Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 367 - Chapter 367 367.An Security Camera_1

Chapter 367: 367.An Security Camera_1 Chapter 367: 367.An Security Camera_1 The young man prattled on and on, and before Sun Shouping could catch his breath, he immediately dragged the conversation back–

“Bro, what’s my treasure having for lunch?”

Sun Shouping: …Gguoi^Gguoi

He struggled to say, “Is there any chance…that what’s in the bowl right now, is your treasure’s lunch?”

“Hahaha, how could that–”

The other side burst into laughter. Dogs can eat just about anything, but if you want to raise them well, it requires careful attention.

The other party’s dog was even better cared for than his own, he couldn’t fathom how they managed that…

Just then, Wu Lan also scooped out the remaining noodles, added a basin of dog food, and unceremoniously poured it into the big basin.

Sun Shouping: …

On the other end of the video: …

Only the three dogs were jumping with excitement, now tugging on their leads with full force–

“Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof—-”

Wu Lan was oblivious to the video call–after all, in her simple view, how could anyone actually feed their dogs better than they feed themselves?

So she said cheerfully, “Look! These dogs are so spirited! Just wait a sec, once I’ve mixed it all thoroughly they can eat.”

Then she broke off a long, slender piece of kindling, stirred it around heartily, and pushed the stainless steel basin over.

The video got even quieter.

Sun Shouping felt his lifetime reputation was ruined in an instant.

But in the next moment, the three dogs had already snorted and without hesitation, plunged their heads down to eat with loud gulps and muffled hums, saliva flying everywhere.

Even midway through, William’s oversized head took up so much space that Tantan even had to grab the uneven edge of the basin, dragging it closer to herself.

The basin scraped across the old cement floor and as it moved, both William and General merely tilted their necks, continuing to eat in tune with the basin’s movements, completely unfazed.

Tantan, puzzled for a moment, realized that pulling the basin closer didn’t mean getting more food… So, she too disregarded everything and buried her head to gorge herself.

Watching them eat like this, the master on the video end could no longer utter any critiques.

He just said in a daze, “Sun Bro, can you bring the camera closer? I want to see exactly what you added to the bowl…”

“My Tantan is a bit picky with food…”

But looking closely, they first ate the watermelon rind, then the vegetable leaves, followed by the big bone, and only then did they get to the wheat bran and dog food soaked in vegetable broth…

Not to mention anything else, that sequence was bizarre!

It made no sense.

…

Thanks to the three dogs’ frenzied eating, Sun Shouping managed, with great difficulty, to preserve his dignity in front of his clients and friends.

Meanwhile, Song Tan looked at today’s local orders on the app and asked, “I’m heading to town at 4:30 this afternoon, need me to pick anything up?”

Xin Jun quickly responded, “Perfect timing! Take me with you.”

He shook his cellphone, “It’s been glitching lately, not smooth when I’m gaming. I’m going to get a new one.”

Having worked at Song Tan’s place for over two months, he hadn’t spent a dime of his salary–three square meals a day left him too full to even think about snacking.

Sweet soup and watermelon took up any desire for drinks.

As for the rest… As he often helped out with work (to digest food), Wu Lan even found two cartoon T-shirts from Qiaoqiao for him to wear…

Well then! With the clothes he brought originally, he didn’t even need to buy any.

Apart from the phone and membership fees, money was simply unspendable.

Therefore, Xin Jun decided to get himself a better phone!

He reminisced about the old days back at home, where he not only lacked the money to get a new phone but didn’t even have time to play on one–how miserable.

“Sure. Anything else you need me to bring?”

Song Tan was speaking to Seventh Uncle.

The little old man thought for a moment and said, “Bring back some pork belly too, for stir-fried spicy pork.”

Song Tan nodded and then turned to her family members, “This time we’re still taking 200 melons–are we picking them ourselves or should we hire someone?”

“Of course, we’ll pick them ourselves. It’s not that much work!”

Wu Lan did not hesitate.

However, Song Tan thought for a moment. “How about we hire someone anyway?”

After all, the weather was hot, and sooner or later they would need to hire someone.

She knew Wu Lan was reluctant to spend money–she had been willing to loosen the purse strings before, but after discussing next year’s plans at noon today, Wu Lan began to feel the pinch again.

But Song Tan patiently persuaded her, “Mom, the early ripening melons are still small, so they are not too hard to move. But when the big melons are ripe, each weighing over ten or twenty pounds, how tired will we be after moving them ourselves?”

“Such a big melon costs hundreds of pieces. If you drop one, that’s like throwing away hundreds of dollars! It’s not worth it.”

She had wanted to hire someone for a long time.

Not to mention, the family was now making money. If they didn’t hire help, all her hard work would only add to the household’s burdens, wouldn’t it?

Money, when it improves the quality of life, that’s when it counts. If it’s just to be saved, it’s worth nothing at all.

Wu Lan sighed, “Just when we have a little savings, you want to invest in leasing Bags Mountain. How did I give birth to someone who spends money like you do…”

Song Tan laughed shamelessly, “That’s called family complementarity. Besides, when we pick the melons, we’ll see who works well. Then, we have to pick peaches and chestnuts later… Doesn’t that make it easier to choose the right people?”

That made sense.

But still…

“In our rural customs, if you hire someone to pick melons, you must let them taste two. But our melons are so tasty… What if they like them too much and want more?”

When it comes to selling, it’s hard to name a price, and even harder to give a discount.

If you don’t sell, firstly, you have no excuse, and secondly, there’s the fear they might get upset and steal the melons from the mountain–

To be precise, in the village, taking a couple of peaches or grabbing a few melons doesn’t really count as stealing.

Wu Lan had been worried for a long time, “Now the mountains are fenced off tightly, and with King and the others watching, it’s safe. But what if someone can’t resist and tries to steal at night? If they succeed, we can’t demand compensation. If their theft fails and they get scared, or bitten, we might even have to compensate them.”

It was a real dilemma.

“No worries,” said Song Tan reassuringly. “Mom, think about it, running off with a watermelon is much more noticeable than with just a couple of peaches.”

“If people in the village really steal, King will teach them a lesson.”

During her time back in the village, everyone seemed happy and there was no unpleasantness, but that nasty streak, that never really goes away completely.

Where wasn’t there a rotten apple to spoil the barrel?

She had waited too long for a day to make an example of someone.

It was just a matter of seeing who would be that example.

Song Tan smiled brightly, “Mom, don’t worry. I have a plan.”

As long as it wasn’t something too obvious like losing an arm or a leg, she had plenty of ways to make them suffer without being able to voice it.

Song Youde also persuaded her, “Our child is grown up now, and all the family’s business is being handled by Tantan. If we as elders don’t understand, we should step back a little.”

“After all, won’t life go on just as before?”

“We managed before, we can manage in the future too.”

Wu Lan thought for a moment, “That’s true.”

But with so many good things at home, she really didn’t want others to ruin them, so she said with a heavy heart,

“I heard that people now install surveillance cameras in their gardens. How about we ask around today and get some installed too?”
