Chapter 228 - Jealous (2/2)

Hana greeted her from below with a smile. ”Anya! Aiden has already gone to the office. He said he'd come home at five and take you somewhere.”

”Oh?” Anya sat at the dining table and asked, ”Mrs. Hana, my electric bicycle fully charged?”

”Yes,” Hana answered, ”Are you going to go?”

”Yes. I'm going to the garden.” Over breakfast, Anya said, ”I'll take some sweet potatoes and send them to Ms. Maria.”

”Mr. Bima really likes the osmanthus tea that you make. He said that every day he would drink one cup. I see, there are many osmanthus growing. Would you like to make more osmanthus tea?” Hana suggested.

Anya's eyes sparkled at once. ”Okay, I'll also take osmanthus. I've been short on cash lately too. This is the perfect opportunity to sell osmanthus tea and sweets.”

Hana was stunned for a moment when she heard that. ”Anya, if you're short on money, why don't you tell Aiden?”

”I want to make my own money,” Anya replied.

Hana thought for a moment and finally decided not to kill Anya's spirit. ”Alright, then we'll make more osmanthus tea for Mr. Bima and sell the rest.”

After breakfast, Anya went to her garden, heading straight to the vanilla garden.

Only one employee was there, while his colleague was resting.

They both stayed up all night until dawn. Once they saw that the vanilla they were caring for looked better, they took turns to rest.

”Ma'am, you have come. The vanilla is fine,” the man happily said.

Anya breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the plant's freshness.

”Thank you for your hard work. I want to dig a sweet potato, do you want it too?” Anya asked with a smile.

”I'll help you,” the employee happily replied.

”If you want to eat, you can take it yourself next time. I divided the sweet potato area into three parts. Some will ripe in October, some in September and the rest are ready to go now. We can also plant broccoli or cabbage,” Anya put the sweet potato she took into her bag.

”Ma'am, how about growing strawberries?” The employee suggested her.

Anya laughed awkwardly, ”To be honest, I planted strawberries after harvesting all the yams last year. But the yield is not good.”

”When I went to school, I learned about the genetics of strawberries for several months. I can help you to grow strawberries,” the man said.

Anya's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she remembered that two of her employees were very busy. Where did they ever think of a new plant?

She said with a slightly awkward smile, ”Wouldn't that bother you?”

”It's okay, Ma'am. After harvesting, I can eat it too,” the man said half jokingly.

Anya laughed when she heard him, ”I leave this garden with you. I'm waiting for the strawberries in the new year!” she said excitedly.

The man helped Anya to get the sweet potatoes on her bicycle.

”Some people will come to collect osmanthus. Please make sure they don't spoil my flowers,” Anya said before leaving.

”Yes, Ma'am,” the man nodded and saw Anya leave on her bicycle.

When Anya returned home, only Hana was left there. The other servants had gone into the garden to get osmanthus flowers.

Hana saw Anya carrying two bags of sweet potatoes heading to the kitchen in surprise.

”Anya, you are very strong. Are your energy not running out?” She said with a smile.

”This sweet potato is not heavy, ma'am. It's more difficult to carry flowers and fertilizers,” Anya replied, smiling back. She was used to doing heavy work like this.

”Why did you bring your own flowers and fertilizer?” Aiden's voice came from behind.
