Chapter 70 Monopoly

(Girls' Literature)

Su Zhi was silent at first when she saw Shen Zian glaring at her, but now seeing Shen Zian pulling Su Zhi away, she became angry again. However, she did not dare to chase after Shen Zian and his wife. She turned around and started crying to her parents-in-law.

"Dad, Mom, look at this, look at this! My fourth brother's wife is cursing me! This red sour fruit is a favorite of pregnant women, but how come it becomes poison when I want to eat a few of them? She just doesn't want to give it to me, so she wants to curse me! Dad, Mom, you have to give me some judgment!"

Li's relationship with Su Zhi has been getting better and better these days. She is angry that Sanlang hurt Chunyue. Hearing her nonsense, she said, "Fourth sister-in-law is kind enough to tell you, how can you say she cursed you? If you are not afraid, eat it. Don't blame Fourth sister-in-law for not telling you then! Have you ever seen someone come to inform in advance if they want to harm someone? If your Erlang wants this sour red fruit, just tell him directly. Why did he rush up and grab it for no reason? Otherwise, will my Yue'er get hurt?"

Sun was annoyed when she heard this. Although Li was her sister-in-law, she was usually gentle and silent. She treated Li as a soft persimmon. Now seeing Li scolding her, she immediately refused to agree.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Are you cursing me with that unlucky star? I get it. You can't give birth to a son, so you're jealous of me. You wish my son would die! You're such a black-hearted person!"

Li's face turned pale, she turned around and went back to the house!

Although Sun said she won over Li, she lowered her head when she saw Shen Zigui's sullen face, wondering why that damn guy in her family was not here. If he was here, they wouldn't have quarreled so unhappily!

"Alright, alright. Are you really going to do this for a basket of worthless and unpalatable wild fruits? Go back to your rooms and reflect on your actions!"

Shen Zhang saw Shen Zigui still glaring at Sun, and then looked at all the people watching the excitement. She thought that nothing could happen again, so she finally came over to mediate.

"Chunhua, Sanlang, help your mother back home! Zi Fu and Zi Gui, the eldest daughter-in-law. Go and do what you need to do. Everyone, please go away!"

Chunhua had just been pushed by Sun and fell. She got up, but it was a little painful. She didn't dare to say anything. When she heard what the old lady said, she immediately came over to help Sun. She was afraid that Sun would push her again, but fortunately she didn't. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun went back to the house like a hen that had won a fight. Sanlang followed behind her, carrying the basket of sour fruits. Silang picked up two sour fruits that had fallen on the ground and ran in as well.

Shen Zifu patted Shen Zigui on the shoulder and told him to go back to the house to see his wife. Shen Zigui lowered his head and went back to the house. Shen Zifu and Wang Shi saw the people out to see off the crowd.

Shen Zhu watched as everyone finally left, frowning and saying, "How come this fourth sister-in-law can still cause trouble in our house after she was separated from us? It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that she is a jinx, but she is really a troublemaker."

Shen Ziju said calmly: "Third sister-in-law is the troublemaker."

Shen Zhu glanced at her brother and pouted, "Brother, don't you think that Fourth Sister-in-law is a troublemaker? As soon as she married into our family, she made our family a laughing stock. She also spent a lot of money and finally separated Fourth Brother from us. But they made a lot of money as soon as they separated us from us. Now our family has become a laughing stock again. This is all her fault. Brother, if you don't think she is a troublemaker, what is she?"

Shen Ziju patted Shen Zhu on the head and said, "She is our fourth sister-in-law, so you should be more polite when speaking to her. A harmonious family is the root of all prosperity. Having a third sister-in-law in our family is already a mess."

Shen Zhu pouted again. Suddenly, she said, "Brother, what Sister-in-law said about pregnant women not eating too much red sour fruit, is that true?"

Shen Ziju pondered for a moment and said nothing. He didn't know either, but it had nothing to do with him. He turned around and went back to his room to read.

Shen Zhu watched her brother leave. She wondered if the sour fruit was really as Su Zhi said. She wondered if she would dare to eat it when she thought about how Sun had put all the sour fruit into the room. But she didn't say anything to her parents. She wished Sun would not have any more children. A bunch of children at home, making noises all day long, was really annoying. And more people meant more consumption. They had to eat and wear clothes. If she saved all the money, how much gold and silver jewelry could she buy for herself!

Su Zhi and Shen Zian went out of the door and not far away, they were surrounded by people again.

Dazhu's wife took Su Zhi's hand and said affectionately, "Zi'an's wife, you really know a lot and have a good heart. Ziping's wife bullied you so much and you still came to advise her. You are such a good person! My sister-in-law likes to associate with people like you. We should visit each other more often in the future."

Su Zhi wondered if this person had something wrong. The smile on her face was really ugly, but she didn't want to hit someone who smiled, so Su Zhi smiled at her and then pulled her hand back.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Sun is my sister-in-law. She is pregnant with my and my husband's nephew, so of course I have to remind her. Sister-in-law, you are praising me so much that I am almost blushing. Sister-in-law, if you have nothing else to do, we will leave. We are still busy at home!"

