Not long after, a small groan was heard from the woods.

"Go back and tell Ma that she doesn't know if she still remembers what I said last time. Tell her to be careful when she goes out. The same goes for your good son! Humph! And you, if you can't control your family, Mr. Qiao, you'll cripple his penis next time!" This was Zhen Yue's voice.

Qiao Chao: "How about just discard it now?"

Lin Shi, who was tied up, opened his eyes wide and shook his head, his eyes full of fear. His mouth was also tied and he could only make hmm hmm sounds.

Zhen Yue: "Let's wait until next time. I don't have any tools right now."

Qiao Chao looked a little regretful. "Okay then. I'll listen to you."

After kicking Lin Shi once more, Qiao Chao let him go and said, "Go ahead and complain if you're not afraid of something happening to the other members of your family." Qiao Chao bared his teeth at him, and Lin Shi immediately nodded in fear.

Then Qiao Chao and Zhen Yue walked out of the woods together. When they returned to the field, Qiao Er was surprised to see them. "Where did you go? Sister-in-law, didn't you say you were going back?"

Zhen Yue: "Oh, I still think it's better for us to go back together. I'm not feeling well. I'll sit down and rest for a while. Qiao Da will carry me back later."

Qiao Er: "Sister-in-law, please sit down and rest. We will be ready soon."

"Ah."

Lin Shi returned home covered in wounds. Ma looked at the bruises on his body and cried, "This is too much bullying. I must tell the village chief!"

Lin Shi stopped her immediately, "Don't go. Qiao Da said that if I go to complain, it will be bad for you... and Zhen Shi asked if you remember what she said last time."

When Ma heard this, she remembered that she was beaten by Zhen last time when she went to the mountainside to pick wild vegetables. At that time, Zhen seemed to say that if she provoked her again, her son... Ma suddenly shuddered, "What should we do now? That crazy woman Zhen can do anything. Will our son..."

Lin Shi: "Take Xiaohu back to your parents' home for a few days, and don't show up in front of Zhen recently. In the future... ignore them."

Ma: "Okay, I'll pack my things right now."

The Zhen family is so scary now.

Qiao Chao carried Zhen Yue back home. When Qiao Chen saw her, she thought something had happened to Zhen Yue again. "What happened?"

Zhen Yue: "It's okay, I'm just tired."

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "Then have a good rest. I'll take care of the child, so you don't have to do any housework."

Zhen Yue: “Yeah.” She didn’t do much housework to begin with.

Because of Lin Shi's matter, Qiao Chao was afraid of what he might do next, so he did not go to the county town in recent days. However, after knowing that Ma took the child back to her parents' home, Qiao Chao knew that Lin Shi must have taken his words to heart, and he did not need to be so on guard.

The stone mill at home has also been made, but since it is not yet harvest time, everyone feels that it is of no use for the time being.

The soybeans planted by Zhen Yue didn't mature so quickly, but she asked Qiao Chao and Qiao Er to buy some when they went to the county town with the vegetables.

After cutting a basket of leeks, radishes, and some mustard greens, Qiao Chao and Qiao Er set out for the county town.

This time they made a few hundred coins again, and the Song Mansion actually asked them to bring more next time. It turned out that the Zhong Mansion next door to the Song Mansion also wanted it, and so did the Huang Mansion on the next street.

It turned out that the day after Qiao Chao and the others brought the dishes over, Song Yanting, the young master of the Song family, brought his classmates back and stayed for dinner. They all liked the radish on the table very much, but when they returned home and ate it again, they found that it was not what they thought.

Later, she couldn't help but ask Song Yanting, and found out that it was sent by a farmer. Later, he said that his family also wanted it. It was a small matter, so Mrs. Song told Song Tiesheng to wait for Qiao Chao and others to come and then tell them.

Qiao Chao and Qiao Er were of course very happy. There were more and more customers, how great was that?

After earning money, Qiao Chao and Qiao Er bought food, soybeans and other things, and then went back. Zhen Yue frowned when she found out, "It looks like we have to expand the planting." She looked at the soybeans, "Tomorrow we will use these soybeans to make tofu, and treat the village chief to dinner tonight."

Qiao Dashan: "Then we need to cut some meat back tomorrow."

Qiao Chao: "I'll go tomorrow. Dad, you go and tell the village chief tomorrow."

Qiao Dashan: “Okay.”

Zhen Yue: "Buy two more big bones and cook soybeans."

In addition to using soybeans to make tofu, Zhen Yue also used some soybeans to make bean sprouts. Originally, it would take several days for soybeans to sprout, but she just had to use her supernatural powers to make them sprout quickly.

The soybeans have been soaked long ago, and some of them have been ground into slurry using a stone mill. There is no need for people, as there are donkeys to grind it, and it will be done quickly.

Zhen Yue was not needed to make tofu. She took some soybeans into the house and started to make bean sprouts. Little Achu was lying on the bed beside her, turning over and playing. Occasionally he would cry because he had peed. Zhen Yue changed his diaper and continued to make bean sprouts.

In the afternoon, Qiao Chao bought the vegetables and Qian and Qiao Chen were also preparing in the kitchen. Zhen Yue also came out of the house with a handful of bean sprouts in her hand, "Wash them and stir-fry them with the meat."

Qiao Chen was shocked: "Where did these bean sprouts come from?"

Zhen Yue looked calm, "I used soybeans to induce labor. I used a secret method, and it grows fast."

When Mrs. Qiao Chen heard that it was a secret method, she didn't ask anything. No wonder Mrs. Zhen had been staying in her room all day and didn't come out.

Qian didn't expect Zhen Yue to be making bean sprouts in the room. She thought her sister-in-law was lazy and doing nothing today. However, she only dared to complain in her heart before. She didn't dare to say it in public. After all, she saved so much money now thanks to her sister-in-law.

Zhen Yue: "Hurry up and do it, the village chief will be here soon."

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "Yes, yes, yes. Come on, Mrs. Qian, go wash up."

"Okay, mother."

The table was set up in the living room, the dishes and chopsticks were already on it, and there was a small pot of wine. By the time Qiao Feng and Aunt Jin came over, it was almost time to eat.

The two looked at the dishes on the table, and they were exactly the same as last time, with large bones stewed with soybeans, steamed meat with tofu, stir-fried meat with bean sprouts, shredded radish, stir-fried mustard greens, leeks and eggs, a plate of peanuts, a plate of pickles, and a small pot of wine.

"Village Chief, Aunt Jin, come and sit down."

Qiao Feng looked at the yard of Qiao Dashan's house today. With the addition of a stone mill and a donkey cart, their lives were getting better and better. He looked at little Achu in Qiao Chen's arms. It seemed that he was indeed a lucky star.

"I heard that you want to rent land?" Qiao Feng asked after eating for a while.

Qiao Chao: "Yes, but I don't know how to rent this land?"

Qiao Feng: "There are about 20 mu of land available for rent in the village. The rent for top-quality land is 300 wen a year, and you have to pay 30% of the output. If you don't pay, you have to pay 500 wen. The rent for medium-quality land is 200 wen, and you also have to pay 30%. If you don't pay, you have to pay 300 wen a year. The rent for low-quality land is 100 wen a year, and you have to pay 30% of the output. If you don't pay, you have to pay 200 wen."

Zhen Yue suddenly said, "Where is Huangshan?"

Qiao Feng: "A barren mountain? You want to rent a barren mountain? You can't grow anything there."

Zhen Yue: "I'm just asking."

Qiao Feng: "For barren mountains, one mountain costs fifteen taels of silver per year."
