Chapter 152: Coming Together

Hua Zhi's eyes flickered as she observed the expressions of the others, anticipating that such situations would arise in the future.

But so what?

As the old saying goes, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem, and for her, it was no different.

Wu Shi cleared her throat lightly and brought the conversation back, "I wonder, what kind of business does Zhi'er intend to pursue?"

Hua Zhi exchanged a glance with Wu Shi, "I learned a method of cultivating mushrooms from a book. If done well, they can be produced all year round."

The group looked puzzled, and Wu Shi asked, "Are you talking about the mushrooms we eat? Aren't they usually picked from the mountains? Can they be grown at home?"

"The ones we usually eat are one type, but as long as we can find other types of mushrooms, they can be grown as well."

Hua Zhi spoke confidently because the past life of the previous generation of the Hua family had made their fortune this way. Though she hadn't personally been involved, she had followed her father closely in her youth and had seen the workers go through every step clearly.

Growing mushrooms was her initial way of making a living, but the timing last year wasn't right. She needed quick money, which is why she had postponed it to the following year.

Thinking of her father in the past life, silent but gentle, Hua Zhi lowered her gaze. Good people never lived long. He had done so much good but still passed away early. Those who had reaped the benefits without lifting a finger still remained greedy. They needed her life to pay for their karma.

She didn't want to be as shameless as them, nor did she ever want to be like her father. It wasn't worth it.

"Eldest, can this really be done?"

Hua Zhi snapped back to attention and nodded gently, "It can be done."

The fourth paternal grandaunt hurriedly asked, "What do we need to do?"

"Each family should send ten household servants, they need to be reliable. You can decide on the specifics of their selection yourselves."

"We understand this matter. You can rest assured, we will choose the best for you."

Hua Zhi smiled and intervened, "We don't need those handling minor tasks. They're too important for that. They will be useful in the future when needed."

The fourth paternal grandaunt nodded in agreement, "Alright, we'll listen to you."

"Steward Xu."

Steward Xu Dong bowed deeply, "Yes, Eldest Miss."

"I'll leave this group to you. Treat them like how you trained our own servants before. Let Xu Jie assist you."

"Yes."

The three paternal grandaunts had doubts in their hearts, but in the past few months, the eldest granddaughter had shown remarkable success in making money. They had blind trust in her, and since their families didn't have to invest a single penny in this, only needing to provide ten servants each, there was no risk on their part. If they profited, they would share in it too. It seemed like a good deal no matter how they looked at it, and only fools would go against the eldest daughter.

"Let's get the unpleasantness out of the way." Hua Zhi's gaze swept over the three aunts and uncles, "All decisions regarding this matter will be made by me. I hope no one will try to use seniority to suppress me when the time comes."
