Chapter 174: Didn’t dare to make trouble?

Old Lady Gu was scolded by her eldest daughter and almost choked.

The Eldest Aunt was the old lady’s first child. Besides, there was only one daughter in the family. She had a status in the family in the past. In the old lady’s heart, her daughter was truly filial.

Old Lady Gu covered her chest and pointed at the Eldest Aunt: “You, you are now wearing the same pants as Lao’er.”

Mrs. Qian added: “It’s because you want to curry favor with him because his family has become rich.”

The Eldest Aunt stared at Mrs. Qian: “If you keep talking nonsense, I will ask Laoda to divorce you!”

Mrs. Qian wanted to say a few more words, but she was really afraid that the Eldest Aunt would go to Gu Zhong to tell him.

Gu Zhong was already very dissatisfied with her recently, so she had to be aggrieved and silent.

At this moment, Gu Fei’s crisp voice came from the yard: “Aunt, is Aunt home?”

The Eldest Aunt hurriedly came out of the old lady’s room with a smile on her face: “Xiao Fei, you’re here. Come in, and sit in our room.”

Not only Gu Fei came, but Gu Qing, Gu Erlang, and Gu Sanlang also came.

Gu Qing walked into the old lady’s room with a suckling pig and a salted fish in his hand and said with a smile: “Grandma, Young Master Su just sent a New Year gift. The suckling pig is tender and just suitable for the elderly to eat. Dad asked me to send it to you for the New Year.”

Old Lady Gu’s mouth twitched. She was about to scold her daughter, but she thought that her daughter’s words were not unreasonable, so she had to smile and say: “It’s a pity that your father still thinks about me, an old woman.”

Mrs. Qian looked at the suckling pig with shining eyes and then pouted again. There were so many things in the carriage, but Gu Zhang only sent this little thing. He was stingy.

Gu Fei brought a cured chicken and a cured fish and went into her aunt’s room.

She put the things down: “Aunt, it’s New Year’s Day, keep the chicken and fish for a dish.”

The Eldest Aunt looked around the room for something to treat Gu Fei, but there was nothing at home. She was a little embarrassed: “After fleeing the famine, our family has become poor, and we can’t even afford to entertain guests.”

Gu Fei hurriedly comforted her: “Aunt, you just come in this place, it will get better slowly.”

She suddenly remembered that her mother tried to grow peppers in the empty wing a few days ago, and the pepper seeds had already grown seedlings.

Mrs. Chen also muttered: “There are so many pepper seeds, but I think it’s enough to plant 100 or 200 acres of land.”

Gu Fei’s heart moved, the seeds were just sitting there, and her aunt’s family and uncle’s family were both in trouble now, so why not grow peppers together?

She whispered: “Aunt, what are you going to do after the New Year?”

The Eldest Aunt said: “Your uncle-in-law went to Liu Zhuangtou, and two tenants happened to want to give up their leases. My family and your uncle’s family plan to take over those lands to grow food. At least we won’t starve to death with food.

Gu Fei thought for a while: “Aunt, my family plans to grow peppers in the spring.”

The Eldest Aunt’s eyes flashed: “Peppers? Is it the one you put in the fried rabbit meat at that time? I remember you mentioned it once.”

Gu Fei nodded: “If you want to grow it, I still have some seeds.”

“It’s just that this thing is new, and it’s hard to say how it will turn out.”

She doesn’t know if the dishes with chili peppers in Young Master Zhu’s restaurant sell well.

The Eldest Aunt thought that Gu Fei was not only capable but also lucky.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bought a house and land as soon as she came to Ping’an City. Her family grows chili peppers themselves, so what else was there to think about? Just follow suit.

She nodded: “Then my family will also grow chili peppers. When spring comes, I will go to your house to buy seeds.”

Gu Fei smiled: “What to buy? There are still some left. I will give some to the Eldest Aunt. If the Youngest Uncle needs them, just tell him to get them.”
