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

"Dad, what are in these jars? They are so valuable." Song Daming was surprised.

"The Qiao family must be selling something we don't know about. They went up the mountain to look for poisonous mushrooms, but it was just a cover. They are afraid that we will find out." Boss Song made a conclusion that he thought was very clever.

"But how do we know what they are selling?"

Boss Song thought for a moment and said, "We need to observe carefully. Let that brat go. He's small and won't be easily spotted."

After selling the mushrooms, Qiao Jianer and his sister did not rush back home. Instead, they went to the shop to buy cloth of different colors, soles and uppers of different sizes, and then went to the butcher to buy a large piece of pork with fat and lean meat, dozens of eggs, and some vegetables.

The backpack was heavy and I returned home with a full load.

Passing by, someone was selling chickens and ducks. Qiao Jianer squatted down and bought ten chicks and six ducks. Then he thought that his family had not eaten chicken for a long time, so he bought a big rooster and went back to kill it.

As for buying piglets to raise, Old Lady Qiao could just go to the village and look for them. The pigpen and chicken and duck pens at home had already been repaired and prepared.

Today, neither Old Man Qiao nor Old Lady Qiao went up the mountain. They have to go far away to look for mushrooms. They are old, and their sons and daughters-in-law all advised them to stay at home.

But they were not idle either, they went to their own vegetable garden to take care of the half-grown vegetables.

The Qiao family has a vegetable plot on a hillside, where they usually grow vegetables to meet their daily needs. However, the soil is not good and the vegetables they grow are not ideal.

But what else can we do? The family in front depends on that piece of land for vegetables. If it can’t provide enough, they can only eat wild vegetables.

After finishing the work on the hillside, the two old men walked around the nearby mountain and found two kilograms of chicken mushrooms.

From a distance, I saw the three brothers and sisters returning from the town on their way back to the village, and the two elders also returned home.

Seeing them buying meat and buying cloth, Old Lady Qiao agreed and looked at the chickens and ducks: "Your behavior is good. After lunch, your grandfather and I will go to the village to pick out three piglets to raise."

Thinking of the piglets grunting in the pigsty and the chickens and ducks running around the yard, Old Mrs. Qiao was obviously in a good mood. She walked with a light step and was full of energy.

There is plenty of oil, salt and meat at home, and chickens and ducks running around.

This is the good day she has always dreamed of.

Qiao Jianer also bought some broken rice husks and scattered them on the ground. The chickens and ducklings gathered around and pecked at the food happily.

She looked at the lively scene and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Qiao Jianer handed the box containing silver to Old Lady Qiao. Old Lady Qiao took out the larger box from the locked drawer at the bottom of the chest of drawers, put the two boxes together, and counted the silver ingots one by one. By now, there were already seventy-five taels of silver in the house.

Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes were full of relief.

"Grandma, when we get to one hundred taels, should we build a yard?" said Qiao Jianer.

Old Mrs. Qiao thought about it and shook her head: "We have to wait until we get at least two hundred taels. We can expand the yard and build more rooms. After all, we have a large family. When your daughter gets married, she will have her own room when she returns to her parents' home."

Old man Qiao sat at the door, smoking his pipe. He knocked his pipe against the leg of a stool and said, "Yes, that's the way it is. One hundred taels is only enough for my grandson to live in. What about my granddaughter's?"

"We in the Qiao family treat everyone equally. When we have saved up two hundred taels, we will build a new house with blue bricks and black tiles, and every room will be bright and spacious."

Qiao Jian'er felt a warm feeling in her heart. In the world she came from, although it had become much more civilized and advanced, many girls got married but their parents' families did not leave them a room.

Although this is an unrecorded dynasty called Daze State, it is definitely an ancient society.

The Qiao family is so open-minded, tolerant and loving.

It's worth her helping them get rich, a fortune.

The Qiao family lives far away, so it would be troublesome for them to come back at noon. They brought food with them in the morning and did not go home for lunch.

Old Mrs. Qiao picked two half-grown bitter melons from the field, Mrs. Lu fried a bitter melon and egg, and used a pound of chicken mushrooms found in the mountains to make soup. She also had a dish of stir-fried pork with cabbage. Qiao Jianer didn't like fatty meat, so Mrs. Lu fried the pork a little dry and served a small portion of fried chicken mushrooms.

These dishes are simple, but they include both meat and vegetables. They fill your stomach and warm it up, and the feeling of satisfaction is indescribable.

After dinner, Old Mrs. Qiao and Old Man Qiao went to look after the piglets. Except for Qiao Yunni and Qiao Jianer, everyone else also went to the mountain.

As summer approaches, the sun is always a little strong when it doesn't rain. Qiao Yunni sits in the coolness under the eaves and cuts clothes. She knows the sizes of each person roughly, and her clothing-making skills are among the best in the village. The fabrics and soles and uppers that Qiao Lian'er bought from the street helped her find work.

Qiao Lian'er didn't understand these things, so he just helped Qiao Yunni.

"Mom, Sister Xier is already fifteen years old, and the Shen family hasn't come to discuss the engagement. Will they go back on their word?"

Qiao Jianer pulled the cloth and Qiao Yunni carefully cut it with scissors.

When she heard about Sister Xier's marriage these two days, she had this question in her mind.

Especially since the Shen family has been doing business in the town in the past two years, their financial situation has been getting better and better. When many people have money, their mentality will change.

Moreover, when she read novels in the past, she always saw a certain direction of this kind of things, and she didn't want something similar to happen to Sister Xier.

Qiao Yunni was silent for a moment: "The Shen family didn't say anything. If they don't say anything, then our family won't say anything either, lest anything unpleasant gets to their ears and cause unpleasantness."

Despite this, Qiao Jianer still saw a hint of worry between Qiao Yunni's eyebrows.

It seemed that in her impression, the Shen family had not been in contact with the Qiao family for more than a year.

But she was in the Song family before, so it’s not certain whether it’s accurate or not.

If the Shen family didn't want this marriage, they should have said so in advance and let the Qiao family make the arrangements for Qiao Xier. By not saying so, were they trying to keep the Qiao family hanging? Were they trying to leave a way out?

I hope she is just overthinking this.

There was a sound of something falling to the ground, very light, but Qiao Jianer caught it immediately.

She looked around and didn't see anyone, and no one passed by the door.

Just as she finished cutting the piece of cloth in her hand, she stood up, walked lightly towards the courtyard wall.

Qiao Yunni looked at her and wanted to speak, but she made a hushing gesture to Qiao Yunni.

Sensing that something might happen, Qiao Yunni's heart was in suspense.

She put down the work in her hands and looked at Qiao Lianer.

The Qiao family's house is like other houses, with a courtyard wall around it. There is a distance between the courtyard wall and the house wall, mainly used for drainage. There is a larger area behind the kitchen where some leeks, onions and garlic are planted.

The source of the sound just now was behind the kitchen, so it can be judged that the other person jumped down from the courtyard wall.
