Wang Yanmei sighed and said, "Qingzhi, don't say that. After all, she is your second aunt. Don't let your father hear this. He is already angry now."
In the past, Xu Qingzhi had a bit of inferiority complex because his second aunt said he was an uneducated child who gossiped all kinds of things and was inexplicably disliked by some relatives. It was only after he went to college and gradually moved away from home that he felt better.
In the past, Xu Qingzhi had been working hard in the provincial capital and only came back once a year because he didn't want to face the gossip of relatives.
But Xu Qingzhi is different now. She has lived for more than 500 years and has tempered her mind in the world of immortal cultivation.
My current attitude is, I don’t care whether others like it or not.
She grumbled, "The vegetables I grow are so delicious, I don't want to give them to her. I would rather give them to pigs than to her."
"You, you, where did the pig come from in our family? Just treat her as a pig." Wang Yanmei was desperate.
Xu Qingzhi burst out laughing, "Mom, you have such a vicious tongue."
Wang Yanmei snorted twice. Rules and education were one thing, but her heart was definitely on her man's side. "You don't know, your second aunt's words are harsh to begin with, and today there are only people working there. Your second aunt started by making indirect accusations at others, and your dad got angry and said a few words. Then your second aunt said that our family has enough money to buy a BMW, and they borrowed so much money and didn't pay it back. Your dad is a fool, and he didn't say a word when your second aunt pointed at his nose and scolded him for a long time. If your second aunt hadn't put the blame on you in the end and said some unpleasant words, your dad wouldn't have quarreled with her."
"Mom, I have money, use it to pay off the family debts." Xu Qingzhi really didn't care about the money. Money was something outside of her body and was easily available to her. A ginseng she took out from the space would be worth six figures or more.
If her parents were patriarchal, Xu Qingzhi would not have returned to her hometown to retire, but would have found another comfortable place to live.
But in her family, her parents are on her side, and her brother is the pitiful one.
In fact, her family made a lot of money from selling vegetables. She found growing vegetables fun and easy, but the newly opened three acres of land were opened up by her parents with hoes, and her father usually picked more vegetables.
Wang Yanmei's face turned serious when she heard this: "That won't work. You can keep the money you earn yourself. The bayberries behind our house are bearing fruit. One tree should have at least 300 kilograms, and 200 trees should have 6,000 kilograms. Even if it's 4 yuan per kilogram, we can make more than 20,000 yuan. Last time, your aunt transferred 100,000 yuan to me, and I paid back 80,000 yuan to your second uncle's family a few days ago. When the bayberry money comes, I will pay back the remaining 20,000 yuan with interest. We agreed to pay it back at the end of next year, but your second aunt said something unpleasant, so I paid her back in advance to avoid hearing her say that about your father next time."
Xu Qingzhi then realized that when her father borrowed money from her brother, he also calculated the interest and agreed on a time to pay it back.
It's just that her second aunt acted like a spoiled child in front of others, thinking she was superior because she borrowed money, and gossiped everywhere.
She knew her second aunt's character well. She simply couldn't stand seeing others doing well.
Xu Qingzhi entered the entertainment industry when she was in college. She was discovered by a scout and played the third female role in a drama.
When he came back for the New Year that year, his second aunt was not very happy. After all, her daughter was still studying in college and spending the family's money, while Xu Qingzhi did not spend the family's money and already had more than 100,000 yuan in his pocket.
Xu Qingzhi couldn't understand why his father's generation of relatives were like this.
Grandma gave birth to five children in total: uncle, aunt, second uncle, and aunt. Her father was the youngest child.
My eldest aunt died when she was a child.
My uncle is the village secretary and also runs a tofu business. We basically don't interact with each other unless there is nothing to do. My aunt's attitude is also rather cold and we only maintain a superficial relationship.
Xu Qingzhi didn't have any feelings towards his uncle's family at first, but before his grandmother passed away, his aunt did something that left Xu Qingzhi with a knot in her heart.
My second uncle runs a clinic in the village. He’s a bit serious, but not a bad person, otherwise he wouldn’t have lent the money. My second aunt is a nagging person and likes to talk to everyone she meets.
Second aunt hates Xu Qingzhi, and Xu Qingzhi also hates her.
My sister-in-law married not far away, in the next village, outside the gate of the primary school where Xu Qingzhi studied. She had no money to build a new house, so she still lived in the old house. The people there were much kinder. We didn't interact much, but we were comfortable getting along.
So after Xu Qingzhi came back, he had no intention of moving around at all.
It would be nice for her to just live her own leisurely life and not get involved in any unlucky things.
If it weren't for the quarrel between her second aunt and her father this time, Xu Qingzhi would have spent five hundred years in the world of immortal cultivation and would have completely forgotten that there was such a person as her.
In fact, Xu Qingzhi also understood her parents' situation.
She has very good ears, but the only downside is that she always hears some rumors.
Her parents had been in debt for years because of her grandfather's illness. But now her family has bought a car, and her parents don't work as laborers anymore, and they even hired people to pick vegetables for them.
The rumors were very unpleasant. At the mildest level, they said that the Xu family had enough money to enjoy themselves, but no money to pay off their debts, and that they only cared about themselves. At the worst level, they said that they didn't know what dirty deeds Xu Qingzhi had done to earn so much money, and that his acting career didn't make much of a splash, and that selling vegetables could only bring him so little money.
Xu Qingzhi understood her father. If the other party had not said something really unpleasant, her father would not have said a word.
Maybe her second aunt said some unpleasant words to her today, which is why her father, who is usually good-tempered, started quarreling with a woman.
Xu Qingzhi knew clearly that her parents were unwilling to spend her money. So, she had originally thought of watering the bayberries with some spiritual spring water to prevent her mother from giving her sour bayberries again.
Later, seeing that my parents were not doing well financially, I boldly let the two little ones water the trees every day, so that all 200 trees grew fruits.
This fruit is definitely not the bayberry that costs four yuan per pound.
She originally wanted to be lazy and let her parents deal with it as they pleased. But now it seems that she should not be lazy anymore and find a way to sell it, at least so that her parents can stand up straight and not be scolded by others.
Xu Qingzhi was just thinking about it when Wang Yanmei's cell phone rang.
"Good luck, good luck to you~"
Wang Yanmei answered the phone, "Third Aunt."
"Yanmei, I received the eggs, bayberries, and water spinach you sent me. The eggs and water spinach taste as good as always, and the bayberries are also very delicious."
"Aunt, as long as you like it, it's fine. I also got the scarf you sent me. I took a look at it yesterday. The scarf is made of very good material, comfortable and thin to wear, and looks good too."
"That's good, that's good. By the way, is Qingzhi here?"
Wang Yanmei looked at Xu Qingzhi in confusion, then responded, "Yes, what's the matter, Third Aunt?"
"Is Qingzhi not playing with her phone? Everyone is urging her to sell bayberries quickly. Talk to her and don't make everyone wait anxiously."
"Yangmei? Isn't that a group selling vegetables?" Wang Yanmei asked curiously.
The third aunt then told the story of how delicious bayberries she had tasted today, how her daughter-in-law had posted photos of bayberries in the group, and how she had organized an offline bayberry tasting event. She then said, "Those who want to buy have already transferred money to Qingzhi to make reservations. The price is 200 yuan per pound for vegetables. You decide what price you want to set for your bayberries. If the money is short, they will make up for it."
Wang Yanmei almost lost her balance, and leaned on the stove next to her to hold on. She said in disbelief, "What? Bayberries... also cost 200 yuan a pound?!"
