Gu Zhang was overjoyed. He was kindhearted. His family had made a fortune, and he also hoped the villagers who came out with him would have a better life.
When he heard Gu Fei say that, his eyes were wet. “That’s great. If I can make money, I will feel at ease.”
“Everyone believed in me and followed me out, but in the end, they all owed a lot of debts. I always feel bad about it.”
The eldest uncle patted him on the shoulder, “This is not your fault. It was the black-hearted officials who took all our money.”
The younger uncle also nodded, “That’s right, if I didn’t come out, I might have died at home by now.”
“I have to thank my second brother for saving our family’s lives!”
The younger uncle looked at Gu Fei, “Xiao Fei, can my family make this snack too? ”
Gu Fei nodded, “Of course, they can do it. I am willing to teach, as long as everyone is willing to do it. There may not be too many people eating this thing at the beginning. Once everyone tastes the taste, it will sell well.”
The uncle looked at Gu Fei eagerly, “Then when will you teach?”
Gu Fei smiled, “No hurry. Wait until the dried peppers are dry. We will save some to grind into powder, and I have to go to the blacksmith shop to order tools.”
The uncle was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands, “Our family is lucky to have Xiao Fei.”
“Oh, second brother, how can you give birth so well? Xiao Fei is a cash cow!”
Praising Gu Fei was Gu Zhang’s favorite thing. He smiled so hard that his teeth were not visible. “It’s not all my credit to give birth to Xiao Fei. Your second sister-in-law also has a share.”
Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at him and couldn’t help laughing again.
For a while, the family was pleased.
The eldest uncle sighed, “That’s good, now we can return the money to Young Master Su.”
“If I have more money, I will buy a house.”
The younger uncle also said, “I will buy a house too, but I want to live close to my second brother’s house. If I live far away, I will be anxious.”
The eldest aunt and the eldest uncle also thought the same thing, and they both glanced at Gu Zhang.
Gu Zhang spread his hands: “What can I do?”
The eldest aunt suddenly said, “It would be great if we could build a house nearby, so that we brothers and sisters can live together and take care of each other.”
Mrs. Chen was also willing in her heart. She loved the hustle and bustle and was used to living in the village. She suddenly felt lonely living in a single-family house.
Gu Fei thought for a while, “Dad, do you think it’s okay for us to register our household registration here?”
As soon as this was said, everyone looked at Gu Fei.
For Gu Fei, there was not much concept of hometown. She thought the climate in Pingan City was better than that in Xiqin County, and this place was rich and easy to make money in.
The uncle hesitated and said, “Then, when the drought is over, we won’t go back?”
The eldest aunt lowered her eyes. Since Aunt Liu told her about the prince that day, she took it to heart. If their family wants to be prosperous and turn over completely, they have to rely on Gu Fei.
If they go back to Xiqin County, they don’t have the prince as a backer!
She raised her head suddenly, “I think Pingan City is good.”
“How much money can you earn in Xiqin County in a year?”
“We have only been here for half a year, and we are about to get hundreds of taels of silver. Things will get better and better in the future!”
“I am willing to register my household registration here.”
The eldest aunt has the final say at home. Otherwise, the first uncle would not have left his brothers behind and followed his brothers-in-law to escape the famine.
The eldest uncle-in-law nodded beside him, “I think it’s good too.”
“But my ancestral grave is still in that mountain, and I don’t know what to do.”
