The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1085

At this time, Elaine had just finished lunch and was directing and ordering Charlie around. He was carrying an iron bucket and a shovel as he dug into the soil in the green lane of the villa area. 8

Over the past two days, Elaine had had nothing better t o do. She could not go out to play because of her broken leg, and she was extremely bored at home. She had scrolled through her circle of friends and realized that she had a female friend whom she did not have many dealings with in the past who had also bought a villa in the suburbs. 4

Moreover, she even planted a lot of fruits and vegetables in the yard of her villa. When she shared those photos of the fruits and vegetables that she had planted in her circle of friends, many people had given her a thumbs up, saying that she was very smart and understood life. 6

Elaine had been very jealous. On a whim, she had also stated that she wanted to grow vegetables and fruits i n the yard of their villa. 1

However, she had broken her leg and would not be able to shovel the ground. Hence, she could only arrange for Charlie to do this kind of work. 6

Charlie originally did not want to entertain her at all. After all, he had already had a showdown with her last time. If Elaine was to live in his villa in the future, she

would have to be polite and respectful toward him. Therefore, he would not allow her to order him around. 6

However, when Claire, his wife, heard that her mother wanted to grow some fruits and vegetables, she also felt that this kind of thing would be able to edify her sentiments. Moreover, she would be able to stay at home and live an honest life instead. Therefore, Claire came forward to ask Charlie for help. 9

This was the only reason why Charlie had agreed.

In his opinion, it would be a good idea to let Elaine grow some vegetables instead of coming up with all sorts of wicked ideas all the time. 1

Therefore, after they were done eating, he helped her shovel some soil in the villa, and he had already circled a place for her to make her vegetable garden.

Elaine was standing using her crutch. At this time, she told Charlie, "After digging the loess, don't forget t o dig the black soil too. The black soil smells bad." 5

Charlie nodded slightly and lowered his head as he continued digging without saying anything else.

Just as he was thinking of rejecting her unreasonable request, Elaine hurriedly said, "My dear son-in-law, let me tell you the truth. Claire really enjoyed growing vegetables and fruits ever since she was a child. When she was young, she would often drag me and her father to go out and pick some fruits and vegetables. When we entered other people's vegetable garden in the countryside, Claire would always be very unwilling to leave." 5

Charlie eyed her suspiciously before he said, "When was this? Why haven't I heard of this?"

Elaine hurriedly said, "Claire already grew up after that. She had to go to school and work after that. How could she possibly have the time to go to a vegetable garden? I swear to God. Claire really enjoyed these things when she was a child. As she was growing up, she also wanted to plant some vegetables in the courtyard of the Wilson family villa, but the old lady was always reluctant to let her do so."

Charlie thought to himself for a moment. If his wife really liked it, he would not mind making the arrangements for it.

Thus, he took out his cell phone before calling Claire and asked her, "Wife, it will already be the weekend tomorrow. Do you want to go out and pick some fruits and vegetables?”

"Okay!" As soon as Claire heard his words, she agreed immediately. "That would be perfect! Where are we going to pick fruits and vegetables? How did you know that I enjoyed picking fruits and vegetables?"
