Chapter 48

Jia Dongxu going to pick up the rotten pumpkin was seen by Wan Ping'an the whole time.

"If you had paid a high price to buy a pumpkin I grew from someone else, you would have definitely gotten one, at most losing a little money."

"But you chose not to, and came to pick up a rotten pumpkin."

"Can rotten pumpkin be eaten?"

"The good show is about to begin!"

Wan Ping'an watched Jia Dongxu pick up the rotten pumpkin, a cold sneer on his lips.

As soon as Jia Dongxu picked up the pumpkin, he shivered.

"It's not cold today, why did I shiver?"

Jia Dongxu was suspicious, looking left and right.

"Jia Dongxu, what are you doing sneaking around in the backyard?"

Xu Damao's voice rang out from not far away.

"Is it any of your business?"

Jia Dongxu broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he was facing away from Xu Damao, and his body blocked the view, so Xu Damao couldn't see the pumpkin in his hands.

Jia Dongxu panicked and stuffed the pumpkin under his clothes, not caring if it would stain them.

When he got home, Jia Zhangshi had long been impatient.

"Why are you so slow?"

"It's just a few steps to the backyard, can't you be faster?"

Jia Zhangshi complained while taking the pumpkin.

"Such a good, big pumpkin, and only a small piece is rotten; Wan Ping'an really doesn't know how to cherish food, the little brat."

Jia Zhangshi cursed while digging out the rotten part.

She didn't want to dig out too much, so she only dug out the most severely rotten part; she didn't want to dig out the parts that showed signs of rot.

"What are you looking at?"

"Why aren't you boiling water?"

"We're having steamed pumpkin today too!"

Jia Zhangshi urged Jia Gensheng.

Jia Gensheng was familiar with the routine and soon lit the fire to boil water.

Jia Zhangshi personally put the pumpkin in the pot to steam.

"Add more firewood, why is it so slow?"

Jia Zhangshi was too eager to eat.

She felt Jia Gensheng was stingy with the firewood, and the water was slow to boil; when would the pumpkin be steamed?

"This is the fastest speed."

"It can't be faster!"

Jia Gensheng shook his head.

"You're really useless; boiling water to steam pumpkin, and it's still not boiling after so long."

Jia Zhangshi complained.

Amidst her constant complaints, the water finally boiled.

The fragrance of the pumpkin came out.

"So fragrant, this is the scent!"

Jia Zhangshi inhaled the fragrance of the pumpkin deeply and intoxicatingly.

"No wonder it sells for one yuan each; the fragrance of the pumpkin Wan Ping'an grows is just so different from what others grow!"

Jia Zhangshi sighed with emotion.

She had to admit that when it came to farming, Wan Ping'an was invincible!

"Is it done yet?"

"Still not done?"

"How much longer do I have to wait?"

The water was boiling.

Jia Zhangshi was even more anxious.

Jia Gensheng was helpless; Jia Zhangshi was lazy, gluttonous, and foul-mouthed; if he had a chance to choose again, he would rather choose an ugly woman than marry Jia Zhangshi!

"Stop rushing me, it's steamed!"

Jia Gensheng lifted the lid.

Before he could take the pumpkin out.

Jia Zhangshi reached out and snatched the biggest piece of pumpkin.

"Ouch, it's burning me."

"Jia Gensheng, do you want to burn me to death so you can marry a new wife?"

Jia Zhangshi cursed and jumped around!

Jia Gensheng was speechless; the freshly steamed pumpkin was hot and needed to be taken out to cool before eating; didn't Jia Zhangshi even have this common sense?

It wasn't that she didn't have it.

She was just too greedy!

Too impatient!

"It's all Wan Ping'an, that little beast's fault; if it weren't for his pumpkin, would I have been burned?"

Jia Zhangshi put the pumpkin down.

Shaking her hand while cursing Wan Ping'an.

Jia Gensheng let out a sigh of relief; as long as she wasn't cursing him, it was fine.

