"What are you so proud of? Isn't it just a barren mountain? The mountain is full of grass, there's no way she can grow anything!"

Chen Dacui looked at Li Aizhen's leaving back, turned around and spat.

But the others did not stay with her, but ran back to their own homes. The New Year was coming soon, and they had to prepare enough firewood.

Now that this firewood mountain is gone, people will have to go to a farther mountain to chop firewood.

So in order to have more firewood, they didn't want to offend Li Aizhen...

A week later, Qiao Zhixia officially closed the mountain to the public and spread the news that the mountain was sprayed with toxic herbicides, and anyone who entered the mountain without permission would suffer the consequences of poisoning.

Some "red-eye patients" began to sneer with disdain after learning about it.

"The grass on the mountain has become spirits. What herbicide can kill them?"

"Why else do you say that the girl is a money loser? The grass in the mountains can't be easily removed, so how can it be her turn to contract it?" Chen Dacui started to act weird again.

Some people who don't like Chen Dacui also complained, "What's the matter? If it's not Xiao Qiao's turn, how can it be your Chen family's turn?"

Chen Dacui's triangular eyes slanted, "What's wrong with my Chen family? My nephew is the first millionaire in the village. Can you envy him?"

"Tsk~ What does it have to do with you that your nephew is a millionaire? His whole family is living in the city and enjoying the best food and drink, but you have even a sip of soup to drink? Are you trying to flatter yourself?"

Chen Dacui couldn't hold back her anger, but she still said, "You...you know nothing! My nephew always treats me well during festivals. Isn't he more glorious than you?"

"Chen Dazui, stop bragging. My son came back from the county a few days ago and said he saw your nephew's store had been sold. Who knows how long he will stay in the city? Maybe he will come back soon and work with us."

"Is this true? I heard from the fortune teller Liu that Xiao Qiao is a lucky girl who can help her husband. I'm afraid that the Chen family will not be able to have a happy marriage without Xiao Qiao, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense. We in the Chen family don't want that bastard from the Qiao family..." Chen Dacui was furious, but no one wanted to pay attention to her.

Two days later, the villagers were shocked to find that all the weeds on the barren hill had withered and rotted within two days.

The hilltop that was originally covered with weeds revealed its true appearance.

Qiao Xinguo discovered that the weeds and their roots deep in the ground had rotted, so they would not grow again in the spring of the following year.

"Zhizhi, the herbicide you mentioned is really powerful. However, after spraying it on a small area, the grass was like infected with an infectious disease. It was all gone in two days." Li Qianhua was also amazed.

Those villagers in the village who were waiting to see Qiao Zhixia's excitement all shut up in disappointment.

Chen Dacui's face turned black with anger, and she ran home angrily and scolded her daughter-in-law.

On the other side, in the yard of Qiao's house, old man Qiao drank two taels of wine and suddenly felt better again.

He scolded Qiao Xinguo and Qiao Zhixia, scolding them for being unfilial and cunning.

"No wonder they didn't want a penny when the family was divided. It turns out they kept a large sum of money for themselves." The old lady sat on the bench and self-righteously accused Qiao Xinguo and his gang of being scheming.

"I think the couple's claim of being ill is fake. Qiao Xinguo has been on the mountain cutting trees these days. He looks so energetic. How can he be ill?"

"Li Aizhen, the old hen that can't lay eggs, takes that little loser for a stroll all day long. She looks healthy. I'm afraid she'll live longer than a turtle."

"But where did she get so much money? The Chen family is not that generous." Qiao Lao San couldn't figure it out.

"Haven't you heard that Qiao Zhixia is selling outside? That's probably how she made the money." Aunt Qiao smacked her lips.

"What? Is her skirt embellished with gold? So cheap?" Qiao Lao San said half shocked and half joking.

"I don't care whether she sells it or not, the money has to be given to me anyway." Old man Qiao said viciously.

The more they analyzed, the uglier their faces became, as if they were angry at being cheated.

