A BMW sedan drove into the village, causing an immediate stir among the villagers. In the depths of the mountains, cars were rarely seen, so adults and children alike chased after it.
"Is this someone's relative? Do we have anyone in our village with such wealthy relatives?"
"I don't know! This car is different from the ones I see in town. It looks so good. It must be very valuable!"
"Holy cow! Isn't that Lu Fan running over there? He's not going to his place, is he!"
"No wonder this kid is buying up mountains and building greenhouses. He must have a good relative supporting him. If I had such a good relative, I'd do it too!"
As Lu Fan ran towards the intersection, a group of people pointed and commented.
"Sister Xuemei! Over here...!" Lu Fan called out from a distance.
The sedan followed Lu Fan's direction and arrived at Lu Fan's house.
A stunning beauty emerged from the car, her looks rivaling even Shen Xinyi. Dressed in a sharp little suit, she exuded the aura of a career woman. Her black high heels showcased her long, straight, beautiful legs, making anyone who saw them feel an urge to possess them.
"Oh my goodness! What a beautiful woman..." Zhao Rongrong and Lu Changfu were stunned to see the beautiful woman driving the BMW enter the courtyard with Lu Fan. When did Lu Fan get to know so many beautiful women, and each one more attractive than the last! Good heavens! My son is having a love affair!
"Mom! Dad! This is Bai Xuemei, Manager Bai. The mushrooms I picked are all being sent to Manager Bai's restaurant." Seeing his parents' stunned expressions, Lu Fan quickly called out.
"Oh... oh! Look at you, child, not telling us when guests are coming. The house is such a mess inside and out!" Zhao Rongrong finally snapped out of her daze and muttered.
"Auntie! It's alright. I'm just here to pick up the mushrooms and will be leaving soon!" Bai Xuemei said with a slight smile.
Her gaze swept across the courtyard, and she immediately spotted the pheasants and rabbits in cages on both sides. Her eyes lit up. It seemed this kid wasn't bragging after all.
Wang Laowai had just finished cleaning the chicken and rabbit coops and was cleaning the pigsty. Seeing Lu Fan bring in a stunning beauty who could rival a big star, his neck suddenly stiffened and snapped. He couldn't turn it. He stared at Bai Xuemei without blinking, almost drooling.
This Wang Laowai was originally unwilling to do such dirty and smelly work, but he was truly afraid of Lu Fan. If he dared to slack off, Lu Fan would come with silver needles, making him tremble. Lu Fan had said, "I can heal you, and I can also cripple you."
"Sister Xuemei! Come and see the little wild boar babies! They're very cute! And they grow very fast!" Lu Fan knew that Bai Xuemei had come without notice because she wanted to surprise him. To see if he was bragging! So he led Bai Xuemei to the pigsty.
The nine little boar babies had grown quickly in the past few days, already weighing over twenty catties. They were all plump and active, running around in the pigsty.
A hint of shock flashed in Bai Xuemei's eyes. This kid had actually started a farm. Although the scale was not large yet, it was a good start.
"I've contracted the back mountain, Sister Xuemei. To ensure they are truly wild, I plan to let them roam freely in the back mountain from now on. I'm also building a greenhouse at the foot of the mountain to cultivate mushrooms." Lu Fan explained as he introduced.
"Free-range? That must be quite difficult!?" Bai Xuemei asked in surprise.
"Heh heh! It's not too difficult for me!" Lu Fan chuckled. With his taming skills, it was naturally no problem.
"Alright! How many mushrooms do you have? I'll take them all this time." Bai Xuemei shook her head. How Lu Fan raised his animals was none of her concern; the current scale was also relatively small. It would take some time to have a large output. Therefore, her main concern was still the mushrooms.
"The mushrooms have all been dried. I had over five hundred catties before, and I don't know how much is left after drying. I'll have someone deliver them." Lu Fan said, then called Wang Yan.
Before long, Wang Yan delivered the mushrooms. Seeing Bai Xuemei, Wang Yan was a little surprised. Why were all the women around Lu Fan so beautiful? No wonder he didn't fall for her attempts to seduce him.
Seeing Wang Yan, Bai Xuemei was also a bit surprised. Such a beautiful and sexy young woman in this small mountain village?
Lu Fan weighed them. The dried mushrooms were still over a hundred catties. Some were not completely dried, weighing over a hundred and fifty catties.
"Sister Xuemei! These mushrooms are not completely dried yet, and they are not easy to store. Perhaps you can pick them up next time!" Lu Fan said with some difficulty. This way, the price couldn't be calculated.
"Actually, I can't eat this much. But it's okay, I've already contacted a good friend in the provincial capital. He also runs a hotel. I'll give him this part that's dried, and I'll keep the rest. I have banquets booked for the next two days, and the demand is high.
Since you have both dried and fresh ones, I'll pay you three hundred yuan per catty for them. If they were all dried, it would be three hundred and fifty yuan per catty." Bai Xuemei said, then took out her phone and transferred seventy-five thousand yuan to Lu Fan.
"Seventy-five thousand?"
Whether it was Zhao Rongrong, Lu Changfu, or Wang Yan, they were all stunned! Mushrooms were that valuable?
"Mom! Make a stewed wild pheasant with mushrooms! Sister Xuemei is staying for lunch!" Lu Fan said happily to Zhao Rongrong.
"Make... make... I'll go make it right away!" Zhao Rongrong immediately went to cook. She was so happy, seventy-five thousand yuan! Hahaha! Forget wild pheasant, she could even roast a suckling pig if it would help.
Bai Xuemei smiled and didn't refuse. She suddenly became interested in this mountain village. This kid's mushrooms were delicious and had a unique flavor. Bai Xuemei had even taken them to the food safety department for testing, and the results were even more surprising. The nutritional content of these mushrooms was many times higher than ordinary mushrooms. She really wanted to know what was going on.
Ring ring... Suddenly, a phone rang, and Bai Xuemei immediately took out her phone. She glanced at the number, and her expression changed slightly.
"Lu Fan, I'm going to take a call!" Bai Xuemei took her phone and went outside before answering.
Lu Fan hesitated, seeing Bai Xuemei's expression...
"Grandpa! I will not agree to this marriage!" Bai Xuemei's anxious voice came through.
Lu Fan's mouth twitched. He wondered what kind of family this was, forcing their children into marriage! Lin Quan, that scoundrel, with his character, if Bai Xuemei really married him, she would definitely not be happy!
"Okay! Grandpa! I will definitely do it! And I will never marry into the Lin family!" Bai Xuemei hung up the phone and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her emotions. Only then did she slowly return to the courtyard.
"Sister Xuemei! If you need my help, just ask, and I will go through fire and water for you!" Seeing Bai Xuemei return, Lu Fan quickly went to say. If Bai Xuemei was willing, he really wanted to teach that Lin Quan a good lesson. That scoundrel! Brother Hu and Sister Yao were likely hired by this guy!
