Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 172: Meet the Pei brothers again and find out about their situation

Qiao Jianer felt a chill that whizzed into his cuffs and collar, wandered throughout his body, and even penetrated through his skin into his internal organs.

She thought that such a stable business could continue and become a steady source of income, but she never expected that the situation began to change.

"Then nothing will happen recently."

"Probably not in the near future. Our southern country has a rainy season. It's troublesome for anyone to come. At least the rainy season won't come." The uncle said with almost certainty.

Qiao Jianer felt that he must know more than he said.

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

The sun was scorching in the sky and the sky was blue and vast. Even through an umbrella, one could feel the faint heat wave.

But Qiao Jian'er rubbed his arms. He felt a little cold. There was an indescribable crisis, and he didn't know where it was lurking or when it would come.

The two uncles finished eating the peanuts and left, leaving behind only an empty jar of wine.

Qiao Lian'er was in a bad mood and was afraid of being seen by his family, so he got into the carriage and thought carefully.

The rainy season will not come, so she still has a few days of safe period to make money.

After two years of preparation, if a war really breaks out and material aid is needed, it won't be so urgent and we can hold on at the beginning.

So, she had time to build the house.

But she wants to speed up the process.

Holding this money in your hands at present is an insecurity factor.

Everyone knows that the Qiao family has made a lot of money. If someone in the village accuses them, it will be terrible.

Although most people in the village are good, there is also a small group with various ulterior motives.

Qiao Jianer took a deep breath. She really hoped that these were just rumors. In this way, after the house was built, the family could continue to save money.

When Qiao Jianer came out of the carriage, his expression returned to normal.

After being busy for a while, I seemed to see two familiar figures at a street intersection not far away, but in a blink of an eye, they disappeared again.

"Brother, the Southland is truly vast and rich in resources."

These two people are the Pei Zhujin brothers.

Walking across this street and turning into another, Pei Shijiu picked up an interesting toy from the stall and fiddled with it while speaking.

"Yes, there is a famine in the north this year, and many fields have no harvest. But here in the south, the weather is good and the harvest is good, which is pleasing to the eye." Pei Zhujin had a faint smile on his face.

"But brother, why did Father ask us to investigate this? After traveling for several months, my bones are almost falling apart."

Pei Shijiu said as he bought the things.

"I don't know about that. Father sent us out to investigate the people's sentiments, perhaps to train us. We just need to report truthfully when we return."

Pei Zhujin's face was filled with emotion: "I have learned a lot from this trip, and I also saw that the people's lives are really not easy."

There was a hint of compassion between his brows.

Seeing Pei Shijiu chose this stall, he was attracted by another stall and ran over.

"Brother, father wrote to us a few days ago, asking us to go back quickly. You can't play around anymore. It's time to speed up your journey."

"No, big brother. The South is much more fun than the North. We rarely come here, so today, let me shop to my heart's content in Yongguan County and try some local specialties. I haven't had enough yet."

"Let's rush back early tomorrow morning."

Pei Shijiu hugged Pei Zhujin's waist and looked up at him, looking like a puppy.

"Alas, brother, you are so willful. You wanted to stay here and play yesterday, and I already indulged you. You even refused to leave this morning." The young man frowned slightly.

"Brother, look at my hand. I lost a bet yesterday, and I was scratched by rocks and vines while walking upside down. I need to heal it."

Seeing this, Pei Shijiu started to act pitiful.

His outstretched hands were indeed covered with scratches. Even though the girl had left yesterday, he still gathered all his strength, gritted his teeth, and walked up the slope headfirst until he reached the road.

The young man sighed helplessly: "Alright, I'll indulge you for one more day, but don't act like a jerk tomorrow, or I'll drag you into the carriage."

Riding in a carriage is not like driving a horse, so it’s no big deal if your hand is injured. The boy was just too lazy to expose the truth.

As I was walking around, I came to Changqing Street from another intersection.

I saw a snack stall with many customers queuing up, it was very lively.

Pei Shijiu's eyes lit up.

"Brother, the food there must be delicious." As he said this, he quickened his pace.

When they arrived at the stall, they were surprised to see that the person setting up the stall was the little girl they met yesterday morning.

The little girl was processing the ingredients with quick hands and feet, not stopping for a moment.

She lowered her head and did not see them.

Pei Shijiu was just about to say hello.

"You two, please line up behind the crowd, first come, first served." Qiao Zhizhi said with a polite smile.

Pei Zhujin pulled Pei Shijiu and walked behind the crowd.

The boy stared at the snacks on the stall that he had never seen before, and saw the people who bought them eating them with relish, his mouth watering.

"Brother, I've never seen these foods before."

"Yes, the southern country is rich in products, so it's normal that you haven't seen it before."

After finally getting their turn, Qiao Jianer looked up and saw them face to face.

Qiao Jian'er was stunned for a moment, but the two men seemed to have seen her a long time ago.

"Hello, little girl. I didn't expect that we would meet again."

Pei Shijiu raised his hand to greet him, revealing his hands covered with scars, which were only symbolically wrapped with two pieces of thin cloth.

Pei Zhujin had a handsome face and nodded with a smile at Qiao Jianer.

"I thought I would never see you again. Now that you're at my stall, feel free to take whatever you want to eat." Qiao Jianer brought over some oil paper and put a little bit of each food on it for them.

"Little girl, are you giving us food for free?" Pei Shijiu asked.

"Meeting is fate. It's rare for you to come here, and I'm asking you for money. That's too unfair," said Qiao Lianer.

After all, I just got twenty taels from someone yesterday.

When the two brothers heard her say this, they began to treat her as a friend.

The two got the food, tasted it, and found it was delicious.

"Ms. Qiao, I wonder where the things you sell are grown?" Pei Zhujin asked.

"We don't have these in Daze Country. We buy them from foreign merchants."

"Where are the foreign merchants from?"

"From Danqu Country." Qiao Jianer said naturally.

Pei Zhujin nodded. There were many kinds of crops in Danqu Country, many of which could not be named. Only a few of them had been passed on to Daze Country so far.

It is a blessing to be able to eat here.

They ate while talking to Qiao Jianer, eating very slowly and showing no intention of leaving soon.

Finally, Qiao Jianer changed the plates for them and they all sat down at the table.

Both brothers admired Qiao Jianer's talent. Besides, they were leaving tomorrow and it might be a long time before they would see each other again, so they couldn't help but want to say a few more words.

Qiao Jianer thought of what the uncle said not long ago.

As if asking casually, "In the north, in the capital, everything is peaceful, right?"

Pei Zhujin looked at her, seemingly not quite understanding why she asked this question.
