Farming Space Makes Me Rich-Chapter 509 - Xiao Ling
Chapter 509 Xiao Ling
Three months later…
Mother Xiao held the chubby little boy in her arms, who was at least 10 Jin heavier than when he was born. She said with a smile, “Our Tong Tong is getting more and more beautiful!”
Grandma Xiao said with a smile, “Yes. He’s at least 18 Jin now.”
Grandma Xiao held the little boy in her arms and weighed him. She said, “When he was born, he was already more beautiful than any other baby. Now he’s even more beautiful.”
“Xiao Tong is a boy. He’s handsome, not beautiful. Right, Xiao Tong?” Xiao Lingyun held a rattle drum and shook it in front of Xiao Tong.
Xiao Letong, who was in Grandma Xiao’s arms, finally opened his eyes. His eyes were as bright as the sea of stars. His small face was white and tender, with a hint of red. It made people want to pinch his cheeks.
Xiao Letong’s big round eyes rolled around. He looked like a smart and intelligent boy.
After hearing Xiao Lingyun’s words, he made two “Ya ya” sounds as if he was responding to her words.
Xiao Lingyun immediately said in amusement, “Haha. Look, Xiao Tong agrees with me. He can understand me.”
Grandma Xiao hugged little fatty and said with a smile, “This child is really intelligent It seems that he can understand everything we say. It’s just that he’s too young. He can understand but can’t speak. Come, Tong Tong, call great-grandma.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Tong grumbled twice as if calling his great-grandma.
There was another burst of laughter.
Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Tong and sighed. “The child is already three months old. The child’s father is still in a coma.”
The others immediately fell silent.
After Gong Tianhao was transferred back to the capital, he was treated for a period of time before being transferred overseas.
However, even if there were state-of-the-art medical equipment and technology overseas, Gong Tianhao would not be able to recover in a short period of time.
Gong Tianhao had injured the brain nerve. The damage was irreversible. He lay there in a coma. Situ Xing was doing his best to study the brain nerves, hoping to help Gong Tianhao recover as soon as possible.
“Tianhao has good fortune. We should believe in him. He will definitely wake up and recover as soon as possible,” Grandma Xiao comforted her.
She didn’t know much about brain trauma, but she believed that Gong Tianhao would survive this. He would wake up because he still had a wife and son.
Xiao Lingyun nodded. “I agree. Brother-in-law will survive this.”
“Our Tong Tong is so beautiful, but Tianhao hasn’t even seen him before.” Grandma Xiao said.
“Second aunt, did Sister go out again?”Xiao Lingyun looked around but did not see Xiao Lingyu.
Mother Xiao said, “The store in City Z is about to open. She is going to City Z to do some preparations.” When she mentioned her daughter, a deep worry appeared on Mother Xiao’s face.
Xiao Lingyun frowned slightly. “Ever since brother-in-law’s accident, Sister has been working non-stop. How can this be good for her health?”
Grandma Xiao said, “But she would not listen to us.”
A new mother should rest for at least a month. However, Xiao Lingyu ran into a car accident, and her lover went into a coma on the second day of her birth.
On the second day after Gong Tianhao left, Xiao Lingyu began to work on the fields, the mountain, and the shop. She stayed up all night and made a plan for the future.
The next day, she took all the materials she had prepared and registered a company trademark with the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
The name of her company was Green Fresh. Xiao Lingyu planned to sell agricultural products. She would expand her business into farming and sales.
Xiao Lingyu’s first step was to use Taoyuan Village to create a farming kingdom. It would become a village that combined the characteristics of farming, sales, and tourism. The products sold by Green Fresh had to come from Taoyuan Village.
Her second step was to open up company branches.
She wanted to sell her products all over the country. But she had to manage her shops herself or else she would be scammed or used by others.
Envy was prevalent in this world. People couldn’t see others living a better life than they were. This envy could turn into hatred.
The most important thing for people in business was their reputation. Therefore, to ruin a company, one would ruin its reputation.
Since Xiao Lingyu planned to do this, she wouldn’t allow anyone to stand in her way. Therefore, other than the few hotels and stores that she cooperated with, her products would only be stocked at her own shops.
And the third…
After Xiao Lingyu registered her company, she spent three days and three nights drafting a plan for the company’s future development.
What Xiao Lingyu had now was six mountains with an area of more than 10,000 mu, as well as the 18 mus of rented dry land and the rented 10 mus of paddy fields, plus her own six mu of land.
Xiao Lingyu estimated the funds on hand and felt that there was a need to rent more paddy fields to grow rice.
Xiao Lingyu put down the pen and tapped her sore shoulders with her hand before stretching
“Yu ‘Er…” Mother Xiao knocked on the door.
“Mom, the door isn’t locked. Come in,” Xiao Lingyu said.
Mother Xiao brought in a bowl of wine lees, goji berries, dates, and eggs. She said, “Yu ‘Er, you’ve been busy all day. You must be hungry. Come, eat some eggs!”
As she said this, she put the eggs down on the table and instructed, “These eggs are nutritious and will be good for milk production. You must finish them!”
Xiao Lingyu looked at the eggs and sighed lightly. “Mom, I can’t eat them.” She had been eating so many eggs that she wanted to vomit when she saw them now. She had no idea where this tradition came from. Why would new mothers stuff themselves with chicken and eggs?
Wouldn’t it cause indigestion?
But there was nothing she could do. Xiao Lingyu resisted a few times, but it was to no avail.
Mother Xiao forced her to finish the food. Sometimes, she had to eat fifteen or sixteen eggs a day.
