Chapter 294 A good business
Yu Dong’s fields were at a good distance from her house, even though Yu Dong took Aunt Wang’s ox cart, it took her half an hour to reach her strawberry fields. When she reached her fields and looked around her six mu of farmland that was equally divided, Yu Dong realised that the strawberries and blueberries plantations has exceeded her expectations. The entire six mu of farmland was covered with lush green plants, the sawtooth edged leaves rustled in one half while the other half was covered with perennial shrubs, as the elliptical leaves smoothly moved along with the direction of winds as if competing with the strawberry plants/Generally, the blueberries plants take ten years to reach their mature size and a good two or three years before they were ready to begin harvest on large scales but with Yu Dong’s spiritual powers she didn’t have to worry about such a thing. After all, who in the apocalypse world would have the sweet time to raise a blueberry plant when they were being chased by a living dead? But this was a good thing too, even if someone tried to steal her business it would take them a good number of years. And by that time, her business would be nicely established.
” Ah, I think they have ripened now,” said Aunt Wang as she got off her ox cart and looked around the fields that were full of green leaves that were dotted with red and blue. She was actually surprised that these plants actually grew in these fields back then when Yu Dong separated from the old Yu family—-Aunt Wang had sneakily checked the quality of the soil in these fields. Even though she was no expert she was still able to realise that these fields were barren and the soil was infertile. When she found out that the Yu family has given Yu Dong barren pieces of land she wanted to fight with them but her husband stopped saying that even if she were to put this matter forward, the villagers will still support the Yu family.
’ Those fertile lands will be a waste in the hands of Yu Dong—— this is exactly the villagers and the Yu Family will say.’ That was what her husband had said back then. But now look at these plants that were stretched all over the six mu of land, compared to the Yu family fields that were having trouble now because of the lack of care. Yu Dong’s fields were flourishing like crazy! Humph, who said Karma was blind? Wasn’t this the Karma of the Yu family?
Yu Dong didn’t know what was going on in Aunt Wang’s head she just nodded her head as she picked two blueberries and handed one to Aunt Wang while eating the other one herself. ” Mhmm, I think they are ready to be harvested.”
Aunt Wang tasted the exotic fruit that she has never eaten before and immediately fell love in with the sweet explosion. ” Dong Dong, ah, this is really delicious. I am afraid that I haven’t eaten anything like this in my life before.”
Aunt Wang wasn’t lying when she said this, though the air and water of this world were indeed better than the apocalypse world, not everyone had spiritual powers like Yu Dong who can make any fruit taste more exotic than any other fruit. The blueberries and strawberries grown by Yu Dong were indeed a lot better.
Yu Dong smiled. ” Thank you, Aunt Wang. If you like them, you can always come and pick some for your family.”
” Oh there is no need for that is it?” said Aunt Wang as she waved her hand. “It’s better to keep a good check of these exotic fruits, in case you let me take them, I am afraid that the villagers would try to haggle with you next.”
These fruits that Yu Dong was growing in her fields have long become a point of discussion for the villagers. If not for Lang who kept a good check on the fields, one or two baskets of these berries would have been stolen every night.
Yu Dong didn’t say anything, she was very clear that apart from Aunt Wang and uncle Fu, no other villager has ever stretched their hands to help her back when she needed it. So, even if she was willing to give a basket or two to Aunt Wang, she will never hand these berries to others for free but it was still better to give these berries to Aunt Wang in secret lest the villagers made trouble for her later on.
————
After checking up on the fields Yu Dong returned home while Aunt Wang left for town, neither of them discussed anything about the berries anymore. They were afraid that if the villagers eavesdropped on their conversation then the berry fields will be in trouble.
” Oh, you are back?” asked Shen Li who just came out to get a bunch of cucumbers, Ye Liu was upset with the small patch of land that was allocated to the vegetables in the backyard and made a fuss. In the end, Yu Dong made four separate small gardens for her four husbands, while Fang Chi’s was still empty, it was well taken care of, Shen Li’s had a few tomatoes since he liked eating them with sugar as for Ye Liu, he has skilfully bullied Yu Dong into helping him grow a complete stock of vegetables. Among these flourishing small house gardens, there was one dry patch of land that belonged to Chen Mi, and he was yet to think about what he wanted to grow in it.
” Mhmm, I am back,” said Yu Dong as she strode to Shen Li and kissed him fully on the lips, the three of them had their sweet good morning it would be a shame if only Shen Li was left out.
Shen Li was surprised when Yu Dong kissed him but when her sweet taste burst in his mouth, he ended up craving more. He raised his hand and cupped Yu Dong’s face as she sipped on his lips, Shen Li could feel the warmth of her body pressing against him as well as his own body reacting fervently because of her touches. Worried that he would end up getting a hard-on in the middle of the day, he pulled away, his cheeks flushed and lips were swollen. Yu Dong was peering down at him causing his blush to spread all over his face and neck. ” I will prepare the breakfast for you.”
After saying this he ran back into the house.
