Chapter 265 Heartache
"Old man, we were a little thirsty when we passed by, so we picked some of the fruits you planted." Su Nian said with a smile, and he became proficient in doing this kind of thing a lot.

They will give money to others for picking other people's fruits. If the owner is not around, they will put the money in the shed where they rest. Although she sometimes thinks that stealing is better, she seldom does it, even after doing it. Put your money there.

"Madam, it's just a few fruits, which are worthless. If you want more, you can pick a few more without paying any money." The old man waved his hand and said, with a look of confusion.

If they stay in the field, they will only rot, and they give too much of these fruits.

"Old man, this fruit grows so well, it doesn't cost much in three taels of silver." Su Nian said with a smile. Fruits in this era are already expensive, and three taels of silver sounds like a lot, but the price of the fruits they picked will not be too different many.

"It's not worth it, it's not worth it." The old man waved his hands quickly and said, with melancholy in his eyes, "This fruit has not been harvested for several years, and it just rots if left in the field. It's really not worth so much money. . ” If you said that you sold some money before, but now... hey~
Su Nian was a little surprised. The fruits she saw along the way were all very expensive. It's amazing how they couldn't sell them here.

Su Nian asked the reason and found out that the fruit tree was planted by the old man's son, but his son died in an accident before it matured. It may be that he didn't know how to manage it in the past few years, and the fruit he planted was small and sour. Many merchants saw this and didn't buy it. Even though the fruit grew well later, no one came to buy it, and they don't know why.

The old man and his grandson depend on each other for life. The grandson is still young and the old man is old. Even if he wants to sell it in a town, it is difficult, not to mention the distance, but the bullies in the city harass him, and the old man can’t sell it. After ten yuan of money, he took away the whole basket of pears, and if he didn't want to, he would give him a beating.

As time passed, the old man didn't want to sell it anymore, and those people sometimes came to him when they saw that the old man didn't sell it, and they were extremely arrogant.

When the old man talked about these things, he was full of sadness and helplessness.

"Old man, just accept it. We can buy it at other places for more than this price, and you let us pick it ourselves, and I took advantage of it."

Su Nian didn't lie, she had to take it away after eating, basically picking up a backpack and more.

The old man accepted the three taels of silver at a loss, and sincerely invited Su Nian and the others to stay overnight at his house, "You are passing by, it's so late, you may not be able to catch up with the closed city gate and enter the city, if you don't mind, Why don't you stay at my house for a night." The old man was stiff and enthusiastic.

"Thank you, old man. We are planning to find someone to stay overnight. You have solved our big trouble." Su Nian said happily, still saying words of thanks.

The old man waved his hands without saying a word, and led them towards his house.

When they came back, a child was sitting on a stool with his face dragging his cheeks. He was about seven or eight years old. After seeing the person clearly, his eyes lit up, "Grandpa——"

"Hey." I could tell that the old man was very happy. Seeing Su Nian and others, the child asked strangely, "Grandpa, who are they?"

"They are our guests, Tie Zhu, you should call her Madam."

Su Nian quickly took the words, "Old man, you are too polite, just call me Nian Nian." Then he said to Tie Zhu, "Call me sister."

Tie Zhu called his sister with a smile on his face, it was obvious that he liked Su Nian very much.
