After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife

Chapter 56

As for the commotion Zhu Auntie had just caused, they only felt terribly embarrassed.

Being members of the main Gu family, to act in such a shameless and unrestrained manner in front of a group of people from the Gu family was truly embarrassing.

One by one, they shrank their necks, hastily weighed their fruit with Gu Jinchen, and quickly left.

But thanks to the reminder from Zhu Auntie's incident, those who came to sell fruit indeed became much more honest, and dared not try to deceive anyone anymore.

...After the outsiders had left, a few of the elder ladies of higher ranks finally looked towards Auntie Sheng and her daughter-in-law Li Zhaodi.

"Auntie Sheng's daughter-in-law, you really need to keep a better eye on this daughter-in-law of yours, lest she continues to stir up trouble every day like a sh*t-stirring stick."

Recently, Li Zhaodi had basically been involved in all the village disputes, which they, being of advanced age, had originally not wanted to meddle in.

But with repeated occurrences, they truly could no longer turn a blind eye to it.

The Gu family had always been united, and they couldn't let this sh*t-stirring stick disrupt their harmony.

Auntie Sheng, being quite old, felt her face burning upon hearing these words.

"Aunt Qiu, I understand, I'll go discipline her properly." She then directly pulled Li Zhaodi away.

From a distance, people could still hear Auntie Sheng's angry scolding and Li Zhaodi's cries of pain, which did not stop all the way.

Luo Ge heard it too, but paid no mind.

Indeed, the gossipy nature of someone like Li Zhaodi was nauseating, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't bothered by it.

Although her provocations had never succeeded, a few occurrences were still truly vexing.

But now that the elders, including Auntie Sheng, had taken the matter into their own hands and disciplined her, she shouldn't say anything more.

She only hoped that after this punishment, Li Zhaodi would learn to behave, as she didn't want any more trouble now that she was pregnant. But if she couldn't, then she shouldn't blame Luo Ge for retaliating.

...Today, Wang Sister-In-Law, Aunt Zhang, and Elder Sister Xiu Niang were all helping out, which greatly sped up the fruit peeling process.

By the end of the day, they had peeled over two thousand pounds, as she wasn't one to overwork people.

Around six o'clock when the sun was slanting, she let them go home and closed up the stall.

After all, it wouldn't be good to continue working once it got dark.

Wang Sister-In-Law and the others were paid daily, so Wang Sister-In-Law and Aunt Zhang, who had worked the entire day, each received 25 cents.

Elder Sister Xiu Niang came in the afternoon, so she was paid half, receiving 13 cents.

"Husband, what would you like to eat tonight? Shall we go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables?" After everyone had left and everything was cleaned up, Luo Ge finally said.

"I'm not picky, wife. Didn't you mention last time that you wanted to go to town to buy ingredients to make those pastries? If you're not too tired tomorrow, I'll accompany you."

Gu Jinchen wiped the sweat from his brow and followed her steps with their two little ones.

He hadn't forgotten what she had wanted to do.

"Let's not go after all. Let's see if any of our aunts are going to town tomorrow, and have them bring the ingredients back for us."

Given their current situation, they probably couldn't leave, so they should go together another time when they had the chance.

After all, she had most of the necessary ingredients in her space, so she didn't need to buy too much.

"Alright."

The family went to their vegetable garden to pick some vegetables and returned. Under Luo Ge's guidance, Gu Jinchen successfully prepared a simple meal.

After dinner, Gu Jinchen took the two little ones out to bathe and came back.

After settling the children, the couple entered the space.

They first went to the fruit orchard.

In fact, her orchard didn't have many varieties.

Peach trees, mango trees, and pear trees made up the majority, with a few apple, banana, lemon, pomelo, grape, and kiwi plants as well, but in small numbers, just three or two trees or a small plot.

The main varieties were mangoes, peaches, and pears.

She had claimed an entire mountain, with the fruit orchards on one side and the chicken and duck farm on the other.

Based on the time ratio of the space, about a month had passed in the outside world since entering the space, which meant four months had passed in the space.

She noticed that many of the fruit trees had already blossomed and were growing small fruits.

"I estimate that in about half a month, the fruits here will be ready for picking," Luo Ge said softly.

She meant half a month in the outside world, or around two more months in the space.

"The growth rate here is so fast, it would be great if we could grow some grains," Gu Jinchen remarked wistfully.

Unfortunately, they had tried, but anything other than what was originally planted in the space couldn't survive.

"There are pros and cons," Luo Ge smiled in response to Gu Jinchen's remark.

Hearing this, Gu Jinchen nodded in agreement, for their current situation was already quite satisfactory.

After that, Luo Ge pulled him towards the farm, estimating that after so much time, the chickens and ducks should be ready to incubate their eggs.

Sure enough, when they used their consciousness to observe the space, they found that the eggs in the nests had already begun to develop embryos.

Using their minds to control the space, they separated the fertilized eggs and left them for the birds to incubate, while putting the remaining unfertilized eggs aside.
