Chapter 233: Your Sister is pregnant?
Translator: Lonelytree
Yan Ruyu drove a beautiful red car. She finally reached her destination, Taoyuan Village.
She took in the flat cement road and the flourishing peach trees on both sides of the road. The environment was very quiet and elegant.
“I didn’t expect the environment here to be so good,” Yan Ruyu praised, “It’s quiet and elegant, the air is fresh, and it’s very comfortable. It’s not like the big cities, where it is very noisy, and the air is filled with gasoline smell. No wonder they can grow such delicious strawberries.”
As Yan Ruyu arrived at the village, a low-key luxury car sped down the road between Xing An Town and Taoyuan Village.
Yan Siming was slightly surprised to see this spacious concrete road.
The last time he came to Taoyuan Village, this road was full of potholes and was especially difficult to navigate. Things had changed. No wonder the strawberries could be transported to and sold in City Z.
He had tried the strawberries. They were a type of strawberry that was completely different from the others.
It made him think of Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu was a heartless woman. He had helped her a few times, but she avoided him like a snake or a scorpion. She was afraid that he would take advantage of her and demand that she marry him. It made him laugh and feel a little helpless.
Yan Siming was indeed interested in her, but he would only get together with women who were interested in him too. He would not force women who were unwilling.
Of course, no one had been able to reject Yan Siming before. There were a few women who rejected him at first. But once they found out his identity, they immediately changed their mind. Some of them rejected him because they were trying to play hard to get. They acted like chaste women and refused to have even the smallest interaction with him. However, once he changed target, they abandoned all pretexts and came back to beg him. He hated such women.
Therefore, his journey with Xiao Lingyu was so complicated. He thought Xiao Lingyu was playing hard to get at first. She even escaped from the hospital because she wanted him to come to find her. She knew that with his power, he could easily find out her home address and identity.
As annoyed as Yan Siming was, he was also intrigued. No woman had ever escaped from the hospital just to play hard to get with him before.
However, during their second meeting, Xiao Lingyu wanted to escape the moment they met. In fact, she even pretended not to know him.
Yan Siming noticed on the second meeting that Xiao Lingyu had become more beautiful. Even without makeup, her skin was fair, and her cheeks were rosy. At that moment, he felt his heart beat. He had never had that feeling before. However, he didn’t have the chance to mull on that moment because tragedy had struck Xiao Lingyu’s family.
To make matters more interesting, his appearance alarmed not only Xiao Lingyu but also her parents. Even though they were injured and were thankful of his help, they were still wary of him. He really didn’t know how to feel. He was really too conceited to think Xiao Lingyu was playing hard to get with him.
Xiao Lingyu didn’t ask him for help but he volunteered his help. Xiao Lingyu’s parents appreciated his help, but they still kept him at arm’s length. He didn’t know what to say.
Over the past few months, he had been trying to avoid processing that strange feeling in his heart. He couldn’t convince himself that the playboy would one day be moved by a woman.
Therefore, after he left Xing Yin County, he numbed his heart by throwing himself into the arms of different women. However, his heart remained hollow.
A desire emerged in the depths of his heart, but he couldn’t tell what he desired… Until he saw the strawberries that Yan Ruyu sent to him.
There was a label on the strawberry box. The name on the label was, Taoyuan Village!
It struck the depths of his mind. The things that he had been deliberately avoiding filled up his mind. He finally understood why his heart was empty and what he was yearning for. He wanted to settle down. He wanted to have a family.
Since his decision was made, he couldn’t escape anymore. It would only make him appear weak.
Thinking of this, Yan Siming’s rosy lips curled, and he said with a low smile, “Xiao Lingyu, I’m here again.” This time, he would treat her sincerely.
At this moment, his phone rang.
“Brother, where are you now?” Yan Ruyu’s voice came from the phone.
“I’m on the way to Taoyuan Village.”
“Can I enter the village first?” Yan Ruyu probed carefully.
She really didn’t want to stay with her eldest cousin. The pressure was too high. He had an imposing aura. Her eldest cousin was also devilishly beautiful. It made her beauty pale in comparison. No woman wanted the man beside her to be more beautiful than herself. Therefore, she avoided him as much as she could.
“No. Wait for me.” Yan Siming didn’t care about his cousin’s thought. He replied in a faint but oppressive voice.
