Chapter 257 Picking Peppers

Liu Zhuangtou raised his eyebrows and said, "So what, it seems that you have no idea."

"Our young master knows who you are. It is for the sake of Second Master Gu that we lend you the house."

“Besides, if you live in someone else’s house and cause such dirty things, you should have been kicked out a long time ago!”

He sneered, "You ruined the reputation of this girl and even went to the store to make trouble. If I have a daughter in my family, I won't marry you!"

Shanzi’s mother glared and finally understood what the name was. She slapped Shanzi on the back, “You, did you go to Xiao Fei’s shop to cause trouble today?”

Shanzi said impatiently: "I didn't make a fuss, I just said a few words to Xing'er!"

Shanzi’s mother felt like the sky was about to fall when she heard this. Gu Fei, that girl, is so cruel. Can she be offended?

 No, we will drive them away immediately!

 It’s just that this place is really uninhabitable. Xing’er and Shanzi can’t see each other when they look up, and they don’t know what will happen again someday.

Shan Zi’s mother lowered her head and said to Liu Zhuang, “Thank you very much. I will look for a house tomorrow and move out as soon as I find one.”

Liu Zhuangtou snorted and left.

Shanzi’s mother couldn’t help but shed tears when he left.

She can no longer control her son. She must marry him a wife as soon as possible!

  When the boy grows up, he will be thinking about that kind of thing. It will be better if he has a daughter-in-law.

But where can I find the money to get a wife now?

  After repaying Mr. Su's ten taels of silver, there really is nothing left in my hand.

The mule cart cannot be sold. If it is sold, the family will have no income.

Shanzi’s mother touched the silver bracelet on her wrist. She couldn’t help it. She couldn’t keep it.

 Sigh, if I had known earlier, I should have picked up a **** the way to escape. Now I don’t have to worry.

Shan Zima was very stubborn, so she paid back the ten taels of silver the next day, collected the things, put them on the mule cart, and the mother and son moved away.

It wasn’t long before mid-April arrived. That morning, Gu Qing went into the city and asked Gu Fei to go home and let her see if the peppers could be picked.

Gu Fei has not been home much for a month or two. When he gets home, he just throws himself into the ground.

I saw the green and red peppers in the ground hanging down densely. I felt happy just looking at them.

The whole family looked at Gu Fei eagerly, "Is this considered ripe? Can it be picked?"

Gu Fei nodded, "Pick. Pick less green peppers. From tomorrow onwards, send some to Yipin Pavilion and Zuixian Tower every day, as well as to my shop. Pick some of the red peppers and make them into chopped peppers, and dry the rest." ”

Everyone in the Gu family couldn't help but be happy. It's been almost half a year, and they finally have something to gain.

 Everyone in the family, old or young, went to the ground to pick chili peppers. Even the grass was there to help. If any chili peppers fell on the ground, they quickly picked them up and put them in the basket.

Gu Fei called to her, "Don't pick up the grass, your hands are so tender that it will be so spicy that it hurts!"

Nearly all of Gu Fei's family are strong laborers, and they pick each one very quickly.

As the sun was about to set, Gu Fei took a look and saw that seven people in the family had picked peppers from four acres of land.

The picked peppers were placed in the field in baskets and finally weighed. More than 4,000 kilograms of peppers were picked from four acres of land.

It took several trips by mule cart to bring all the peppers home.

Seeing that Gu Fei’s family was picking chili peppers, the eldest uncle, aunt and uncle also hurried over.

The family looked at the piles of chili peppers, and none of them felt hungry even if they had not eaten dinner. Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Fei with hope, "How much does a pound of these fresh chili peppers cost?"
