After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 55 The Arrogance and Condescension of Those in Power

"Ningning, Grandma knows you're the one who cares about Grandma the most, unlike some others." The old lady praised her little darling, then gave her son, who was holding a phone beside her, a sarcastic look.

The 'rebellious son' turned his head away, looking at the sky and the ground, but refusing to look into his mother's eyes.

While feeling warmed by her little girl's sweet potato, the old lady couldn't help but ask a question: "Ningning, Grandma wants to ask you, are the sweet potato chips that Grandma makes more fragrant than the ones outside?!"

Jian Ning: "..."

After a moment of surprise, she immediately realized what she meant and coaxed the old lady, "Of course, my favorite food since I was a child is the dried sweet potato you make."

Upon hearing this, the old lady felt as if someone was backing her up, and she immediately gained confidence.

"Look! What kind of things did your uncle say before!"

The old lady mimicked the tone her uncle had just used to lecture her, saying, "These dried sweet potatoes can be bought anywhere now, but yours are the most fragrant!"

Jian Ning could imagine her grandmother's pursed lips and sarcastic tone.

She suddenly realized where her innate, strange and unsettling habit came from.

On the other end, the uncle was still arguing: "Mom! This is about you being disobedient, about you insisting on going upstairs even when I told you not to. You're just so stubborn."

The old lady spoke in a tone that seemed to say, "Hey, you're just like your dad. If I weren't sick and old, if I were feeling better, I would definitely treat you to a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork today. I told you not to tell Ningning, but you had to embarrass yourself in front of her."

My grandmother was a teacher when she was young. She was very strict in disciplining children and had a decisive and efficient personality.

Jian Ning had witnessed her uncle being "stir-fried with bamboo shoots and pork" several times.

At this moment, she didn't dare to utter a sound.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

A somber atmosphere seemed to spread from that end to Jian Ning's.

Uncle sniffed, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of sadness, "Alright, alright, don't mention Dad, he's gone."

The old lady sighed, as if she had thought of something.

“If our family had been better off back then, and we had bought a house in the city earlier, so we could be closer to the hospital, your dad might have survived.”

The last sentence is not a question, but a statement that everyone already knows the answer to.

However, such an assumption is not possible.

The old lady often has a sharp tongue, but isn't it because she misses her husband that she always talks about it?

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's so late now, let Ningning go to sleep."

The uncle responded with a "Mm".

People always like to stop when they are sad, as if everything will be fine if they don't mention it.

Jian Ning gave her grandmother a few reminders, telling her to take care of her health and to call her immediately if anything happened, before hanging up the phone.

However, when Jian Ning put her phone on the bedside table and lay back down on the bed, she was stunned.

She thought of the time when her grandfather passed away.

At that time, we borrowed someone else's car to take my grandfather to the best hospital in the county.

On the way to the hospital, she looked at the blood on her grandfather's head and her eyes turned red from crying.

Children can only do so much; as long as they don't cause trouble, that's good enough.

Clutching the jade Guanyin pendant around her neck, she placed her hopes in the deity, silently praying: "Bodhisattva, please protect Grandpa and keep him safe. Thank you."

This jade Guanyin was a gift from her grandparents on her tenth birthday.

In Jianning's hometown, a child's tenth birthday is a big birthday.

This jade Guanyin, strung with a red string, symbolizes adults protecting children and ensuring their safety.

At this moment, Jian Ning reached up and touched her neck, pulled the red string out from her collar, and held the jade Guanyin in her hand.

The jade Guanyin is worn close to the body and feels warm in the palm of your hand.

The tension in Jian Ning's heart gradually eased.
-
the next day.

Those who have been eagerly anticipating new arrivals on the "Farming Master" account and wanting to buy vegetable blind boxes have finally seen the empty little yellow cart now stocked with new items.

The price of the vegetable blind boxes is still very affordable, at 50 yuan per box.

The only difference from before is that the vegetable blind boxes that the boss is selling this time are no longer shipping-free; you have to pay for the delivery.

Some netizens were dissatisfied and left comments under Jian Ning's video. "Boss, you can't just refuse free shipping because so many people want to buy! Ten pounds of vegetables would have very expensive shipping fees if you paid on delivery."

【No more free shipping? If you don't offer free shipping, who's going to buy your cheap vegetables?】

[Hilarious! How dare you accept cash on delivery? I wonder who gave you the courage.]

The delivery fee is more expensive than the vegetables, so I'm not buying them.

Dissatisfied netizens flooded the comments section of the video with messages.

Those who want to buy groceries quietly add the vegetable blind box to their shopping cart with a few taps, confirm their address, and place their order and pay.

Jian Ning only ordered 100 vegetable blind boxes.

Even without posting a video to announce the vegetable sales, netizens discovered it themselves by clicking on the shared bike.

These 100 vegetable blind boxes sold out in just one morning.

As for the negative comments, Jian Ning didn't read them at all and was completely unaware of them.

After finishing the vegetable blind box, she arranged for someone to pick up the package and send it to Zhang Nan, intending to send the remaining nine mosquito repellent sachets to him.

The deliveryman and she had developed a tacit understanding.

I called her when we were almost at Huayue Villa.

Jian Ning packed her things and left early, handing them to him at the gate of Huayue Villa.

After sending the mosquito repellent sachets by express, she sent the tracking number to Nan Nan via WeChat.

She had just sent the message when she heard the roar of tires approaching from afar.

Jian Ning subconsciously looked up and saw cars stopping directly in front of her.

This is the area outside the main gate of Huayue Villa.

It's not a parking lot.

There's not much development nearby, and very few vehicles come and go.

Is the other party targeting her?
Jian Ning put her phone in her pocket and stepped back.

Three black sedans opened their doors, and a group of people got out.

Jian Ning raised an eyebrow and saw a familiar face inside.

As soon as Su Si saw her, he glared at her fiercely, pointed at her, and complained to the people next to him, "Dad, it's this bitch! She's the one who stripped us naked that day and made us run around naked, losing all face!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others in the group looked a little embarrassed.

Keep your voice down. Is this something to be proud of?
Someone half-covered their mouth and reminded him, "Young Master Su, let's not talk about taking off your clothes."

Jian Ning scanned them one by one.

The crowd was all surrounding the man in the middle.

The man had his hair neatly combed back, a square face, and wore a pair of very academic glasses. He had a noticeable black mole above the corner of his mouth and looked much older than the people around him.

Given that Su Si once called him "Dad," it's highly likely that he will become the dean of Beihua University.

Dean Su Shijian, displaying his refined and courteous demeanor, asked politely, "Hello, what's your name?"

Before Jian Ning could speak, Su Sixeng couldn't help but speak up.

“Dad, her name is Jian Ning. She used to be a minor celebrity. We didn’t recognize this bitch the day before yesterday. We only remembered her afterward and checked her photos online, and we were sure it was her.”

With his hands behind his back, Su Shijian calmly began to educate his son, saying, "Si Zeng, you must not be rude."

Then, he walked towards Jian Ning.

The students behind him followed him over.

The other side had a large number of people and was powerful, but Jian Ning wasn't stupid.

She walked back, quickly closed the gate, and said calmly through the iron gate, "Dean Su, please speak frankly."

Su Shijian was smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes; it carried the arrogance and haughtiness of someone in a superior position.

Now that the other party knew he was the dean of Beihua University, he no longer needed to beat around the bush.

“Miss Jian is a smart woman, so let’s be frank. We have been growing medicinal herbs at Huayue Manor for over ten years, and we hope Miss Jian can do us a favor and allow us free access.”
