Chapter 565: Cutting Ye Chen's Chives!

After lunch, Wang Zhenggang arranged another truck to send a truckload of daffodils over.

The daffodils he sent were all high-quality varieties that grew very lush and green, and according to Ye Chen's request, every single one hadn't bloomed yet.

The daffodil plant grows very similarly to chives, and even more so when they haven't bloomed.

People in the city don't distinguish plants very clearly, and most people have eaten chives and seen cut chives, but haven't seen chives growing in the ground, so it's very easy to confuse chives and daffodils.

Chives are a vegetable that people love to see and hear; whether it's stir-frying, making soup, or making pancakes and dumplings, they are an indispensable good ingredient.

But this thing called a daffodil cannot be eaten.

Why can't it be eaten? Because daffodils contain lycorine.

And lycorine itself is a toxic alkaloid.

Ye Chen heard Ma Lan say that Old Mrs. Xiao likes to eat chives, so he immediately thought of the plant called the daffodil.

He knew that after Old Mrs. Xiao succeeded in stealing vegetables once, she would definitely come to steal again, and she would definitely come to steal often.

So he had Wang Zhenggang arrange for workers to plant all these daffodils along the corner of the wall.

In this way, Old Mrs. Xiao could grab a large handful as soon as she reached out from outside the iron fence, making it incredibly easy to steal.

If she stole these daffodils and ate them, thinking they were chives, her end would definitely be very miserable.

Although it wouldn't cost her her life, staying in the hospital for a few days would probably be unavoidable.

Ye Chen's idea was to first let her family eat daffodils and end up in the hospital. During the time they were hospitalized, he would have people turn all the fences into walls and then build his vegetable garden into a glass house. In this way, he would never have to worry about anyone coming to steal again.

When the truck came to unload the goods, Old Mrs. Xiao next door happened to see it from the third-floor terrace.

When she saw the workers moving clusters of green, slender-leaved plants down from the truck, her eyes immediately lit up!

It's actually chives!

And such fresh chives!

She couldn't help but think of the delicious meal at noon. Because of the vegetables stolen from Ye Chen's house, this home-cooked meal was very delicious, and she even felt it was especially green and healthy.

Now seeing that Ye Chen's house had so many fresh chives again, Old Mrs. Xiao was naturally overjoyed, because what she liked to eat most was chives!

And she had been wandering around for a while, encountered so many changes, and had been in the detention center for several days, so she hadn't eaten chives and egg dumplings for a long time!

At this moment, seeing so many fresh, good chives at Ye Chen's house, the first thought in her mind was to hurry and take a knife to cut two handfuls, make some chives and egg dumplings, and eat to her heart's content in the evening!

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Old Mrs. Xiao woke up from a nap. The first thing she did was come to the terrace to see how the chives at Ye Chen's house were doing.

Seeing that Ye Chen had planted all the chives on the side against the iron fence, Old Mrs. Xiao was incredibly happy.

Isn't this just convenient for her?

So, she immediately went downstairs.

At this time, Xiao Xiao Changqian's family of four was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Xiao Xiao Hailong moved the TV from an empty room downstairs up. Although it wasn't as big as the one that was sold, it was already quite good.

Old Mrs. Xiao said to Qian Qian Hongyan, "Qian Hongyan, go out for a trip, buy a box of eggs, and buy a bag of flour."

Qian Qian Hongyan hurriedly asked flatteringly, "Mom, what do you want eggs and flour for?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said, "Making chives and egg dumplings for dinner!"

Xiao Xiao Hailong said happily, "Grandma, making dumplings for dinner?"

"Yes!" Old Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, "Do you like chives and eggs?"

Xiao Xiao Hailong said with a smile, "Oh my, I love it! I haven't eaten chives and egg dumplings for a long time. Now that you mention it, I'm drooling a little!"

Xiao Xiao Changqian also said happily, "Mom, why did you think of eating chives and egg dumplings today? You haven't cooked dumplings in a long time."

Old Mrs. Xiao said, "I'm happy today. There will be plenty of chives and egg dumplings for dinner!"

"That's great!" Xiao Xiao Changqian sighed, "I haven't eaten dumplings for a while either. I'll satisfy my craving today!"

Qian Qian Hongyan asked, "Mom, besides flour and eggs, do I need to buy some chives?"

Old Mrs. Xiao smiled triumphantly, "Ye Chen's house brought a lot of very fresh chives this afternoon. I'll go out and cut two handfuls back in a while!"

Xiao Xiao Changqian hurriedly said, "Mom, cut a bit more. By the way, making some chives and pork dumplings is also fine!"

Xiao Xiao Weiwei said, "We can also make chive pancakes!"

"Good, good, good!" Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and smiled, "Then I'll cut a bit more back!"

By 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Old Mrs. Xiao took a kitchen knife and went out.

She put the kitchen knife into the bamboo basket and ran all the way to the outside of the fence of Ye Chen's house.

Old Mrs. Xiao looked around. Seeing no one in the yard, she hurriedly took out the knife, reached into the fence, and cut a large handful of chives.

After cutting this handful, she immediately cut two more large handfuls.

She felt it was about enough, but thinking carefully, such good chives were really rare. It would be a loss not to cut a bit more.

So she cut six handfuls in a row, and the "chives" she cut couldn't even fit in the bamboo basket.

Seeing that she had succeeded, Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly wanted to run back.

At this time, Ma Lan saw that the sun was about to set, so she leaned on her crutches and went to the terrace to sunbathe.

After all, the doctor had told her that if she wanted her leg to heal quickly, she had to sunbathe more, which could synthesize Vitamin D.

Arriving at the terrace, she happened to see Old Mrs. Xiao stealing vegetables and leaving. She cursed angrily, "You old immortal thing, you just stole so many vegetables from my house this morning, and you dare to come again in the afternoon? Do you still want your face?"

Old Mrs. Xiao turned her head, looked at her, and cursed while jumping, "What of it? You are my daughter-in-law. I eat some of your vegetables, and you're still nagging at me?"

Ma Lan cursed, "Who the hell is your daughter-in-law? You shameless old thing, if you dare to come to my house to steal vegetables again, I'll break your legs!"

Old Mrs. Xiao spat and cursed, "You don't even know when your own broken leg will heal, and you dare to shout at me? Believe it or not, I'll break your leg next time?"

As soon as Ma Lan heard this, she was furious!

Her leg was broken by Old Mrs. Xiao in the detention center. She had always remembered this grudge.

Seeing Old Mrs. Xiao come to steal vegetables again and even use the broken leg matter to curse her, Ma Lan cursed through gritted teeth, "Just steal! Old thing! Your mouth is so cheap, you'll eat yourself to death sooner or later!"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, "Let me tell you, Ma Lan, my life is long. You could die eight hundred times, and I still wouldn't die! If you don't believe it, let's wait and see who dies first!" ===== CHAPTER 566 =====
