Chapter 42: Is this Really the Man I Want to Marry?

Nnenna decided to challenge him directly.

“Uncle Reuben,” she said sweetly but with a calculating glint in her eyes, “don’t you need to plant the crops first before harvesting and distributing them?

When did you do the planting?

Or…

are you planning to do it with the money Mommy Courage gives you?

Maybe you made a mistake when you said you needed a million to pay the harvesters today.” Reuben turned to her, forcing a smile to mask his rising irritation.

“Yes, of course.

I made a mistake there.

I’m planning to start planting as soon as Courage gives me the money,” he replied, clearly aiming to reassure Nurse Courage rather than Nnenna.

Nnenna nodded as though she accepted his answer but didn’t stop there.

“Okay, Uncle.

But then…” “What?” Reuben snapped, his patience thinning.

“Don’t you need land for planting?

Do you already have land, or are you planning to buy it with the money too?” Reuben froze for a moment, caught off guard by her sharp question.

His expression darkened as he realized the girl wasn’t as naive as she seemed.

Nnenna pressed on, her tone still feigning innocence.

“If Mommy Courage gives you the money, do you already have a specific piece of land in mind for this business?

Or…

are you planning to rent one?” Reuben’s mind blanked at the question, his confidence wavering.

The truth was, there was no real business plan.

He hadn’t thought beyond getting the money and figuring things out later.

Meanwhile, Nnenna was piecing everything together in her mind.