“Oh!” Yan Ruyu answered in disappointment.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Ruyu’s car stopped at the entrance of the village. Then, she got out of the car and took off her sunglasses to look around.
She was surprised when she saw the other cars parked in the open space and the vehicles that drove by from time to time.
Yan Ruyu frowned and said, “There are so many people here. I wonder how big is the farm. I need to order more strawberries when I have the chance.” Earlier, after she tasted the sample, she placed an order for 100 catties on the spot.
Before the strawberries arrived, she heard her father say that a big supermarket had opened in City Z recently. The supermarket had stolen most of their customers. It had affected the company business greatly.
Yan Yihai was considering how to rectify this when Yan Ruyu had a flash of inspiration. She believed the strawberries would save the company.
The next day, after the strawberries arrived, she immediately brought them to the board meeting. She gave them to her father and the directors to try.
She took out 50 catties and put them in the supermarket for a trial sale. Yan Ruyu suggested that they be sold for 15 RMB each.
Once this strawberry was placed on the shelf, the fragrance of the strawberry attracted many customers to stop.
However, when some people saw the price, they hesitated. After all, 15 RMB each was a very high asking price.
Of course, there were wealthy people in the big city. They pursued enjoyment. They were often young and impulsive with their purchases. Their families were rich, and they often had pricey imported fruits. 15 RMB strawberry was not that expensive. They decided to buy the strawberry and give it a try.
The taste was amazing. They were immediately addicted.
“These strawberries are so delicious. No wonder they cost 15 RMB each.”
Then, they immediately came back to get more. Soon, the 50 catties of strawberries were sold out. The customers asked for more.
Seeing this situation, Yan Yihai decisively had Yan Ruyu order another 1,000 catties of strawberries.
He wanted to order more, but taking into account the shelflife of the strawberries and the market demand, he only ordered 1,000 catties.
The wholesale price of 60 RMB per catty was still quite expensive, but they could sell it at a higher retail price. There were around 20 strawberries per catty. On average, one strawberry cost around 3 RMB. Their retail price was 15 RMB each. That was 5 times the profit!
Out of curiosity, Yan Ruyu decided to pay Taoyuan Village a visit. Once she was here, she was shocked. Many people had come to Taoyuan Village.
She heard from the leader of Berry Lover that the boss had planted six Mu of strawberries. The harvest was around 30,000 to 40,000 catties, and they were currently being sold.
“1000 catties is not enough. We have to order more. Otherwise, we will miss out on the strawberries.” Yan Ruyu called her father. When Yan Yihai heard his daughter’s report, he asked her to order another 2,000 catties. They could put the extra strawberries into cold storage for preservation.
Yan Ruyu hung up the phone, let out a breath, and leaned against the car.
At this time, a child came to her and asked, “Pretty sister, are you here to pick strawberries?”
Yan Ruyu saw this ten-year-old boy. His face was round, and his skin was a little dark, but his eyes were shining.
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, “I am indeed here to pick strawberries, but I am still waiting for someone. Little Friend, are you from Taoyuan Village?”
Xiao Xiaohui nodded and said, “Yes, I am from Taoyuan Village. I am here to lead the way for the guests.”
“Lead the way?” Yan Ruyu was slightly puzzled.
“Yes. If there are guests who can’t find the strawberry field, we’ll be responsible for bringing the guests there,” Xiao Xiaohui explained.
Yan Ruyu said with a laugh, “Aren’t you afraid of being kidnapped?”
Xiao Xiaohui shook his head and said, “No. There are people everywhere. Besides, we have installed surveillance cameras here.” Xiao Xiaohui pointed at the telephone pole where a camera was posted.
Yan Ruyu looked at it and smiled again. Indeed, there were a lot of strangers, so they definitely had to take some precautions, especially since there were children around.
Xiao Xiaohui asked, “Pretty sister, how long do you have to wait for?”
Yan Ruyu shook her head. “I don’t know either.”
Just as she said that, a black car came over.
Of course, Yan Ruyu knew her cousin’s car.
Her expression immediately tensed up, and she looked serious as she said, “He’s here.”
The black car stopped behind the red car. Then, he got off.
