Two hours later, the two left the room.

Lois Abbott was tidying up her clothes and muttering softly, “Greg, I’ve realized you’re really terrible, spending all this time on such things.”

Greg laughed and turned to ask, “Don’t you like it? You didn’t seem to dislike it just now when you were so loud.”

“I…I can’t be bothered with you.”

Lois shot him a glance, then suddenly thought of something and said to Greg:

“In a few days, Chestor Ware is going to come to our store to eat Dragon fish, and I’m a little nervous about it. Can you come over and help me keep an eye on things?”

Greg nodded and said, “Sure, just text me the time to my phone so I don’t forget.”

Seeing his eager agreement, Lois felt a warmth in her heart and stood on tiptoes to give him a peck on the face.

“For your reward!”

“Ha-ha, how about another kind of reward?”

Greg grinned mischievously and was about to pull Lois back, but she had already run off.

“Dream on, I’ve got things to do. I’m heading out first.”

Watching Lois’s retreating figure, Greg’s lips curled into a smile as he sighed, “Life is getting more and more promising.”

Just then, Lindsey Wolfe walked in, holding three or four cucumbers in her hand.

“Silly Greg, come here and give your aunt a taste. How are these cucumbers different from ours?”

“Uh…”

Greg was speechless inside. He had focused solely on watering his own vegetable garden last night and forgot about the other villagers he was cooperating with.

One used the Small Cloud Rain Skill and the others didn’t, surely their taste would be noticeably different.

Looking at the cucumbers Lindsey handed over, Greg accepted them with resignation and took a big bite, then foolishly grinned and said:

“Tasty…”

“You fool, you find everything tasty!”

Lindsey rolled her eyes at him, loaded up the vegetables into the vehicle, and rode to the store in Duo Phoenix Town.

She had decided. Since her cucumbers were tasty, she’d sell them at the normal price, and the ones from the other families would be slightly cheaper.

As expected, the cucumbers that had been treated with the Small Cloud Rain Skill were snapped up quickly, which also helped sell quite a few of the other vegetables.

That day, she made almost three hundred yuan.

Three hundred a day, that’s ten thousand a month.

Even though this included money for Uncle Er and the others, Lindsey stood to make at least three to four thousand for herself.

After deducting expenses such as rent and utilities, plus the income from Reverie Inn, the daily net profit was about four to five hundred yuan.

Over a month, that would come to at least over ten thousand.

More than ten thousand yuan, in the impoverished Twin Phoenix Town, was definitely considered a high income.

Lindsey’s smile couldn’t have been wider, she felt her luck had finally turned, and she even planned to visit the Earth Temple on the fifteenth to give thanks to the Immortal for the blessing.

What she didn’t realize, however, was that her success was entirely due to the hard work of her nephew in her eyes.

Ever since reaching the second level of Qi Refinement, Greg had taken on a new nightly task – using the Small Cloud Rain Skill to water the vegetable plots!

Just watering his own plot wasn’t enough; he had also taken to watering Uncle Er and the others’ plots.

After using the Small Cloud Rain Skill, the vegetables in Uncle Er and the others’ gardens became just as fresh and delicious.

In the beginning, Lindsey thought it was her own gardening skill that was top- notch and even shared her methods with Uncle Er and the rest without paying much attention afterward.

It wasn’t until Greg couldn’t stand it anymore and subtly hinted a few things to her that she noticed Uncle Er’s vegetables had started to become tasty too.

Overjoyed by the discovery, the turnover at the vegetable store jumped to three to four hundred a day.

Combined with the money from Reverie Inn, she had earned fifteen thousand in just a month.

On the night of the month-end settlement, Lindsey called everyone together to celebrate.

Uncle Er, Third Uncle, and others, including Widow Liu who had invested, all gathered in Greg’s yard.

Lindsey Wolfe bought quite a bit of cooked food in town, and some beer as well, setting up a full big table.

As everyone sat in the yard eating and chatting, Lindsey Wolfe had made fifteen thousand, while second uncle and third uncle, among others, each got over three thousand for themselves.

Second uncle and the rest only intended to lend Lindsey Wolfe a hand, never expecting to make so much money.

You have to understand, for farmers like them who face the soil and sky, earning five to six thousand a year is already reaching for the stars.

Here they were, making three thousand in just a month; wouldn’t that mean thirty or forty thousand in a year?

Second uncle exclaimed, “This time we really got lucky thanks to Lindsey.”

“Yeah, without Lindsey, where could we have earned so much.”

Lindsey Wolfe was also very pleased, lifting her glass and saying, “Uncle, don’t say that, if it weren’t for you guys, I couldn’t have started this business.

I toast to everyone, as a way to thank you all.”

“Lindsey, you’re too polite, we’re all family, making money together, there’s no need to thank or not thank,” someone said.

“Exactly, let’s all toast to Lindsey.”

Lindsey Wolfe and second uncle raised their glasses, drinking together, while Greg Jensen held up a drink and joined in with a gesture.

The small courtyard instantly became lively.

Widow Liu glanced at the drink in Greg Jensen’s hand and asked, “Why not get a beer for Greg?”

Lindsey Wolfe explained, “He’s not right in the head, best not let him drink alcohol.”

“Lindsey’s right, let Greg stick to his drink,” said second uncle.

They’re treating me like a child?

Greg Jensen smirked inwardly.

Widow Liu picked up a full glass and said, “Lindsey, I toast to you too. Our situations are pretty similar, but I don’t have your skills.”

“Don’t worry, even without a man, we can still make money and live a good life.”

Lindsey Wolfe picked up her glass again, “Come on, bottoms up!”

The two women downed another glass.

Second uncle cautioned, “You two should drink less, don’t overdo it.”

Widow Liu gave Greg Jensen a meaningful glance and chuckled, “It’s fine, if I drink too much, Greg can carry me home.”

“Right, Greg can carry you home later,” Lindsey Wolfe said with a laugh.

They say men can’t stop when they start drinking, but sometimes, women can be fierce drinkers too.

The two women wouldn’t admit defeat to each other and after a short while, they were both swaying drunkenly.

After the feast ended, Greg Jensen helped Lindsey Wolfe back to her room, while Widow Liu was taken home by second uncle and others.

But after he settled Lindsey Wolfe, Widow Liu was still in the courtyard, insisting on waiting for Greg to take her back; she wouldn’t agree to anyone else.

Greg had no choice but to support Widow Liu’s arm and walked her home.

By now the sky had gradually darkened, the warm evening breeze carrying the scent of soap, wafted into Greg’s nose.

That mature woman’s fragrance was like a feather constantly tickling his heart.

Greg Jensen gritted his teeth and helped Widow Liu onto the bed, then he fetched a wet towel to wipe her face.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Widow Liu start to undress.

Greg Jensen was stunned, and by the time he came to his senses, all he could see was a blur of white.

“Greg, do I look good?” Widow Liu asked with a smile, her eyes clear, not showing a hint of drunkenness.

Was this woman pretending to be drunk?

Greg Jensen was flabbergasted, thinking that the schemes of the city were deep, but the countryside’s were none too shallow!

Widow Liu went to the extent of feigning drunkenness just to offer herself to him?
