The Yang Brothers, including Yang Baotian, did not go out.

Yang Laoer was also staying at home.

It was really early in the morning, and they were being blocked at the door and cursed, and then someone threw dung at their home, which was so humiliating.

Yang Laoer had lived for so many years and had never been so embarrassed.

Sun Jinhua sat under the eaves crying: “This is too much bullying, right? Our vegetables are not necessarily sold to him. This buying and selling is all about mutual consent. Who knows where he had a problem and got caught, why must he blame it on our vegetables?”

Fan Zhili also felt uneasy.

She complained a bit to Yang Baozhu: “Little sister, look at the kind of people you’ve found. In future, if you’re looking for vegetable vendors, don’t find those unreliable ones. They come and eat and drink with us, and it ended up like this.”

Yang Baozhu didn’t accept the blame: “Elder sister-in-law, can you say that with a clear conscience? Is this my fault? Wasn’t it because I saw our vegetables were not selling well that I tried hard to find a market in the city? How did I know what kind of person he was? Weren’t you quite happy with selling the vegetables back then? You even praised me at that time. Now that something went wrong, you put the blame on me. That’s not fair.”

Sun Jinhua also sided with Yang Baozhu.

She jumped up and spat at Fan Zhili: “Shameless, you are. You have no ability yourself and let your sister stand out for you, and now you blame my Baozhu. I see you are not blaming Baozhu, you are blaming me. Baotian, Baotian, come quickly and see your wife. She is driving me to death. I birthed and raised you with great effort, and now you brought back someone like her to upset me.”

Yang Baotian quickly ran over when he heard the shouting.

When Fan Zhili saw Yang Baotian coming over, she immediately started crying too.

“Baotian, when I married you, I never asked for food or clothes. I serve the elders and take care of the children at home. I keep all the good things for this one and that one. What am I doing it for? Isn’t it just for the peace and harmony of the family? Mother is an elder, so I can’t speak to her. Little sister calls me sister-in-law. Can’t I say a few words? What is this? I say a few words and you all want to turn the world upside down on me. This is not treating me as one of your family, is it? I’ve been married here for so many years. Even if there’s no achievement, I’ve got hard work. So how come I end up being neither an insider nor an outsider? I don’t want to live anymore.”

Fan Zhili cried loudly, directly drowning out Sun Jinhua’s voice.

Sun Jinhua was so angry that she slapped her legs while falling on the ground: “Such a mischief-maker, how did our family end up with such a troublemaker?”

Yang Baotian couldn’t find the right way to persuade either side.

He was sweating anxiously.

Finally, it was Yang Laoer who came over and said: “Alright, stop crying, aren’t you embarrassed? Baotian, get your brother, and hurry up to clean up the manure in the yard. Can’t you smell that horrible stench?”

The Pei family finished their meal, and Xiao Yuan took some hot water to the field to help Zhao Chuan.

Anning followed him out and tied a scarf around Xiao Yuan: “It’s cold today, take care of yourself.”

“I know.” Xiao Yuan smiled and touched Anning’s cold hand: “Your hands are so cold, go back quickly, don’t catch a chill.”

Just then, the sound of crying and arguing came from the Yang family’s side.

Anning glanced towards the Yang family’s home, covering the faint sadness in her eyes with a smile.

After sending Xiao Yuan off, Anning turned and said to Liu Dalian: “Mom, tomorrow I’ll buy a down jacket for everyone and get a brightly colored one for you. You should wear it and walk more often towards the Yang family’s side.”

Liu Dalian understood what Anning meant, and she agreed with a smile.

Because of the issues with the Yang family, the Pei family didn’t have much gossip spread about them anymore.

In the following many days, everyone was talking about what’s going on with the Yang family.

Yang Baozhu was full of anger, and she was still pondering how to outsmart the Pei family again. But another situation made her completely anxious.

The vegetables in the Pei family’s warm greenhouse had all fruited; the cucumbers were still flowering and bristly, looking so fresh, the tomatoes were also fruiting, the beans visibly growing, and there were also eggplants, green peppers, and other vegetables, the white, green, and purple hues looking just pleasing.

However, the vegetables in the Yang family’s warm greenhouse were just sprouting stems and leaves, and although flowers bloomed, they just wouldn’t set fruit, or there’d be just one or two fruits on several plants, so sparse that it left people feeling discouraged.

There were several acres of land, and only so few fruits, clearly leading to a big financial loss.

Yang Laoer was so worried that he couldn’t sleep night after night.

Yang Baotian was so anxious that he had multiple sores on his mouth, which hurt so much that he couldn’t eat.

Sun Jinhua was also worried with a frown.

Yang Baozhu was even more anxious, to the point that she had developed many pimples on her face, finding them so unsightly that she didn’t even dare to go out.

Now, Sun Jinhua could only say to Yang Laoer: “His father, can’t you go ask the Pei family what’s wrong with our vegetables not setting fruit? Today, when I passed by the Pei family’s field, I glanced through the greenhouse, and their vegetables are growing well. The fruits are so abundant that they’re almost crushing the plants.”

Yang Laoer was smoking: “I’m not going. If you want to go, you go.”

“Let little sister go then.”

Fan Zhili sat on the side eating sunflower seeds, a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth.

Yang Baozhu looked up and glanced at Fan Zhili: “If I go, what’s the point? I’m just a kid, they’ll just think I’m joking. This matter requires dad, the head of the family, to ask. Dad is the pillar of the family, and if he asks, it carries weight.”

Actually, what Yang Baozhu said made sense.

To go ask the Pei family about the secret to growing vegetables, is essentially asking for a favor. If they tell you, you’re indebted to them.

Yang Baozhu was the youngest in the family; she couldn’t represent the Yang family at all, and the Pei family wouldn’t take her seriously. She wouldn’t get an answer by asking.

And Yang Laoer being a man and also the eldest, if he goes to ask, it shows that the Yang family is asking the Pei family for a favor, which carries weight. If the Pei family doesn’t want to make enemies, they would generally tell Yang Laoer.

“Little sister doesn’t want to deal with it, huh.”

Fan Zhili tossed the sunflower seeds she was eating and began to nitpick: “Who said they wanted to grow vegetables back then? Who said it wasn’t a problem? Now that the whole foundation has been thrown in, the vegetables aren’t growing and little sister has some responsibility in this.”

Yang Baozhu lowered her head, silently shedding tears, and after a while she said: “I also thought it would be good for the family. Didn’t I think we could make more money for the family? Second brother and third brother haven’t married yet, and building a house and marriage later all need money. Who knew…”

Yang Laoer was filled with anger, so he threw away his cigarette: “Alright, I’ll go ask.”

He took a basket of eggs and two bundles of noodles and went to the Pei family.

Yang Laoer waited until evening when Pei Laoshi returned home to go over.

The Pei family was bustling at the time.

Pei Laoshi, Zhao Chuan, and Xiao Yuan were sitting in the main room chatting while watching TV, and Liu Dalian was cooking in the kitchen with the girls.

Everyone hadn’t eaten well at noon, so they planned to have a good meal at night.

Anning wanted rice, so Liu Dalian cooked a pot of rice and also roasted several big pieces of sweet potatoes on the stove. An Xian and Anjing were preparing and cooking vegetables, Anning was sitting by the fire, and the kitchen was lively and warm.

The ladies were chatting away when they heard the voice of Yang Laoer.

“Mr. Pei, are you home?”

Pei Laoshi came out of the house: “I’m here, why did you come? Come in quickly and have a seat.”

Upon hearing this voice, Anning quickly threw down the firewood: “I’ll go and take a look.”
