Qiao Huaping declined Wu Yourong's kindness and drove back to Liujin Village with a few children.
Sister Du fed little Aye a bowl of egg custard. Little Aye was lying in the hay shed of Sister Du's house, sleeping soundly.
Qiao Huaping fell in love so much that she asked Mei Qingyao to carry little Aye back. She took a bag of snacks, waved with a smile and waved to the little girl from Sister Du's family, and gave the snacks to the little girl from Sister Du's family.
The little girl from Sister Du's family hugged the snacks and thanked Qiao Huaping with her milky voice: "Thank you, Aunt Qiao."
Sister Du smiled helplessly and shook her head, and did not say anything to Qiao Huaping.
However, when Qiao Huaping walked back, Sister Du remembered something and quickly grabbed Qiao Huaping and told her: "By the way, you drove to the county today, and many people saw it. There are still people who came to inquire with me today.
You usually drive to the county town at any time. Judging from your appearance, I probably want to take your car."
Qiao Huaping understood, nodded and said: "Sister, I understand."
Sister Du felt comfortable chatting with Qiao Huaping, and she didn't even need to explain everything. Qiao Huaping knew what she meant by just mentioning it.
She smiled and said: "Sure, you just have to know what's going on."
Qiao Huaping had already expected that someone would want to borrow the car, but she didn't expect that someone would be interested in her just the first time she went out.
Early the next morning, as expected, someone came to the door carrying something and wanted to borrow a carriage.
The man was very polite and courteous, but Qiao Huaping still declined politely: "I'm afraid it's not possible. Although this horse has a docile temperament, after being put on this yoke, other than me and the children at home, it also has its own temper. I
I've been to the county for a while, but I'm still not at ease - I ask my aunt to forgive me, but I'm really worried. If there is an accident because of this horse on the road, what should I do?"
The refusal was reasonable and the person who came was nonchalant, so it was really hard to say anything else.
She never had that face, so she asked Madam Qiao to drive her to the county in person!
Qiao Huaping also confiscated the things and sent the person out.
When Sister Du saw it, she sneered: "She knows what's going on... If you don't buy this carriage, won't she go to the county?"
Carriages are very expensive. In the whole village, except for Qiao Huaping, no one has a carriage.
In the past, when the villagers of Liujin Village went to the county, they would either wait for a mule cart on the roadside, or walk there by themselves. Anyway, it was not a problem to escape the famine all the way, and the dozens of miles of mountain roads were not a problem.
Sister Du stuffed Qiao Huaping with a handful of home-fried wild melon seeds: "Let me tell you, don't be soft-hearted. Your carriage was not bought to make others easier. What would they have done without your carriage before?
So whatever."
Qiao Huaping knew that Sister Du was thinking about him, so she smiled and nodded.
A few days later, the roof of Qiao Huaping's yard was closed, and the big work was finally over.
Looking at the beautiful house with red tiles and white walls, Qiao Huaping felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.
The children of the Mei family were also very excited and ran around the yard.
It's just that it's not finished yet, and it still needs various refinements, which will cost a lot of money.
Qiao Huaping calculated her family's money. She had bought a lot of things these days, and she had a total of five hundred and forty taels left. After repairing the yard, one was more than enough.
However, being prepared for danger in times of peace, Qiao Huaping felt that it was better to earn more money.
If you have more money in your hands, you won’t panic!
Most of the modern things stored in her space are not suitable for sale, but the rare herbs grown in the space are growing more and more luxuriantly and are in excellent condition. Qiao Huaping plans to sell some more herbs.
Since we want to sell herbal medicine, Shan Yi Tang, which has established a good cooperative relationship, is naturally the first choice.
On this day, Qiao Huaping had to drive to the Good Doctor's Hall to sell herbal medicine.
Because some herbs had to be placed in the carriage to cover up the existence of the space, Qiao Huaping did not carry the children.
Unexpectedly, before she left the village, someone shouted to her: "Ms. Qiao, Miss Qiao!"
Qiao Huaping reined in the reins and looked over with raised eyebrows.
She saw the woman who came to her place earlier and wanted to borrow a carriage, holding a basin of washed clothes in her hand, and said excitedly: "Ms. Qiao, are you going to the county town? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
… Just wait for me for a while, and I’ll put down my clothes and go to the county seat with you, okay?”
Qiao Huaping put herbal medicine in the carriage. She didn't even bring her own children with her, so how could she bring others with her?
She was not one to be coerced by favors, so she immediately refused: "Auntie, I have something in the carriage. I'm afraid I won't be able to pull you in."
The woman was holding a wooden basin, her face somewhat unsightly.
But Qiao Huaping bought the carriage for his own convenience, and he didn't care what others did.
She nodded politely to the woman, shook the reins, and drove the carriage away.
The woman stood there with a bit of anger: "If you don't take it, I won't take it! Buying a carriage is amazing? Who cares?"
The villagers who were washing clothes with her looked at her a few times in surprise when they saw the resentment in her words.
"Mrs. Qiao bought the carriage with her own money. Whoever she is willing to carry or who she is not willing to carry, isn't that just up to her own will?" The villager advised, "Besides, if you want to go to the county seat, walk ten miles east and get there.
If you wait by the roadside, you can probably wait for the mule cart."
The woman holding the wooden basin curled her lips with disgust: "There are so many stinky men on that mule cart..."
The villagers had nothing to say and were too lazy to persuade. They picked up their washed clothes and left.
After the woman returned home, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she talked more to her mother-in-law.
But my mother-in-law really benefited from Qiao Huaping when she was fleeing from famine.
The mother-in-law immediately raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfied: "You have become more capable, right? Madam Qiao, how dare you arrange it?! If you want to go to the county, you can either take a mule cart or walk!"
The woman was still a little aggrieved and defended in a low voice: "Anyway, Mrs. Qiao also bought a carriage..."
The mother-in-law was even more furious: "Why, I bought a carriage and I should lend it to you?! Madam Qiao has also built a big house. How about I lend you the empty house to live in?! Don't you want to see Madam Qiao on weekdays?"
You are easy to talk to, but you bully people like this!"
