Xiao Jingting came back later than Xu Muan. As soon as Xiao Jingting came back, he found that there were nearly 20 clusters of grapes missing.
As soon as Xiao Jingting looked at the grapevines in the courtyard, he knew that it must have been Xiao Xiaofan who stole the grapes.
In fact, the lack of a dozen or twenty clusters of grapes in the courtyard was inconspicuous when there were hundreds in the yard, it was just that the grape picker was too arrogant and keep picking grapes from one place till it was picked clean, so it was hard not to be found out.
Xiao Jingting looked at the empty grapevines and shook his head. The grapes there were the most prosperous, but now they were all bare.
Xiao Xiaofan “stealthily” observed the movements of Xiao Jingting, turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiaodong anxiously, “Dad seems to have found out, will he come to hit me?”
“Who makes you so stupid to focus on one place where you picked grapes?” Xiao Xiaodong didn’t have a good temper.
Xiao Xiaofan tugged at his sleeve, a little aggrieved, “That place has the biggest grapes, ah!”
Xiao Xiaodong glared at Xiao Xiaofan angrily and scolded, “You silly boy.”
Although Xiao Xiaofan was stupid, he was very enthusiastic. When he found that the grapes were delicious he called Xiao Xiaodong to eat them together. Xiao Xiaodong also thought that they were delicious and Xiao Xiaofan volunteered to pick two more strings.
Xiao Xiaodong felt that he had already picked all the grapes anyway, and it was all right to pick two more strings. How could he know that he would be addicted to eating and picked more than a dozen strings at once, from the same place he picked before? By the time Xiao Xiaodong found out, the grapes had all been picked up and the vines there were still in a mess.
When the grapes were picked, they couldn’t be glued back, so Xiao Xiaodong and Xiao Xiaofan shared the grapes with each other.
“Sorry! The little child was ignorant and stole your grapes.” Xu Muan walked to the courtyard and was fsincerely apologized to Xiao Jingting.
Xiao Jingting didn’t care, “It’s all right. They’re my sons, and I won’t blame them no matter how many grapes they ate.”Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong had been behaving themselves well. The children on the earth were becoming more arrogant nowadays and spoiled rotten at home. They would always get what they wanted.
When Xu Muan heard Xiao Jingting words, he could not help but feel a little guilty about his previous vigilance against Xiao Jingting. It seemed that Xiao Jingting had really changed.
Xiao Jingting picked a bunch of grapes for Xu Muan and said, “Have a taste” The plants in this world were growing fast, he had cast the growing Technique again in the morning and the grapes were ripe, he had originally thought that it would still take a long time.
Xu Muan tasted one and said, “It tastes good, and it seems to improve the spiritual power.” Xiao Xiaofan left two clusters of grapes for Xu Muan. In fact, Xu Muan had already tasted them in advance.
“How much do you think this grape can sell for?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“It shouldn’t be a problem to sell two or three hundred copper coins. If you sell more, the price should be lower.” There are nearly 400 clusters of grapes in the yard which, according to conservative estimates, should sell for 100 silver.
Xiao Jingting nodded, two to three hundred coppers was quite a lot.
“You want to sell grapes? What would you do after you sell the grapes?” Xu Muan asked.
Xiao Jingting laughed awkwardly and said, “I shouldn’t have pawned out my family fields in the past. However, I can get the fields back by paying back some interest. Then I guess I will buy back those few mu of upper-grade fields first.”
Only the top grade fields could grow high-grade spirit plants, usually those who had top-grade fields at home planted them carefully. Who would be like the original body owner that would pawn it?
“I think if we have money, it would be better to pay off the gambling debt first.” Xu Muan suggested, if they pissed off the gambling house, they would be in big trouble.
“I don’t have any gambling debts.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan was stunned for a moment before he said, “No gambling debts? Then when you met Qiu Bai before…”
“That’s a lie, I’m no one to him, what does it have to do with me if his oldest brother wants a wife? However, it wouldn’t be good to refuse him directly so I used this as an excuse.” Xiao Jingting said lightly.
Xu Muan looks at Xiao Jingting and only to felt that Xiao Jingting was not Xiao Jingting anymore.
Xiao Jingting turned his head, looked at Xu Muan and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Xu Muan smiled and said, “Nothing.”
“By the way, I’m going to town tomorrow to sell grapes, do you want to come with me?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes!” Xu Muan secretly thought: Xiao Jingting’s grapes should make a lot of money when they are sold but selling the child can only get thirty silver, Xiao Jingting can make good money like this, so he shouldn’t be interested in earning money from selling the children.
“By the way, that Wang Erhu who came before…”
Xu Muan heard Xiao Jingting mention this person and couldn’t help being on guard, “What’s wrong?”
“I think this man seems to have an ulterior motive for me. I used to gamble a lot and sold the land by his instigation. I think he may be asked to frame me up. If he comes to make trouble tomorrow, you better help me take care of him.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “I got it.” It was this Wang Erhu who had urged Xiao Jingting to sell his children. Xu Muan was already been displeased with this person.
