Hannah felt utterly embarrassed by the recent diagnosis, which made her eager to impress Lady Wilson and her husband. To show her gratitude, she sold the coffee machine and decided to use the extra cash to purchase some ribs and pork belly, nning to prepare a hearty meal for her family.
However, Lady Wilson’s reaction was less than enthusiastic when she found out Hannah had bought vegetables. With a frown, she scolded her, saying, “Oh my goodness, why did you waste money on vegetables?”
Hannah, taken aback, replied, “Mom, we can’t just eat meat! We need a bnced meal to ensure we get all the vitamins and nutrients our bodies require.”
Lady Wilson, pulling her into the kitchen, pointed to a basket filled with freshly stolen vegetables and dered, “Look at these! I took all of these fresh veggies from Charlie’s yard. They have a huge vegetable garden that we can easily ess from their fence, so we won’t have to spend money on vegetables anymore.”
Suddenly, Hannah recalled seeing Charlie’s yard under construction earlier that morning. She had been curious but hadn’t thought much of it at the time.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Examining the vegetables more closely, Hannah eximed, “Wow, Mom, you’re absolutely right! These veggies look incredibly fresh and appetizing—better than the organic ones I purchased at the market!”
With a proud smile, Lady Wilson picked up a long green cucumber from the basket. “Look at this cucumber! It’s so big and has lovely little yellow flowers on the stem. It’s not only fresh but also so clean it’s like it’s been washed!”
She then rinsed the cucumber under the faucet, rubbed its skin, and snapped it in half with a satisfying crunch.
A delightful aroma filled the air, and Lady Wilson sighed, “Wow, how can their cucumber smell so sweet and juicy?”
Unable to resist, she took a generous bite.
A joyful smile spread across Lady Wilson’s face as she chewed, mumbling, “This is the best cucumber I have ever tasted!”
Just then, Christopher walked into the kitchen, drawn in by the invigorating scent of the cucumber. “Wow, what a fragrant cucumber! Can I have the other half?” he asked eagerly.<fn2e63> For original chapters go to find?novel</fn2e63>
Lady Wilson dly handed it to him. He took a bite and gave Hannah an enthusiastic thumbs-up. “Wow, dear, where did you get this? It’s delicious!”
Hannah quickly waved her hands and said, “Oh, I didn’t buy this. Mom, um, borrowed it from next door. I mean, Mom picked it.”
“Picked it?” Christopher asked, astonished. “Mom, where did you pick this cucumber?”
With a coy smile, Lady Wilson replied, “At Charlie’s house. They cleared a big area in their yard for a vegetable garden and nted a variety of fresh, green vegetables. I noticed it when I stepped outside, so I grabbed a basket and went to pick some.”
Christopher raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Is Charlie even in his right mind? Why would he nt vegetables in his yard?”
“Who cares?” Lady Wilsonughed cheerfully. “The important thing is we won’t need to spend money on veggies anymore! We can just go out and pick the freshest ones from Charlie’s garden!”
Christopher chuckled with delight. “That’s a brilliant idea! We can save money and eat healthily!”
For lunch, Hannah prepared a variety of scrumptious dishes using the vegetables that Lady Wilson had taken from Charlie’s garden.
Thanks to the fresh ingredients, the entire Wilson family enjoyed a hearty and joyous meal.
Although Harold usually avoided vegetables, he found himself eating a lot today because they tasted so good!
As the tes became emptier, Lady Wilson sighed in surprise, “I never expected Charlie’s vegetables to be this amazing! I think I’ll head over thereter to gather some more.”
Concerned, Harold asked, “Grandma, what if Charlie finds out we’re taking his vegetables? Will he report us?”
Lady Wilson scoffed dismissively, “Let hime at me! If he dares to confront me, I’ll be ready!”
Christopher smiled at her, saying, “Mom, you really are the best!”