Xiao Xiaohui’s eyes lit up when he saw this. He took a few steps forward, raised his head, and immediately shouted, “Pretty uncle, it’s you! Are you also here to pick strawberries?”
Pretty uncle?
Yan Ruyu almost knelt when she heard that.
She knew that her cousin hated people call him pretty. These people had always been punished.
At the thought of this, Yan Ruyu immediately shielded Xiao Xiaohui behind her and said with a stiff smile, “Brother, this child didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t be angry.”
Then, she turned to Xiao Xiaohui and said, “Little friend, you can’t call a man pretty. They are handsome, do you understand?”
Xiao Xiaohui frowned and said with some doubt, “But pretty sister, I’ve always called him pretty uncle.”
“Huh?” Yan Ruyu was dumbfounded. ‘This kid knows eldest cousin?’
Yan Siming took off his sunglasses and looked at Xiao Xiaohui. He said, “Xiao Xiaohui, it’s you.”
Yan Ruyu opened her mouth in surprise when she heard her eldest cousin greet the kid.
‘What is going on?’
When the Chen Family came to cause a ruckus and injured Xiao Lingyu’s parents, it was Yan Siming who helped them deal with it.
When Xiao Zhengyang was in the hospital, Xiao Xiaohui went to visit his second uncle. It was there that he met Yan Siming.
When he saw Yan Siming, he thought that he was really pretty and blurted out, “Pretty uncle!”
When Yan Siming heard that, he only frowned slightly and did not correct him. He did not stay in the hospital for long.
Xiao Xiaohui walked out from behind Yan Ruyu and said with a smile, “Pretty uncle, why are you here? Are you here to pick strawberries? Or are you here to look for my sister?”
‘Look for his sister?’ This information shocked Yan Ruyu.
She knew that her cousin was a womanizer. As long as he took a fancy to a woman, she would not be able to escape his grasp.
‘Did he come here not for the strawberries but for a woman? And she is the kid’s sister?’
Yan Siming said, “I’m here to visit uncle and auntie. I’m also here to pick strawberries.”
He didn’t directly say that he was looking for Xiao Lingyu. However, his words implied that he knew her family.
Yan Ruyu was a little confused.
Xiao Xiaohui nodded and said, “Pretty uncle…”
“Call me brother Yan!” Yan Siming corrected him.
“…” Xiao Xiaohui nodded and said, “Brother Yan, my second uncle and second aunt are at the strawberry field. My sister is at home. Let me take you to the strawberry field.”
“Take me to your sister!” Yan Siming suddenly said.
Yan Ruyu,”…” Didn’t you say you’re here to visit the kid’s uncle and aunt?
Xiao Xiaohui nodded and said, “Okay! My sister is pregnant. She seldom comes out.”
“What did you say? Your sister is pregnant?” Yan Siming suddenly asked. He grabbed Xiao Xiaohui’s small arm. They couldn’t help but tighten.
How could Xiao Xiaohui withstand the hand strength of an adult man like Yan Siming?
Xiao Xiaohui’s face turned pale instantly. There was some cold sweat on his forehead. He looked at Yan Siming with nervousness and fear.
Yan Ruyu immediately realized that something was wrong. She shouted, “Brother, you’re hurting him. Let go of him now.”
At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled and curious. What kind of woman could cause her eldest cousin, who was as immovable as a mountain, to lose his composure like this?
When Yan Siming heard Yan Ruyu, he immediately came back to his senses. When he saw Xiao Xiaohui’s pale face, he felt a little ashamed.
She grabbed Xiao Xiaohui’s arm and took a look. A few bruises were on the tiny arm. Xiao Xiaohui must be in a lot of pain.
Yan Ruyu was angry, and she grumbled, “Brother, he’s still a child. Do you have to use so much strength? Look, his arm is bruised and injured. How are you going to explain this to his parents?”
After saying that, Yan Ruyu saw that Xiao Xiaohui was about to cry and immediately coaxed, “Little friend, Don’t cry. Brother Yan is in a bad mood and accidentally hurt you. I’ll have him apologize to you, okay?”
Xiao Xiaohui’s face was pale from the pain, but he didn’t allow his tears to fall. He mustered his courage and said, “Brother Yan, you’re looking for my sister, right? I’ll lead the way!”
The Yan siblings, “….”