"Dad, let's find the village secretary to divide the family property again. They must give us half of the mountain they own." Qiao Lao San said contentedly.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The old family has no son, so no matter how much money that bastard makes, won't all our treasures belong to us in the end?" Old man Qiao burped, looking like he had everything planned out.

"But if she gets married and has a bastard...wouldn't we leave the family property to her offspring?" Qiao Lao San still refused to give up.

Old man Qiao narrowed his greedy eyes and began to think seriously: "Then let's ruin her reputation, make it impossible for her to get married, and let her be a workhorse for our Qiao family for the rest of her life..."

Qiao Zhixia now secretly plants some new vegetables every night and stores them in the space. Today she decides to experiment with fruit tree seedlings.

She had planted several orange trees, tangerine trees, and apple trees in the mountain she contracted in advance.

The orange trees were planted together, and the apple trees were planted elsewhere.

After she watered a dozen or so fruit trees with spiritual spring water, she sat beside the tree and waited.

The growth cycle of fruit trees is longer than that of vegetables, so it will not take a short time.

But just as she was about to take a nap, she discovered that the trunk of the fruit tree had grown visibly stronger. She watched in amazement as the fruit tree stretched out its branches and leaves, and blossomed and bore fruit right before her eyes...

Ten minutes later, the orange trees were full of ripe fruits.

She picked one as well. The orange peel was thin, but after peeling it open, each segment was full of juice.

I put it in my mouth and chewed it for two seconds. The sweet and refreshing taste with just the right sour taste seemed to wake up every sleepy cell.

I tried the orange again. It's sweeter than tangerine and equally juicy. The plump fruit burst between the lips and teeth, and it's chewy and sweet without being greasy.

In comparison, tangerines have a hint of acidity, while oranges are purely sweet, but the taste is both amazing.

She ran to the other side and looked at five apple trees. Each of the big, round red apples glowed alluringly under the light of the flashlight.

She picked up a low one at random, wiped it casually, and put it into her mouth.

"Crack~" Crisp and sweet, moderately sweet and sour. The unique sweetness of apple spreads from the mouth to the nose, and the whole person is surrounded by a refreshing and pleasant feeling.

This is truly the most delicious apple she has ever eaten, bar none…

After quickly harvesting with my mind, I went home to sleep. Tomorrow I would go to the market to buy fruit tree seedlings and sell some of the vegetables in the space warehouse.

[Detected that the host harvested 1,000 kilograms of apples, 3,800 kilograms of oranges, and 3,600 kilograms of tangerines. Increase points by 1,100 and increase physical strength by 11 points. ]

When Qiao Zhixia heard that her physical strength continued to increase, she felt uneasy.

Her strength was already strong enough, and if it increased any further, she was afraid she would turn into a monster.

[Host, the upper limit of the physical strength is 100. Currently, the host is close to the upper limit. After reaching it, a new agility value will be added. ]

Qiao Zhixia listened to the system and let it go. Although having great strength is a good thing, there must be a limit to doing things. Once it exceeds that limit, it will cause trouble.

The next morning, Li Qianhua was responsible for loading the goods to be sent to the county town, and then he and Qiao Xinguo worked together to process the wood that had been cut down from the mountains.

Qiao Xinguo originally planned to sell the ten tons of wood to the lumber mill, but Qiao Zhixia disagreed. She planned to demolish the old house and rebuild it next year, so she kept the wood for building the house, and would sell the extra wood after the house was renovated.

Qiao Zhixia followed the delivery truck to the county town to visit Qiao Chudong first, and then set off for the city.

Since the store opened, the average daily turnover has remained around 1,000 yuan.

In the current economic situation, this turnover is far beyond the reach of many peers.

But Qiao Zhixia's goal is far more than this.

She plans to set up sales outlets in markets in several counties before the Chinese New Year.

Not long after the car drove out of the village, Qiao Zhixia was chatting with the driver while looking out the window. Suddenly, she saw a staggering woman walking towards the river...
