Chapter 106: Fate, Luck, and Feng Shui

Her limbs went limp, and the old lady of the Zhong family felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. Her face, which was not very pretty to begin with, turned even paler. At this moment, she was leaning on the sofa in the main hall on the first floor, looking greatly shocked.

Zhong Ran'er and Zhong Herui were standing on either side of the old lady of the Zhong family. Zhong Ran'er was constantly serving her tea and water, and patting her back to soothe her. She was very considerate.

"What on earth is going on?" Zhong Qiqiang was overwhelmed when he saw the messy garden and the sick old lady when he came back.

"Well...well, actually..." Zhong Yangyang stammered, trying to cover up for Kong Xiyan, but didn't know how to start.

Just when Zhong Yangyang was thinking of taking all the responsibility on herself, Zhong Qiqiang saw through her tricks and interrupted her: "Xiyan, you speak!"

After all, Zhong Yangyang has been raised by his side for so many years. How brave is he and what big things he can do?

But Zhong Qiqiang really didn’t know why Kong Xiyan did this.

Kong Xiyan shrugged and spread her hands: "It's such a big place, it's a waste to grow those things. They can't be eaten or drunk. It's better to grow vegetables and grains."

Kong Xiyan had long noticed the Zhong family's feng shui problems.

As the saying goes, fate comes first, luck comes second, and feng shui comes third.

The Zhong family's garden had a big problem from the beginning of its design. Although it looks lush and flourishing now, in fact, each plant is in conflict with each other and is only barely kept alive by artificial fertilizers. Within three years, no plant will survive, and the Zhong family's fortune will also be in tatters.

In this case, why not grow some vegetables, fruits and melons that are easy to grow? Not only are they beneficial to Feng Shui, but you can also eat them!

"You! You!" The old lady of the Zhong family was so angry that she trembled all over when she heard Kong Xiyan's words: "What do you know!"

"Of course I understand." Kong Xiyan's voice drowned out the old lady of the Zhong family: "Now we need to dig out the land and take good care of it so that we can plant it next spring!"

"You!" The old lady of the Zhong family felt that she was talking at cross purposes. She was so angry that her head was dizzy. In the end, she could only curse: "A rotten tree cannot be carved!"

"Spring plowing, summer weeding, autumn harvest, and winter storage, this is how our ancestors have been doing it for generations." Kong Xiyan didn't think there was anything wrong with growing vegetables. The Kong family even reserved a hill for her to grow vegetables. But later she became interested in hydroponic plants, so she gave the hill to other people to plant. The crop proportions she adjusted resulted in a bumper harvest every year, and she also applied for multiple patents!

After hearing Kong Xiyan's words, Zhong Qiqiang and Liang Qiu could only look at each other and sigh.

After all, they treated Kong Xiyan poorly and failed to teach her the rules of Nancheng.

"Xiyan, not many people here grow vegetables at home." Liang Qiu held Kong Xiyan's hand and said softly, "You can ask the housekeeper to buy whatever you want to eat."

"Xiyan, even if you want to grow vegetables, there is no need to destroy your grandma's garden. I will buy you a piece of land in the suburbs and you can grow vegetables there, okay?" Zhong Qiqiang also sighed lightly.

"The suburbs are too far away. I want to grow them at home..." Kong Xiyan puffed out her cheeks, looked up at Zhong Yangyang, and gave her a wink.

The latter understood what Kong Xiyan meant and quickly stepped forward and said, "Since the garden is already like this, why don't you let me grow some vegetables? If that doesn't work, we can just divide it into two..."

"How dare you say that!" Liang Qiu glared at Zhong Yangyang and interrupted her.

Liang Qiu felt very angry when he saw Zhong Yangyang wearing a straw hat, with dust on her pretty face and her French shirt also dirty.

She originally wanted Zhong Yangyang to work with her to turn Kong Xiyan into a qualified rich lady!

Instead of letting Zhong Yangyang join Kong Xiyan in making trouble!

