My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire! - Chapter 40
After sending Gu Shouxin off, the mother and daughter started picking the chilies.
Gu Nian only wanted the red ones, so she asked Cai Xiaolian and Gu Xin to separate all the different colors.
“Mother, do you think we should find some other seeds and plant them in the field later to see if they’ll grow better overnight when we wake up tomorrow morning? Oh right, we should mix some cucumber leaves for the chicken to eat later and see if they’ll lay two more eggs in the afternoon,” Gu Nian suggested.
“If it has anything to do with this soil, then any kind of leaves will do. Why don’t we feed the radish leaves? There are too many of them, it would be a pity if they spoil,” Cai Xiaolian said.
“Mother, Sister, let’s feed the chicken with cucumber leaves! I’ll carry the radish leaves to Grandma’s place later and feed the pigs. Every year, Grandpa will give us a piece of meat!” Gu Xin thought of the old house.
“Okay.” Cai Xiaolian felt that this would work.

It was not that she and Gu Xin did not think about their elders, but they did not dare to go to the old house now. Moreover, in Cai Xiaolian’s memory, Grandma Gu was a little fierce, and sister-in-law was a little annoying. When they ate at the old house during the New Year, they would definitely quarrel.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The mother and daughter stopped in their tracks. Gu Xin panicked. She was afraid that others would come and see their vegetable plot.
“You guys continue picking. I’ll go!” As an adult, Cai Xiaolian was calmer than the two younger ones. She clapped her hands and walked towards the door.
“Cai Xiaolian, open the door! I’m bringing you something. I’ll throw it away if you don’t want it!” It was Gu Shouli’s wife, Mrs Zhang, who was knocking on the door.
“Oh no, Aunt is here. If she knew how powerful our land is, the whole village would know about it this afternoon.” Gu Xin panicked even more when she heard the voice.
“Don’t be afraid, Mother won’t let her see it. Let’s hurry up and take it off!” Gu Nian comforted her.
“It’s sister-in-law. What’s the matter?” Cai Xiaolian opened the door and asked with a sullen face.
In her memory, the original owner and Mrs Zhang did not get along well.
“Cai Xiaolian, what’s the meaning of you and Second Brother?” The Zhang family had a big belly and was holding a small cloth bag in her hand. When she saw Cai Xiaolian, she questioned her.
“What’s wrong with you? What are you giving me? Give it to me!” Cai Xiaolian was baffled.
“Pah! You shameless thing, you’re as shameless as Second Brother Gu. You owe money but you still don’t pay it back. What, you want to study and cheat your parents’ money? Let me tell you, Cai Xiaolian, you have already been divided out! Everything in the Gu family belongs to my son, Gu En, and the son in my belly. Your second son can forget about getting anything! You can’t do this…”
Bang!
Cai Xiaolian didn’t wait for the others to finish speaking and directly closed the door. She felt that this Zhang family was inexplicable.
If it weren’t for the fact that she was pregnant, she would have scolded them back!
Bang, bang, bang!
“Cai Xiaolian, stop pretending to be stupid! You must be feeling guilty! You’re an old hen who can’t lay eggs and can’t give birth to a son. Let me tell you, everything in the Gu family belongs to my son. You won’t be able to get a single cent! Gu Shouxin wants to pay off his debts? Don’t you have two big girls? Use them to pay off your debts! Gu Nian is already so old. She should be worth 50 taels! Gu Xin is so little. One look and you can tell that she’s short-lived. Selling her to someone as a maid…”
“Shut up!”
Cai Xiaolian couldn’t take it anymore. Why were all these women the same?
“Aiyo!”
Cai Xiaolian had just opened the door and said two words when she saw Lady Zhang clutching her stomach in pain.
Cai Xiaolian: “…”
‘I haven’t scolded her yet!’
‘You’re too good at pretending!’
