Chapter 44 How do you know there's no result?
The video, which I was supposed to post a few days ago, is finally edited and posted today.
This video mainly shows the entire process of making peach blossom wine and harvesting peach gum.
But they complained that Yan Sui wasn't in the video and demanded that she hire someone to film her.
Yan Sui retorted directly: "What kind of conditions are these, that you even have someone film a video?"
Looking back, the money she earned in a year wasn't even enough to pay her employees' salaries.
Today was supposed to be Yan Sui's day off, as she gave Aunt Ruan and the others two days off.
It's mainly because she herself wants to rest.
But in order to dig for wild vegetables with Fu Yansheng, she still took her basket and went out.
As April approaches, the greenery on the mountain becomes more pronounced.
Sui Sui, with her short little legs, happily followed in her footsteps.
Fu Yansheng originally thought that digging for wild vegetables would not be easy, as it would require searching all over the mountains and fields.
Unexpectedly, finding wild vegetables was Sui Sui's job; they were really only responsible for digging them up.
As soon as Yan Sui saw the wild vegetables, she couldn't move.
She buried herself in digging for wild vegetables, all the while chattering away to Fu Yansheng.
"How did you like the shepherd's purse dumplings my aunt made last time, Mr. Fu?"
"good."
Yan Sui smiled, her eyes crinkling, as if she was very happy with his words.
"Then I'll ask my aunt to make more this time and send it to you."
Fu Yansheng paused, his deep, unwavering eyes appearing somewhat indifferent.
"Thank you, but it's not necessary."
Yan Sui tilted her head, looking so indifferent.
"Why? Don't you love to eat it?"
Fu Yansheng's voice carried a hint of coolness, like the spring rain.
"I cannot accept gifts without merit. I feel ashamed to have received so many things from Miss Yan for no reason."
Yan Sui slowly moved closer to him and smiled slyly.
"How could that be? Mr. Fu ate my food, he can give me something else in return."
Sexual retribution would be much better.
Fu Yansheng turned his head at that moment, and Yan Sui unexpectedly met his eyes.
Those are such cold eyes.
But her looks are just too good to pass up.
"What Miss Yan wants is probably beyond my means."
After much deliberation, Fu Yansheng decided to draw a clear line.
To avoid any misunderstanding from Yan Sui and potential future trouble.
Yan Sui pouted; that meant she was rejecting him.
How did Mr. Fu know what I wanted?
Fu Yansheng lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes concealing the emotions within them.
"Miss Yan is young, it would be more appropriate for her to spend more time with people her own age."
"So Mr. Fu speaks in such an old-fashioned way because he thinks he's old?" Yan Sui's eyes widened.
Logically speaking, since they've already been rejected, there's really no point in continuing to pester them.
But she's dazzled.
It's rare to meet someone you like, so you have to keep trying.
"He's a bit older than Miss Yan, after all."
Yan Sui's lips curled up into a smile.
"That's not important. Does Mr. Fu have someone he likes right now?"
Fu Yansheng remained silent.
Not getting an answer, she continued, "No, right? In that case, our relationship is normal and doesn't involve any moral issues, so Mr. Fu doesn't need to feel pressured. Whoever likes it can make the effort..."
Fu Yansheng interrupted her: "It's a fruitless effort."
Yan Sui disagreed, pouting her cherry lips: "How do you know there won't be any results?"
The man's tone was cold and indifferent: "Because I will never like you."
After saying that, he stood up.
"I've dug up enough wild vegetables, I'm heading back now."
Yan Sui rested her chin on her hand, watching his resolute back, and chuckled softly.
That's not necessarily true.
Suddenly, she sensed that something was wrong with Sui Sui.
Sui Sui is gentle by nature, not good at fighting, and rarely goes into a defensive state.
Yan Sui picked up her small shovel and ran towards Sui Sui.
Upon arriving here, she immediately spotted Sui Sui, who was bristling with anger and acting aggressively. Despite being shorter than Sui Sui, she was far more arrogant.
"Sui Sui," Yan Sui called out.
As she approached, she saw that the two birds confronting Sui Sui were two pheasants.
These two pheasants are much larger than ordinary domestic chickens, and their cheeks are bright red, making them look quite peculiar.
What is striking is their white tail feathers, which look like they are wearing a magnificent military uniform.
Yan Sui picked up Sui Sui and listened to it complain that the two pheasants were trying to steal its wild vegetables.
If it were any other wild vegetables, Sui Sui definitely wouldn't have snatched them.
After all, they are creatures that grow naturally, so they should be fed.
But this wild vegetable is forced to grow every year, which is why it bristles up to defend its harvest.
Yan Sui patted its head. "Let's go find some elsewhere. Let's leave these for them to eat."
Anyway, the basket was almost full, so it was time to head down the mountain.
"Meow~" Sui Sui called out to the two pheasants.
Here, you can have some.
Yan Sui was about to leave with Sui Sui when, unexpectedly, the two pheasants followed them.
She stopped in her tracks. "Why are you following me? Didn't I give you those wild vegetables?"
Two pheasants proudly raised their heads, looking at her basket.
They can still distinguish between being full at one meal and being full at every other meal.
Yan Sui waved her hand, "I dug up these vegetables myself, I can't give them to you."
It's good enough that we leave that patch of wild vegetables for them.
However, the two pheasants seemed to have taken a liking to her, following her wherever she went.
He even followed her down the mountain.
Whether Yan Sui runs or walks, they can keep up steadily, incredibly agile.
Seeing that they were about to descend the mountain, Yan Sui had no choice but to threaten, "If you follow me any further, I'll slaughter you and make you into roast chicken!"
Completely oblivious to the danger, they didn't take the threat seriously.
So when Yan Sui went home, two tails followed behind her.
