Chapter 370 Going Home to Grow Vegetables
She smiled at Wen Luozhi, and before she could speak, she slapped the horse's rump and rode off without a second thought.
"Don't use them for bad things, you'll become more and more beautiful."
She hadn't run far when Wen Luozhi turned back and waved to her.
Wu Yao's eyes were wet; it was the first time in her life she had been moved to tears by someone else.
She nodded emphatically and waved vigorously at the two men's retreating figures as they rode away on horseback.
Mo Li, at Langhuai, handed the letter written by Wu Yao to Mo Xiao. After reading it, Mo Xiao said nothing but sighed heavily.
……
Wen Luozhi went straight to Jiang Shuqian's small house in Shanquan Town to rest during her pregnancy.
"Mother!" She started calling as soon as she reached the door. Xie He, who was inside the house, heard her and thought she was hallucinating because she missed her daughter so much.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Shuqian put down her needlework and went outside. Seeing Wen Luozhi skipping in, she was overjoyed and quickly greeted Xie He:
"Mother! It's Luo Zhi!"
"Luo Zhi is back!"
She ran out to meet him first, while Xie He chased after her, shouting "Watch your step!"
Wen Luozhi rushed over and gave Jiang Shuqian a big hug. "I missed you so much, Fourth Sister-in-law! How is my little nephew?"
She looked at Jiang Shuqian's belly, which was already quite noticeably protruding.
"You finally know to come back?! If you hadn't come back, your little nephew wouldn't even recognize you anymore!"
Xie He arrived and jokingly grabbed her hand, looking her up and down.
"You've lost so much weight since you went out. Let me take you to eat at our restaurant."
Jiang Shuqian took her other hand, her face beaming, and said, "There's some great news at home! Go get ready first, I'll tell you on the way."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept each other in suspense, and Wen Luozhi was extremely curious, like a cat itching for a tickle.
She quickly finished washing up and came out. Wolf Batian had also been pampered and his fur was bleached, making him look like a cotton ball.
Once inside the carriage, Jiang Shuqian couldn't wait to tell her about Wen Zizhou and Song Tingwan.
Wen Luozhi's mouth opened slightly. She had previously thought that Song Tingwan just liked Wen Zizhou because he was good-looking, but she never expected that he would actually win her over.
She chuckled softly. She had spent the most time with Song Tingwan and knew that she was not the kind of person who was easily swayed.
Now Wen Zizhou was finally trapped in the golden bowl and dared not act recklessly anymore.
Upon seeing Wen Luozhi, Wen Zizhou pouted and tried to hug her, but was pushed away by Lang Batian.
"What are you doing?! You won't get any roast goose later!"
Wen Zizhou rubbed his waist in dissatisfaction, but he couldn't beat Lang Batian, who was so big, so he could only threaten him verbally.
"Men and women shouldn't touch each other, but Third Brother has really made something of himself."
Wen Luozhi couldn't help but joke, "After all, Song Tingwan's father is a wealthy man, so his status has suddenly increased."
Wen Zizhou chuckled, knowing she was joking with him.
"If you and Tingwan can get to that point, Baiweizhai will be the headquarters for all those branches, and you can be the boss."
Wen Luozhi picked at the rice in her bowl and spoke earnestly to Wen Zizhou, who was serving her so attentively.
Wen Zizhou was so moved he almost hugged him again, but Xie He stomped on his foot and scolded, "How old are you?! Do you still think you're like a child?"
"Little sister, your third brother doesn't want this headquarters. There will be franchises in Qingzhou County."
Wen Zizhou was unwilling to take advantage of his sister. Baiweizhai was making a lot of money every day. What would it mean if he took it?
Moreover, he also has an older brother, sister-in-law, younger brother, and younger sister-in-law at home, so he can't take it either.
Wen Luozhi blinked at him. Wen Zizhou had been pestering her for it before, so why didn't he want it now?
After thinking for a moment, she took the land deed of the restaurant to the government office the next day and had a new one drawn up.
The land deed was eventually handed to Wen Muchuan, the patriarch of the family. When he unfolded it and saw the long list of names on it, his hand trembled in surprise.
"Sweetie, what are you doing?" Wen Muchuan asked with a stern face, seemingly very dissatisfied with this action.
Not only were the names of six brothers added to the land deed, but even his and Xie He's names were included.
This originally belonged to my daughter alone, why give it to them?
Wen Luozhi smiled and took his arm. "It's filial piety towards our parents, and our brothers' help."
Looking at his adorable daughter, Wen Muchuan didn't know what to say, thinking to himself that his and his wife's share would definitely be for their little girl.
"Dad, shall we go to town tomorrow and see what vegetable seeds they have? It's time to plant greenhouse vegetables."
Fearing that Wen Muchuan might remember something and refuse, Wen Luozhi changed the subject to divert his attention.
Wen Muchuan would definitely be happy to see his daughter again after not seeing her for so long.
He readily agreed and then took Wen Luozhi to the workshop to check on the situation.
Aman occasionally led a group to supervise the construction, and was pleasantly surprised to see Wen Luozhi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Luo Zhi is back? Long time no see," he greeted her first.
Wen Luozhi smiled and nodded, thinking to herself that married men are different; their aura is completely different from that of a naive young man.
"I didn't get to eat any of Ah Man and his wife's wedding candy! You'll have to make it up to me later."
She joked, and Aman patted his chest, "I remember, little sister! Your sister-in-law and I will personally deliver it to you later."
He's now the head of the workshop, and his wages are quite high. His mother-in-law was initially a little dissatisfied with him, but now she praises him to the skies.
He had saved a separate set of wedding candies and money from his wedding with Zhang Yun for Wen Luozhi, just in time to deliver them to her when she returned.
Upon discovering that the workshop had seen an increase in the number of workers, Wen Luozhi knew that they had hired new employees and praised Aman's management skills once again.
Because growing greenhouse vegetables requires space, Wen Luozhi has to buy or rent land, as what she has prepared at home is simply not enough.
The villagers were all willing to follow her example and plant the land, and for a while, they couldn't find anyone with any vacant land.
She asked the village chief to keep an eye out for her, and when her family came over to deliver some things in the evening, the village chief said that there was land available.
He looked at Wen Luozhi with some difficulty and said, "This is Zhang Chunhua's last piece of land. She came to me and said that as long as you are willing to buy it, the price is negotiable."
The village chief couldn't help but sigh as he recalled how she had brought Lin Huaizhi back a while ago.
The once chubby man had suffered some kind of torment and lost a lot of weight, while Lin Huaizhi, the pale-faced scholar, was even worse off, looking like a ghost and hiding whenever he saw anyone from their village.
Wen Luozhi frowned; she knew a little about Zhang Chunhua's visit to the Guo family.
It was unexpected that the most difficult and unreasonable Wang Amiao would actually be able to release Lin Huaizhi.
"Then I'll go take a look tomorrow, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it."
Wen Luozhi agreed, but she would definitely not consider it if Zhang Chunhua used this as an excuse to lower the price.
She wouldn't be foolish enough to give more money; she wouldn't care what would happen to the mother and child after the sale.
Lin Huaizhi has finally gotten his just deserts. He has brought this upon himself.
After all that time he spent escaping, he finally met a woman like Wang Amiao; he deserved it.
