Chapter 311 Silly girl, so easy to coax~
"Sister Hui, your third son's wife is really something else. You've been growing this vegetable garden for so many years and it's been so well managed, but she just chopped it up without warning."

Seeing her vegetable garden being bulldozed, Wu Miaoyun felt heartbroken.

She was on good terms with An Hui, and An Hui's vegetables were free for her to pick, saving her a lot of money on groceries every year.

Now that the vegetable garden is gone, we'll have to spend a lot more money on vegetables at home.

This isn't a vegetable garden being cleared; it's like scraping her purse with a knife!
Looking at Jiang Moli directing the workers to shovel the ground, she felt angry: "Sister Hui, you spoil her too much. She's only been here a short time, and she's already acting like she's doing you a favor."

Wu Lan and Wu Miaoyun were of one mind; she had also benefited greatly from the Lu family's vegetable garden.

"If you ask me, Sister Hui should separate him and his wife and live separately. They're such a worry!"

You guys know nothing.

My third son's wife is not only filial and considerate, but she also manages to keep her mother-in-law completely under her thumb.

Based on these two points alone, she would be happy to not only uproot a vegetable garden, but also tear down her house!
Although An Hui thought this in her heart, she made excuses for Jiang Moli, saying, "With an old lady in the house, she will need someone to take care of her inside and out. She won't have as much energy to tend the vegetable garden in the future, so it's good that she's done."

Having said all that, Wu Miaoyun and the others could only swallow their heartache and reluctance, and instead comforted An Hui one after another.

"It's only three months, just bear with it."

"Old people are easy to take care of as long as you go along with their wishes..."

……

Although clearing the vegetable patch was a spur-of-the-moment decision, Jiang Moli didn't want to waste such a good spot.

She drew up blueprints and redesigned the yard.

Build a sandpit on the east side, put up a swing, and then place a ping-pong table.

Build a basketball court on the west side, and lay a nine-square grid in the open space next to it with colorful square tiles for girls to play hopscotch.

Leave a two-foot-wide mud surface along the base of the wall to plant flowers and grass.

Then, build a trellis above the swing on the east side and plant two or three grapevines.

In summer, the grapevines climb all over the trellis, forming a natural gazebo, and in autumn, you can pick and eat the grapes.

……

Jiang Moli paid the workers well, and they worked very hard. In less than an hour, they had leveled the entire vegetable garden and started tamping the ground with stones.

The heavy stone rammer pounded on the ground with a dull thud.

Zhu Huanghua was woken up by the noise. Leaning on her cane, she stood by the window and yelled, "You damn fools, can't you find anything to do? Get out of here, all of you..."

"Old woman, are you trying to kill me?"

"I, the old immortal, am underground. Go find him."

The workers were all from humble backgrounds, unlike city dwellers who were more particular.

They exchanged insults with Zhu Huanghua, one after another, without stopping their work.

Unable to argue with the workers, Zhu Huanghua started yelling at her son: "Lu Dezhao! Lu Dezhao, you dog, where the hell have you been?"

An Hui and Ma Hongmei tried to reason with her, but Zhu Huanghua scolded them.

Jiang Moli walked to the window and spoke to Zhu Huanghua through the window bars: "Grandma, I had someone dig up this vegetable garden for your own good. In the summer, it attracts mosquitoes, as well as poisonous snakes and ants. You don't want to fall asleep in the middle of the night and have a snake crawl up the window onto your bed, do you?"

Zhu Huanghua was truly taken aback by her words.

Zhu Huanghua's father was bitten to death by a five-step snake, bleeding from all seven orifices when he died, leaving a deep shadow on Zhu Huanghua.

Without the interference of the red and yellow flowers, the workers worked extremely efficiently.

By evening, the ground in the entire courtyard had been tamped flat.

……

After dinner, it was time for Zhu Huanghua to wash up and go to bed.

"Grandma, do you want to take a hot or cold shower today?"

His eyes, as red as yellow flowers and as green as beans, stared at Jiang Moli as if he wanted to devour her.

Jiang Moli grinned, "Then let's wash with warm water, Tingting. Tonight, you'll wash Great-Grandma's face and feet." Lu Tingting, having eaten and drunk her fill, was sprawled on the sofa rubbing her stomach when she heard this and lazily rolled her eyes.

"Why should I wash it, and why don't you?"

"I washed Grandma last night, it's your turn tonight."

Lu Tingting: "I even mopped the floor last night!"

Jiang Moli: "If you chose to wash Great-Grandma's feet last night, it's my turn to do it tonight."

"I'm not going to wash it anyway, let whoever wants to wash it wash it."

Unable to argue with Jiang Moli, Lu Tingting simply resorted to cheating and ran back to her room.

Lu Dezhao said to Jiang Moli, "Moli, you've been busy all day and must be tired. Go back to your room and rest. I'll wash Grandma's feet."

"Okay, Dad."

Jiang Moli did indeed return to her room.

An Hui and Lu Dezhao were not unhappy.

Taking care of the elderly is not an easy task, and they cannot place all the responsibility on their daughters-in-law.

An Hui said to Lu Dezhao, "You rest, I'll wash Mom."

Lu Dezhao got up and pressed her back onto the sofa. "I'll do it. Your back is already bad, don't make it worse."

The couple were so loving and considerate of each other that Zhu Huanghua, standing to the side, was so angry that her old face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

The reason she disliked Lu Dezhao the most was because she couldn't stand how much he doted on An Hui.

Back when she was a daughter-in-law, she endured so much hardship and suffering.

After she became a mother-in-law, she also learned from her mother-in-law's methods to set rules for her daughters-in-law.

The other daughters-in-law all behaved themselves well in front of her, doing whatever she asked.

But this daughter-in-law of the youngest son dares to go against her, and the youngest son still protects her. What a heartless thing!
……

In the room, Lu Tingting lay paralyzed on the bed.

Seeing Jiang Moli come in, she let out a soft snort, "I will not wash Great-Grandma's feet."

When she was little, her grandmother took her toys and gave them to her cousin, and even slapped her. She has held a grudge ever since.

Jiang Moli sat on the edge of the bed and sighed softly, "If you don't do it and I don't do it, then Grandpa and Grandma will have to do it. They doted on you so much when you were little, they were afraid of dropping you or melting you in their mouths. They've worked hard all their lives, and now it's time for them to enjoy their retirement. As their granddaughter, shouldn't you share some of their burden?"

Lu Tingting glared at her, "You're still a daughter-in-law! Your grandparents spoil you so much, you should be the one repaying them."

"I'd like to, but my body won't allow it."

As Jiang Moli spoke, she placed her hand on her lower abdomen, her face beaming with happiness.

Lu Tingting froze for a moment, then sat up abruptly in bed. "You're pregnant?"

Jiang Moli put her index finger to her lips, "Don't tell Grandpa and Grandma yet. We can tell them in three months. Right now, only you know. Even your third uncle doesn't know."

Lu Tingting stared at her slightly protruding belly, her expression shifting.

"So, how many months pregnant are you now?"

"It's been less than a month."

The timing matches up; Jiang Moli did indeed go to Xicheng a month ago.

Her third uncle was indeed a lecherous man; even with such serious injuries, he was still thinking about doing *that* kind of thing.

"Ah, it's so annoying!"

"take a good rest!"

Frustrated, Lu Tingting ran her fingers through her hair, jumped out of bed, and went outside.

Jiang Moli lay down where Lu Tingting had been, her lower abdomen contracted, and she smiled broadly.

Silly girl, so easy to please~
