Chapter 26: Your Mom Is So Cruel?

Wang Dafu rolled his eyes and shook his head, “You guys don’t know, Xianhua and I planted a different variety of watermelon this year. Plus, I fertilize them often, so they grow fast and can be planted twice a year. That’s why I’m selling them now!”

Wang Xueqi nodded thoughtfully. At this time, the kitchen was filled with the sound of cooking oil and the smell of chili peppers, cucumbers, and eggplants.

Wu Xianhua quickly finished making dinner. Wang Xueqi didn’t leave. She acted like a little girl, constantly pulling Wang Dafu, chatting and laughing. They seemed to have a good relationship.

Wu Xianhua brought the food to the table, glanced at Wang Dafu and Wang Xueqi, feeling a pang of jealousy in her heart. She called out, “Dafu, dinner’s ready!”

Wang Xueqi stood up and smiled at Wang Dafu, “Dafu, come over to my house to play tonight if you have time. I’m going home now!”

With that, she walked out of the yard.

Wang Dafu came to the table. Wu Xianhua smiled, “How do you like that young lady? Do you like her?”

“What are you talking about, Sister-in-law? That girl was sent by her mother to find out about me!”

Wu Xianhua knew she was jealous, but she didn’t care.

“Dafu, how much did you earn today?”

Wang Dafu immediately took out his phone and showed Wu Xianhua his balance.

At noon, Wu Xianhua was worried that this fool had been tricked by a scammer. Now, seeing the WeChat balance, she truly believed it.

“Dafu, you’ve struck it rich? You really made over twenty thousand yuan. Plus the ten thousand from yesterday, that’s forty thousand in total!”

Wu Xianhua couldn’t help but be excited. She was so happy, her peach blossom eyes were shining.

“Hehe, Sister-in-law, we have nothing to do tomorrow. Let’s go to town and buy a tricycle?”

Wu Xianhua nodded, “Okay, let’s go buy a car tomorrow. Come on, Dafu, try the meat Sister-in-law made!”

“Sister-in-law’s meat?”

Wang Dafu’s eyes twinkled with amusement.

Wu Xianhua was too excited and spoke too quickly. She felt a little embarrassed and smiled, “It’s the meat Sister-in-law made. You bought it yesterday!”

With that, they both burst into laughter.

“Sister-in-law, my watermelons are so popular. That boss, Liu Huaqiang, wants more, but I don’t have any left now. I’ve thought about it, I want to plant another season. What do you think?”

Halfway through dinner, Wang Dafu brought up the matter.

Wu Xianhua put down her chopsticks and nodded, “This boss seems pretty reliable. But if we plant another season, will we be able to sell the watermelons?”

Wu Xianhua’s concern was not unreasonable. At that time, watermelons would be everywhere, cheap and in many varieties.

She thought that Wang Dafu’s watermelons had sold so well these past two days because they were the first to be on the market.

“My watermelons are definitely different from others. Besides, Liu Huaqiang has tasted my watermelons. He won’t want others’. Even though there will be a lot of watermelons then, he’ll still buy mine!”

Wang Dafu was very confident. One reason was what Liu Huaqiang had said today. The workers on the construction site had eaten his watermelons and none of them had gotten heatstroke. They were more energetic and didn’t feel the heat.

This effect was not something ordinary watermelons could achieve.

Seeing Wang Dafu so confident, Wu Xianhua didn’t want to pour cold water on him. She could only nod in agreement.

“Okay then. When we have time in a couple of days, I’ll go buy those watermelon seedlings again. Will we plant them in the same place?”

Wang Dafu shook his head, “No, we need to change locations. There are a lot of bad people in the village. If we make too much noise, people will be watching. We might have trouble then!”

Wu Xianhua looked at Wang Dafu and thought that he wasn’t stupid at all.

“Where should we plant them?”

“Sister-in-law, do we have any land west of the village? There’s a mountain path there. I think it’s a good place!”

Wu Xianhua thought for a moment, “West? There’s no land, but there are mountains. We’ll need to clear the land!”

Wang Dafu decided, “That’s settled then. Sister-in-law, take me there in a couple of days. I’ll clear the land!”

Wu Xianhua thought that clearing the land was a big project and thought it would be better to find another place. But seeing Wang Dafu’s determined look, she didn’t say anything.

After dinner, Wu Xianhua went to wash the dishes. It was getting late. Wang Dafu transferred all the money in his phone, over twenty thousand yuan, to Wu Xianhua, then patted his behind and prepared to go see Yanchun.

He was dressed simply in a pair of floral underpants, a white tank top, and flip-flops. He had temporarily hidden the small gourd in a secret place.

He hadn’t walked a few steps when, as he passed a cornfield, a hand suddenly reached out from inside and pulled him in.

Wang Dafu didn’t pay attention and was immediately pulled in, running into the cornfield. He thought it was some villain and was about to fight back when he suddenly realized it was Wang Xueqi.

“Little sister, it’s you? What are you doing?”

Wang Xueqi blushed, her face still tear-stained, as if she had just cried. Her long eyelashes blinked, beautiful and charming.

She was also wearing a tank top, tight-fitting, perfectly outlining her figure. She wore a pair of denim shorts and her snow-white long legs were in a pair of thick-soled flip-flops.

In terms of figure, Wang Xueqi was definitely no worse than Yanchun or Xianhua.

It’s just that she was younger and hadn’t interacted with many men yet, so she didn’t have that mature feminine charm.

“Dafu, keep me company…”

Wang Xueqi sniffed, looking pitiful.

“What’s wrong? Did your family scold you?”

Wang Dafu smiled.

Wang Xueqi nodded, “You know my mom’s temper. I’ve been back for less than three hours, and she’s already giving me trouble. I had a fight with her and ran out!”

Wang Dafu squatted down, “Then why did you run to the cornfield?”

“I…” Wang Xueqi hesitated, blushing, “It’s quiet in the cornfield, no one is around.”

“It’s dark and you won’t be able to see anything soon. You should go back quickly. Your dad will be worried about you!”

Wang Dafu said kindly, wanting to leave the cornfield.

Wang Xueqi grabbed Wang Dafu and shook her head, “If I go back now, my mom will definitely beat me to death!”

“Wow, Xueqi, your mom is so cruel?”

Wang Dafu really disliked Zhang Laopozi. He didn’t expect that she would be so vicious to her own daughter.

Wang Xueqi gritted her teeth, blushing, and whispered, “Dafu, what did you just say?”

Wang Dafu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, “I just blurted it out. Don’t think too much about it.”

Wang Xueqi was silent for a while, feeling that it was time. She decided to ask Wang Dafu about the watermelons.

“Dafu, those watermelons you had in your cart today…”
