Wang Yanmei took out the newly bought gloves and bamboo basket from the trunk.

The aunts stopped chatting and put on gloves to get ready to work.

Wang Yanmei told everyone in advance how to pick bayberries, and reminded them to only pick the good, red, large ones, and to pick them one by one and put them away carefully so as not to damage them. The damaged ones could be thrown directly on the ground, and the chickens and ducks on the ground could also eat them.

A dozen people went to the back mountain to pick bayberries.

There were so many people today that Wang Yanmei didn't let Xu Qingzhi pick the fruits, saying that her skin was tender and mosquitoes loved to bite people with delicate skin and tender flesh. The mosquitoes on the mountain were poisonous and a bite would leave a bump that would itch for a long time.

Xu Qingzhi didn't go and prepared dinner at home in advance.

After preparing the food, she walked out and lay comfortably on the recliner.

Wen Shanshan's face turned into a pufferfish shape due to anger, and her whole face showed unhappiness.

"Are you angry?" Xu Qingzhi asked.

"Yeah, very angry." Wen Shanshan said in a muffled voice.

Xu Qingzhi: "What are you angry about?"

Wen Shanshan: "That man is a domestic abuser, so is there no one to stop him? How pitiful the girl is, her parents don't love her, and the man she married is still a bad man, a domestic abuser."

Xu Qingzhi tilted his head to look at the sunset in the sky, and said calmly: "There is a neighbor close to my old house. The old generation used to be a landlord. For well-known reasons, they have been very poor. The son is a hard-working person. He was the only college student in our village at that time who went to a key university. He is also a programmer and has a high salary. Everyone thinks that his family has finally made it and can live a good life. Many people came to propose marriage. The next year, his son got sick and became blind. He could only ask someone to find a blind massage shop in the county to give massages. The salary was 2,500 yuan. The person he had been engaged to also ran away, and finally found a woman with burns all over her body. They gave birth to their second child last year. Grandpa and grandma take care of the two children. When grandpa and grandma pass away, it will probably be his sister who takes care of them."

"Oh, it's so tragic. I finally graduated, but ended up going blind." Wen Shanshan frowned.

"Maybe it's miserable for us." Xu Qingzhi always remembered that she was sitting at the door of the old house, counting ants out of boredom. When she looked up, she saw the brother's hand on his wife's shoulder. The two were walking slowly on the road, with the setting sun shining on them.

They were talking, Xiao Qingzhi couldn't hear clearly, but he could see that they were laughing at the same time, probably talking about something interesting.

In the past, Xiao Qingzhi didn't like that woman. She thought she looked too scary and like a monster. Every time he saw her, he would hide in the house in fear.

From that day on, she was no longer afraid.

Wen Shanshan frowned and tried to argue: "Qingzhi, but these two things are different."

"I didn't say the same thing." Xu Qingzhi rubbed his eyes, "I just suddenly remembered it and was just chatting with you."

Wen Shanshan: “…”

Wen Shanshan: "I thought you were going to tell me some truths like my brother."

Xu Qingzhi: "What did your brother say?"

Wen Siran coughed twice.

Wen Shanshan pretended not to hear.

"He said there are many pitiful people in this world. If I were to be so angry with everyone, I would be overwhelmed. He also said that I was so angry that I might not want a divorce at all, and I don't think domestic violence is a big deal." Wen Shanshan curled her lips. "These are all the things my brother just scolded me for. Qingzhi, do you think he is right?"

Xu Qingzhi: "It's hard for me to say. I'm not the standard for judging right and wrong. It's just that I don't like these principles. I just like to grow vegetables, raise chickens and ducks, and live a leisurely life."

Wen Shanshan: “…”

She couldn't find a sense of recognition here, and she felt really unhappy, so she opened WeChat and started chatting with her bestie, and together they complained about the domestic violence man!

After the sun sets behind the mountain, the people picking bayberries also return.

Packing so many bayberries is a big project, but fortunately there are many people and the weighing and packing can be done quickly.

Extra bayberries will be put in each box to prevent them from losing moisture and weighing less.

An auntie asked curiously, "Hey, Yanmei, where are you going to sell your bayberries? And they are packaged in such a beautiful way."

Wang Yanmei said truthfully: "I sell it online."

After all, if I ask someone to pick vegetables in the future, I won’t be able to hide it.

The aunt continued to ask: "I see this box is filled with 10 kilograms, how much is it? I think your bayberries are delicious, I want to buy a box too."

Wang Yanmei couldn't say that her bayberries cost several hundred yuan per pound. Even if it was true, people might still think that she said that on purpose because she didn't want to sell them to her.

She smiled and said, "If you like to eat them, I'll pack some for you to take back later. But I can't pack much, so don't be surprised. These bayberries have been reserved by others, so they belong to other people."

As a result, other aunts who wanted to buy it gave up the idea.

The aunts would not be angry, because they knew that the bayberries were meant to be sold, and since they had all been sold, they could just take some back home to try.

Some aunties politely said, "No, no."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work today." Wang Yanmei said with a smile, her mouth never closing.

Today, the bayberries were sold at a good price, and the debt owed to her second sister-in-law was also paid off. She was so happy.

She would discuss it with Fuqiang in the evening and then settle some of the other people's accounts.

After packing the bayberries, the aunts received their wages and left, rushing home to cook.

It was almost evening.

The temperature has dropped now.

Xu Fuqiang said: "This day is really strange. I saw the weather forecast says it will be cloudy for several days in a row and the temperature has dropped. This time of year is the hottest time of the year."

The courier came, Xu Qingzhi placed the order, and the courier drove away in a big truck.

Xu Qingzhi sneezed.

Wang Yanmei frowned and warned like an old mother: "Qingzhi, it's cold now, go back to the house and put on a coat, don't catch a cold."

"Mom, no. It's summer now, how could I catch a cold?" Xu Qingzhi felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable, so he went to lie down on the recliner under the persimmon tree.

"Qingzhi, it's not okay for you to lie under the tree wearing so little." Seeing that her daughter didn't move, Wang Yanmei had to go into the house and get her own thin coat to cover her.

Xu Qingzhi closed his eyes and took a rest. He had just pinched some magic words to ensure that there would be no problems with the transportation of the too many bayberries.

The spiritual energy in my body is exhausted, so I feel a little uncomfortable.

Doing so would help increase her spiritual energy capacity, but the side effect was brief physical discomfort, which would sometimes only last a few minutes and sometimes take a few days.
