Chapter 257 Picking Peppers

Liu Zhuangtou raised his eyebrows, "So what? It seems that you are not ignorant of the matter."

"Our master knows who you are. He lent you the house for Mr. Gu's sake."

"Besides, living in someone else's house and making such a dirty thing, you should have been kicked out long ago!"

He sneered, "You ruined the reputation of the girl and even went to the store to make trouble. If I had a daughter like you, I would not marry you!"

Shanzi's mother stared and finally heard the explanation. She slapped Shanzi on the back, "You, you went to Xiaofei's store to make trouble today?"

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

Shanzi's mother felt that the sky was about to fall after hearing this. Gu Fei was so cruel, how could she be offended?

Look, they were going to be kicked out immediately!

However, this place is really uninhabitable. Xing'er and Shanzi are always together, and there is no telling what will happen next.

Shanzi's mother bowed her head and bowed to Liu Zhuangtou, "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 waited for him to leave and couldn't help crying.

She is getting more and more unable to control her son now. This won't work. She has to find him a wife as soon as possible!

This boy has grown up and is thinking about that matter. It will be better if he has a wife.

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

After paying back the ten taels of silver to Mr. Su, I really have nothing left.

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. There is no way to keep it.

Alas, if I had known earlier, I should have picked up a girl on the way to escape from the famine, and now I would not have to worry.

Shanzi's mother was quite tough. She returned ten taels of silver the next day, packed up her things, put them on the mule cart, and moved away with her and her son.

It wasn't long before it was mid-April. That morning, Gu Qing went to the city to call Gu Fei home and asked her to see if the peppers could be picked.

Gu Fei hadn't been home for a month or two. When she got home, she went straight to the field.

She saw the peppers in the field were green and red, hanging down densely, and she was happy to see them.

The whole family looked at Gu Fei eagerly, "Is this ripe? Can we pick them?"

Gu Fei nodded, "Pick them. Pick less green peppers. From tomorrow on, send some to Yipin Pavilion and Zuixianlou, and my shop every day. Pick some red peppers and make chopped peppers, and dry the rest."

The Gu family couldn't help but be happy. It's been almost half a year, and they can finally have a harvest.

Everyone in the family, young and old, went to the field to pick peppers. Even Xiaocao helped. When she saw peppers falling on the ground, she would quickly pick them up and put them in the basket.

Gu Fei called her, "Xiaocao, don't pick them up. Your hands are so tender and they will hurt in a while!"

Gu Fei's family was almost all strong laborers, and they picked peppers very quickly.

When the sun was about to set, Gu Fei looked around and saw that seven people in the family had picked peppers from four acres of land.

The picked peppers were placed in baskets on the ground. Finally, they were weighed and found that more than 4,000 kilograms of peppers were picked from four acres of land.

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

Seeing that Gu Fei's family had picked peppers, the eldest uncle, the eldest aunt, and the younger uncle also hurried over.

The family looked at the full basket of peppers, and they didn't feel hungry even though they hadn't eaten dinner. Chen looked at Gu Fei with hope, "How much should this fresh pepper sell for per kilogram?"
