Chapter 221 They can only have one child in this life
Li Yuefen refused on the spot, but how could Shang Ruoting take back something she really wanted to give?
Without further ado, she placed two baskets of fruits and vegetables in the mail room and left with Tan Chen.
The family now had everything they needed, so the two of them did not stay in Zhuang City and took a bus directly back to Sihe Village.
When Mrs. Shang saw that the couple came back empty-handed and so early, she knew that their fruit and vegetable sales were very successful.
She hurried to the kitchen to help the two prepare meals. While Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were eating, she told Old Lady Shang about the contract signed at the textile factory to sell all the fruits and vegetables.
Old Mrs. Shang truly admired the young couple's abilities: "Seeing your lives getting better and better day by day, I'm really happy for you."
Shang Ruoting coquettishly rubbed against Old Lady Shang and said, "Grandma, this is just the beginning. Our big show is yet to come!"
Old Mrs. Shang looked at her precious granddaughter's mischievous appearance and patted her hands.
"Haha... As long as you two live a good life and have more children in the future, your family will be lively and cheerful. I promise to live a few more years to help you raise your children."
Shang Ruoting knew best that the country would begin to implement the family planning policy in a few years. She and Tan Chen had no plans to have children for the time being, and they probably could only have one child in their lifetime.
Although she knew how the overall situation was developing, she couldn't say it out loud.
As soon as Tan Chen heard about having a baby, he became talkative.
"Grandma, as long as you take good care of yourself, Ruoting and I will definitely give birth to many babies for you to take care of."
During the meal, there was constant laughter and a sense of harmony everywhere.
However, Shang Ruolian and Qiao Yuan's situation was in stark contrast to Tan Chen's family.
Qiao Yuan was sitting on a chair. There was a half-plate of peanuts on the table and an empty wine bottle next to him. His eyes were lifeless, his beard seemed to have not been shaved for a long time, his hair was disheveled, and he looked like a beggar.
Shang Ruolian stood in front of the table, staring at him.
"Did you take the money my mother gave me to put in my pocket?"
Qiao Yuan looked nonchalant: "I already told you, I didn't take it."
Shang Ruolian pointed at the peanuts and empty wine bottle on the table and asked, "You didn't take my money, where did these come from?"
Ever since Zhang Lanxiang made trouble last time, Qiao Yuan didn't hit Shang Ruolian again, but he never gave her a good look either. He was idle all day and often bought alcohol to drink.
He often scolds Shang Ruolian, and all the expenses of the family depend on Shang Ruolian.
He had been holding back these days, probably because he was drunk and his mind was out of control. The more he listened to Shang Ruolan nagging, the more annoyed he became.
Qiao Yuan picked up the empty wine bottle on the table and threw it hard in the direction of Shang Ruolian.
"So what if I took it? It's just a few dollars, right?"
"You keep nagging me..."
Shang Ruolian also didn't want to have a big fight with Qiao Yuan and make another fool of herself, so she had been enduring it these days. However, all her private money was lost, and Qiao Yuan had alcohol again after not having it for a few days, and it was obvious that he had stolen her money to buy it.
She only questioned it because she couldn't bear it anymore.
As a result, she was caught off guard and hit on the forehead by the wine bottle thrown by Qiao Yuan. Blood instantly flowed out and her face was covered in blood, which was very horrible.
"Qiao Yuan, you still dare to hit me? I'll fight you..."
Shang Ruolian didn't care about the wound on her forehead at all. She picked up the enamel teacup on the table and threw it at Qiao Yuan.
When Qiao Yuan saw the injury on her forehead, he regained most of his sanity. After all, he had drunk a lot of alcohol and had no balance. He watched the teacup coming towards him and while dodging backwards, his body lost its balance and he fell to the ground.
The enamel teacup also fell to the ground, once again attracting the attention of the educated youth outside.
Shang Ruoting had no idea what Shang Ruolian was going through at the moment. After dinner, the family went into the greenhouse.
Since they had said they were supplying goods to the textile factory, they had to do a good job of concealing their presence, so they decided to pick all the ripe fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse.
The workload was quite heavy, and the three of them were busy until dark but still couldn't finish it. The next day was the weekend, so Yang Tao brought Yang Xiu over to help.
After spending a whole morning, the few of them finally picked all the ripe fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse.
In the afternoon, Yang Mei also came with Yang Liu and Yang Xu to help with the weighing. The final result was that several vegetables weighed one pound, and there were 900 strawberries.
This means that Shang Ruoting still has to take out two kilograms of vegetables and 2,100 strawberries from the space.
Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting took the fruits and vegetables produced in the greenhouse to the city, and it was impossible for them to leave the things in the space.
