Old Zhou: "Isn't that alright then? Your Fourth Sister-in-law and the others aren't meticulous people; I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of those flowers and plants. It's a waste of plants and land; it would be better to grow vegetables."
Manbao was left speechless, and Old Zhou pointed along the way, saying, "Look at this soil, it's almost black, it shows it's well-nurtured. What's planted here?"
Manbao glanced and said, "Chinese Cymbidium, but it doesn't seem very suitable to plant it here."
"It looks like it's almost dead, of course it's not suitable. Pull it out and plant some scallions instead. Scallion flowers look nice and you can eat them," Old Zhou said, "Later, when your Big Sister-in-law cooks for you, she can pick a handful of scallions right away, fresh and delicious."
Manbao, who was about to refuse, thought this idea wasn't bad and nodded in agreement.
