Chapter 493 Shang Family Joke
"This child is quite easy to take care of. He sleeps after eating. He is less than a month old and has already grown almost 3 kilograms."
When talking about her son, Yang Mei's eyes were full of doting.
Shang Ruoting tucked the little one in and said, "This child is so pretty."
The two were reminiscing about the past here. Yang Tao went out at some point and came back with a bowl of washed strawberries.
"Sister Ruoting, these are strawberries grown in my backyard. Although they are not as big as those grown in your greenhouse, they are also delicious. Come and try them."
Shang Ruoting was feeling a little thirsty at the moment, so she didn't hesitate to pick up a strawberry and put it in her mouth.
Then, he asked about Yang Tao's academic progress.
After chatting for about an hour, the little guy who was sleeping on the kang woke up. Yang Mei was coaxing the child, and Li Jiasheng came over to call Shang Ruoting.
"Sister-in-law, the boss is waiting for you outside. He said he wants to go check out the greenhouse."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Shang Ruoting responded and walked out of the house.
When she and Tan Chen walked out of Yangmei's house, they saw a group of villagers sticking their heads out to look into Yangmei's yard.
It was probably because there was a car parked in front of their house and they were all curious about who was coming.
Seeing Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen coming out, someone immediately started shouting loudly.
"Let me tell you, apart from Tan Chen and his wife, who would drive to our Sihe Village?"
"Ah! It's really Ruoting and Tan Chen."
"Aren't they studying in the capital? Why are they back so soon?"
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were already used to the gossipy nature of these villagers. They greeted everyone with a smile and drove towards the village.
When passing by Aunt Chen Si's house, the two stopped the car, took two packages of gifts prepared in advance from the car, and planned to pay a visit.
Aunt Chen Si happened to be at home at the moment and warmly invited the person into the house.
Now, she regards Shang Ruoting as her own God of Wealth.
Since I contracted wasteland with her, our family income has increased several times compared to previous years.
In addition to the income from farming, Shang Ruoting wanted to start a vermicelli business. Her family has been doing it now and earns more than 100 yuan every month.
After greeting each other, Tan Chen told the purpose of his visit.
"Aunt, Ruoting and I bought a yard in Beijing and plan to invite the folks we used to work with to help with the renovations.
I remember that your second and third brothers both participated in it at that time. I wonder if they are willing to go to Beijing with me this time?
Of course, the wages will definitely be higher than when I built a house in Zhuang City, including food, accommodation and round-trip travel expenses."
When Aunt Chen Si heard that the two of them bought a house in Beijing, she was not surprised at all.
After all, they made a lot of money by selling their artificially cultivated oyster mushrooms to Nanjie Food Store.
"The winter wheat was just planted two days ago. Your second and third brothers are free right now, helping with the work for the family. They don't need to be paid. Just tell us when you want to leave, Tan Chen."
What's the point of asking for wages? Aunt Chen Si felt that her family had benefited so much from Tan Chen and his wife, it was not right to ask for wages.
Tan Chen understood Aunt Chen Si's temperament and did not refute.
"Aunt has agreed. I'll go ask the others. Once everyone is gathered, we can discuss the time to go to the capital."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shang Ruoting again and said, "Wife, how about you stay and chat with your aunt while I go out to find someone?"
Shang Ruoting was unwilling to get involved in the search for someone, so she nodded and said, "Okay, we'll meet at the greenhouse in an hour."
After Tan Chen left, Aunt Chen Si took Shang Ruoting aside and started talking about village gossip.
"Ruoting, you don't know, the Shang family made a big joke a few days ago."
Before Shang Ruoting went to the capital, she knew that the Shang family was having a hard time. The villagers had no land to farm, and food had become a problem.
Apart from being poor and destitute, she really couldn't think of any big joke that the Shang family could have done.
"Auntie, what happened in their family again?"
Aunt Chen Si looked as if she was gloating over someone else's misfortune.
"Zhang Lanxiang was caught having an affair with an old bachelor from Yihe Village by Shang Lichun."
Shang Ruoting...
This news is really shocking. Zhang Lanxiang must be at least 50 years old. How could she still do such a thing as an adulterer?
To be honest, she really didn't believe it.
"Auntie, isn't this something Shang Lichun said after drinking?"
When Aunt Chen Si saw that Shang Ruoting didn't believe it, she became a little anxious.
"It's absolutely true. Not only was Shang Lichun the one who saw it, but two people from Yihe Village also saw it.
After returning home, Shang Lichun beat Zhang Lanxiang severely and said he wanted to divorce her.
In Shang Ruoting's impression, every time Shang Lichun and his wife quarreled, Zhang Lanxiang was the one who proposed divorce. This seemed to be the first time that Shang Lichun mentioned this matter. He must have been cheated on.
"So they're divorced?"
