With such a commotion outside, who else could it be?
It's estimated that Mr. and Mrs. Mo and Mr. Mo's parents have returned by now.
Su Nanxi came out and saw that it was indeed true!
It looks like Old Man Mo and his wife went to sell breakfast together; look at all the things they're carrying!
Sigh! How long will it take for Zhao to return? It's really inconvenient without an oxcart!
I've only ridden in an oxcart for a few days, but I've already gotten used to it! Without an oxcart, it would be so inconvenient to move so much stuff!
It's true that it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to simplicity!
It's not a good idea to have these two elderly people come with us every day!
As for Zhao's family, her father broke his leg and probably won't recover quickly, but they also need to take care of the family business.
They wouldn't let her use her donkey, probably because they were worried that she would need to go out and it would be inconvenient without it!
Sigh! How about we buy another cow?
In that instant, Su Nanxi thought of a whole bunch of things, and even planned to go see the cattle tomorrow and then buy a few more acres of land, since there were plenty of cattle to cultivate!
Li Yunmei's crying and screaming were so jarring that they instantly brought Su Su back to her senses.
So noisy!
That sounds awful!
This is simply a magical device designed to torture your ears!
Su Nanxi picked at her ear, losing patience. She walked over to the three burly men and said, "You all came together, so go back together! Take that person away! Go back to where you came from! Oh, and you're here to collect a debt? Go to her house! Her family is rich!"
With just these few words, Li Yunmei was taken away by three burly men.
"You dare to play tricks on me! You try to curry favor with anyone who has money, do you think you're worthy? Take me to your house right now, I'm going to collect the debt today! If you try anything again, I'll tear your house down! Don't think I don't know where you live, it's just a matter of a flick of my finger for me to find out!"
"I don't have the time or patience to wait for you. I'll give you three counts of time. If you can't roll it over by then, thirty taels will have ballooned to eighty taels!"
With her throat gripped, Li Yunmei dared not continue her tantrum. She immediately released her grip on Old Lady Mo's clothes, scrambled to her feet, and ran over!
She knew these people meant what they said; if thirty taels turned into eighty taels, she'd never be able to pay it back, even if she died! She'd definitely be skinned alive when she got back!
These people are not kind. If they really demolish her house, she will be homeless and won't even have a place to live!
The elderly couple sighed, their feelings complicated. They didn't say anything, turned around, and went through the gate.
Mr. and Mrs. Mo then went inside as well.
They didn't want to say anything more; they probably didn't want to pay any attention to them at all!
People with a screw loose love to run around everywhere!
Su Nanxi called Mo Dongcheng back. "What are you still looking at?"
Judging from the expressions of the Mo couple, they probably regretted raising such a thing in the first place!
"They're all of the same kind, so naturally they'll produce people like that!"
Grandma Mo suddenly sighed and remarked with emotion.
Su Nanxi overheard this from behind, her eyes darting around. Oh wow! So, Li Yunmei's mother is that kind of person too?
Then there's nothing unexpected!
After all, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and rats give birth to offspring that know how to dig holes!
Understanding is one thing, but tolerance is another!
Su Nanxi was no longer willing to tolerate this and had to teach the Li family a lesson so they wouldn't spend their days scheming against others!
Do you all think everyone else is stupid?!
Qin comforted Old Lady Mo for a few words, and Old Lady Mo herself was not one to dwell on things, so she quickly let it go.
Everyone has their own destiny!
Whether it was help that should have been given or not, we helped everyone, so there's no question of anyone owing anyone anything!
In any case, the Mo family has a clear conscience!
The Mo family children who went up the mountain returned quickly. Without Su Nanxi accompanying them, their harvest was meager, barely filling their baskets.
When Old Mo saw this, his heart sank a little more. The weather was getting hotter and drier, and the harvest would probably only decrease as time went on!
Perhaps a severe drought really is coming!
The Mo family's crops must be well cared for; they should be dried and stored away for future use.
Old Xu was the last to return, and as soon as he got back, he said excitedly, "Those corn plants have all flowered! No, they've all tasseled! They're so beautiful! I walked through all the cornfields, looking at each plant one by one, and every single one of them has buds and tassels! Oh, by the way! Ugly girl, what are those things in that bright red field over there? I heard you say before that they're called peppers?"
Su Nanxi, who had been called out, was pondering the question when she heard the name. Her mouth moved faster than her brain, and she blurted out, "That's a chili pepper!"
Old Xu nodded, "Ah, yes, yes! It's this pepper! I saw quite a few green ones before, but when I went to check this morning, a whole bunch of them turned red! I made a special trip to see them, and there's hardly any green left, they've mostly turned red! Wow! This thing is really interesting! It can even change color! Hey! And, Ugly Girl, what's that in that little patch of ground in the corner? It's all sorts of colors, quite pretty, and so cute!"
She knew the chilies were ready to be harvested, so naturally they were all bright red! As for the colorful little cuties, what are all those colorful things!
A rainbow?
Seeing that Su Nanxi couldn't remember what she had grown herself, Old Xu smugly hummed, "Look! These are them! I thought they looked so good, and guessed that they were quite big, so I picked a few to bring back!"
As he spoke, he took out a few fruits from his cloth bag.
Sure enough, when Old Man Xu saw that everyone in the Mo family had a cloth bag, which looked nice and was practical to wear, he clamored for one too!
So, Qin and Zhao worked through the night to make him a shoulder bag that matched Old Man Xu's style perfectly.
Old Xu especially liked it. He would hang it on his body every morning, and he would always stuff something inside. If there was nothing to stuff inside, he would stuff in a book, just to make it look nice!
At first, he called it a cloth bag, but after the Mo family children called it that too, he started calling it a shoulder bag!
Su Nanxi glanced at what he took out of his bag and knew immediately, "These are rainbow peppers! They have seven colors, they're very precious! You have to take good care of them, they'll fetch a good price later!"
Wow!
Upon hearing that it could fetch a good price, everyone present had their eyes light up!
Mo Jiarong stood on tiptoe to take a look and asked Su Nanxi, "Third Aunt, this little thing is so cute! How do we eat it?"
Su Nanxi was stumped by the question. All she knew was colorful pickled peppers, but since they were all peppers, they must be able to be stir-fried!
"It's delicious stir-fried with meat, and even more delicious when soaked! Oh dear! You wouldn't remember if I said too much, but you'll know how to cook it when it's harvested, right?"
Everyone responded with an "Oh," indicating their agreement.
They're not very bright, and they'll easily forget what we say. It's better to just wait and see what the mute girl does!
When Old Xu heard that there were many ways to eat these little creatures, his mouth watered. "Oh, I really want to take a bite. No, they're so small, one bite is all I can eat!"
The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Old Xu even forgot that he had a disciple to teach and answer his questions. His mind was full of colorful peppers!
The Mo family also began to pay more attention to chili peppers.
"Keep a close eye on the crops in the fields!"
