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

The rain was quite heavy. Although it was a happy occasion, it was like a leaking roof and a rainy night. Many families now live in very crowded places, not to mention that many thatched roofs could not withstand such heavy rain.

The water level of the river gradually rose. Zhao Qiqi looked at the muddy water coming down from the mountain and felt a little anxious.

This drought lasted too long and a lot of vegetation on the mountain has died. In addition, many families now need a lot of wood to rebuild their houses, so we still need to plant more vegetation.

Although their house is some distance away from the foot of the mountain, it will definitely be affected if the rain is too heavy.

Zhao Qiqi saw a carriage driving here. It was raining heavily and he couldn't see who it was. How could someone come here in such heavy rain?

Besides, the style of this carriage is something I have never seen before.

A man got off the carriage, with a servant beside him holding an umbrella. It was not until he walked in front of Zhao Qiqi that she could see clearly who he was.

"Sister." He had a flattering smile on his face. The rain was really heavy, and there were many raindrops on his face that could not be blocked. He was a little impatient, so he pushed away the servant who was holding the umbrella for him and took the umbrella himself.

The servant seemed a little unconvinced and couldn't hide his contempt for him.

Even though Zhao Qiqi didn't come to open the door for him, he didn't get angry and just ran over happily.

"What do you want from me, brother?"

Zhao Qiqi stood in front of him and didn't say that he couldn't enter, but he didn't let him in either.

Zhao Licheng sighed and looked at her lovingly, as if Zhao Qiqi was an ignorant little sister who was throwing a tantrum.

"Sister, please don't stand outside. Be careful not to get wet."

Zhao Qiqi got goosebumps all over her body: "Brother, you should tell your sister-in-law about this. She will fall for your tricks."

The expression on his face froze for a moment but then changed naturally: "Sister, what are you talking about? I heard about what happened when Dad came to your place last time. I know you are still angry. Don't worry, I have already talked to him for you. Dad also knows that it was wrong for him to do that. He will not do that again in the future. He is so old, so don't be angry with him."

These words were spoken high up and then put down lightly. If Zhao Qiqi said anything emotional to him again, it would mean that he had not forgiven his elderly father and was unfilial.

Zhao Qiqi looked at him with a half-smile: "Brother, if you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible, otherwise I won't have time to chat with you here."

Zhao Licheng smiled awkwardly, rubbed his palms together, and said after a moment's consideration: "Don't you have any peppers for sale? I was thinking of buying some from you, so that you don't have to work so hard to sell them to others."

It sounded as if he was still helping Zhao Qiqi to reduce his burden.

Zhao Qiqi lowered her head and smiled softly. Before she could say anything, Zhao Licheng couldn't sit still and spoke first.

"What do you mean, sister? As your elder brother, I want to help you with your business, but do you think I'm taking advantage of you?"

It seems that Zhao Licheng has no idea about this pepper. If he knew, he would know the current market of this pepper in Qixian Town, and he would also know that she cannot supply the pepper now. Of course, it is not that she cannot supply it, but there is no way to supply it reasonably in an open manner.

She did not open her mouth to explain: "Brother, I know you are kind enough to help me, but the fire we had earlier killed all the pepper trees. Not a single one was left, so there are no more peppers."

Zhao Licheng was thinking in his mind that these were grown by Zhao Qiqi himself, not picked from the mountain. If he could get the seedlings, he could also grow peppers. He didn't know what was so special about these peppers. If his wife hadn't asked him to look for them, he would not have given Zhao Qiqi a good face!

"In that case, please give me some of your chili seedlings."

Zhao Qiqi didn't expect him to be so shameless, and the smile on his face almost couldn't be maintained: "The seedlings have been burned a long time ago. If big brother wants seedlings, why not ask my sister-in-law's family to look for them in the north. I am also a peddler from the north, and I happened to buy them."

Mrs. Zhao Licheng, the daughter of the He family in Zuixianju in the town, has only been to Zhaojia Village a few times in all these years of marriage. Even Zhao Licheng's son He Lianjun has been living in the town. If Zhao Licheng was not afraid of gossip, he would probably live in the He family.

I just don’t know why He Honglian would fall for Zhao Licheng.

Although such a father-in-law's family sounds impressive, Zhao Licheng's father and mother never received any financial support from him. Instead, they had to give him money to fool around from time to time.

Zhao Licheng insisted on making this trip today in the rain. Could it be that he wanted to show off?

Zhao Licheng knew that Zhao Qiqi could not help him, so he lost his kindness and immediately frowned: "It's raining heavily, I will stay at your house for dinner."

As soon as his butt touched the stool, the servant followed him immediately. He was a little wet, and Zhao Qiqi couldn't bear it anymore and let him go under the eaves to shelter from the rain.

"Sir, it's getting late. The young lady told you to go back early before you came out."

Zhao Licheng felt a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "In that case, I'll leave first. There are things waiting for me to deal with at home, so I'm a little anxious."

Zhao Qiqi didn't expose him. If there was really something urgent for him to deal with, why would he come so early in the rain to discuss business?

As soon as Zhao Licheng returned to the He family, He Honglian came to greet him: "How is it? Did Zhao Qiqi agree?"

He Honglian didn't even call Zhao Qiqi "sister-in-law", mainly because she looked down on the people in the Zhao family, and even more so on this sister-in-law who often came home to beg for money.

Zhao Licheng looked a little embarrassed. He had been feeling very anxious all the way, but he just didn't know how to tell He Honglian.

"What do you mean? You can't even handle this?" He Honglian's face immediately showed displeasure. In order to keep him in the He family, she deliberately chose Zhao Licheng, who was good-looking and spoke well but came from a poor family.

But I didn't expect that he was really useless. He relied on his parents for support at home and relied on her for arrangements when he came to town. He had nothing to do. Now that he finally had something to do, he messed it up.

He Honglian frowned and said coldly: "Zhao Licheng, let me tell you, my eldest brother is seriously ill now, this is our best chance. If we get the supply of peppers, my father will definitely value us."

Zhao Licheng didn't know that this chili was so important. He just thought it was a fresh vegetable.

He quickly added, "Don't worry, not only I can't get it, but even Zuixianju can't get it. You can definitely win favor by telling my father-in-law this. A few days ago, most of my sister's village was burned down, and the pepper seedlings were all burned. She can't supply peppers anymore. Zuixianju should be using the previous stock now."
