Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124: All Troubles Caused by Being Soft-hearted

He saw that his son and daughter had returned.

He recalled that morning when An Ping had left in a hurry with the vegetables; now, the two of them coming back that gloomy was definitely a sign of serious trouble.

”How did the matter get handled?” An Shuchao asked anxiously.

”Dad, it’s a long story! Can we eat first? I’ll explain slowly at the dinner table,” An Ping said, exhausted.

”All right, all right. Go and rest first. I’ll finish cooking, and we’ll eat right away,” An Shuchao said as he turned and headed for the kitchen.

”But let me do it.” An Hao was more skilled in cooking.

”You go rest,” An Shuchao said, looking at his daughter with concern, ”Running around while pregnant! You’ve really gone through a lot.”

He then took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped An Shuchao’s sweat-soaked forehead, ”Look at what you’re saying. What trouble? We’re all family! I can’t just watch Qin Jian get involved, nor can I watch our heavily invested vegetable garden get destroyed like this.”

”It’s still my incompetence, I’m getting old, other than planting vegetables, I can’t manage the garden well,” An Shuchao sighed deeply.

”When the garden was small, it was easy to manage; it’s naturally difficult once it grows larger. There are too many big and small issues to handle. You can’t be blamed for this,” An Hao comforted her father, who had been managing it diligently. Now that such a thing had happened, she just didn’t want her father to feel upset.

The dinner was served, and the family of three sat around the table to eat.

An Hao connected all the recent events and explained them to An Shuchao.

After listening, An Shuchao was also extremely surprised.

”This morning after you left, I specifically went to the vegetable garden, and Qin Fen was there overseeing the picking and loading. But the vegetables that were picked were indeed fresh and good.”

”Qin Fen?” At that name, An Hao felt a jolt in her heart, ”What was he overseeing the loading of?”

”Isn’t he our employee?” An Ping said, trying to be firm.

”When did I agree to let him come to our garden?” Li Junping had talked to her about this, and she had not agreed.

This made Li Junping very upset, and her words were not pleasant.

Nevertheless, she had not agreed.

She was afraid that involving the Qin Family in the business might lead to trouble.

She was usually good at reading people.

Naturally, when Li Junping mentioned Qin Fen coming over to work, she had an uneasy feeling in her heart.

”You didn’t agree. I didn’t agree either,” An Ping glanced sneakily at An Shuchao, ”but Dad agreed, didn’t he?”

”What?” An Hao slammed her chopsticks down, angrily looking at her father, ”When I left, I stressed over and over that Qin Fen absolutely shouldn’t come over. What did you agree to? You told me to be at ease. What peace could I possibly have?”

”My girl, listen to me,” seeing An Hao upset, An Shuchao hurriedly tried to explain, ”I didn’t agree either, but the day you left, Li Junping came rushing over and started pressing me to let Qin Fen into the garden. I didn’t agree, but she started crying! All the villagers gathered around, and are you saying our family should act so unprincipled? For such a small matter, to let the neighbors gossip about our backbone, is it worth it?”

”So you agreed?” An Hao could have guessed as much.

”What else could I do?” An Shuchao sighed, ”Did I cause another
