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

Chapter 402 Why not call each other sisters?

Qiao Jianer stood by the road, waiting.

The carriage stopped beside her, Qiao Lian'er jumped out of the carriage, came to her, and smiled like a spring breeze.

"Sister Jian'er, you don't mind me calling you that, do you? I've made inquiries, and you're only half a year younger than me. We have the same name, so it's fate. How about we call each other sisters from now on?"

Her brother, Qiao Chaoheng, also got off the carriage, smiling: "Yes, this Miss Qiao and my sister have the same name, and now we live in the same village. Outsiders will inevitably ask a lot of questions. It would be more convenient to just consider us sisters."

Qiao Jian'er's face was indifferent: "We just met and don't know much. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to call each other sisters."

"Thank you both for your kindness. I appreciate it. My apologies."

Qiao Lian'er was a little embarrassed, her face slightly red. From childhood to adulthood, few people had rejected her like this, at least not those of the same class.

However, Qiao Chaoheng's expression remained unchanged, and he was very polite: "It doesn't matter. After all, we were the ones who were abrupt. Time will tell. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Qiao Lian'er turned her head and glanced at the government office: "I think I saw Sister Jian'er coming out of the county government office. Is she looking for the county magistrate for something?"

Qiao Jianer said, "That's right. As the military advisor of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, I have to discuss some military matters not only with General Guan, but also with Lord Zhang, so that we can coordinate more effectively."

Qiao Chaoheng nodded. "My sister has been interested in military affairs since she was a child and has been studying them regularly. However, she is ultimately no match for Miss Qiao. I hope Miss Qiao will give her more guidance and help her improve."

Even their interests and hobbies are the same, Qiao Jianer thought.

"I like to arrange troops and battle formations." Qiao Lian'er's eyebrows were full of joy: "How about you, sister Jian'er?"

"I'm just looking around, I don't have any direction." Qiao Lianer said.

She felt that too much of her information had been exposed, and she had to be more careful in the future.

However, no one can be on guard against others for a thousand days. As long as you are determined, you can always find out.

"I have some chores to take care of, so I can't accompany you. Please make your own way."

Qiao Chaoheng made a gesture to ask for permission, with a casual and friendly smile on his face.

After Qiao Jian'er walked away, Qiao Chaoheng's smile faded and became silent and cold.

"Brother, she didn't go to ask about military affairs. I think she went to check on us." Qiao Lian'er said.

Qiao Chaoheng stroked her head and said, "My dear sister, aren't those things meant to be shown to others? Besides, they are all real."

"How long will we stay here?" Qiao Lian'er muttered softly, "The capital is still better. These places are too small. Even if there are some new things, they are nothing compared to the capital. I've only been here for a few days and I'm already tired."

"Sister, to achieve what others cannot achieve, you must endure what others cannot endure. Besides, this can't be considered as suffering. You are just waiting for news in a quiet place."

"It's a bit boring, but compared to what I can get in the future, this little bit of patience is nothing."

"Our family still has to rely on my sister. Everyone in this family will never forget my sister's contribution."

Seeing the expectation in Qiao Chaoheng's eyes, Qiao Lian'er was immediately motivated. She nodded, her eyes sparkling: "I won't let my brother and my family down."

"Brother, I won't complain anymore."

Their Qiao family is the most declining branch of the family. For many years, my father has been trying to revive the Qiao family, but unfortunately, he has been unlucky.

Now, God has given their family a great opportunity.

Of course we should cherish it.

Feng and her friends had just arrived at the shop for two days and were not familiar with many things. At first, Qiao Jian'er had to lead them and run back and forth between the shops. After a busy day, their backs ached and they felt like they didn't belong anywhere.

She was so busy that she forgot her worries and uneasiness.

But she knew that those things did not disappear, but were secretly fermenting.

Because the distance is far, I have to go home after mid-afternoon.

The Qiao family got on the carriage and prepared to set off. Feng and the others discussed their thoughts and summed up their experiences in the carriage.

Seeing a man coming towards the carriage, she was a little confused. It was the team leader He whom she had met this morning. Team leader He needed to deliver a batch of rice to Luo County, 300 miles away, a total of 30,000 kilograms.

The speed couldn't have been that fast, so we can only say that he didn't go.

Team Leader He came up to them, his face not looking too good. "Miss Qiao, I'm afraid we'll have to temporarily stop selling our goods nationwide. We'll only be selling them in the county and nearby areas, and it's best not to exceed a hundred miles."

"why?"

Qiao Jianer's heart sank.

"Master Shi has gone to the capital. He has a lot of things to take care of. The Pei family is not at peace right now. Everyone is in danger. We are afraid that if we follow his clues, it will lead to Miss Qiao. So we have to cut off the connection first."

"This is an urgent message from Mr. Shi. Please let me inform Miss Qiao immediately."

Team leader He said this as he presented a quick letter.

Qiao Jian'er took a look and thought, no problem. Thinking about how she was usually protected by the Pei family, and now that the Pei family was in trouble, she would naturally be affected as well. She was also very willing to overcome the difficulties together with the Pei family.

She asked, "Please write back and ask if there is any way I can help you."

"Master Shi had long anticipated Miss Qiao's intentions, so when he left, he specifically instructed her not to worry about anything. If Miss Qiao needed anything and I couldn't do it, I could just write to her."

Qiao Jianer was overwhelmed with emotions.

"Those freight routes and checkpoints are sensitive and need to be covered. I'm going to do this right now. We can't take it lightly at this critical juncture."

"Wait a minute." Qiao Jian'er asked Team Leader He to wait where he was. She went to the alley and took out 12,000 taels of current account from the space.

He returned to Team Leader He and took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve.

"In that case, we have to make some arrangements. Captain He, take this money."

Team Leader He evaded with a serious expression, "Miss Qiao, I can't take your money. This is what Lord Shi has instructed. Ultimately, it's the Pei family's idea."

"Besides, I have no shortage of money here. Lord Shi has left enough for the running expenses."

"These are indispensable to improve work efficiency. If you can't use them all, you have to return them to me." Qiao Jianer stuffed the money into his hand, jumped back onto the front rack of the carriage, and hurriedly drove the carriage away.

The Pei family was in trouble, and she used this money not only to cover up the traces of the line card, but also to play a small role in the salt transportation matters.

Team leader He held a heavy stack of money and was shocked when he counted it. It was a full ten thousand taels. But Qiao Lian'er had run away, so he could only keep it for now and return it to her after the matter was over.

When the Pei family and Lord Shi know Miss Qiao’s intentions, they will know that their efforts were not in vain.

After all, this amount of money is quite a lot for a family like Miss Qiao's, and it might have consumed most of the family fortune.

Qiao Lian'er drove the carriage back, listening to the birds singing in early spring and looking at the new growth on the branches, but he was not in a good mood.

It is said that when good times are too long, bad times will come, but the good times for the Qiao family did not last long.

The Qiao siblings from the east of the village returned to the village first. When they arrived at Qingshui Town, their carriage was stopped by someone.

It was a boy about ten years old.

Qiao Chaoheng didn't want to pay any attention and was ready to continue on his way.

The boy said coolly: "I know what you are going to do."

Qiao Chaoheng reined in his horse immediately.
