Chapter 156 Do Me a Favor
Zhao Chunrong packed a few clothes and set off to the city to find her son.
She didn't bring much, but she did bring her two laying hens.
When Feng Mei and Yan Zhendong saw her appear at the door carrying large and small bags, they were stunned.
"Mom, what brings you here?" Yan Zhendong was greatly surprised.
Zhao Chunrong was taken aback. "Didn't you say you were going to bring me to live in the city?"
She came on her own without needing anyone to pick her up, saving them a lot of trouble.
Feng Mei had a splitting headache. Those were just polite words she said in front of relatives. How could Zhao Chunrong have taken them seriously?
She sat down, rubbing her forehead, and her expression changed drastically when she caught a glimpse of the two fluttering chickens out of the corner of her eye.
"We can't let those two chickens in; we have carpets on the floor!"
Zhao Chunrong was very unhappy; he hadn't even entered the door yet, and he was already complaining about her.
Feng Mei tried to stop her, but she insisted on going in.
"What's wrong with a carpet? People can step on it, so why can't chickens?"
She not only stepped on them, but also put the two chickens with their legs tied on the ground.
They couldn't hold it in any longer and pooped on the carpet with a squelch.
Feng Mei's face turned deathly pale; she could no longer bear it.
"Yan Zhendong, quickly send your mother back!"
She was overjoyed to have her wedding ceremony today.
But Zhao Chunrong had to come and spoil her fun.
Zhao Chunrong frowned. "What kind of attitude is this? I'm your mother-in-law!"
Yan Zhendong was furious: "Mom, can you please stop making things worse for me! There's nowhere for you to stay here!"
As he spoke, he picked up the luggage his mother had brought.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
Zhao Chunrong was naturally unwilling to leave, and news of her coming to the city had spread throughout the village.
How embarrassing it would be to be sent back in such a sorry state.
"We made a deal when we separated the family property: you would take care of me in my old age. Are you trying to go back on your word now?"
Yan Zhendong choked, looking at Feng Mei with difficulty.
Feng Mei didn't care what he thought and went into the room without looking back.
This attitude says it all.
A sinister glint flashed in Yan Zhendong's eyes; he had never had a say in this family.
"Look at her attitude! My own mother-in-law has come, and instead of serving her, she wants to kick me out!"
"mom!"
Yan Zhendong got angry, and Zhao Chunrong dared not nag anymore.
She had no choice but to soften her tone: "Zhendong, you've divorced Peng Xiufang now, and you've given her the house in the countryside. Mom has nowhere to live in the countryside anymore. If you don't take me in, I'll have no choice but to wander the streets."
Yan Zhendong led her into the study and spoke to her gently for a long time.
But Zhao Chunrong is not one to listen to advice.
She's already here; no one can drive her away.
"I'm your biological mother, so you have to support me!"
Yan Zhendong covered his face helplessly, "I'm not refusing to support you. I can give you two thousand a month for your retirement, how about that?"
He may seem successful now, but he actually has nothing.
Feng Liqun, that old man, is practically on his deathbed, yet he only appointed him as a regional purchasing manager, with no intention of delegating any real authority to him.
He only had one daughter, Feng Mei, and Feng Mei didn't understand company affairs.
If you don't hand the company over to him, what else do you want to do?
"I don't want money, I just want to stay here." Zhao Chunrong remained unmoved.
Just before Yan Zhendong ran out of patience, an idea suddenly came to him.
"Mom, do you really want to stay?"
Zhao Chunrong rolled her eyes at him, "Isn't that obvious?"
"Here's what you'll do me a favor. If it works out, I'll come to the village and bring you here to live with me."
Zhao Chunrong choked, even if she didn't help, she was already here.
Judging from Yan Zhendong's expression, if she doesn't agree, he'll probably have to leave.
She could only reluctantly ask, "What kind of help?"
"Yan Sui's peaches must be selling very well online, right?"
