After Mao Dao thought for a moment, he nodded.

Mao Dao’s greatest strength was that he listened to other people’s advice. Therefore, after Zhao Sisi arrived, Mao Dao pulled her aside to tell her what had happened today.

Zhao Sisi was shocked when she heard Mao Dao’s words.

Because she didn’t know about this at all.

But on second thought, it made sense. She had already moved in with her grandpa and grandma, so she didn’t know much about her family’s matters. Her parents wouldn’t come to her, so no wonder she didn’t know anything.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sisi heaved a sigh of relief.

“Don’t worry about this. Leave it to me! Actually, my parents want to use you to ask Xiaoran how to earn money! Instead of letting you be used by my parents, why don’t I ask her myself?!”

When Mao Dao heard Zhao Sisi’s words, he said self-reproachfully, “Why don’t

I ask?! After all, your father asked me to do this!”

“No need!” Zhao Sisi shook her head and said, “Mao Dao, I know you want to make things less difficult for me, but have you ever thought about it? It’s very likely that the more you do, the more mistakes you make. In the future, you won’t receive my parents’ gratitude. Instead, you’ll cause them to complain. Besides, this time, they looked for you behind my back. If you do it, they’ll definitely make even more outrageous requests next time! Do you have to satisfy my parents every time? What if one day, you can’t do what my parents want you to do?”

Mao Dao was stunned when he heard Zhao Sisi’s words.

He really hadn’t thought that much about it.

Zhao Sisi voiced her thoughts, “Mao Dao, I know you want to do something for me, but there are some things you can’t do. If my parents were as clear-headed as before, you should help if you can. But my parents are obsessed now. No matter what you do, you won’t get any gratitude from them!”

After hearing Zhao Sisi’s words, Mao Dao knew what to do if he encountered such a thing in the future.

“Alright, I understand what to do!”

Zhao Sisi laughed when she heard Mao Dao’s words.

“You did the right thing this time. You didn’t hide anything from me! In the future, after we get married, you have to do the same! Everything has to be discussed. This way, there won’t be any conflict and our lives can become more and more prosperous!”

“Yes, yes, okay. I’ll listen to you!” Mao Dao smiled happily.

After saying this, Zhao Sisi sat on the chair alone and thought for a while before going to look for Li Xiaoqing.

“Xiao Qing, I have something to discuss with Xiaoran. I’ll come over later to cook noodles!”

Li Xiaoqing naturally knew why Zhao Sisi was looking for her sister, so she nodded.

“Alright, go ahead! It’s fine. You can come back after the matter is settled. I can handle it alone!”

Zhao Sisi nodded and turned to leave the shop.

When Zhao Sisi arrived, Li Xiaoran had just returned from the vegetable garden.

The cabbages in the dishes grew very well. There were so many that the family couldn’t even finish them.

Li Xiaoran planned to cut some and make a spicy cabbage dish.

Because she didn’t know if everyone could accept the taste of spicy cabbage, Li Xiaoran decided to make some for everyone to try first.

If everyone liked it, she would make more.

She could also make some Dickled vegetables.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran cut more than ten cabbages.

Just as she was peeling some old leaves off the cabbage, Zhao Sisi walked in.

“It’s Sisi! It’s rare to see you visit me!” Li Xiaoran teased.

Zhao Sisi said with a smile, “I was busy earning money. I’m about to get married, so I naturally have to earn more money. Only then will I have more confidence when I marry into my in-laws’ family in the future!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and agreed, “That makes sense! Women can’t be short of money. We can only be confident if we have enough money!”

“Cousin, what are you doing?” Zhao Sisi asked curiously as she watched Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue fiddle with the cabbage leaves.

“Didn’t I plant a lot of cabbage? We can’t finish them all, but we can’t let them rot in the ground! Every family in the village planted a lot of cabbage, so no one wanted them even when I gave them away. Therefore, I thought of turning the cabbage into pickled vegetables and spicy cabbage. This way, when there are no fresh harvests in winter, these can still be eaten as vegetables!” Li Xiaoran revealed her plan.

When Zhao Sisi heard this, she quickly washed her hands and helped rack the old leaves outside.

“Cousin, actually, I came this time to ask you for a favor!” Zhao Sisi told her why she was there.

“If you need my help, just tell me. Don’t be so polite.”

Zhao Sisi told her the whole story without hiding anything.

Zhao Sisi sighed and said, “I don’t know why my father suddenly thought of such an idea. He wants to do business, but he used Mao Dao to ask you for business ideas!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she didn’t agree or disagree. After she just pondered for a while, she looked at Zhao Sisi. “Sisi! Since you came to me, have you made a decision?”

Zhao Sisi hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Cousin, that’s what I think. Instead of letting my parents do business, why don’t you help Mao Dao and me?! Show us a way out and we’ll do business. This way, if my parents want to do business, let them pay. When the time comes, I’ll give them a share of the money. However, I’ll say this in advance. Other than sharing the money, my parents can’t interfere in anything else. This can be considered my filial piety to my parents!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Zhao Sisi’s thoughts, she smiled.

“It’s good that you think that way! If Lijun was as smart as you, your family wouldn’t have come to this! It’s only right to be filial to your parents, but you can’t be stupidly filial!”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Since you have such an idea, I can point you in the right direction. However, there’s a question I have to ask you first. Do you want to make the business big or small?”

“What do you mean?” Zhao Sisi asked in confusion.

“If you run a small business, you can earn as much money as selling sliced noodles. As you can see, the profit from selling sliced noodles is hard -earned money. You get up early every day and work until nighttime, but the advantage is that business is stable and there are many customers.. You won’t earn a lot of money, but if you’re diligent, you can accumulate a lot of money!” Li Xiaoran explained, “Big money is naturally business that earns more money, but you should also understand that you will invest more capital and the risk will be higher! You might lose money in the early stages!”
