Chapter 108 : Forgiveness is Impossible

Su Ranran wasn’t as confident as they were. To be on the safe side, she even used her own small vegetable plot for the rice seedlings.

Fortunately, her plot was on the periphery, close to the stream, making it convenient to just fence it off and let water in to till the soil. The vegetable plot wasn’t very big to begin with, and Su Ranran quickly tilled the soil and sowed the sprouted rice seeds.

Half of this batch of seeds were from space, and the other half were ordinary rice seeds.

Su Ranran was afraid that it would be too eye-catching, so she didn’t dare to use all of the space-grown rice.

She didn’t have any psychological burden about using the rice seeds from space.

She had so much energy; why bother to go far away?

Seeing Su Ranran sowing the rice seeds, the eyes of the military wives were filled with hope.

“Ranran, do you think this rice can really survive on Pingzhou Island?”

Someone couldn’t help but ask, but there was a hint of uneasiness on her face, as if she was afraid of being disappointed by Su Ranran again.

Su Ranran smiled and didn’t care about the doubts.

“I don’t know if it can survive, but I’ve seen research on this and I want to give it a try.”

Although she said this, the military wives couldn’t help but feel that the rice had a good chance.

“If your rice really survives, the country will give you a medal, right?”

After all, it was rice grown in saline-alkali land, and in their opinion, it was as magical as the Dongfanghong-1 flying into the sky.

Hearing this, Su Ranran thought of the old man who had worked silently in the fields, doing monotonous and boring work for decades, solving the big food problem for the country.

And she had just used the power of space, which wasn’t anything special.

“How can that be? There are many predecessors who are better than me, and I’ve only just touched the door of this field, which is nothing.”

Listening to her humble words, the military wives’ favorability for her grew again.

Capable people are often a bit arrogant, but Su Ranran was not only good-looking and capable, but also low-key.

How could they not like her?

The military wives were watching Su Ranran’s rice field when suddenly someone shouted excitedly.

“Come and see, my lettuce has sprouted!”

Upon hearing this, the whole vegetable field was in an uproar.

Lettuce! They had tried planting vegetable seeds countless times, but none had survived.

Now, Lin Qiulian was actually saying that her lettuce had sprouted?

For a moment, everyone forgot about watching Su Ranran’s rice field and ran to Lin Qiulian’s vegetable field.

“Where is it?” Zhong Juhua looked left and right but couldn’t see where the lettuce was.

Lin Qiulian pointed to the small bit of green covered by the soil and said, “Here!”

She looked so cautious that anyone who didn’t know would think there was some treasure in the soil, not green vegetables.

But no one present laughed at her. Everyone stared at the little bit of green emerging from the cracks in the soil.

“It’s true!”

Someone said in surprise, looking so happy as though the lettuce had been planted by herself.

“Lettuce can really be grown! Ranran, the seeds you cultivated are amazing, aren’t they?”

It turned out that these rapeseeds were distributed by Su Ranran to the military wives a few days ago.

Just as Shen He had said, Su Ranran had now become a technical master of vegetable planting on Pingzhou Island. The military wives were so excited to receive her rapeseed.

After getting the rapeseed, they all planted it in the curved vegetable field as if they had picked up a great bargain.

Sure enough, the seeds did not disappoint their expectations. They sprouted in just four days.

Now, everyone was completely convinced.

They had even begun to imagine the scene of eating fresh green vegetables with their bellies full in the future.

Two new hydroponic pools had been dug in the hydroponic base, waiting for the water spinach in the first pool to grow well. Once it was ready, a section would be cut and placed in the seed pool for cuttings.

After the military wives watched Lin Qiulian’s lettuce, which had not yet fully broken through the soil, they returned to the family courtyard, satisfied. It was so lively along the way.

The curve of Su Ranran’s belly was a little noticeable now, but the clothes she wore were loose, so it wasn’t very obvious.

Still, as a first-time pregnant woman, she found it amazing.

It was hard to imagine that there were now two little ones in her belly.

Shen He had been on Sifang Island for five days and hadn’t come back yet. This made her, who had been calm until now, a little worried.

After all, there were no mobile phones in this era, so it was impossible to know how he was doing.

The other military wives were very calm.

After all, the men often went out on missions, so why worry about it?

It was better to take care of the family and the children.

The group talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the family compound. Those who lived nearby went straight home.

Zhong Juhua’s house was next to Su Ranran’s, and Shen He had asked her to take care of Su Ranran before he left.

Therefore, she always dutifully saw people to the doorstep.

Today was no different.

Passing by her own house, Zhong Juhua didn’t go in but continued to accompany Su Ranran to her house.

It was only about ten steps away, and Su Ranran was a little helpless.

“Juhua, you really don’t have to send me to the door. I’m not a child. I can just call you if there’s anything.”

But how could Zhong Juhua listen? After all, she had almost been hit at the doorstep last time.

“That won’t do. I promised Shen He that if I don’t take good care of you, he’ll be angry with me later.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two saw Lu Haiyan standing at the door of Su Ranran’s house.

She looked haggard, with messy hair, and appeared extremely embarrassed.

Seeing her, Zhong Juhua’s expression changed, as if facing a great enemy.

“Lu Haiyan, you dare to come here?”

She hadn’t bothered her much after the last time she almost hit Su Ranran, but now, Lu Haiyan had the nerve to come to her door?

Lu Haiyan’s face turned red, looking humiliated and embarrassed.

“Su… Sister-in-law, I came here specially to apologize to you.”

Su Ranran:…

Zhong Juhua:…

Looking at her expression, anyone who knew she was apologizing would think she was here to cause trouble.

“No need to apologize, after all, you won’t be living here soon,” Su Ranran said indifferently.

She had no good temper towards the person who had almost hit her. As for forgiveness? That was even more impossible!

Sure enough, as soon as Su Ranran finished speaking, Lu Haiyan’s expression twisted for a moment.

Zhong Juhua was startled and immediately protected Su Ranran, saying coldly to Lu Haiyan “If you really want to apologize sincerely, stay away from Ranran.”

Who wouldn’t be nervous seeing such a dangerous person standing in front of them?

But just as Zhong Juhua finished speaking, she saw Lu Haiyan kneel on the ground with a plop.

Su Ranran frowned and turned to the side.

“Sister-in-law, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry. I apologize to you. Please help me persuade Datong. I can’t divorce him. How can I live with dignity after the divorce? I might as well die.”
