Chapter 397:1 Think I Had a miscarriage
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The four acres of land that Bai Wutong had asked He Guihua and Yan Tingting to take care of were experimentally planted with shitake mushrooms, milky mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and abalone mushrooms. These four mushrooms grew especially quickly and suited everyone’s taste the most. The requirements for their growth conditions were not as high as other mushrooms.
After everyone signed up to plant mushrooms, Bai Wutong race against time and taught them the way to cultivate these four mushrooms.
When everyone’s respective mushroom sheds were built, they could plant mushrooms in the mushroom sheds under the guidance of He Guihua and Yan Tingting.
By following Bai Wutong’s method, they successfully cultivated snow-white mycelium on the third day. The mycelium spread throughout the entire glass bottle like a beautiful piece of art, giving everyone endless hope.
Those who did not believe that mushrooms could be produced at hundreds of catties per mu of land felt even more regretful and vexed when they heard everyone say that the mushrooms might really grow after the cultivation was successful.
They did not seize the opportunity to farm pearls, nor did they seize the opportunity to plant mushrooms!
Madam Qu found Yan Tingting and asked shamelessly, “Your Zhao Yuan has earned enough money. Give these two acres of mushroom house to your three brothers!”
…..
“Just teach the others casually. Only when your brother and the others are living well will they have the confidence to support you, right?”
She demanded righteously and didn’t want to pay a single cent. She just wanted to get two mushroom sheds for free and learn the technique to growing mushrooms.
Previously, when Madam Qu was causing trouble, Yan Tingting had already cut off all contact with her. However, she was still her biological mother after all, and it was still hard to sever all ties. Madam Qu was no longer as arrogant as before, and Yan Tingting had resumed contact with her maternal family.
She had a weak personality and was soft-hearted. As long as it was not too much and she could accept it, Yan Tingting was still willing to give her some good things.
Unexpectedly, this fueled Madam Qu’s arrogance and made her eye the mushroom sheds.
In Madam Qu’s opinion, if her son-in-law, Zhao Yuan, was capable, her daughter would not have to worry about food and clothes for the rest of her life. Why not help her family? If they could not register for the mushroom cultivation, they could just let Yan Tingting give it up. Moreover, two acres of mushroom sheds did not cost much. Madam Qu felt that Yan Tingting would definitely not mind.
Auntie Yang had helped her two daughters-in-law fight for the chance to grow mushrooms from Bai Wutong. Moreover, Bai Wutong had personally taught them how to plant mushrooms. This represented an honor that belonged to them alone. In the future, the mushroom shed would still be their private property.
When mushrooms became abundant, who would dare to say behind their backs that they were just lucky to have married a good man?
How could Yan Tingting give up the mushroom shed? Besides, she had already given her family a lot of things.
Madam Qu wanted to renovate the villa a little more, but she did not have money. As her daughter, Yan Tingting even gave her 10 taels of silver.
If Madam Qu had not said that she wanted a mushroom shed and only wanted to learn the technique of growing mushrooms, Yan Tingting would not have been so angry.
Now, there was only one phrase in Yan Tingting’s mind—insatiable greed!
Yan Tingting’s eyes darkened. “Mother, 1 can’t accept your request.”
Her firm rejection made Madam Qu lose face. She immediately said angrily, “You’re living a luxurious life now, but you don’t want to acknowledge me as your mother, right? It’s just two mushroom sheds! So what if you give it to me! The Great Empress didn’t say that only the person who signed up can plant it! Besides, I’m your mother!”
Madam Qu kept saying that she was her mother, but in fact, she did not take her daughter to heart at all. She did not care about her difficult position at all and only wanted her to keep supporting her three useless brothers.
Yan Tingting and Madam Qu would cause a huge commotion every time they argued. Although her mother-in-law would support her, it was inevitable that she would feel that the Qu family was not presentable.
Yan Tingting said directly, “Mother, it’s useless to say anything else. 1 won’t give you the mushroom shed. Give up. If you still have me in your heart, leave quickly. I’m tired.”
Yan Tingting actually chased her out. Madam Qu was furious and raised her hand to slap Yan Tingting. Fortunately, Zhao Yuan returned in time and grabbed Madam Qu’s hand. “Mother, what are you doing?”
The last time Madam Qu acted atrociously at their house, she hit and scolded Yan Tingting. At that time, Zhao Yuan had already accumulated some anger. If not for the fact that he could not bear to see Yan Tingting being sandwiched in the middle, Zhao Yuan would definitely not allow Madam Qu appear at their house to cause trouble again.
Zhao Yuan’s dark expression frightened Madam Qu for a moment, but she said confidently, “An unfilial daughter should be taught a lesson!”
“I didn’t ask her to give much money. I just asked her to spend some effort teaching her brothers how to grow mushrooms, yet she is making all kinds of excuses.”
“We’re all family. What’s there to fuss about? Don’t you think so?”
Zhao Yuan also understood and said without hesitation, “Tingting’s decision is my decision. Please leave.”
Madam Qu could not figure it out. They were already living so well. What was wrong with helping them?
Which daughter didn’t want to help her maternal family? Moreover, if everyone had learned the technique after one person spent money on mushroom planting, wasn’t it much more profitable?
Madam Qu said angrily, “You don’t treat me as your mother at all!”
When Madam Qu raised her hand to slap her, Yan Tingting’s heart had already turned cold.
She had compromised this time, but there would definitely be a next time. Yan Tingting said, “We’ve already severed ties previously. You can think whatever you want.”
Madam Qu could not hold it in anymore. She had already boasted to others that she would definitely be able to get a mushroom shed and even secretly accepted money from others. She also said that when her sons learned how to plant mushrooms, she would teach them.
If Yan Tingting refused to teach her, how would she explain it to her son, daughter-in-law, and the people who paid?
Madam Qu immediately cursed at Yan Tingting, “I raised you with my feces and urine. Now that your wings have hardened, you’re going to turn the world upside down. You’re so capable!”
“You’re heartless and ungrateful. You don’t even acknowledge your biological mother. What’s the difference between you and a beast!”
“I’m not asking you to die. You’re so arrogant just because you know how to plant mushrooms.”
Her curses spread outside through the tent and surrounded them to eavesdrop. When Madam Qu’s three sons heard their mother’s shout, they immediately rushed in.
Yan Da scolded Yan Tingting without hesitation, “You heartless dog, look at how angry you made our mother!”
Zhao Yuan could not help but punch him. Yan Da was punched to the ground by Zhao Yuan. Seeing this, Yan Er and Yan San immediately went up to help.
They fought in the tent. How could Zhao Yuan defeat three people alone? Yan Tingting went forward to break the fight. Yan Da waved his hand and Yan Tingting fell heavily to the ground.
She groaned and her stomach suddenly hurt. In the next second, she felt a heat between her legs. She was no longer an inexperienced woman. She thought of something and immediately shouted at Zhao Yuan in fear, “Brother Yuan, stop fighting. Hurry up and call the doctor. I think I might have a miscarriage..”
