Chapter 310: Chapter 300 Agreement

Lu Yun was just about to say, "Even if you’re unwilling to leave, cooperation is still possible, or you could sell the recipe."

Although the Mi Family’s recipe was no secret to her anymore, she didn’t want to use it directly.

If everyone could cooperate, then cooperate; it would also be an opportunity for the Mi Family, and what she valued more was indeed the Mi Family themselves. If cooperation wasn’t possible, she would buy the recipe if it was for sale.

But if the Mi Family was not willing to sell the recipe, that was okay too; truth be told, she didn’t absolutely need that recipe. Everything in the world was interconnected, and if feeding ducks herbal medicine from a young age could improve their nutritional value and taste, the same could be done with other livestock.

With her current understanding of the properties of herbs, wouldn’t it be easy to come up with herbal rabbits, herbal chickens, and so on?

Even if it was still ducks, creating a duck with a completely different flavor from the Mi Family’s ducks wouldn’t be too difficult.

With this in mind, she saw Shitou’s hesitation and naturally was not in a rush. Imposing difficulty on others was not her desire; collaboration was about mutual consent. But while she was not in a hurry, someone else was anxious.

"Old man, with such a good opportunity, what more is there to think about? Let’s go to Capital City; this time you’ll have to listen to me,"

Mi Dahu’s mother became eager the moment she heard Lu Yun’s words. Seeing her own husband still appearing hesitant, she couldn’t help feeling extremely anxious, and tears began to fall.

"When Erhu came back and said that he was pushed into the water by Dahu, you were willing to believe that white-eyed wolf over your own son. Luckily, Erhu became vigilant on his own, and with my close watch, they didn’t succeed in harming our son again."

As Mi Dahu’s mother dwelled on it, she became even more upset. "You’ve also heard what Mi Kang said today; he’s relentless and already setting his sights on our grandchildren. Haven’t you seen enough of how cruel they are? How can our whole family live here in peace? Do you have to wait until every single one of us has risked our lives to figure it out?"

"That’s not what I meant."

Old Mi choked up and quickly explained, "I’m just somewhat reluctant to leave this place, after all, we’ve lived here for so many years..."

"..."

Mi Dahu’s mother fell silent for a moment, and then the tears fell once again. She reached out to wipe them away, "This place isn’t our true homeland; we merely fled here with our parents in times of distress. The clan members who came with us were few, and those who are related are distant. What is there to be reluctant about?"

"For all those years we were childless, how many people in the village mocked us. Although we later adopted Mi Dahu, people stopped laughing outwardly, but did the behind-the-scenes mockery ever decrease? Don’t forget, although Dahu’s biological parents are gone, he still has two uncles, and we never stopped them from interacting. He has been aware of his origins since he was a child."

"We didn’t think much of it before, only hoping that our true care for him would be reciprocated with his filial piety. But look at the result, how he luxuriated in our home since childhood, and how did it turn out?"

Mi Dahu’s mother was genuinely heartbroken, and became disappointed with their current place of residence as well, "There are indeed some of our former clan here, but the relations have grown distant long ago. It’s better not to mention those people; we haven’t treated them poorly in ordinary times, but when push came to shove, even Mi Dahu acknowledged... they still sided with their kin, less considerate than the unrelated old village party secretary."

"Don’t cry anymore, I’ll listen to you,"

Old Mi closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and finally made up his mind. Even if it was for his own son and future grandchildren, he had to leave this place and get away from Mi Dahu’s family of heartless creatures.

The company commander’s wife was right; who knows what those conscienceless beings could do one day.

Ah, if only they hadn’t cared too much about others’ opinions back then, and hadn’t adopted Mi Dahu.

Old Mi felt an immense regret.

He turned to Shitou and Lu Yun, forcing a smile that looked uglier than crying, "I agree."

"..."

Now it was Lu Yun’s turn to be at a loss for words; they agreed without even discussing the terms? What happened to starting high in negotiations and settling later?

She cautiously inquired, "You don’t have any conditions? You don’t ask if our collaboration requires you to bring out your duck-raising formula?"

"Since we are talking about cooperation, naturally, I need to bring out my duck-raising formula," said Old Mi, matter-of-factly. "As for the terms of the cooperation, since it will be with your parents, the details will be discussed with them later. But I see that with a kind-hearted daughter like you, they couldn’t be much different. Don’t worry, we won’t be greedy, and we’re sure to reach an agreement."

Lu Yun and Shitou exchanged glances, and through a communicated whisper, "It’s exactly because of their nature, seeing everyone as a good person and assuming the best of people, that they were eaten up by the wicked."

"And isn’t that exactly why you value them? Because they don’t resort to tricks and are straightforward? I think it’s great; such people are stubbornly principled and have a moral baseline, which means they are not easily betrayed when it really matters," Shitou responded to Lu Yun.

"Let’s go, then. We’ll head to the bank first," Lu Yun smiled at Old Mi, "Bring your passbook and ID card, it’d be better to open a new account when we get there, right?"

"Uh, uh, the price is really too high..." Old Mi blushed with a red face, "Half would be enough."

"It’s not too high. If you are going to move to Capital City, I would suggest you buy a condominium there as soon as you arrive; the bigger, the better. Even if you can’t afford it all at once, you should get it even if you have to borrow from the bank."

"As property prices in Capital City will only get higher in the future. By the way, my parents are also in the real estate business. When the time comes, I’ll talk to them, and you can pick out a place at my family’s real estate company, enjoying an internal discount price."

"Ah... your family’s doing big business, even selling houses, are they big bosses? I thought your parents ran a food shop too," Old Mi was completely stunned, and Mi Dahu’s mother, Erhu, and Wu Jia all looked at Lu Yun in amazement.

They felt intimidated at the thought of "collaborating" with a big boss.

"We just serve simple country food, would your parents even consider it good enough?" Old Mi, who was rather confident at first, suddenly lost his courage.

"My parents also own a food shop, and these ducks can definitely carry the weight of signature dishes and specialty items. Don’t worry; if I’m impressed with it, my parents will surely appreciate it too," said Lu Yun with a faint chuckle.

Old Mi nodded, Mi Dahu’s mother turned back into the house to fetch their ID cards and passbooks, and they all went to the nearby postal savings office, where Lu Yun deposited the money directly into their passbook.
