Qiao Huaping took a huge sum of money and returned to the resting place of Mei's house.
She leaned down and looked as if she was going through the Mei family's luggage to hide something. However, at a certain moment, as if very casually, she put her hand into the sack.
The large pile of copper plates contained in the bag was instantly thrown into the space by Qiao Huaping.
The copper plates were missing from the robe, and Qiao Huaping instantly felt relieved and straightened up refreshed.
Others would just think that she hid all the coins in her luggage.
Who would have thought that she has a portable space on her body?
After doing this, Qiao Huaping stood up, took the remaining pills in the bowl, and went to find the young men who shared her deer blood.
The news that Qiao Huaping had made a lot of money selling pills had spread out. The young disciples never expected that Qiao Huaping would give each of them two pills!
This adds up to more than a hundred articles!
Several young people were moved to pieces.
Are you trying to shirk it by saying you don’t want it? But Qiao Huaping insists on giving it to them.

Qiao Huaping didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand, took the bowl and returned to the resting place of Mei's house.
The children of the Mei family were still playing with their friends outside. Qiao Huaping was idle and went to find Song Yuelan with the piece of linen that Guo Dongshi gave her.
Zhou Xiaoqing was near the resting place of Zhou's family, practicing archery hard against a tree with his bow drawn. When he saw Qiao Huaping coming over, he happily called "Aunt Qiao".
"Are you looking for my mother?" Zhou Xiaoqing said happily, "Wait a minute, I will take you there with me."
Qiao Huaping looked at the sweat on Zhou Xiaoqing's thin face, and her heart softened.
She knew that this child only wanted to practice archery well so that her mother could live a good life.
Qiao Huaping couldn't help but soften his voice: "You have to combine work with rest. You practice so hard every day and you broke your arm. What will you do next?"
Zhou Xiaoqing pursed her lips and whispered: "Aunt Qiao, I understand."
Qiao Huaping didn't say much, and the two of them turned around to the rock wall in front of them, which was where the Zhou family rested.
Song Yuelan was sewing something with her head down. Sweat fell on her hands. She stopped her sewing and raised her hand to wipe her forehead.
Zhou Xiaoqing felt a little sad.
Her two aunts and several younger brothers and sisters could all rest, but her mother, even if she was resting, was still busy with the family.
In fact, if you really want to say it, this is considered a good thing now, but it was really true in the past. Whenever Zhou Xu didn't get her way, she would be beaten and scolded at every turn, and she wouldn't be able to eat, and Song Yuelan couldn't stop doing this job.
It was only later that Song Yuelan, who had been exposed to the tricks used by Qiao Huaping several times, used them on Zhou Xu in front of the villagers. Needless to say, the situation was better than before.
After all, Song Yuelan cried so much in front of the villagers that the Zhou Xu family's reputation was greatly reduced. At least on the surface, Zhou Xu was worried about her few reputations in Liujin Village, and she didn't treat Song Yuelan as much as before.
Harsh and often beaten and scolded.
But it’s only slightly better——
Song Yuelan and her husband Zhou Heishi always advised her that her mother just had that temper, so she could just endure it until she fled, and then settled down.
After hearing this, Song Yuelan just wanted to sneer.
Is it okay to be patient?
She was too lazy to pay attention to Zhou Heishi, and just replied with a cold expression: "I only have this temper, you just have to bear with it."
Zhou Heishi was so speechless that he could not speak.
After that, Zhou Heishi faced Song Yuelan, always looking like he was hesitant to speak.
It's a pity that Song Yuelan no longer cares about Zhou Heishi as much as before.
She was deeply shocked when she saw that Li Cuixiang would rather be divorced than leave the Zheng family.
She originally thought about making peace with her when she settled down, but look at how courageous Li Cuixiang was. Why couldn't she take that step?
…
Zhou Xiaoqing came to Song Yuelan with Qiao Huaping holding a piece of cloth and called her "Mother". Qiao Huaping also smiled and called: "Sister-in-law Song."
Song Yuelan put down her sewing: "Sister Qiao, why are you here?"
Her eyes fell on the cloth held in Qiao Huaping's arms, and she paused slightly.
Qiao Huaping said with a smile: "I got a new piece of coarse cloth... That's right. Although I am pretty good at sewing and mending, making clothes is really difficult for me. Sister-in-law Song, you have always been good at needlework and can do it."
Can you help me make some simple summer clothes for the children to keep them cooler? I'll give you the money."
Song Yuelan's breathing suddenly became rapid.
What she was doing was the needlework that her sister-in-law had given her earlier.
My sister-in-law said something nice, saying that she had always liked my sister-in-law's craftsmanship. My sister-in-law had nothing to do, so she might as well make some clothes for her little nephew.
The sister-in-law was so excited that she put the cloth on Song Yuelan and left without any other words.
It’s not enough if Song Yuelan doesn’t do it.
Now Qiao Huaping came holding the piece of cloth and gave her a good explanation.
——Now that she has a job, her sister-in-law will not leave any work to her anymore, right?
Song Yuelan came back to her senses and immediately responded: "I can do it, yes."
She waved her hands, "Just don't mention the money. You saved Xiao Qing's life earlier. What does it matter if I make a few clothes?"
"How can it be calculated like this? To be honest, Xiao Qing saved our family's life earlier." Qiao Huaping said very forcefully, "I will definitely give you the money."
Song Yuelan looked at Qiao Huaping who was very determined to give money, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "...otherwise, don't give me any money. Can you give me the scraps left over from making clothes? I
I want to make one for my little girl, too."
In the last sentence, she said in a very soft voice, "...Anyway, even if you give me the money, it won't reach my hands."
Qiao Huaping's ears were very strong and he heard this sentence.
She frowned slightly.
The Zhou family's money has always been kept together, and Zhou Xu is in charge of the money.
In other words, all the money earned by the people in the Zhou family must be turned over to the government. When it is necessary to spend it, they can ask the Zhou Xu family for it. The financial power is all in the hands of the Zhou Xu family.
Song Yuelan has been in the family for more than ten years, but she only gave birth to a daughter, Zhou Xiaoqing. Zhou Xu treated her extremely harshly, so how could she be willing to spend money on Song Yuelan and Zhou Xiaoqing?
That's why Song Yuelan asked to change her reward into cloth.
Qiao Huaping had an idea. Seeing that the other two daughters-in-law of the Zhou family were looking over here frequently, she raised her voice slightly: "Okay, I don't want money, but cloth, right? No problem! That's settled then!"
There is often barter in transactions in the village, and it is blameless for them to do so.
Although the other two daughters-in-law of the Zhou family were very reluctant, they could not say anything.
Song Yuelan smiled happily and rolled her eyes.
When Xiaoqing was growing, her clothes were piled with patches, and her hands and legs were even shorter.
Now that Qiao Huaping has brought this piece of cloth, she has a job. Not only can she get rid of most of the housework that she shouldn't do, but she can also change Xiaoqing's clothes!