Zhao Chunrong had something to say about this.
"Not only good, but she has already sold 100,000 jin in a short period of time! Many big bosses have come to her to wholesale peaches, but she refuses to sell them to them!"
Yan Zhendong was lost in thought, realizing that Yan Sui's influence was quite significant.
“This orchard wasn’t originally owned by Yan Liang. It’s the same peaches, so how come Yan Sui can sell them so well? There must be something fishy going on.”
These words struck a chord with Zhao Chunrong.
"Of course there's something fishy going on. I've never seen peaches that smell so good! No pesticides, not a single wormhole. Do you think that's normal?"
Yan Liang is a farmer; how could she not know what the things that come out of these fields are like?
Yan Sui might possess some kind of sorcery.
Yan Zhendong chuckled, not taking her words to heart.
What era are we living in? Still clinging to feudal superstitions.
In his opinion, Yan Sui must have given Tao Zi something shady.
"Mom, can you help me negotiate a cooperation with Yan Sui? Tell her that our company wants to buy 10,000 catties of peaches from her. If the deal goes through, I'll not only bring you to live in the city, but I'll also give you 20,000 yuan."
Someone had previously threatened him with the fact that he was married and had children in the countryside, trying to get him to smear Yan Sui.
Now that his secret has been exposed, no one can threaten him anymore, but he thinks it's a good idea.
Given Yan Sui's current influence, if her scandal were to break, the resulting media frenzy would be enormous.
At that time, Lewan can also use her to gain a huge amount of traffic.
Feng Liqun, seeing his abilities, will surely give him an important position.
Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Zhao Chunrong agreed without hesitation.
She'd do it even for 2,000, let alone 20,000.
The next day, Zhao Chunrong returned to the village with her things.
As soon as she appeared at the village entrance, Granny Zhang revealed a gloating expression.
"Didn't you go to the city to enjoy life? Why are you back? Is it because your daughter-in-law won't let you stay?"
Zhao Chunrong showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and instead said, "I came back because I have something to do, and I need to go back."
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang couldn't hide her disappointment.
Zhao Chunrong glared at her, "What's with that look? Can't stand to see me enjoying life?"
"Oh, no, no, I just can't bear to part with you. If you leave, there will be no one to chat with," Granny Zhang said with a forced smile.
Zhao Chunrong ignored her and went straight to find Yan Sui.
She never expected Yan Sui to refuse, after all, Yan Zhendong wasn't asking for it for nothing; money offered to him was not something he would turn away.
Therefore, when Yan Sui refused outright, Zhao Chunrong was utterly astonished.
"Are you out of your mind? My daughter-in-law's company is very famous. They're helping you sell peaches. You should be grateful!"
Yan Sui sat on the swing with her legs up. The sun had just come out, and it wasn't hot outside yet.
"Grandma, I don't need to give such a good opportunity to someone else."
"That won't do," Zhao Chunrong thought to herself.
If Yan Sui doesn't agree, how can she go back to live in the city?
She already considered that 20,000 yuan as her own; how could she let the duck that was already in her hands fly away?
"I don't care, if Uncle Zhendong wants to buy peaches, you have to sell them to him! You're supposed to be family, how can you act like this!"
Yan Sui leisurely scrolled through the screen, ignoring her shouts.
After Zhao Chunrong had said a whole lot, she rubbed her ears, which were practically full.
You could tell from her voice that the old lady was in good health; her voice was strong and clear.
“Grandma, Uncle Zhendong wants to buy my peaches. Why doesn’t he come over himself? He has no shame in making an old woman like you run errands for him. Your daughter-in-law is willing to take you to the city to enjoy a comfortable life, so you should stay in the city and not bother coming here to cause trouble.”
Yan Sui's words really hit Zhao Chunrong where it hurt.
"I had no choice!"
As she spoke, Zhao Chunrong began to pour out her grievances to Yan Sui.
