Qiao Jianer suddenly became alert, wondering if these two uncles were still planning to kill to silence the witnesses.

They didn't kill her just now, perhaps because they felt pity for her, or perhaps because the water in her hand was useful to them.

But now they came to their senses and thought that she might have heard their secret, so it would be better to cut the grass at its roots to prevent future troubles.

Thinking of this, Qiao Lian'er's heart was in his throat, and he quickly returned through this alley.

She ran very fast and caught up with Uncle San and his friends before they reached the street behind.

"Jian'er, why are you so anxious? You're sweating." Qiao Yunni took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Qiao Jian'er's forehead.

"Everyone, please be careful, someone is following us."

Qiao Jianer lowered his voice.

"Everyone, please don't look around, so as not to alert the other party."

The faces of the Qiao family members suddenly tensed.

Only then did they realize that Qiao Jianer turned back to see the situation, not to buy anything interesting.

"Jian'er, why are they following us? Have we offended anyone?" asked Qiao Laosan in confusion.

If we talk about offending someone, it’s the Song family and the Shen family. It can almost be said that the two families have no contact with each other until they die.

But they don't have the ability to find someone to follow them, and even if they come, Jianer will recognize them. Could they be people sent by the Shi family?

If the Shi family wanted to take action against them, it would be very dangerous. After all, they have plenty of money to bribe people.

They will not offend the rich and powerful, but they will not sit idly by and wait for death.

"Just now, I was in the abandoned house and accidentally overheard their secret. They discovered me. They originally let me go, but now they are following me again."

"What? So you were in danger in the house." Qiao Yunni's heart tightened like an old mother, and her face was full of anxiety, even though what happened just now was over.

"I, as a mother, am damned. If you don't come out for a while, I should go check on you."

"It's all my fault. I thought you might be relieving yourself in there, so I even asked your big and small brothers to wait a while before going over."

Qiao Yunni was filled with regret and held Qiao Jianer's hand tightly. Her hand was slightly cold.

"Are you okay, Jian'er? You looked fine, but they beat you and scolded you."

Qiao Yunni said so much at once, and Qiao Jianer didn't have any chance to interrupt.

The boss walked quickly in front, and they were whispering behind him and couldn't help but turn around.

"Boss, we are following you." Qiao Laosan quickly apologized with a smile.

"Mom, they really didn't give me any trouble." Qiao Jian'er said, "It's just that they're following us now, so we have to be careful."

"When necessary..." Qiao Jian'er's eyes flashed coldly: "We must strike first."

"How can we take the initiative? How many people are there?" asked Qiao Dameng.

"There are only two of them, but they are strong and well-trained. We can't be careless. Let's carry the wood first and wait and see what happens." said Qiao Jianer.

When they heard that there were only two, the Qiao family members' faces were obviously relieved.

Even if they are two skilled warriors, they are not such a big threat.

At this time, Yang Lao Da and Yang Lao Er couldn't help but sneeze at the same time.

"Brother, we are strong and healthy, and the sun is so hot, how come we sneeze?" Yang Laoer was surprised.

"Could it be that someone is saying something bad about us?" Boss Yang also touched his nose.

When we arrived at the boss's warehouse, there were many craftsmen busy at work on the large construction site outside. Some were cutting stones, some were firing bricks and tiles, and some were carving wood. Their business was diverse, and everything needed for construction was available here.

"Don't look around. The brick-making and tile-making, as well as the stone-cutting here all require unique techniques that cannot be leaked to others." The boss said seriously as soon as I came in.

The reason why he only needed so few people was because he had hired too many people to do the work before, which led to the leakage of the tile-making technology he had just discovered.

So for him, the fewer people the better. He would rather increase the price than increase the risk.

Everyone quickly lowered their eyes.

The boss took them to several piles of processed wood.

These wooden materials, including purlins, rafters, beams, and pillars, are stacked together in different categories.

"Your mission is to deliver all this wood to the south of the city before dusk tonight."

Everyone was a little surprised that they could carry so much in half a morning and an afternoon.

Even a mule can't pull so much.

After taking a look at the expressions on their faces, the boss laughed and said, "Don't complain about being tired. After delivering all this wood, each of you can earn an average of one or two taels of silver per day."

“This is something many people wish for.”

Hearing that there were so many, everyone was eager to try, their energy boiling.

"You two try your strength first and see how many pounds you can carry." The boss said to Qiao Yunni and the other man.

"A pillar weighs two hundred pounds, a beam weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, and a rafter weighs thirty pounds."

Qiao Yunni: "Let me try one pillar and one rafter first."

Then he walked over.

"Come on, Mom."

"Come on, aunt." Da Meng and Xiao Meng shouted together.

"Come on, sister."

Qiao Yunni first slowly lifted the pillar, then let it down, letting the middle part fall on her shoulders. She exerted force, gritted her teeth, and lifted up the heavy pillar.

And with the other arm, he clamped the rafter firmly.

The boss's eyes lit up: "Sister, you are really good, walk a few steps and see."

Qiao Yunni walked quickly, as if she was carrying not a pillar on her shoulders, but something weighing about fifty kilograms.

"No problem, I think I can get another thirty pounds."

"Boss, can you give me the price for two and a half trips?"

The boss had already prepared to make a replacement, but he was very happy to see Qiao Yunni was so capable.

"Okay, I've never seen a female strongman before, so I'll give you two and a half."

Everyone in the Qiao family was stunned.

They didn't expect that Qiao Yunni was so strong.

As expected of the Qiao family, even the women have extraordinary strength.

The uncle felt very stressed when he saw this situation.

He tried it and found that carrying 260 kilograms allowed him to walk faster, but adding more weight would slow down his efficiency.

In this way, he can only calculate the price for two trips.

He is not as good as this girl.

Originally, he was the strongest man among all the men waiting for work on the street.

I couldn't help but marvel in my heart that such talent is really hard to find.

As for Qiao Xiaomeng, although he is young, he also carries 260 kilograms.

In order to make up for the lack of weight for the family members and to prevent the boss from feeling that they were losing money, Qiao Laosan and Qiao Dameng gritted their teeth and added thirty kilograms to their shoulders.

"Okay, let's go. Come back soon." The boss waved at them.

Everyone carried the bundled wood and set off quickly.

The eldest and second eldest Yang hid in a place, watching the Qiao family carrying such heavy wood at great speed, and their jaws dropped in shock.

"Brother, is this family the reincarnation of a cow? Even the woman is almost carrying 300 kilograms."

"Maybe, it really is."

"Uncle San, Mom, I'm going to take a walk around the street to get familiar with it." Qiao Jianer said to his family.

How could Qiao Yunni feel at ease? "Jian'er, didn't you say someone was following you? How could I leave you alone?"

"Mom, don't worry. They are not following us now. Maybe they just misunderstood." Qiao Jianer said this, but was thinking in her heart.

She had to find a way to get rid of those two people to prevent future troubles.
