Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 579 - 578: Quite a Lot Has Changed

She smiled at the two before pointing at the bowls and chopsticks nearby.

Shen Qingju understood and hurriedly stacked the bowls and chopsticks, handing them to her, "Sorry to trouble you, sister-in-law!"

Rong Shi smiled and glanced at the cradle, whispering, "You two chat first!"

Shen Qingju smiled and nodded.

When Rong Shi left, Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "She really has changed quite a bit."

Hearing this, Shen Qingju merely smiled, "You’ve been living in the village recently, hasn’t Young Master Duan said anything?"

"What can he say?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "He’s got his own matters to attend to."

Before long, Duan Nian and the others will return to Yongning Manor, indicating that the battle with Chen Qi is about to begin.

Whether the plan succeeds will depend on how much Chen Qi trusts Feng Wuya.

"I can’t sit any longer," Shen Qinglan stood up and said, "I’ve arranged to discuss something with my cousin, he should have finished his meal by now."

"Alright!" Shen Qingju said, "You should head back early, don’t keep cousin waiting."

"Okay," Shen Qinglan said, "I’ll be off then, I’ll visit you next time."

By the time she returned home, Shen Qingning hadn’t arrived yet.

"Miss!"

Xichun and the others gestured toward her.

Shen Qinglan smiled and nodded at them.

"You’ve finally returned," Dong Yao said with a slight glance, "Were you sending soup or yourself to your sister?"

"Qinglan is back," Qiu Li said with a smile, "Come over and eat."

"I’ve already eaten, you all go ahead!" Shen Qinglan glanced at the table, frowning slightly, "Where are Dad and Second Brother?"

Dong Yao said, "Didn’t your uncle bring back some game? Your uncle just came over and called them for a drink."

"Oh," Shen Qinglan sat at the table and looked at Dong Yao, "I went to town today and ran into Yunfei. He said they’ll return to the manor in a couple of days, so we should head back too."

"So soon?" Dong Yao pondered and nodded, "Alright then, let’s head back the day after tomorrow. Your Second Brother will stay to care for your Second Sister-in-law, it’s enough for me, your father, and you to go."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "That’s fine!"

Qiu Li said, "I’m alright, Lian Qiu and the others are here, if Aunt Duan is heading back, Qingzhu should tag along."

"We have everything covered, doesn’t matter who goes!" Dong Yao said, "You need someone watching over you constantly, Xichun is busy with this and that, can’t look after everything, so Qingzhu should stay."

"Mother is right," Shen Qinglan said, "Second Brother should stay at home."

The village houses aren’t large enough, so only Xichun, Lian Qiu, and Nian Xia could come along.

Just as the table was cleared, someone entered the yard.

"Qingning, why are you here?" Dong Yao asked, "Have you eaten your fill?"

"Don’t worry Aunt, I’ve eaten enough!" Shen Qingning smiled, "I’m here to discuss something with Qinglan."

Shen Qinglan pulled over a chair, indicating for Shen Qingning to sit.

Qiu Li, Dong Yao, and the others, seeing they had something to discuss, didn’t approach but quietly chatted on the side.

Shen Qinglan briefly went over her plan to plant fruit trees with Shen Qingning.

After listening, Shen Qingning frowned slightly, "Two hundred acres, all planted with fruit trees?"

"We can plant different kinds," Shen Qinglan said, "Of course, we could also plant some melons and vegetables."

"That works!" Shen Qingning said, "Clearing the land of trees and weeds will likely take a lot of time, we can decide what to plant later."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Cousin, don’t worry about that, I’ll hire someone to take care of it."