Jia Dongxu swallowed his saliva, looking at the fragrant pumpkin; having seen Jia Zhangshi's example, he didn't rush to grab any.

While waiting for it to cool.

The three of them felt like a day was a year.

"It's ready to eat!"

Jia Zhangshi picked up the biggest piece of pumpkin and took a huge bite.

"Delicious!"

"So delicious!"

"Soft, sticky, and sweet!"

"It's worthy of being a one-yuan pumpkin!"

Jia Zhangshi's mouth was stuffed with pumpkin, her voice muffled, barely distinguishable.

Jia Dongxu also took a piece, took a bite, and nodded.

Jia Gensheng took the smallest piece; he wanted a big one, but was afraid of being scolded, so he could only take the smallest; he took a bite, and his eyes lit up immediately.

The three members of the Jia family cursed Wan Ping'an while frantically devouring his pumpkin.

Like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds.

Soon, the big pumpkin was more than half gone.

"Jia Gensheng, are you a starving ghost reincarnated?"

"Who told you to eat so much?"

Jia Zhangshi saw there wasn't much pumpkin left and got angry!

She unleashed a frantic verbal assault on Jia Gensheng.

Jia Gensheng felt wronged; Jia Zhangshi ate the most!

Jia Zhangshi alone ate more pumpkin than he and Jia Dongxu combined!

"Wan Ping'an, that little beast, he eats such delicious pumpkin every day; isn't he afraid of bursting?"

"Even if he doesn't burst, he'll definitely choke to death!"

Thinking of Jia Zhangshi eating delicious pumpkin every day, she felt unbalanced; after cursing her husband, she started frantically cursing Wan Ping'an.

"Do you think there will be more rotten pumpkins tomorrow?"

Jia Zhangshi thought of a possibility.

Her eyes shining as she stared at Jia Gensheng.

"Mom, when they find rotten pumpkins, they definitely dispose of them immediately; the rotten pumpkin brought to the Sihe Academy was just a fish that slipped through the net."

"The place with the most rotten pumpkins must be Wan Ping'an's six acres of land."

Jia Dongxu slapped his thigh.

"My eldest son is smart."

"Jia Gensheng, you go to Wan Ping'an's six acres of land tomorrow to pick up rotten pumpkins!"

Jia Zhangshi nodded frantically.

Jia Gensheng nodded too.

After eating the pumpkin Wan Ping'an grew, he felt addicted after just one bite.

He couldn't eat any other pumpkin anymore.

There's no fear of bad goods, only the fear of comparison!

It was the same for pumpkins!

While they were planning to go pick up rotten pumpkins, the Deaf Old Lady in the backyard happened to go out to use the toilet.

She passed by the Jia family's door.

"The whole courtyard is filled with the fragrance of stir-fried pumpkin."

"That little beast Wan Ping'an, he really deserves to die, he should go to the eighteenth level of hell; not only did he not give me any pumpkin, why won't he sell me any?"

"Everyone else is eating pumpkin, and I can only smell it."

"Isn't he doing this on purpose to make me crave it?"

The Deaf Old Lady cursed.

"Sigh, no, I must eat the pumpkin Wan Ping'an grew."

"Tomorrow, I'll have Zhonghai find someone else to buy one at a high price; if Wan Ping'an won't sell to me, I'll buy it from someone else!"

The Deaf Old Lady made up her mind.

The pumpkin Wan Ping'an grew was too fragrant!

She wanted to resist, but didn't have enough willpower!!!

"Huh, why does the Jia family have the scent of the pumpkin Wan Ping'an grew?"

"Wan Ping'an said he wouldn't sell to the Jia family; did they buy it at a high price?"

"I remember now, Jia Dongxu was sneaking around in the backyard just now, looking like he was bending down to pick something up; it must be a pumpkin Wan Ping'an dropped."

"How is this any different from stealing?"

The Deaf Old Lady approached the Jia family's door.

She was craving it.

She wanted to eat pumpkin right now!
