Chapter 609 Sweet Watermelon
Wang Zhi heard only half of what was being said, then heard someone mention childbirth, and rushed over.
Wan Qiqi: "..."
Indeed, whether in modern or ancient times, mothers-in-law are most persistent about having children!
Wang Zhi put down the teapot and carefully examined Wan Qiqi. "Are you pregnant again? How many months along? Why are you still so thin? Have you been so busy with business that you forgot to eat...?"
She asked several questions in a row, leaving Wan Qiqi unsure which to answer first.
Chen Yongnian sat next to Wan Qiqi, but Wang Zhi didn't even glance at him, her eyes fixed on her daughter-in-law.
"Mother, Qiqi isn't pregnant. It was just that my second sister-in-law brought it up." Chen Yongnian said helplessly.
"Not pregnant?" Wang Zhi was slightly surprised, then smiled and sat down with Wan Qiqi in her hand. "It's good that it's not bad. If Qiqi were pregnant, she would suffer. She needs to take good care of herself."
As she spoke, she suddenly patted Chen Yongnian, her smile fading, and said seriously, "I'm telling you, you're not allowed to bully Qiqi until she recovers."
Wan Qiqi burst out laughing.
She noticed that Wang Zhi's personality had also changed somewhat; she was no longer as gentle as before.
Chen Yongnian expressed his grievance, saying that he hadn't touched it for a year and yet he still got beaten up.
He stared at Wan Qiqi with a pitiful look, wanting comfort, but was met with a disdainful glare from Wang Zhi.
The others who saw it couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Mother, Yongnian didn't bully me. I will take good care of myself. You should also take good care of yourself at home. I want to take you out to see the world in the future!"
Wan Qiqi squeezed Wang Zhi's hand back, revealing a look of longing.
"Okay, okay..." Wang Zhi didn't know how much longer she could live, but seeing that life was getting better and better, she felt much more at ease.
If there's anything to worry about, it's Wan Qiqi's business dealings outside.
"Qiqi, let me say a few words. When you do business outside, be careful not to provoke others or do anything crooked. Although the Chen family is poor, they are honest and upright in their dealings. I hope that when you go out to do business, you can do the same."
"Okay, I understand!" Wan Qiqi replied, then, fearing that Wang Zhi would continue to nag, she quickly changed the subject, "Yongxing, how are the vegetables growing in the wasteland?"
Chen Yongxing scratched his head, somewhat at a loss for words when asked, "Um... I..."
He didn't know how to answer, because he had never seen anything like what had grown there before, and he didn't know if it was growing correctly or if there was a problem.
So he took Wan Qiqi and Chen Yongnian directly to the wasteland.
The chili pepper plant is growing lushly, with red, green, and some half-red, half-green peppers hanging on the branches, looking particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
Wan Qiqi was very satisfied with this and felt that she was about to become rich!
Besides, the cucumbers grew strong and healthy, the tomatoes hung heavily on the branches, and there was a patch of green watermelons on the ground.
When Wan Qiqi saw these things, her eyes lit up as if she were seeing money.
Chen Yongnian followed, looking somewhat bewildered at the vegetables planted in the garden.
"There are red things hanging on it, can we eat them?" He guessed that they must be ripe fruits, but he didn't know how to eat them.
"It should be." Wan Qiqi agreed, but inwardly she was screaming: Definitely! Try eating a green tomato, it'll be so sour it'll kill you!
She picked a bright red tomato and tossed it to Chen Yongnian.
Chen Yongnian hesitated for a moment, wiped it on his clothes, and took a bite.
It has a sour taste mixed with a sweet taste, and there's also a strange taste.
Chen Yongnian felt that this thing was a bit hard to describe, making him wonder if it was really eaten like this.
Wan Qiqi, however, didn't notice. She picked one and started eating it while observing the other vegetables that weren't yet ripe.
Seeing them picking and eating the "red fruits," Chen Yongxing casually picked the "red fruits" next to him as well.
When Wan Qiqi saw Chen Yongxing's actions, she was about to stop him when he had already put the chili pepper into his mouth.
She quickly covered her face, unable to bear looking at it.
"Ah! It's so spicy! What is this? Why is it so spicy!" Chen Yongxing exclaimed, sticking out his tongue. "Sister-in-law, is this poisonous? You've planted so much; you're losing money!"
Wan Qiqi facepalmed, unable to bear the sight. "This is a dish; it needs to be stir-fried."
She walked to the watermelon patch, tapped the watermelons, picked one, carried it to Chen Yongnian, and handed it to him, saying, "Here, use your strength to crack this watermelon open."
Chen Yongnian was somewhat puzzled, but he still took it and placed it on the stone, preparing to smash it with a punch to show his wife how strong he was.
Before he could even make a move, he was struck by Wan Qiqi's palm.
"Be gentle, what will we eat if we smash it?"
Chen Yongnian scratched his head, looking somewhat aggrieved, and lowered his strength before smashing the watermelon, but it was still inevitable that some of the watermelon would be broken.
The bright red flesh was revealed, immediately attracting Wan Qiqi, who picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
The Chen brothers never expected Wan Qiqi to be so brave, daring to eat anything she didn't recognize. What if it was poisonous?
Wan Qiqi, however, ate with great pleasure.
Sure enough, the improved seeds I bought from the mall tasted amazing when grown.
While she was enjoying her meal, she noticed two people staring at her, looking as if they were about to catch her.
"What are you all standing there for? Eat some watermelon! It's super sweet." Wan Qiqi said, handing a piece to Chen Yongxing. "Who told you to stuff everything in your mouth? Have a piece of watermelon to calm down."
"Watermelon?" The two brothers looked at Wan Qiqi suspiciously.
Wan Qiqi suddenly realized that she had spoken too quickly and blurted out the name of the watermelon!
He cursed himself inwardly, but kept smiling. "That's right! This melon is grown in the west, so let's call it a watermelon!"
