Chapter 59 - Honesty

Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian decided to buy the pork tenderloin. Because they had bought so much, the owner of the meat stall had also built two large bones. The meat on the bones had been shaved clean, and normally sold to others for only three or five cents.

Gu Nian planned to stew a large-bone radish soup, and just happened to buy ginger from the market.

Then she would have a sweet and sour pork tenderloin. Unfortunately, there was no starch left before the sweet potatoes and potatoes appeared, so she could only use flour and eggs to make a paste for the time being.

Then there was the whole eggplant box and stir-fried cabbage.

A family of four, three dishes and a soup were enough.

“Mom, Sister, come and see!” At this time, Gu Xin and Gu Shouxin were standing by the vegetable field.

Gu Xin bent over and put her hands on her knees.

Gu Shouxin looked at the vegetables in the field in a daze.

The two of them went to the old house to return the ox-cart. Gu Xin was thinking about the vegetables in the field after they came in. So, as soon as she entered the house, her eyes were on the vegetable field.

Hearing this, the mother and daughter came out of the kitchen.

“Mother, Sister, look. The cucumber and pumpkin vines are growing. They’re about to bloom. The pepper shoots have grown taller, the cabbage has grown, and the radishes…” Gu Xin said happily.

Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian looked at each other and then at Gu Shouxin.

The meaning was obvious. You were the one who had organized the vegetable field yesterday. You were also the one who had scattered the seeds. Even the water had been watered by you this morning.

So, 9,000 years old, what Golden Fingers did you have that you didn’t tell us?

Gu Shouxin blinked innocently. Yes, he was the one who had made the field, he had scattered the seeds, and he had watered the water. But, he hadn’t expected this thing to grow so fast!

“It’s so surreal! Could it be that our land is a treasure field? But it hasn’t been like this before?” Gu Nian said.

She firmly believed in science, but she could wear books, and the vegetables in the ground were growing like crazy. It made her doubt what she had learned before.

“I don’t want to look at it anymore. If it grows, so be it! Anyway, we don’t have to worry about food anymore. I’m going to go cook now!” Gu Nian felt that she couldn’t look at it anymore. Otherwise, she would doubt her life.

“Husband, shall we go inside and have a chat?” Cai Xiaolian looked at Gu Shouxin suspiciously.

“Okay!” Gu Shouxin was helpless, but he also felt that this matter should be discussed.

Gu Shouxin and the others had left. Gu Xin looked at the vegetables in the ground with great satisfaction.

If a jade bead was placed in a basin of water, then the crops in the ground would ripen overnight.

If a jade bead was placed in a well, the water in the well was more than the water in the basin, so the effect was not that great. From morning till now, it was equivalent to overnight. When there was more water, the crops would grow slower.

Gu Xin was very happy that she had learned this trick.

She thought happily for a while and went to the kitchen to help light the fire.

“Xin Xin, are you very happy?” Gu Nian asked as she looked at her sister, who had been smiling in front of the kitchen door.

The female lead was indeed the female lead. How could she be so calm about such a strange thing?

“That’s right! Sister, aren’t you happy? Our land is growing so fast. We don’t have to eat wild vegetables. We can even use these vegetables to make things to sell. We can return the silver to father. No one will bully us in the future!” Gu Xin looked up. She looked at Gu Nian calmly.

That was exactly what she was thinking.

She felt that she could tell her family anything except for the jade beads.

She had no idea how shocked her family was that jade beads had allowed the vegetable fields to grow so fast.

Her magnanimity caused no one in the family to suspect her..
