The Fruit Trees Are About to Ripen, I Listened to My Lazy Wife and Cut Down 80%
Wang Yong married Liu Mei, and everyone in the village called her the laziest woman around—she never worked, only cracked sunflower seeds and sat on the doorstep. Later, she told Wang Yong to cut down 80% of the apple trees. His father was so furious that he suffered a stroke, while his mother threatened him with a bottle of pesticide, demanding that he change his mind. The entire village gathered along the field ridges to watch and laugh at them. The couple moved into a rundown shack in the orchard and took care of their six mu of land. They spread lime, deeply plowed the soil, and covered it with river sand. This wasn't ordinary farming; it was artificial cultivation. They planted morel mushrooms, something nobody had ever seen before. Their very first sale brought in 190,000 yuan. Relatives came knocking to borrow money, his second uncle offered just 300 yuan to rent their land, and some people even blocked the entrance to their greenhouse to curse at him. Yet Liu Mei continued sitting around, cracking sunflower seeds as always. Only at the very end did Wang Yong finally ask her how she had known all along.

As Árvores de Fruto Estão Prestes a Amadurecer, Ouvi a Minha Mulher Preguiçosa e Cortei 80% (60 episódios)

Wang Yong casou-se com Liu Mei, e toda a aldeia a considerava a mulher mais preguiçosa de todas: não trabalhava, limitava-se a descascar sementes de girassol e a sentar-se à soleira da porta. Mais tarde, ela mandou Wang Yong cortar 80% das macieiras. O pai ficou tão furioso que sofreu um AVC, enquanto a mãe, com uma garrafa de pesticida na mão, o ameaçou para que mudasse de ideias. Toda a aldeia se reuniu junto aos caminhos entre os campos para se rir deles. O casal mudou-se para um barraco em ruínas no pomar e ficou a cuidar dos seus seis mu de terreno. Espalharam cal, revolveram profundamente a terra e cobriram-na com areia do rio. Não se tratava de agricultura comum, mas de uma transformação artificial do terreno. Plantaram cogumelos morel, que ninguém tinha visto antes. Logo na primeira venda, conseguiram 190 mil yuans. Os familiares apareceram para pedir dinheiro emprestado, o segundo tio ofereceu apenas 300 yuans para arrendar o terreno e houve até quem bloqueasse a entrada da estufa para o insultar. Mas Liu Mei continuava tranquilamente sentada a descascar sementes de girassol. Só no final Wang Yong conseguiu finalmente perguntar-lhe como é que ela sabia de tudo aquilo.
