Lu Qianqian nodded. Sure enough, the old lady’s imagination was pretty good — it saved her the trouble of guiding her toward the conclusion.
Old Madam Lu excitedly reached out to grab Lu Qianqian’s hand, but seeing the two seeds resting in her palm, she quickly withdrew her hand in fear of knocking them away.
“Qianqian, other than this, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”
Old Madam Lu was extremely excited inside. If things were truly as she imagined, then her daughter was destined for greatness. But no matter what, her daughter’s health came first.
“Mother, I’m really fine. I called you here because I want to try planting these seeds tomorrow. And somehow, I seem to know how to handle them.”
Lu Qianqian reassured her mother. She truly was alright.
“Good, good. As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters. There aren’t many vegetables planted in the backyard anyway, and it’s tucked away in the back so nobody usually goes there. Whatever you want to do, just do it there. If those vegetables get in your way, Mother will clear them out for you tomorrow.”
Old Madam Lu’s face was filled with excitement.
She had already adored this youngest daughter before, but now she treasured her even more.
Sure enough, her daughter was good at everything. Now she could even do things ordinary people couldn’t.
“Mother, don’t touch the vegetables yet. I just want to test things out first. If it really works, then I’ll think about what to do next.”
The vegetables were for the family’s own meals. If she truly needed more land later, she would think of another solution.
“Alright. Do whatever you want. If you need Mother to do anything, just say the word.”
“I know, Mother.”
Old Madam Lu chatted a little longer before finally leaving so her daughter could rest.
Lying on the rock-hard bed, Lu Qianqian found it difficult to adapt. She tossed and turned for quite a while before finally falling asleep.
The next day, the sun was already high in the sky when she woke up.
Listening to the sounds outside, Lu Qianqian couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the original owner had always woken up late too, so nobody would think much of it.
After getting up and washing herself, she checked the pot and found coarse rice porridge and a boiled egg left for her breakfast.
As long as Old Madam Lu had specifically left food for Lu Qianqian, nobody else in the family dared touch it. If anyone actually did, they’d simply be waiting to see how the old lady would deal with them.
Coarse rice porridge, boiled egg, and pickled vegetables — Lu Qianqian found the breakfast perfectly acceptable and happily ate in the main hall.
The one staying home today was Liu Zhaodi. The younger children were still too small, so an adult had to remain behind to look after them. Thus, the Lu family rotated one adult at home each day while the others worked in the fields.
Liu Zhaodi sat under the eaves holding a stool. Watching Lu Qianqian eat an egg filled her with jealousy.
A mere girl eating so well every day and using the best things — a useless girl who would eventually marry out anyway. Why should she deserve the good food and good treatment?
Still, Liu Zhaodi knew she couldn’t say any of this aloud. If she did, her mother-in-law would definitely beat her half to death.
Lu Qianqian couldn’t care less what Liu Zhaodi was thinking. After quickly finishing breakfast and washing the dishes, she headed to the backyard.
There was still plenty of empty space in the backyard. Only a few leafy greens were planted there, while the rest lay mostly unused.
Lu Qianqian chose a spot near the edge of the yard. After all, mangoes and guavas grew on trees and needed open space.
She first took out the mango seed. The seed was small, so she simply dug a little hole with her hand, placed it inside, and covered it with dirt. Then she paused with both hands hovering lightly above the soil mound.
At that moment, Lu Qianqian felt a warm current flowing from her hands into the soil.
Only after the warm flow stopped did she remove her hands.
Soon, she witnessed an astonishing scene.
First, a tiny sprout broke through the earth. Very quickly it became a sapling, then grew to over two meters tall with lush branches and leaves.
Flowers bloomed. Fruit appeared.
In less than a minute, an entire mature mango tree stood before her.
Lu Qianqian no longer knew what to say.
Were the florists of this world really like this too?
This was far too fantastical.
No wonder people in this world treated florists so differently.
Florists weren’t ordinary people — they were practically saviors!
If disasters or famine struck and there was no food, florists could simply grow it on the spot. People would never need to fear starvation.
[Master, you’re overthinking things.]
The system sensed Lu Qianqian’s thoughts and spoke helplessly.
“Isn’t that how it works? Look at this — one seed, and in under a minute it’s covered in fruit.”
Lu Qianqian stared at the mangoes with wide eyes. The rich fragrance made her swallow involuntarily.
Mangoes were one of her favorite fruits. Now the entire tree was covered in golden-yellow mangoes. Of course she was drooling over them.
[Master, at the beginning I told you that florists are the most common type in this world. But among florists, there exists another kind called Spirit Florists. The difference is that ordinary florists can cultivate plants others cannot grow, but the plants still mature at a normal pace. Spirit Florists, however, are like you — not only can they cultivate new plants, but they can also make plants grow instantly.]
Lu Qianqian opened her mouth, completely speechless.
In other words, not only had she obtained a cheat ability, but she had been massively overpowered on top of it.
“Then are Spirit Florists common in this world?”
[Only two Spirit Florists have ever appeared in this world. Right now, Master, you are the only one left.]
Fine.
Very fine indeed.
Not only had they reincarnated her into this world, they had also given her such an absurdly powerful advantage. If she still couldn’t live comfortably in this lifetime, then she truly would be hopelessly stupid.
“Ol… Old Aunt… what… what is this?”
Lu Qianqian turned around.
At the corner of the backyard stood Lu Chen, Lu Xi, and Lu Pan, staring in complete disbelief.
A whole tree had simply appeared before their eyes with a whoosh. The visual shock was overwhelming.
“Does the family have a ladder or something?”
Lu Qianqian honestly didn’t know whether the house had one. The tree was over two meters tall, and she couldn’t reach the fruit herself. She needed something to climb.
Although Lu Chen was only four years old, poor children matured early. He already understood many things.
Especially the fact that their aunt held a special position in the family — and that she liked scolding and hitting them. Normally, the children avoided getting close to her whenever possible.
Today, they had only come to see what their aunt was doing because Second Aunt had ordered them to. She herself didn’t dare come over, so she sent the children instead.
But none of them expected to witness such a miraculous sight.
“There’s none at home… but the village chief’s house has one.”
Lu Chen still hadn’t recovered from the shock and answered absentmindedly.
Lu Qianqian sighed helplessly. If there had been one at home, things would’ve been convenient. Now that they had to borrow one from another family, she’d probably need to find her father and the others to help.
After all, with the original owner’s terrible reputation, almost nobody in the village was willing to deal with her.
