Chapter 55 I took it back to feed the pigs
Yan Sui knew very well what kind of person Aunt Ruan was.
She doesn't seem like the type of person who would easily give up her job and willingly go to the city to take care of her child.
Looking at it from another angle, if she really wanted to quit her job, she wouldn't have asked Gao Wen to come and talk to her.
However, Yan Sui's attitude angered Gao Wen.
“I’m her son. I told her she was quitting, and she quit! You don’t need to say anything, just listen to me.”
Yan Sui shook her head, seemingly unmoved by reason.
"If she doesn't want to do it anymore, she's got a mouth, she can tell me, right? You don't need to do it for her."
Gao Wen gritted his teeth, "Now I know how my mom became like this, it's because you corrupted her! I'll say it one last time, my mom quits, so you pay her her wages!"
On the first of this month, Yan Sui paid Aunt Ruan and the others their wages for the previous month.
The salary Gao Wen mentioned refers to the salary for these few days in April.
Just as Yan Sui was about to speak, she saw Aunt Ruan hurrying over.
"Aunt Ruan, you've come at the right time. Your son said he'd help you quit your job, but you're not going to work there anymore?"
Aunt Ruan was startled. "Who said I quit? Who said that?"
She strode forward and slapped Gao Wen on the head.
"You bastard, this is my job, what right do you have to help me fire it!"
Gao Wen received a solid slap, and his face grew even uglier.
"Work, work, all you think about is work! Because of this work, our house is in such a mess!"
Although Aunt Ruan went with him to apologize, the boss still had a lot of resentment towards him.
His words implied that Yan Sui should personally apologize to him.
Aunt Ruan wouldn't have it.
She came to apologize because of Gawain.
But Gao Wen and Yan Sui have no relation.
Because of her attitude, Gao Wen's anger, which had reached its breaking point, finally erupted.
A few days ago, on the way back from dropping off Aunt Ruan, the mother and son had a big argument.
He suddenly came home today, saying he wanted to take his parents to live in the city and help take care of the children.
Of course, Aunt Ruan refused. She couldn't get used to living in the city and didn't want to be criticized by her son and daughter-in-law.
As a result, Gao Wen felt that she just couldn't let go of her job, so he took it upon himself to come and quit his job.
"Why is our house such a mess? You're still at work, aren't you? How did it get so chaotic!"
Gao Wen choked, "How can it not be chaotic? You go out to work, what will happen to my dad? Look at the mess you've made of his life!"
Grandma Ruan stared at him blankly, unable to believe that such words could come from her own son's mouth.
It felt like a huge hole had been torn in her heart, letting in a blast of cold air.
This is the son she raised.
"What about your dad? He's not dead or crippled, he's a healthy, lively man. You're asking me what to do with him? If he can't live, he might as well just die!"
"Before I got married, I took care of my younger brother and sister-in-law. After I got married, I served my husband's family. After giving birth to you, I wish I could give you my whole life."
"I'm old now, I'm practically in my coffin, I don't want to spend my whole life relying on you, I want to live my own life, is that not allowed?"
After getting married, Aunt Ruan did not have a formal job. She worked as a laborer on construction sites and was paid by the day.
We still have to farm; the family's food supplies all come from the fields.
When I get home, I have to cook; the whole family has so many mouths to feed.
Later, Gao Wen got married and had children, and asked her to take care of him during his postpartum period and raise the baby, which made life even more difficult.
After enduring three years, her child started kindergarten, but because her daughter-in-law couldn't get used to living with her, she was asked to return to the village.
Aunt Ruan felt incredibly relieved at that time.
During her time working at Yan Sui's orchard, she felt that every day was incredibly fulfilling.
Aunt Ruan wiped away her tears forcefully. "Even a leech will eventually run out of blood, right? I gave birth to you and raised you, isn't that enough? What more do you want from me!"
Gao Wen never imagined that his biological mother harbored such deep resentment.
He was undeniably shocked by these words, but more than that, he felt resentful.
Which elderly person didn't go through this?
Cooking and taking care of the kids, how is that hard?
Why does she feel wronged when everyone else can do it?
“Dad has agreed to come and live with us in the city. If you insist on staying, you will be all alone in the village.”
Aunt Ruan: "I couldn't be happier."
Gao Wen's face flushed red; he was furious with her.
In his view, his own mother had had too many good days and had never experienced the harsh realities of society.
Once she experiences hardship and tastes the loneliness of not having her husband and children by her side, she will know how to cry.
"Okay, then I'll take my dad with me. Since you think my dad is in the way, then you can stay in the village. We won't be coming back."
Within three days, she would be begging him to come back and take her away, crying.
Gao Wen gave a cold snort and strode away.
Yan Sui blinked, turned to look at Aunt Ruan, and saw that she was covering her mouth and trembling violently, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Aunt Ruan, are you alright?"
Aunt Ruan threw her head back and burst into laughter, "What could possibly be wrong with me? I'm just so happy!"
Yan Sui: "..."
He was actually laughing.
You can tell he's genuinely happy.
"Yan Sui, from now on, I'll work for you as hard as I can, as long as I don't die!"
Yan Sui: "...No need for that."
She did not interfere in Aunt Ruan's family affairs.
But since Aunt Ruan was one of her subordinates, she naturally had to make sure she lived well.
"Auntie, would you like to create your own account?"
Aunt Ruan was taken aback. "What account?"
"Shoot a video! You're so smart, you'll definitely learn it in no time."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Ruan refused.
