Xu Ying hung up the phone and went to find Xu, asking him to keep an eye out while making the delivery.
She wanted to see which family her second uncle was actually delivering goods to.
While Xu Ying came back early, Second Brother Xu had not yet returned.
Mr. Qiu Ye took Second Brother Xu and practically visited all the relatives in the family.
Every place they went, Xu Ren Guo would introduce him with a proud face, “This is my daughter’s boyfriend; we’re expecting them to get married this fall, they got engaged after the New Year.”
“Brother-in-law, how come this kid looks kind of familiar to me?” Aunt Qiu Ye asked curiously.
Xu Ren Guo’s chin practically lifted to the sky, “Isn’t this the son of our village captain? Now he’s teaching at our commune.
Next year, he might even go teach in the county. Do you remember Captain Xu? It’s his daughter, Xu Ying, who’s now quite accomplished.”
The corners of Aunt Qiu Ye’s mouth twitched slightly. She definitely knew about the Captain of Xujia Village; back when her sister married Mr. Qiu Ye, she wasn’t married yet and often stayed in Xujia Village.
She had heard plenty of interesting stories about Xujia Village, naturally including those about Captain Xu.
Despite having a bunch of sons, he spoiled only the daughter. Preferring sons to daughters wasn’t encouraged, but seeing someone who preferred daughters to sons, she had never witnessed such a thing in her whole life.
She remembered that girl from her childhood, spoiled rotten like a precious treasure, no good at anything, wasting nothing she ate, and not knowing the first thing about manners. At home, she bullied her sisters-in-law and outside, she bullied the villagers.
Every time she mentioned the girl, she couldn’t hide her disdain.
“How has she become so successful?” Aunt Qiu Ye asked.
Mr. Qiu Ye looked disgusted, “Look at you, knowing nothing. This thing has made a name for itself all over Yu County, how do you still not know about it?”
“What’s become famous?” Aunt Qiu Ye was utterly bewildered.
“Xu Ying, she managed to secure two large orders for our food factory and textile factory—from foreigners, no less, worth several millions,” said Mr. Qiu Ye with pride, as if he himself had secured the deals.
“Our textile factory has been so busy this year, but everyone’s happy despite being busy, and the wages have risen substantially too.” Though he was an accountant and did no manufacturing work, he had been quite busy with financial matters lately.
Plus, with the textile factory’s good performance this year, the factory manager had granted everyone a year-end bonus.
He had received a substantial year-end bonus himself, all thanks to Yingying, that girl.
Now Mr. Qiu Ye found his son-in-law more and more satisfactory.
Xu Shengcai was almost scared to death by his transformation. Though it was because of his little sister’s change, he still felt that Mr. Qiu Ye had turned into a different person, a bit unsettling.
Aunt Qiu Ye naturally had heard about the deal, but she didn’t expect it was that girl who had secured it. Since when did that girl become so capable? With doubt written all over her face, she said, “Brother-in-law, you’re not pulling my leg, are you?”
“What’s there to lie about!” Mr. Qiu Ye exclaimed, irritated.
He couldn’t believe she was questioning him.
“Uncle, are you talking about this girl!” Aunt Qiu Ye’s young son came over holding a newspaper, on which were bold letters: Textile Factory Hygiene and Food Factory Safety—Masks and Hats.
Below was a photo of Xu Ying, dressed in a mask and a hat, standing on a train.
Upon hearing his nephew’s words, Mr. Qiu Ye immediately ran over, took the newspaper, and recognized at a glance the person in the photo was Xu Ying.
He beamed with joy, “Look, this is Shengcai’s sister. Who would have thought she’d make it into the newspaper.”
“Oh my, this mask and hat are made by our factory employees, specifically for food safety issues.
All the workers in the food factory are now using the masks and hats we produce, and they were even designed by that girl. Can you believe how smart she is?”

Mr. Qiu Ye instantly became an avid fan of Xu Ying, filled with admiration for her in his heart.
Xu Qiuye was also shocked, never expecting that little girl to become so formidable.
Feeling everyone’s gaze upon him, Xu Shengcai for the first time understood why his mother bragged about his little sister every day—his face was truly glowing with pride.
He sat up straight, his back erect with pride, waving his hand nonchalantly, “This is nothing. My little sister is not only good at cooking and pretty but she also speaks foreign languages and her design skills are out of this world. In short, there’s nothing she can’t do.”
The others, upon hearing this, curled the corners of their mouths. If he hadn’t said this was nothing, it would be fine, but to say so many good things and then claim it’s nothing, that’s just blatant boasting.
“It’s really an eye-opener, how impressive that girl has become after being away for a while,” Aunt Qiu Ye said with envy.
So it went that Mr. Qiu Ye, along with Xu Shengcai, spent an entire day visiting relatives, even bringing along newspapers. Xu Shengcai was especially cooperative, his smile never fading the whole trip.
Having such an awesome sister is just too cool; he felt as light as a feather and as if he could grow wings and fly to tell the entire county that she is his sister.
Upon returning home, Xu Shengcai looked at Xu Ying with stars in his eyes, “Little sister, just tell your brother if you need anything, I’ll help you.”
Xu Ying found him to be rather odd, “Second Brother, are you okay? Are you okay?”
Second Brother Xu chuckled, “What could be wrong with me? I’m perfectly fine. It’s just that you work too hard, little sis. If you have any work to do, just tell your Second Brother.”
It was his honor to do things for his little sister.
Seeing his sincere expression, Xu Ying nodded her head. Thinking of the exams in spring, she asked, “Second Brother, after the New Year, aren’t you taking the exam? Are you confident about getting a teaching job in the county?”
The moment Second Brother Xu heard this, he felt as if his head would burst; he lost all appetite and ran back to his room to bury himself in his studies.
After dinner, Xu Ying went back to her room to sleep. Visiting relatives was too boring, just sitting and listening to adults talk while she daydreamed.
The next morning, Xu Ying was awakened early by laughter from the courtyard. Recognizing the familiar voices, she quickly got dressed and jumped out of bed.
Stepping outside, she saw Mother Zhao and Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Zhao’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Xu Ying, exclaiming with a laugh, “Yingying, this girl has become more beautiful.”
Although she knew it was just a polite remark, Xu Ying loved being called beautiful. She replied bashfully to Mr. Zhao and Mother Zhao, “Uncle, Auntie, Happy New Year.”
“Ah, Happy New Year.” Mother Zhao’s face bloomed with joy, especially upon seeing the Xu family’s large house and their daughter’s well-fed appearance, she could tell her daughter was living a good life.
“Grandma, Grandpa.” Shitou and Hu Zi were overjoyed upon seeing the two, throwing themselves at them in excitement.
Mrs. Xu was a bit surprised to see them.
Worried about a misunderstanding, Mother Zhao explained, “It’s really hard to get tickets during the New Year, either they’re too early or in the afternoon.
So we bought an early one and now it’s already dark in the afternoon.”
Mrs. Xu also didn’t want to be stingy, “You must not have had breakfast, relatives. You’ve arrived just in time, we were about to start eating.
Come and sit down, let’s eat first and then talk.” In the past, when life was harder, she might have been more frugal, but now that they were no longer worried about food, why would she need to care about these things?
She smiled as she looked over at Mother Zhao and the others.
