My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 220 Murderer and arsonist scum
Chapter 220: 220 Murderer and arsonist scum
Shen Lan’s eyes suddenly brightened at the sight of the Vegetable Garden.
"These vegetables look quite good..."
"Tangtang, sorry to disturb you! Uncle Ji and Aunt Shen have an emergency to discuss with you, and I didn’t have the chance to tell you in advance..." Qin Suqing said with a flushed face, feeling embarrassed.
She knew that Tangtang did not like being troubled, but it was a matter of life and death, and she had no choice.
Lin Tang had already guessed that they would come.
The girl named Ji Yao probably had anorexia, which wasn’t so easy to cure.
She pinched Qin Suqing’s rosy cheeks, her voice soft and clear.
"How could I not know you? But I’m in the middle of a meal right now, please help me entertain Comrade Ji and Comrade Shen first."
Qin Suqing felt relieved that her good friend wasn’t blaming her, so half of her tension dissipated.
Her tone carried a hint of urgency.
"You haven’t eaten yet? Then you should hurry up and eat. We can talk after you finish your meal."
Lin Tang replied, "Okay, then wait for me a moment."
After speaking, she nodded to Ji Su and Shen Lan and went back inside the house.
Ning Xinrou and Lin Xiaojing, hearing noises, were about to step out when they saw Lin Tang returning.
"Tangtang, who is it?" Ning Xinrou asked.
Lin Tang pulled them back and said, "It’s Qingqing, let’s eat first."
At this time of year, it got dark later.
The courtyard was still brightly lit.
Shen Lan, thinking anxiously of her daughter at home, couldn’t sit still and stood up to look at the vegetables in the Vegetable Garden.
"Qingqing, did your friend grow these vegetables herself?"
The young lady looked pampered and didn’t appear to be someone who would farm.
Qin Suqing shook her head and said, "No, the Vegetable Field is tended by Tangtang’s sister-in-law and cousin."
Tangtang was so busy with many things, having to work and figuring out how to assemble the machinery needed for the Sauce Factory.
She had even translated manuals for new machinery at the factory before.
Where would she have the time to tend to the vegetables in the field?
None of them knew that the vegetables in the field were growing so well entirely because Lin Tang had watered the soil with a special elixir, improving the land.
"Is that so? The vegetables do look quite good," Shen Lan remarked with a sigh.
If only someone in her family could grow vegetables that Yaoyao would eat.
Seeing the expression on his wife’s face, Ji Su knew what she was thinking.
The man sighed.
Thinking of Lin Tang’s subtle demeanor, he felt a sense of heaviness in his heart.
Hopefully, everything would go smoothly!
Five minutes later, the three members of the Lin Family came out of the house.
Ning Xinrou and Lin Xiaojing nodded to the people in the courtyard as a greeting, then carried their tableware and went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Lin Tang sat next to Qin Suqing and said, "Comrade Ji and Comrade Shen have come today to buy vegetables from my family, haven’t you?"
Ji Su and Shen Lan exchanged a glance.
Shen Lan gave her husband a look as if to say, ’It’s your turn to speak.’
Ji Su sat erect, adopting a negotiating stance, his demeanor exuding stable gravity.
From the aura he emitted, one could tell this was no ordinary man.
"Comrade Lin is perceptive! Indeed, that is our intention. I wonder what you think, Comrade Lin?"
"As long as you are willing to supply fresh vegetables to my family daily, you can name your conditions. As long as I can manage it, Ji Mou will spare no effort."
Knowing his family had little to do with the Lin Family, Ji Su wanted to persuade her with benefits.
Lin Tang hadn’t expected this family to be so sincere.
She paused for a moment, a gentle smile playing on her beautiful brows and eyes.
"You’re taking this too seriously, Comrade Ji."
"It’s just some vegetables, we don’t lack for anything else in my home, the vegetables are plenty. Just pay the market price, how much do you need every day?"
Her family was large, so the amount of vegetables they could spare from the garden was limited.
But her uncle’s household had fewer people to feed, and it was possible to sell their vegetables for money.
As for the quality of the vegetables? That was even less of a concern.
