Chapter 257 Picking Peppers

 Liu Zhuangtou raised his eyebrows, "So what, it seems that you are not unaware of it."

  "Our young master knows who you are. It was only for the sake of Second Master Gu that we I'll lend you the house."

  "Besides, I should have kicked you out for doing such dirty things in someone else's house!"

  He sneered, "You're here to ruin that girl's reputation. There's a lot of trouble in the store. If I had a daughter, I wouldn't marry you!"

  Shanzi's mother finally understood the truth with her eyes wide open. She slapped Shanzi on the back, "You, you go to Xiaofei's store today! Are you making trouble?"

  Shanzi said impatiently: "I'm not making trouble, I just said a few words to Xing'er!"

  After hearing this, Shanzi's mother felt that the sky was about to fall. That girl Gu Fei was so cruel. Offended?

  No, we will drive them away immediately!

  It's just that this place is really unlivable. Xing'er and Shanzi never see each other when they look up, and they don't know what will happen again one day.

  Shan Zima 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 it."

  Liu Zhuang snorted and left.

  Shan Zima couldn't help but shed tears when he left.

  She can no longer control this son anymore. 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 fine if he has a wife.

  But where is the money to get a wife right now?

  After paying back Master Su's ten taels of silver, there really wasn't anything left in his hand.

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

  Shan Zi's mother touched the silver bracelet on her wrist, but she couldn't help it, she couldn't keep it.

  Alas, if I had known earlier, I would have picked up a girl on the way to escape, and now I wouldn't have to worry.

  Shan Zima was adamant, so she paid back 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. This 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 hasn't been home much for a month or two. When she gets home, she just throws herself 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, and send some to Yipin Pavilion and Zuixian Tower every day from tomorrow on." , and in my shop, I pick some of the red peppers and make them into chopped peppers, and the rest are dried in the sun."

  Everyone in the Gu family couldn't help but feel happy. After almost half a year, they finally had something to gain.

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

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

  Almost all of Gu Fei's family were strong laborers, and they picked each one very quickly.

  When 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 ground 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 Gu Fei's family picking chili peppers, the eldest uncle, aunt and uncle also hurried over.

  The family looked at the pile 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?"
