Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 412 - 412: Getting Out of Trouble

After Madam Sun finished speaking, she really went to look at the mountain pepper sapling. After she went over, she pulled off the leaves from the sapling and put them into her mouth to chew. She wanted to try eating them. Was this thing that valuable? It cost a 100 copper coins.

Madam Sun went to find the people who came to work to inquire about the news.

Lu Chuan pretended not to see it. Ye Muyu had a casual attitude and did not force the clansmen to buy them,

He had also reminded the other men who were working earlier, so there was naturally nothing to worry about.

Chu Xueqin saw Madam Sun’s attitude. It was obvious that she was unwilling to give money if she could not see the benefits. He sighed in his heart, thinking that it was fortunate that his family was willing to buy it. He was not afraid

that his sister-in-law would have extra saplings.

Just as he was sighing, Chu An asked Lu Chuan the same question. “How do I pick the sapling? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?”

“Old Master, you only need to take out the saplings with the soil and plant them into a hole . For the first month, remember to water the saplings every day to keep the soil moist. When you transplant them, pay attention to the roots to make sure they’re not damaged and cover them appropriately. If the branches and leaves are too lush, cut some.”

“Alright, I’ll buy ten first.” Chu An smiled as he took out a money bag from his clothes. He took out a string of money and handed it to Lu Chuan.

His movements were so fast that Chu Lin and the others immediately looked at him.

Seeing everyone looking over, Chu An smiled. “Speaking of which, I was worried about what kind of trees to plant after clearing the weeds on the mountain. Now, sister-in-law has helped me solve a problem. I have to thank sister-in-law.”

“If you guys don’t buy much, leave the rest to me.”

Although Chu An said it very naturally, no one believed that it was the truth. After all, the Chu family’s first branch had the largest area of mountain.There were large oak trees growing on it. They used this wood to repair the house and did not have to spend money to buy it.

This time, Chu Xing had even spent money to add some wood to the house.

Therefore, there really were not many empty spots on the mountain.

Chu Lin looked at Chu An in surprise. He did not say anything more and retracted his gaze. He thought of the number his wife had told him. He thought for a while and said, “I’ll take fifteen for my family.”

Actually, he wanted to buy more. Five of it was for his daughter, Qingxiang, to plant some trees on the barren land she had obtained from the female arts competition. Even if she did not take care of them much, she would still have a harvest every year.

The other five were bought for his second brother.

He had bought five of them himself, and it was enough to plant them at his doorstep. He could have planted more at the mountain.

“Alright, Eldest Master, please wait a moment.” Lu Chuan used the words ‘Eldest Master’ and ‘Eldest Young Master’ to differentiate Chu Lin from Chu An.

He quickly received the money.

He called two men over to help them choose the saplings.

Chu Xueqin saw that his two cousins had asked for 25 stalks. The amount he had wanted before was not enough. He felt a little helpless.

Both the first and third branches had bought some saplings.

The fourth aunt of the fourth family was obviously not very willing to buy it.

Chu Xueqin looked at the second branch’s eldest daughter-in-law, Madam

Wang, and asked, “Sister-in-law, do you have a number you want to buy?”

“Ninth brother, what about you?” Madam Wang was a little hesitant. She subconsciously touched the spot where the money was placed on her waist. She gently pursed her lips and looked a little embarrassed.

When Chu Xueqin saw this, he knew that the Madam Wang was probably short of money. She did not bring any money with her when she came. This meant that her family had called her over to inquire about the situation. If she could not buy it, she would not buy it. If she had to buy it, she would just buy a little..
