Chapter 39: Precious Fertilizer
Wang Dafu smiled, “Did your former husband have any extra land? It’s best if it’s secluded, so no one sees it. Clear it out. You just need to plant the watermelon seedlings. I’ll take care of the rest of the cultivation. I guarantee a high yield and good prices. You won’t have to worry about selling them!”
Yanchun Jie pondered for a moment, “There is some land, but my deadbeat husband went out to work, and his second uncle’s family took over a lot of it to plant. If I plant watermelons, they’ll definitely be suspicious!”
Wang Dafu scratched his head and smiled, “Just take back your husband’s land. It’s a simple matter. If you can’t handle it, just call me!”
With that, Wang Dafu didn’t linger and walked out of the courtyard.
Yanchun Jie was stunned. She watched Wang Dafu’s back, feeling like the fool had become so manly, so awesome…
Wang Dafu, carrying a bucket in one hand and a bag of vegetables in the other, happily returned to his home.
As soon as he entered, he heard his Sister-in-law’s voice.
“Dafu, how did it go?”
Wang Dafu looked up and saw Wu Xianhua standing at the kitchen door. He grinned and raised the bucket, showing off.
“Not bad. I gave half to Yanchun Jie, and I brought half back. I’ll stew loaches for Sister-in-law tomorrow!”
Wu Xianhua walked over and took a look. It was indeed good. The loaches and eels were big and fat. This kind of wild food couldn’t be bought even in the market. Many of the ones outside were farmed, and they didn’t taste good. They were also fed with birth control pills and other things. How could they compare to the good stuff from the countryside?
At this moment, Wu Xianhua glanced at the vegetables and melons beside them and instantly understood what was going on. She smiled, “Did your Sister Yanchun Jie give you vegetables again?”
“Hehe, she can’t eat that much by herself. They might go bad if she keeps them. She insisted on bringing them back for me and Sister-in-law to eat!”
Wu Xianhua snorted. She had mixed feelings about Yanchun Jie.
“You fool, go wash up and go to bed. You have to clear the land tomorrow. It’s a lot of physical work. Don’t worry about things at home. Sister-in-law is here!”
Wu Xianhua quickly returned to her role as a good wife and mother, telling Wang Dafu to go take a bath.
Wang Dafu drew a bucket of cold water and prepared to go to the bathroom. He turned back and looked at Wu Xianhua, remembering the vegetable garden.
“Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you. Tomorrow, our vegetable garden will probably grow a lot of good things, and they’ll taste good too. I used the same techniques and fertilizer as I used for the watermelons. Pick some and try them. If they’re good, I think we can sell the vegetables from the garden. It’ll definitely be good business!”
Wu Xianhua was surprised, “What techniques and fertilizer? I didn’t see anything.”
Wang Dafu smiled mysteriously, “It’s my precious fertilizer, of course!”
With that, he went into the bathroom in his floral shorts, leaving Wu Xianhua dumbfounded.
“Precious fertilizer?” She thought about it more and more, and she seemed to understand something. Her face flushed, and she laughed and scolded, “You big fool, did you just pee in the vegetable garden? You want Sister-in-law to eat peppers and tomatoes that were fertilized with your pee?”
From the bathroom, Wang Dafu’s humming voice could be heard: “My little sister sits at the bow of the boat, my brother walks on the shore, we love each other, the rope swings gently…”
Wu Xianhua was sorting out the vegetables and loaches. Hearing the song, she felt a tingle in her heart, her face flushed. She muttered a curse about being shameless and quickly retreated to her room.
The night passed quickly.
Wang Dafu got up early, tidied himself up, ate a quick breakfast, and then took his hoe and machete to clear the land.
He was short on time and had a lot to do. He had to clear the land quickly. Then, he had to plant watermelons and cultivate them. All of this had to be done within a month. If it weren’t for the mysterious liquid in the gourd, he wouldn’t be able to do it even if he had three heads and six arms.
Before leaving, he went to the vegetable garden to check on things. The mysterious liquid was too powerful. It didn’t disappoint him. All the vegetables in the garden, the peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, loofahs, bitter melons, and all kinds of organic vegetables, were much bigger than yesterday. They had also produced many new fruits. Each one looked perfect, green where it should be green, red where it should be red. It was dazzling.
“My goodness, the vegetables in this garden will make a small fortune.”
He chuckled and picked a cucumber. He didn’t even wash it before putting it in his mouth.
It was fragrant, sweet, and crunchy. He then left the garden, humming a tune as he walked towards the valley west of the village.
Not long after he left, Wu Xianhua came out. She was carrying a basket and was about to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. She hadn’t taken Wang Dafu’s words to heart last night. As soon as she entered the garden, her eyes widened in amazement, as if Monkey King had entered the Peach Garden. She was completely stunned.
“This is… The fool wasn’t lying. How did the vegetables change so much? It’s like magic!”
She held a handful of tomatoes and looked at them. Then, she grabbed a handful of peppers and examined them. She then pulled off a cucumber, opened her mouth, and took a bite. It was fragrant and delicious. She was speechless.
“It seems the fool used some kind of trick. These vegetables are so good. We can’t eat them all ourselves. We can definitely sell them and make some money!”
Wu Xianhua smiled excitedly. However, she didn’t plan to sell the vegetables herself today. She didn’t know how to ride a tricycle. Wang Dafu was clearing the land, and he would need to eat when he came back. Someone had to stay home.
Wu Xianhua picked a basket full of vegetables from the garden. As she returned to the courtyard, Wang Xueqi walked in, carrying a bucket and swaying her hips. She was smiling.
“Sister-in-law, where’s Dafu?”
