Chapter 17 The Best Neighbor



Just sit down. What's wrong with letting your man push you?

Lin Qingqing sat cross-legged, her face facing Zhou Zhuo, as beautiful as a peach blossom.

Zhou Zhuo smiled foolishly: "Wife, sit tight, I'm going to fly!"

Lin Qingqing hurriedly stretched out her hands to grab the side of the car. When Zhou Zhuo saw his wife holding on, he ran with his long legs.

"Ah! Ah!" It was the first time for Lin Qingqing to ride on this kind of rickshaw. It was fast and exciting, and she screamed excitedly.

The two of them quarreled all the way and soon arrived at Lijiazhuang.

Yesterday, Mrs. Li had brought a few women from the same village to wait under the pear tree. When they saw them coming, the women came over.

Lin Qingqing saw six or seven women and estimated that they could harvest at least three or four hundred pears today.

"Sisters-in-law, do you have any unwanted pears at home?"

"Yes, I've picked them up, just waiting for you to pull them!"

“My family too!”

Another woman, who called herself Ma's wife, asked, "I don't have any pears at home, but I have cantaloupes. Do you want some?"

"Yes, I want them all!" Cantaloupe can also make money, why would she block his way to wealth.

Lin Qingqing and Zhou Zhuo pushed the cart and went to each house to pick up pears. The four large baskets they brought with them when they came were all full. This time they returned with a full load again, and they also collected more than ten kilograms of melons.

In the countryside, these things would rot in the fields. Lin Qingqing gave them each a dime, which was not a small amount, enough to exchange for five boxes of matches. The women felt that they had gotten a bargain.

Lin Qingqing gave the melon seller two cents. After all, his melons were ripe, and he just wanted to exchange them for some money to buy soy sauce.

The other women had no objections. Before leaving, Lin Qingqing secretly gave Sister Li two cantaloupes. Sister Li felt embarrassed, but Lin Qingqing said it was her introduction fee, and Sister Li accepted it calmly.

On the way back, Zhou Zhuo pulled in front and Lin Qingqing pushed in the back. Zhou Zhuo was very strong, so she didn't have to put in much effort to get home.

Seeing that they had collected so many pears, Xue Guixiang hurriedly helped unload them into the kitchen to cook. There were a hundred pears in a basket, and four baskets of pears meant four hundred pears, which required several pots of cooking.

Lin Qingqing brought some firewood to make a fire, but Xue Guixiang forced her to go inside to rest.

There has been a lot of movement in the Zhou family these two days, and the neighbors had noticed it early on. As soon as the last pot was cooked, Liu Cuiling from next door came to visit with her five-year-old son Gousheng.

"Hey, what are you busy with, sister-in-law?"

Xue Guixiang, who could not lie, told the story of her daughter-in-law collecting pears: "Isn't this a debt my family owes Uncle Du? My daughter-in-law is thinking of collecting some pears to make some money, and I'm helping her."

The little boy Gousheng was drooling at the sweet smell of the pear.

As soon as Xue Guixiang finished speaking, Gousheng broke free from her mother's hand, ran quickly to the basket, took a pear, and ate it in two or three bites.

Gousheng moved very quickly and Xue Guixiang didn't have time to stop him.

When he finished one and reached for the second one, Xue Guixiang finally reacted: "Gousheng, stop eating. These pears are for sale."

Gousheng retracted his outstretched hand, ran to his mother, hugged her legs and started rolling around, "I want to eat pears, I want to eat pears!"

Liu Cuiling was very shameless: "Sister-in-law, the child is hungry, just give him one to satisfy his craving."

"It's not that I don't want to give them to you, but these pears were collected by my daughter-in-law with great effort. I'm just helping her and can't make the decision."

"It's just a pear, and it's not worth a lot of money. What's the big deal?"
