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

Living under someone else's roof, even if Xiang was ungrateful, she knew that she had to keep a low profile. She put on a bright smile and looked at Zhao Qiqi in a flattering manner.

"Sister-in-law, is there anything you want me to do?" Of course, she was just asking casually, thinking that Zhao Qiqi would not dare to ask her to do any work in front of Old Mrs. Gu.

"Yes, I need your help with something."

Xiang's smile froze on her face. How dare Zhao Qiqi! He actually had the audacity to ask her to do some work.

She pretended to be willing: "If my sister-in-law asked me to, I would be willing, but my mother asked me to clean up this place and dry the grain, so I don't have time to help my sister-in-law."

It’s not that she didn’t want to, but she was busy. The old lady asked her to do the work, and Zhao Qiqi didn’t dare to go past the old lady!

"Oh? Really? I originally wanted to ask my second brother and sister-in-law to help me grow peppers. Now that my second brother and sister-in-law are so busy, I will ask my third brother and sister-in-law to help me." Zhao Qiqi naturally knew that Xiang had always been thinking about the peppers.

What! Xiang wanted to stop Zhao Qiqi and say that she was willing, but Zhao Qiqi walked away without looking back! Xiang hung her head in frustration, wishing she could slap herself in the face. She was unwilling to give up, so she dropped the broom and ran to the front yard to see how Zhao Qiqi taught Bai.

When she came out, she saw Zhao Qiqi and Old Lady Gu sitting together. Zhao Qiqi looked at her calmly, "Why did your second sister-in-law come out? Didn't you just say that mother had some work for you? Shouldn't you finish it quickly?"

Xiang met Zhao Qiqi's eyes and didn't even dare to look at the old lady beside her: "Well, I was thinking that if you have anything important to do, you can come and help."

Who couldn't see what she was thinking? Mrs. Bai, who was making clothes, was quiet and didn't say anything. But Mrs. Xiang felt that there was also a mockery of her in that silence.

She stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to move forward or backward. Old Mrs. Gu cracked the melon seeds in her hand without even raising her eyelids.

It was Zhao Qiqi who broke the deadlock. She smiled and said, "Since my second brother's wife is so free, why don't you sweep the front yard?"

Xiang had previously thought that Zhao Qiqi didn't dare to ask her to work in front of the old lady, but now she was immediately slapped in the face.

Xiang picked up the broom and began to sweep the floor resignedly. As she swept, she sighed in her heart, wondering why she was so unlucky.

But she just wanted to hear what Zhao Qiqi said about growing peppers, so she resigned herself to doing the work that she had left to Xiaocao and Xiaohua at home.

Zhao Qiqi was leisurely eating melon seeds, chatting with Old Mrs. Gu, and occasionally giving Xiang a few instructions.

"Second sister-in-law, please sweep that side as well. And this side, don't forget."

Xiang felt extremely aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only sweep the floor silently. She felt that she had never been so embarrassed before.

"Okay, eldest daughter-in-law, you said you had something important to discuss with me, so go ahead." Old Mrs. Gu turned the topic back to what Zhao Qiqi had just wanted to tell her.

All power in the family lies with the old lady. Even if the two men are working outside, the old lady has the right to make decisions.

"Mom, I'm sure you know that I supplied peppers to Zuixianju a few days ago and the profit was pretty good. If you are willing, I can provide seedlings, but you have to sell all your output to me."

Xiang pricked up her ears and listened, and stopped what she was doing. She was very happy when she heard Zhao Qiqi say that he would provide her with the seedlings, but when she heard that he would sell them to Zhao Qiqi, she felt a little unhappy.

It is impossible for Zhao Qiqi to use so many peppers by himself. He must have used them himself. They worked so hard to grow them, and then they sold them. It is estimated that they made a profit of tens of thousands of yuan! What a calculation.

But since Old Madam Gu was there, Xiang had no right to speak and she didn't dare to say anything.

Aunt Li had spread the news that Zhao Qiqi sold peppers for 60 cents per pound everywhere, so she naturally knew about it. Old Mrs. Gu was a little tempted. She worked so hard to grow crops and had to pay taxes. After paying the taxes, she only had half of her income left. In addition, with the current situation this year, who knows how many people would starve to death.

