 Chapter 34: Dealing with the Big Shot Tonight

After examining everything, Xiao Wei frowned, saying, "None of them have black spots. Are they all rooster eggs?" Bai Lu nodded, "Theoretically, that's correct." "Can't any of them hatch into chicks?" Xiao Wei looked unhappy and somewhat skeptical. Although Bai Lu's morning explanation sounded like a teacher on the podium with convincing ability, Xiao Wei wasn't entirely convinced. *Knock, knock, knock.* Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Bai Lu instructed Xiao Wei to review a few more times, especially checking for less obvious black spots, before going to the front yard to open the door. Aunt Wu, carrying a basket of fresh fruits, greeted them with a smile, "Have you had your meal? I picked some fresh fruits; take them home and try." Bai Lu wasn't surprised at Aunt Wu's visit, given the morning incident with the police spreading through the streets. "Aunt Wu, you're too polite. Come in and have a seat. I stir-fried some chestnuts a couple of days ago; have a taste." Bai Lu extended hospitality. After some polite exchanges, they all gathered in the main room, and Bai Lu served hot water that had been boiled after lunch. Aunt Wu took a sip, and as she looked at Bai Lu, her expression showed increasing satisfaction. It was a pity Bai Lu wasn't her daughter-in-law. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also gentle, good-tempered, and considerate. How could such a good girl be taken away by Xiao Cheng? Aunt Wu held the enamel cup in her hands, and her gaze toward Bai Lu became more approving. "Is your husband okay?" She had heard about the police searching their house in the morning from the old man Li at the sugar water store. So, she came over to check. Bai Lu calmly explained the situation, emphasizing it was a misunderstanding that had been cleared up. The police had received a false report, and after finding nothing, they left. Only later did they confront Liu Tiezhu, who had made the mistake. After the explanation, Aunt Wu's suspicions were put to rest. "It's good that everything is fine. Everyone outside is talking about it, and the stories vary. I had no idea what was going on. I thought Xiao Cheng was helping build my house; how could he get involved in such matters? It turns out it was a mistake. I've always thought Xiao Cheng might not speak much, but he does things reliably." With the misunderstanding cleared, everyone felt more at ease. Bai Lu relaxed, knowing that being able to build houses for neighbors would improve Xiao Cheng's image in the community. Because, over time, words would fade away, but a standing house, like a milestone, would remain rooted in people's minds. "Is this chestnut?" Aunt Wu picked up a golden, shiny, and fragrant chestnut with an amazed expression. She intended to leave after the business discussion, but Bai Lu remembered her suggestion to try the freshly stir-fried chestnuts. "I thought Xiao Cheng's actions might be related to our house construction. How could something like this happen? It's indeed a misunderstanding. He's been busy building a house for us. I hope this incident won't affect the construction progress," Aunt Wu explained. Aunt Wu sincerely liked Bai Lu's character and naturally didn't hide her thoughts. She said, "I've been selling fruits with my husband for over ten years, and I've never seen this kind of chestnut stir-fry in our town or even in the city. If you sell this on the street, it will surely attract attention." Bai Lu liked dealing with smart people. "I just added some sugar to stir-fry; maybe it suits your taste. Can it really make money on the street?" "Of course! In the countryside, there are plenty of chestnut trees, but the traditional ways of preparing them are old-fashioned, and people are tired of them. Your method of adding sugar while stir-frying is fresh and unheard of. If you sell it on the street, business will definitely be good. It won't be copied by others in just two or three days," Wu Shen Yun assured. Aunt Wu's discernment pleased Bai Lu. If there were any opportunities for cooperation, she hoped Aunt Wu would consider her first. Bai Lu was eager to make money, but the big shot wouldn't allow it. Tonight, she had to come up with a plan to deal with him. After settling matters and seeing Aunt Wu off, Bai Lu returned and found Xiao Wei had waited to speak. "I took pictures of the eggs many times, but there are no black spots. Are they all rooster eggs that can't hatch into chicks?"
