Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 702 - 701: Spent All the Family’s Savings

Although Shen Qinglan had walked far away, the conversation between the two still drifted into her ears, causing her to raise an eyebrow in surprise.

The son has reformed himself, so why is the mother not pleased?

However, as the conversation continued, she suddenly understood why Zhou Si’s mother was displeased.

She heard Zhou Si complain, "Mother, I am your son. Isn’t it a good thing that I have reformed?"

The woman sneered, "Your reformation cost our family everything we had."

To treat Zhou Si’s hand, the Zhou Family had to spend almost all their remaining money. Whenever Zhou Si’s mother thought about this, she couldn’t help but feel pain in her chest.

The distant Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but chuckle.

It seems that she hadn’t seen Sun He for a long time, specifically since Shen Qingzhu’s wedding; he had not been spotted in the village.

Word had it that the incident of him killing the little girl he brought back was exposed, and fearing the Government might come after him, he fled from guilt.

Of course, this was just hearsay, and there was no sign of government officials ever coming. It’s likely just the villagers’ suspicion.

As for why Sun He left suddenly and where he went, that remains unknown.

When Shen Qinglan reached the mountain, she saw everyone putting up sheds, even Old Master Shen lending a hand.

Shen Qingning was helping and instructing everyone on what to do.

Everyone seemed so engrossed in their work that no one noticed her arrival.

Before she went to Bright Moon City, Shen Qingning had come to consult with her about what to plant.

After discussing, Shen Qingning felt that planting only fruit trees was too costly, labor-intensive, and time-consuming, yielding no income in the short term.

After much thought, Shen Qinglan suggested planting half vegetables, half fruit trees.

Shen Qingning agreed and planned to leave half of the hillside for planting vegetables the following spring.

Shen Qinglan then proposed growing vegetables in greenhouses.

Afraid of the risks, Shen Qingning initially disagreed, but hearing Shen Qinglan wanted to try, he reluctantly agreed.

They ended up buying cloth, tung oil, and more cloth, which cost a significant amount. Shen Qingning felt heartache seeing the expenditure.

However, he thought that if they could successfully grow the vegetables, it could indeed bring in a lot of money.

After all, there were no fresh vegetables to eat in winter, even for wealthy families.

As the saying goes, rarity lends value; if all the vegetables on this half of the mountain slope thrive, breaking even would not be far off.

Shen Qinglan stood by for a while before leisurely walking over.

Noticing someone approaching, Shen Qingning didn’t think much and continued directing the work.

"Move a bit forward, or it will be hard to bury later."

He squatted down to tug on the oilcloth, then used the hoe to bury the excess cloth edge with soil.

"Qinglan, what are you doing here?"

Sweating profusely, Shen Shan was about to take a break for some water when he saw Shen Qinglan standing nearby, smiling at them.

"Father!"

Shen Qingning paused and turned his head, only to realize that the person standing next to him was Shen Qinglan.

He exclaimed, "Qinglan, when did you get here?"

Shen Qinglan cleared her throat and said to the two, "I’ve been here a while, but seeing you all busy, I didn’t want to disturb."

Old Master Shen and Shen Tang, noticing her as well, came over with smiles.

"Grandpa, Uncle Third."

Both responded in unison.

Old Master Shen asked, smiling, "Girl, when did you get home?"

Shen Qinglan replied with a smile, "Just got here this morning."