"Hey - don't go, something's up, something's up!" Dazhu's wife hurriedly stopped Su Zhi and said, "Sister, I heard from Sanlang that you picked all the red and sour fruits? Those wild fruits are not delicious, and even if you like them, you can't eat so much, right? What's the use of you? Tell us so that we can learn from you."

"Yes, tell us!"

Some people nearby joined in the fun, they were also curious!

Su Zhi knew that Dazhu's wife wanted to ask this. She had asked this in the yard just now, but she was ignored. She was really thick-skinned and came after him again. In fact, it was okay to tell others that she was going to make delicious food, because no one knew what she was going to do anyway. But she just didn't want to tell Dazhu's wife!

"Don't you think it's not delicious, but it looks pretty? It's red and looks like a little lantern."

Su Zhi rolled her eyes and spoke to the people who were listening attentively to hear the answer.

Dazhu's wife nodded and said, "Yes, they are quite similar. So what?"

Su Zhi said: "I like lanterns, I just look at them for fun when I have nothing to do!"

When others heard Su Zhi say this, they all thought that Su Zhi, the new bride, was going to build a new house, and she wanted to put this thing on display! They didn't think about the food, and Su Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. When others asked her why she didn't tell the truth in the future, she would have a reason to deal with it. Anyway, she would wait until they made money in the future and let them understand it themselves. She didn't expect to monopolize the red and sour fruits, she just wanted to take the lead.

"Just for fun!"

Dazhu's wife was quite disappointed. There was a red sour fruit tree at the edge of her field. She had hoped to make some money from it, but she didn't expect it was just for show!

"Of course I don't just watch it for fun, I also love to eat it."

Su Zhi said with a smile that when she sold those foods, others would not be too surprised. She did not say that she ate wild fruits directly, so they could only say that they did not ask clearly.

When Dazhu's wife heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "There is a red sour fruit tree in my field. There are flowers hanging on the tree now. They look really nice. Do you want some?"

Su Zhi raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't need that much."

"Girl, you can keep this fruit. You can eat it until next year! If you really can't, string them together and use them as curtains. They will look so beautiful!"

Su Zhi thought to herself, this person is really good at talking. Who would spend money to buy this thing to save for spring? For seeds? And to string curtains? It's really just a curtain for one season. It will rot in spring! But she wanted to harvest more sour fruits. No one likes to eat sour fruits in this era, so the things she wants to make are basically non-existent. It will definitely be easier for her to sell them. Making more can also make more money. She just rejected Dazhu's wife because she didn't want this person to think that she wanted it very much. This was a tactic of playing hard to get. It would be easy to bargain later.

"That's right, sister-in-law. Then take me to see your sour fruits so that I can decide on a price. You have to give me a discount!"

When Dazhu's wife heard that Su Zhi really wanted it, she was very happy and enthusiastically pulled Su Zhi towards her home.

When the others saw that Dazhu's wife actually sold the sour fruits to Shen Zian and his wife, they all looked at each other in surprise. They used to think that the sour fruits were useless, but now they all hated that they had no sour fruits at home.

Su Zhi, Shen Zian and Dazhu's wife walked towards the fields together, followed by a group of people. It was the farming season now, and apart from the women working at home and the men doing odd jobs, there was still a group of idle people.

When they got to the farm, in the green wheat field, Su Zhi saw a tree full of red fruits. She thought the fruits were good, and finally agreed with Dazhu's wife on the price of 15 kilograms for one cent, which could be said to be very cheap. However, in the eyes of others, it was a good deal to sell these inedible things for a profit.

Dazhu's wife helped pick all the fruits, and left happily with the money, still thinking in her heart that Su Zhi was really a fool.

Su Zhi looked at the hawthorns on the ground inside the house and smiled happily. She asked Shen Zian if there were any other places like these trees. Shen Zian had been hunting in Daqing Mountain all year round and said that there were only a few trees on that hillside and the one in Dazhu's land.

Su Zhi's eyes lit up. She had originally thought that she would take advantage of the situation and make a fortune. Next year, people would follow suit and she would not rush to make money. However, she did not expect that although hawthorn trees were not popular, they were so rare in this area. If there were many trees, she would really give up. But when she heard that there were few trees, her heart turned again.

"Zi'an, next spring, can you bring all these sour fruit trees home for me? I will use these fruits to make delicious food, and then we can sell them. If you don't bring the fruit trees home, someone else will make the money next year."

"The tree has grown quite big. If I could go back, it would damage its roots and it would be difficult for it to survive."

"It's okay. As long as one tree is alive, it counts. Scarcity makes things valuable!"

"Well, I'll get it back for you next spring."

Shen Zian thought that if his wife wanted it, he would get it back. He began to look forward to the delicious food made with red sour fruits that his wife mentioned. He thought that if his wife made it, it must be the most delicious food in the world. (
