Chapter 38 Earthworm
At this time in the Qiao family, Qian was drying clothes in the yard, and Xiaohua and the other two were digging the soil at the door to find earthworms to feed the chickens.
Little Achu was sleeping in the room, and Mrs. Qiao Chen was sitting beside him, watching him and doing needlework. As little Achu grew a little older, his clothes needed to be altered to be a little bigger. If she made more money in the future, she would go to the market to buy a piece of cloth to make a new dress for her eldest grandson.
At this time, Zhen Yue was tending to the crops behind the house. There were bugs on the cowpea vines. Zhen Yue used her special power to cover them, and the cowpea vines instantly turned into carnivorous plants, strangling the bugs to death, and the bugs became fertilizer directly.
She touched the leek and thought she should be able to harvest another batch tomorrow. As for the tomato, she had eaten it long ago because there was only one and it was gone after two meals of scrambled eggs with tomato. Everyone in the family thought it was delicious and they poured the juice over the rice without having to eat any other dishes.
She has become more and more adept at using her supernatural powers recently. As long as she doesn't use them too much, there will be no problem. After all, the area behind the house is not very big.
In front, Qiao Dashan had borrowed some tools from the village chief and was working on a stone mill. A pig on the side was still grunting as it ate radish leaves.
Over there, Lin Xiaohu saw Xiaohua and the others catching earthworms, and then he immediately went to the doorstep of his house and dug up several earthworms. After digging, he returned to the house and did something, and when Xiaohua and the others were not paying attention, he threw the earthworms next to them, and then ran away quickly.
Xiao Hua looked up and saw Lin Xiao Hu's back. She was a little scared, and then she saw several earthworms on the ground. "Xiao Cao, Xiao Nian, earthworms!"
Xiaocao and Xiaonian immediately ran over and grabbed the earthworm in their hands, "Sister, we can go feed the chickens now."
Xiaohua: "Wait a minute, I'll dig a little more. You put the earthworms in the jar first."
"Okay."
When Zhen Yue came back from the back of the house, she saw Xiao Hua and the others holding a bowl of earthworms. Zhen Yue took a look and said, "Wow, this earthworm is so big."
Xiaohua and the other two laughed, "Aunt, this appeared suddenly."
Zhen Yue: "What do you mean by appearing suddenly?"
Xiaohua: "We were digging for earthworms, and it appeared on the ground by itself. But I saw Xiaohu at the time, he ran very fast."
Zhen Yue became alert when she heard Lin Xiaohu's name, "You said you found this earthworm after you saw him?"
Xiaohua: "There are several earthworms on the ground."
Zhen Yue narrowed her eyes: "Really? Bring me the earthworm."
Zhen Yue looked at the earthworms wriggling in the bowl and didn't see anything, but she felt something was wrong. "Don't feed the chickens yet. Just feed them with radish leaves today."
Xiaohua: "What about the earthworms?"
Zhen Yue: "Put it outside the house to dry in the sun. The stick will be exposed to the sun when it goes out."
Xiaohua didn't understand why, but she did it anyway. She didn't know why she couldn't dry the flowers in the yard.
In the afternoon, Qiao Chao and Qiao Er came back. When they arrived at the door, Qiao Er saw a piece of firewood on the block next to the door. He got out of the car, picked it up and put it back in the corner, saying, "Why is there a piece of firewood at the door?"
Xiaonian saw his father coming back and immediately ran over, "Dad."
"Hey!" Qiao Er picked up his daughter and said, "Dad bought you some maltose today." He took out a few maltose pieces and gave one to his daughter first. Then he waved to Xiaohua and the others and gave one to each of them.
"Thank you, second uncle."
Xiaohua was eating maltose when she saw the firewood sticks that Qiao Er brought back. Wasn't this the one she used to dry the earthworms?
Xiaohua ran out of the door and found that all the earthworms she had been drying were gone, and the stick was also gone. She was so scared and anxious that she started crying, "Wa wah wah..."
The others were unloading the donkey cart. When they heard the crying, they looked over immediately. Qiao Er was also confused. Wasn't he eating candy? Why was he crying?
"Xiaohua? What's wrong?" Mrs. Qiao Chen immediately walked over and wiped her granddaughter's tears.
Xiaohua pointed at the stick that Qiao Er had picked up, "The earthworm, the earthworm is gone."
When Xiaonian and Xiaocao heard this, they ran out to see, and sure enough, the earthworm was gone. The two children started crying, "Wow, wow, wow, the earthworm is gone."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Zhen Yue walked out of the house and asked, "What earthworms are missing?"
Xiaohua pointed outside the door and said, "The earthworm is gone."
Zhen Yue knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. Qiao Er also put Xiao Nian down and scratched his head. "I saw a stick on the pier at the door. Someone said that someone put the firewood there, so I took it back. But I didn't see the earthworm."
Qiao Er looked at Qiao Chao and said, "Brother, right? You didn't see any earthworms either, did you?"
Zhen Yue waved her hands, "It doesn't matter if it's gone. I can just catch it next time. It's not like we have no food at home."
Xiaohua sobbed and wiped away her tears, "I'll catch it tomorrow."
Xiaocao and Xiaonian also nodded.
Zhen Yue turned around and looked at the things Qiao Chao had bought, including grain, rice, flour, a pound of meat, two large bones, vegetable seeds, and some cakes.
Finally, he handed the remaining 600 coins to Zhen Yue and told everyone about the new customer.
Zhen Yue took the money and distributed it to everyone first, and then gave the rest to Qiao Chenshi, "If there are more and more customers in the future, we won't have enough dishes to sell."
Qiao Chao: "Then just supply it to a few of them."
Zhen Yue shook her head, "My biggest fear is that by then, no one will be able to afford to offend us."
When Qiao Chao heard this, he thought of a question. Now that they were in a low position, what if a noble asked Zhen to grow vegetables for them? Should they refuse or not? If they refused, could they afford the consequences?
Zhen Yue: "Invite the village chief to dinner in a few days and ask him how much it costs to rent the land." It's time for them to expand their planting.
Qiao Dashan: "Can you handle it?"
Zhen Yue: "You just need to do it as usual, and I'll take care of the rest. If you feel too tired, just hire someone. If it's ten cents a day, someone should help you turn the soil and water it, right?"
Mrs. Qiao Chen immediately said, "Why do we need to hire anyone? We can do it ourselves." Ten cents a day, so expensive. Their family had just bought a donkey and only had two or three taels of silver left.
Qiao Chao thought of another question, "But how much would it cost to rent it?"
Zhen Yue: "Ask how much first."
Qiao Chao: "Okay."
The next morning, Zhen Yue heard a scream, "Ah! My chicken!"
Zhen Yue frowned and sat up. She looked at little Ah Chu first. The little guy was still asleep. Qiao Chao had already dressed and was ready to go out. As soon as he heard the voice, he knew who it was. "It's Ma. It seems something happened to her chickens again."
Outside, after hearing the noise, Qian ran to the door to see what was going on. Soon, many people came to watch the fun at Ma's house. When Qian saw someone passing by, she also ran over quickly.
When I arrived at the Lin family's house, I saw Ma sitting on the ground crying and shouting that her chickens had been killed again.
Soon someone called the village chief over, and after a quick check, they found that the chickens were foaming at the mouth. "It might be poisoned. Let's get a doctor to check it out."
