Chapter 414: Peace Asking
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Madam Kong knew that Ye Muyu had used the mountain pepper to make new food, what about it?
Madam Ye had made a lot of new food, but there were not many that were actually sold.
It was inevitable that the new food they made this time would be eaten by their own family and would not be sold. In this case, even if the mountain pepper tree were planted. Other than the trunk being worth some money years later. There was really no profit.
Therefore, she treated Ye Muyu planting the pepper tree as a joke and was not willing to spend money to buy it.
Madam Sun did not have much money at all.
The second branch’s usual harvest was from farming. This year, they had earned some from selling medicinal herbs. Now, they were all saved up to send their children to school. In this way, the family did not have much spare money.
Even if Madam Wang wanted to buy it, she was short of money.
After Madam Kong left, Madam Sun frowned and asked Madam Wang, “What did you say just now? Tell me.”
Madam Wang then told her what Chu Xueqin had said, as well as Chu An’s attitude.
“Sigh, you’ve worked hard. This matter is over. Our family doesn’t have much money. On normal days, it’s enough for food and clothing.”
“But when it comes to doing business, it’s never easy.”
“Since I can’t do business, I should just farm. I can earn some money from making Zhuge Locks.”
“You should get going too. Don’t worry about your fourth aunt.”
Madam Kong wanted face, how could Madam Sun not know? Since the other party said so confidently, his family must have earned money.
Unfortunately, other than the dowry of her second daughter-in-law, the family had always farmed for food and money. How could they save much money?
However, this was only compared to the Chu family.
In fact, in the village, the second branch had quite a lot of land.
At least they did not have to worry about food and clothing.
They just wanted to raise a scholar, so the cost was really quite high.
Only then would the second branch live a tight life.
Speaking of which…
In the end, Chu Xueqin bought the remaining twenty-five mountain pepper saplings.
Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “Madam said that if you still need to buy saplings, you can tell me during this period. If you need more, you can get someone to transport them again.”
The three of them nodded and agreed, but they did not say anything else. If they wanted to plant more, they would definitely have to discuss it with the whole family.
“Masters, Madam asked these short-term workers to help you plant your trees as well. Choose a piece of land as soon as possible and plant it as soon as possible to prevent the saplings from dying.”
“No need,” Chu An rejected immediately. “I can’t bring myself to trouble Sister-in-law.”
Chu An could not be blamed for refusing so quickly. When he saw the surprise in Chu Lin and Chu Xueqin’s eyes, he knew that he had been too polite. He felt a little helpless.
It could not be helped. His mother had offended Ye Muyu.
He just wanted to mend their relationship. He did not want Ye Muyu to have a
bad impression of him, so he did not want to take advantage of her. Speaking of which, he was afraid that he would offend Ye Muyu again.
Chu Lin and Chu Xueqin were much more natural.
Chu Lin said, “No need. I think Third Brother needs to plant a lot of them on this mountain. Ours is just a dozen. It’ll be done in an hour.”
“My family bought five stalks. I was planning to plant them in front of my house. Since they’re edible, it’ll be convenient to pick the fruits next year.”
“Then I’ll get someone to send it back for you with a mule cart.” Lu Chuan took a step back and said.
Chu Lin did not refuse this time. The one at home had been taken out to graze. By the time he would bring it back, he was afraid that it would be the hottest time, and the sapling would really be tormented to death..
