Chapter 46: Legitimately Expanding the Greenhouse
"Let's go to the hospital first, and then come back to settle the score with their family!" Song Yangming said gritting his teeth.
Just now, his hand was in so much pain, and the fear brought by paralysis made him unable to think for a while. Now that he calmed down, he felt that this matter was full of weirdness.
Chi Wan has always been full of ideas since she was young. What if she has done something secretly this time just to scare him?
Although Song Yangming felt somewhat uneasy, he was even more unwilling to admit that after what had just happened, he actually developed some fear-like emotions towards Chi Wan.
Song Yangming kept comforting himself: As long as he went to the hospital, he would naturally find out what Chi Wan had done to him, and maybe he could even find some evidence against her.
Zhou Huaijin, who witnessed all this, hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Is he... okay?"
Song Yangming looked really scary just now, but strangely, as soon as he walked out of Chi Wan's yard, he seemed to be fine again and could walk on his own.
This made Zhou Huaijin unable to judge whether this person was pretending or not.
Grandpa Zhou Huaijin had a very high filter for Chi Wan, but he didn't seem to be worried at all. He smiled and said, "Wan Wan doesn't look like someone who would do anything reckless. Didn't that person walk away just fine? But Wan Wan, how did you do that just now?"
Chi Wan had already thought of a countermeasure when he unscrupulously threatened Song Yangming in front of the grandfather and grandson.
Hearing this, she patted her chest in fear and said, "I... I used a thin needle dipped in datura juice to prick his tendons. Senior brother, it's a good thing you were here today, otherwise I don't know how they would bully me if I was alone at home."
That somewhat frightened little expression, as if the way she threatened Song Yangming before was all forced, made her look even more pitiful.
Grandpa Zhou Huaijin suddenly understood. He felt sorry for Yu Chi Wan who had to face the malice from her family at such a young age, but he also admired her for her calmness in the face of danger.
Before, they only saw Song Yangming and Chi Wan entangled, and did not see clearly what happened between them.
Zhou Huaijin was also worried that Chi Wan would get hurt, so he was only focused on separating the two and did not notice what she did.
Now that the old man had listened to her explanation, he found it reasonable - as for where the mandragora came from and why Chi Wan had a needle on his body, there was no need to ask too much about these details. Didn't you see that the girl was exhausted after holding on until now?
"You live on this mountain. What if they come up here again? It's not safe."
At this moment, Mr. Zhou forgot why he had rushed Zhou Huaijin over here, and instead began to worry about Chi Wan's situation.
Chi Wan just smiled and didn't explain that this family of three had been put on the smell blacklist of the circle of thorn bushes guarding the foot of the mountain. If they come again next time, it won’t be so easy to get up the mountain.
She changed the subject lightly: "Don't worry about me, I have a way to solve it. Grandpa Zhou, don't you want to go see your Suguan Heding?"
Old Master Zhou guessed that Chi Wan said this because she didn't want to trouble him, so he sighed softly, glanced at Zhou Huaijin with a look of regret, and then nodded and said, "Go away, you haven't seen my orchid for a week, and I miss it so much."
Zhou Huaijin was inexplicably caught by the old man's gaze, and had no way to explain himself. He could only follow Chi Wan obediently into her flower room.
This was the empty room that Chi Wan had specifically asked to be reserved when Li Xingye was expanding the house. It was specifically used to store orchids. Even if Li Xingye had special abilities and would not let anything happen to the flowers, he couldn't just leave the Suguan Dinghe on the ground outside.
If Mr. Zhou saw it, it would really destroy our trust.
The pot of lush golden horsetail was naturally moved in as well.
Although there were only two pots of flowers in the whole room, for Mr. Zhou, who was obsessed with orchids, he could not care about anything else just by seeing the Suguan Lotus Tripod.
He walked around the flower several times, looked at each leaf carefully, and looked at the delicate petals with ecstasy. He took pictures of the flower from all angles while admiring it, and only then did he straighten up with satisfaction.
He shook his head and sighed, "Although I like orchids, I really don't have any talent in growing flowers. It was a coincidence that I took over this Suguan Lotus Ding from a friend. I didn't expect it to be almost destroyed in my hands. Wanwan, you really helped grandpa a lot."
Zhou Huaijin was listening on the side, and luckily he managed not to expose his own grandfather.
He looked at Mr. Zhou who was sincere and seemed to be hesitant to speak: Can your words be summed up as lack of talent? Mr. Zhou's fate is simply to be incompatible with orchids.
Orchids that are growing well at other people's homes will always have unexpected problems once they are brought home due to one problem or another.
So much so that later the old man didn't dare to take care of the orchids himself, and handed everything over to his eldest grandson who knew more about various plants.
Even though Zhou Huaijin explained again and again that he studied agronomy and that growing orchids had nothing to do with it, the old man simply wouldn't listen. Not only did she hand it over to him, but she also scolded him when he failed to take care of the child. Otherwise, Zhou Huaijin would not have regarded Chi Wan as a life-saving straw.
If Chi Wan knew that Mr. Zhou's fate was to kill flowers as he grew them, maybe they would have more common topics to talk about.
After appreciating the Suguan Heding, Mr. Zhou was not disdainful of the low price of the Golden Horsetail Orchid. Instead, he was more impressed: "It must have taken a lot of effort to grow this Golden Horsetail Orchid like this. I have seen many orchid growers who are utilitarian and only think that expensive flowers are good.
"But how could these flowers know that people have divided them into different levels? They just keep blooming, blooming brilliantly and beautifully, and their life in this world is not in vain. Wanwan, you have not wasted your orchid cultivation."
Chi Wan was surprised.
From these words, we can feel that Mr. Zhou is indeed a flower lover. But his evaluation of himself made Chi Wan, a thoroughly vulgar person, feel a little embarrassed.
She waved her hand and said, "Grandpa Zhou, I am almost blushing because of your praise. If you really like it, I will give you this golden horsetail. I think that orchids will bloom more brilliantly when they meet someone who knows how to appreciate them."
Although Mr. Zhou was delighted, he still refused calmly: "This flower will grow better if it stays with you."
He looked the tree house up and down and nodded: "Your house is good, it's most suitable for growing flowers. Do you want to turn it into a greenhouse? In this way, I have a few good orchids. I will ask Huai Jin to bring them to you someday. If you see a suitable one, you can divide it directly. It can also be regarded as a thank you for helping me save the flowers."
Chi Wan blinked, thinking that this was really a pillow given to her when she was sleepy. She had been thinking about how to legitimately expand the variety of orchids in the greenhouse, and the old man immediately gave her a ready-made reason.
The old man said that the orchids were good, so Chi Wan was naturally looking forward to it.