“I’m afraid I’ll get distracted. If I focus all my energy on filming videos, how will I be able to do any work for you?”
In comparison, the orchard is of course more important.
Yan Sui said nothing more, telling her to study it herself when she had time.
Aunt Ruan thanked her and then asked about planting lotus flowers.
"Are you planning to take over all the land that Yan Liang owns?"
Yan Sui shook her head. "No, my family has a fishpond, which is perfect for growing lotus flowers."
Aunt Ruan suddenly realized; she had almost forgotten.
It's a shame that Zhao Chunrong is still bragging to everyone that Yan Sui begged Yan Liang to sell the land, acting all high and mighty, like he's about to fly away.
"Okay, I'll get back to work now."
...
The weather was nice today, so Yan Sui put on her straw hat and went out to till the soil, deciding to plant the corn.
She doesn't grow much; just enough for herself.
Following her usual practice, she would probably call Fu Yansheng.
But not this time.
But after trying to work alone, she realized how efficient Fu Yansheng was.
She squatted down to the side, rubbing her aching arms, when she suddenly heard Ruan Wenze's voice:
"Miss Yan, do you need any help?"
Yan Sui looked up and saw his handsome, fair-skinned smiling face.
In her memory, Ruan Wenze seemed to love to laugh, always smiling at everyone, and appeared very amiable.
"Won't this take up too much of your time?"
Ruan Wenze joked with a smile, "As long as Miss Yan doesn't deduct my salary, that's fine."
This made Yan Sui laugh. "Of course not."
Ruan Wenze looked at Wenxiu, but she really did a decent job.
“I also came from the countryside, and I used to do these kinds of chores all the time when I was a kid.”
In no time, rows and rows of bowl-sized holes were drilled.
Yan Sui, of course, wouldn't just stand by and watch; she put out corn seeds one by one.
She placed the soil while he filled it in, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Qujiang, who was passing by, silently took out his phone and recorded the scene.
Unexpectedly, only a few days have passed, and Yan Sui already has a new dog outside.
He has to go back and tell on them!
Yan Sui certainly didn't expect that there were informants everywhere in her life.
"Thank you, Mr. Ruan. That's enough for now. I can handle the rest myself."
After planting the corn, she still needs to tidy up the vegetable garden.
Ruan Wenze wiped his sweat. "Next time you need something, just go in and call me. With my help, it'll be much faster than you doing it alone."
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
After Ruan Wenze left, Yan Sui took a walk around the courtyard.
The climbing roses planted along the fence and in the corner of the wall are growing very well, and as the weather warms up, clusters of leaves are sprouting out.
With a little more effort, perhaps we can see the first wave of blooms this year.
The area near the fence was planted with all sorts of flowers, especially clusters of colorful hydrangeas, which added a touch of dreaminess to the yard.
Yan Sui was admiring her work when she suddenly spotted Fu Yansheng.
She smiled and waved to him.
"Mr. Fu, what are you doing here?"
Fu Yansheng remained expressionless and casually made up an excuse: "President Qu said that you seem to need some help."
Yan Sui was taken aback. "No need, it's all done."
However, some of the vegetables were already old, and she wanted to get rid of them.
Seeing that Fu Yansheng hadn't left, and adhering to the principle of "since we're already here," Yan Sui asked him to help clean up the vegetable garden.
"Mr. Ruan helped me turn the soil just now, so Mr. Fu can help me pull up the vegetables."
Fu Yansheng: "..." What a perfect master of balancing things.
"What vegetables are you pulling up?"
"I'll take the bok choy and rapeseed home for Da Wang and Xiao Wang to eat."
Fu Yansheng remained silent.
Yan Sui had given him a lot of vegetables earlier, and he asked Qu Jiang to take some home.
Qujiang hyped up this vegetable to the skies, as if it were rarer than ginseng, and clamored to form a team to steal vegetables from Yan Sui.
At that moment, Yan Sui was feeding the chickens with the vegetables that Qujiang had been desperately seeking but could not obtain.
It was simply that his gaze lingered on her was so intense that Yan Sui couldn't ignore it.
She turned around. "Mr. Fu, is there something you need?"
Fu Yansheng pointed to the pile of vegetables on the ground, "Can I have these?"
Yan Sui: "?"
"These vegetables are too old."
Actually, that's not the case. Yan Sui's vegetables are pretty much the same as those sold in the market.
She just likes to eat it tender; she doesn't like it if it's a little too tough.
Fu Yansheng remained silent for a moment, then said, "It's alright, I'll take it back to feed the pigs."
Yan Sui was taken aback. "You raise pigs at home?"
The man remained expressionless. "Well, my older brother's brain is worse than a pig's; he's only good for feeding pigs."
Fu Wenyang, who was talking with Fu Qingci in the study at that moment, sneezed several times in a row.
Fu Qingci closed her eyes and was caught off guard when she was sprayed with saliva in her face.
Fu Wenyang pulled out a handkerchief and said in a muffled voice, "Someone is definitely cursing me!"
As for who it is, he knows the answer even with his bare hands.
"Have you prepared your grandfather's birthday gift?"
Fu Qingci nodded. "It's ready. It's a piece of calligraphy by Elder Xu."
He hasn't seen it yet, but Yan Mo said confidently that she would send it to him after it was framed, so he must have already received it.
Fu Wenyang hummed in agreement. "Well done. Your grandfather loves Old Xu's calligraphy the most. Loading the goods."
Fu Qingci: "..."
Do you dare say it to my face?
