Big Client

Xu Han: "...What wish are you fulfilling?"

"It's just that I asked it to bless me with a wife this year a couple of days ago. Yesterday, my second sister-in-law introduced me to a girl, and we were both quite satisfied with each other."

Xu Han: "..."

That worked too???

Holy crap, this really was superstition, wasn't it?

Xu Han was dumbfounded. When Alai saw Yellow Immortal sunning himself belly-up in the courtyard, he hurriedly carried the pig's head inside and bowed to him three times. "I've brought this humble gift to fulfill my vow. Thank you, Yellow Immortal, for blessing me with a wife."

As he spoke, he placed the pig's head before Yellow Immortal.

Seeing such a huge pig's head, Yellow Immortal seemed interested. He hopped onto it and sniffed here and there.

Alai's face lit up. "Thank you, Great Immortal, for not finding my gift too meager. Please bless me with two children in three years and a happy family."

Xu Han once again: "..."

Would you ever stop?

Xu Han absolutely refused to accept such a huge pig's head. It would take forever just to scrape off the bristles, and it looked terrifying besides. But Alai insisted it was only a small token of appreciation. After thanking Yellow Immortal, he darted off in a flash.

Xu Han looked at the pig's head, which seemed to have died with its eyes wide open, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She picked Yellow Immortal off the pig's head, patted the blood off his paws, and said, "Are you really that amazing?"

Yellow Immortal stared at her with his round black eyes, unable to understand what she was saying.

"If you really are that amazing, bless us with a big client who'll clear out the vegetables from my two gardens. Make me richer than Gu Yanqing too, so my son won't have to envy his money anymore."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Han added, "Mm, that second wish is harder. So help me fulfill the first one first."

Xu Han had only been joking. What happened with Alai had definitely been a coincidence. He was already a rather presentable young man, and he was practical and hardworking too. He could earn nearly two hundred yuan a day selling bamboo, with five thousand yuan a month guaranteed.

In the countryside, five thousand yuan a month counted as an "enormous" income. After all, building a three-story brick house here only cost around a hundred thousand yuan.

So it was perfectly normal for that girl to take a liking to him. It was just a coincidence.

Yet truth was stranger than fiction. The very next day, an incredibly wealthy client really came to their home.

Big Client

That big client was named Tan Yue, the wealthy man who had donated a teaching building to Dongyang Elementary School.

Tan Yue first explained why he had come. As expected, Principal Qiu had given him a basket of vegetables grown by Xu Han's family. He had developed a taste for the legendary green food of the countryside, asked Principal Qiu for the address, and took advantage of Saturday to come again and buy more to take home.

—That was how rich people were. Once they got tired of delicacies from land and sea, they started returning to nature, even traveling thousands of miles to a place like this just to buy some vegetables.

Someone with no ambitions like Xu Han would not even bother picking up a bear paw if there was one in the mountains thousands of miles away.

When he met the vegetable grower, even the well-traveled Tan Yue was so surprised that his jaw nearly dropped.

She was actually a young woman who looked to be around twenty-five, and she was strikingly beautiful. She possessed a natural brilliance beyond even those celebrities who made a living off their faces, making him sigh that beautiful mountains and clear waters raised beautiful women.

Xu Han always felt that the name Tan Yue sounded familiar. He should have been a character who had appeared in the book, but she could not recall who he was at the moment.

Tan Yue looked about the same age as Gu Yanqing, but his temperament was entirely different. Gu Yanqing leaned toward aloofness, while this man was gentle and refined. His handsome features and bright, star-like eyes gave him the air of a modest gentleman.

Being around Gu Yanqing made people instinctively wary, whereas being around Tan Yue made them genuinely feel at ease.

Because Mr. Tan was gentle, courteous, humble, and kind-looking, Xu Han had a good impression of him and received him politely.

"Mr. Tan, please have some tea." Xu Han poured him a cup.

"Thank you." Tan Yue took a sip of the green tea Xu Han had just brewed. A crisp fragrance flowed from the tea across his lips and teeth, subtle and elegant, its flavor lingering. Tan Yue narrowed his eyes slightly. "Excellent tea."

"I'm glad it suits your taste, Mr. Tan."

"Did you make this tea yourself as well?"

"No, I bought it from a producer in town. It's spring tea, but none is available now. There won't be any until spring. If you like it, Mr. Tan, I'll give you a box later."

Tan Yue nodded with a faint smile. "Thank you."

At the moment, Grandma Qiao had taken Koukou to visit relatives. Xu Han did not need to look after the child, so she smiled and said, "Please sit for a while, Mr. Tan. I'll go to the fields and pick the vegetables for you."

Tan Yue said calmly, "There's no rush. Once I've finished this tea, I'll go take a look with you."

Xu Han glanced outside. "It just rained, so your shoes might get dirty."

"It's no trouble."

Since he did not mind, Xu Han said nothing more. Her vegetable garden was not afraid of visitors anyway, so she sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries with Tan Yue.

After Tan Yue leisurely finished his tea, the two of them went to the vegetable garden together.

"Miss Qiao, you've grown so many vegetables. They can't be easy to sell around here, can they?"

Tan Yue toured Xu Han's vegetable garden. Seeing that the fruits and vegetables filling both gardens were all ripe and would probably rot soon, he felt deeply regretful when he thought of how delicious they were.

Xu Han sighed. "I didn't know they would grow this well either. All I can do is see whether I can pickle some or dry them into vegetable preserves."

Koukou's urine was incredibly potent, and the vegetables in the garden grew exceptionally fast. The place was a lush expanse of green. She had given plenty away to the village neighbors, and the school had taken the largest share, yet there was still a great deal left over.

Besides, winter was the best season for growing vegetables in the countryside. Everyone had garden after garden of vegetables, making hers even harder to sell.
