When the door opened, and she saw the limping figure of Zhang Gengshan, Sun Xiujin immediately thought of that exceptional silhouette dressed in dark colors, with the figure of an ape and the waist of a wasp—the limping man had followed him. A surge of jealousy sprouted in her heart. Could it be that Pei Qin, seeing no hope with Young Master Shen, had seduced another man? But just by looking at that man's silhouette, one could tell he was no ordinary person—he could even attract Pei Qin, blind as he was!
Later in the afternoon, after taking a nap, Pei Qin went to find Sun Quanliang, ready to dig up sweet potatoes, and along the way, she hired some villagers to help.
The lands near Bear River were all quite fertile, well-maintained with top-quality soil. Sweet potatoes planted there could yield as much as three thousand catties per acre.
