Chapter 493: Chapter 493: The Path to Wealth Chapter 493: Chapter 493: The Path to Wealth He was the War Prince of Moli Country, ranked above tens of thousands of people, had tasted all sorts of exotic fruits, but he had never tried watermelon before. Indeed, the taste was very unique.
Xuexue was happily eating the watermelon in her hand; it tasted just like the ones she had in the Capital in her previous life. Now, the worry that had been hanging in her heart finally settled down.
It seemed her road to riches was about to start.
In her past life, the luck of a merchant who had gotten rich off watermelons was about to fall on her, and at this thought, Xuexue was thrilled.
“My lady, you are truly amazing.”
Big Bull gently nudged her with his arm and whispered a compliment.
Xuexue’s face was beaming with joy. Succeeding in growing watermelons, she imagined silver coins clinking and flying towards her. She couldn’t help but feel happy; her beautiful, cherry-like lips just couldn’t stop smiling: “Hehe…! You also contributed; you were the one who turned the soil for the watermelon field.”
“Right, we are the best.” Big Bull lowered his head and took a bite of the watermelon, feeling sweet inside. Eating the watermelon he had planted himself indeed felt different.
“I too, I helped Mom pull weeds!” Chuner heard and chimed in to claim her credit.
Hearing this, Xuexue reached out and ruffled her hair: “Right, Chuner also contributed; our whole family is the best.”
“Mhm.” Chuner nodded vigorously, her face glowing with pride.
Chuner ate one piece of watermelon after another, vigorously, unable to stop until her little belly was round and full, and finally, regretfully, she put down the watermelon in her hand.
The puppy was a sensible child, stopping after just two pieces.
“Puppy, are you full?” Chuner, having forgotten her earlier displeasure, cheerily asked the puppy.
“I’m full, the watermelon is really delicious,” the puppy said with a smile.
A large watermelon weighing over ten pounds was still half left.
Madam Xie knew the puppy was a well-mannered child who wouldn’t dare to eat too much, so she picked up the remaining half of the watermelon and handed it to him: “Puppy, take this half back and let your parents try it.”
“This doesn’t seem right.” Taking and eating at someone else’s place made the puppy feel uneasy.
“It’s okay; if Mom tells you to take it, just take it. We still have another one at home! If you don’t believe me, look.” Chuner said, opening the basket on the table to show him.
“Chuner is right, we grew these watermelons ourselves, they aren’t worth much. You don’t need to be so tense,” Madam Xie liked the puppy, a sensible kid despite his young age.
“Alright! Thank you, Old Lady Xie.”
Only then did the puppy take the watermelon, bade them goodbye, and cheerfully carried the watermelon home. Having eaten something good at Chuner’s home, he couldn’t wait to share it with his parents.
“Mom, tomorrow I’m going with Big Bull to the town to discuss selling the watermelons with Shopkeeper Fan,” Xuexue spoke while clearing the watermelon rinds from the table, talking to Madam Xie, who was sitting nearby.
“Alright, go ahead; just be careful,”
Madam Xie nodded her head; their family had planted two acres of watermelons, all nearly ripe. They couldn’t afford any delays.
The next day
Xuexue and Big Bull didn’t have breakfast, freshened up, and then set off, planning to eat breakfast in the town.
Xiaohe Restaurant
Shopkeeper Fan was alone, sitting in a private room on the second floor, leisurely sipping wine and enjoying some small dishes.
“Shopkeeper, you started drinking so early in the morning; you should take care of your health,” Xiao Tong had been following Shopkeeper Fan for many years, not at all timid like ordinary clerks, daring to speak up for the shopkeeper’s well-being.
