Chapter 222: Envious of Others
Liang Weituo did not say how it was done when he sent the message.
Huang Xinran was a little anxious, but had no way to go out, so he had to suppress it.
Don’t worry, taking good care of your body is the most important thing.
She even sped up the time she spent practicing the Qingdi Heart Sutra.
Because she couldn’t visit other people’s homes during her confinement period, Huang Xinran could only make use of the flowers and plants in the small yard.
As a result, the next day Liu Zhaodi yelled, "Something strange has happened. The weeds in our yard have grown wildly. I clearly remember that they were this tall yesterday, but today they are more than twice as tall and so dense, as if they were covered with a thick layer of straw mats. Even Sister He from next door came over to ask. How can I know the reason? It's really weird!"
"Mom, why are you so surprised? It's just some weeds."
Huang Xinran comforted her, but he was alert in his heart.
She was forced to sneak out in the middle of the night to practice the Heart Sutra in a dense bush. Soon, when she was stimulating the growth of potatoes in the vegetable garden, her spiritual power suddenly doubled in size!
Wherever the spiritual power flowed, it brought a tingling sensation all over the body, an indescribable comfort that made Huang Xinran moan.
With her as the center, vegetables in an area the size of half a basketball court all grew wildly, quickly growing, bolting, blooming, bearing fruit, and then quickly aging. Only old stems and mature seeds remained in place.
When Huang Xinran came to his senses, he could only pinch his nose and put away the seeds. After Lao Geng collected them, he secretly set a fire...
After returning home, he called his mother over and asked her to help find the families whose vegetable plots were affected. He compensated each family 20 yuan, and the matter was considered settled.
The excuse used was that Liu Zhaodi had just arrived and was not familiar with the area, so she picked the wrong vegetables.
20 yuan for a piece of vegetables from a vegetable garden is a good deal no matter how you look at it. Moreover, they are all neighbors, and several families did not refuse and accepted it after a few words of comfort.
Only Aunt He confiscated it.
"It's just some greens, just pluck them. They're not worth much. Why would you pay for them? Take them back, take them back!"
"Just take the money you deserve. I can't let everyone else give and you stay away. Who knows what others will think if they find out." Liu Zhaodi insisted.
Only after Aunt He had no choice but to accept it did she go back.
However, she still found it strange.
When did Ranran go out last night, and why did she pull out all the vegetables from so many families?
That doesn't make sense!
Also, the weeds in the yard are growing wildly...
She pondered for a moment, all the past memories surging in her mind. After returning home, she did not ask Huang Xinran the reason.
Huang Xinran was afraid that she would ask, but when she didn't ask, she breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help but feel curious. Could it be that her mother had no curiosity?
Liu Zhaodi was indeed curious, but her daughter didn't say anything, and she naturally had her reasons.
She asked, what if it involves secrets?
After Huang Xinran's spiritual power reached a new level, she realized that if at the beginning, the spiritual power she cultivated was a small pond that could only hold as much water as the bottom of a bowl, then the spiritual power she cultivated later was half a bowl of water. And this breakthrough was probably full to the brim of the bowl.
When she used her spiritual power to heal her wounds, she could clearly feel the gentleness of the spiritual power flowing through the wounds, which gradually nourished her flesh and blood. The external injuries on her body had long disappeared. The pain in her broken bones also became less and less day by day. She could even clearly feel that her injuries were getting better.
She was so happy that she didn't tell anyone.
Lu Yunchen was very busy during this period.
However, whenever he came back, he would give Huang Xinran hot compresses and even find ways to bring her all kinds of nourishing things.
Huang Xinran didn’t know where he got all these good things from.
Lu Yunchen didn't say anything.
His correspondent Xiao Zhao also obeyed orders every few days and delivered vegetables and various daily necessities to the door. He was very serious about his work and had a sweet mouth. In less than three days, he was deeply loved by Zhang Wenbi and Liu Zhaodi.
On the contrary, Lu Yunqian would come to harass them from time to time.
After Huang Xinran had a miscarriage, she came over openly with her big belly. Her purpose was very clear, which was to make Huang Xinran keep the baby in her belly by his side.
Huang Xinran wouldn't even see her, and was always in a bad mood when they saw her.
Let Xiao Zhao kick those people out!
Lu Yunqian turned a blind eye and will come again next time!
Although Huang Xinran was very upset, she did not kill him for Lu Yunchen's sake, and let Xiao Zhao fight every time she saw him.
Because Liu Zhaodi took care of her diet and daily life, Zhang Wenbi stepped back automatically. Apart from sending slaughtered chickens, fish and other things here on time every day for her to replenish her body, she seldom prepared their meals and focused all her attention on the shop.
The shop’s daily income was also handed over to Huang Xinran when the vegetables were delivered.
The revenue on paper is relatively stable and even has the potential to continue to grow.
On the contrary, Liu Zhaodi turned her face away after coming back from going out one day.
"You opened a shop here too? Why didn't you tell mom?"
"Didn't I open one for my elder brother there?"
Huang Xinran laughed: "Mom, you can see that she gives me the account book and income every day, and I only give her the same salary as others every month. That's it, what else do you want to say?"
"Then you can't just ignore me!"
Liu Zhaodi was anxious, "Ranran, Mom knows you're married, and you definitely can't be the same as before.
But my husband’s family is rich, which is different from my parents’ family.
Your mother-in-law has several brothers. Now they are still capable, so let's not talk about them. If they get sick and old and can't work anymore, and leave a large sum of money for retirement, will you divide it among your brothers? Or will you divide it among your brothers?
Of course, you have to think it through!"
"Mom, don't listen to me, I'm sober!"
Huang Xinran covered his forehead and sighed, "At first, I wanted you to make clothes together and earn some pocket money. Later, we opened a shop in the city, hoping that everyone could be self-sufficient. But later, didn't my parents-in-law prefer to stay in the countryside? So I gave the shop to my eldest brother."
"You said, how many married daughters gave money to their brothers in their natal families to open shops, and their husbands' families had no complaints at all?"
"Mom, we have to put ourselves in others' shoes. People are made of flesh and blood. I will not forget you and dad, and of course, I will not ignore Yunchen's parents either."
She expressed her opinion.
Parents cannot treat their children equally, and as daughters and daughters-in-law, they certainly cannot treat their parents and parents-in-law equally. She just tries to strike a balance.
"But, but I... I'm free!"
Liu Zhaodi stammered, "I said I wanted to go back, but you guys couldn't leave and couldn't send me back. I'll stay here to take care of you during your confinement, and I'm too free."
"You are not idle, you saw others making money, and you are jealous of them!"
Huang Xinran hit the nail on the head.
Liu Zhaodi laughed foolishly.
Shaking his head, Huang Xinran thought for a moment before saying, "Since you can't stay idle, let's do this. I'll find something for you to do. But you have to think it over. Once I've made the arrangements, you can't keep saying you want to go back. Otherwise, I'll be doing you a favor in vain."
"Don't worry, I will do my best and will never embarrass you!"
Liu Zhaodi patted her chest and made a promise.
