Originally, Foreman Cao was here to look at the base structure. The actual building of the house will start tomorrow.

However, after the meal, when Zhou Yu went to the homestead, he realized that the beetroots planted by the Lu family in the land were still in the ground!

Zhou Yu had already reminded them no less than three or four times. Yesterday morning, when he realized that they have yet to harvest the beetroots, he even reminded them again.

!!

He even told them that they were going to start building the house tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, they hadn’t finished their harvesting.

Zhou Yu was a little angry. He went straight to the Lu family and asked them to collect the beetroots immediately. Otherwise, he would inform the village chief of it.

Perhaps because he was angry, Zhou Yu’s words were a little harsh.

This time, the old woman from the Lu family was unwilling. She refused to harvest the beetroots no matter what. She even said that since he had bought this piece of land to build a house, he should buy all the beetroots in the field as well.

Because of this, the two families quarreled!

On the way to the homestead, Liu Fengfeng and the few children in the village talked all at once and told Zhou Xiaoli everything that had happened.

As soon as she arrived, Old Madam Lu’s shameless voice could be heard.

“There’s no such thing as taking only one part of it!”

“Let me tell you, you have to buy these beetroots today. Otherwise, I’ll lie on the ground. Don’t even think about building a house then!”

Zhou Xiaoli frowned, but she did not go forward immediately. Instead, she tied up the donkey cart before walking toward the center of the crowd.

Zhou Yu was so angry that his face and neck turned red. He clenched his fists and said angrily, “How can there be an unreasonable person like you!”

Looking at the blue veins popping out on his arm, Zhou Xiaoli did not doubt it at all that if it were not for the fact that the other party was a woman, her father would have punched her a long time ago.

“Father.”

Zhou Xiaoli called out to Zhou Yu and pushed through the crowd of onlookers to come to his side.

“Hey, you’re back so soon?”

Upon seeing Zhou Xiaoli, Zhou Yu patted his head in a daze. He felt some relief then, and his tone became gentler. “Did it not go well?”

“No, I came back straight after shopping.”

As Zhou Xiaoli spoke, her gaze fell on the old woman from the Lu family.

No wonder Zhou Yu was so angry.

Old Madam Lu was really shameless. She sat in the middle of their home base with a recliner and bedding beside her. It looked like she had all intention to fight with them to the end.

“Old woman Lu, you’re too shameless!” Lin Xiujuan’s disdainful voice sounded.

Lin Xiujuan came over with Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan was not eloquent. To put it bluntly, her character was a little weak. If she was half as fierce as Lin Xiujuan, she would not have been bullied by Lai Jinniang for so many years.

At this moment, she was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn’t open her mouth to speak. Hence, she followed Lin Xiujuan’s lead and tried to scold Old Madam Lu.

However, her aura was slightly weaker in comparison.

“Sister, don’t be shy. You should not be like this when scolding others. You don’t look imposing at all. You should put one hand on your waist and point at her nose with the other. That’s it. Open your voice and shout loudly.” Lin Xiujuan tried to teach her how to scold others.

Zhang Lan followed suit and shouted, “Madam Lu, you’re shameless!”

After shouting that, it was as if a door had opened. Then, she followed Lin Xiujuan’s lead and started cursing others.

Zhou Xiaoli: “…”

Old Madam Lu was not afraid at all. She shouted, “Mrs. Lin, what does this have to do with you?! You’re in such a hurry to speak up for the Zhou family. Has the Zhou family given you many benefits?”

“Pfft!” Lin Xiujuan became feisty. “Old Madam Lu, you’re full of farts. What a foul mouth do you have!”

“Look at your behavior. Everyone in our village knows that beetroots are not selling well this year. You’re deliberately extorting the Zhou family. Who would stand by and allow you to do that?!”

“You’re inhumane. Please ask your man to buy more makeup for you so that others would be able to tell where your butt and face are!”

Puff!

Zhou Xiaoli almost laughed out loud.

Ever since Lin Xiujuan stopped making things difficult for her, the way she scolds others has become very interesting.

Many people around them were discussing among themselves. They were all saying that the Lu family was really inhumane.

Even the village chief came upon hearing the commotion in the village.

The village chief, who had rushed over to act as a mediator, couldn’t help but criticize Old Madam Lu as well. “Lu family, what’s wrong with you? I reminded you a month ago. Why are the beetroots still in the ground?!”

“You can’t sell it yourself, so you want to force others to buy. How immoral!”

However, Old Madam Lu did not care at all.

No matter what others said, she refused to give in.

The village chief was furious and said fiercely, “This ruffian! Since she doesn’t accept it, Zhou Yu, just pull out these beetroots and build a house! If she doesn’t move, let her continue to lie down and build the house on her!”

As soon as the village chief’s harsh words left his lips, Old Madam Lu rushed home, took a knife, and rushed out.

“I don’t care. You have to buy the beetroots, or I’ll die here. You can build your house over my dead body!” She roared as if she had lost her mind.

As the saying went, it’s the little ghosts who were the most difficult to deal with.

The adage was right.

Just as Old Madam Lu was making a ruckus, Zhou Xiaoli looked at the beetroots in the field and said, “We’ll buy them.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

...

Some of the onlookers began to dissuade her.

Eat?

They would not be able to finish it, that’s for sure.

However, she had no intention of eating them.

Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu also looked at Zhou Xiaoli in confusion. However, since their daughter had spoken, they nodded in agreement.

“Okay, I’ll listen to my daughter.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers were a little surprised. The Zhou family doted on their daughter that much?

There were also many girls who were watching the show and were a little envious of Zhou Xiaoli.

It was unrealistic for them to express their thoughts at home, let alone make decisions.

Although Zhou Xiaoli had decided to buy the beetroots, she would not let the other party name the price. Therefore, she said pointedly, “We’ll calculate the wholesale market price now.”

There are bound to be people in the village who had sold beetroots before. Someone immediately said, “Beetroots are cheap now. One copper coin for one and a half kilograms!”

...

Zhou Xiaoli nodded. “Alright, we’ll do it according to the price of one copper coin for one and a half kilograms. However, you have to harvest them all immediately!”

“Otherwise, I can delay the building of the house until a few days later. What you have are beetroots, not rocks. It’ll rot sooner or later!”

Old Madam Lu originally thought that the price was cheap, but she considered that if she continued to force the Zhou family into a corner and they did not go ahead to build the house, her beetroots would indeed rot in the ground.

She immediately agreed. “Alright, I’ll harvest them now!”

With that, she ran back and called the entire family to collect the beetroots.

There were many men in the Lu family, but none of them were diligent. It was the first time that they had been diligent in harvesting beetroots.

In the afternoon, all the beetroots were harvested.

There was a total of 462 kilograms.

When the Zhou family went to take the beetroots, many people in the village followed them to watch the commotion. Many people sighed and said that the Zhou family had suffered a huge loss this time.

However, after returning home this morning, Zhou Xiaoli had told Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan her thoughts.

She wanted to use the beetroots to make sugar. Five kilograms of beetroots could produce about one kilogram of sugar.

The current market price of sugar was 100 copper coins per kilogram!

At that time, it would be a sure win for them!