Just water them with a little elixir and improve the soil, and that would do.
Qin Suqing saw how confident Tangtang was and asked curiously, "Tangtang, does your family have enough vegetables again?"
Lin Tang didn’t elaborate and replied, "Yes, enough."
Shen Lan couldn’t hide her excitement and said joyfully, "Comrade Lin, I have just one question, are the vegetables the same as the ones you gave to Qingqing last time?"
Lin Tang nodded affirmatively, "Of course."
Shen Lan didn’t expect it to be so smooth, and the worry in her eyes completely disappeared.
"Great, my family will take two pounds of vegetables daily. Your vegetables are good, so I’ll pay you double the market price, is that okay?"
She and Ji Su both worked and earned a decent monthly salary. They didn’t lack money but what they lacked were supplies.
Ji Su added, "We won’t spread the word about buying vegetables, it’s not to our benefit. Comrade Lin can rest assured."
The couple jointly eliminated Lin Tang’s concerns in advance.
Since that was the case, was there any reason not to agree?
"Alright, you both are so sincere, I’d be silly not to agree!"
"Will you pick up the vegetables yourselves, or should my family deliver? Once a day or every few days?" Lin Tang asked.
Ji Su and Shen Lan were stumped.
They both had jobs. Picking up the vegetables themselves was inconvenient, but they felt embarrassed to ask someone else to deliver.
Just as the two were troubled—
Qin Suqing tugged Lin Tang’s sleeve, puckered her petal-like lips, and looked pitiful.
Her eyes filled with a plaintive look.
Lin Tang felt as though she was suddenly surrounded by balls of wool, "?!".
This expression, these eyes, made her feel like she was a scumbag who committed murder and arson on a young girl’s heart...
"What’s wrong?" Lin Tang asked helplessly.
Qin Suqing’s voice was filled with grievance, "Tangtang, does your family have any surplus vegetables? I want some too!"
She had been craving them since the last time she had them.
Lin Tang thought that this was such a trivial matter. She thought Qin Suqing was gearing up for some grand scheme.
"Yes, yes, yes, I’ll bring you a basket another day."
Qin Suqing’s expression instantly reverted to her usual radiance, and she waved her right hand.
"No need for you to deliver, my family will also order vegetables. Let’s go with three pounds a day, delivered daily for freshness."
"As for the delivery method? Is there someone in your village willing to take on this job? We’ll pay for the travel expenses for both houses."
Shen Lan’s red lips curved into a pleased smile, "Finding someone to deliver is indeed a good idea."
The two families agreed on the spot, now just waiting for Lin Tang’s response.
Lin Tang shrugged, speechless, "I don’t mind, either is fine."
But still, she had to say one thing: it’s good to have money!
After seeing Qin Suqing and the others off, Lin Tang told Ning Xinrou and Lin Xiaojing about the arrangement.
Both were delighted.
"This is great!" Ning Xinrou said with a gentle smile, "Our family’s income will increase again. Mother and Third Aunt will be happy."
Lin Xiaojing’s face was full of gratitude, and her eyes were watery, "Tangtang, thank you."
Lin Tang waved her hand dismissively, "Why be so formal? We’re all family."
Since she was a child, her third uncle and aunt always saved her a share of anything tasty they made, and she remembered it well.
With the ability to give back, there was nothing to fuss about.
-
The next day, after work, the three Lin family members headed home.
During this period, Ning Xinrou and Lin Xiaojing had just started at the factory and had a lot to learn, so they hadn’t found the time to go back.
The prospect of soon being home filled them with excitement.
Ning Xinrou managed to contain her emotions better since, after all, she was an adult.
Lin Xiaojing, on the other hand, couldn’t. She chattered nonstop and hopped around all the way, as cheerful as a little bird.
Seeing the calm demeanor of Lin Tang and Ning Xinrou, she suddenly felt she was being unsteady.
So she tried to calm the bubbling joy in her heart, striving to be quiet.
After holding back for two minutes, she couldn’t help but ask:
"Sister Xinrou, why aren’t you excited? Don’t you miss Goudan and Choudan?"
In fact, she also wanted to ask about Brother Blue Mountain, but she was too shy.
