Chapter 471 A Family of纨绔 (Wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute family) Causes the Death of the Entire Court (24)
Jin Shu had no idea what kind of fruit these seedlings would produce.
In short, no matter what, take good care of her and raise her well; she'll definitely come in handy in the future.
The next day, Jin Shu got ready early in the morning, picked up her small basket and hoe, and went straight to the small garden behind the Begonia Garden.
This garden was a favorite summer retreat for the Jin family, as it was lush with vegetation and shady trees. Madam Jin had a pavilion built with ventilation on all four sides, which could keep out some mosquitoes without affecting airflow.
There used to be many flowers and plants here, which was Madam Jin's favorite place to stay. However, due to the recent hot weather that has not cooled down for a long time, these seasonal flowers and plants, which are already delicate, have withered and died in large areas. Madam Jin was heartbroken for a while, but in the end, she had no choice but to send people to clean up these dead flowers and plants.
Now that this land is vacant and idle anyway, Jin Shu might as well fill it in.
Early morning is the coolest time of day, and Jin Shu couldn't see clearly herself, so she immediately called for help.
"Brother, clean up all the rubble and dirt on here."
What are you planning to plant this time?
"Plant some fruit trees."
"Fruit trees? What about your trees?"
Jin Shu turned around and pointed to the seedlings on her cart.
"Here you go."
Jin Shouan glanced at it, then sighed helplessly.
"Good sister, you don't understand these things, I don't blame you."
But there's something I have to tell you: it takes at least five years for a sapling to grow into a tree.
It takes three years for a tree to bear fruit.
In other words, even if you plant it now and take good care of it, it will take you eight or nine years to harvest the fruit.
Are you sure you still want to plant it?
He doesn't understand farming.
Jin Shou'an had some understanding of these flowers and plants because he usually took care of them.
So when he heard that Jin Shutian really wanted to plant these seedlings, he felt both helpless and amused.
"Do you still want to plant it now?"
"want."
Okay, okay, so this guy didn't listen to a word he said.
Oh well, I might as well plant some. I'm just idling around anyway. As long as I don't have to read, anything is interesting.
Jin Shou'an worked diligently to clear the wasteland, and then, as Jin Shu had instructed, watered the entire garden twice.
Finally, the garden was divided into four areas, and the seedlings were planted according to Jin Shu's instructions.
After finishing all that, Jin Shouan's clothes were dirty again.
However, he was enjoying himself. Although he knew that the day of the result was far away, he still carefully followed Jin Shu's instructions, planting the seedlings, covering them with a thin layer of soil, and then pouring in several large buckets of water.
It was quite strange that despite the large amount of water poured in, not a drop of water overflowed from the soil. These seemingly unremarkable seedlings appeared to be drinking water voraciously. Jin Shou'an watched as they transformed from wilted seedlings when they were first planted into vibrant green leaves and full of life.
"Where did you buy these fruit seedlings? They look so vibrant!"
Jin Shu walked barefoot into the soil, slowly adding soil around each fruit seedling without looking up.
"I bought the seeds and planted them myself."
"This will take quite a while; you actually have that much patience."
Jin Shu used to be unable to stick to anything for long, and the three Jin siblings were all pretty much the same in this respect.
Jin Shouan looked at Jin Shu closely, and felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity in his heart.
“Little sister, I’ve never seen you interested in these things before.”
Jin Shu's expression was calm, and her tone was natural.
"Oh, I just discovered I'm interested in this by chance."
"Little sister, I haven't seen you going out to play with your girlfriends lately. What's wrong? Are you having a fight?"
Jin Shu nodded.
"Yeah, behind my back they call me a good-for-nothing, a spoiled brat, and a gluttonous idiot. They say they only hang out with me to take advantage of me."
So I don't want to play with them anymore.
"When did this happen?! How dare they bully you like this! Who said that? I'll get someone to teach her a lesson this afternoon!"
Jin Shu remained indifferent.
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together; there's no need to get angry with those people."
"I had no idea they had bullied you like this. No wonder you've changed so much lately..."
There's no point in fooling idiots.
Jin Shu ignored him and continued tending to her orchard.
"Oh, by the way, have you visited your younger sister recently?"
Little sister, Jin Qi, the youngest daughter of the Jin family.
She was intellectually disabled from a young age. Shortly after she was born, when Madam Jin went to the temple to offer incense, the abbot told her that her youngest daughter had lost a wisp of her soul and that she would probably never be able to live like an ordinary person.
Since then, Madam Jin has been worried every day. In the end, just as the abbot said, Jin Qi's mind seemed to have stagnated since he was six years old. Now at sixteen, he is still as innocent and carefree as a six-year-old child.
The whole family dotes on this youngest child the most.
The original owner was the same.
However, in the original story, the naive Jin Qi was very dependent on Jin Chuyao, because Jin Chuyao often took Jin Qi out to play after entering the mansion after her rebirth.
Over time, Jin Qi began to treat Jin Chuyao even more affectionately than he would treat his own mother and sister.
In the end, the entire Jin family was beheaded, and poor Jin Qi kept calling out to Jin Chuyao, "Sister."
Unexpectedly, Jin Chuyao didn't even glance at her.
The reason why Jin Chuyao also harbors hatred towards Jin Qi is because in the first life, Madam Jin abandoned her and chose the mentally challenged Jin Qi.
Therefore, in this second life, Jin Chuyao only wants to make Madam Jin experience the pain of losing her children.
Thinking of his younger sister, Jin Shouan sighed.
“Normally, a girl her age would be looking for a husband.”
But yesterday, Aqi fell from a tree while trying to catch a bird, and suffered a head injury that bled profusely. Now she's too afraid to even leave the house.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, we were busy in the fields yesterday and didn't notice. It was too late when we got back, so Mom didn't tell you."
I heard it from my servant this morning.
I just went to check on Aqi in her yard, and she threw a cup at me, causing it to fall out.
Jin Shouan looked worried and distressed.
He genuinely loved his younger sister, but she was unpredictable in her attitude towards him, sometimes calling him "brother" and sometimes "bad guy," causing his heart to fluctuate wildly, leaving him feeling bitter and embarrassed.
"Then we'll go take a look together in a bit."
"Forget it, that little brat only recognizes his cousin now, and he won't let anyone else near him. If you go, you might get your cup smashed too."
Jin Shu, however, didn't care at all.
"Children misbehave mostly because they are spoiled."
"What can we do? Her parents can't bear to scold or beat her. She's such a poor little girl, we can only cherish her and hold her in our hands."
"What to do? Beat them up, then."
