Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 21 The family can't wait to go up the mountain
"Grandpa, grandma, don't be afraid. I ate that kind of mushroom two or three years ago and I was fine."
Qiao Jianer sighed in her heart. She didn't know how many lies she had told since coming to this world.
"What? You said you had eaten it two or three years ago?" When Old Mrs. Qiao heard this, she quickly took a good look at Qiao Jianer.
There is indeed nothing wrong with her. She has been growing up well until now. She is thin only because the Song family treats their daughter harshly.
"Yes, I was so hungry at the time that I found some seemingly harmless mushrooms and roasted them over a fire in the mountains. They were surprisingly delicious, even better than meat. I didn't tell anyone at the time because I was afraid my grandparents wouldn't believe me and blame me for eating them without permission."
"But we really had no oil at home, and no money to spend, so I thought of exchanging those chicken mushrooms for oil and money."
After listening to this, the two elders were no longer as frightened as before.
Old Man Qiao still looked uneasy and asked, "Are you sure the mushrooms you found for that family are the kind you eat? There are many mushrooms on the mountain that look similar, and if you're not careful you might end up picking poisonous mushrooms."
Old Mrs. Qiao also stared at Qiao Jianer, waiting for her answer.
"Yes, I can guarantee that I didn't eat it just once. I secretly went up the mountain and ate a lot more. Those mushrooms are a delicacy. Otherwise, they wouldn't be willing to give me so much oil and two taels of silver for less than a pound."
The two elders breathed a sigh of relief.
Old man Qiao closed his eyes: "That's good, that's good."
Qiao Jianer wanted to tell the two elders that there were still many mushrooms to eat on the mountain, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. It was already very difficult for them to accept the current situation, and the mushrooms could still grow for two months, so he could take his time and there was no need to rush.
She said, "Now that wealthy family is waiting for more chicken mushrooms. While many people in the village don't know about it, we will try to find as many chicken mushrooms as possible, squeeze them dry, and send them to the wealthy family in town to sell."
The reason why she chose to squeeze it dry was to conceal her tracks. Moreover, even wealthy families were not confident about the mushrooms on the mountain.
Old Mrs. Qiao agreed: "Okay, now that so many people have gone home, it's a good time to go to the mountains to pick them up. Oh, right, this kind of thing can only be eaten after being squeezed dry?"
Qiao Jianer smiled. "It can be used to make soup, which is delicious, just like chicken soup. It can also be stir-fried, which has a different flavor. It's crispy, fragrant, and smooth."
"Oh my god, I'm drooling just listening to this." Old Man Qiao said, "Let's go, what are we waiting for, let's go up the mountain now."
Old Mrs. Qiao grabbed Old Man Qiao and said, "Old man, don't be so anxious. We need to explain this matter clearly to everyone."
"Okay, I'll call everyone in. We have to do this secretly and don't let anyone else know." Old man Qiao's wrinkled face was filled with a smile, and he felt hopeful.
"Jian'er, you are the little lucky treasure of our family." Old Mrs. Qiao held Qiao Jian'er's hand tightly.
"You have brought good news to the Qiao family. Everyone in the Qiao family will thank you."
The two elders both admired and appreciated Qiao Jianer.
Good girl, resolutely follow your poor mother.
Now he is helping the Qiao family overcome the current difficulties.
Qiao Jian'er shook her head: "I am a member of the Qiao family. This is my responsibility. I don't want anyone's gratitude. I just want everyone to live a good life."
Old Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but hug her little granddaughter in her arms.
Old Man Qiao opened the door to the main hall and said to everyone waiting in the yard, "Come in."
When everyone entered the main room and saw the good stuff all over the floor, they were all stunned.
Seeing that the two elders looked serious, he moved a stool and sat down obediently.
"Wait until I finish speaking before you speak. No one should interrupt me while I'm speaking," said Old Man Qiao.
Everyone didn't know whether they should speak or not, so they nodded like obedient children.
A slight smile appeared on Old Man Qiao's face.
Old Mrs. Qiao pulled Qiao Jianer to sit beside her, put her hand on the back of her hand, and looked kind and reassuring.
Then, Old Man Qiao told the whole story, starting from when Qiao Jianer went to the mountains to eat the chicken mushrooms two years ago.
Everyone's faces started to show fear, worry, and then disbelief, followed by surprise, and finally joy.
They looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that good luck had come to them.
They were both silent for a long time, their hearts pounding and unable to calm down.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, you can say it now," said Old Man Qiao.
Qiao Zhizhi hesitated for a moment: "Grandpa, can we go up the mountain now?"
The others were also impatient and were ready to move their stools.
Old Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Why don't you prepare the backpack and bamboo basket, and get some cloth to cover it up, quietly, so no one can see it."
The whole family quickly got busy.
Qiao Jianer thought that this kind of thing had to be told to everyone by grandparents so that everyone would accept it quickly.
Although she was a little tired after going to the street, she still wanted to follow everyone up the mountain to avoid everyone finding poisonous fungi among them.
The whole family went up the mountain again, leaving Feng and Wan to take care of their husbands and son Dayong, Lu and Xiao Meng still cooking at home, and Qiao Yunni recuperating.
"Yun Ni, you gave birth to a good daughter." said Mrs. Lu.
"You're on crutches, so don't rush around. Jian'er is a great contributor to the family, and as his mother, you should just take a good rest."
Qiao Yunni said, "I was quite surprised. I didn't know this child had such opinions and plans."
It’s like I’ve grown a lot all of a sudden.
But no matter what, she was relieved.
"What's so hard to understand? A child this smart now must have been smart when he was young. It's just that when he was in the Song family, Jian'er felt that the Song family was not honest, so he didn't want to show these thoughts to the Song family, so as not to let them take advantage of him."
Qiao Yunni thought about it and felt that this should be the case.
Now she only hopes that the bridge can be successfully completed so that she and her daughter can stay in the Qiao family peacefully.
Although the Qiao family is better at using weapons than others, it is still troublesome after all.
The Qiao family carried several people down the mountain, and the whole village knew about it. Before Qiao Jianer came, many people gathered at the door of the Qiao family. Only when they knew that the three people were safe and sound and had survived did they disperse.
Now the villagers felt strange when they saw the Qiao family going up the mountain again.
"Why, Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao, are you still going up the mountain to hunt?"
"Oh, let's go and try our luck. We really can't make ends meet at home." Old man Qiao said helplessly.
The nearby hills have been trampled by the villagers, making it impossible to hunt any prey.
The villagers thought that the Qiao family was crazy about wanting to have some meat.
Song Lao Er was also among the crowd, folding his hands and smiling, "I came back from the market today and saw Song Jian'er carrying a heavy basket. I wonder what good things were in it. You guys still want to go up the mountain to find food. Is she going to eat all by herself?"
"It's Qiao Jian'er." Old Man Qiao reminded: "I have already changed my granddaughter's surname. Don't put the Song character from your Song family before her name. It's unlucky."
"What?" Song Lao Er's expression turned bad when he heard it. He waved over there and said, "Brother, that damn girl Song Jian'er changed her surname to Qiao."
Boss Song's face changed. If he changed his surname to Qiao, how would the Song family collect betrothal gifts in the future?
He strode over with a gloomy look on his face.
