Chapter 2059: Chapter 2060: Old Mrs. Zhang Reincarnates at 70 and Reforms Her Ungrateful Children 91
Zhang Yu arrived at the waste station and naturally picked out a few decent-looking flower pots.
The old man at the waste station noticed that Zhang Yu was picking flower pots at this ti and was quite puzzled, “Miss, why are you choosing flower pots now?”
Under normal circumstances, people usually choose flower pots after spring starts; no one would want to go out when it’s windy.
“Isn’t the heated Kang at ho running? There’s so empty space near the Kang, so I thought I might get so flower pots and plant so vegetables.” This isn’t a secret, and as soon as she returns, the neighbors will definitely be curious and ask about it.
Instead of letting the news spread naturally, it’s better to buy from here, especially since this waste station is close to ho, and I’ll likely co here looking for treasures again.
It’s not necessary to find sothing valuable; as long as there’s so gain each ti, that’s fine.
The old man at the waste station didn’t expect buying flower pots would be for this purpose, “Is it feasible?”
“I don’t know either, so I’m buying old flower pots to try. If it works, it’ll be great.”
“If it doesn’t work out, it’s okay too; when spring cos, these pots can be used to plant flowers.” After all, they’re for planting vegetables, so there’s no waste.
“In such cold weather, it’s definitely necessary to keep the Kang heated.”
The old man’s eyes lit up. Right, he lives at the waste station and uses scrap wood to heat the Kang, which doesn’t cost him anything. If he could really grow vegetables, it would add so variety to his als.
“Thank you, young lady. You don’t have to pay for these flower pots.” The old man waved his hand, not taking the money.
Zhang Yu didn’t stand on ceremony. Usually, there is so wear and tear, with so broken pieces. With a bunch of fragnts, who can tell? “Thank you, big brother.”
Zhang Yu happily carried the flower pots back to the yard. Although Widow Luo was sitting on the heated Kang inside, she had opened the window a crack and could know a bit about any movents in the yard.
Seeing Zhang Yu co back with a few flower pots, Widow Luo was puzzled, “It’s not even spring; why buy flower pots?”
If it was really to plant vegetables, it wouldn’t be this ti. Not to ntion not sprouting, they wouldn’t grow tall even if they did sprout.
Widow Luo didn’t understand Zhang Yu’s actions. Since she didn’t know, she thought, no problem, I can ask.
However, as soon as she put on her shoes and opened the door, she saw Zhang Yu had already gone inside; it annoyed her to no end. Was this suspicious or what, running so fast?
Widow Luo was itching with curiosity, “I must find out.”
She knew that if she went to ask directly, she wouldn’t get any answers. It’s better to let others, like Auntie Wang or Granny Jiang, inquire.
But getting them to do it was not an easy task.
As for the rest of the courtyard, Widow Luo went through the options but couldn’t think of a suitable candidate.
Zhang Yu used to interact well with the courtyard’s neighbors, but after moving out, there was a noticeable indifference towards the old neighbors.
Yes, indifference. She would chat a bit if they t, but if no one spoke to her, Zhang Yu would ignore them. She wasn’t eager to chat, focusing on indifference.
But if at so point Zhang Yu didn’t give any face to the supposed old neighbors, that would be troubleso. Ever since Zhang Yu shared the fishing bait formula, even though she moved in and out, people had a good impression of her.

Trying to sow discord was difficult, and Widow Luo grew displeased, glaring viciously at the Wei Family opposite, “How smug you must feel.”
Having a secret recipe and not keeping it to herself, she even shared it. She’s a real fool.
Widow Luo looked at her daughter-in-law cleaning inside, feeling upset. “Such bad luck! Others having the secret formula can go fishing and gain sothing every ti. At least they gain sothing.”
“But you, fishing up to now, mostly catch small fish; occasionally, there are a few half-pound fish.”
“Why did my son find a daughter-in-law like you, useless at everything, with no help from your family?”
Thinking about it made Widow Luo angry. Others, at least, get sothing; her daughter-in-law’s gain was so little, it frustrated her just thinking about it.
To these scolding words from Widow Luo, her daughter-in-law just pretended not to hear.
She knew that if she dared to retort now, it wouldn’t end well. Anyway, the old woman wouldn’t stop her from going fishing. As long as she could go fishing, she could make so secret earnings, and with money in hand, the old woman could scold all she wanted.
Yes, although Widow Luo’s daughter-in-law didn’t seem to gain much visibly, it wasn’t entirely without gains. She had caught big fish a few tis but traded them all for cash.
Zhang Yu traded using vouchers, never daring to take money, while she was bold enough to accept money and kept it hidden.
Even though Widow Luo stayed ho every day, her activities were limited to certain areas. Naturally, the Luo Family’s daughter-in-law knew where to hide things.
With her focus on Zhang Yu, Widow Luo didn’t realize her daughter-in-law’s little plans. Seeing her obedient daughter-in-law, she was quite satisfied.
She believed a daughter-in-law shouldn’t work. Once a woman has a job, there would be no room for the mother-in-law in her eyes.
Zhang Yu wasn’t aware of Widow Luo’s scrutiny. She knew a bit about the latter’s thoughts but didn’t care. Widow Luo just felt imbalanced seeing her family living well.
Upon returning ho, Zhang Yu quickly filled the pots with leftover soil.
Granny Jiang happened to co to the water tank, and seeing Zhang Yu filling the pots with soil, she asked, “What’s this?”
“It’s cold now, and with the Kang heated, I thought maybe I could place so flower pots near the Kang to grow so small greens or maybe so onions and garlic.”
“At least it’ll add so green. If I can actually grow so greens, it’ll be a dish.”
Granny Jiang got excited upon hearing this, “Really? Can it be done?” With the weather cold and her kids staying at ho, Granny Jiang also started heating the Kang, especially for her and her husband, whose Kang was heated 24/7.
If she could really grow so vegetables, it would also be a dish, adding variety.
“I don’t know yet; it’s just an idea. I’m going to try it. If they sprout, it should be possible.” Zhang Yu quickly added, seeing Granny Jiang getting excited.
“That’s what I’m thinking. My Kang is fired 24/7, so if I can grow sothing, it will be great. If not, I’d lose nothing.” Zhang Yu noticed that even Widow Luo had co out.
Granny Jiang nodded repeatedly, “My Kang is also heated around the clock. I’ll give it a try too.”
“I happen to have so flower pots at ho.” Being soone who takes action, Granny Jiang filled up with water and started hustling at ho.
Anyway, the flower pots were from previous vegetable planting; though moving them inside was a hassle, it was a small problem altogether.
