“The chili pepper harvest outside the province is not good, and the demand is high. The local area cannot meet the demand, so they can only come to us to ask for prices,” Lu Wenqing explained patiently. “Your chili peppers are growing better. I estimate that if we bargain, we can get a price of 65 cents. If you agree, I will go and tell the boss right away.”
Master Lu and his son naturally agreed and readily agreed.
As soon as Lu Wenqing left, everyone was in an uproar.
"I never thought chili peppers would become such a rare commodity. I should have listened to Lu Wenqing's advice and switched to growing chili peppers. But my wife wouldn't have agreed, and now we've planted corn instead, which is a huge loss."

The third brother, Lu Mingzhi, added fuel to the fire, cursing, "Look at your pig-headed brain! You always say Qiaowa is stupid, but you're not even as good as a seven-year-old. If we just took an acre of land to grow chili peppers, our family would be rich."
It's Lu Siqiao again!
Huang Ling, from the second wife's family, looked at the green figure in the chili field with a gloomy expression.
