After seeing Gu Shouxin off, the mother and her two daughters began picking chili peppers.
Gu Nian only wanted red, so she had Cai Xiaolian and Gu Xin separate all the different colors.
"Mom, do you think we should find some other seeds and plant them in the ground later, and see if they've grown overnight? Oh, and let's also mix some cucumber leaves for the chickens to eat later, and see if they lay a couple more eggs this afternoon," Gu Nian suggested.
“If it’s related to the soil, then any leaves will do. Why don’t we feed it radish leaves? We have so many radish leaves; it would be a shame to let them go bad,” Cai Xiaolian said.
"Mom, sister, let's feed the pigs with cucumber leaves! I'll take the radish leaves to Grandma's later; they fed them to the pigs. Grandpa gives us a piece of meat every year!" Gu Xin thought of the old house.
"Okay." Cai Xiaolian thought that would work too.
It wasn't that she and Gu Xin didn't care about their elders; it was just that they didn't dare to wander around the old house now. Moreover, in Cai Xiaolian's memory, Grandma Gu was a bit fierce, and her sister-in-law was a bit gossipy and annoying. Whenever they ate at the old house during holidays, they would definitely quarrel.
"Knock knock knock!" Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The mother and her two daughters paused in their movements. Gu Xin panicked a little, afraid that others would come and see their vegetable garden.
"You guys keep picking, I'll go!" As an adult, Cai Xiaolian was more composed than the two children. She clapped her hands and headed for the door.
"Cai Xiaolian, open the door! I brought you something, don't let me throw it away!" It was Zhang, Gu Shouli's wife, knocking on the door.
"Oh no, Auntie's here. If she finds out how powerful our land is, the whole village will know by this afternoon." Gu Xin panicked even more when she heard the voice.
"Don't be afraid, Mother won't let her see. Let's pick them quickly!" Gu Nian comforted her.
"Oh, it's sister-in-law. What's up?" Cai Xiaolian opened the door and asked with a sour face.
In her memory, the original owner never had a friendly relationship with Zhang.
"Cai Xiaolian, what do you mean by this with the second son?" Zhang, heavily pregnant and carrying a small cloth bag, questioned Cai Xiaolian as soon as she saw her.
"Are you out of your mind? What are you sending me? Give it to me!" Cai Xiaolian was baffled.
"Pah! You shameless bastard, just like Gu Lao Er, you have no backbone. You owe money and can't pay it back, what, you're thinking of going to school to cheat your parents out of money? Let me tell you, Cai Xiaolian, you've already been separated from the family! Everything in the Gu family belongs to my son Gu En and the son in your belly. You second branch won't get anything! You can't get away with this..."
"Bang!"
Before anyone could finish speaking, Cai Xiaolian slammed the door shut, finding Zhang Shi's behavior inexplicable.
If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, she would have wanted to yell back at her!
"Bang bang bang!"
“Cai Xiaolian, stop pretending! Feeling guilty now! You old hen that can’t have a son or lay eggs, let me tell you, everything in the Gu family belongs to my son, and you won’t get a single penny. Gu Shouxin needs to pay off his debts, don’t you have two daughters? Use them to pay off his debts! Gu Nian is so grown up, she’s worth fifty taels now! Gu Xin is so little, she looks like she’ll die young, sell her to someone as a maid…”
"Shut up!"
Cai Xiaolian couldn't stand it anymore; how could all these women be so alike?
"Ouch!"
Cai Xiaolian had just opened the door and uttered two words when she saw Zhang clutching her stomach, looking like she was in pain.
Cai Xiaolian: "..."
I haven't even started cursing yet!
You're such a show-off!
