Chapter 101

"No problem, Second Elder, pick whatever you want!"

Wan Ping'an smiled and took the money.

Liu Haizhong was very satisfied; Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady had been classified as beasts by Wan Ping'an and couldn't buy any, but he could buy pumpkins smoothly.

The pleasure of defeating Yi Zhonghai made him smile brightly!

He was very proud!

"Xu Damao, did you bring back several pumpkins yesterday?"

Jia Zhangshi sought out Xu Damao.

"Jia Zhangshi, what do you want?"

Xu Damao's father, Xu Fugui, had just arrived at the backyard and saw Jia Zhangshi targeting Xu Damao; his face clouded over immediately as he asked coldly.

"Old Xu, your family has so many pumpkins you can't finish them, let me help you share one!"

Jia Zhangshi couldn't buy any pumpkins, so she set her sights on those who had them.

And she didn't want to pay for them, she wanted them directly!

"You want one?"

"Sure, ten yuan each!"

Xu Fugui rolled his eyes and had an idea.

"Xu Fugui, Wan Ping'an only sells them for one yuan, you're selling them for ten; have you gone crazy for money?"

Jia Zhangshi exploded on the spot.

"The problem is, can you even buy one for a yuan?"

"If you want to eat, bring ten yuan; if you don't want to eat, get lost."

Xu Fugui didn't indulge Jia Zhangshi either.

"You Xu, you just wait, I won't let you off."

Jia Zhangshi turned and left.

Xu Fugui was one of the few people in the courtyard who didn't give her face.

Jia Zhangshi left.

Wan Ping'an's pumpkins sold very smoothly; before noon, the two carts of pumpkins were sold out.

He had to have Cai Quanwu send over two more carts.

Jia Zhangshi's teeth were almost shattered; at one yuan each, selling so explosively, Wan Ping'an would definitely make a fortune!

Noon.

The scent of pumpkin permeated the Sihe Academy.

The Xu family.

The three members of the Xu family had steamed pumpkin for lunch.

"I really didn't expect Wan Ping'an to be so good at farming; the persimmons and pumpkins he grows would definitely be imperial tribute in the past!"

Xu Fugui sighed with emotion.

"Haha, originally Yi Zhonghai and the others all ostracized Wan Ping'an together, now they've gotten their comeuppance; Wan Ping'an has left them looking like fools."

Xu Damao gloated.

The Sun family.

The family of five also had pumpkin for lunch.

"Dad, Mom, the pumpkin is so delicious."

Niuniu gnawed on a piece of pumpkin, her little face covered in it.

"If it's delicious, eat more!"

Wang Dahua smiled and wiped her little daughter's face.

"Mom, I've decided, I want to be Brother Wan's wife; if I'm his wife, I can eat pumpkin every day."

Niuniu said with conviction, her expression very serious.

The other four members of the Sun family were all stunned by Niuniu's "grand declaration," followed by a burst of laughter.

Of course.

None of them would take it seriously.

Niuniu was only three years old, what did she know?

It could only be said that the pumpkins Wan Ping'an grew were simply too delicious and had conquered Niuniu!

The Liu Haizhong family.

They also had pumpkin for lunch.

"This pumpkin is really good, no wonder it sells for one yuan each; just for this sweet taste, it's worth it!"

Liu Haizhong evaluated.

"It's just too expensive, we can only eat it occasionally to satisfy our cravings!"

The Second Elder's wife nodded and sighed.

"Old Liu, what do you think about letting Guangqi go help Wan Ping'an farm?"

The Second Elder's wife had a good idea.

"Long hair, short insight!"

"No matter how much money Wan Ping'an makes, he's still a farmer, relying on the heavens for his livelihood."

"It's fine when the weather is good, but if there's a natural disaster and he gets no harvest, he could lose everything and cry himself to death; it's too unstable."

Liu Haizhong disagreed.

He overlooked a very important point.

The money Wan Ping'an made selling tomatoes or pumpkins once was more than what he earned in ten years of hard work.

Even if Wan Ping'an only had a good harvest once every ten years, his life would still be much better than his.

The Yi Zhonghai family.

No pumpkin.

Only corn buns.

And a plate of stir-fried cabbage.

"I'm not eating, why are these corn buns so hard?"

Yi Zhonghai threw the bun on the table.

"Haven't the buns always been this hard?"

The First Elder's wife was confused; what was wrong with Yi Zhonghai?

Then she realized.

It was the pumpkin's fault!

Before Ping'an sold the pumpkins, he gave every household in the courtyard one for free.

Except for their four families!

Pumpkin was soft, fluffy, and fragrant; of course, it was much better than corn buns!

Yi Zhonghai couldn't eat pumpkin, got jealous, and was throwing a tantrum for no reason!

Sigh!

The First Elder's wife didn't say anything and silently ate her corn bun.

The Jia family.

"Pumpkin, pumpkin, I want to eat the pumpkin Wan Ping'an grew."

Jia Zhangshi threw a piece of pumpkin on the table.

She wanted to eat pumpkin.

Jia Gensheng went to the vegetable market and bought one, picking the best-looking one.

When steamed, it was also soft, fluffy, and sweet.

But there's no fear of not having good goods, only fear of comparing goods; compared to the pumpkins Wan Ping'an sold, the pumpkin the Jia family was eating was simply an inferior product.

"Jia Gensheng, you really are a piece of trash."

"I've been with you for so many years, gave birth to a son for you, and I can't even get a pumpkin to eat; tell me, what else are you good for?"

When Jia Zhangshi was young, she was proud and arrogant, wanting to marry a rich and handsome man, but ended up marrying the honest and simple Jia Gensheng.

She felt she had married down and wronged herself.
