"Ms. Qiao is leading a hunting team, and your son is also there?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that your boss also went?"
"Isn't that right! Oops, my boss had just put the rice in his hand and hadn't even taken a few bites yet. When someone said that Mrs. Qiao was going to lead a team to hunt in the forest next door, he immediately jumped up! He handed the bowl to my hand.
As soon as you stuff it in, you have to go get that bow!"
"Hey, my Yao'er is about the same! Tell me, last time he just gave the useless deer blood to Madam Qiao, and Madam Qiao gave him two body-building pills - my Yao'er.
, I forced my old man and I to take the body-building pills. I also said that at my age, I was wasting medicine, but my son didn’t listen. Don’t tell me, after taking the pills,
I feel like my health has really improved a lot! My Yaoer also said that even if he is going to be a guard for Madam Qiao this time, he will follow Madam Qiao into the woods for nothing!"
As soon as she said this, the villagers chatting looked at her with envy:
"Oh, your youngest son is so filial!"
The village woman who took the body-building pills was full of energy!
"Tell me more quickly. I heard that the body-building pills are worth eighty cents each. What are the effects of taking them?"
"Oh, I have something to say at this point - do you remember, I was still coughing a little before, but after eating it, I no longer have a cough, and my waist is no longer so sore after a long day's journey!"
"so good……"
The villagers were discussing it lively.
I don't know who it was, but the topic changed to Qiao Huaping.
The villagers couldn't help but praise Qiao Huaping, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
It's not like there aren't those who say mean things.
A woman said in a sour voice: "...You don't think she is unlucky. She is the one who kills men before she gets married!"
When others took a closer look, it turned out to be Mrs. Xu.
Someone immediately laughed out loud.
The one who laughed the loudest was Sister Du: "Oh, who do I think I am? I keep talking so unluckily. It turns out to be Sister Xu! Sister Xu, your man is also dead, isn't it?
Did you kill your man? Oh, by the way, later your daughter-in-law ran away because she thought the family was too poor. Earlier this year, your son also felt that the family was too poor and ran away. So, you are more unlucky.
These, you have lost your man, your son, your daughter-in-law! How can you have the nerve to talk about Xiao Qiao?"
The villagers also think it makes sense.
Madam Qiao has been helping the village since she was fleeing the famine. She made medicine and taught archery. She also used pills to save the life of the old scholar Guo in the village. Many people used the pills to strengthen their bodies.
Pill, my body is better. Even Dr. Zhu praised it more than once, saying that this body-building pill is very effective. It can be seen that Madam Qiao used a lot of good medicinal materials, and she sold them for 80 yuan at a low price. If this
Outside, how much money you get from selling it is not a problem!
Mrs. Qiao, this is obviously the lucky star in their village!
How can Mrs. Xu be so embarrassed to say such things to others!
Mrs. Xu was extremely embarrassed, her face flushed and she said loudly: "If it weren't for Mr. Qiao's naughty hooves, how could my son have left -"
——Mother Xu’s son fell in love with the original owner, and under the guise of going out to have a career and make a lot of money to marry the original owner, he left his mother and young son and ran away. Mother Xu always felt that the original owner owed her something.
Fortunately, when Qiao Huaping first came to this era, she treated Mrs. Xu severely, which allowed her to calm down for a while and she only dared to say harsh words in private.
This time, when Mrs. Xu heard others praising Qiao Huaping, she couldn't hold it back and made some sarcastic remarks.
Sister Du's face changed and she sneered on the ground: "Mrs. Xu! Are you looking at Xiao Qiao's absence and throwing dirty water on others? Your son is clearly using our Xiao Qiao as a shield. He is so shameless.
With his legs on his body, how could Xiao Qiao, a weak woman, be able to whip him and run away? You have the nerve to bring this matter up all the time, Xiao Qiao. We discerning people don’t know that your son is just a coward who left his wife and children behind and ran away!
...Don’t touch our Xiao Qiao!”
The villagers nodded: "That's right!"
Mrs. Xu had a dark face and said angrily: "Don't cry when you are unlucky!" She took her grandson's hand and turned away.
The villagers were too lazy to care about Mrs. Xu anymore, and started talking about the situation of the hunting team.
Someone laughed and said: "As long as Mrs. Qiao is here, the worst thing is that she won't be left with nothing!"
Everyone laughed.
Mrs. Zhou Xu was listening. Although Mrs. Xu and her had the same surname as Xu, and they were related to each other, she would not take the risk of public outrage by standing up for Mrs. Xu.
Zhou Xu's eyes turned red with envy at the way the villagers protected Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao was just a widow with four oil bottles!
Now they have become the treasures of the villagers!
Aren't you just good at medicine and archery?
What's so great!
Zhou Xu grinded his teeth.
It's a pity that none of the three sons in her family are talented, but the loser granddaughter is somewhat useful in archery, so she also picked up a bow and followed her.
Zhou Xu's eyes fell on Song Yuelan who was standing aside, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.
Song Yuelan sensed Zhou Xu's eyes, but she ignored her and just lowered her head and continued sewing, praying in her heart that her daughter would return safely from hunting.
…
Everyone in the village knows that if Qiao Huaping leads a hunting team, there will definitely be no harvest.
But they didn't expect that it would be such a battle -
No one who went hunting with Qiao Huaping was empty-handed!
Some were carrying deer in pairs, some were carrying pheasants, and some were carrying hares, but none of them were in vain.
At first glance, it is full of rewards!
This is not over yet. At the end, there are several shirtless young men, covered in sweat, carrying two thick wooden sticks on their shoulders, carrying an extremely heavy wild boar!
When these people came from the mountain road, the villagers in Liujin Village all looked at them!
It was different from the wild boar that Qiao Huaping hunted earlier. This wild boar was astonishingly big and fat. It weighed nearly three hundred kilograms at least! It was a giant!
The villagers in Liujin Village are excited!
Qiao Huaping carried a fox with fur as red as fire and followed him, smiling as he walked over.
Village Chief Lu came over excitedly and incoherently: "These, so many?... Who hunted all these?"
Qiao Huaping smiled and said: "This is the credit of the hunt. Everyone has contributed, and the money from the sale tomorrow will be shared equally by everyone."
As soon as Qiao Huaping finished speaking, there was a lot of cheers from the side!
Everyone was so excited. There were so many preys, and even if there were many people there, they could still get a few taels of silver without saying a word!
