Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: The Timing Is Bad, but the Idea Is Good

"Well, a farmstead... I’m not totally unfamiliar with the idea. Others have tried it before, but didn’t they all end up losing everything in the end? Shen Jian Country, you sure have some nerve!"

Guo Chunxiang deliberately brought this up when the whole family was gathered. She wanted to show everyone that the Shen family members were good-for-nothings. She didn’t believe for a second that this farmstead of theirs could ever amount to anything!

Who knows? They’ll probably end up just like everyone else and lose their entire fortune.

Guo Chunxiang wasn’t saying this out of any concern for Shen Jian Country’s family. She simply wanted to ridicule them and show everyone just how unreliable they were.

"Well... Shen Jian Country, while what your sister-in-law said was harsh, is this farmstead you want to start really a sound plan?"

They’d heard the stories Guo Chunxiang was talking about—of people losing their entire fortunes. So, hearing that Shen Jian Country and his family were planning to start a farmstead made them a little worried.

"Grandpa, the farmstead we’re building will be different from those other ones. We’re confident we can make it a success!"

It wasn’t so much that Shen Xiangdong had faith in them as a whole, but that he had faith in Shen Nian. His little sister was becoming more and more capable lately. He believed that as long as she was involved, anything they did was bound to succeed!

"Tsk, tsk. Still feeling confident, are we? What’s the source of all this confidence? I heard that on top of renting farmland, you’re also planning to rent a barren mountain. What can you possibly do with a barren mountain? Are you hoping to dig for treasure up there? ’Confident’? More like waiting to go broke, if you ask me!"

The earlier warmth on Guo Chunxiang’s face had vanished. Now, she looked at the Shen Family with an expression of pure glee at their misfortune, as if she could already see them losing all their money and going bankrupt.

"Aunt, we’re all relatives. It would be one thing if you just didn’t say anything supportive, but how can you be so nasty!"

"What’s so nasty about what I said? I’m just stating facts!"

"You..."

"Xiang Dong."

Shen Xiangdong wanted to argue further, but Shen Jian Country, who was beside him, stopped him. When he saw his father shake his head, Shen Xiangdong had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"Actually, since Sister-in-law brought up the farmstead, I have a small favor to ask. Our family is, in fact, planning to open a farmstead. We’ve already negotiated the lease agreements for the farmland and the mountain. As soon as we sign the papers, our farmstead can get started. I was originally going to wait and bring this up when the time was right, but since she’s already raised the topic, I’ll take this opportunity to..."

"Wait a minute, Shen Jian Country. You’re not thinking of asking to borrow money, are you?"

Shen Jian Country had, in fact, been planning to ask for a loan. He had already sent word to the Shen family and was just waiting for their reply.

As for the Miao Family, Shen Jian Country didn’t want to put his wife in an awkward position, so he had decided to be the one to broach the subject.

But for Guo Chunxiang to blurt it out first, and in such a humiliating tone, made Shen Jian Country’s expression flicker.

However, when Shen Nian, who was standing to the side, heard the words "borrow money," her eyes instantly lit up. ’Although this isn’t a great time for Shen Jian Country to bring up a loan, it’s not a bad idea at all!’
