Chapter 74

Basically every time Li Shopkeeper came over, they could earn a tidy sum of money.

Seeing Li Shopkeeper\'s expectant look, Luo Ge smiled.

"Pears aren\'t ideal for making dried fruit, but they can be made into pear sugar or pear paste."

"I can try making them first, and Li Shopkeeper can come take a look at the results tomorrow. How about that?"

Upon hearing Luo Ge\'s words, Li Shopkeeper visibly heaved a sigh of relief.

Pear sugar, pear paste - these were things they hadn\'t tried before. After giving it some thought, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, go ahead and try, sister-in-law. I\'ll leave these pears here first and come back tomorrow."

"Okay."

After communicating with Luo Ge, Li Shopkeeper didn\'t linger and left.

Seeing the situation, Wang Sister-In-Law didn\'t stay long either. She bid Luo Ge farewell and went back next door.

Luo Ge tidied up her things briefly. Seeing that it was getting late, she started preparing lunch.

Gu Jinchen and the others had brought dry provisions to the mountain, so she only needed to make meals for herself and the two little ones.

She heated up the buns left over from the morning and quickly stir-fried a couple of dishes.

After the two little ones finished their lunch and had their afternoon nap, and went to the study hall, she slung a basket over her back and went to the town to buy the ingredients needed for making the pear paste.

Just before leaving, she suddenly recalled her husband\'s anxious look.

Fearing that he might return and worry when he didn\'t see her, she left him a note on the table.

This was the first time she had gone out alone, but since she was familiar with the route, she didn\'t feel too uncomfortable.

The monk fruit and lily that were needed for making the pear paste were basically sold at drug stores, so she could get everything she needed at one destination.

However, after some thought, Luo Ge decided to purchase them from three different places instead.

After buying the necessary ingredients and some meat and vegetables, Luo Ge headed straight back home.

But just as she was approaching the city gate, she came to an abrupt halt.

"Two taels, just take her away!" Li\'s Mother gritted her teeth and shouted at the man before her.

"Two taels? For a kidnapping? One tael at most, any more and she\'s not worth it!" The pockmarked man said dismissively, casting a disdainful glance at Li Zhaodi.

She looked just like an old yellow-faced woman, a used good who had already given birth to two children!

To ask for two taels of silver for that, even one tael seemed too much to him.

Everyone knew this woman was abandoned by her husband because she couldn\'t bear sons, and had to rely on her natal family, beating and scolding the children.

With all those flaws, who wouldn\'t find her distasteful?

He had only come to take a woman to play with and do chores, that\'s why he approached them in the first place.

"Just one tael of silver, and from now on she can never return to her natal home. You\'ll also have to draw up a deed for me, or else I\'m leaving. I still have other business to attend to, so don\'t waste my time."

Seeing that Li\'s Mother wanted to say something else, the pockmarked man cut her off directly.

"Mother..." Hearing the pockmarked man\'s words, Li Zhaodi panicked and called out urgently.

"..." Li\'s Mother frowned and looked at this unwanted burden that only brought losses.

"Deal! As you said, one tael!" She finally turned to the pockmarked man and shouted.

One tael it is! It\'s enough to cover expenses for a while.

After all, she\'s just a money-losing burden, keeping her is useless.

One hand to pay the money, one hand to take the goods, then they went to find someone to witness and draw up the deed.

Just like that, Li Zhaodi was sold off by her own mother like a piece of merchandise.
