Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

There are red apples hanging on a tree, and you can smell the rich fruity fragrance when you stand under the tree.

On another tree were pears, each as big as an adult man's fist, hanging heavily on the branches, and on another tree were green dates.

"Mom, mom... come here quickly!"

Shen Chulan exclaimed.

Old Mrs. Liu dropped the wild vegetables in her hand and ran towards the direction of Shen Chulan's voice. When she arrived under the three trees, she was stunned.

"Oh my god, where did this fruit tree come from? The fruits are so big and fragrant, you can tell they are sweet just by looking at them."

Ye Wan was also shocked, "Chu Lan, how did you find this fruit?"

They have been here for so long and haven't found any fruit trees in the mountains.

Shen Chulan glanced down at Yaoyao who was sucking her fingers and said honestly, "Yaoyao asked me to come..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yaoyao in Shen Chulan's arms was taken away by Old Lady Liu.

"Grandma's dear granddaughter, how come you are so capable? Grandma will cherish you for a while." As she said this, Grandma Liu hugged her precious granddaughter and kissed her face hard.

"Guoping, Guoxing, go up the tree and pick the fruit. Guowang, hurry down the mountain and call your grandfather and the others up."

After receiving the order, Guoping and Guoxing spat in their hands and climbed up the tree. They put a sack on themselves and put the picked apples in the sack.

Guowang sucked his saliva and walked down the mountain with sparkling eyes. He had never tasted the sweet fruit before.

"Nanny...Nanny, Chongchong, let your sister play."

Guoan stumbled towards Old Lady Liu and the others, holding a black snake's tail in his hand. Xiao Hei, who was following behind him, pressed the snake's head but couldn't stop it.

Old Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she almost died on the spot.

Seeing that Old Lady Liu was almost dying, Xiao Hei slapped Guoan's hand that was grabbing the snake's tail away with one claw. What a fool! He didn't keep a good eye on the snake and the hibernating snake was pulled out by this stupid fool.

The black snake, having gained freedom, quickly jumped far away. It was not safe here. Even its sleeping nest had been destroyed.

When Old Lady Liu saw the snake had gone away, her half-lost soul finally returned to her body. She was so angry that she picked up a stick from the ground and beat him until he burst into tears.

This was not a solution either. Old Lady Liu simply hung Guoan on a tree branch and gave him an apple.

Guoan looked at his mother with tears in his eyes and a pursed mouth. Shen Chulan looked away and cursed in her heart that she deserved it.

The lesson he learned a few days ago hasn't taught him a lesson yet, and now he's caught a black snake for Yaoyao to play with. The snake is so big that it can easily swallow Yaoyao in one bite.

Ye Wan's legs were weak. My goodness, Guoan is getting bolder and bolder.

The three women thought to themselves: Next time we have to lock Guoan in the house.

Old Man Yuan and Old Second Yuan had just moved the twenty or so bags of potatoes back to the warehouse and were pushing a cart to the foot of the mountain to transport firewood when they heard Guo Wang say that they had discovered fruit trees.

The two looked at each other and hurriedly brought over a dozen more sacks from home.

The family packed bags of apples, pears and dates into sacks and happily carried the fruits back home.

In the yard, Old Lady Liu held Yaoyao in her arms, a sweetheart on each side, and a precious baby on the other. Several little boys surrounded their sister, cheering and chewing an apple in their hands.

Old Lady Liu looked at the boys and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, okay? Otherwise, if others find out, you won't have any good food to eat in the future."

Guoping, Guoxing, Guowang and Guoan all knew that these things were brought by the younger sister, and they all nodded and patted their chests to promise not to tell anyone.

Shen Chulan and Ye Wan put the picked mushrooms and fungus on a winnowing basket to dry.

Old Man Yuan and Old Second Yuan went back to the mountain to transport firewood.

The third daughter-in-law, who was lying on the bed, was extremely hungry. Seeing that her family had no intention of cooking, she covered her stomach and went to the front yard.

"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, why haven't you cooked yet? I'm almost starving."

Shen Chulan and Ye Wan rolled their eyes at her. Did she really think she was a lady?

Old Lady Liu took out a broom from the corner and hit her a few times. "What do you mean you are a daughter from a wealthy family? You expect our whole family to serve you. You do no clean work every day and just eat for free. Get out of the Yuan family right now. We can't afford to support you, a big Buddha like you!"

The third daughter-in-law shuddered all over, and then she realized that her mother-in-law was there. She laughed dryly and said, "...Mom, that's not what I meant... I just feel uncomfortable in my stomach and it's my period."

"Bah! You have your period three times a month, what's wrong with you? You're a sow in heat, waiting to be bred. Don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. Hurry up and cook for me!"

Old Lady Liu pointed at the third son's wife and scolded her. The more she scolded, the more she felt that the third son's wife needed to be disciplined, otherwise she would start to take advantage of her.

"Oh..." The third daughter-in-law nodded reluctantly, her eyes inadvertently looking at the boys who were eating apples, her eyes almost popping out, "Mom, where did you get the apples?"

Her nose was filled with a rich fruity aroma, making her drool.

"Hurry up and cook, where the apples come from is none of your business!"

Seeing that the third daughter-in-law was still standing there motionless, Old Lady Liu swept the broom and struck her hard again.

Saving life is the most important thing, so the third daughter-in-law ran into the kitchen.

Shen Chulan and Ye Wan dried the fungus and mushrooms, washed their hands and went into the kitchen.

The third son’s wife’s cooking skills are terrible, so it’s better not to let her waste the food.

Old Mrs. Liu took a basket, filled it with apples, pears and dates and went out.

Arrived at Lu Mansion and knocked on the door.

The gatekeeper opened the door and saw that it was Old Lady Liu, so he immediately went to report.

"Auntie, please come in."

This is the third time that Old Lady Liu has come to the Lu Mansion. Every time she comes, she is impressed by the magnificent and grand decoration of the Lu Mansion.

Lu Jiu, Nanny Nan was waiting in the reception room early.

Seeing them, Old Lady Liu put the basket on the table and said with a smile, "I just picked these fruits from the mountain. They are fresh and sweet. I thought I would bring some over for you to try."

Lu Jiu looked at the red apples, pears as big as an adult's fist, and green dates in the basket. They were all fresh and exuded a rich fruity aroma. He couldn't help but want to take them out and eat them.

"Auntie, you are so thoughtful." Lu Jiu said with a smile.

Old Lady Liu waved her hands and said, "They are just picked from the mountains. They are nothing special. We picked too much and can't keep them. We have to take them to town to sell, otherwise they will go bad."

Lu Jiu heard the hidden meaning in Mrs. Liu's words and said, "Speaking of which, I happen to have a friend in town who runs a restaurant. I can ask for you tomorrow."

"Isn't this a bit troublesome? I came here this time to ask what the appropriate price for these fruits is. You know, we poor people have never eaten fruit in our lives, so we don't know the price."
