Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 72 The insects in the ground died inexplicably?
Seeing the gloomy faces of his grandparents, Qiao Jianer took out two snacks from the lunch box.
"Grandpa, grandma, eating something sweet will make you feel better."
The two old people were in no mood to eat, but when they saw their granddaughter's pair of black and clear eyes looking at them, they couldn't bear to refuse.
After taking a bite of the snack, I felt less depressed.
"Jian'er, what are you thinking? Otherwise, the two of us will risk our lives and turn the Shen family upside down, forcing them to give us an answer."
Qiao Jianer said, "Their attitude is clear. They're just dragging their feet and trying to flatter us. They even say things that make sense. Even if the villagers came, they'd probably be fooled by their rhetoric."
"Old Lady Shen is about to kneel down. What if she threatens to commit suicide again? If someone doesn't know, they might think we're forcing them."
Old Mrs. Qiao: "If she wants to kneel, then kneel. If she wants to commit suicide, then commit suicide. If I wasn't afraid of shortening the lifespan of my Qiao family, I wouldn't care if she lives or dies, or if she has a thousand-year-old cold leg."
Old Man Qiao's beard twitched. "Now that things have come to this, even if the Shen family is willing one day, I don't want to get married. What do you think, old woman?"
Old Lady Qiao sneered, "They have hidden motives and expect our family to just sit back and wait. How is that possible? If they explicitly say they want to marry, it must be because they've weighed the pros and cons and felt they were lowering themselves to marry into our Qiao family."
This is what it is, a spare wheel. Ox carts and horse carts often have a wheel hanging on the back, which they use as a makeshift wheel when the original wheel breaks during the journey.
The granddaughter of the Qiao family is the best and the treasure in her heart. How dare the Shen family think so.
This is a deliberate humiliation and slander of people.
The two elders cursed for a while and finished the snacks in their hands. With the final decision, their mouths were filled with sweet fragrance, and they felt a little better after all.
It’s about how this process should go and how this matter should end.
Qiao Jianer said, "The Shen family has become wealthy in the past two years and has been doing business in town. Shen Liang is also an ambitious man. Perhaps they are looking for families in town who are willing to marry their daughter to them and who can also help the Shen family's business."
"This is just speculation right now. We need to lay the evidence before the Shen family. We don't have anything in our hands right now, and if we force the Shen family to give an answer, they can just keep playing dirty and make us look unreasonable."
Old Mrs. Qiao said, "Then how can we get evidence?"
"We need to wait," Qiao Jian'er said. "If they have other ideas, they will definitely take action, and any action will leave signs. There's no rush. Sister Xi'er has only just turned fifteen, so we have plenty of time."
Old Man Qiao nodded: "Okay, I want to see what they are up to."
He sighed again: "Old Shen, if you were still alive, how could our two families end up in this situation?"
Qiao Lianer thought, perhaps this was the original nature of the Shen family, but they were suppressed by Old Man Shen. Later, when the Shen family made money, they exposed it without any concealment.
Qiao Yunni glanced at the opposite side. Qiao Xier seemed a little absent-minded, threading the shoe mechanically.
"Why are you so nervous? You two were engaged when you were young. Now your grandparents are just trying to smooth things over. Who knows, the marriage might be finalized someday." Qiao Yunni said with a smile.
"Aunt, I'm not nervous. I, I can't bear to leave everyone." Qiao Xier thought of Shen Liang's faint smile and the fragrance emanating from the sachet on his body, and her heart was filled with sweetness. But when she thought about leaving her parents' home after getting married, she couldn't help feeling melancholy.
"Why would you be reluctant to leave? It's not like you're marrying into another village. Shen Liang's home is right down below. You can look up and see your parents' home. You can come back anytime."
The aunt and nephew were talking when two old people and a child came in.
The three people had normal expressions and nothing could be seen. Qiao Xier didn't ask. It was normal for the two families to interact with each other. After all, the Shen family was busy with business and they hadn't been in contact for the past two years. She and Shen Liang had grown up and were at the age to get married. Before the wedding, the two families also needed to have some fun.
However, there was an extra layer of expectation in her heart, like a layer of honey.
When Qiao Jian'er saw the hint of hope on her eldest cousin's face, she sighed inwardly. Since ancient times, whether it was passing the imperial examination or making money in business, one had to kill the person one loved first.
This matter cannot be told to Qiao Xier for the time being, let her live her life in peace. Once there is clear evidence, we will cut the Gordian knot quickly. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one.
Today, everyone in the village knew that the Qiao family was collecting chicken mushrooms.
Those who found chicken mushrooms would bring them directly to the Qiao family to sell.
After one morning, we had collected twelve kilograms.
At noon, the men who had worked in the fields came back one after another. The eldest and second oldest Qiao were carrying a large bundle of firewood on their shoulders.
"It's strange. Last time we saw some insect pests, but today we didn't see any insects. We were just busy pulling weeds." Dacheng said.
"Could it be that our family has started to get lucky? Even the bugs don't come to eat our wheat anymore." Qiao Lao San muttered.
"Is there really no pests?" Mrs. Qiao was a little surprised: "Impossible."
There are many insect pests on wheat, including wheat aphids, wheat red spiders, wheat midges, etc. Because of these pests, the wheat harvest is only half of what it looks like. The yield is not high to begin with, and the ears are eaten empty.
Their method of treating insect pests is to sprinkle wood ash or ginger mustard water on the pests, but this can only provide temporary relief. After a while, the pests will come back again.
"If you don't believe me, go and see. We saw a lot of fallen insects on the ground. They are all dead." Boss Qiao said as he put firewood into the woodshed.
Seeing that there were still two dishes that had not been cooked, Mrs. Qiao really wanted to take a look.
When she came back, everyone was silent.
"Yeah, why did these bugs die inexplicably?"
They were preventing pests. When they saw wheat plants that were severely damaged, they not only used wood ash and mustard ginger water, but also had to shake the insects off with their own hands. It was very hard work.
When Old Mrs. Qiao went to the field, she saw that the wheat plants were all clean and neither wood ash nor mustard ginger water had been used.
"Grandma, are the insect pests in our rice fields serious?" Qiao Jianer suddenly asked.
“It’s not as serious as wheat, but there are also pests, which cause yield reductions every year.”
Qiao Jianer said, "Brother Dayong, Brother Dacheng, after dinner, go borrow some spray bottles. Get the bigger ones."
There is a small spray bottle at home, which is used to spray ginger mustard water. I spray it first and then sprinkle some wood ash, but one is not enough.
"Jian'er, what do you want to borrow the spray bottle for?" Dayong asked.
"You'll know when you borrow it."
Old Mrs. Qiao said disdainfully, "Sickle asked you to borrow it, so you went to borrow it. Why are you asking so many questions?"
After dinner, Dayong Dacheng went to borrow a watering can.
Qiao Jianer sat on the edge of the bed in the room and bought a bottle of universal pesticide with gold coins.