Thankfully, she was allowed to eat some vegetables after the first month. This involved the baby’s milk, so the adults were very careful. If they didn’t follow the rules, the baby would react badly. Therefore, if the mother sneaked to eat some other food, the adults could tell from the baby’s poop.
Mother Xiao heard her daughter complain, and she said, “You have to eat this! You’re still breastfeeding! And look at you. Other mothers gain weight during this period, but you are getting thinner and thinner. Xiao Lingyu, if you can’t provide nutrients to my grandson, I’ll never forgive you.”
“…” Xiao Lingyu sighed. “Mom, do you really think that little fatty lacks nutrients?”
In this life, Xiao Tong was cherished by many people.
He was fair, fat, and tender. He was three months old and loved to laugh.
Mother Xiao knocked her daughter’s head and said unhappily, “How can you say that about your own son?”
Xiao Lingyu rubbed her head and said, “It is the truth.”
“Alright, I won’t argue with you anymore.” Mother Xiao then said with a serious expression, “It’s about time for Tong Tong’s chat with Old Master Gong, right?”
Every Friday at six o’clock in the morning, Old Master Gong and Xiao Tong would video chat.
“That’s right!” Xiao Lingyu nodded.
The news of Gong Tianhao’s coma eventually spread through the capital. The ghosts and monsters had begun to stir, eyeing the Gong family covetously.
Tong Tong needed to be well-protected.
In order to protect Tong Tong’s safety, Old Master Gong didn’t dare to contact Tong Tong, his great-grandson, even if he wanted to. He was afraid that he would accidentally expose Tong Tong.
Furthermore, Old Master Gong had Tong Tong take on Xiao Lingyu’s surname for now. Otherwise, people might trace the name back to Tong Tong
Mother Xiao looked at her daughter, staring blankly at the eggs, and knocked her head again, saying, “Hurry up and eat while it’s hot. It’ll taste worse when it’s cold.”
Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to pick up her chopsticks and eat the lees, goji berries, dates, and eggs.
Mother Xiao hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth to ask, “Yu ‘Er, is Tianhao still not awake?”
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “Not
yet.”
According to the estimation of the spatial spirit, Gong Tianhao would probably wake up in three years. Of course, the advanced medical tech overseas might help him wake up earlier.
Mother Xiao’s eyes filled with disappointment. She sighed. “Tianhao, the child…” after that, she did not say anything else.
She looked at Xiao Lingyu, who was eating an egg, and instructed, “You have to finish the eggs. I’ll come over later to collect the bowl. There’s still a little child to feed.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded.
After Mother Xiao left, Xiao Lingyu immediately put down her chopsticks, held the eggs, and entered the space.
“Xiao Ling!” Xiao Lingyu called out softly as soon as she entered the space.
A three or four-year-old child wearing a red undergarment appeared in front of her. “Master!”
“Come, eat the eggs!” Xiao Lingyu immediately handed the bowl to the spirit. “Finish it quickly!”
Xiao Ling frowned and said, “Master, how many times have I told you that I don’t eat these earthly things? Why do you ask me to eat these things every day?”
Xiao Lingyu curled her lips and said, “That is an order. Plus, this is good for you!”
Xiao Ling couldn’t resist and could only helplessly take the bowl and chopsticks. Then, he picked up the eggs and began to eat, but his brows were tightly furrowed.
Xiao Ling was the farming space’s spirit.
Back then, in her haste, Xiao Lingyu did not have the time to understand his origin.
After Gong Tianhao and the rest left, Xiao Lingyu entered the space again and understood the rest.
It turned out that the phoenix-shaped jade pendant that she picked up was actually an object from outer space. There was a different dimension in outer space that was completely different from Earth where Xiao Lingyu was.
That dimension was one of wuxia. The jade pendant was actually a spiritual artifact. The person who forged this spiritual artifact was a young immortal. He was punished to work in the field because he had offended someone important. He was angry, so he forged this artifact. He transferred the magical field that he was supposed to farm into the pendant and threw it into outer space.
Over the years, the spiritual artifact gained a spirit, who was Xiao Ling.
It was not a coincidence that Xiao Lingyu picked up the jade pendant.
Xiao Ling sensed that Xiao Lingyu was compatible with the artifact. So when she went to the river to play, he deliberately emerged from the bottom and directly appeared in front of Xiao Lingyu.
In his previous life, Xiao Lingyu had never triggered the space because she did not have this opportunity.
Before the space was triggered, the spirit of space was unable to communicate with Xiao Lingyu at all. If Xiao Lingyu had mastered the farming space in her previous life, Xiao Tong’s illnesses could have been cured easily.
The spirit was very lonely. He had waited for thousands of years before he found someone who was compatible with his artifact. However, before the space was triggered, his master died.
The spirit was unwilling to give up. He manipulated the flow of time and sent Xiao Lingyu back to the past. As a result, he slumbered due to exhaustion. If the reincarnated Xiao Lingyu didn’t trigger the farming space, he would keep on hibernating. Thankfully, his gamble paid off. Xiao Lingyu accidentally entered the farming space, and he slowly woke up.
When he finally awakened, he heard Xiao Lingyu complaining at him. He quickly emerged to explain. If Xiao Lingyu really decided to abandon the space, then he’d work so hard for nothing.
However, because of his fear of abandonment, Xiao Lingyu had a stranglehold over Xiao Ling and always asked him to eat stuff that he didn’t want to.
Xiao Ling had no choice because Xiao Lingyu was his master… Sob sob…
