Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 252 - 83: Rights and Wrongs

She passed it to others to look at, "Isn’t it beautiful?"

The ladies weren’t sure if they understood it, but all praised, "Very nice."

Su Xiaocai didn’t know where to put her hands, so she tucked them behind her back.

The painting was quite ordinary; after all, she hadn’t painted in years, and her skills were rusty.

It succeeds perhaps in its mood.

They forced compliments, making her embarrassed.

Seeing Su Xiaocai silent, Luo Yun asked, "Is the artist not convenient to mention?"

"Not inconvenient." Su Xiaocai bowed her head slightly, pretending to be shy, "I painted it myself."

Initially, she wanted to buy a beautiful-priced painting.

The ones raised to hundreds of thousands, she couldn’t understand.

The ones she understood only cost a few dozen yuan; they were nice for her own walls but not suitable to gift an Admiral for a birthday.

After much thought, she resorted to buying colored ink and painting herself.

Luo Li and Luo Yun looked at the painting, then at her.

"Impossible, right?"

"Oh, then it’s not mine." She wasn’t too concerned about art ownership; art is subjective.

To a lover, it’s priceless; to a trader, it might still be valuable.

Su Xiaocai considered herself lacking an eye for art; she painted and played instruments merely to temper herself, to reduce occasional outbreaks of aggression.

Since arriving in this world, she hadn’t been aggressive.

Luo Yun and Luo Li knew Su Xiaocai was joking; the ink hadn’t dried, clearly a last-minute painting.

"Thoughtful, I really like this painting; all my birthday gifts go to auction, did Qingqing tell you?" Luo Yun invited her to sit down, "Sit here with me."

Luo Li made space, joining the other ladies.

Su Xiaocai: "Birthday gifts as auction items?" Wu Qingqing never mentioned it.

"Qingqing didn’t tell you?"

"No!"

"Is there still going to be an introduction of where the gifts came from?"

Despite not wanting to hear "Yes," Luo Li nodded affirmatively.

It was a miscalculation; had she known, she would have bought a dozen-yuan artwork—at least she wouldn’t be the only one embarrassed.

Luo Li saw Su Xiaocai’s wilted expression and teased, "No worries, your work is excellent; all of us think so, it definitely won’t fail to sell."

Enough, Ms. Luo, her stilettos weren’t very stable today; her toes could hardly cope.

Luo Yun wasn’t as teasing as Luo Li; this former Admiral was like any ordinary woman, keen to ask about children’s academics, friends, hobbies, interests.

"Have you already decided to go into business? I heard you have great command talent and mecha piloting skills; a military career would have bright prospects."

"I’m quite accomplished already."

Luo Yun didn’t find Su Xiaocai boastful.

She lovingly patted her on the head, "Let me introduce the ladies here to you." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"This lady, Deng Ping, is a researcher at the Ten Stars Cosmic Energy Development Bureau; you probably haven’t met her, but you should’ve heard of her; she’s Hu Ning’s wife."

Energy Development Bureau researcher, sounding illustrious.

Su Xiaocai: "Uncle Hu always boasts about Sister Deng’s high knowledge in front of us, today I finally meet her in person."

Deng Ping smiled showing her teeth, "You call Hu Ning Uncle Hu, why do you call me Sister Deng?"

"Everyone has their own title; Uncle Hu looks stable and mature, Sister Deng is young and gentle, I can’t say Auntie out loud." Deng Ping did appear young, with delicate features and a petite frame wrapped in a white dress, stunningly beautiful.

Lucky President Hu.

Deng Ping burst out laughing, Hu Ning stable and mature?

Uh, the hefty frame, certainly heavy.

"I’ll definitely make him lose weight when I get back, definitely too heavy."

Su Xiaocai was a delight, articulate without flattery.

She kept the atmosphere lively with just the right pacing, never annoying yet ensuring everyone stayed engaged.

The somewhat reserved ladies unknowingly got drawn into the whirlpool of conversation, unable to escape.

Within twenty minutes, Su Xiaocai relaxed the ladies, starting to chat about the insider gossip.

"Do you know, the Yi Family’s expelled illegitimate son now lives in a densely populated neighborhood. He even got his leg broken."

Hearing Yi Suilu got his leg broken, Su Xiaocai was ecstatic; her enemy’s downfall proved her retaliations were effective.

The Yi Family abandoning an illegitimate son they’d raised for over ten years was cruel yet rightly done, a sick mind needs fixing to learn.

Another lady inquisitively asked, "Broken leg? Why was he beaten?"

"I heard it was because he was too arrogant, hard to understand the audacity of an illegitimate child. He brazenly took someone’s pet and brought it home. CCTV showed how he brought it home, cooked and ate it."
