Chapter 14: Chapter 014 Shock
"Huh?"
When she heard Chen Ergou's straightforward words, she shyly squinted her eyes and soon whispered softly, "Ergou, can we do it next time? Sister-in-law is in a lot of pain right now..."
Hearing her shy whisper, it was Chen Ergou's turn to be stunned!
After a while, when he caught on, Chen Ergou said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? I just wanted to check on you. I know massage techniques that can greatly alleviate your pain."
Hearing Chen Ergou's explanation, Beauty Liu wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, as she had obviously thought too much!
Quickly, she turned her head shyly and said, "Massage? You know how to massage?"
With a confident smile, Chen Ergou replied, "Yes! I'll massage you, and it will definitely greatly relieve your pain!"
"Well... okay then!"
Although she knew it would be embarrassing, she still followed Chen Ergou's instructions at that moment.
Honestly, she felt a slight disappointment in her heart...
After the massage, Chen Ergou said:
"Well... Sister-in-law, you rest up, I'll be going now!"
Knowing that sister-in-law was alright now, he saw no need to stay any longer and directly proposed to leave!
"Mhm, I won't see you out then, sister-in-law. It's getting a bit dark, be careful on your way!"
"Okay!"
While speaking, Chen Ergou took another look at Beauty Liu and strode away!
"Maybe I shouldn't have let that little rascal leave just now!"
As Chen Ergou's footsteps grew fainter, Beauty Liu, filled with a sense of spring, muttered to herself!
After speaking, she stood up and locked the front door...
...
The next morning, Chen Ergou got up and went out.
"Brother Ergou, good morning!"
Seeing Chen Ergou appear, Lin Qiaoqiao, who had just squeezed the toothpaste, smiled serenely and flashed two cute little fangs!
"Mhm, Qiaoqiao, you're up early!"
"Not really, I'm used to it!"
While talking, she fetched water and began brushing her teeth!
...
"Mom, you're being partial!"
During breakfast, Chen Ergou looked at Lin Qiaoqiao's bowl, which had two more eggs than his own, and spoke up in mild frustration!
"What bias? Qiaoqiao is still growing and needs more eggs! You just make me angry all day, eating less is fine!"
"I..."
Hearing Li Cuixia defend herself so righteously, Chen Ergou didn't know what to say!
"Brother Ergou, I can't eat this much, here's one for you!"
Seeing Chen Ergou get scolded, Lin Qiaoqiao kindly picked up an egg.
"Qiaoqiao is really kind, but brother won't eat it. You eat it, you really do need to grow now!"
"Oh! Thanks, Brother Ergou!"
Smiling brightly, she suddenly blinked her big eyes and asked, "Brother Ergou, have the herbs you planted on the mountain survived?"
Chen Ergou replied with a smile, "Of course, otherwise let me take you to see later! The mountain's all green!"
"Really!"
Lin Qiaoqiao nodded excitedly, while Li Cuixia and Chen Jianqiu shook their heads secretly...
Green?
In their view, that was simply impossible!
After all, having planted the seeds just yesterday and not even watering them, it was impossible for them to sprout...
After breakfast, Chen Ergou and they went up the mountain together!
As they crossed the woods and Chen Ergou was leading, he once again saw the sprawling green vibrant sprouts...
Without saying anything, Chen Ergou just stood there silently...
"Ergou, we've only lost some money for the seeds. In the grand scheme, our loss isn't that big. Let's hurry and cancel the lease contract for the back mountain...," Li Cuixia was earnestly advising, but she couldn't finish her words, because she was now also struck by the vibrant green before her eyes...
"This..."
Li Cuixia was completely dumbfounded!
She even doubted if her eyes were deceiving her!
Because what she was seeing was just too shocking!
Realizing Li Cuixia's astonishment, Chen Jianqiu and Lin Qiaoqiao also felt puzzled, but when they followed Li Cuixia's gaze, they too were dumbfounded!
While the three of them stood there dumbly, the villagers who had helped plant the day before gathered around...
"Do you think those seeds will sprout?"
"How could they? That's acidic soil!"
"Exactly, I think Master Ergou is just foolishly rich..."
The villagers talked among themselves as they drew closer, but they stopped short as they sensed something off in the expressions of Li Cuixia and the rest...
Turning their heads in confusion, the next instant, everyone wore an expression as if they had seen a ghost...
