    Chapter 211: Taking Charge of Rabbit Rearing

    The ladies always believed in He Zhiran's words without a doubt.

    Seeing that the ninth sister-in-law had spoken, they all closed their mouths, refraining from criticizing Mo Chuhan any further.

    He Zhiran continued to comfort Mo Hanyue, "I haven't had the chance to tell everyone since I returned today. Apart from purchasing some novel items from the foreigners, I also bought many live rabbits.

    These rabbits are different from wild ones; they've been raised in captivity since young and won't run away."

    As she spoke, she held onto Mo Hanyue's hand. "Tomorrow, Hanyue will have many, many rabbits. And those rabbits are snow-white, much prettier than wild rabbits."

    Mo Hanyue, with her childlike heart, immediately beamed upon hearing this.

    "Ninth Sister-in-Law, you're not lying to Hanyue, right?"

    "When have I ever lied to you?" He Zhiran feigned displeasure.

    With this, Mo Hanyue was thoroughly convinced and no longer fixated on the wild rabbits.

    "Ninth Sister-in-Law has never lied to me before. From now on, I can take charge of raising the rabbits at home."

    Raising rabbits at home would eventually be for selling them to make money, and even slaughtering them personally.

    At that time, He Zhiran didn't want Mo Hanyue to obstruct like she did today.

    Therefore, she planned to buy some special rabbits for her to raise on Taobao.

    For example, Angora giant rabbits and mini lop-eared rabbits.

    She had loved these two types of rabbits in her previous life—so much so that one couldn't tear their eyes away from them.

    Buying these two types of rabbits was partly because Mo Hanyue liked them. Of course, if these rabbits could breed successfully, they could be sold as pets to wealthy people, generating another source of income. It was truly a win-win situation.

    After finalizing everything, He Zhiran saw that Mo Hanyue had obediently moved aside from the doorway.

    Considering that Fan Tuanyuan was still inside the room, He Zhiran decided to push the door open herself.

    The moment the door opened, everyone was stunned.

    Seven wild rabbits were neatly lined up against the wall, trembling in fear.

    Fan Tuanyuan sat proudly in front of them, like a principal, even patting the ground fiercely with his paws a few times.

    Even when someone entered, the wild rabbits didn't dare to move an inch.

    This scene left everyone in awe.

    Mo Hanyue covered her mouth and giggled.

    "Ninth Sister-in-Law, is Fan Tuanyuan setting rules for these wild rabbits?"

    "Eh… It seems so."

    In He Zhiran's understanding, pandas were clumsy creatures that didn't possess such skills.

    However, the scene before her eyes forced her to believe it was true.

    "Fan Tuanyuan, did you arrange them in formation?"

    "Mm!" Fan Tuanyuan let out a heavy fourth tone, answering decisively.

    This action once again elicited sighs of admiration from everyone.

    Fan Tuanyuan glanced impatiently at those people, then turned around and patted the wild rabbits with his paw again before waddling over to hug his owner's leg with his round bottom.

    Simultaneously, he emitted "yinyin" sounds, clearly showing that he was acting coquettishly.

    The ladies all looked at He Zhiran, hoping that Fan Tuanyuan would come and act coquettishly with them too.

    Unfortunately, Fan Tuanyuan only favored the ninth sister-in-law and ignored their enthusiasm.

    Mo Chuhan took the opportunity to enter the room, calling for his sisters-in-law to help carry the wild rabbits to the backyard.

    When the sisters-in-law returned from the backyard, He Zhiran thought it was about time. The sweet potatoes and potatoes roasting in the stove should be ready by now, so she invited the ladies to taste them together.

    Madam Mo had eaten quite a lot tonight, but for some reason, seeing the lively scene among her daughters-in-law, she wanted to join in the fun.

    She thought so and acted accordingly.

    He Zhiran put Fan Tuanyuan, who was clinging to her, aside before picking up an iron hook to retrieve the sweet potatoes and potatoes from the stove.

    At this point, the sweet potatoes and potatoes were unappealing.

    Not only were they blackened, but they were also covered in dust, looking utterly unappetizing.

    It wasn't until He Zhiran split a sweet potato in half that everyone saw the slightly orange, steaming food inside. Even though their stomachs weren't hungry, they couldn't resist swallowing their saliva.

    He Zhiran knew that everyone didn't know how to eat roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes, so she demonstrated in front of them, peeling off the burnt outer layer bit by bit.

    She presented the peeled sweet potato to Madam Mo. "Mother, try this roasted sweet potato. It's very delicious."

    Madam Mo didn't hesitate, accepting the sweet potato. After blowing on it, she took a bite.

    "Mmm, sweet and glutinous, even better than when we have hot pot.

    Seeing the usually reserved mother-in-law praise it so highly, the others believed it must be delicious. They all stepped forward, imitating He Zhiran's actions to taste it.

    For a while, compliments filled the kitchen without end.

    Baked potatoes were equally delightful, with a unique flavor of their own.

    Claiming to be merely tasting, everyone ended up eating quite a lot. Now, the ladies were thoroughly stuffed...

    Seeing their less-than-graceful state, Old Lady Mo gently scolded, "Shame on you all, coming from prestigious families. Look at how little it takes to satisfy you. It's not early anymore; go back to your rooms and embarrass yourselves there."

    Sister-in-law and Mo Hanyue responded with laughter before scampering off to their respective chambers.

    He Zhiran was the last one to emerge from the kitchen. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, Mo Jiuye returned with Liang Hao and the others.

    Seeing that everything at home had been taken care of, they each headed back to their rooms.

    Fantuan, naturally, clung to her master, determined to be wherever she was.

    He Zhiran indulged the little one, taking it with her and Mo Jiuye into the space.

    Having mentioned the rabbit breeding plan, she intended to have everything ready before heading to the warehouse tomorrow morning.

    The rabbits currently in the space had visibly grown in size, and by morning, they would likely be much larger still.

    Even so, these rabbits would probably take several months to reach maturity once taken outside the space.

    To allow her family to see returns sooner, He Zhiran decided to purchase another hundred adult rabbits from the mall integrated within the operation platform.

    Though slightly more expensive than buying from Taobao Mall, the rabbits here had special constitutions, making them easier to raise and less prone to illness.

    Such rabbits could breed quickly, ensuring that Sister-in-law and Hanyue wouldn't be bored for long.

    In addition, following her plan, she bought two pairs of adult Angora giant rabbits and two pairs of adult miniature lop-eared rabbits.

    It couldn't be denied that pet rabbits were visually appealing, tempting one to pick them up and cuddle them.

    Especially the Angora giant rabbits, which appeared to weigh at least twenty pounds.

    With the necessary rabbits purchased, the next step was cages.

    Allowing so many rabbits to roam freely in the warehouse wasn't practical, nor was it something foreigners would do.

    Thus, rabbit cages were a must.

    This would also eliminate the hassle of transporting the rabbits back and then figuring out how to make cages, better to handle it all at once.

    He Zhiran browsed through Taobao Mall and bought enough professional breeding cages to accommodate a thousand rabbits.

    Given how fast rabbits reproduce, it was essential to prepare ahead.

    Besides, these rabbit cages were foldable, making storage incredibly convenient.
