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

Qiao Jianer took out a plastic bag from the space and put all twenty-two taels of silver into it.

"Jian'er, what are you doing? Didn't you say this is the money you paid?" asked Old Mrs. Qiao.

"Grandma, I came all the way here from the county town today and saw how they acted like robbers and bandits. It's not worth giving them these twenty or so taels." Qiao Jianer shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Old man Qiao asked quickly.

"Seventy to eighty percent of the rice was taken, and almost all the money in the house was looted."

"People are living in dire straits. More than twenty villagers from Lingjia Village rebelled, but all of them were subdued."

Originally, she was going to leave these twenty or so taels as a contribution to the Daze Kingdom, but now it seems that they will not be used on the soldiers and horses.

"This is too unfair. There is only a little food left. How can the people survive?" Old man Qiao said angrily.

Old Mrs. Qiao: "But can we hide it at home? No matter where we hide it, those people will definitely find it."

"They won't search the place where I hide." said Qiao Lianer.

She walked out of the main room holding the silver, and saw a head quickly shrink back at the gate of the courtyard.

This little bastard, he didn't forget to keep an eye on the Qiao family's movements at this time. Is he going to ask for credit and reward from those officials tomorrow?

At any other time, Song Ruier would have been held down by Lu'er and Acang and the others.

But tonight every household is very busy, taking care of their own families, and they simply cannot spare the time.

"Big Brother Meng, Little Brother Meng." Qiao Lianer glanced outside.

The two men saw her expression, immediately understood, and rushed out.

Song Ruier turned and ran.

He ran and felt frustrated because he didn't see where the Qiao family hid the money.

"Little bastard, don't run if you can."

Da Meng and Xiao Meng blocked the enemy separately.

After a few dozen steps, Song Ruier was held down.

Before he could say anything, Da Meng slapped him in the face.

Qiao Jianer tied the bag of silver with a long rope and then walked under the pigpen.

I weighed it and found it was a little light, so to prevent it from floating away, I tied a big stone to it.

Then he squatted beside the pit, pinched his nose, and put the bag down.

The other end of the rope was tied to the handle of a dung shovel, which was also placed in the pit, with only a small part exposed.

"Jian'er's method is good, although the taste is a bit strong." Qiao Xier pinched her nose and smiled.

"Look at where every household hides their money. Either they pry open a floor tile, make a hole in the wall, or hide it on the roof. It will definitely be found out," said Qiao Dayong.

It's basically a waste of effort.

But hiding the silver in the mountains is not realistic, because it is very likely that it will not be found, and with so many people going up the mountain, they will definitely be noticed.

Even if the food had not been searched out, disputes might arise when it was time to move it back.

When it comes to a matter of survival, even the best relationships will turn into conflicts.

Qiao Jianer suddenly remembered that those swords also needed to be hidden. It would be a disaster if they were found.

But hiding in a cesspool is also inappropriate.

"Brother Dayong, I'm afraid you need to go to Yongguan County with Brother Dameng."

"Now?"

"Yes, now." Qiao Jianer whispered to Qiao Dayong.

Qiao Dayong's expression immediately turned serious: "We have to go, otherwise if we are found out, it will be a big disaster."

He immediately went to find Da Meng, and when Da Meng heard this, his face also tightened.

The two men entered the room next to the main hall. After a while, they hurried out with the swords wrapped in cloth and got back into the carriage.

Xiao Meng was watching at the door, on guard against Song Ruier doing anything bad again.

Dayong drove away in the carriage. The Qiao family also understood what had happened and filled the sword pit with bricks.

"Amitabha, Amitabha, fortunately I haven't forgotten this matter." Old Mrs. Qiao patted her chest, still feeling scared.

Old man Qiao sat under the eaves smoking a pipe with a silent expression. He looked up and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky and the stars clearly visible.

He sighed. Under the bright full moon, the world should have been peaceful and harmonious, but now it had to suffer such a disaster.

"And the Xinghe family, the county government just gave them two taels of silver as a reward, will they take it away?"

"Grandpa, that's not possible. Brother Xinghe just passed the imperial examination and is a student on government academy. He doesn't have to pay taxes or perform labor service on ordinary days. So naturally, he doesn't have to hand it over at this time." Qiao Lianer said.

There was only one such student on government academy in the surrounding villages, and he was very dazzling. He was also praised and respected by the county government. No matter what those people did, they had to abide by the rules and laws. There was no need to offend a future official for two taels of silver.

They still have this little bit.

"That's good."

Old man Qiao thought of the Qiao family's relatives again and sighed secretly. At this juncture, there was nothing he could do.

Dayong and Dameng came back in the middle of the night. According to Qiao Jianer's instructions, they hid the swords in the abandoned courtyard where Ada and the others lived.

"Why did you come back only now?" asked Boss Qiao.

"We moved all the firewood away, dug a hole, put the sword underneath, filled it up, and put the firewood back on top, pressing it tightly," said Dameng.

The whole night was spent in Datian Village, and there was a sense of haste and tension everywhere. The dogs in the village seemed to have sensed this atmosphere and barked all night long.

When it was almost dawn, some people were still carrying torches and food up the mountain.

Qiao Lianer shook his head. If one, two, three or four families stored grain like this, it might be possible to keep it hidden. But if every household did this, it would be like telling those who were collecting grain to go directly to the mountains to move the grain.

Even if they move everything away, more things will be taken away than if they were left at home.

"What's strange is that when we passed by the road above, we saw that there were no lights or torches in the Song family's yard. It seemed that the whole family had gone to bed and there was no worry at all. It was like this every time they went there," said Qiao Dayong.

Da Meng: "Logically speaking, since Old Lady Song is so stingy, she should be more nervous than anyone else. Could it be that her family has already hidden all the food and silver? But even if they did, how can they sleep so peacefully?"

Everyone in other families was fidgeting. Some were sitting in the yard, some were walking around, and some were crying.

But the Song family exuded a strange calmness, as if even the sky falling had nothing to do with them.

This is absolutely not in line with the character of the Song family.

Even the Qiao family, who had made sufficient preparations, did not get much sleep tonight because of the impending heavy rain that would pour down on everyone's heads.

Qiao Jianer thought again that last night, Song Ruier still had the mind to come and spy on the situation in the Qiao family, and even Fusheng Acang and the others had no mind to run around.

Something is wrong everywhere.

"Here they come, they are coming." A villager looked in the direction of the road and suddenly shouted, as if he saw a ghost.
