Xiao Lingyu explained, “Think of it as buying a house, and you can pay in installments. Incidentally, the car dealership where I bought the car from was owned by a friend. He gave me a large discount.”

“Oh, I didn’t know you could do that.” Xiao Lingyu’s fourth aunt and uncle nodded.

However, Mother Xiao was still worried, “But Yu ‘Er, you still need to pay 2000 RMB per month. Will we have enough money?”

In the countryside, a normal family could barely earn one thousand per year. Some were in a state of close poverty. A car that cost 2000 RMB per month was still a hefty burden.

Xiao Lingyu said, “Mom, it’s fine. I have managed to negotiate a partnership with a big hotel in the county town. I will provide them with 300 catties of vegetables every day. Mom, you should know that will be a good constant stream of income.”

Mother Xiao asked suspiciously, “But Yu ‘Er, what about your cost? Don’t you need to pay your friend?”

The vegetables could sell for a high price, but they might not have a high clean profit. Furthermore, that was not counting the transportation fee and so on.

Xiao Lingyu, “…” It’s true that you need more lies to cover up the previous one.

Xiao Lingyu felt her future darken slightly. However, she still did not plan to say anything about the farming space for the time being.

Xiao Lingyu said, “Mom, my friend said that we can owe him the money for now. We can pay him back later. In any case, you don’t need to worry about the car installments.”

“Alright!” Mother Xiao nodded. “Yu ‘Er, when you need money, you have to tell mom and dad, okay? We’ll think of a way together as a family.”

“Thank you, Mom!” Xiao Lingyu was warmed. Parents were always the safe haven for their children.

Liu Chunjiao added, “Yu ‘Er, your fourth uncle, and I will be there for you too. If you need anything, just let us know!”

“Thank you, fourth uncle and fourth aunt!” Xiao Lingyu thanked them before continuing, “Mom, Dad, I should be able to drive the car back tomorrow. My friend at the car dealership is handling all the documents. I can drive the car away once I get my license.”

Mother Xiao was still worried, “Yu ‘Er, do you really know how to drive?”

“Mom,” Xiao Lingyu said, “Don’t worry. I’ve driven before. As long as I drive slowly, I’ll be fine.”

“Then you have to make sure to go very slowly. The road of Taoyuan Village is full of potholes,” Mother Xiao reminded.

“Of course!” Xiao Lingyu nodded. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, “Mom, did we have two guests from two days ago? They said they were my friends?”

Mother Xiao smiled. “Not really. They came from the big city to find a place for their grandfather to recuperate. They were unfamiliar with the Taoyuan Village. It was 2 pm when they arrived. They were very hungry, and they were too embarrassed just to barge in and ask for food, so they said they were your friends.”

“Ah?” Xiao Lingyu widened her eyes in surprise. “Why would someone do that?”

‘These people care too much about face. If they were hungry, just say it, why lie about being her friend? Wait, something is still not wrong.’

“Mom, since they are not really my friend, how did they know my name?” Xiao Lingyu asked.

Mother Xiao laughed. “I had the same question, so I asked one of the young men and quickly exposed the lie. Then, the other young man got down from the car and explained the situation. He said they knew your name from their friend, and they were really the friend of your friend. Then, he confessed how hungry he was. I still found it hilarious that this serious, tall, and imposing young man was admitting to me how hungry he was. So I invited them into the house.”
