99 You Should Listen to Your Sister In-law
“Brother, why are you the one cooking the pancakes? Your eyes can see again?” Upon realizing what was happening, Xie Jun asked in surprise. He ran to Xie Heng’s side and stared at him intensely. “Brother, tell me quickly, did my sister-in-law cure your eyes?”:
“Yes.” Xie Heng answered briefly, then passed a potato pancake with a pair of chopsticks to Xie Jun. “Have a taste.”
“Wah, brother, am I dreaming right now?” Despite being a food lover, Xie Jun couldn’t be bothered with the potato pancake. All he could think about right now was Xie Heng. He asked, “Does that mean you can continue to study again?”
“Yes.”
“That’s amazing, brother!”
Xie Jun hugged Xie Heng’s leg and started sobbing.
While Xie Heng felt somewhat helpless, he was touched by Xie Jun’s reaction.
Although Xie Jun wasn’t related to him by blood, he had always treated him as his real brother, regardless of the circumstances…
“Junjun, if you cry anymore, I’m taking away the pancakes. This is a good thing, and if you spoil your eyes by crying, I might not be able to cure them for you.” Zhao Chuchu grabbed Xie Jun and pulled him away from Xie Heng. “While your brother’s eyes are functioning again, try his cooking and celebrate for him!”
Xie Jun sniffled and nodded. He said with a teary voice, “Yes, I’ll eat lots and lots of his cooking. Brother, please take care of your eyes in the future, and listen to what your sister-in-law says!”
Xie Heng laughed and answered. “Alright, alright.”
Only then did Xie Heng take a bite of the pancake happily.
Xie Jun was a foodie. The moment he bit the pancake, his eyes lit up. He stopped crying and started gobbling down the food.
Upon seeing Xie Jun’s reaction, Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng looked at each other and smiled.
…
Xie Heng told Xie Jun not to tell others that his eyes had been cured. He told Xie Jun that his eyes couldn’t see very well yet, and he didn’t want other people to misunderstand Zhao Chuchu.
Xie Jun immediately agreed.
Zhao Chuchu asked Xie Heng about the position of the farmland, then found Niu Tongsheng to talk to him about sowing the seeds.
“Da Lang said that there are several acres of land that people are willing to rent to us. I want to use them to plant rice myself. since you guys are sowing the seeds right now, would you mind helping plant down the rice seedlings as well?” Zhao Chuchu asked Niu Tongsheng. “As you know, none of the people in my family can do formwork, so I have no choice but to ask you.”
“Ah, don’t worry about it. It’s nothing. I’ll settle the paddy field for you. Have you bought the seeds?” Niu Tongsheng agreed without even thinking.
Although Niu An didn’t tell him how much money Zhao Chuchu made from selling the tiger, he told the family that Zhao Chuchu gave him ten taels of silver. For the villagers in Lengshui village, ten silver teals would be the payback for more than half a year of labor!
Since Zhao Chuchu was so generous, Niu Tongsheng was naturally willing to help her.
“I have the seeds.”
“Alright then, I’ll tell my eldest son to plow the land that you guys rented when the time comes. Oh, right, where are the plots of land that you’re renting? You need to tell us first, so we don’t work on the wrong one.”
“I’ll bring you there now.”
Niu Tongsheng told Niu An to come along with them.’
“Chuchu, have you eaten breakfast? If you haven’t, you can eat here with me and head there a little later.”
“I’ve already eaten. Thank you, grandma!”
Zhao Chuchu seemed so polite and gentle. No one could link her to the ruthless fighter who broke people’s limbs like it was nothing.
“Let’s head there first, don’t waste Chuchu’s time,” Niu Tongsheng said as he started to walk outside.
The three of them passed by the village. Other than the people from the Zhao Clan who shunned Zhao Chuchu like she was a demon, everyone else conversed with her normally.
Everyone knew that Zhao Chuchu was rich, she was the one who paid them to farm the wastelands.
The high-grade farmland that Xie Heng had rented was very close to the village. It was right beside the entrance road, making it very accessible.
Bending down to plant the seedlings was too tiring, perhaps they could try throwing to scatter the seedlings.
Zhao Chuchu said, “Village chief, I have an idea. Would you like to hear me out?”
