Chapter 49 A Kind Reminder
On Qingming Festival, Yan Sui went to sweep the tombs and pay respects to her ancestors early in the morning with her elders.
The chrysanthemums in my hand were picked from my own yard, and they were still covered with glistening dewdrops.
She had seen Yan Shunguo's photo at home before, so she was familiar with him.
Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I can see a resemblance between my face and my father's.
Tian Xiangjuan handed her the incense sticks, saying, "Light some incense for your father, so he can protect you and keep you safe and sound in the future."
“When you were still in your mother’s belly, he hoped you would be a girl. Later, his wish came true, but he was never able to see you.”
Yan Shunzhong sighed deeply, "Alright, let's not talk about these sad things."
Yan Sui felt a mix of emotions, but not sadness.
Who told her to have an unusual past?
Having witnessed so many life-and-death situations, she was almost numb.
After sweeping the tomb and burning incense, the group slowly walked down the slope.
This cemetery is a bit far from Changqing Village. Because it is located near a mountain, it has a lot of vegetation, and green shoots have already sprouted in the view.
"Uncle, I just saw some mugwort over there. I'm going to pick some tender leaves to take home and make qingtuan (a type of glutinous rice dumpling)."
Yan Shunzhong, who was already somewhat preoccupied, looked a little dazed upon hearing her words.
"Oh? Oh, go ahead, the roads are slippery in the rain, watch your step."
Yan Sui waved her little hand, then hugged Sui Sui and ran towards the patch of mugwort she had just seen.
With Sui Sui around, she could have as much mugwort as she wanted.
After picking mugwort leaves and returning home, the old lady was chasing after Da Wang and Xiao Wang in the yard.
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
The old woman stopped, panting. "The king laid eggs, shouldn't they incubate them? But they're always running around outside, showing no sign of wanting to incubate them at all."
Yan Sui handed her the mugwort leaves she had picked, saying, "Grandma, could you wash these mugwort leaves for me? I'll talk to them."
Although Da Wang and Xiao Wang are pheasants, they surprisingly listen to Sui Sui.
With proper care, they won't poop everywhere or eat the vegetables in the field.
The only downside is that they are hyperactive and very aggressive; even Aunt Ruan's black dog is afraid of them.
They're too active to have the patience to incubate eggs.
Yan Sui lured the king over with two green vegetables and asked Sui Sui to act as a translator to communicate with them.
"Hatch the egg, and I'll treat you to strawberries."
They are used to eating green vegetables, so the green vegetables that Yan Sui grows can no longer tempt them.
But strawberries are different; the king has been eyeing them for a long time.
But they are very sensible and know that strawberries cannot be picked.
The king raised his head and circled back and forth in front of Yan Sui a few times, as if he was considering something.
Finally, she quietly returned to her nest to incubate her eggs.
There are eight eggs in total; I wonder how many will hatch.
Seeing the king lying obediently in his nest, Yan Sui smiled with satisfaction.
She patted Sui Sui and said, "Keep an eye on Da Wang. If it slacks off, it won't get any strawberries."
"Meow~" It's not incubating the eggs properly, so I'm going to beat it.
Yan Sui looked at Sui Sui's short legs and said, "That's not necessary."
You're not even as tall as them.
Just as she was about to go inside to help, she suddenly saw Yan Liang's family coming over.
Zhao Chunrong followed behind, looking unwilling.
Yan Sui raised an eyebrow; she had forgotten that Yan Liang had already come out.
"Yan Sui, I've come to apologize to you."
Yan Sui found this amusing; if the apology were sincere, he wouldn't have done something like this.
“Brother Yan Liang, you have already paid the price for what you did, so there’s no need for an apology. I hope this will teach you a lesson.”
Yan Liang wiped his face, looking somewhat helpless.
“I know you probably won’t believe me, but I really didn’t mean to harm you. I just thought you were selling inferior peach gum. After all, I’ve been in charge of this orchard for so many years, and I know the situation best. I just wanted to kindly remind you.”
Yan Sui scoffed, "What do you think? You didn't even glance at it before concluding that I'm cheating clients. Is that what you call a well-intentioned reminder? Brother Yan Liang, you really have low standards for yourself."
Yan Liang sighed heavily, "There's no use saying anything now, but I still want to apologize to you. And my grandma, she only came here to cause trouble because she was worried about me."
His dissatisfaction with Zhao Chunrong had reached its peak at this moment.
Zhao Chunrong's outburst exposed all the things he had done.
Recently, someone wanted to buy Yan Sui's hundred acres of land because of her influence.
Upon hearing that he had betrayed Yan Sui, he immediately turned and left.
Yan Liang regretted his actions, wishing he had never meddled in Yan Sui's affairs.
But what did he do wrong?
He's just someone with a sense of justice; he's just worried about consumers being scammed.
Seeing Yan Sui's indifferent expression, Yan Liang said no more and turned to leave.
Before he even left, Zhao Chunrong started muttering to himself beside him.
"She only sold a few pounds of peach gum, look how smug she is. Being able to sell peaches is the real achievement."
"Just you wait and see. Making money now is nothing special. When the peaches rot on the ground, she'll have her day."
Yan Liang glanced at her coldly, but did not say anything to stop her.
Yan Sui was indeed a bit too arrogant.
They had just reached the door when a luxury car drove up.
The car came to a steady stop beside them.
A short while later, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie got off.
"Excuse me, is this Yan Sui's house?"
Yan Liang was taken aback, then nodded.
The man smiled. "I'd like to meet Miss Yan."
Yan Sui came out and looked him over for a moment.
"What's up?"
The man pulled out a business card. "My surname is Qiu. I'm here on behalf of our company to order a batch of peaches from you."
Yan Sui: "?"
"My peaches aren't fully grown yet."
That's outrageous.
“I know, so it’s a reservation, and I can pay a partial deposit.”
Yan Sui: "...What if the peaches don't taste good?"
Qiu Tang said gently, "Whether it tastes good or not is not our concern."
The old man had only one request: the peaches had to be ordered.
Yan Sui asked, "How many do you need?"
"Five thousand catties will be distributed as employee benefits."
This number is not small.
Yan Sui nodded. "Can we go inside and talk? If I'm sure I want it, I'll need to sign a contract beforehand."
"Of course."
Zhao Chunrong and Yan Liang were both stunned when they saw the person enter the house.
"These peaches haven't even grown yet, how can you pre-determine the peaches? Aren't you afraid they won't taste good?"
Yan Liang's expression was not good. "He didn't order it for himself. Even if it's not good, it's for the employees."
Zhao Chunrong: "But who would spend so much money to buy thousands of kilograms of bad peaches! If you can sell them like this, why didn't you sell your peaches in the first place?"
Yan Liang stopped abruptly and said in a deep voice, "Grandma, if you can't speak properly, you can shut up!"
Zhao Chunrong snorted, "You go back first, I'll wait here for that guy surnamed Qiu."
Why are you waiting for him?
"I have to remind him, lest he be deceived by Yan Sui."
Yan Liang said helplessly, "This is Yan Sui's matter, so don't make things worse!"
Zhao Chunrong waved her hand, "I'm not trying to cause trouble. I'm just worried that if Yan Sui sells something bad, it will ruin the reputation of our Changqing Village."
"Suit yourself!" Yan Liang waved his hand and left.
