Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 341: 110: Grand Opening, Li Yanran’s Invitation_2

At the sound of this, Ni Cuihua fell momentarily silent.

She was fortunate to have such a thoughtful daughter.

In other families, when one parent is gone, it’s typically hard for children to accept the prospect of a parent remarrying because they often fear that a step-father or step-mother may not treat them well.

Yet, Ni Yang seemed completely indifferent to this and even voluntarily brought up the matter.

Ni Cuihua continued, “Yangyang, Mom appreciates your concern, but I really haven’t given any thought to these things. Your younger sister is still little. Let’s revisit this topic when she’s a bit older.”

Ni Yang’s career was currently flourishing, and Little Ni Yun was only nine months old. Ni Cuihua genuinely had no energy to contemplate such messy matters.

She should make the most of her opportunity to assist Ni Yang.

How could she pursue romance when her daughter is busy and working so hard?

Ni Yang added, “Mom, Aunt Zhou Xiaolian mentioned to me today that she has a single brother. From what she said, he seems not bad. Would you like to meet him?”

Though Ni Yang had some reservations about Zhou Xiaolian’s brother, she felt it was nevertheless necessary to discuss this with Ni Cuihua.

After all, it would be up to Ni Cuihua to pick her partner.

“No need.” Ni Cuihua refused without hesitation.

Ni Yang gave a nod, “Okay, I respect your decision. In fact, I also think Zhou Xiaolian’s brother doesn’t quite seem right. When we encounter an outstanding middle-aged man in the future, I’ll definitely keep my eyes open for you! Mom, you should keep your spirits up.”

Upon hearing this, a momentary blush darted across Ni Cuihua’s face, “What are you saying, you silly girl!”

Not long after, Ni Yang finished cooking four dishes.

The main course for the night was green bean and lotus leaf porridge.

Modern medical research has shown that lotus leaves have beneficial properties such as lowering blood pressure, reducing blood lipids, relieving heat, suppressing bacteria, relieving spasms, and reducing fat.

The combination of lotus leaves and green beans is particularly effective for weight loss and body sculpting.

It’s not sufficient to focus solely on breast enlargement; one needs to attain a perfect body proportion.

Ni Yang currently has a great body proportion, and she needs to maintain it.

The side dish was Mapo Tofu.

She heated the rapeseed oil, added scallion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then added bean paste until the oil turned red. Next, she added spicy hot capsicum, Sichuan pepper, and chili powder. Finally, she tossed in tofu that had been blanched in boiling water. In no time, a mouthwatering aroma of spicy and numbing Mapo Tofu filled the room.

The spicy and numbing sensation was irresistible! With this bowl of Mapo Tofu, one could consume several bowls of green bean and lotus leaf porridge!

Furthermore, Tofu has the property of boosting metabolism which can contribute to longevity.

Next, she prepared sautéed lamb liver with eel.

Eel contains components such as vitamin A and lecithin, all of which are beneficial to hormonal secretion and essential for breast development.

Therefore, during puberty, it’s crucial for girls to consume more eel to achieve breast enlargement.

Winter melon stew with black fish.

The combination of black fish and winter melon has great blood circulation-promoting and liver and kidney-nourishing effects, making it a particularly beneficial dish for women.

The final side dish was Spicy Pickled Cowpeas.

For dinner, there were three stir-fry dishes and a pickled dish, which made for a highly satisfying meal for the three of them.

The next day, just as Ni Yang arrived at her shop, Zhou Xiaolian showed up, “Yangyang, did you tell your mom about what we discussed yesterday?”

“I did.” Ni Yang replied honestly, “But my mom isn’t currently considering anything in that regard. Auntie, thank you for your kindness, but it seems that there’s no destined connection between your brother and my mom.”

Was this a rejection?

Zhou Xiaolian looked at Ni Yang, somewhat incredulous.

With such great prospects, how could Ni Yang refuse her brother?

Could it be that Ni Yang felt superior because she owned a few shops and looked down on her brother?

What did ownership of a few shops amount to? A petty proprietor could never compare to her brother, who was a high-ranking official!

Or could it be that Ni Yang didn’t tell Ni Cuihua about this at all?

Yes!

That must be it.

This seemingly sensible girl was far more cunning than she appeared. Afraid that her mother might treat her badly after getting married, she decided to deceive them all.

With a smile remaining on her face, Zhou Xiaolian said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll be heading back then.”

“Take care, Auntie.”

The moment Zhou Xiaolian returned to her shop, her husband, Li Yinsheng, came out to meet her, “How did it go? Did you arrange everything?”

Zhou Xiaolian shook her head.

Li Yinsheng said, “I told you earlier, don’t harbor unrealistic hopes. With the income her shop brings in each month, do you think she would consider your brother?”

With that, Li Yinsheng showed two fingers to signify a monetary amount.
