Chapter 52 -52: Howling to the Heart’s Depth

“No, I just feel like there were too many people, and when it comes time to divide up the money, it will be a messy account. With more people, disputes are bound to arise over time. It’s better not to get involved from the start.” Her response was that simple and blunt, leaving Fan Tianhua speechless. She really thought her high school cousin had some grand idea, but it was just about the difficulty of splitting money with too many partners.

But there was nothing wrong with that statement. If they really went into business, her brother wasn’t even in this field. Without holding an essential position or contributing as much as others, how much could he earn? She couldn’t help but feel it wasn’t worth it, and those who were supposed to go into business with him really weren’t reliable at all.

…

The children’s playground in the mall is similar to those of later generations, with activities like playing with balls, cars, slides, and moving through tunnels and such, which are generally safe for 3-year-olds. Children love to play, and once they start, they can play all day long. Leaving them here does make time pass pleasantly.

Since they were already out, they naturally decided to have lunch outside. Although the mall seemed old, there were plenty of dining options. Mei Mengchen, who had been playing merrily in the morning, was now famished and specifically requested steak for lunch. A party of them arrived at a Western restaurant, where each ordered a steak, added a fruit salad, and some other small dishes.

However, after tasting their orders, everyone shook their heads. After experiencing the food from the “space”, they truly felt that the external food just wasn’t as tasty. But since they had never prepared steak at home, trying something new was still acceptable. After finishing everything they ordered, Fan Tianyu even felt compelled to remark, “The taste isn’t bad, but it’s nowhere near as good as what Zhenzhen makes. It’s fine once in a while, but I couldn’t eat it every day.”

Speaking of which, Fan Tianyu became rather sentimental: “I lived with you for a week, and you really spoiled my taste buds. Just thinking about leaving makes me reluctant to part with these flavors. What am I going to do if I can’t eat such delicious food in the future?” After saying this, Fan Tianyu theatrically sniffed, but of course, there were no tears—men don’t easily shed tears, especially not over food.

“Well, just come back often,” she said. “Like Sister Tianhua, come home once a week and I’ll cook something delicious for you, ensuring a different menu each time. Besides, eating too much every day isn’t healthy. Changing it up like this is better.”

Unable to help himself, Fan Tianyu swallowed hard, finding truth in Mei Mengzhen’s words. Truth be told, he did feel uncomfortably full every day, but his mouth couldn’t resist overeating. “Alright, since the business venture fell through, I’m not in a hurry to leave. I’ll stay at your place for now while I consider whether to look for a job or start a business on my own.”

“Actually, starting a business is a good idea. We just think the people you wanted to partner with weren’t reliable. If you start on your own, we would still support you,” she said.

Fan Tianhua nodded, “Exactly, we do support viable endeavors. Let’s forget about this time. You can also use this period to contemplate what you really want to do next.”

After Fan Tianyu paid the bill, the four of them began to stroll around the mall. This outing was not only to take Mei Mengchen out to play but also to buy him a few pieces of clothing. September had arrived, and the weather would soon turn cooler, yet Mei Mengchen had visibly grown quite a bit. Clothes from the summer could still be squeezed into, since summer was almost over.

However, clothing for fall and winter wouldn’t do—the clothes from the previous year probably couldn’t fit him at all now.

Since Mei Mengchen was growing quickly, she didn’t bother buying too many clothes, just two sets for changing were enough. After purchasing the clothes and since it was still early, they dropped Mei Mengchen off at the children’s playground again, only picking him up when it was almost time to take the bus home.

Of course, Fan Tianyu went straight back to Jiangcheng.

During the week, they had eaten vegetables she’d prepared in advance. With the week’s consumption, there weren’t many left in the fridge. Anticipating that Fan Tianyu probably wouldn’t leave in the next day or two, Mei Mengzhen decided to use the cart to fetch more vegetables, pulling it from the backyard to the front before saying, “Brother Tianyu, I’m going to haul some vegetables back. Just sit at home for a while.”

Seeing Mei Mengzhen resort to using a cart, Fan Tianyu couldn’t sit still. “Let me help you. The cart will be quite heavy with the vegetables—you might not be able to pull it back on your own. I’ll go.”

“No need. The seller is a bit odd, only selling vegetables to me. What if they refuse to sell if you come along?” Mei Mengzhen casually made up an excuse. Besides, how could she take vegetables out of her space with Fan Tianyu following her? She couldn’t let him come along.

Fan Tianyu frowned. “That’s really strange. Well, let me know if it’s too far and you can’t pull the cart back. Just call me, and I can help if you can’t find the seller when you get there,” he said.

At that moment, Fan Tianyu completely forgot that he had turned off his phone, while reminding Mei Mengzhen.

But Mei Mengzhen remembered that Fan Tianyu’s phone was off, and since she hadn’t seen him turn it back on, his absence would mean one less phone call to make. She didn’t remind him, thinking that there would be just two crates on the cart—how could she not manage?

“Okay, I’ll be back soon.”

Mei Mengzhen pulled the cart quite a distance and took a while to find a secluded spot with no one around. After waiting a long time without hearing anyone passing by, she daringly took out the vegetables and meat from the space, filling one crate with vegetables and meat, and the other with various fruits, though not too much of each type, except for two large watermelons that took up some space.

After loading the cart, Mei Mengzhen carefully looked around before pulling the cart out. This trip took a bit longer, and by the time she reached the entrance of the lane, she saw Fan Tianyu looking around anxiously. Upon seeing her figure from afar, he hurried over to meet her.

“You bought way too much,” he said, naturally taking over the task of dragging the cart.

Mei Mengzhen replied, “It’s not meant to be eaten in one day. You take some vegetables and fruit back to your house too. The vegetables your aunt took last time must have been finished by now.”

Indeed, the vegetables had long been eaten, and because they were delicious, they consumed more each day and consequently ran out faster. She thought about buying more vegetables herself, but with the local market not setting up stalls and feeling awkward to keep asking Mei Mengzhen, they just went back to eating regular greens, which failed to stimulate any appetite in either of them.

Just as they were fretting at home, Fan Tianyu returned, carrying vegetables and fruit.

“Dad, Mom, I’ve brought vegetables,” Fan Tianyu’s cry directly touched his parents’ hearts.

Mei Yinan hurried to the door to take the vegetables from Fan Tianyu’s hands and asked, “What kind of vegetables are these? Are these from Zhenzhen’s house? If you take them, will you have enough to eat at your place?”
