There was no shortage of food on the way to escape, and the lucky lady was busy farming.

Chapter 70 Monopoly Business
I still wasn't careful enough. If Yang Mingli knew the growth time of Chili Pepper, he would definitely be suspicious of her now.

It seems that from now on, you have to be more careful with the things you buy in the mall, and you can no longer rely on your advantage as a time traveler to think that others are ignorant.

Yang Mingli smiled, leaned over, took out a notebook from the bedside cabinet, flipped through a few pages, found the information he wanted, and showed it to the two of them:

"When I went south a few months ago, I saw someone selling this thing in the south. I took it and tasted it at that time. I thought it tasted very delicious. Although it made my mouth numb when I tasted it, I still felt the aftertaste. , very good.”

He signaled Song Rutang to show him the chili pepper, and Song Rutang quickly handed it over.

Yang Mingli took one off, smelled it, took another bite, put it in his mouth, and then smiled after a while:

"Yes, that's what it tastes like."

Facing Mrs. Yang's puzzled gaze, Yang Mingli knew that she was asking him why he didn't do this business.

Yang Mingli explained:

"The prices of these things in the south are astonishingly expensive. I don't dare to make up my mind to sell them to us."

After staring at the peppers for a while, Yang Mingli was very happy. The pain in his leg had long been forgotten. He was in a good mood and said with a smile:
"Okay, now, if we have this in our own hands, we might be able to monopolize the business of this thing in our land. But we don't know whether this thing is easy to grow or not?"

Song Rutang thought for a while and found an excuse to reveal some clues:
"I did some research some time ago, and I saw that the seeds inside it are somewhat similar to the seeds on the side, but I don't know if they are seeds?"

"I really don't understand this thing. I'll write to my friends and ask them some other time."

As Yang Mingli said this, he thought of something, slapped his head and said:
"The road is blocked by heavy snow. Your third aunt said that the road leading to other places was blocked yesterday, and you can't get out for the time being. How about we do some research on our own first?"

Song Rutang agreed and said with a smile:
"I happen to have the same idea. I've seen it grow little by little these days, and it has some bosses. I want to try it myself. I hope my third uncle can help me more."

"That's natural. I'll write the letter first and see if I can find an opportunity to send it. If you have an idea, try it yourself first."

Song Rutang nodded and spent a few points from the mall to buy a nursery encyclopedia.

Several people were immersed in discussing the chili pepper, and heard a noise coming from outside, and then Yang Pinqin's voice saying hello to Mrs. Zhang rang out.

Song Rutang and Mrs. Yang looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.

Yang Pinqin must have come back with news, and Yang Mingli couldn't be allowed to know about it.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong somewhere?"

Yang Mingli thought he had made a mistake somewhere, so both the grandfather and grandson stopped talking and stood up, feeling a little nervous for a moment.

Song Rutang stood up first and found a reason:
"No. Third uncle, Tang'er suddenly suffered from abdominal pain and resigned first. Please take care of yourself and let third uncle know when there is news about Tang'er's nursery."

"okay."

Yang Mingli stared at her blankly, then stood up, hugged Chili Pepper and walked out the door without looking back. Then Mrs. Yang also stood up:

"Why does Tangbao have abdominal pain? It's really worrying. I have to go and have a look."

Then he turned around and walked out the door.

This time Yang Mingli was even more confused.No, there is no worried expression on his mother’s face!
What little tricks are these grandfather and grandson doing?Why can't he understand?

Yang Mingli had deep doubts in his heart, so he took the crutch that Zhang found for him from the bedside, and moved step by step to the window with the crutch.

*
Outside, Yang Pinqin asked Mrs. Zhang at the door and found out that Mrs. Yang and Song Rutang were discussing business in the third uncle's house, which made her feel a little more at ease.

Since they can talk to Third Uncle about business at this time, maybe Grandma and Tang Bao can find a way.

Seeing the two people walking out, holding pots with bright red fruits in their hands, Yang Pinqin became more determined in his inner thoughts.

He was no longer so anxious now, and smiled at Song Rutang:
"What is this? It's quite novel."

Song Rutang shushed her and quietly led her to the wall. He looked around and saw that Yang Mingli didn't follow, so he brought the pepper to her:
"Look, what do you think of something that can cheer up our family?"

Yang Pinqin shook his head:

"The government has said that the contract has been finalized and the deposit has been drawn. The buyer's money has also been handed over to the second aunt. It is impossible for us to get it back empty-handed unless we can make up for the money paid by the buyer."

"It's exactly what I thought."

Old Mrs. Yang sighed and took the account book to Yang Pinqin:
"I have calculated the items in our warehouse and the silver taels accumulated over the years. Excluding the ones your second uncle took away, we now only have 40 taels of silver in hand, which is a shortfall of five taels."

Yang Pinqin looked at the account book. There were so many things on it, which one was not the hard work of his grandfather and grandmother?

She had known about the seller's property for a long time. Everyone in the Yang family except the third uncle knew about it. The whole family had been busy this morning with the funeral and the property. To be sad, it must be everyone. All.

The resentment against the initiator of this matter is even deeper, and there is also some resentment towards Yang Pinrou, who has not said anything these days.

Shaking his head and trying to get rid of these bad thoughts, Yang Pinqin clenched his hands:

"I have to go to my second aunt's house later, we can't just let it go!"

After suffering such a huge loss and losing all his family wealth, Yang Pinqin became more and more angry as he thought about it, and he also made up his mind.

Even if grandma doesn't agree, she has to go secretly by herself, and she has to come back no matter what, and she can't suffer the loss of being dumb!

"I definitely have to pay it back. I just need to settle the matter of buying a house first. Otherwise, even if it passes, I won't have much confidence."

Mrs. Yang also felt a little depressed.

If the shop hadn't been transferred to the rival's name, selling a few shops would have made up for the shortfall. However, Zhu took advantage of them not knowing and sold everything in the house, and they couldn't get it back even if they wanted to. .

Song Rutang was suspicious of how Zhu could do this. After thinking for a while, he said slowly:
"Perhaps when I was fleeing from famine, I was in a panic on the road, stole our things, and found an agent to sell them. I just didn't know that it could be hidden from us for so long, and even after such a long time, the other party didn't come to pick them up. What's more, Why?"

"Escape all the way, plus go to prison, who has time to care about this matter...wait, prison?"

As Mrs. Yang was talking, she suddenly discovered something was wrong. Thoughts flashed through her mind, and her tone suddenly became much higher:
"I remembered, she must have sold the family property at that time!"
