Chapter 73 Asking for Fun
Just as she was lost in thought, her little hand was suddenly wrapped by a warm big hand. Tan Chen naturally held her hand, and the two figures, one tall and one short, walked harmoniously on the country path.
Suddenly, Shang Ruoting was pushed hard by someone, and she staggered without any preparation.
"Shang Ruoting, you are such a jinx. You have money now, right? You hired someone to plow the land for one dollar a day, but you didn't even think of finding a family member. Don't you know the principle of keeping the wealth within the family?" Zou Meihua stood behind the two of them, scolding Shang Ruoting viciously.
She heard Lin Erniu talking to his family in the yard last night about how he helped Tan Chen plow the land. If Tan Mingshan hadn't stopped her, she would have come to find Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting.
When Shang Ruoting saw Zou Meihua being unreasonable, she was about to say a few words to her, but Tan Chen beat her to the punch.
"Mom, we've separated. I can ask whoever I want to do the housework."
Shang Ruoting listened to Tan Chen's infuriating words and silently gave him a thumbs up. She couldn't be soft when dealing with a shameless person like Zou Meihua.
Zou Meihua never expected her son to treat her like this: "Tan Chen, have you been drugged by this unlucky star? Look carefully, who are you talking to?"
Tan Chen had a deadpan expression on his face: "Of course I know who I'm talking to. It was the person who kicked me out of my home when I was in the most difficult time."
Zou Meihua didn't think she was wrong. "I told you you were drugged by the unlucky star, but you refused to admit it. Did I kick you out? I was dividing the family. What's more, I gave you a house."
Tan Chen also realized that there was no point in reasoning between him and Zou Meihua.
"Whether you want to kick me out or split up the family, I'm no longer living under the same roof with you. You can ask whoever you want to do my housework. You have no right to influence my thoughts."
"Also, not only will I not ask you to do work now, I won't ask you to do work in the future either. If you still care about the mother-son relationship we had, don't come to me for things like this in the future. Doing so will make me hate you even more."
Zou Meihua...
It was as if she had never known this son. In the past, Tan Chen would give her a lot of his allowance from the army every year, and would rush to work when he came home on vacation. How did he become like this now?
It must be the pillow talk of Shang Ruoting, the unlucky star, otherwise her son would not have become like this.
She blamed it all on Shang Ruoting.
"I finally understand. You don't intend to recognize me as your mother anymore."
Tan Chen's eyes darkened. "You are my mother. This is an indisputable fact. From now on, I will follow our division agreement and give you the amount that the villagers pay to the elderly every year. As for the rest, nothing else can be discussed."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Zou Meihua, took Shang Ruoting's hand and continued walking west.
Zou Meihua stamped her feet in anger and said, "Tan Chen, I'll just pretend I don't have a son like you."
Shang Ruoting glanced at the furious Zou Meihua and could only say that she was asking for trouble.
Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting's originally good mood was completely disturbed by this little episode. The two of them walked forward silently without saying a word.
Coming to the west yard, Shang Ruoting took a look at the plowed land and took out the prepared seeds from the backpack.
She had to deliver eggs soon, so she had to let Tan Chen stay here and sow the seeds first.
"These are some seeds of small green vegetables, planted near the fence. Also, this is a cucumber, this is a tomato, this is a pepper, this is an eggplant, and this is a pumpkin..."
"These are next to the small green vegetables. You can arrange them as you see fit."
Then she took out some fruit seeds and pointed in a direction: "These are watermelons and strawberries. I plan to plant them here."
Tan Chen listened carefully to Shang Ruoting's instructions and said, "Okay, I've remembered everything. I'll plant it according to your instructions."
Shang Ruoting turned and went to the chicken coop when she saw that Tan Chen understood.
The chickens were still very active today, and each one laid eggs, but Shang Ruoting didn't want to send so many more to the commune. After all, this situation was too strange, and as long as the output was high, she had to try to explain it.
So she took dozens of eggs and sent them into the space, and sent the rest to the team.
When she delivered 812 eggs to the warehouse, Liu Xiaocui did not find the number strange at all. She had participated in chicken breeding before. 885 laying hens would not lay eggs every day even in the busiest season. It was already very good that the chickens raised by Shang Ruoting could lay so many eggs.
Shang Ruoting also observed Liu Xiaocui's reaction. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in her behavior, she knew that what she did was right.
Although she had no choice but to do so, she was also indirectly embezzling public property. For someone who never takes advantage of others, doing so was somewhat burdensome.
However, she had no other choice but to do this. She couldn't just pick out some hens and not feed them the spiritual spring water, right?
Thinking this way, her heart burden was much lighter.
