Rebirth: I became rich by farming Chapter 36 - 36 36 Seeking Scolding

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Seeking Scolding Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Seeking Scolding i Yinan’s voice was not particularly loud, but it was enough to startle the four people inside the room with a jolt.

However, i Yinan’s anger did not subside just because she had only called out two nas, “You two, you two, you were supposed to look after Zhenzhen and Chenchen, and here you two are, lying around, even watching TV, looking all relaxed.”

At ho, these two knew to do the dishes, but now it seed they didn’t bother to lift a finger.

Luckily, i ngzhen’s jar was in Fan Hongwei’s hands; otherwise, it would surely have been smashed onto the couple.

Hearing the commotion, i ngzhen naturally ca out to explain: “No, Auntie, Brother Tianyu and Sister Tianhua were too stuffed to move, so they lay down for a bit.”

Of course, the promise of doing the dishes went unfulfilled because they physically couldn’t move.

And i ngzhen wasn’t exaggerating; the chicken was not small to begin with, plus the offal and all the stuffing already made for a large bowl, not to ntion the added carrots and Chicken Soup Powder. After finishing their respective bowls, they were indeed full. But how could ngchen, a little child, finish such a big bowl? He had only eaten a leg and a wing, along with so noodles and carrots and drank so soup; the rest, mostly, went into the stomachs of the couple. And let’s not even start on the rice that i ngzhen cooked to go with the soup—each of them had an additional bowl. You could say they were stuffed.

Being unable to move was sowhat understandable, and they had asked her to leave the dishes for them to wash later, but i ngzhen wasn’t used to that, so she cleaned up herself. Little did she know that her aunt and uncle, who had co over to return the bowl, caught them red-handed, which was sowhat unfair.

Learning that the kids couldn’t move due to being stuffed, the couple also looked rather embarrassed because they had just eaten so much themselves and had co downstairs to walk it off.

i Yinan softened her tone a bit, “How much did you two eat?”

“Half a chicken each, and then the chicken soup with carrots and Chicken Soup Powder,” Fan Tianyu pointed to the bowl in the kitchen, “After finishing a whole bowl of that, we also divided the rest of Chenchen’s unfinished portion, and there was another bowl of rice.”

The couple was speechless. It wouldn’t kill you to eat less; if they couldn’t finish, they could’ve simply reheated it tomorrow for another al, but they chose to eat it all in one sitting.

i Yinan completely ignored the fact that they too had finished everything in one go without considering saving any for the next day.

Yet, seeing how gluttonous her nephew and niece were, i Yinan was annoyed. But she knew when enough was enough. It wasn’t a big deal, and everything was explained. After a point, there was no need to harp on it any longer.

i Yinan quickly took the cloth from ngchen’s hand, wiped the table clean, and then made her way to the kitchen to help i ngzhen wash the dishes and tidy up. Seeing the pile of vegetables and fruits at ho, she was curious, “Why did you buy so much? Did you get all these from the sa place?”

i ngzhen nodded, “Yes, Chenchen loves it, so I buy so every day. Plus, their selection changes daily, and buying over ti, it piled up. Auntie, you should take so ho. I’m worried they’ll go bad if kept for too long.”

Going bad was unlikely, as the vegetables from the space wouldn’t spoil while in there and could last several days longer than usual when outside. Therefore, she confidently took them out, “And there’s a lot of fruit as well.”

Seeing all the vegetables and fruits, i Yinan felt a pang of distress, “You kid, you keep all these at ho, you must’ve almost run out of money.”

“Not at all, Auntie, I still have money. Let pack so fruits and vegetables for you.” As she spoke, i ngzhen pulled out several plastic bags from a cabinet below and began to fill them with greens for her aunt. Then, she added a large waterlon. Just as i ngzhen was about to grab another bag to pack more fruits, i Yinan stopped her: “That’s enough, any more and you’ll be cleaned out.”

Not really, she hadn’t touched the ones in the full fridge; the vegetables she packed were supposed to be eaten over the next couple of days, “I still have more in the fridge, it’s stuffed full.”

i Yinan opened the fridge to see for herself and indeed it was, but she still told her to stop, “That’s enough, we have plenty.”

After speaking, i Yinan took out a thousand yuan from her pocket and handed it to i ngzhen, “Here, take this money.”

i ngzhen imdiately refused, “Auntie, what are you doing? It’s just a bit of vegetables, it doesn’t cost much.”

“You think I don’t know how much they cost? Their vegetables are priced at five, ten yuan a bunch; this big bag would cost a few hundred at the very least. Not to ntion, today’s chicken soup had so many ingredients, all costing money. Plus, Tianyu will be eating here for several more days, I even think this thousand yuan isn’t enough.”

She had originally planned to give the kids so living expenses when she left ho. But now that they had taken so much chicken soup and vegetables, they only brought a thousand yuan, and now it even seed insufficient, “Don’t decline it. How much money can that child have? It can’t be that your family is struggling, and yet you’re still feeding him. Take it, no need to keep refusing.”

“Alright, thank you, Auntie.” i ngzhen accepted the money, firmly deciding to feed Brother Tianyu well these coming days.

But Fan Tianhua was slightly displeased, “Oh my god, Brother, you’re too kind! Zhenzhen’s food is so delicious, it makes not even want to go to work. I want to stay here and eat for a week too.”

Although her words were not the nicest, that was indeed the case. Thinking about how to irritate Fan Tianhua, Fan Tianyu was all for it, “Hey, that’s right. I’m staying at Zhenzhen’s place for a week, eating delicious food every day. You’re going to be so jealous.”

Fan Tianhua was annoyed but couldn’t do anything about it. She looked at Fan Hongwei for support, and yes, to tattle, “Dad, look at Fan Tianyu. He’s not only mooching off but also doing so shalessly.”

Fan Hongwei never involved himself in his children’s squabbles. So, he only glanced over and left it at that, instead opting to lounge on the sofa like his children, letting his food settle.

i Yinan ca out of the kitchen carrying the bags of vegetables. Seeing the father and sons sprawled out in soone else’s house and i ngchen sitting firmly on a small stool, earnestly watching cartoons, her anger surged even more, “You lot are too much.” They weren’t young anymore; they should be embarrassed that i ngzhen might see this and laugh.

But as stuffed as they were, it would take a while longer for them to recover. After resting for a good amount of ti, i Yinan and Fan Hongwei finally took Fan Tianhua back ho with them.

Fan Tianhua needed to return to work. Her job was in Jiangcheng, so she had to catch the last bus in the afternoon to leave.

i ngzhen packed so corn and sweet potatoes baked that morning for them, ready to see her guests off.

Who knew that upon seeing i Yinan about to leave with all the vegetables, Fan Tianyu exclaid in panic, “Mom, if you take all the vegetables, what will we eat these next few days?”

At those words, both i ngzhen and i ngchen gasped; this was… this was asking for a scolding.

As expected, i Yinan handed the two bags of vegetables to Fan Hongwei and, grabbing a wooden stick by the door, started chasing soone around the house, beating them until she was out of breath and had to stop.
