595 Faming Together!
Zhan Cangqiong’s expression was icy as he looked at Shen Sisi. “You don’t need to care about my business. Also, don’t worry, the person you hate won’t have a good life either,” he continued after a pause. He’ll just take it as a favor he owes her. Zhan Cangqiong laughed coldly and turned to leave.
Shen Sisi looked at Zhan Cangqiong’s back in a daze. She was still holding onto his suit jacket, but her heart was starting to beat faster. What did he mean by his last words? Who was the person she hated? Was it Shen Hanxing? Zhan Cangqiong was going to make a move on Shen Hanxing? Shen Sisi became excited as she thought about this. Her eyes were filled with anticipation. When she was facing Zhan Cangqiong, she was afraid that he would be ruthless and do as he pleased. However, when she thought about how he would use his methods on Shen Hanxing, she couldn’t help but be overjoyed. She even looked forward to it.
On the other hand, Shen Hanxing had no idea that she was being targeted. During this period, her grandmother had moved into the Ji family’s house, and the Ji family was becoming more and more like a family. Ji Qian, Ji Ning, and Ji Mo loved to stick to Shen Hanxing’s grandmother’s side the most. In order to make her happy, the children even dug out the roses in the back garden and transplanted them to the fence. Then, they planted the vegetables that her grandmother liked in the empty space.
Shen Hanxing had just gotten up to relax her eyes after a day of reading. She did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the garden. “What’s this for?” she asked.
“Grandma said that the vegetables she grows are delicious.” Ji Qian waved at Shen Hanxing in a lively manner, her dirt-covered face filled with excitement. “Sister-in-law, look, I planted this. I’ll treat you to some beans!”
“And my tomatoes,” Ji Ning smiled shyly, then said, “All for you, Sister-in-law.”
“I remember that Sister-in-law likes to eat potatoes. I’ve learned how to grow potatoes from grandma. I’ll make a stew for you,” Ji Mo smiled politely.
Seeing how close Ji Qian, Ji Ning, and Ji Mo were to Shen Hanxing, grandma couldn’t help but break into a smile. She smiled so widely that the wrinkles on her face smoothed out. She said, “Don’t worry, the vegetables we’ve planted will ripen in autumn. I guarantee that you’ll all be able to eat the vegetables we’ve grown today!”
Shen Hanxing shook her head with a wide smile on her face. She said, “Then you guys have to take good care of your vegetables.” She knew that Ji Qian and the others were just trying to make grandma happy. The originally beautiful back garden was now filled with vegetables and did not look very good. Shen Hanxing decided to go downstairs and work with Ji Qian and the others. They fenced up the vegetable field and planted some vines, making the vegetable field look a little more rustic and wild.
Shen Hanxing and the others were busy with their work. Qiao Xi, who had also started reading due to the atmosphere in the Ji family’s house, put down her book and walked out. She looked at them carefully and asked, “Old Madam, Madam Ji, is there anything I can help you with?” As she spoke, she couldn’t help but look up at Shen Hanxing, who was busy doing farm work. How could someone look so good doing farm work here? Shen Hanxing’s hair was tied up high into a fluffy ball, revealing her slender swan neck. She was bathed in the sun, and her entire body glowed beautifully.
Qiao Xi looked at Shen Hanxing and felt that no matter what happens, Madam Ji would always be able to do it beautifully and calmly. Qiao Xi was born in the countryside, so she was very familiar with farm work. However, every farmer she had met was dirty and messy. No one was as beautiful as Shen Hanxing.
“Weren’t you reading a book?” Shen Hanxing looked up at Qiao Xi and smiled. She said, “We’ll be done soon. You don’t have to come over, or you’ll be covered in mud.” Back when they were living in the slums, Shen Hanxing and her grandmother wished that they could split their money into two to spend. Back then, the courtyard they lived in was small, and there was no space for them to grow vegetables. They had made many styrofoam boxes, filled them with soil, and planted some small vegetables. They tried to save as much as they could.
To Shen Hanxing, if she could even raise delicate orchids, how difficult could it be to grow vegetables? Shen Hanxing’s movements were skilled and deft, and the vegetable growing was almost done.
“Everyone’s busy, how can I be idle?” Qiao Xi’s eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips and chuckled uncomfortably. Her eyes drifted away, and she wanted to take off her shoes and walk over. “I’ll do it with everyone. I used to do this in my hometown.” She was determined to help.
Shen Hanxing was about to nod when Ji Mo suddenly laughed and said, “Sister Qiao Xi, since you want to help, please bring us the watering can. It just so happens that the vines that Sister-in-law just transplanted need to be watered.”
