Chapter 455

Tang Mingrui was naturally well-informed, but more than half of these vegetables were still ones he had never seen before.

For example, the red tomatoes, the bell peppers that looked like lanterns...

He was not unfamiliar with potatoes. When he came to the Mo family before, he had seen them on the dining table. In order to satisfy his curiosity, He Zhiran had also shown him what potatoes originally looked like.

There were also some green leafy vegetables that he had never seen before.

In short, he was convinced of one thing in his heart - the products of the Mo family must be the best quality.

Even if his own restaurant could not use up all these vegetables, if they were taken to the market for sale, they could definitely sell for a sky-high price.

After gaining a thorough understanding, Liang Hao took him to He Zhiran.

With He Zhiran there, business talk did not need Mo Jiuye.

She made an agreement with Tang Mingrui that no matter how many such vegetables were produced on the Mo family's land, the latter would exclusively purchase them, with profits still divided 50/50.

Considering that vegetables were not easy to store and it was the hot July weather, He Zhiran was liable to suffer losses. So she intended to give Tang Mingrui 10% more profit, but he refused.

In Tang Mingrui’s own words, “Sister-in-law, you underestimate my business abilities. Not to mention these vegetables, even if there were twice as many, I could still sell them all out at top speed.”

In order to obtain profits earlier, Tang Mingrui went back to the city after seeing the vegetables to hire people to transport them.

By dusk, all the vegetables harvested from the house that day had been taken away by him already.

The ripening of the vegetables was staggered. As long as people came to pick every day, looking at the current quantity, material could be supplied to Tang Mingrui continuously for at least a month.

He Zhiran directed the workers to stop for the day and continue tomorrow.

In addition to having Lan'er distribute their wages, she also gave each person some fresh vegetables to take home, not only that, but He Zhiran also instructed Lan'er to teach everyone how to cook them.

Everyone smiled from ear to ear as they took the generous wages and the vegetables given to them by He Zhiran.

Especially since Tang Mingrui had been discussing vegetable prices with He Zhiran earlier, and many people had heard bits and pieces.

They could confirm that these vegetables were priced higher than meat, yet others had generously given them these.

They couldn’t bear to eat such expensive vegetables...

He Zhiran had already anticipated that the villagers might come up with the idea of taking the vegetables into the city to sell them, which would definitely affect her cooperation with Tang Mingrui. Therefore, before everyone left, she made it very clear:

These vegetables were for them to sample. If she ever discovered someone selling them in the city, they would no longer be allowed to come work at the Mo house.

With He Zhiran's reminder, the villagers did not dare sell the vegetables in the city, no matter how reluctant they were.

Seeing the villagers had all left, Madam He urged He Zhiran, “Ranran, you have been out here all day. Your health must be suffering. Go back and rest early.”

Coming to the Northwest had truly broadened her horizons - not only could she eat countless delicacies, she could also see so many vegetables she had never seen before.

If she hadn’t been considering her daughter’s health, Madam He would not have wanted to leave the fields.

This kind of life was much better than Beijing, not boring at all.

Madam He even had the thought that she did not want to leave this place.

He Zhiran was indeed more tired today than usual. Although she didn't really do anything, Lan'er had brought over a small stool for her to sit on when she was tired, but somehow she still felt a dragging sensation in her stomach.

In her previous life she was a doctor, but not an obstetrician. As an unmarried woman, she really did not have much understanding about omens before giving birth.

“Mother, my stomach feels heavy today.”

Hearing this, Madam He immediately changed her expression.

“Ranran, you should be about to give birth!”

She herself had given birth twice, and would indeed have this feeling of heaviness before birth.

However, it was not always consistent - when she gave birth to her eldest, this bodily sensation occurred two days prior, but when birthing He Zhiran, it appeared in the morning and she gave birth before nightfall.

“Ranran, this is your first child, it should not come too fast. Don’t panic for now. Mother will walk you back slowly while supporting you. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell Mother.”

As she spoke, Madam He ordered Lan'er to quickly find Mo Jiuye.

Zhang San had not yet returned from Beijing with the esteemed gynecologist, and now that He Zhiran was showing signs of labor, Madam He could only place her last hopes on Mo Jiuye.

It was just as the saying goes, speak of the devil - she had thought He Zhiran was quite stable these last few days without signs of premature birth, but as things stood, her wishful thinking had been too optimistic.

In fact, He Zhiran was not panicked at all. She was also aware that with a twin pregnancy, she was bound to give birth a bit early.

She had calculated a mid-July due date herself, and it was only July 5th now, just 10 days sooner than expected.

Supported by Madam He, He Zhiran could clearly feel that her palms were already soaked with sweat.

“Mother, don't worry, I can safely give birth.”

Although extremely anxious inside, Madam He did not want to reveal these negative emotions.

“Mother is not worried. Jiuye has been studying delivery methods for so long, you will definitely be alright. Mother is just overexcited at the thought of being able to meet my two little grandsons soon.”

The mother and daughter comforted each other as they walked back home. Mo Jiuye, still busy working in the fields, rushed over in an instant upon hearing from Lan'er that his wife was uncomfortable - it could be said that he completely ignored everything else to fully utilize his qinggong. In the blink of an eye he appeared before He Zhiran.

"Ranran, Lan'er said you weren't feeling well. Where exactly are you uncomfortable?"

Seeing how flustered he looked, it was fair to say he was even more distressed than Madam He.

"Husband, don't panic. Just now I only felt some heaviness in my stomach!"

He Zhiran wanted Mo Jiuye to calm down - if this feeling really was a sign of impending labor, it would be best for him to make preparations in advance.

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam He could no longer remain unfazed.

"Jiuye, Ranran must be going into labor. Childbirth for a woman is like walking through death's door. You must not let your guard down!"

Mo Jiuye had just steadied his emotions a little, but hearing his mother-in-law's words made them roil again.

His hand holding He Zhiran's kept shaking uncontrollably.

"Ranran, don't be afraid with me here. I won't let you walk through any door of death."
