Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 114 Planning Ahead

The group sat together,

They all looked at Lu Qingqing with serious eyes.

Lu Qingqing cleared her throat and continued:

"Although this is a small business,

And it hasn't even started selling yet.

But we all need to plan ahead.

Let me explain the division of labor issue.

If anyone has any questions

"You can bring it up in time, and we can discuss it further."

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively,

No one asked any questions.

Lu Qingqing continued:

"First of all, Brother Wang Yuan needs to invest in raising chickens."

Plucking a chicken's feathers also takes skill.

I think we should first pay the cost of the daily chicken to the eldest brother at market price.

If the fried chicken becomes profitable later on...

Then, the eldest brother will receive another 20% of the net profit from selling fried chicken.

Wang Yuan quickly said:

"Qingqing, we're all family, there's no need to be so formal."

Lu Qingqing shook her head:

"Brother, this won't do."

What needs to be calculated must be calculated clearly.

This way, everyone feels at ease.

Wang Xiuxiu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, brother, Qingqing is right."

Lu Qingqing continued:

The old lady helped cook for everyone.

We can't let the old lady down either.

Therefore, I think the fried chicken's net profit should also be shared with the old lady, accounting for 10%.

Wang Xiuxiu's adoptive mother hurriedly waved her hand:

"Oh, child, I'm just helping out."

"Why would I want your share?"

Lu Qingqing held the old woman's hand:

"Auntie, it's a favor that you came to help."

But cooking for everyone is quite tiring.

This 10% is what you deserve.

"The rest will be split 30/30 between us and my second brother's family."

"Keep one-tenth as a filial offering to your father."

After Lu Qingqing finished speaking, she looked at everyone.

Lin Qingshan laughed heartily:

"Qingqing, you're so kind, but your father doesn't care about that."

As long as you're doing well, that's all that matters.

Lin Erzhu said:

"Father, Qingqing said it's for you, so please accept it."

We'll all follow Qingqing's arrangements.

Lu Qingqing looked at everyone intently:

"So, does everyone have any objections to this profit sharing?"

Everyone agreed.

A relieved smile appeared on Lu Qingqing's face:

"Alright, since no one has any objections..."

Let's work together to make this fried chicken business a success!

Wang Yuan always felt that he had gotten the better deal.

Not only do they keep the cost of the chickens themselves, but they also...

They even got 20% of the profits for nothing.

Wang Yuan readily agreed:

"My dear sister,"

Since you've taken such good care of me,

I can't just give nothing at all.

Okay then.

Use our fryer, oil, and utensils for the fried chicken.

Mom came here to cook.

"We don't need that many pots at home right now."

Lu Qingqing said gratefully:

"That's wonderful, Brother Wang Yuan!"

This will save us some money.

Wang Xiuxiu also said with a smile:

"Big brother's idea is good!"

The foster mother chimed in from the side:

"We're all family, it's only right that we help each other out."

Lin Qingshan looked at everyone with satisfaction:

"Just because these kids have such a strong sense of unity,

Our fried chicken business is definitely going to be a success!

Everyone laughed happily.

Before we knew it, the sky gradually darkened.

Lu Qingqing, Wang Xiuxiu, and their adoptive mother Wei Lianrong cooked some food together.

At the dinner table, everyone ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.

After eating,

Lin Erzhu and Wang Xiuxiu drove an oxcart to take Brother Wang Yuan away.

Lin Erzhu said with a smile:

"Brother, go back and take good care of the chickens."

We can't afford to make any mistakes.

Wang Yuan responded:

"Don't worry, brother-in-law,"

I'll raise the chickens until they're plump and fat; I'll have to work hard.

Because Uncle Liu and his group will be coming to build the house tomorrow.

Someone needs to cook for them.

So Wei Lianrong went back with her to get two pieces of clothing.

starting today,

She temporarily stayed at Wang Xiuxiu's house.

Wei Lianrong said:

"Xiuxiu, you guys are doing so well now."

Even oxcarts are available now.

Wang Xiuxiu said:

"Mother, Qingqing bought this oxcart."

However, our whole family can use it freely.

Wei Lianrong said with satisfaction:

"Xiuer, your mother has figured it out."

Qingqing is a kind-hearted child.

If you become her sister-in-law, your mother will have complete peace of mind.

You should treat them well too.

Be more diligent and do more in everything.

Wang Xiuxiu nodded obediently and replied:

"Mother, I know,"

Qingqing is a good person.

I will definitely get along well with her.

They'll also help out more.

Wei Lianrong gently patted Wang Xiuxiu's hand.

Said:

"That's good. A family should live in harmony."

Only by looking out for each other can we make our lives better.

Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile:

"Mother, don't worry about it."

Our family's future will definitely get better and better.

At this moment, the oxcart continued to move slowly forward.

The stars twinkled in the night sky.

It was as if they were also listening to the heartwarming conversation between the mother and daughter.

Lu Qingqing was somewhat embarrassed.

Now that we've moved into a new house, we have more rooms.

The children all chose to sleep on their own.

Shuang'er originally wanted to sleep with her parents,

But her brothers coaxed her into Shuang'er's own room.

At this time,

Lu Qingqing looked at the only bed in the room.

I'm a little embarrassed.

Lin Yunlan was much more frank.

After tidying up, I slept on the inside of the bed.

He looked at Lu Qingqing and said:

"Qingqing, why don't you sleep on the outside for a while?"

I'm going to sleep now.

Lu Qingqing blushed slightly and said softly:

"okay."

Lin Yunlan soon resumed even breathing.

Lu Qingqing stood there, her heart pounding.

After a while,

She slowly walked to the bedside.

I lay down gently, my body tense, afraid to move.

The night grew deeper and deeper.

Lu Qingqing listened to Lin Yunlan's breathing.

My mood gradually calmed down, and I slowly drifted off to sleep.

After she fell asleep,

Lin Yunlan then opened her eyes.

He looked at Lu Qingqing's pretty face,

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Lin Yunlan was calculating in his mind,

Once this busy period is over,

We must make it up to Lu Qingqing properly.

They welcomed her back into the house in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men.

Previously, because he was a living dead,

Therefore, the two did not hold a wedding ceremony.

After spending this time together,

Lin Yunlan was very certain.

Lu Qingqing is the person he cares about most right now.

Moonlight streamed into the room through the window.

Lin Yunlan's eyes were full of tenderness and determination.

He gently reached out his hand.

He wanted to touch Lu Qingqing's face.

But it withdrew just before they were about to meet.

He was afraid that his actions would wake her up.

Lin Yunlan secretly vowed,

We must ensure that Lu Qingqing lives a happy life.

I will never let her suffer any more grievances.

As he pondered, he slowly closed his eyes.

Accompanied by Lu Qingqing's breathing beside him,

I drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, the group got up early again.

After the herbal tea is made,

Lin Yunlan and Lin Erzhu took Daya and Erya into the city.

Lu Qingqing stayed at home and busied herself in the kitchen.

As she chopped the vegetables, she thought about the dishes her children would like to eat.

A gentle smile graced her face.

Lu Qingqing muttered to herself:

"I need to make braised pork."

The kids love this the most.

And sweet and sour pork ribs, that's a must too.

She skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in the pan.

The aroma gradually filled the air.

Just then, Shuang'er ran in.

He said in a childish voice:

"Mother, let me help you."

Lu Qingqing patted Shuang'er's head and said:

"Good boy, go outside and play."

Mother finished cooking quickly.

Shuang'er blinked and obediently ran out.

Lu Qingqing continued to focus intently on cooking the food.

She wanted the children to have a wonderful holiday.

I could feel her overflowing maternal love.