If I sell all of them to Zhao Qiqi, I don’t have to go out to sell them myself. I can just plant them and collect the money.

"How much do you plan to charge per pound?"

Xiang couldn't bear it any longer, she threw the broom in her hand away, and her voice became sharper. She looked at Zhao Qiqi in disbelief, and the anger in her eyes seemed to burst out.

This is all real money, and Zhao Qiqi was able to embezzle so much of it.

"Fifteen cents per pound." Zhao Qiqi repeated.

Fifteen cents! Mrs. Xiang was furious, not caring that Mrs. Gu was the one in charge of the household: "You are too ruthless, buying it at fifteen cents per pound, and reselling it at sixty cents, a full profit of forty-five cents. Are you crazy about making money?"

Xiang talked for a long time, but Mrs. Gu did not stop him. The profit of forty-five cents was really a huge profit.

Although, fifteen cents per pound was already a lot for them.

A pound of white rice only costs seven or eight cents, and it's overpriced because of the famine.

"Don't be anxious, sister-in-law. I am planning to expand production and sales and sell peppers to other towns and counties. Naturally, the price cannot be so high."

By lowering the price appropriately to open up the market, and taking advantage of the unique inherent advantages of peppers, you will definitely be able to make money.

"If my sister-in-law doesn't want to, I'm sure mother can't force you. Then I can find someone else in the village to do it."

Zhao Qiqi said this to give face to Old Lady Gu, and did not point out that Old Lady Gu was also dissatisfied with the price.

Xiang was anxious: "Yes, I am willing."

Although I don't know how peppers are grown, they only cost 15 cents per pound, and there's no tax. It's a very profitable business, so how could I not do it?

Old Mrs. Gu also knew that Zhao Qiqi could find anyone in the village to do this business. The reason he found them was just out of consideration for family affection, not to take advantage of them. It was their greed that was like a snake swallowing an elephant.

"Qiqi, since your second brother and sister-in-law agree, then I naturally agree too."

Bai didn't even ask her a question. It turned out that it was better to be more aggressive, otherwise she would just be treated as a soft persimmon that could be bullied by anyone.

This matter was settled. When the men from the second and third rooms came back, they would tidy up the fields and plant peppers.

Now there is water only on the mountain and in Zhao Qiqi's home, so the water for the pepper fields is naturally brought from Zhao Qiqi's side.

This spiritual spring water promotes the growth of peppers, and they will bear fruit in about a month.

"Grandma, mother, second aunt, third aunt, we are back."

It was Gu Yantang and Gu Yanyan who came back. She asked them to help Li Yuzhu harvest rice. After all, no one knew where Zhang Huatou had run off to, and he probably didn't dare to come back, as he would be sent to the government if he came back.

There was no other labor force in Li Yuzhu's family, but there were three acres of land, so Gu Yantang and Gu Yanyan came back a little late.

Zhao Qiqi didn't let Hu Lan work, so she cooked by herself.

The environment is getting worse and worse, the pepper fields have been destroyed, and there is no source of income. Zhao Qiqi plans to save money.

We had corn porridge for lunch, and Gu Yansui came back around the time we finished our meal.

After he finished his work, he hurried off to ask for the doctor and has only just returned.

There were no ox carts going to the town because Qin Gao's ox was taken away by the group of thieves, and no one knew whether it was eaten or used as transportation.

The doctor took Hu Lan's pulse. Gu Yansui was extremely nervous. He stared at Hu Lan without blinking, fearing that she might be feeling unwell.

"Congratulations, you are indeed pregnant, but you are a little nervous, which may be caused by the shock. I will prescribe some pregnancy-maintaining medicine for you to take for a few days. Be careful not to overwork yourself, and be extra careful in the first three months."

Old Mrs. Gu was overjoyed, she was really pregnant. This was the first grandson for their Gu family!

After hearing what the doctor said, Gu Yansui had already come to Hu Lan's side, leaning against her belly, and the joy in his eyes could not be suppressed. This young boy was a father for the first time, and he was almost like saying to anyone he met on the road:

"What, how do you know I'm going to be a father?"

Zhao Qiqi paid for the medicine and medical fees, and gave some extra money for good luck.
