Although Madam Kong knew that Ye Muyu had used the mountain pepper to make new food, what about it?
Madam Ye had made a lot of new food, but there were not many that were actually sold.
It was inevitable that the new food they made this time would be eaten by their own family and would not be sold. In this case, even if the mountain pepper tree were planted. Other than the trunk being worth some money years later. There was really no profit.
Therefore, she treated Ye Muyu planting the pepper tree as a joke and was not willing to spend money to buy it.
Madam Sun did not have much money at all.
The second branch's usual harvest was from farming. This year, they had earned some from selling medicinal herbs. Now, they were all saved up to send their children to school. In this way, the family did not have much spare money.
Even if Madam Wang wanted to buy it, she was short of money.
