Chapter 211: Chapter 211

"Mom, what do you think?" Zhao Xuran turned to ask Zhan Jing about this professional matter. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel•fire.net

"I think it works." Zhan Jing was startled by Gong Ruini’s proposal. Right, she had thought of artificial cultivation but lacked manpower. How could she not have thought of such a simple method?

It wouldn’t require much labor, and the harvest would surprise everyone.

The more Zhan Jing thought about it, the more she felt this method was good, "Let’s do it this way, and I’ll find a way to get more seeds."

The more she thought about it, the more urgent it felt; spring was so short, and missing the season would delay many things, especially since she couldn’t say when she’d give birth.

"I need to go to the county." This matter required her to go herself; otherwise, no one could help settle it.

What, Zhan Jing was going to the county? It shocked everyone; "No, no," Hua Miaozhu was the first to react. How could they let Zhan Jing go to the county?

It was really a joke; considering the time, although the due date hadn’t arrived, her daughter was pregnant with twins and highly likely to give birth early. The journey would be exhausting; what if labor pains started halfway?

In the middle of nowhere with low temperatures, how would she give birth halfway? Even if Zhan Jing’s body was fairly okay, Hua Miaozhu couldn’t let her take such a risk.

Hua Miaozhu wasn’t unaware that her daughter and the others were discussing how to earn money.

Sure, earning money is important, but is it more important than giving birth?

Don’t they know how dangerous childbirth can be? It’s like a round trip to the gates of hell; even with all the preparations at home, something could still go wrong, let alone giving birth outside.

Zhao Xuran also disapproved in various ways, "Mom, earning money isn’t more important than having a brother."

"Right, right, Aunt Zhan, we can miss out on making money, but you must take care of yourself." Gong Ruini was really shocked, how could she encounter such a spirited Aunt?

If Aunt Zhan goes out and nothing happens, it’s fine. But if something does happen, the idea came from her, and Gong Ruini wouldn’t know how to face the Zhao family father and son.

In short, they couldn’t let Zhan Jing go out alone; this matter wasn’t to be taken lightly.

As for Zhao Gang, Gong Ruini didn’t believe that the one who listened to everything his wife said would be able to stop her.

The final result was that even Zhao Gang voiced various objections, "Honey, we can avoid making money; you can’t go out."

Recently, Zhao Gang had already heightened his alertness, fearing that his wife might give birth early. How could he let her go out?

"Isn’t it just going out for seeds? Tell me who to find, and I’ll go."

"The other side might not accept you." If Zhao Gang could, why would Zhan Jing be willing to take such a risk? She’s a mother; why would she want to take her child on such a risk? Precisely because the other side might not accept Zhao Gang.

"Not accept? Then we won’t plant, we’ll continue farming." Zhao Gang resolutely declared he couldn’t allow Zhan Jing to go out.

Wow, Uncle Zhao actually has a manly moment , Gong Ruini expressed she had never seen Zhao Gang so MAN before, but well done.

Looking at the tense expressions of the kids and men, what else could Zhan Jing do other than write a letter for Zhao Gang to take?

Zhao Gang’s departure didn’t hinder the village’s enthusiasm for building a school; people felt relief knowing there wouldn’t be further obstacles.

Gong Ruini had no interest in visiting the future school because they received a letter sent from their hometown.

Gong Tao was quite tired of these letters from home, as good news rarely came his way; they’d only remember him when they needed money or effort, and when benefits arose, the other brothers stepped forward.

Anyone would feel hurt over such matters.

Gong Tao looked at the letter for a long time, while Gong Ruini watched the old man’s expression for a long time, eager to know the contents immediately.

Since her parents knew Gong Ruini could recognize many characters, they wouldn’t open letters in her presence, which made Gong Ruini feel wronged.

However, Gong Tao’s facial expression wasn’t very revealing today. What was going on? Was the Gong family routinely informing him that everything was well?

But thinking about it, that’s impossible. When Gong Dajiang and the others returned home, they didn’t write to confirm their safe arrival; they completely disappeared until Gong Tao sent a letter asking, showing how the Gong family ignored or harbored bitterness over their Northeast trip.

"What’s wrong?" Cai Meina entered to fetch something, seeing Gong Tao with a letter, and the two kids watching his expression. What’s this situation? Could there be a problem with the letter?

Gong Ruini made some hushed gestures to Cai Meina, making her quite tense. What’s going on? Couldn’t this letter have come from the in-laws?

Only a letter could make the man of the household and the children so nervous.

Zhao Gang sighed and prepared to put the letter away, startling the three people in front of him, "Ah, you’re all here."

When he started reading the letter, the son and daughter weren’t here, but somehow, now they were. What’s going on?

Gong Ruini chuckled with embarrassment, though her smile seemed apologetic, but her question was direct.

"What’s going on with Grandpa and them?" Surely nothing tricky has come up again?

Ignoring her question, Gong Tao looked at the envelope again, and as he shook, he found two ’big unity’ notes inside.

What’s the situation? Everyone gaped at the money floating out, never thinking it was due to Gong Dajiang’s embarrassment, prompting Zhang Lan to give Gong Ruini the New Year money.

If he truly had such a thought, why didn’t he mention it while they were here? Why wait until they’d been gone a while to pull off this stunt?

For Zhao Lan to be so generous, indicating a significant agenda, who knows if it’s to help his brothers get promotions?

Realizing it’s actual money, Gong Tao kept shaking his head, "This is a deposit for us to buy ginseng."

Gong Tao felt truly hurt; despite earlier promises never to get involved, the appropriate parties all came forth, conjuring even this excuse.

A deposit to buy ginseng? Suddenly, in everyone’s eyes, the two notes appeared like a monster.

Cai Meina tried hard to suppress her temper but admitted she couldn’t, "A deposit? Didn’t they say they wouldn’t meddle in such matters? Why’d they suddenly pop up again?"

"What great ailment requires ginseng, thinking of themselves as landlords." Cai Meina spared no face for Gong Dajiang.

"Initially, besides you, at least your dad’s word seemed credible, but now I realize, it was merely wishful thinking."

"Every word from an adult can be as empty as farting, refusing recognition." Cai Meina glared at Gong Tao, emphasizing this messy situation couldn’t rope them in.

"I know, I know." With spring plowing imminent and everything busy, how could Gong Tao spare time for such thoughts? He wasn’t a fool.
