Zeng Qing took out his money without hesitation. He had already taken out a few hundred taels of silver. Was there a need to consider so much for a few hundred copper coins?
After sending Zeng Qing off, Jiao Yuying pulled Su Li into the house.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Su Li asked.
Jiao Yuying said in a low voice, "Daughter, your father and I have decided to plant chili peppers on all our family's land. We will still grow crops in the paddy field."
Planting those things in the fields was not useful at all. They could not earn a few copper coins a year, and they worked themselves to death all day. Since chili was so profitable, why didn't they plant chili?
Moreover, they still had a way out. If the chili harvest was not good, there was still food in the field, they did not have to worry about starving to death.
