When the Chu family heard the commotion in the central room, they quickly walked over…

Li Qingyu hurriedly asked, “Xuyuan, what happened?”

Chu Xuyuan handed the torn homework to Li Qingyu. His eyes were red with anger. “Mother, Li Hongfeng tore my homework.”

Li Qingyu’s heart ached for her son, “Hongfeng…”

Li Hongfeng interrupted her. “Auntie, Chu Xuyuan tore it himself. It has nothing to do with me.”

Li Qingwu chimed in, “Third Sister, children are just playing. Don’t mind them.”

Zheng Guixiang waved her hand and said, “Just write another one. It’s not good to quarrel like this, right?”

Li Hanhai frowned tightly. “Chu Seventh, you’re a boy. Why are you arguing with a girl? You don’t behave like a man at all. Hurry up and go back to write another one. Don’t kick up a fuss!”

Seeing that Chu Xuyuan was aggrieved, Li Qingyu talked back to her parents for the first time and said, “Father, Mother, Xuyuan just wants Hongfeng to apologize. As long as Hongfeng apologizes, this matter will be over.”

She could tell that her son just wanted Li Hongfeng to apologize, but Li Hongfeng refused to admit it, which intensified the conflict.

Li Hongfeng looked up arrogantly. “It’s not my fault. Why should 1 apologize?”

Chu Xuyuan glared fiercely at Li Hongfeng, then rushed back to his room. He swore that he would definitely make Li Hongfeng leave.

Li Qingyu was especially disappointed with her family. She sighed and continued working.

The other Chu family members were the same. They were very displeased with the Li family.

Chu Xuyao came to Chu Qingzhi’s room. “Fifth Sister, are you busy?”

Chu Qingzhi stopped writing and looked at Chu Xuyao with a gentle gaze. “Aren’t you reviewing the content of the teacher’s lecture today? Why are you here?”

Chu Xuyao walked up to Chu Qingzhi and whispered, “Fifth Sister, how can we let the Li family go back?”

Suddenly, the door was pushed open without a knock.

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Xuyao turned around at the same time.

Li Qinghu’s third daughter, Li Yuanzhi, entered. She was about the same age as Chu Qingyue and did not know what politeness was. “In the afternoon, I looked through your wardrobe and saw a few beautiful dresses inside. I want to take one. Qingzhi, your family is so rich now. You won’t mind, right?”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Li Yuanzhi with a faint smile and pretended to be puzzled. “What makes you think I wouldn’t mind?”

Li Fengzhi did not expect Chu Qingzhi to say this. She opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but she didn’t know what to say.

Chu Qingzhi said calmly, “Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, please leave.”

Li Fengzhi looked at Chu Qingzhi with a deep sense of powerlessness. It was as if no matter what she said or did, Chu Qingzhi wouldn’t be affected. She stomped her feet and left angrily.

Chu Xuyao was angrier. He clenched his small fists. “Fifth Sister, look. They are all like this. It’s too annoying.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “If you want the Li family to go back, I’ll give you a hint. You can think of a way. How about that?”

Chu Xuyao was full of fighting spirit. “Fifth Sister, tell me.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Why did the Li family come to our house?”

Chu Xuyao said, “For money!”

“That’s right, for money.” Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Xuyao and guided him patiently. “As long as they think that there’s no profit to be gained, they’ll leave.”

Chu Xuyao said in confusion, “Fifth Sister, our family’s business is doing so well. It doesn’t look like we don’t have money.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled faintly and said, “Xuyao, it doesn’t matter if our family is really rich or not. What’s important is to let them think that our family is poor.” Chu Xuyao was confused. “Fifth Sister, how?”

“You’ll have to use your brain,” Chu Qingzhi reminded him. “Xuyao, let me ask you. If you want others to think that our family doesn’t have money, what can you show them…”

“Show…” Chu Xuyao’s eyes darted around. “Fifth Sister, 1 know what to do.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “Tell me about it.”

Chu Xuyao’s eyes lit up. “1 can tell them that our family actually borrowed a lot of money from others.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Sure. Is there anything else?”

Chu Xuyao pondered for a moment and thought of something. “I can also tell them that someone came to collect debts.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Sure.”

After a while, Chu Xuyao shook his head slowly. “Fifth Sister, 1 can’t think of anything else.”

“Let me give you an idea,” Chu Qingzhi said. “You can let Father and Mother pretend to quarrel over the debt. You can write a fake IOU and deliberately leave it in a place where Eldest Uncle or Second Uncle can see. Or you can ask the villagers to gossip about how poor our family is and let the Li family hear it…”

Chu Xuyao’s eyes lit up. “Fifth Sister, your idea is better.”

When this little fellow is scheming, his eyes are too bright… Chu Qingzhi thought to herself and said, “The more you experience, the more ideas you will have.”

Chu Xuyao felt enlightened. “Fifth Sister, I understand.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Xuyao as if she was looking at her little disciple. “Don’t make a move yet. We still don’t know what Father and Mother’s attitudes towards the Li family are.”

Chu Xuyao said excitedly, “Fifth Sister, 1’11 find an opportunity to ask our parents and get their approval.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Be careful not to let the Li family hear you.”

Chu Xuyao’s eyes lit up. “Yes.”

The two of them looked like a big sly fox and a little sly fox.

Chu Qingzhi didn’t have time to care about these trivial matters for the time being. By the time she drafted the plan, the villagers also arrived at her house.

She came to the courtyard. “Everyone, quiet down and listen to me.”

The village chief was very capable. He found more than a hundred people for her.

Chu Xuede was also among them. As Chu Qingzhi’s third biggest fan, he supported Chu Qingzhi whole-heartedly. “Qingzhi, if there’s anything, just tell us. We’ll definitely do as you say.”

The villagers echoed, “That’s right. We’re not good at other things, but we’ll definitely have no problem with physical work.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled faintly. “I called you here to ask you to help me buy glutinous rice, green beans, and red dates.”

“Because I want to make 200,000 rice dumplings, I need a few thousand catties of ingredients. It will be very difficult to carry them back. I’ll have to trouble you for the next few days.”

The villagers were shocked. 200,000 rice dumplings. After the shock, they were excited. If Chu Qingzhi’s business was good, they could also benefit from it. The better Chu Qingzhi’s business, the better their life.

Chu Xuede said loudly, “No problem. Leave everything to us.”

Chu Qingzhi handed the plan to Shen Ruyue. “You can arrange the rest.”

Shen Ruyue lowered her head and looked at the plan. She was extremely impressed. Chu Qingzhi’s plan was very detailed and precise..
