Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 240 - Chapter 240 240. Where do you live_1

Chapter 240: 240. Where do you live_1 Chapter 240: 240. Where do you live_1 Zhang Yanping already knew that Wu Lei would be tagging along before he got on the car, so he didn’t show any surprise.

He just excitedly reported to Song Tan as he got on:

“Tantan, I brought a packet of tea leaves for everyone to enjoy today, and now I’ve sold another two pounds.”

However, since there were no goods on the car, these two pounds would have to be shipped later.

Song Tan was instantly delighted, “Wow, Brother Yanping, turns out you really have a lot of connections!”

Zhang Yanping’s expression was melancholy, “If you were willing to let me make two thousand per pound, I’d have even more connections.”

“A thousand works too.”

Song Tan silently caught his reflection in the rearview mirror and sighed:

“Brother Yanping, we’re relatives, you making money off me doesn’t seem quite right.”

Heh.

Zhang Yanping snorted, “You’re such a penny-pincher.”

But now that he had his own income thanks to Song Tan’s business, he was just joking.

Wu Lei and Zhu Li exchanged glances, utterly confused by all this talk of a thousand, two thousand–

Two thousand for a pound of tea leaves?

What on earth were they talking about!

The local tea leaves in their area would make about two thousand for ten pounds all packaged up.

The pair had also played all day in the amusement park, and now, they were too sleepy to ponder these matters further and simply exchanged greetings before dozing off.

Song Tan, however, was full of energy. As the car slowly left the city area, she suddenly remembered, “Oh right, Brother Wu Lei, did you let your uncle and aunt know you’re coming home?

They should at least prepare the bedding for you in the middle of the night.”

Wu Lei quickly shook his head, “No need, I’ll just go directly to your place tonight.”

That way he would avoid the hassle of riding the motorcycle over early in the morning–

“Do you have a place to sleep?”

Ah, that’s a problem, there really isn’t one.

Song Tan spoke honestly, “Our family is planning to build a house, and we’ll probably start dismantling the old one these next couple of days. Brother Yanping is staying with the chef, and the rest of us have moved in with my grandpa.”

“Ah?”

Zhu Li expressed her puzzled sigh, “I was hoping to capture some shots of the idyllic scenery at your place early tomorrow…”

Song Tan didn’t mind, “Brother Wu Lei’s place is also rural, and it’s not far away, you can take photos there just the same.”

But would it be the same? His place didn’t have a big, beautiful peach orchard!

And…

“Leilei’s family doesn’t have a car, do they, Leilei? Tantan, could you come pick us up tomorrow morning?”

She remembered the schedule for her live stream; nine in the morning would be too late, unacceptable!

Song Tan: …

It wasn’t impossible, because the construction team would come for an on-site survey in the morning, and she needed to go to town to buy some meat and vegetables anyway.

Today’s outing had netted her twenty thousand from the sale of tea leaves, plus the eighty thousand from Zhang Yanping’s sales, and a little under ten thousand from the honey…

This sum of money was more than enough to present the first round of funding comfortably tomorrow.

The only pity was that she had planned to check out materials in Ning City, but because she was accompanying Qiaoqiao, she hadn’t managed to do so.

She might as well not bother with two tasks at once and leave everything to Zhao Fangyuan. Given her family’s cooking, it was unlikely they would do a shoddy job of it.

…

While these thoughts circled in her mind, her response came crisply, “Okay. But I need to wait at home for the construction team first, and then I’m going to the market to shop for groceries. I’ll pick you up on the way back… probably after 9.”

“That won’t do, that won’t do!”

Zhu Li immediately shook her head, “That’s too late.”

Song Tan raised her eyebrows and then sighed, “There’s nothing I can do, I’ve been quite busy lately. Let Brother Wu Lei take you on his motorcycle.”

Wu Lei: …

Riding the motorcycle on the mountain roads of his hometown after so many years, with his beloved girlfriend–his heart did not swell with excitement and anticipation, but was filled with faint unease instead.

That is to say, could he still handle these mountain roads back home?

Moreover, there was a critical issue at hand–he hadn’t yet taken Lili to his house, and now, with this surprise visit in the middle of the night, his mom might just give him a few knocks on the head first!

Thinking about this made Wu Lei sigh deeply, and then he resignedly took out his phone to send a message home.

The next moment, Song Tan’s phone rang.

A video call from Auntie, that was not to be delayed at all.

“Tantan, is Leilei in your car? Oh my, this rascal is going to be the death of me! Bringing his girlfriend home without any notice? What am I supposed to use to entertain her at this hour of the night?”

“Tantan, can you ask the girl what she likes to eat? Should I clear out Lingling’s room for her to sleep in? Oh dear, are you going to need a bath after traveling all day? The solar heater seems to be out of hot water. I’ll go heat it up right now…”

While she spoke with Song Tan on the phone, she scurried around the house in slippers, busying herself with chores, grabbing new quilts and hastily making sure the water heater was plugged in.

Anyone could see the deep expectations and frustrations she held towards her son’s girlfriend, this unpredictable rascal.

Song Tan didn’t get a word in edgewise as Auntie continued–

“By the way, Tantan, I heard your family is building a new house? You must call your uncle when it’s time to work; we’ll all come to help.”

Finally, a statement she could latch onto!

Song Tan hurriedly declined, “No need, Auntie. The construction is all contracted out, and we can’t really be of any help. They’ll bring in an excavator, and it will be all sorted with a few scoops.”

That made sense.

Building a house nowadays isn’t like before, relying entirely on the physical labor of the villagers, tossing and mixing…

Now it’s all about efficiency, all mechanized.

Auntie hesitated for a moment, “Really don’t need any help?”

“Really, no need.”

Previously, during farm work, her uncle and auntie had already come to help for several days, which was quite enough for her to feel indebted.

Now that their own family wasn’t even going to lift a finger for the construction, how could she have the cheek to ask Auntie to help?

Song Tan quickly changed the subject, “By the way, Auntie, by the time I drop Brother Lei off, it’ll be almost 11 o’clock. I guess they’ll be hungry by then.”

“You make some food ready first. Qiaoqiao and I won’t need anything; we still have to go back tonight. We have to wait for the construction team early tomorrow morning.”

Auntie slapped her thigh, “This Wu Lei… in the dead of night, it’s not convenient to go to the vegetable garden–I’ll make you chicken soup noodles, you eat along with them too, and then go back after you’ve eaten!”

“No, no.”

Song Tan realized that Auntie was getting off topic and quickly refused, “My mom is waiting for me; I need to get back and explain what’s going on tomorrow.”

Alright then.

Building a house was a big deal in the village, so Auntie didn’t press further.

But she still grumbled as she took a flashlight and went to the vegetable garden to pick some fresh vegetables.

In the back seat, Zhu Li felt deeply wronged, and Wu Lei also looked sheepish, his phone displaying a long and exasperated message from his girlfriend–

[How could you be like this! You didn’t even confirm before bringing me here, and now look what’s happened–we have nowhere to stay, and we’re meeting your parents straight away! I didn’t bring anything with me, and I’m here with you in the dead of night. What are they going to think of me?]
