Chapter 221: Borrowing a Carriage
Qiao Huapingwan thanked Wu Yourong for his kindness and took a few children to drive back to Liujin Village.
Sister Du fed Xiao Aye a bowl of egg custard. Xiao Aye was lying in the straw shed of Sister Du’s house, sleeping soundly.
Qiao Huaping was so in love that she asked Mei Qingyao to carry Xiao Aye back. She took a pack of snacks, smiled and waved her hand to greet Sister Du's little daughter, and gave the snacks to Sister Du's little daughter.
Sister Du's little daughter hugged her snacks and thanked Qiao Huaping with breasts: "Thank you Aunt Qiao."
Sister Du smiled helplessly and shook her head, but didn't see Qiao Huaping, so she refused.
However, when Qiao Huaping walked back, Sister Du remembered something and hurriedly grabbed Qiao Huaping and told: "By the way, you are driving to the county today, and many people have seen it. Someone is coming to inquire with me today.
When do you drive to the county town on weekdays? Judging from the situation, you probably want to take your car.”
Qiao Huaping understood and nodded, "Sister, I understand."
Sister Du felt that chatting with Qiao Huaping was comfortable, and she didn't need to say anything thoroughly. With a little mention, Qiao Huaping knew her intention.
She smiled and said, "Sure, just know what you know."
Qiao Huaping had long expected someone to come to borrow a car, but she didn't expect that someone would think of her for the first time she went out.
The next morning, someone came to the door with something in his hand, and he wanted to borrow a carriage.
He was very polite and very polite, but Qiao Huaping still declined: "I'm afraid it won't work. Although this horse is gentle, after putting on this shackle, in addition to me and the children at home, he also has his own temper.
This party went to the county and was not very relieved - I asked my aunt to forgive me. I was really worried. If something happened to me because of this horse on the way, what should I do?"
This is reasonable and unreasonable. It is really hard to say anything else.
She always doesn’t have that face, so she asked Mrs. Qiao to drive her to the county in person!
Qiao Huaping's things were confiscated and sent the person out.
When Sister Du saw this, she sneered: "She knows what she knows about... If you don't buy this carriage, will she not go to the county?"
Carriages are very expensive. In the entire village, except for Qiao Huaping, there is no one with carriages.
In the past, when the villagers of Liujin Village went to the county, they either waited for a mule cart on the side of the road or walked over by themselves. Anyway, they had escaped from famine and had dozens of miles of mountain roads.
Sister Du stuffed a handful of wild melon seeds from her home, saying, "I tell you, don't be rude, your carriage is not bought by others. What should they do when they didn't have your carriage before?
What else is it."
Qiao Huaping knew that Sister Du was thinking about her, so she nodded with a smile.
A few days later, Qiao Huaping's yard was closed, and the big job came to an end.
Looking at the red tiles and white walls and the beautiful house, Qiao Huaping felt a sense of satisfaction.
The Mei family's children were also very excited and ran around the yard.
But it’s not enough to be completed at the moment, and it still needs to be repaired in various ways, so it will cost a lot of money.
Qiao Huaping calculated the money from her family. She bought a lot of things these days, and there were only 540 taels left. It was more than enough to repair the yard.
However, in times of peace, Qiao Huaping felt that he would still have to earn some money.
If you stock up on more money, you won’t feel panic!
Most of the things she stocked in her space in modern times are not suitable for sale, but the rare herbs grown in the space are getting richer and more abundant as they grow, and they are of excellent quality. Qiao Huaping plans to sell some more herbs.
Since we are going to sell herbs, Shanyitang, which has established a good cooperative relationship, is naturally the first choice.
On this day, Qiao Huaping had to drive to Shanyitang to sell herbs.
Because the carriage had to put some herbs in the space to cover up the existence of the space, Qiao Huaping did not carry the children.
I never thought that before this came out of the village, someone shouted at her loudly: "Miss Qiao, Madam Qiao!"
Qiao Huaping tied the reins and raised his eyebrows and looked over.
Seeing the woman who came to her before and wanted to borrow a carriage, she was holding a basin of washed clothes in her hand, she said excitedly: "Miss Qiao, are you going to the county town? Why didn't you say it earlier?
...Wait for me for a while, I will put down my clothes and go to the county town with you, right?"
Qiao Huaping put herbs in the carriage, but he didn't even bring his own children. How could he take others with him?
She wasn't so fond of favors that she would be so fond of her, so she immediately refused: "Aunt, I have something in my car, I'm afraid I can't pull you."
The woman held the wooden basin and her face looked a little bit bad.
But Qiao Huaping bought a carriage for his own convenience, so he would not care about others.
She nodded politely to the woman, shook the reins and drove away in the carriage.
The woman was still in the same place and took a little angry: "If you don't bring it, don't bring it! Is it amazing to buy a carriage? Who cares about it?"
The villagers who were washing clothes with her saw that she was very resentful in her words, so they looked at her more in surprise.
"Whoever is willing to carry the carriage that Mrs. Qiao earns money and buys, isn't it according to their wishes?" the villager advised, "Besides, if you want to go to the county town, go ten miles eastward,
If you wait by the roadside, you can probably wait for a mule cart.”
The woman holding the wooden basin curled her lips and felt quite disgusted: "There are so many stinky men in the mule cart..."
The villagers had nothing to say and were too lazy to persuade him. They picked up their washed clothes and left.
After the woman returned home, she became more angry when she thought about it, and she talked a few more to her mother-in-law.
But when her mother-in-law was fleeing famine, she really received the benefits of Qiao Huaping.
The mother-in-law immediately raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "Have you grown your skills, right? Madam Qiao, you dare to arrange it?! If you want to go to the county, you can either take a mule cart or walk!"
The woman was a little aggrieved and whispered: "Anyway, Miss Qiao has bought a carriage..."
The mother-in-law was even more angry: "What, I should borrow it if I buy a carriage?! Mrs. Qiao has returned the big house, why don't you lend the empty house?! Don't see Mrs. Qiao on weekdays
It’s easy to talk to, just bully people like this!”
He scolded the woman.
