The Marshal's Wife is Wild-Chapter 81 - 80: Are You Free to Meet?

Far away on Abel Star, Si Yuting received a transfer of 5 million from his wife and a big box of gifts, looking very complex.

It seems the situation is getting worse.

Si Yuting looked at his subordinates who were eagerly watching him, and his forehead twitched almost imperceptibly.

Although Cheng Feng and the others knew that their sister-in-law had also prepared a portion for them, the recipient’s name was the boss’s.

Si Yuting picked up the two boxes marked for himself and left the remaining large box for the four men.

As soon as the boss left, Xiong Lie cheered and was the first to rush to unpack the box.

"Wow, such a big box, it must contain a lot of stuff, long live sister-in-law."

"Can you not do it? Never mind, I’ll join in."

Soon, Xiong Lie and Cheng Feng took out all the items from the box and laid them out on the table.

A watermelon, ten boxes of strawberries, five boxes of cherry tomatoes, fifteen kiwifruits, five apples.

"Wow! Sister-in-law is too good to us!"

"That must have cost a lot."

"Five portions, even Jiang Zhou has one, sister-in-law really is thoughtful."

"That’s thanks to me. I especially mentioned the number of people to sister-in-law."

"You finally did something reliable."

"When have I ever been unreliable? Look down on me, will you."

"Following the boss means meat on the table, following sister-in-law means Energy Plants to eat, oh yeah!"

"I declare, from now on, sister-in-law is my sister-in-law, Xiong Lie, replacing her is out of the question."

"Me too, no one else will do."

The three of them were jubilant, calling people over and cutting up the watermelon.

Only Wen You was typing silently on one side, [What you gave me has ultimately been given to others. Yes, even the weather is fickle, who can guarantee that I will always be your only one.] freewebnøvel.com

A message was instantly replied below: [Scram!]

Wen You put away the keyboard, took a box of strawberries, and started eating while wallowing in melancholy alone.

Si Yuting returned to his room,

and placed the two boxes on the table.

The boxes were transparent, with only the middle partition and the top being opaque white.

Si Yuting unscrewed the lid of one of the food containers, then closed it again.

He unscrewed the second one and sure enough, saw the familiar note inside, along with a light yellow rose.

The rose was beautiful, its petals edged with a rainbow gradient, pure yet vibrant.

Si Yuting pursed his lips, looking at the items beneath the lid, yet not touching them.

His cold and deep eyes were like a freezing pool, making it impossible to guess what the owner was thinking.

After a while, he took the note, placed it into a glass jar, and inserted the rose as well.

After calling the Emperor, he sent a message to the top-pinned contact: [Miss Qu, do you have time to meet?]

There was no reply from Qu Tong. Si Yuting waited a while, then put away the food containers and left the room.

Meanwhile, Qu Tong, who had just replied to Wen You, contacted Ji Quan to expand her own house.

She only had half a day, as she needed to return to Capital Star in the cover of night.

She took several cuttings from the rose stems to induce growth, getting more cuttings from them.

She gave them to Li Kun and the other two, asking them to cut them into the length of a finger, then to have the farm’s staff plant them all over the place.

After sending everyone out of the farm, Qu Tong entered the farm alone.

```

The seedlings in the farm had grown a lot, and some with shorter growth cycles would be ready for sale soon.

Some tasks could be handled by robots, but management had to be done by people. Xiang Bin alone was clearly not enough, and he was not adept at marketing. Liang Ge could only help with the farm’s turnover.

It was time to hire another person. Once everything was settled, they would discuss it with Xu An.

Spiritual power spread out, and the plants gently swayed with their tender green leaves, receiving the blessing of the Wood-element Ability and bursting with even more vitality.

The area was too large, so Qu Tong couldn’t provide too much at once. He could only enable them to resist external pollution without changing their growth rate much.

Except for the orange trees and cherry tomatoes.

After a while, Ji Quan arrived, bringing his over one hundred-year-old father with him.

People with low spiritual power had shorter lifespans; Ji Quan’s father looked older than Gong Yun, who was over two hundred years old.

Qu Tong didn’t care too much, as long as the work was done well.

Ji Quan was very grateful for Qu Tong’s understanding.

Qu Tong’s original flat was built to villa standards, and this time he planned to add two more stories on top.

The garden would be expanded as well, with a pavilion and a pond to be built.

Alongside that, employee dormitories would be built near the farm.

Xiang Bin was called over again, and Qu Tong planned to build a small house for him as well as an employee benefit.

After all, the money from the two batches of potions had been deposited, and even after transferring a sum to Si Yuting, there were still over ten million left—enough for her to spend freely.

Xiang Bin, knowing Qu Tong’s plans, was very moved and carefully asked, "Boss, can I bring over my mother and sister to live here?"

"What’s the problem with that? I’ve given you access, just swipe your brain-computer interface."

"No, I mean for them to stay permanently," Xiang Bin said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh," Qu Tong thought about it and felt it wasn’t a big issue.

"That’s fine too. If they want to work, you can sort it out yourself. For contracts, get them signed with the business manager."

Qu Tong knew that it was very difficult for third-class star residents to relocate their household registration, so she didn’t think much in other directions.

"Thank you, boss," Xiang Bin, excited, wanted to grasp Qu Tong’s hand but pulled back halfway, standing there somewhat awkwardly.

"Alright, go and tell Master Ji about your requirements. It’s best to build it a little bigger, and have Master Ji build two of them," she said, mainly considering that she might hire another person who would also need a place to live in the future.

"Okay, okay, thank you, boss," Xiang Bin said with light steps as he went to find Ji Quan.

When she returned home in the evening, Qu Tong also picked out a large flying vehicle and two smaller ones with normal configurations, handy for people on the planet, so they wouldn’t have to wait for the public spacecraft that only came every three days.

Her just-warmed-up Star Coin went directly to the bottom.

Sigh, money really doesn’t last.

No wonder ordinary people can’t afford a planet; it takes a whole family to support it.

By the time almost everything was settled, it was nearly 1 a.m.

Qu Tong didn’t even have time to sleep and flew back in her spaceship overnight.

Flying vehicles were different from public spacecraft; they had signal transmitters and allowed the use of brain-computer interfaces.

Qu Tong admired the majesty of the starry river before she had time to check communications.

She then realized Si Yuting had sent her a message in the afternoon.

Meeting up? What for?

Didn’t he leave pretty fast last time?

Perhaps his conscience struck, and he wanted to schedule a meeting to foster some feelings?

No need for that, Duck.

And she didn’t have the time; she had classes to attend, potions to prepare urgently, and an experience trip coming up in a few days.

Looking at the time, calling so late would probably result in getting cursed out, right?

Qu Tong chose to send a message instead. Since she was too tired, she simply sent a voice message.

"Is there something you need? Can’t it be said over communications? I don’t really have much time lately."
