Chapter 332 I heard that I am the best (19)
When Zhou Shichu and Zhou Shiwan were leaving Li's house with their luggage, they saw the lush and growing vegetables and fruits in the Li's vegetable garden. She felt very distressed. If she had known that she would divorce Li Wei so soon, she would definitely not plant so many vegetables and leave them to Li Wei and Li Ji. It would be better to let them be eaten by dogs!
Moreover, the braised dishes and buns she made could not be made without the necessary spices, and these spices were all in the vegetable garden, so Zhou Shichu immediately said to Aunt Qian: "I need to remove some of the vegetables in this vegetable garden. After all, I collected the seeds and seedlings before, so it's not too much for me to remove them, right?"
"It's not too much, not too much!" Aunt Qian would of course not have any objection. After all, she just put in some effort to help grow the vegetables, but the seeds and seedlings were indeed provided by Zhou Shichu, and she also taught him how to plant, how to fertilize, and how to prevent pests. Aunt Qian had no confidence to stop her from moving them away.
"I don't allow it! These are all my vegetables! No one wants you, a bad woman, so how dare you ask for my things?" Upon hearing this, Li Ji immediately shouted loudly and disobeyed.
"Your stuff? You are the one who is shameless, aren't you?" Zhou Shichu snorted and rolled his eyes. "This vegetable garden was built bit by bit by me and Aunt Qian. You never touched it. How dare you say it's yours?"
"Even if I destroy it, I will never leave it for an ungrateful person like you to eat!" Zhou Shichu said as he glanced at Li Ji who was jumping with anger.
At this time, Li Wei finally spoke up: "Li Ji! Shut up!"
Then he said to Zhou Shichu: "Since you are the one who got it, of course you can take it away. No one will stop you."
Zhou Shichu nodded: "When I have finished tidying up the backyard of my house, I will come and take it away. I hope that by then no one will say that I am taking advantage of you."
After saying that, Zhou Shichu carried Zhou Shiwan onto the donkey cart and drove away.
Li Wei watched the two of them leave with a very complicated expression, not knowing what to feel in his heart. If it was the previous Zhou Shichu, he would naturally be happy to get a divorce, but now this Zhou Shichu has changed a lot. Not only can he drive a donkey cart, he can also open a food shop and cook delicious food. He never knew that Zhou Shichu also had talents in business and cooking.
However, the divorce has already been finalized, and there is no point in dwelling on it. What worries Li Wei more is Li Ji's education. Li Ji now looks like an uneducated dandy. Although he is only nine years old, a nine-year-old child is already considered a little adult. What's more, Li Ji has grown to be almost as tall as a week old due to adequate nutrition.
If he is not educated, he will be really ruined. Li Wei himself is a rough man. He learned to write from a military advisor when he became a soldier, so he knows nothing about educating children.
Does he really have to find another well-educated, sensible, and capable woman to be his wife? Li Wei rubbed his swollen forehead and thought, but how could such a woman be interested in him?
Zhou Shichu had no idea about Li Wei’s dilemma. Leaving the Li family was a new beginning for her and she was very happy about it.
She and Zhou Shiwan were temporarily living in the Jinyu Food Store. She thought about the original design of the store, with a shop in front and a house in the back, with the front for selling goods and the back for living. Zhou Shichu had previously used the house in the back as a workshop for the store's employees, so it would be okay to separate a small room for the two sisters to live in.
But the issue of buying a house has to be put on the agenda. After all, this house is too small and Zhou Shichu is not comfortable living in it. She is used to enjoying it, and now she can make money in a legitimate way, so she doesn't want to let herself suffer.
This shop was bought with Zhou Shichu's own money, so it is impossible for him to leave it to the Li family. Li Ji was very envious of Zhou Shichu's shop and had thought about shamelessly competing with Zhou Shichu for it, but it was useless for him to be envious, after all, it was his father Li Wei who had the final say. Li Wei was not so shameless and naturally reprimanded Li Ji.
The next morning, Zhou Shichu told his employees to work as usual, and went out to look for the broker to help him find a house to sell.
The broker had a wide network of contacts and Zhou Shichu was very generous, so they quickly found a nice house with two entrances, which was big enough for the two sisters to live in. What Zhou Shichu liked most was that the backyard of the small house was very large, which meant that there was more space for growing vegetables. It was even bigger than Li's house. When Zhou Shichu saw the backyard, she decided to take the house without saying a word. The broker was so happy that he was overjoyed. Who wouldn't be happy to meet such a straightforward customer?
Now that they had a place to stay, Zhou Shichu took Zhou Shiwan to clean up the newly bought house, bought some furniture, and moved in.
"Sister, is this where we will live in the future?" Zhou Shiwan asked with sparkling eyes, looking at the spacious and bright house that they had tidied up themselves, with caution and expectation in her eyes.
Zhou Shichu was stunned, remembering that this sister had been living with the original owner in the Li family since her parents passed away, becoming an invisible person, living under someone else's roof.
She would be bullied by Li Ji from time to time. She was just a little child and even her own sister didn't care about her. How could she not be frightened and worried all day long?
It was only after she became the original owner that he took her with him in everything, allowing her to gradually become cheerful.
This time she divorced Li Wei and moved out of the Li family. She must have been worried again, but she was sensible enough not to say it out loud and make her sister worry. She only asked her sister cautiously in disbelief when she found out that her sister bought a house of their own.
Zhou Shichu looked at her anxious eyes, nodded, and said, "Yes, this is the house your sister bought with her own money. It belongs only to us sisters, and no one can drive us out of here."
Zhou Shiwan's eyes suddenly burst into dazzling light, just like the sun that broke free from the clouds after a summer rainstorm, instantly emitting a light that people dared not look directly at. She said happily, "That's great! This is my sister and I's house, so I'm not a burden anymore, right?"
"Who said you are a burden? You are my sister and the mistress of this family." Zhou Shichu said to her solemnly.
Zhou Shiwan smiled brightly: "I knew it. I am the master. Li Ji said that I am a burden, but I am not."
It's Li Ji again! Zhou Shichu really hates him. "Don't worry about Li Ji. When his father marries a new wife, he will know who is the real burden."
"Yeah!" Zhou Shiwan didn't know whether she understood what her sister said or not. She was already walking around the house happily.
Zhou Shichu followed her and said, "Now there are only two of us sisters in this house. You can choose a room you like and decorate it as you like."
