Chapter 21: Dare to Have Ideas About Me? Wait and See!

Iron Orchid was so busy that she forgot everything. When her stomach started rumbling, she realized it was already noon. She didn’t have time to make those stews, so she decided to make something simple.

Iron Orchid looked at the ingredients in the Delicious Pavilion in the space. There were still plenty of eggs, so she decided to make a scallion egg pancake.

She prepared ten eggs, a bowl of scallions, and a bowl of flour. She chopped the scallions into small pieces, beat the eggs with chopsticks, and mixed them together. She added water to the flour and stirred it into a batter, then added the scallion and egg mixture and stirred quickly.

Then, she heated oil in a pan, poured in the scallion, egg, and flour batter, and cooked it over low heat. When both sides were golden brown, she took it out and added more batter.

Iron Orchid fried three batches before finishing all the batter. 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. She felt a little unsatisfied, so she ate a banana before stopping.

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

After lunch, Iron Orchid went for a walk in the space to digest her food as usual. When she passed by the black land planting area in the back, she was surprised to find that the seeds in the ground had skipped the germination stage and directly sprouted leaves.

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

Iron Orchid knew that the space had a good environment and time flowed faster, so the seeds would grow faster, but she didn’t expect it to be so fast.

At this rate, the grain that would normally take three to four months to mature would probably be harvested in a month.

That meant that in a month, she would be able to eat the grain she had planted herself?!

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

Wow! Another fortune was coming!

Iron Orchid was overjoyed, she couldn’t help but jump, spin, and skip. This time, she didn’t trip and fell, she landed perfectly!

She had been eating so much every day, her body had recovered quite a bit. Now, Iron Orchid 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!”

Iron Orchid was in a good mood, and she started practicing a set of boxing. She was fierce and powerful, very impressive.

If Niu Da-pang was here, he would probably be stunned. Last time Iron Orchid beat people up, he was busy spinning around, he didn’t see anything, and he was still skeptical.

After exercising, Iron Orchid wasn’t sleepy at all, and she didn’t want to take a nap. She was about to go to the Book Fragrance Pavilion to read, when the door to the courtyard was suddenly knocked on.

“Is anyone home…”

Iron Orchid opened the door and saw a cheerful round face.

This person was dressed in red, with a big red flower on her head, and her cheeks were rouged like a monkey’s bottom. Although Iron Orchid didn’t recognize her, she guessed her identity – a matchmaker.

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

“Lanyan, I’m Wang, the matchmaker. Congratulations, congratulations! There’s a good man who wants to propose to you today! He’s a very excellent man!”

Iron Orchid was stunned at first. Then, a look of indescribable expression appeared on her face: “You’re not talking about Chen Jian from Aunt Ma’s house, are you?”

A look of surprise flashed in Wang’s eyes: “Oh, you already know, it’s him! He’s handsome and has a secure job, what a good choice! If you agree to this marriage, you’ll have a good life!”

Iron Orchid sneered, picked up the broom next to her, and started chasing her away.

“Get out! Get out! Get out! I don’t want to marry him, a divorced old man, he wants to eat young grass, he’s dreaming!”

Iron Orchid was really angry now. She had already made it clear yesterday.

Aunt Ma was still not giving up, she even dared to send a matchmaker to her door, did she think Iron Orchid wouldn’t dare to resist?

Don’t push me, or you’ll regret it!

Alright, she would pay a late-night visit tonight and beat the mother and son with a sack!

……

That night, Iron Orchid disguised herself. She wore black clothes, smeared her exposed skin with black paint, and covered her face with a black cloth, leaving only her eyes visible.

When she was ready, Iron Orchid sneaked into Aunt Ma’s yard. As she reached the windowsill, she heard their voices coming from inside the house.

Chen Jian: “Mom, why did you ask the matchmaker to arrange a marriage so quickly? Iron Orchid’s parents have only been gone for a month, she definitely won’t agree!”

Aunt Ma: “You don’t understand, this girl is a piece of fat now, so many people are eyeing her! Before, it was her cousin Zhang Cui, everyone didn’t dare to make a move, now her relatives don’t live here anymore, everyone is getting restless. If you don’t hurry up, someone else will get there first, wouldn’t that be a loss!”

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

Aunt Ma spat: “That dead girl has high standards, she doesn’t even like you, she thinks she’s something special! An orphan who’s gone crazy, her mind might not even be normal, 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’s already refused, it’s not going to happen.”

He actually liked Iron Orchid quite a bit, she was fair and tender, right up his alley.

A mother knows her son best. Seeing her son sighing, Aunt Ma guessed his thoughts.

She rolled her eyes: “Son, do you really want to marry her? If you want to marry her, I have another way!”

Chen Jian was stunned: “What other way do you have?”

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

……

Under the windowsill.

Iron Orchid’s 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.

The most satisfying revenge would be to empty her house and leave her with nothing.

Iron Orchid’s eyes were filled with a cold, sharp smile.

Humph, dare to have ideas about me? Wait and see!
