I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

Xiang softened her voice, "I know you and Xiaohua have had a hard time these years, but as long as you tell me where the chili peppers came from, I will treat you well."

"Mom, my aunt never told me where the chili peppers came from. Today we are all making adobe bricks."

Gu Xiaocao knew that her mother was not someone who would keep her word. She was just dealing with her casually now. Once she told her, she would be the one to bear the anger of her aunt-in-law.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't tell her mother, let alone she really didn't know.

Xiang calmed down and said, "Xiaocao, if you have a chance to know, you must tell me, so that I can find a good family for you and Xiaohua."

The Xiang family is using both kindness and severity.

"Okay, go to bed."

Xiang held the string of twenty copper coins given by Gu Xiaocao in her hand and hummed a tune as she returned to her room.

The money wasn't even warm yet when Xiang woke up in the morning and saw Old Madam Gu standing beside her like a debt collector, staring at her intently.

Xiang didn't even stand up, she just sat up with her legs shaking.

"Mom." She called out weakly.

"Mother, what time is it now? Your two daughters got up early to help the eldest daughter-in-law, and you are just being lazy here. Don't you have to plant the vegetables?"

Xiang stood up embarrassedly and said, "There is no water, so what can we plant?"

"Wait, did you forget something?"

Xiang immediately turned around, put on a flattering smile, and presented the string of copper coins with both hands: "Mother, Xiaocao and Xiaohua came back too late yesterday, and you fell asleep, so I didn't have time to give it to you."

The old woman has a good memory.

"Humph, just be lazy, I should have kicked you out earlier."

What a pity. She now sees that her eldest daughter-in-law is becoming more and more capable. Although she can benefit from her, she cannot get too close to her. She still has to save face. It would be better if the family did not split up.

All the eldest daughter-in-law's money belongs to her.

Now I feel unlucky when I see Xiang. She is so petty and handing over twenty cents is like asking for her life.

Xiang put on her clothes and went out dissatisfied. She wanted to see for herself what kind of profitable business Zhao Qiqi was doing.

"What? Your mother isn't here. Did she go to town on business?"

Xiang shouted loudly, no wonder Xiaocao and Xiaohua came here so early.

This gave her a chance. Xiang rolled her eyes and raised her hand to enter the yard.

The second fool stopped her and said, "Second Aunt, please don't come in."

Xiang was annoyed: "What do you mean? You also know that I am the second aunt, you are disobeying your elders!"

Gu Xiaocao ran over and said, "Mom, when my aunt left, she said that you were not allowed to come in."

"If she doesn't let me in, then I won't come in? What right does she have?"

It's really unreasonable to take three points.

Gu Xiaocao smiled apologetically at Ersha: "Second cousin, go and do your work first, I'll let my mother go back."

Ersha nodded and continued making earth bricks.

"Mom, don't you just want to know where the peppers come from?" Gu Xiaocao said in a low voice.

Xiang nodded eagerly. Could it be that this damn girl already knew where it came from? "Tell me quickly."

Gu Xiaocao just shook her head, and Xiang slapped her in the face, making her face turn red.

She was polite to Ersha because she was afraid of Zhao Qiqi, but she would beat Nizi, who was not loved by anyone in her family, whenever she wanted.

Don't think that she can't see that Gu Xiaocao wants to please her, but doesn't want to offend Zhao Qiqi, so she is mediating between the two sides.

Gu Xiaohua rushed over and glared at Xiang timidly, which made her laugh out of anger. This Gu Xiaohua was even more useless than her sister, but she didn't even bother to get angry.

Gu Xiaocao quickly asked her to leave, and smiled flatteringly at Xiang: "Mom, my aunt didn't prepare any peppers today. Even if you come in, you won't be able to find out where they came from. Why don't you come when my aunt is preparing them? I stopped you because I don't want you to have a falling out with my aunt. This way, I can still help my aunt and earn some money to take home."

It doesn't matter if it's good for Xiang or not, Xiang herself knows in her heart that Gu Xiaocao will have to give the money she earns to the old lady. She has four children at home, so she will definitely get the advantage.

She raised her eyebrows, smiled, and deliberately said loudly: "Since my sister-in-law is not here, I will go back. I originally wanted to come and help my sister-in-law."

Looking at Xiang's twisting back as she walked away, Gu Xiaocao almost fell down as if she was discouraged. Gu Xiaohua hurriedly came up to support her.

"I'm fine. Keep working. You can't let down the wages given by your aunt."

Zhao Qiqi was packing up his stall when he saw someone coming over.

"Here is one hundred and fifty coins. I'll return it to you. I won't rent this stall anymore."

Zhao Qiqi's face turned cold. He didn't sign the contract at the beginning, but he didn't expect that it would turn out to be a bad thing.

"I wonder how we have offended you?"

The man held a dogtail grass in his mouth and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that your small stall attracts so many people all day long, stealing other people's business. Do you understand?"

Zhao Qiqi directly pushed the 150 coins back and said, "Master, we have paid this money, it is for you, there is no reason to take it back, please tell me clearly, what is it..."

Zhao Qiqi looked at him sincerely, and the man added in a good mood: "Aren't you still supplying that Zuixianju? There has been a quarrel between the two restaurants in this town, and now the other one is not satisfied with the chili you are making."

She understood that it was Penglai Pavilion that was suppressing her and wanted her to give up because she supplied goods to Zuixianju.

She didn't say much, but just packed up her things quickly and returned to the village. Since she couldn't go to the town to sell things, it would be bad to leave these things at Zhao Er's house and waste money.

Zhao Er also saw all this and came over with a guilty look on his face: "Hey, niece, it's all my fault. I wanted to let you try it first, so I didn't remind you to sign a contract with him. Now they see that your business is booming, so they want to take it back. Hey."

Zhao Er was an honest man and thought that someone had taken over Zhao Qiqi's stall because they saw that the business was booming.

Zhao Qiqi shook his head: "It's okay, uncle. I just happened to have a lot of things going on at home recently, so it's not too busy here, so it's time to come over."

Zhao Er stuffed several sesame cakes into her pocket and asked her to take them back. Zhao Qiqi tried to refuse but failed. She also refused to accept the silver. So she had to take the sesame cakes back.

There were a lot of things, and there was no one else on the ox cart except them, mother and son, so Zhao Qiqi paid Qin Gao a few more coins.

Seeing Santu not speaking all the way, he asked, "What's wrong?"

He shook his head. He was really useless. His mother had treated them badly before and he couldn't resist. Now someone was bullying them directly and he couldn't resist either.

Is it only by studying hard and becoming a high-ranking official that one can protect everyone in the family?
