Chapter: 1237

"Li's brain isn't good?" Xiao Chang frowned and said: "Why are they still cultivating vegetables in their yard?"

"Don't worry about it," Old Xiaodaotai laughed and said: "As long as we don't have to spend money buying vegetables, we can just go to Li's place every day and steal some. We'll get the freshest and best vegetables right away!"

"That's really great!" Xiao Chang chuckled: "Not only is it healthy, but also cost-effective!"

At this meal, Red Hong used the vegetables Old Xiaodaotai stole from Li's place to cook several delicious dishes.

It's also because these vegetables were just too good that the entire Xiao family was eating with mouthfuls of praise.

Xiao Hai Long usually doesn't like eating vegetables, but today he took the initiative to eat a lot.

Because today's vegetables are really too delicious!

Looking at all the dishes on the table being devoured, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't think that the vegetables from the Li's place would be this good. So, I'll go back to their house and pick some more when it's afternoon."

Xiao Hai Long hurriedly asked: "Grandma, if we let Li discover that we're stealing his vegetables, won't he come looking for trouble with us?"

Mrs. Xiao gave a cold huff: "Let him come looking for me, as long as he dares to move my things, I'll get even with him!"

Xiao Chang chuckled and said: "You still have your ways, Mom!"

After lunch, Wang Zhenggang arranged another truckload of hydrangeas to be sent over.

The hydrangeas he sent were all high-quality varieties that grew very luxuriantly with a bright green color. Moreover, each one was without flowers, just as Li had requested.

Hydrangeas are plants that grow similarly to Chinese chives, and when they're not in bloom, they look even more alike.

In the city, people's perception of plants is not as clear-cut, and most people have eaten chives, seen chopped chives, but never seen ones growing in the ground, so it's easy to get chives and hydrangeas mixed up.

Chives are a popular vegetable among the people, whether stir-fried or used in soup or as filling for buns, they're all essential ingredients.

However, this stuff can't be eaten.

Why not? Because it contains hydrangea alkaloids.

Hydrangea alkaloids themselves are toxic substances.

Leaf Chen listened to Ma Ran say that Mrs. Xiao likes to eat chives and immediately thought of this kind of plant.

He knew that Mrs. Xiao would steal vegetables again after succeeding once, and would definitely come back often.

So he let Wang Zhenggang arrange for the workers to plant these hydrangeas along the wall corner.

This way, Mrs. Xiao can grab a big handful from outside the iron fence and steal them easily.

If she steals these hydrangeas and eats them thinking they're chives, her fate will be very miserable indeed.

Although it's not fatal, going to the hospital for a few days is estimated to be unavoidable. JrNovels.com
