Chapter 542: All Forced Out

At around five in the evening, Meng Qiuping returned home and saw that Chu Yiling was the only one in the main room. She asked Chu Yiling, "Lingling, where is your dad?"

"I'm planting vegetables in the backyard. Mom, you take a shower first. I'll go to the backyard to take a look."

"I'll go with you."

"That's fine. I just want to see how Dad's vegetables are doing."

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Your father used to grow vegetables and he did quite well."

"When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

"You weren't there at that time."

"Oh, it seems my dad is quite omnipotent."

"I was forced into this. To be honest, your father had a much harder life than I did."

Chu Yiling reached out and patted Meng Qiuping's arm twice after hearing what she said, and said to her, "Mom, my dad has finally come to an end of his hardships. He will live a happy life in the future."

"I know. We'll be in the backyard soon. Don't let your dad know what we just said, lest it reminds him of his bad memories."

Chu Yiling nodded after hearing Meng Qiuping's words, and continued to walk towards the backyard with Meng Qiuping.

"Why are you here?"

"We came to see how your new crop is doing."

"It's already been planted, all that's left is watering."

"I'll water it later. Let's eat first."

When Chu Anshan heard Meng Qiuping's words, he said "OK", put the straw in his hand aside, and went back to the house to have dinner.

More than half an hour later, when dinner was over, Chu Anshan asked Meng Qiuping, "Wife, how many small packages of mushroom powder have you prepared?"

"Not much, just twenty packs."

"so little?"

"There's nothing we can do. The production of mushroom powder can't keep up."

Chu Anshan sat up straight when he heard Meng Qiuping's words and asked Meng Qiuping, "Did anyone in the village deliver mushrooms to the processing plant today?"

"Yes, but not a lot, only about 180 kilograms."

"How can it be so little? Wasn't there more than 200 kilograms before?"

"It's probably related to the weather. If it doesn't rain today, the mushrooms will naturally grow slowly."

"It seems that I have to build the mushroom house as soon as possible, otherwise the mushroom powder will be in short supply sooner or later."

"Then you really need to speed up. The mushrooms we harvested now are just enough to keep the people in the processing plant busy. If there are fewer, the people in the factory will probably start to slack off."

"I understand. I have already started the preparations today. Once the village chief has his men build the house, I will immediately start growing mushrooms."
