After the system ran, I took off with my family

Seeing the village chief leave, the villagers hurried home. They still had to discuss the matter of planting peppers.

Only Li Chuncao, Wang Daniu and their eleven-year-old son Wang Fugui were left on the open space.

"Mother, are we still growing peppers?" Wang Daniu scratched his head and asked in confusion.

Li Chuncao glanced at her silly husband, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but when she thought of the man's tall figure and handsome face, her heart couldn't help but be moved.

"Mother of the child?" Wang Daniu saw that she was in a daze and called her again.

Li Chuncao came to his senses and said angrily, "I heard you. Why are you yelling? We'll talk about the chili pepper tomorrow." After that, he walked forward quickly, leaving the father and son looking at each other in bewilderment. No one noticed that a petite figure left quickly.

The Lin family members were all speechless after listening to Qing He's report. Li shook her head and said helplessly, "We didn't offend her, so why is she so displeased with us?"

Lin Shuyue put down the teacup in her hand and said casually: "There are all kinds of birds in the forest. We just need to do our best and don't care what others say."

"Hmph, since she thinks so little of us, then we shouldn't repay evil with kindness. If her family grows peppers, we won't harvest them." Lin An snorted. He didn't want to put himself in a difficult position to help others.

The next day, not long after breakfast, Wang Youzhi came to Lin's house with a booklet.

"Mr. Lin, this is a list of the villagers who are growing peppers. It also lists the number of peppers each person is expected to plant." Wang Youzhi handed Lin An a thin booklet.

Lin An took the booklet and said with a smile: "Uncle Village Chief, you are being too formal. Just call me Lin An."

He opened the booklet and took a quick look. Most of the villagers chose to plant five or six mu of land. Only Liu Cuiping's family and the village chief's family decided to plant one acre of peppers.

After looking through it, he had an idea. Even though each family only planted five mu of land, the number of peppers harvested by hundreds of families combined was not small.

However, according to my daughter, even if the hot pot restaurant cannot use up all the peppers, it can be made into chili sauce and sold, so purchasing these peppers will not put her family in a difficult position.

After drinking a cup of tea, Wang Youzhi hesitated for a moment, and then told Lin An what Li Chuncao said. Before he finished, he said apologetically, "Lin An, she was wrong. I apologize to you on her behalf. If her family grows peppers, you don't have to pay attention to her."

After listening to Wang Youzhi's words, Lin An waved his hand without changing his expression and said, "Let's not talk about this spoiler."

Wang Youzhi saw that he was not surprised or dissatisfied at all. He knew in his heart that people had known about this for a long time. The Lin family was really powerful. He thought to himself.

After seeing Wang Youzhi off, Lin An returned to the backyard and told Li, Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuyuan what the village chief had said and the booklet.

"This village chief is quite frank." Li took the booklet and praised it.

At Wang Daniu's house, Li Chuncao quickly finished the porridge in the bowl, threw away the bowl and chopsticks, got up and went back to the house.

After Wang Fugui finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran away. Wang Daniu silently picked up a chopstick that had fallen on the ground, then cleaned up the bowl and chopsticks and went into the kitchen.

In the room, Li Chuncao rummaged through the drawers and found a pink dress from the bottom of the drawer. She couldn't wait to put it on. Then she sat down at the table and took out a small bronze mirror from the drawer. This bronze mirror was given to her by Wang Daniu when she first got married.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, with fine lines on the corners of her eyes. A sadness flashed through her eyes. Then she took out a box of rouge from the drawer, opened it carefully, scraped a thin layer with her fingernails, and spread it on her face. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror for a moment, nodded with satisfaction, and finally took out the hair oil and applied some on her hair...

After a cup of tea, she tiptoed to open the door, listened to the noises coming from the kitchen, and walked outside lightly. When she was out of the yard, she let out a long breath, then turned around and left without hesitation.

Wang Daniu stood at the kitchen door with a bowl in his wet hands, staring blankly at the yard gate which had not yet been closed, with a gloomy look on his face.

Li Chuncao avoided people all the way to the foot of the mountain behind the village. When she reached the foot of the mountain, her forehead was already slightly sweaty. She wiped the sweat off her face and walked towards the path leading to the foot of the mountain to the west.

This path is rarely walked by people. Li Chuncao felt both nervous and expectant, and his steps were sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

A quarter of an hour later, she arrived at the gate of the Lin residence. She looked up at the tall gate and the high wall that had become a flower wall. Her heart was pounding with panic.

After a while, she walked up and knocked on the door of Lin's house.

Qing Wu, who was in the gatehouse, heard the knock on the door, and hurried out of the room, removed the bolt and opened the door.

"Who are you?" Qing Wu looked at the strange woman in front of him with confusion. She was wearing a pink dress and had flushed cheeks.

Li Chuncao tried to calm down and said with a smile: "I am Li from the village. I want to talk to your old...wife about something."

Although Qingwu seldom walked around in the village, his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this woman. When he was about to ask her in detail, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Qingwu, who's here?" The person who spoke was Lin An who was about to go to the orchard.

Qing Wu bowed and replied: "Master, it's the villagers who are here to see Madam."

Li Chuncao at the door immediately straightened her dress and temples, pursed her lips, and noticed Lin An's gaze. She lowered her head slightly and said timidly, "Hello, Mr. Lin. I am Li from the village. My name is Chuncao."

The soft voice made Lin An and Qing Wu shudder at the same time.

Lin An frowned, looked at the half-awake woman, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you Li Chuncao?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin knows me?" Li Chuncao looked up at Lin An excitedly, but immediately realized that it was possible that the village chief had reported her early in the morning.

Thinking of this, she frowned, and then an idea came to her mind. She quietly twisted her thigh hard with her hand, and the pain made her face pale.

Her face was pale, she bit her lower lip, and looked at Lin An with tears in her eyes, "Master Lin, I was wrong last night. I shouldn't have said those words. I was blinded by jealousy."

Lin An was speechless as he looked at the pretentious Li Chuncao, and complained in his heart: The village chief said that she was a scoundrel and unreasonable, but he didn't say that she had a problem with her brain.

"Mr. Lin, please forgive Chuncao, otherwise I will kneel down forever." Li Chuncao took a step forward, his body shaky and about to kneel down, with a hint of stubbornness on his face.

Lin An was so frightened that he quickly took a step back. His eyebrows jumped and frowned even tighter. It was really unbearable to see such a strong body in such a posture.

He said with a straight face: "Stand still, don't stagger around, or someone who doesn't know would think our Lin family bullied you."
