She guessed right; someone really did have a financial dispute with Mr. Zhang, the machine seller, which is why his machines were confiscated.
Ye Ran then called Boss Zhang and told him what had happened.
Mr. Zhang apologized repeatedly and promised to resolve the matter immediately and deliver the machine to her as soon as possible.
Ye Ran gave him a few more gentle but firm words before hanging up the phone.
She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and then suddenly missed Lu Yi.
Thinking that this was a normal pregnancy reaction, Ye Ran didn't try to suppress her emotions, but simply stood up and turned around twice.
Suddenly, she remembered that she could go see Su Ji; it had been almost two months since they last saw each other.
Recently, Su Ji, along with his master and senior brother, have been staying in the western suburbs tending to their farm and haven't visited the Lu family for a long time.
Ye Ran and the others were busy and didn't visit them, only occasionally sending them some things.
Those who visited said that the three of them, master and apprentice, had adapted to farm life and were living quite comfortably.
Just as Ye Ran was thinking about going to see Su Ji, she saw someone carrying a large bag come in.
Ye Ran blinked, then suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, "Su Ji?!"
Su Ji smiled, revealing her dazzling white teeth. "Ah! Ye Ran, are you home alone? Where's Lu Yi? Isn't he keeping you company?"
Ye Ran was dizzy from the sight of his pearly white teeth. "Yes, he's busy, you..."
Su Ji casually put down the bag, then picked up an apple from the table and took a bite. "So refreshing! The apples here are really different."
What were you about to say? Me? What happened to me?
Ye Ran hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help pointing at his face, "Did you go to Africa to escape famine? Why are you so dark-skinned?"
Su Ji took another bite of the apple, seemingly unconcerned. "Ah! It's so sunny! My master and I have been planting vegetables in the fields every day lately."
"After two months of tanning, I've gotten this tanned, but I think it's okay; I'm not unrecognizable."
Ye Ran looked at him silently. "Yes, I can still see a little bit, but only a little bit..."
Su Ji smiled, bent down, and opened the bag he had brought. "Let's not talk about that. These are the bok choy we recently grew."
Although I know you don't lack these, I still want you to try them.
Looking at the fresh and crisp bok choy in the bag, Ye Ran couldn't help but feel happy. "Thank you so much! We'll stir-fry it for dinner tonight."
At this, Su Ji's eyes lit up. "Then I'll stay for dinner tonight too. I haven't had this in so long, I've missed it so much."
Ye Ran couldn't help but look at him with pity, "Have you not eaten any meat lately?"
Su Ji shook her head, "No! My master and the others are eating with me!"
I was indeed worried that they would stick to the rule against eating meat.
As it turned out, my senior brother said that our temple is different from ordinary Buddhist temples, and that we have never said that eating meat is forbidden.
The reason they don't eat meat in the mountains is because the animals there are believed to possess spirituality, which is why they shouldn't be eaten.
But most of the animals down the mountain don't have any spirituality, so they can eat them. However, they still won't eat dogs, which do have a spiritual nature.
Ye Ran was speechless for a long time, "Are you... monks or not?"
Su Ji nodded naturally, "Half and half, I'm here today to show off my newly learned skills."
Ye Ran looked at him curiously, "What?"
Su Ji smiled mysteriously, "Have you been particularly prone to mood swings lately? That's why I came here..."
