The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

125  Chapter 125: Vegetable Greenhouse_1

Lindsey Wolfe looked at everyone's expressions and chuckled at herself before standing up and returning to her room.

"Did we say something wrong?"

"Freya is such a straightforward person, she wouldn't hold a grudge against us, right?"

Seeing what happened, Greg Jensen quickly stood up, smiled, and said, "It's okay, my aunt might just be tired. You all keep eating, I'll go check on her."

"Right, right, go and cheer her up."

"Mhm."

Greg smiled and turned to walk into Lindsey Wolfe's room while the outside regained its previous liveliness.

Sitting on the bed, Lindsey Wolfe heard Greg coming in but did not look up, lost in thought.

Greg sat down on the stool next to her, opened his mouth, but then didn't know what to say to comfort her.

After hesitating for a long time, he started, "Auntie, how is the vegetable field doing? I heard that CEO Abbott said our family's fields have been quite profitable?"

Hearing his words, Lindsey Wolfe finally raised her head, although her face looked less than pleased.

She said coldly, "Don't worry, I'll talk to CEO Abbott tomorrow and let you continue the collaboration with her. I won't interfere anymore.

From now on, you can take care of the vegetable field and the store by yourself."

"Uh…"

Grimacing with a bitter smile, Greg helplessly said, "Auntie, you're thinking too far. I didn't bring this up to take the vegetable field back.

I wanted to discuss with you whether we should start another field."

"Start another field?" Lindsey Wolfe was suddenly stunned.

The current vegetable field was already not small, and the income was quite good; in her opinion, there was no need for another one.

Greg smiled and said, "We're earning a lot now, but what about the future? It's already September. In a few months, when the weather gets cold, will we have any vegetables to sell?"

"This…"

Hearing his words, Lindsey Wolfe too began to hesitate.

Greg was right, after the fall season, the current vegetable field would basically have no yield. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If they wanted to keep making money, they had to think of other options.

"Are you thinking of building a vegetable greenhouse?" Lindsey Wolfe asked.

With a smile, Greg nodded and said, "Exactly, my aunt is so sharp, you guessed it right."

Lindsey Wolfe blushed slightly at the compliment, yet she felt very pleased inside.

Greg continued, "We could lease another piece of land, get the greenhouse set up on that new land first, and start harvesting. Once that's underway, we can set up greenhouses on our current land as well."

"How much is that going to cost?"

Lindsey Wolfe was astounded by Greg's plan.

The land they currently leased was already a hundred acres, and taking on another piece of land would also require at least fifty to sixty acres.

Covering all that land with greenhouses would cost a horrifying amount.

"Building a greenhouse over one acre of land would require…"

Watching Lindsey Wolfe count on her fingers, estimating costs, Greg couldn't help grinning and said with a smile, "I've already discussed this with CEO Abbott.

She'll start a vegetable company, take the larger share, and we won't have to invest as much."

Lindsey Wolfe asked with a face full of surprise, "Really? CEO Abbott agreed?"

Smiling, Greg nodded and said, "Yes, after I recovered from my illness, CEO Abbott talked to me about the situation at home. Without her, I wouldn't have thought of setting up a vegetable greenhouse."

"That's true, our vegetable base was a collaboration with CEO Abbott from the start. We can't do the greenhouses without her."

The more Lindsey Wolfe thought about it, the more she felt that Lois Abbott was her benefactor, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "CEO Abbott is really a good woman."

"Er, indeed."

"In the past three to four months, I've made almost two hundred thousand. I spent about seventy to eighty thousand building the house, so I still have over a hundred thousand left. I'll invest all that money when the time comes."

Hearing this, Greg was secretly amazed; Lindsey Wolfe had really earned quite a bit lately.

With Greg's distraction, Lindsey Wolfe also forgot about the earlier incident, and her mood improved significantly.

That face, now wearing a smile, became even more tender and attractive.

Lindsey Wolfe's face turned red, and she scolded, "Fool, what are you looking at!"

"Uh, nothing."

Greg Jensen turned his head back hastily, stammering, "That... I'll go out first, come out and eat later, okay?"

Lindsey Wolfe said softly, "Hmm, I'll be right there."

Greg Jensen returned to the dining table and announced to everyone that he planned to contract another piece of land, which immediately drew cheers from the crowd.

With the expansion of the vegetable base, there would be a need for more workers, and everyone could make a fair amount of money along with it.

Moreover, given Greg Jensen's character, if he really became successful in the future, he would definitely not forget about them.

At that moment, Second Elder expressed some concern, "It's good that the vegetable base is expanding, but... won't Liu Lao San cause any trouble?"

Greg Jensen smiled and said, "There shouldn't be any problems, I'll go there myself tomorrow."

"Hmm, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Haha, I can manage by myself."

Second Elder cast a reproachful glance at Greg Jensen and said, "You think I'm worried about you getting cheated?"

"Uh, isn't that the case?"

"I'm worried you'll impulsively hurt Liu Lao San."

Hearing this, Greg Jensen laughed awkwardly, "Don't worry, Second Elder, I won't do that."

"Believe you? I don't think so."

"Haha, silly Greg isn't silly anymore, he won't be so impulsive now."

"Yeah..."

Second Elder said speechlessly, "Yeah nothing, he was a mischievous troublemaker as a kid."

"Haha."

Hearing this, everyone burst into good-natured laughter, starting to recount Greg Jensen's amusing antics as a child.

Greg Jensen felt so embarrassed that he felt he was one step closer to complete social death.

Esther Jensen tilted her head back, staring at Greg Jensen, and asked, "Silly Greg, are you really not silly anymore?"

16:22

Greg Jensen smiled and rubbed her little cheek.

Esther Jensen nodded seriously and said, "Okay then, from now on I'll just call you 'brother', I won't call you silly Greg."

"Haha, good..."

Everyone chatted and laughed until after nine o'clock, then they helped to clean up before heading home.

Greg Jensen went back to his room, and after making sure Lindsey Wolfe and the others were asleep, he went to the vegetable and herb fields.

After checking the Formation that he had set up and seeing that there were no issues, he headed toward Peach Blossom Mountain.

After coming clean to his aunt, things had indeed become much easier for him, but he also lost the excuse to frequently venture into Peach Blossom Mountain.

In the past, he could still feign ignorance and playfulness; if he continued doing so now, he would definitely raise suspicions.

Greg Jensen practiced the Guidance Technique in the Cold Pond for several circulations of his energy, then went to check the cave above.

After hesitating for a while, he decided that he would prepare properly before coming back to explore what exactly was beneath the cave.

He had a feeling that the cave was hiding some secret.

After returning home, Greg Jensen slept in lazily until after nine the next morning, still asleep.

Second Elder, growing impatient, knocked for quite a while before he managed to wake him up.

Greg Jensen said with a wry smile, "Second Elder, this early in the morning..."

"Early? It's already past nine."

Second Elder complained, "You were better off sick; back then, you were much more diligent than now."

"Haha, my bad, I'll definitely get up early tomorrow."

"Alright, let's go, the sooner we get this done, the better."

Second Elder shook his head and led the way to the village committee.

Greg Jensen gave a bitter smile and quickly followed behind.
