Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

When Qiao Zhengxian returned in the afternoon and heard that Qiao Wanjun had come looking for him, he asked his eldest grandson, Qiao Shiyan, to call Qiao Wanjun.

Qiao Wanjun arrived at the village head's house. He had brought the spare ribs there in the morning but hadn't brought them back; this time he went empty-handed.

When they arrived at the village head's house, Qiao Jingjing told him about her idea of ​​renting a house and acquiring land. Since Qiao Jingjing had mentioned it before, the village head didn't find it surprising. After telling him the price, he wrote him a lease agreement and collected six months' rent.

"Wan Jun, we still have some time. Let's measure the area today and then go to the city tomorrow."

"I'll do whatever Uncle Xian says. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Well, it's just my duty, so it's not a problem."

After measuring the wasteland, the socially awkward Qiao Wanjun grabbed the keys and slipped away as fast as he could.

When I got home, everything was already packed. Actually, I didn't have much luggage, just some old blankets and clothes.

When you arrive at your new home, first set up a small, clean area to put your luggage, and then clean the house.

Three people were cleaning up. Xiaoming helped out, handing rags to his older sister, holding the ladder for his father, and getting the broom for his mother. The youngest in the family was actually the busiest.

It took two hours to clean up. The main house was for the couple, and the side room next to the main house was for Xiaoming, because he was young and they were worried he wouldn't be used to sleeping alone, so he was closer to his parents.

There were two rooms in the west wing. Qiao Jingjing lived in one room, and she kept the key to the other room, claiming that she wanted to cultivate seedlings. She prevented anyone from entering or leaving, making it easier to tamper with things later.

100 discs wouldn't fit, but that's okay, we can put them in Qiao Jingjing's room. Few people would go directly into a girl's boudoir, but her mother knows her skills and abilities, so it's fine for her to go in.

Finally, there's a kitchen at home! Tonight, Qiao Jingjing decided to cook a delicious meal to treat herself.

Cut the ribs into pieces, braise some and reserve the rest for soup. Find a white radish among the vegetables Lin received in the afternoon, slice two pieces of ginger and stew it with the blanched ribs. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and add the radish pieces to simmer.

I'll stir-fry some water spinach and steam some egg custard. I really wanted to drizzle a spoonful of seafood soy sauce on the egg custard, but it would add color, so I decided against it.

Although soy sauce existed in this era, it tasted quite different and was easily detectable by taste.

The aroma was irresistible, whetting everyone's appetite. Qiao Jingjing and Xiao Shiming were alright, as she often used the space to have extra meals.

But the little guy was still greedy. He stood on tiptoe, sniffing the aroma, even though he wasn't tall enough to reach the stove.

The youngest son of Qiao Wansong next door, Shitou, smelled the aroma and started clamoring for meat, refusing to eat the eggs in his bowl.

Separated by a courtyard wall, Qiao Jingjing and the others naturally heard the crying, but none of them had the intention of being good Samaritans.

This is meat! Who would willingly give it away? Besides, the couple next door, Qiao Wansong and his wife, are not easy to deal with; they like to take advantage of others and gossip.

Apart from Huang, the second wife, who was willing to befriend Wan, most people in the village were unwilling to associate with their family.

Qiao Wansong's mother, Old Lady Wei, was getting anxious seeing how much her grandson was craving food.

They assumed that the Qiao Wanxing family, who used to live next door, had returned. They used to frequently use their status as elders to come and ask for favors.

"Don't cry, my dear grandson. It's just a few pieces of meat. Grandma will get you two. Don't cry, my sweetie." Madam Wan was also drooling, thinking that maybe she could get a bite. It looked so delicious.

After calming her grandson down, Grandma Wei strode out of her yard.

Qiao Jingjing had just finished stir-frying water spinach and was about to call a few people for dinner when she heard a loud knocking on the door.

Who would come to the door at this time?

Because food is precious, unless there is an emergency, most people assume that they will not visit each other during mealtimes, otherwise it would be awkward for both parties.

Qiao Jingjing placed the water spinach on the table; the rest were still in the pot and hadn't been served.

When Lin opened the door and saw Old Lady Wei standing there, she knew something bad was going to happen, so she didn't lower her hand to open the door, which was a way of blocking Old Lady Wei.

But she underestimated Old Lady Wei's shamelessness.

"Why are you staying here? I thought Wanxing had come back."

"Aunt Wei, we rented this small courtyard from the village head. The house isn't cleaned up yet, and it's quite dusty, so please don't come in and sit down."

Before she could close the door, Old Mrs. Wei pushed her way in.

Qiao Jingjing watched coldly as the old lady forced her way in, her slanted eyes scanning left and right; her skin was truly as thick as a city wall.

Seeing her looking around and sniffing something, you could tell what she was up to. And when she opened her mouth, it was utterly speechless:

"Hey, Wan Jun, you'd better keep an eye on your wife. She just stopped this old woman from coming in. We're from the same village and neighbors, and she didn't even invite me in for a chat. She's really ill-mannered."

Lin was really annoyed by this person. Not only was he being unreasonable, but he also tried to sow discord between himself and his own family. Who would want to come knocking at this hour?

Grandma Wei pretended to be touring the kitchen, her eyes fixed on the food on the table. Although she didn't see any meat, there was white rice. She said insincerely:

"Oh dear, you moved without even telling us. This is so embarrassing." Qiao Jingjing sneered inwardly. This old woman was clearly here to freeload.

She stepped forward and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Grandma Wei, we just moved here and have a lot of things to do. We really didn't have time to inform you. If there's nothing else, you should go back first."

Old Mrs. Wei's face changed, and she pointed at the dishes on the table, saying, "You family are such stingy people! You're eating such good food, but you won't share any with us. My grandson is crying his eyes out at home, how can you bear to do this to us!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanjun couldn't help but say, "Aunt Wei, what you're saying is too harsh. Why should we share the vegetables we bought with our own money with you?"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Wei immediately started throwing a tantrum: "So you're bullying me because I'm old? I'm going to report you to the village head!" With that, she turned and walked out.

Qiao Wanjun quickly stopped her and kindly advised, "Aunt Wei, please don't be angry."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Jingjing grabbed Old Lady Wei.

"You're really disrespectful to your elders. I'm so fed up with your tantrums and shameless behavior. I'm exhausted after a long afternoon and finally get to eat, and you've ruined my mood. If you want to freeload, at least have the attitude of taking advantage. You're not welcome here."

She was dragged all the way to the door, muttering incoherently, while the old lady continued to curse, "You wretched girl, you unfilial brat, I'm going to sue you."

Qiao Jingjing grabbed the old lady and pushed her outside, continuing:

"This push is in return for the push you gave my mother earlier. Also, if you want to make trouble, go ahead and make trouble. There will always be times when your Stone is alone, and I will beat him every time I see him. Go ahead and complain, and let's see how many times your grandson's bones can withstand my beatings!"

The last sentence was spoken through gritted teeth, and the fierce look in his eyes momentarily frightened Old Lady Wei, making her forget to cry and make a fuss.

"Old woman, just wait and see."

She slammed the door shut after saying that. Thinking of the strength in that brat's hands, and then of her beloved grandson, Old Mrs. Wei didn't dare take the risk. She only dared to grumble a few words to vent her frustration before rubbing her wrist and heading home.