The old lady squinted and looked at it, "Oh my, what kind of chicken is this? It looks like a phoenix, it's really rare."
Yan Sui: "Grandma, have you ever seen a phoenix?"
"Isn't it in the book? The tail is just as pretty, but the color is a little different."
Yan Sui sighed, "They're wild pheasants from the mountain, and they insist on following me home. It's so annoying."
The old lady slowly approached, wanting to reach out and touch it.
But the two pheasants hid behind Yan Sui, refusing to let her touch them, and stared at her warily.
The old lady chuckled and said, "It seems they like you, so keep them."
She had already formed a preconceived notion, subjectively believing that they were phoenixes.
Seeing that the old lady liked them, Yan Sui agreed to let them stay for the time being.
"Grandma, why don't you feed them some wild vegetables? They came here because they followed my wild vegetables."
"Okay, I'll have your uncle build a nest in our yard later."
Yan Sui, however, felt that there was no need for such trouble and suggested simply throwing them into the orchard.
But this earned her a reproachful look from the old lady, who said, "How can raising a pet be the same as raising chickens?"
Yan Sui waved her hand, saying that it was Yan Shunzhong who was going to have a hard time anyway.
The old lady asked her to name two pheasants, and Yan Sui casually threw out the names "Big King" and "Little King".
If you look closely, you'll see that their tail feathers are actually different colors.
The larger one has longer and whiter tail feathers; it's called the King.
The other one is naturally Xiao Wang.
The old lady fed them wild vegetables, and they happily ate them.
If you follow the right person, you'll be able to eat well every day.
"Grandma, you stay here and watch over them. I'm going out to pick some vegetables."
The vegetables she planted in the courtyard have grown up and are at their tenderest stage.
These young green vegetables need to be eaten quickly, otherwise they won't taste good when they get old.
Besides the greens and cherry tomatoes, Aunt Ruan also gave her some eggplants and peppers that she had grown herself, which are now growing perfectly.
This is common in the village. If someone buys too many seeds and is worried about wasting them, they give them away to others, since they're not worth much money anyway.
In this way, they would send a little bit here and a little bit there, and Yan Sui's vegetable garden had already grown to a considerable size.
There are several kinds of leafy greens, but currently the ones we can eat are rapeseed and bok choy.
She came over with a small basket to collect the items, and from a distance she saw a person standing in the yard.
Granny Zhang was reaching out towards her vegetable garden.
The eggplants were just seedlings, they hadn't even bloomed yet, what could she possibly pick?
"Grandma Zhang!" Yan Sui called out.
Granny Zhang was already feeling guilty, and she had just grasped the eggplant seedling and hadn't even had a chance to pull it out when she suddenly heard Yan Sui's voice, and her heart skipped a beat.
She hurriedly looked up and saw Yan Sui striding towards her.
"I...I...I was just looking, I didn't do anything!"
Yan Sui pointed to the eaves, "You probably don't know, but I've installed several surveillance cameras here. If you really did something, I won't hesitate to settle accounts with your grandson."
Granny Zhang suddenly turned around and saw the brightly lit camera under the eaves.
She felt a wave of fear wash over her and gave an embarrassed laugh.
"Look at you, why are you being so serious? I didn't even touch your food."
Yan Sui: "You should be glad you didn't have time to do anything."
She also spent money installing a lot of surveillance cameras in her orchard.
Granny Zhang was furious and embarrassed. "I already told you, I didn't intend to do anything. I just thought your vegetables were growing well."
Yan Sui ignored her and started picking the small green vegetables.
Old Lady Zhang wasn't in a hurry to leave; she thought it would be foolish not to take advantage of the situation.
"Yan Sui, your vegetables are growing really well, can I have a bunch?"
"No."
This was the first time Granny Zhang had ever met someone as shameless as Yan Sui.
Among the villagers living in Changqing Village, who would be so stingy as to not even give a handful of green vegetables?
She left in a huff, muttering, "Young people these days are becoming more and more heartless, nothing like we were back then."
Yan Sui ignored her, filled a basket to the brim with vegetables, and the vegetables in the field looked untouched.
She rubbed her aching lower back; she had planted too many vegetables.
Yan Sui carried the vegetables back and forth several times, delivering some to Aunt Ruan and the others.
When we finally went to Grandma Zhao's house, it was her daughter, Zhao Zhifang, who opened the door.
She had heard from Aunt Ruan that when Zhao was young, she married into another village and gave birth to Zhao Zhifang five years later.
Her in-laws disliked that she couldn't give birth to a son, but she had a fiery temper and simply got a divorce, taking Zhao Zhifang back to her parents' home.
When she was young, Grandma Zhao worked at a chicken farm and raised Zhao Zhifang. Later, she even used her savings to buy Zhao Zhifang a house in the city outright.
When Zhao Zhifang got married, the groom agreed that she would be marrying into the family and that their first child would have to take Zhao's surname.
Later, she gave birth to her first son. At that time, the man was somewhat unwilling and wanted the son to take their surname.
Because of Old Mrs. Zhao's strong personality, she produced the prenuptial agreement, and they reluctantly fulfilled their promise that their first child would take the surname Zhao.
When their second child was a daughter, the man started making a fuss again, insisting on changing their son's surname so that their daughter would have the surname Zhao.
Old Mrs. Zhao naturally disagreed.
If we back down now, they will only become more demanding.
But Zhao Zhifang was oblivious to the situation and was fooled by the man. She stole the prenuptial agreement from her own mother and even changed her son's surname.
This infuriated Old Lady Zhao, who immediately wanted to sever ties with Zhao Zhifang.
For a full ten years, the mother and daughter had no contact. It was only a few years ago, when Zhao Zhifang fell ill, that their relationship improved.
