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

"Sister Ling Yin, excuse me for asking how much silver you have." Qiao Lianer said.

Ling Yin did the math: "We originally had three taels of kimchi at home. We've been selling kimchi for ten days, earning about six hundred coins a day. Now we have nine taels."

"That's enough. Just treat your relatives well these days. The stronger the cohesion, the better. Unity is strength."

Lingjia Village is not Shijia Village. It is unknown how many people there are in the Ling family, including direct relatives, collateral relatives, and clan relatives who have ancestral ties.

Moreover, Qiu said that more than half of the families in Lingjia Village have the surname Ling, so they are more or less related.

Ling Yin can win this battle, but of course he needs to work hard beforehand, which depends on the efforts of Ling Lao San's family.

"And Sister Ling Yin, if someone from another family dares to treat the girl from the Third Ling Family like this, they might just be looking down on the Ling Family. If you give in this time, there will definitely be other girls from the Ling Family who will be targeted and treated with such contempt."

"How others view you, the Ling family's daughter, and how others view you, the Ling family, will only focus on this one time."

Ling Yin understood that Qiao Jian'er wanted her to create a feeling of honor and disgrace for the Ling family members.

These words and actions were so sophisticated, as if they were spoken by someone with decades of experience. She looked at Qiao Jianer in disbelief.

The person sitting in front of me is still just a little girl. If you don’t know her actual age, you would think she is only about eight years old.

Ling Yin's heart was filled with admiration.

"First, the relatives who live nearby, otherwise you won't be able to entertain them all. Then let the relatives lead the clan members and family members." Qiao Jianer took a sip of tea and added.

Ling Yin understood.

"Jia'er, you helped me so much, I don't know how to thank you enough."

"Let's talk about it after we help you. It mainly depends on you. I'm just giving you some advice."

"And..." Qiao Jian'er smiled, "If I knew you were in such a predicament, my brother Dayong would be worried to death. He's outside now, so I'll help him solve this problem first."

Ling Yin's face flushed slightly, and she mustered up the courage to ask, "So, do your family members like me?"

"I like you. Everyone, big and small, likes you. Welcome. Once this matter is resolved, you have no more troubles, and our house is built, we can make further arrangements."

Ling Yin knew what the further arrangements meant. After crossing this hurdle, she would be able to live a quiet and happy life.

She clasped her fingers tightly in her palms, determined to achieve her wish and do her utmost to do so.

The brother and sister took action immediately to buy meat and wine, and Qiao Jianer drove the carriage to Jiuweilou.

We prepared 700 kilograms of potatoes and tomatoes, 300 kilograms of peanuts, and 300 kilograms of corn.

That’s all I’m selling today.

As the carriage passed by the street, people in official uniforms could be seen entering and exiting teahouses, taverns, restaurants and shops, holding pens and paper for registration in their hands.

The bosses and shopkeepers thought it was just a routine visit and registration, so they didn't react at all.

They had no idea that the crisis was approaching them little by little.

When they were about to reach the bustling center, Qiao Jianer drove the carriage into the alley and then came to the back door of Jiuweilou.

The back door is also large, making it convenient for carriages to pass through.

There was a doorman guarding the place. When he saw Qiao Jianer coming, he hurried to inform Boss Cai.

Boss Cai walked out quickly, a look of joy on his face. "We've sold out the last few dozen kilograms of potatoes and tomatoes today. I was wondering when you'd come, Miss Qiao."

"If I don't see your people today, these ingredients will be out of supply."

"I'll come at least once every five days. It's been like this for a while now." Qiao Jian'er lowered her voice. "How's Boss Cai preparing?"

Boss Cai asked someone to weigh the ingredients and then took her aside.

"Miss Qiao, you're right. Just yesterday, those people came to my restaurant and looked through the account books and records."

"Luckily, I had another account book ready. I redid the accounts for the previous few years and even aged it so that no traces could be seen."

"But don't worry, Miss Qiao. The prices of your ingredients are what they were before. They haven't changed and won't affect you."

Qiao Lian'er knew that these businessmen were much more cunning than her.

After the ingredients were weighed, Boss Cai took a look and said, "Do you have any chilies for sale? I'll give you 300 kilograms of dried chilies and 200 kilograms of fresh chilies."

"Guests who eat at our house are used to spicy food. They are a little uncomfortable without chili these past few days."

"Yes, Mr. Cai, please wait a moment." Qiao Jianer drove the carriage away again.

When they stopped at a place with few people, Qiao Zhizhi ran off the carriage.

"Sister Jianer, I'm going to buy two sugar figures over there."

Qiao Jianer smiled knowingly, the little girl was leaving her space.

She prepared the dried and fresh chilies, and Qiao Zhizhi came over holding two sugar figures, one a tiger and the other a wolf.

Qiao Jianer licked the candy man and drove the carriage to the back of Jiuweilou.

Dried chili peppers are 20 cents per catty, and fresh chili peppers are 10 cents per catty.

Adding the 38.5 taels from the previous ingredients, the total was 46.5 taels, and Qiao Jianer generously took the half-dollar bill.

After completing today's mission, Qiao Jianer went to see Ada and the others again.

The kitchen was tidy and clean. There were some ingredients in the cupboard, a piece of pork belly, and the water tank was full of water.

The used firewood in the woodshed has been replenished. It seems that these children will go to the mountains to collect firewood again.

The children's lives are back on track.

"Sister Jianer, there's nothing much going on recently. It's just that those officials are registering storefronts everywhere. I don't know what they are going to do." Ada said.

"Okay, I understand. I have something for you to do."

"Sister Jian'er, hurry up and give orders. We have work to do again."

"I want you to spread the word that the son of the Shi family, the village tyrant of Lingjia Village, is a fool. Since he can't find a wife, he wants to take a girl by force. He deliberately used a worthless piece of porcelain to trap the girl's father and then demanded an exorbitant sum of fifty or sixty taels of silver. If the money isn't paid, he wants the girl to marry him off, making her family's life miserable."

"Isn't this the behavior of an animal? Let's go and give that family a good beating."

The children were furious when they heard this. It was simply beyond the bottom line of being a human being.

"No, this won't solve the problem." Qiao Jian'er said, "Just go and spread the message."

“The more widely it spreads, the better. The more discussion there is, the better.”

These will become a force of support when they go to court.
