Chapter 0033 The Search (2 / 2)

“If I can pick all these apples and bring them back, I’ll be able to sell them for two taels of silver at least.”

Nowadays, Chu Qiaoqiao’s mouth is silver, although it’s a bit vulgar, but since she married over, it really has improved their family’s poor status quo.

Before Chu Qiaoqiao married over, they only hunted a lot and sold a lot of silver when they could spare to keep only wild game to improve their meals, and on weekdays they usually lived on wild vegetables.

But nowadays, Mor Changhe still hunts like in the past, only that the wild game that got back, after being processed by Chu Qiaoqiao, can be sold at double the price.

Mor Changhe looked at the tree full of fruits and couldn’t help but frown, saying rather seriously, “I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult to pick these fruits back.”

After Stranger Changhe’s kind reminder, Chu Qiaoqiao also realized the problem.

But soon Chu Qiaoqiao saw a new business opportunity!

Next to the large apple tree sprouted a small one

Tree.

Chu Qiaoqiao squatted down and raked the soil on the ground with her hand, realizing that the small apple tree had already grown independent roots and didn’t need to rely on the big tree to grow.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Qiaoqiao carefully peeled back the soil and tried to dig out the small apple tree.

But she had so underestimated the hardness of the soil that it took only two picks for her nails to crack.

In pain, Chu Qiaoqiao drew back her hand, tears just contained in her eyes.

Seeing this, Mor Changhe put down the things in his hands, first nervously checking Chu Qiaoqiao’s injuries, and after instructing Chu Qiaoqiao not to continue moving around, he then reached out to help Chu Qiaoqiao dig.

“You be careful, don’t hurt your hand like I did.”

Stranger Changhe nodded gently.

His hands didn’t stop moving, and soon he had dug up the little apple tree.

Under Chu Qiaoqiao’s instructions, Mor Changhe carefully moved the fruit tree saplings out and carried them back home just like that.

“Isn’t this a hunting trip? How come he’s carrying back a tree?”

When Yu saw Chu Qiaoqiao and Mor Changhe returning, she busied herself to welcome them and asked with a smile.

“I asked Changhe to carry it back for me and prepare to plant it in the yard, so that when it bears fruit in the coming year, it can be taken to the marketplace and sold, and will be able to fetch a good price.”

Hearing Chu Qiaoqiao talk like this, Yu was half-convinced by all that he had said.

But Chu Qiaoqiao hadn’t given their family a lot of silver during this period of time, and although Yu had doubts about the

confused, but did not say so.

After that, Mor Changhe followed Chu Qiaoqiao’s method and planted the apple tree in the courtyard.

Only after everything was ready did Chu Qiaoqiao urge Stranger Changhe to wash his hands.

She, on the other hand, silently returned to her room, because when she was picking the soil earlier, she broke her fingernail, as the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to one another, and nowadays she was in pain and those hands were starting to tremble.

She thought about pulling out the broken nail with her hard teeth and letting it grow a new one on its own; after all, those broken nails would have to come off on their own eventually.

Only she had just touched her nails, and already the pain was so great that tears were about to fall from her eyes.

Just as she was debating what to do next, Stranger Changhe took some things and walked straight in.

“You ……”

Chu Qiaoqiao looked at the Stranger Changhe in front of her with a bewildered face and asked tentatively.

Without waiting for Chu Qiaoqiao to finish her sentence, Mor Changhe placed the herbs on the cabinet, followed by half squatting in front of Chu Qiaoqiao, carefully lifting her hand up.

“Ahh! Ouch!”

Stranger Changhe only just touched Chu Qiaoqiao’s nails, Chu Qiaoqiao’s side already had tears in her eyes, yelling out pain.

“Bear with it!” Stranger Changhe knew the pain of ten fingers, so he seemed extra careful when treating Chu Qiaoqiao’s injuries.

Stranger Changhe merely used a small wooden board to fix it, and then put some healing herbs on it.
