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

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Is It Really That Good?

At the dinner table, He Hongming explained the partnership between his family’s supermarket and Shen Nian’s farm. He also made sure to mention that the vegetables he brought back yesterday came from the Shen Family Farm.

"Nonsense, He Hongming!" Mr. He chided. "If Nian’s family needs money for the farm, we should just give it to them. Why make things so complicated?"

In Mr. He’s eyes, this whole business with a contract was an insult to their relationship with Nian! His honorary granddaughter needed money for her farm; there was no need for all this!

"This..."

He Hongming was struck dumb by his father’s rebuke. When he had discussed the partnership with Shen Nian, this whole "honorary granddaughter" business hadn’t come up yet! But thinking about it now, ’It seems I really did handle this improperly.’

’But the contract is already signed. We can’t just tear it up!’

He Hongming glanced over at Shen Nian and saw her give a small smile before turning to He Yixiong to speak.

"Grandpa, our friendship is one thing, and business is another. They’re two separate matters! Besides, I have confidence in our family’s farm. This partnership should be a win-win for both of us. Isn’t that a good thing?"

He Hongming understood the concept of a "win-win" better than anyone, which was why he was completely on board with partnering with the Shen Family Farm!

He Hongjun, however, was in the dark. He hadn’t been home yesterday, so he hadn’t tasted the vegetables Shen Nian brought over. Naturally, he didn’t understand what this "win-win" was all about.

However, before He Hongjun could ask anything, the little tyke, He Chenfeng, spoke up.

"So, does this mean we can eat those delicious vegetables from yesterday every day from now on?"

Shen Nian patted the adorable He Chenfeng on the head and said with a smile,

"That’s right. And from now on, Xiao Feng can eat as much as he wants."

Although they had only just met, Shen Nian had grown quite fond of the adorable little boy, He Chenfeng.

"That’s great! I won’t be a picky eater anymore! I’ll eat two bowls of rice at every meal!"

"This..."

Seeing He Chenfeng’s reaction, He Hongjun was stunned. He knew his nephew’s usual behavior all too well. Normally, you’d have to beg him just to eat a single bite of vegetables. Why was he suddenly so eager?

’Could the vegetables from the Shen Family Farm really be that good?’

"They’re really that good, Big Brother," He Hongming said. "If you don’t believe me, ask Dad."

When he saw his father nod in agreement, He Hongjun couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. Why on earth hadn’t he come home yesterday? He had completely missed out.

’Besides, the Shen Family Farm isn’t even open yet. It’ll probably be a while before they can eat those vegetables again!’

’Everyone in the family got to eat them except for me, and now they’re all going on and on about how delicious they are right in front of my face. It’s absolute torture!’

Shen Nian and her brother didn’t stay at the He family’s home for long. Although the He family urged them to stay, Shen Nian decided that since the partnership was settled, they should head back early to get things in order at the farm.

’After all,’ she thought, ’I’m still planning to go to B City to find Lu Cheng once everything here is taken care of.’

Before she left, Shen Nian also gave He Yixiong a traditional Chinese medicine prescription and a few medicinal meal recipes. As for the herbs themselves, Shen Nian trusted that the He family would be able to buy the best for Mr. He, so she didn’t interfere, wanting to avoid arousing any suspicion.

As they were leaving, Mr. He repeatedly urged Shen Nian to visit him more often. He added that it would be best if she could bring her husband next time, saying he wanted to properly "vet" him for her.

Shen Nian felt a bit helpless. ’Bringing Lu Cheng here in the future won’t be a problem,’ she thought, ’as long as they don’t talk about wanting me as their granddaughter-in-law in front of him!’

Upon returning to L County, Shen Nian and Shen Xiangdong didn’t go straight home. Instead, they went directly to the county officials. Using the advance payment they received from the He family, they signed a thirty-year lease for the mountain forest and farmland.