Now, Kong Xiyan hasn't corrected herself, and even Zhong Yangyang herself has become a little unruly country girl!

Could this still give her some hope?

Zhong Yangyang shrank his neck guiltily, and looked at Zhong Qiqiang timidly: Dad, it's your turn.

Zhong Qiqiang also had a headache at this moment.

On one side is his daughter, and on the other side is his mother.

What should he do?

Zhong Qiqiang looked at Kong Xiyan, then at the old lady of the Zhong family, feeling torn.

At this time, the old patriarch of the Zhong family, who had never spoken a word, sat in a wheelchair, staring blankly ahead, muttering, "As long as I have vegetables, I won't be hungry! Growing vegetables is good!"

"Dad, what did you say?" Zhong Qiqiang immediately looked at the old patriarch of the Zhong family.

"Growing vegetables is good..." The old head of the Zhong family said this again, then tilted his head and dozed off again.

"Since Dad said so, then..." Zhong Qiqiang breathed a sigh of relief, but was interrupted by the old lady of the Zhong family before he could finish his words.

"Your father is old and confused, how can his words count!" The old lady of the Zhong family frowned: "Is there anyone in this villa area who grows vegetables at home? He is old and confused and doesn't understand things. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"Let's do this." Zhong Qiqiang was silent for a moment before making a decision: "The garden is ruined now anyway. Whether it's for growing vegetables or flowers, we need to re-plan and tend to it. Let's cultivate the soil first, and then we can think about other things."

"I have no objection." Kong Xiyan immediately expressed her opinion.

Everyone turned their attention to the old lady of the Zhong family, who could only twitch her lips and say, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Anyway, she wants to plant flowers, no matter what time it is, she will plant flowers!

Next to the old lady of the Zhong family, Zhong Ran'er really thought about the saddest things in her life, and only then did she stop herself from laughing out loud.

That Kong Xiyan is so stupid and unsophisticated that she actually wants to grow vegetables here!

I really don’t know which mountain valley she came from!

And that Zhong Yangyang, it seems that she has indeed lost the favor of Zhong Qiqiang and his wife. She barely said a few words, and every word she said was rebuked.

Zhong Raner felt so happy.

Zhong Herui, who also saw all of this, looked at Zhong Yangyang with increasingly passionate eyes.

During dinner that night, the old lady of the Zhong family said that she had no appetite and pushed the wheelchair of the old patriarch of the Zhong family upstairs in the elevator.

Zhong Ran'er and Zhong Herui also went upstairs to dine with the old lady of the Zhong family. Zhong Ran'er even tried to spread rumors intentionally or unintentionally, which made the old lady of the Zhong family have an extremely bad impression of Kong Xiyan.

At night, Zhong Yangyang went to settle the score with Kong Xiyan, but came up empty-handed.

"Really? You're tricking me again!" Zhong Yangyang puffed out her cheeks and walked towards her room unhappily, thinking to herself that she must settle today's score with Kong Xiyan tomorrow.

When reaching the corner of the stairs, Zhong Yangyang met Zhong Herui.

Seeing the well-behaved cousin from the past, Zhong Yangyang felt very complicated.

Just as she was about to walk away with her head down, Zhong He Rui took the initiative to speak: "Cousin, don't argue with Ran'er."

Hearing Zhong Herui still calling her cousin, Zhong Yangyang was slightly stunned, then raised the corners of her lips and revealed a faint smile: "No."

It seems that she was overthinking it. Not everyone would look at her differently after knowing that she was a fake daughter who had usurped the throne.

"Cousin, you must be in great pain when something like this happens suddenly."

"There were some accidents, but..." Zhong Yangyang shook his head slowly, feeling that there was no need to say so much, and sighed lightly: "You should go to bed early." After saying this, Zhong Yangyang prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

"Cousin." Zhong Herui stepped forward and blocked Zhong Yangyang's way. He stretched out his hand and lifted her chin: "Be my lover!"
