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

The other members of the Qiao family were also wiping their tears and sighing.

Qiao Jianer didn't expect that there would be miasma on Leigong Mountain, let alone the primitive ancient forest.

No wonder when the Qiao family talked about going to Leigong Mountain, they all looked like they were ready to go. It turned out that their lives were really in danger.

"They are no longer in danger, but we won't dare go to Leigong Mountain anymore. The nearby mountains have almost been hunted clean. How are we, the Qiao family, supposed to survive?" Qiao Lao San shook his head.

Qiao Xier was no longer in the mood to make handkerchiefs, so she sat in the yard with everyone else. After a moment of hesitation and struggle on her face, she finally stood up.

"Grandma, how about I go to town and work as a maid for a wealthy family. That way, I can earn more money than embroidering handkerchiefs."

"Nonsense." Old man Qiao raised his face and scolded, making Qiao Xier tremble.

"No girl from our Qiao family can be a maid in another family. You think it's just serving tea and water, but there are so many things you don't see. Don't be too naive. Even if our Qiao family members starve to death together and go begging together, we will not let you go."

Many maids in wealthy families had to endure harassment from the male masters and male servants from time to time, and even lost their innocence, and had no place to vent their grievances.

Qiao Xier had never heard such harsh words before. She was obviously frightened, with tears in her eyes and she looked very aggrieved.

Old Mrs. Qiao pulled her to sit down and said, "Xi'er, don't blame your grandfather for speaking harshly. Being a maid is not easy. You have to endure a lot of humiliation. You are in the Qiao family now. Although life is a little difficult, everyone protects you and no one will bully you."

"Yes, your grandfather is doing this for your own good. We should get through this difficult time together. Don't make any other plans. Wait until two years later when things get better, and then we can discuss the previously arranged marriage with the Shen family and marry you off." said Qiao Xier's mother, Feng.

Qiao Xier wiped away her tears and nodded gently.

She knew that every word her family said was for her own good.

Qiao Yunni also made up her mind several times before she spoke with difficulty: "Mom, didn't we take away three taels of silver from there? We can still hold on for two or three months."

She had wanted to say this for a long time, but she didn't because the money was managed by her mother and she didn't want to overstep her bounds.

Given the current situation at home and the fact that she still owed the village doctor medical bills, she finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she immediately said seriously, "No, this is your dowry. It was before, it is now, and you will have to add a little more in the future. Even if you meet a suitable family, since it is your second marriage, they will look down on you a little. The best your family can do for you is to give you more dowry as a backup and let you have someone to rely on."

Qiao Lao San said, "Yes, sister, mother has kept these three taels of silver for you. You are still young and cannot live a lonely life like this. We will find a good family for you and let you have company. Family members are family members, and husbands are husbands. After all, they are different."

Feng said, "Sister, we are all very touched by your kindness, but we cannot touch your dowry. Father and mother felt guilty marrying you off to the Song family. Although you have just returned, your next family is already making plans for you."

Qiao Yunni didn't expect that everyone had this idea. Her nose felt sore and everyone looked blurry.

Second sister-in-law Wan: "Sister, don't think too much. It's not that we can't keep you at home. You can stay in the Qiao family for the rest of your life. Don't we need someone to support you? I'm just worried that you'll be lonely. It's a pity that you didn't have your husband's love and companionship before."

Qiao Yunni didn't think too much, she knew what everyone meant.

The more this happened, the more she wanted to cry.

Qiao Jianer walked up to Old Man Qiao and Old Lady Qiao and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Old Mrs. Qiao was in no mood.

Qiao Jianer patted the backpack beside him.

Old Mrs. Qiao took a look inside and saw that it was covered with something, but she seemed to smell a scent that made her heart move.

He gave Old Man Qiao a wink, and Old Man Qiao immediately stood up. After entering the main room, Qiao Jianer closed the door and winked at the yard with a cunning look.

The people in the yard looked at each other in confusion.

Jianer is acting mysterious, what is he doing?

"Jian'er, what do you say?" Old man Qiao was a little worried. He thought Jian'er might ask them to be a maid. He would definitely not agree to that.

Qiao Jianer didn't say a word, but just picked out the rags and dead branches and leaves covering the backpack, and then took out the things inside one by one.

A large piece of lean pork, which looked to be about five or six pounds, an oil can containing about twenty pounds of oil, a salt can containing about ten pounds of salt, in addition, there was also a vinegar jar and a sauce jar, all of which were quite large.

As Qiao Jian'er and other things appeared in front of them one by one, Old Man Qiao and Old Lady Qiao's eyes opened wider and wider, and their mouths opened wider and wider, finally forming an "O" shape.

Rubbing his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly, Old Man Qiao asked in surprise, "Sickle, where did you get all these things?"

Old Mrs. Qiao also held her pounding heart and lowered her voice: "Did you steal it? Jian'er, no matter how poor our family is, we shouldn't do such a thing."

"Grandpa, grandma, these things were not stolen or robbed. I bought them and exchanged them for them."

Then, Qiao Jianer recounted the entire incident in detail.

Of course, she didn't say that what they were selling were mushrooms. She only said that they were a rare delicacy found in the mountains. She let the two elders digest it first and then revealed the answer to the mystery.

The two elders were in a daze for a long time, and the room fell into silence for a long time.

Finally, Mrs. Qiao asked, "What is it that you squeezed out and sold?"

Qiao Jianer said, "It's a non-toxic mushroom."

When the two elders heard this, their expressions changed immediately. Old Man Qiao shook his head and supported his forehead with his hands.

"It's over, it's over. You've fed them poisonous mushrooms. When they have problems, the clan members will come to our door. They are a wealthy family with many people behind them. They will definitely arrest all of our family members and punish them. By then, no one will survive."

Old Mrs. Qiao was also terrified. She trembled all over and stared at Qiao Jian'er blankly. "Jian'er, why are you so confused? Qi Xiaoliang down there seemed to be better after he vomited up the poisonous mushroom, but he had a relapse a day later. Now that family is fine, but they will have a relapse in less than three days. By then, our whole family will be completely finished."

Old Mrs. Qiao couldn't sit still any longer on the stool. Her waist gave way and she fell to the ground, muttering, "It's over! It's all over now."

Qiao Jianer didn't expect the two elders to react so strongly.

Fortunately, she anticipated from the beginning that the two elders would not be able to accept it, so she locked the other members of the Qiao family outside, otherwise there would be a commotion and crying.
