Chapter 21

“Dare to have ideas about me? You’ll be crying!”

Tie Lanyan was so busy that she forgot everything.

Only when her stomach was grumbling did she realize it was already noon.

She didn’t have time to cook anything elaborate, so she decided to make something simple.

Tie Lanyan looked at the ingredients in the “Delicious Pavilion” of her space.

There were still plenty of eggs, so she decided to make a pan of scallion egg pancake.

She prepared ten eggs, a bowl of chopped scallions, and a bowl of flour.

The scallions were chopped into small pieces, the eggs were beaten with chopsticks, and the two were mixed together.

The flour was mixed with water to make a batter, then the scallion and egg mixture was added and stirred quickly.

Then she heated some oil in a pan and poured in the batter. She cooked it over low heat.

When both sides were golden brown, she took it out and poured in more batter.

Tie Lanyan fried three batches before all the batter was gone.

She also made herself a large cup of malt milk.

She ate the scallion egg pancake with one hand and drank the malt milk with the other.

In no time, she had devoured all the food.

It was a pity that she didn’t have a juicer, because she really wanted to make some banana juice.

After lunch, Tie Lanyan went for a walk in her space to help her digest.

As she passed the black soil planting area at the back,

She was surprised to find that the seeds in the ground had skipped the germination stage and directly grown into tender leaves.

Wow, it had only been two days since she planted them!

Tie Lanyan knew that the environment in her space was good and time flowed faster, so the seeds would grow faster, but she didn’t expect it to be this fast.

At this rate, the crops that would normally take three to four months to mature would probably be ready to harvest in just one month.

That meant she could eat the food she had grown herself in a month?!

Not only would she not need to buy food anymore, but she could also sell it on the black market to make money!

Wow! Another fortune was coming her way!

Tie Lanyan was overjoyed and couldn’t help but jump and spin around.

This time, she didn’t fall, she landed perfectly!

She had been eating so much nourishing food every day, her body had recovered a lot.

Now Tie Lanyan had a rosy complexion and was full of energy. She was no longer the pale and weak little girl she used to be.

“Hey! Ha!”

Tie Lanyan was in a good mood and started practicing a set of boxing moves.

She punched with vigor and power, looking very impressive.

If Niu Dabao was here, he would probably be speechless.

The last time Tie Lanyan punched someone, he was busy spinning around and didn’t see anything. He still had doubts.

Tie Lanyan moved a bit, but she wasn’t sleepy at all and didn’t want to take a nap.

She originally planned to go to the “Book Fragrance Pavilion” to read for a while, but suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

“Is anyone home…?”

As soon as Tie Lanyan opened the door, she saw a round, cheerful face.

The woman was dressed in red, with a big red flower on her head and rouge on her cheeks that looked like a monkey’s bottom.

Although Tie Lanyan didn’t recognize her, she guessed her identity – a matchmaker.

Sure enough, the woman smiled and introduced herself the next second:

“Comrade Lanyan, I’m Wang, the matchmaker. Congratulations, congratulations! There’s a good thing coming your way today. A very excellent comrade wants to propose to you!”

Tie Lanyan was stunned for a moment.

Then a look of dismay appeared on her face: “You’re not talking about Chen Jian from Aunt Ma’s next door, are you?”

A look of surprise flashed in Wang’s eyes: “Oh my, you already know! It’s him!

He’s handsome and has a secure job. He’s such a good choice. If you agree to this marriage, you’ll have a lot of fortune to enjoy!”

Tie Lanyan sneered and picked up the broom next to her to shoo her away.

“Get out! Get out! I don’t want to marry him. He’s a divorced old man who wants to eat young grass. Don’t even think about it!”

Tie Lanyan was genuinely angry this time.

Aunt Ma was relentless and dared to send a matchmaker to her door. Did she think Tie Lanyan wouldn’t dare to fight back?

Don’t think I’m a pushover just because I’m quiet!

Fine, tonight she would pay them a visit and beat the mother and son with a sack over their heads!

……

That night, Tie Lanyan disguised herself.

She wore black clothes, and all the exposed skin on her face and hands was blackened. She covered her face with a black cloth, leaving only her eyes visible.

When she was ready, Tie Lanyan sneaked into Aunt Ma’s yard.

As she reached the windowsill, she heard their voices coming from the room.

Chen Jian: “Mom, why did you send the matchmaker so quickly? Tie Lanyan’s parents have only been gone for a month. She definitely won’t agree!”

Aunt Ma: “What do you know? This girl is a piece of fat now. So many people are eyeing her!

Before, her cousin Zhang Cui was here, so everyone was afraid to make a move. Now that her relatives are not living here, everyone is starting to get restless.

If you don’t hurry up, someone else will get there first. Wouldn’t that be a huge loss!”

Chen Jian looked annoyed: “But the matchmaker came today and was chased away by her. She doesn’t want to marry me at all.”

Aunt Ma spat: “The little wench has high standards. You’re so good, and she still doesn’t want you. Does she think she’s something special?”

“What a great catch!

An orphan who’s gone crazy, her mind might not even be right. If it weren’t for her family’s money, I wouldn’t want her to be my daughter-in-law.”

Chen Jian sighed: “Mom, what’s the point of talking about this now? She rejected us, there’s no chance for our family.”

He actually liked Tie Lanyan quite a bit. She was fair and delicate, right up his alley.

A mother knows her son best.

Seeing her son sighing, Aunt Ma guessed his thoughts.

Her eyes twinkled: “Son, do you really want to marry her? If you do, I have a plan!”

Chen Jian was startled: “What plan do you have?”

Aunt Ma revealed a cunning smile: “We’ll just make it a done deal…”

……

Under the eaves.

Tie Lanyan’s pretty face was icy cold.

Originally, she just wanted to beat them up.

But now she had changed her mind.

Since Aunt Ma was so insidious and wanted to harm her, she had to retaliate.

Tie Lanyan’s eyes were full of cold laughter.

Hmph, dare to have ideas about me? You’ll be crying!
