Qiao Chen and Qian were originally in the kitchen. When they heard that Zhen had actually asked Qiao Da and the others to fan the piglet, they were also surprised, "Is this... is this piglet okay?"

Qiao Dashan: "It's okay. The old man said that the piglets can be raised better this way."

Qiao Chenshi: "Really? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Qiao Dashan: “I don’t know either.”

Qian: "You'll know after you raise her." Although she doesn't know whether it's true or not, she doesn't know why she trusts Zhen so much now.

After all the trouble, everyone took a shower and prepared to rest. Qiao Chao went to return the iodine to the village chief's house. He also gave him a copper coin. Although the village chief kept refusing, Qiao Da still handed it to him and left.

Aunt Jin: "I don't need a single penny. I won't ask for his money next time he needs it."

Qiao Feng: "That's fine."

On the way back, Qiao Chao couldn't help but go to the river. He looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he took off his shirt and went into the river to take a bath. He kept rubbing his hands hard, and he felt that his hands were really dirty.

He had actually used soap nuts to wash his hands at home before, but he still felt that they were not clean enough.

Zhen Yue was already lying on the bed when suddenly the door was pushed open and Qiao Chao came back from outside with wet hair. She saw that his clothes were also wet and it seemed that this man must have gone to take a shower somewhere.

Qiao Chao took out clothes from the closet and prepared to change, but before changing, he glanced at Zhen Yue. Zhen Yue knew what he meant, so she turned over and closed her eyes. After a while, she heard a hissing sound behind her.

Not long after, Qiao Chao turned off the lights and went to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Zhen Yue didn't care about him, she was tired and slept very well.

On the other side, the Lin family heard no movement all night, and no one came. Lin Hu was so sleepy after guarding for half the night that he went to bed in the morning.

Qiao Chao, who had not slept all night, got up very early. When he walked out of the room, he saw Qiao Dashan also got up, "Boss, I'll go with you today."

Qiao Chao wanted to refuse but after thinking about it he agreed.

The two washed their faces, went to the kitchen, carried the deer on their backs, and left the village in the dark. At first, they were thinking of selling it in the town, but Qiao Chao thought it would be better to sell it in the county.

So he turned around and headed for the road to the county town. Qiao Dashan was still puzzled, "Boss, where are you going?"

Qiao Chao: "Let's go to the county town and sell it at a higher price." This family is really poor. Qiao Dashan's back is slightly bent from working so much. As they have become someone's sons, they still have to take good care of the family.

Qiao Dashan agreed after thinking about it, and the two walked all the way to the county town. It was already dawn, and they finally arrived in the county.

There were already quite a few people on the street at this time. Qiao Dashan thought that Qiao Chao was looking for a stall to sell his things, but he didn't expect that he went to where some rich people lived in the county town.

"Boss... where are we going now?" Qiao Dashan felt a little scared to come to these places. After all, these were places where nobles lived. The high walls and the stone lions at the door made him feel scared just by looking at them.

Qiao Chao: "Zhen said to find a wealthy family to sell it to." Anyway, it's right to bring Zhen Yue out.

When Qiao Dashan heard this, he didn't dare to say anything. He had to do what the old man said, otherwise there would be trouble.

Qiao Chao randomly picked a family that looked relatively wealthy and knocked on their back door. A servant came to open the door a moment later and asked, "Who is it?"

Qiao Chao handed him the things in the backpack and said, "Hello, does your master need this?"

When the servant saw the little deer, he thought that the mansion might be hosting a banquet recently, so he immediately asked Qiao Chao to wait for a moment, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go ask."

Qiao Chao: "Okay, please."

The two of them waited on the side. After waiting for a long time, the door didn't open. Qiao Dashan was a little worried, "Boss, maybe they don't want us anymore?"

Qiao Chao: "Wait a little longer."

After a while, the door opened and it was the same servant again. He handed over a silver ingot and said, "Give it to me. Our master wants it."

Qiao Chao immediately handed over the backpack, and then took the silver. The heavy weight actually made him happy. "By the way, there are two wild fruits in it. They are for you, big brother. Thank you. Wild fruits are not valuable, I hope you don't despise them."

The servant saw the fruit wrapped in leaves hidden in the basket. Although it was worthless, the thought made him think that the man was a good person. He put the fruit in his pocket and picked up the deer. Before he went in, he said, "If you have good prey in the future, come here first. I will ask my master for you."

Qiao Chao: "Okay, thank you, brother."

Qiao Dashan didn't dare to breathe. After they walked out of the wealthy place, Qiao Dashan asked cautiously, "How much was the silver just now?"

Qiao Chao took out the silver and said, "About five taels." He didn't expect there were actually five taels. He thought it was at most two taels.

"Hiss!" Qiao Dashan took a breath and looked around, asking him to hold the silver tightly in his hand, "Hurry up and keep the money. Don't let anyone steal it."

Qiao Chao: "Let's go buy some things first." When he got up in the morning, Zhen Yue also woke up, grabbed his hand and said a lot of things. The first one was to ask him to take two wild fruits. If he went to a wealthy family to sell them, he should remember to give the wild fruits to the person who delivered the message.

The second was to let him buy something after getting the money. As for what to buy, Zhen said a lot. Fortunately, he had a good memory and remembered it all.

Qiao Dashan: "What to buy?"

Qiao Chao: "Chicken!"

The two of them went to buy a few chickens, and then bought some pork, mainly fatty pork, then bought a piece of cloth, salt, soy sauce, and finally some rice, flour and some cakes.

The backpack was full of things. It was almost noon and their stomachs were growling with hunger. Then they bought two large meat patties and a few meat buns to eat. At first, Qiao Dashan said that they would just eat a vegetarian one, but Qiao Chao insisted on buying meat ones.

After eating, the two hurried back home.

At this time in the Qiao family, Qiao Sanyi went out early in the morning to cut grass and feed the pigs. He promised his sister-in-law yesterday that he would take good care of the piglets. Fortunately, the piglets looked in good spirits today, so it seemed that the incident did not cause much harm to them.

No one went to do farm work today. Qian washed and dried clothes early in the morning, Qiao Chen cooked in the kitchen, Qiao Er chopped wood and fetched water, and the three little ones helped here and there occasionally. Only Zhen Yue was the most idle. After getting up, she sat under the eaves to rest.

They ate chicken again at noon, but because Qiao Dashan and Qiao Da were not there, they only ate a little bit, leaving most of it for when the two came back in the evening.

Mrs. Qiao Chen was a little worried when she saw that the two hadn't come back yet. "Will something happen to them? Why did they take so long?"

Qian: "Dad and eldest brother went together, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Zhen Yue: "They may have gone to the county town, so it took a long time." This was just Zhen Yue's guess.

It was not until the afternoon that the two men finally came back, and Mrs. Qiao Chen immediately asked them why they were so late.

Qiao Dashan: "We went to the county town, which is a bit far."

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "What Mrs. Zhen said is indeed correct. You really went to the county town."

When Qiao Chao heard this, he raised his head and looked at Zhen Yue, and happened to meet her eyes.
