Chapter 553: Master Ye Really Knows How to Pamper His Wife!

At this very moment, Ma Lan had finished lunch and was directing Ye Chen, carrying a tin bucket and a shovel, to dig soil in the green belt of the villa area.

For the past two days, Ma Lan had nothing to do. Her leg was broken, so she couldn't go out to play. Bored at home, she was scrolling through her WeChat Moments and discovered that a female friend she didn't get along with very well had bought a villa in the suburbs.

She had planted quite a few fruits and vegetables in her villa courtyard and shared photos of those fruits and vegetables on her Moments. Many people liked them, saying she was clever and understood life.

Ma Lan was very jealous, so she had a sudden whim and wanted to plant some vegetables and fruits in her villa courtyard.

But she had a broken leg; how could she shovel soil? So this kind of work could only be arranged for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn't want to bother with her at all. After all, he had already laid his cards on the table with her last time: from now on, if she lived in his villa, she had to be polite to him. So, wanting to order him around was out of the question.

However, his wife, Xiao Xiao Churan, heard that her mother wanted to plant some fruits and vegetables and also felt that this kind of thing could cultivate one's character and keep her honestly at home, so she stepped forward and begged Ye Chen to help.

Ye Chen then agreed.

In his view, if he could keep Ma Lan from causing trouble all day long, letting her go plant some vegetables would be quite good.

So, after eating, he went to help her, shoveled quite a bit of soil into the villa, and had already circled out a piece of land to make a vegetable garden for her.

Ma Lan was leaning on her crutches at this time and was saying to Ye Chen, "Dig that yellow soil; don't dig that black soil. That black soil is very smelly."

Ye Chen nodded and didn't speak, just lowered his head to dig the soil.

Ma Lan hesitated for a moment and asked him in a negotiating tone, carefully, "Ye Chen, can Mom discuss something with you?"

Seeing that her attitude was not bad, Ye Chen said indifferently, "What is it? Tell me, I'll listen first."

Ma Lan smiled and said, "You, when do you have time? Drive to the countryside, find a farmer, and buy some vegetables and fruits, and buy them with the roots, whole plants together."

Ye Chen said, "Isn't this taking off your pants to fart—an unnecessary move? If you want vegetables and fruits, just go to the supermarket and buy them. Just use an app and they'll deliver them to your door."

Ma Lan was very dissatisfied with Ye Chen's attitude, and very unaccustomed to it, but didn't dare to say anything, so she could only smile and plead, "Mom wants you to buy whole plants, not to eat, but to buy them back and plant them directly in our villa. Wouldn't that immediately give us a beautiful vegetable garden? Otherwise, if we finish this and sow seeds and plant them, waiting for them to grow—that would take until the year of the monkey or the month of the horse."

Ye Chen was convinced.

It seemed his mother-in-law was thinking about this, wanting to hurry up and take photos to post on her Moments.

Just as he was about to refuse her unreasonable request, Ma Lan hurriedly added, "Good son-in-law, I'll tell you the truth: Xiao Churan has loved planting vegetables and fruits since she was a child. When she was little, she often dragged her father and me to go picking with her. When she entered someone's vegetable garden in the countryside, she wouldn't want to come out."

Ye Chen looked at her suspiciously, "When was this? How come I've never heard of it?"

Ma Lan hurriedly said, "Later, Xiao Churan grew up, went to school, and went to work; where would she have time to run to the vegetable garden? I swear to Heaven, Xiao Churan really loved these things especially. When she was in elementary school, she wanted to plant some in the courtyard of the old Xiao family villa, but that damned old lady wouldn't agree no matter what."

Ye Chen thought to himself, if his wife really liked it, then he might as well arrange it.

So, he took out his phone, called Xiao Xiao Churan, and asked her, "Wife, it's the weekend tomorrow; do you want to go picking?"

"Okay!" Xiao Xiao Churan agreed almost without thinking, "That's great! Where are we going picking? How did you know I liked picking?"

After listening, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about where we're going; your husband will arrange it."

"That's great!" Xiao Xiao Churan said happily, "Then I'll wait for your arrangement!"

"Alright!"

Hanging up the phone, Ma Lan said fawningly, "See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Ye Chen gave an "um" and took out his phone again, calling Wang Zhengang.

"Master Ye! How did you think of calling little me?"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "Old Wang, my wife especially likes picking. I'm planning to take half of the Tomson Riviera villa and make a vegetable garden, so that she can pick in the courtyard every day. So, go find me the best varieties of vegetables and fruits, and I want them already grown, bearing fruit, with vines, with stalks, and with roots. Transplant them directly to Tomson Riviera for me. Can you do it?"

Wang Zhengang blurted out upon hearing this, "Master Ye, don't worry, even if you wanted a vegetable greenhouse, I could get it for you!"

Ye Chen said, "Alright, then start preparing today. Come to Tomson Riviera in the middle of the night to transplant and cultivate them. I want my wife to see it as soon as she wakes up tomorrow!"

Wang Zhengang chuckled, "Master Ye, you really know how to pamper your wife! Don't worry, I'll arrange it!"

Ma Lan was also excited to the point of madness!

This Ye Chen was really good at bluffing people. Just one phone call, and someone was diligently arranging a vegetable garden for him. His energy was truly not small!

She used to feel that this guy would explode sooner or later, but no matter how she looked at it, this kid seemed to be getting more and more prosperous.

At this moment, Ma Lan suddenly heard a familiar voice ringing in her ear: "Yo! Isn't this my good daughter-in-law? Why are you leaning on a crutch? I have to say, the posture you're standing in is quite spirited!"

Ma Lan's face immediately became incomparably ugly.

She didn't need to turn her head to know this voice came from her mother-in-law, that damned Old Mrs. Xiao!

But when she turned her head to look, she was shocked. What was going on? How did these five people get together?

The old lady, Xiao Xiao Changqian, and those two little brats weren't supposed to be in detention for a few more days? Could they have been released early?

The key was, how did Qian Qian Hongyan come? Wasn't this woman sent to the black coal mine by Ye Chen's friend?

Qian Qian Hongyan was a secret between Ye Chen and his mother-in-law, Ma Lan. Although later his wife and father-in-law knew about his mother-in-law losing money gambling, they didn't know about Qian Qian Hongyan being sent to the black coal mine by him. So, Qian Qian Hongyan suddenly returning made Ye Chen feel a bit worried.

Just at this moment, Ma Lan, who never admitted defeat, had already started cursing: "Who did I think it was? So it's you family! What's the matter, still eyeing our villa? Have you forgotten how you got into the detention center last time? Do you believe I'll call the police to arrest you right now?" ===== CHAPTER 554 =====

Hong Wu has always been reliable in his work; he shouldn't have made such a huge mistake by letting this Qian Qian Hongyan run back. What exactly happened here?

Qian Qian Hongyan is a secret between Ye Chen and his mother-in-law, Ma Lan. Although his wife and father-in-law later knew about the mother-in-law losing money gambling, they did not know that Qian Qian Hongyan had been sent by him to a black coal kiln.

Both of them thought that Qian Qian Hongyan must have run off with the money, so Qian Qian Hongyan suddenly returning at this time made Ye Chen feel somewhat worried.

Just at this moment, Ma Lan, who never accepts defeat, had already started cursing: "I was wondering who it was. So it's your whole family. What is it, still eyeing our villa? Have you forgotten how you ended up in the detention center last time? Do you believe I'll call the police to arrest you right now?"
