"Milk." Qiao Lianer called.

Old Mrs. Qiao blinked hard again to squeeze out the remaining tears, then rubbed her eyes and turned around as if in a daze.

"Kan'er, you haven't slept yet."

Qiao Jianer pulled Old Lady Qiao to sit down, took out the one or two taels of silver from his sleeve, and handed it solemnly to Old Lady Qiao.

"Grandma, you are in charge of the money in this household, so keep it safe."

"This..." Old Mrs. Qiao hesitated a little, because the idea of ​​making money was proposed by Qiao Lianer. Isn't it a bit unethical to take all the money from a little girl?

"Grandma, just take it. Everyone in the family earns money, and everyone has a share. This money is for the expenses of the whole family. In the future, everyone will go up the mountain and work hard to support this family together."

Seeing that she could speak such truth at such a young age, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but nod.

"Jian'er, you're still so young, and there aren't many useful people in the family. I'm counting on your brain, and I feel uneasy."

Qiao Jianer said solemnly, "Everyone in the Qiao family is useful, able to work in the fields and in the mountains. They just lack an opportunity to make a fortune. I believe things will get better and better in the future."

Old Mrs. Qiao was originally a humble person. Although they were poor, she never thought that the Qiao family was useless. In her heart, men and women, old and young, were all heroes and heroines.

Under various limitations, the Qiao family has done their best.

After hearing what Qiao Lianer said, he loved his granddaughter even more.

But Mrs. Qiao felt that the reason was still not enough.

Qiao Lian'er thought about it again, because she was really too young. Although she was old enough to be sensible, she was thin and small and looked only eight or nine years old. Old Mrs. Qiao was embarrassed to take the money she earned.

The Qiao family worked a lot today, and she guessed that tomorrow Old Mrs. Qiao would take a part of it, but would also give her a part.

She said, "Grandma, I was walking on the road today and someone saw me carrying a basket and almost tried to steal my things. Luckily I got on Grandpa Qi's car."

"That's true. Who wants to steal our things?" Old Mrs. Qiao got angry when she heard it. She was already thinking that after selling the mushrooms tomorrow, she would gather all the Qiao family members and take the hunters and farmers to settle the score with that person.

Qiao Jianer thought about it and decided not to mention that they were members of the Song family, so as to avoid another fight and involve a lot of trouble. The Song family now has only two brothers, but there are many branches and elders.

The priority is to make money.

When you have money, you will stand up straighter and have a different mindset.

"It was just some thug on the street. I don't know who it was, but I got rid of him anyway. But grandma, I'm young and I'm holding something, so I'm sure people will notice me."

"So I feel at ease letting you manage the money."

Old Mrs. Qiao found a suitable reason, but she was not in a happy mood. She was still frightened. What if that gangster really attacked Jianer, not only stealing things but also injuring people?

She said, "Jian'er, from now on, when you go out on the street, you can't go alone. Someone at home must accompany you."

Qiao Jianer said, "Okay."

Only then did Old Mrs. Qiao accept the one or two taels of silver.

She silently decided that Jian'er was the first to contribute, and she would have to save up a good dowry for her in the future.

Qiao Jianer lay on the bed, his mind entered the farm, and looked at the cabbages he had planted.

It seems that a little bud has sprouted, and a faint green can be vaguely seen, but it is buried in the soil and has not yet emerged.

Qiao Jianer took half a cup of the divine water, poured a small drop into each nest, and finally drank it himself.

This thing has many benefits. Drinking it will be good for your health, strengthen your bones, and help you grow taller.

The next day, everyone in the Qiao family got up and Old Mrs. Qiao assigned tasks to everyone.

Some went to the fields, some went to the mountains to look for chicken mushrooms, and some went to the town.

Dacheng Dayong and Qiao Jianer went to sell mushrooms together.

It’s not a good idea to have too many people go there for now, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Old Mrs. Qiao escorted the three people out of the yard, and then stood at the gate, watching them go with deep anticipation.

Although they said they still needed mushrooms, it didn't count until I got the money.

The most important thing is to be able to sell everything and take the money home.

Then the two old men also carried their backpacks and went up the mountain to look for chicken mushrooms.

There are Lu, Xiao Meng and Qiao in the family.

Qiao had a plaster on her leg. Everyone was afraid that she would have to work again, so when she left home, they all reminded her to take good care of herself, otherwise the effectiveness of the medicine would be wasted.

Mrs. Qiao really couldn't sit idle. As a farmer, she could move her hands, so how could she not do any work?

So she sat in the yard washing vegetables and picking beans.

Mrs. Lu was helpless. She thought to herself that when it was Qiao Yunni's turn, she would also rush to help her with the work. No matter how she tried to stop her, she would not listen. Humph.

Dayong is the oldest grandson of the Qiao family. He carries a backpack and strides forward.

Can't wait to see the white silver.

Dacheng is only one year younger than Dayong and is also very tall, so he has no problem keeping up.

As for Qiao Jianer, she could only frown, quicken her pace, or jog.

Dayong realized it immediately and slowed down his pace: "Dacheng, you carry the sickle."

Dacheng was annoyed that he hadn't thought of it before and nodded: "Okay."

Qiao Jianer: "Ah."

Dacheng squatted down in front of her and said, "Jian'er, come up quickly. You are so thin, I can even run with you on my back."

Qiao Lian'er felt embarrassed. Her body was only twelve years old, but her soul was already twenty-eight years old. It was quite embarrassing for her to lie on the back of a young man.

"Brother Dacheng, I can still keep up with you and won't drag you down."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You'll be tired if you run as fast as you can." In Dacheng's eyes, Qiao Lian'er was just a child who looked only eight or nine years old. How could there be any distinction between men and women?

And this is his own sister.

Dacheng didn't say anything and put his hand behind him. Before Qiao Jianer could run away, he pressed her on the back.

Qiao Jianer's face turned red and he stood motionless like a dead insect.

Dacheng took big steps, fast and steady, and soon the town was in sight.

"Brother Dacheng, please put me down. I'm already grown up. If the people in this town see me, they'll definitely laugh at me."

Qiao Jianer has already adapted to it, but still doesn't want others to see it.

She would have to come to town more often in the future. Would she let others point at her and say she was the girl who was too lazy to walk and was carried on her brother's back? No.

Dayong and Dacheng both laughed. Dayong said, "Jian'er is so young, and he's already so concerned about face."

Qiao Lianer: Who doesn’t want to save face?

Dacheng put Qiao Jianer down, and Qiao Jianer took them to find the Han family in Anning Lane.

When I arrived at the door of Han's house, I saw the servants inside were in a hurry and busy.

Qiao Jian'er called out a servant and asked, "Is Madam Han here?"

"Madam is busy and has no time to see anyone now. Go away." The man waved to the three people at the door.

Then I heard the old woman's voice inside crying, "Son, you have been unconscious since last night, please don't be in any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Dayong and Dacheng's faces turned pale.
