Chapter 11 This woman is getting more and more interesting the more you dig into her.
Before they knew it, it was the weekend, and Yan Junqing and Yan Junming went home together.
Yan Sui then forced them to move strawberries from Xu Mocun's house.
Yan Junqing asked, puzzled, "Why are you moving strawberries?"
Yan Sui then told them about the bet she made with Xu Mocun.
Yan Junming immediately cried out, "Sister, you've been tricked by that old man! He's been growing those strawberry plants for so long, and I've never seen them flower, let alone bear fruit!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a powerful dunk from Tian Xiangjuan.
"How rude!"
Seeing that Yan Junming wanted to say something, Yan Sui rolled her eyes at him.
"Stop talking nonsense and bring all the strawberries over here, or you won't get any later."
The boy scratched his head and muttered, "It's better to just go to the supermarket than go to all this trouble."
Yan Junqing grabbed his ear and, ignoring his cries for help, dragged him out.
"My sister must have her reasons for asking us to move; what if these strawberries bear fruit?"
Yan Junming pursed his lips, his youthful face filled with disbelief.
His arrogance vanished completely after he arrived at Xu Mocun's house.
The two brothers studied calligraphy with Xu Mocun for a summer.
Unfortunately, neither of them had much talent, and they were often scolded.
Yan Junqing was alright; he was calm and could sit still.
Only Yan Junming gets beaten up every few days.
Xu Mocun had a ruler that made a loud cracking sound when it hit his palm, causing a burning pain.
Yan Junqing knocked on the door and called out, "Grandpa Xu, my sister asked us to come and take some of your strawberries."
Xu Mocun walked out with his hands behind his back. "Come in."
The two brothers pushed open the door and entered. Yan Junming, who had been so boisterous just moments before, was now unbelievably well-behaved.
"Be careful."
After all, he's been growing it for so long and checks on it every day; he's developed a real attachment to it.
Yan Junqing smiled and said, "Grandpa Xu, don't worry, we brought a cart over, so we won't crush your strawberries."
The two brothers carried out the seven pots of strawberries after two or three trips.
They politely said goodbye to Xu Mocun before slowly pushing their cart home.
Just then, Qu Jiang drove by and rolled down his window.
Both brothers are familiar with Qujiang.
They knew that a big boss lived in the secluded and luxurious courtyard house, but because everyone was more familiar with Qujiang, they all assumed that he was the big boss.
"Aren't these the strawberries from Old Xu's farm?"
Yan Junming was an easygoing person, revealing his two canine teeth.
"It's the strawberries from Grandpa Xu's house. He asked me to move them to my house."
Qu Jiang suddenly realized that Xu Mocun had actually asked two young men to grow strawberries for him.
He had completely given up hope; Yan Junming didn't seem like the type to grow strawberries at all.
"Go."
The two brothers quickly carried the strawberries home.
However, Yan Sui did not allow them to put it outside, but instead had them move it to her room.
The room Tian Xiangjuan arranged for her had a small attic above it, and outside the attic was her own private rooftop terrace with excellent natural light.
"Put the strawberry down, you can leave now."
Once she was alone in the room, Yan Sui stretched out her fingers and placed them on the edge of the flowerpot.
If there were outsiders present, they would definitely be shocked.
The previously withered strawberry leaves seemed to have been infused with life, sprouting new buds and growing and stretching out.
In the blink of an eye, flower buds appeared and blossomed into small yellow and white flowers.
Yan Sui stopped there; if she let them bear fruit now, Xu Mocun would definitely think she bought them from a supermarket.
After doing all that, she returned to her room.
It's not as luxurious as that big, single-level apartment in the city, but it's cozy and comfortable, and the blankets smell of sunshine.
Just as Yan Sui was thinking of asking her two younger brothers to dig up the cherry tomatoes downstairs, she received a video call from Jiang Yeling.
Jiang Yeling looked at her fair and rosy skin, so flawless that not a single pore could be seen even up close to the camera, and felt extremely envious.
"You look even better than before!"
Yan Sui was lounging in a rocking chair, basking in the sun, her posture lazy and relaxed.
More than her good skin, Jiang Yeling envied her carefree life.
"Are you trying to kill me? I'm about to die from overwork."
Yan Sui thoughtfully put on an eye mask and said lazily, "Then why don't you take a vacation too? Our village is a famous longevity village, which is perfect for a relaxing holiday."
Jiang Yeling let out another wail.
However, she did not forget the purpose of making the call.
"Thanks to Yan Mo, the whole internet now knows that you were kicked out of the Yan family and slunk back to your hometown."
Thankfully, Yan Sui hasn't been online these past few days, otherwise she would have been incredibly frustrated to see those private messages.
Yan Sui smiled nonchalantly, "I was just going back to the village anyway."
Jiang Yeling: "That's not the point. There's a couple on the internet who have posted more than a dozen videos in a row on a short video platform, accusing your uncle's family of being rural tyrants. They also said that their child almost drowned in your uncle's fishpond but didn't get any compensation. I guess there's someone behind this. The buzz is rising very quickly, and I reckon it'll be trending soon."
Yan Sui ripped off the blindfold, revealing a pair of cold and sharp dark eyes.
“I didn’t tell you about this before, because I was afraid it would affect you. I didn’t expect them to turn the tables on me.”
She told Jiang Yeling everything about Huang Mao trying to extort money from the Yan family.
After hearing this, Jiang Yeling exclaimed that this family was shameless.
Yan Sui was a little irritated and grabbed her hair hard.
She doesn't care about being scolded herself, but now she's afraid it will affect her family.
In particular, Yan Shunzhong's identity is sensitive, and he cherishes his reputation even more than ordinary people. It would be bad if his reputation were affected.
Jiang Yeling snorted, "Just you wait and see, in less than two days, they'll be doing live-streaming e-commerce."
Yan Sui: "I will call the police, and I would also appreciate it if you could help me contact a lawyer to collect evidence. I want to sue them."
She meticulously tallied up each and every one of them.
Once the issue gains traction, given its widespread impact, the police will issue a statement.
No matter how hard she tries to clarify, it's not as effective as the official statement.
Jiang Yeling readily agreed, "Don't mention the trouble, just remember to reserve a room for me in the courtyard."
Yan Sui chuckled, "Definitely."
After hanging up the video call, she opened a short video app.
She only uninstalled Weibo; she kept the app to watch videos.
She searched her own name directly, and the top video had over 500,000 likes.
The username of the user who posted the video was "Happy Old Chen Family". The Chen couple who appeared in the video were the parents of the child who fell into the fishpond.
They looked haggard. If Yan Sui hadn't known the truth, who would have suspected they were putting on a show?
They should be in the entertainment industry acting; they'd be winning awards left and right.
Opening the comments section reveals a barrage of criticism.
[The more you dig into this woman, the more interesting she becomes. No wonder she wanted to leave the entertainment industry; otherwise, she'd probably be moving into another one.]
[She bullied classmates in cliques during school, and she continues to bully others after entering the workforce. This woman has remained consistent throughout.]
To be honest, isn't the police doing anything? I'm so angry I'm resorting to the DouDou secondhand platform.
[I scolded her before, and you all said my mom had flown away. Will she come back now?]
