Chapter 75 Looking for Trouble
"I also think these oranges are too expensive, but they belong to me. They can sell them as much as they want. It's not my business to control that."
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "Besides, if it wasn't delicious, you wouldn't be asking about it so eagerly, right? If it can make people so obsessed with it, it must have its value."
This orange is really worthless to her, and there is still a large piece of it in the space.
She picked some, but there were still twenty or thirty trees left. The orange trees that had been picked were now beginning to bloom. Given that crops in space grew faster than those outside, it wouldn't be long before they could be picked and eaten again.
She has no problem giving away dozens of baskets.
But why should I give it to her to eat?
The key point is, she is obviously full of spiritual energy and eats sugar oranges that are good for the body. But she still looks down on her as if she is just eating a few sour oranges. She will not tolerate such people.
Gu felt that every word Jiang Tangtang said was an excuse and an insinuation. She was so angry that she covered her stomach and screamed, "Ah! My stomach hurts so much. What did you give me to eat?"
Jiang Tangtang was shocked by her reaction. Although she guessed that she was deliberately making trouble because she did not agree to his request, she was a pregnant woman after all, so she did not dare to be careless.
She hurriedly called Xue Banxian and said, "Divine Doctor Xue, please come and take a look at Sister-in-law Xia. What's wrong?"
Doctor Xue had a full meal and was taking a nap in his room. He was very unhappy when Jiang Tangtang woke him up.
"You little girl, I'm not your servant, you can't order me around all day long."
Although he was full of complaints, he finally came over to take Gu's pulse.
Gu was simply furious and wanted to cause trouble for Jiang Tangtang, forgetting that Jiang Tangtang had a doctor at home. Feeling guilty, she wanted to leave immediately, but she was unwilling to give up. She howled, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. What's the point of letting a man like you take my pulse? Are you deliberately trying to ruin my reputation?"
Jiang Tangtang suppressed her anger and said, "I was inconsiderate. Just wait, I'll go get some silk thread from my room and diagnose your pulse like the ladies in the palace. Don't worry, my doctor is a genius from the Divine Doctor Valley. His medical skills are as good as those of the imperial physicians in the palace. I guarantee you'll get a clear diagnosis."
"No... no need! It doesn't hurt that much now! Maybe I'm too tired. I'll just go back and rest."
Gu was so nervous that she wanted to go out, but Jiang Tangtang would never let her go back like that.
Mrs. Gu didn't get any advantage and was feeling unhappy. She didn't know how to frame her when she got back.
She went over to support Gu and said, "You are already tired and not feeling well. If you walk back again, what will happen on the way? How will I explain to my aunt?"
As he said this, he raised his voice and asked Su to help pull the donkey cart over, helped Gu onto the donkey cart, and gave her a ride.
Wang Lachun was picking vegetables in the vegetable patch at the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Jiang Tangtang personally driving the donkey cart to bring his daughter-in-law back, he immediately put down his work and hurried over to ask, "What happened?"
Without waiting for Gu to speak, Jiang Tangtang kept apologizing, "It's all my fault. My sister-in-law came to my house to play, and I didn't take good care of her."
As he spoke, he took out a plate of strawberries from the basket and said, "Sister-in-law said she has a poor appetite, but we've run out of oranges at home. These are the wild berries I picked in the mountains. If you still have no appetite, you can try them. If you like them, I'll send them back next time. I dug up a few seedlings and planted them at home. They're growing well."
Although she didn't say a word about Gu coming to her to ask for oranges, Wang Lachun knew what was going on, knowing his wife's personality.
This short-sighted guy must have missed a pancake at noon, so he felt unhappy and went to the Lu family to make trouble!
People had no oranges to give her, so they could only use wild berries from the mountains to fill her mouth.
Wang Lachun glared at his daughter-in-law, then turned to Jiang Tangtang and said with a smile, "How could our country women be so precious when they were pregnant? Her eldest and second sisters-in-law were still working in the fields when they were pregnant! They do nothing all day long, so how could they have so many problems? Take these wild berries back and feed them to the children!"
Jiang Tangtang said, "This isn't some precious thing, Auntie, please don't be polite to me."
Wang Lachun was about to refuse, but Jiang Tangtang said, "Actually, I'm not just giving these wild berries to Third Sister-in-law. I have another idea in mind that I want to discuss with Manager Xia. But you guys should try the wild berries first, and we can discuss it after you've tasted them."
Wang Lachun saw that the wild fruit on the plate looked very nice and exuded a sweet fruity fragrance. He had some guesses about what Jiang Tangtang wanted to discuss. He did not refuse, accepted the fruit, and sent Jiang Tangtang away with kind words.
As for the fruit, he did not give it to Gu. Instead, he waited for Manager Xia to come back, washed the fruit and gave it to him, and repeated to him what Jiang Tangtang had said today.
"I don't get tired of looking at this fruit. Jiang's child seems to be smart. I'm afraid he has seen the business opportunity and wants to plant this fruit in the field."
Manager Xia ate a strawberry and had to admit in his heart that the daughter-in-law of the Lu family was a bit lucky.
He had been in Zhounan Village for decades and had never seen fruit of such good quality, and she had unexpectedly encountered it.
Even he, a man who doesn't like snacks, could hardly stop eating these wild berries.
It is conceivable that if this fruit is grown and sent to restaurants in the city or to wealthy families, it will sell very well.
He said, "Since she specifically sent the fruit here, I'm afraid it's not as simple as growing it herself."
"What do you mean, old man?" Wang Lachun asked.
Manager Xia savored the sweet aroma in his mouth and said, "Although she is young, she is very tactful and sensible. I'm afraid she wants to find a partner with us and share some of the benefits with us."
Thinking about Jiang Tangtang's behavior these days, Wang Lachun said, "Speaking of which, it's the Third Daughter-in-law who's wrong. She's already so understanding, but she's still so eager to come to her house and ask for benefits. How can she be so shameless? We're not a shameless family like the Lei family."
Manager Xia pulled a long face and said, "Tell the third brother to take good care of the people in the room. If he can't do it, send her back to her parents' home and let her in-laws take care of her."
Wang Lachun was already dissatisfied with this lazy and short-sighted daughter-in-law. After hearing the man's words, she no longer hesitated and called her son to teach him a lesson.
Gu waited in the room for a long time, but she didn't see her parents-in-law retaliate against Jiang, nor did she receive any wild berries from Jiang as an apology. Instead, she was scolded by the man and almost died of anger. Her resentment towards Jiang Tangtang deepened.
Jiang Tangtang didn't care whether Gu was resentful or not.
Jiang Tangtang had seen too many people like her. Regardless of whether she met her demands or not, she was dissatisfied with her in her heart.
If she meets her demands this time, she will become more demanding and make even more excessive demands next time.
Instead of getting entangled with her, it is better to throw out the bait directly and discuss cooperation with Manager Xia.
