Chapter 46 What shame is there!

There were two stoves before, and now there are two more, a total of four pots, all cooking together.

There are also people who collect pears at the door. Dabao and Erbao are watching over them, checking the quality, and are responsible for distributing the money.

When the collection reaches 100 kilograms, people will carry it in.

Granny Lu was there to help watch over the process, directing the simple yet tedious early stages of the work, such as drawing water from the well, washing the pears, and peeling the pears.

There were too many people, so Jiang Lianzhu watched from the side, maintaining order. "Pears are sold in a queue! We won't accept pears from those who don't queue, or those that aren't fresh, or those of poor quality..."

The queue came to a man, "We have 200 kilograms of pears to sell..."

Erbao stood up and said, "We won't accept your family."

The man was anxious. "Hey, what are you talking like that to? You accepted other people's things, but not ours? Aren't we from the same village?"

Jiang Lianzhu looked over and searched her memory. "Go back and ask your mother, Mrs. Zhao, why she didn't accept your pears! Your mother's eggs are missing, so she's going to take it out on us, Erbao, and we can't afford to accept them."

The man's face flushed, his neck thick with anger. "Why would you bother with such a small matter? We're from the same village... Let's just let the past go. From now on, I'll definitely keep my mother in check and won't let her cause trouble for your family. What do you think, sister? Maybe I can make amends on my mother's behalf and apologize or something?"

Jiang Lianzhu replied, "I'm sorry, I really hold grudges and can't let it go. Besides, if I'm not here in person to apologize, how can I be sincere?"

At this moment, suddenly, an old woman rushed out from the crowd.

She immediately knelt down in front of Jiang Lianzhu and Erbao. "I apologize. I'm old and blurry-eyed. I'm old and confused. I shouldn't have wrongly accused Erbao of stealing our eggs. Erbao is a good boy and would never steal our eggs. It was my two unlucky grandsons who stole them. It has nothing to do with Erbao. Please forgive me, an old woman with a careless mouth..."

Jiang, I shouldn't have been so sarcastic and veiled in your criticism. You're a good stepmother, kind-hearted, generous, and magnanimous. Don't bother with me. It's all because of my old age and confusion. I won't do that again. If you're still mad, just swat me in the face with a broom. I won't even fight back or give in. Do you like that? As long as you're willing to accept our pears..."

Isn’t this Mrs. Zhao!

When Jiang Lianzhu first came here, Mrs. Zhao falsely accused Erbao of stealing eggs from their house, and was slapped in the face by Jiang Lianzhu.

Later, she became jealous of the scholar's house assigned to her family by the village head, and came to the house to make fun of it, but was scared away by Erbao who brought a centipede.

This is also a ruthless person!

In order to allow his family to sell pears in the future, he knelt down and apologized without hesitation.

Jiang Lianzhu and her children never expected this.

Not only were they stunned.

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

For the sake of money, you don't care about your face at all?

At this point, Jiang Lianzhu gave the decision-making power to Erbao.

Erbao snorted coldly, "If you bully others again, I won't take any of your pears... Go away and don't disturb the team behind you."

The implication is that we can collect it today.

Mrs. Zhao thanked them again and again and returned to the crowd.

What shame!

Is there any silver worth money?

When Jiang was collecting pears yesterday, she said she would not collect any pears from anyone who had a grudge against her. So she stubbornly refused to sell the pears to Jiang and even went home to scold Jiang.

But I didn't sleep all night.

Why?

Seeing others selling pears, they were earning a few hundred coins each.

What about their family? They couldn't even sell a single pear. What a loss!

Today, Jiang's family expanded the scale of their harvest, harvesting 10,000 kilograms a day!

Their family is large, with lots of sons and grandchildren. If they pick as much as they want, they could probably pick a thousand kilograms a day.

How much silver is that?!

You can earn one or two taels a day!

You can’t make money this fast even if you rob people!

If you sell it for ten days or half a month, you can earn more than ten taels of silver. Isn’t that great?

You can buy two acres of dry land.

So today she asked her eldest son to be thick-skinned and sell pears. If Jiang Shi found out and refused to buy them, she would come out and apologize to Jiang Shi.

She also prepared a lot of apologies, and even planned to slap herself in the ear, hard, or let Jiang slap her, or beat her up. As long as Jiang and her sons calmed down, forgave her, and accepted the pears from her family, she would not be afraid of how embarrassed she was or how much people talked about her in the back.

Now people from all directions were looking at her strangely. She felt ashamed but happy at the same time.

After Mrs. Zhao’s episode, the number of people selling pears continued to increase.

Even people from the neighboring village came to sell pears. They had heard the news in the past two days. They were close, just a few miles away, and everyone had found a way to make money. Who wouldn't want to get a piece of the pears? After all, they were wild pears from the mountains and they didn't cost any money.

Then, Jiang Lianzhu would also buy pears from the neighboring village as long as they were fresh and of good quality.

Soon we harvested several thousand kilograms.

Basically, they are sold in family units, with each family selling more than 100 kilograms.

However, unwelcome people appeared in the team again.

The two brothers, Wang Lao San and Wang Lao Er, were carrying over 200 kilograms of pears. They said to Da Bao and Er Bao with a chuckle, "Nephew, nephew, we're here to sell you pears. You don't have to pay a high price for us. Just give us the same ones as theirs. Your second and third uncles took a lot of effort to pick so many. They almost got heatstroke in this hot weather."

The scene was completely quiet!

In the past few days, everyone has seen the Wang family and Jiang Lianzhu have so many fights, and the incident with Mrs. Zhao just now also happened before. How dare they come to sell pears?

Jiang Lianzhu refused directly, "I won't accept Old Wang's pears. Take them away and don't block the way for the people behind you."

Wang Laosan said shamelessly, "Fifth sister-in-law, how can you say that? We are a family. How can we accept pears from outsiders when we don't accept pears from our own family members?"

Wang Lao Er also said, "That's right, we are not here to ask you for money. Of course, you should be filial to your parents with the money you earn. We don't care about these things. It depends on your intention. We are here to sell pears. We earn some money through our own labor. Why don't you accept it? Fifth sister-in-law, you should not forget your roots."

The two of them talked back and forth, and both of them thought what they said made a lot of sense.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't want to waste time talking to them. "You came to my house yesterday and asked a witch to control me, saying that I was possessed by a water spirit. You still wanted to tie me up and control me. Today, you are calling me the fifth brother's wife? You are so shameless! What? Hasn't the village head kicked you out of Wangjia Village yet? You still want to come here to cause trouble?"
