The woman was so frightened that she had no idea. She kept saying, "I'll pay! I'll pay, I'll pay! Can't I pay?"
Qiao Chu then put him down, and the woman took out a silver bean with shaking hands, and said distressedly: "I haven't confiscated your care fee today!"
Qiao Chu sneered: "One silver bean is not enough, I need another one for medical expenses."
The woman's flesh was so painful that she screamed: "Just now you clearly said that I don't need to pay for the medical expenses!"
"It was just now, but now you have delayed the entire Feishi Village people from going home for dinner! You will have to pay for it!"
Qiao Chu sneered, stretched out his hand and grabbed her skirt again.
Seeing that her feet were about to leave the ground again, the woman closed her eyes and shouted like she was cutting flesh: "Here! I will compensate you!"
After the woman got off the ground, Qiao Chu took two silver beans and went directly to the place selling food. He bought several cakes with one silver bean and gave one cake to each person.
Everyone didn't want it, and they all refused: "No, no! This is to compensate for the child's injuries."
Qiao Chu said with a smile: "I have healed the child's injuries. This is for everyone's stomach comfort on the road. After all, it has delayed everyone's return home."
Seeing Qiao Chu being so polite, everyone happily accepted the cake and ate the cakes all the way home.
Qiao Chu also gave Bai Shan a piece of pancake. Bai Shan took off a small piece and handed it to his sister, then gnawed it himself.
Bai Guili advised Qiao Chu: "Qingshan family, why don't you go there starting tomorrow? Baishan has a bad temper and will suffer a lot. It's easy to get into fights in the nursery."
After all, he is the naughtiest boy in the village. How can Bai Shan have such a soft temper? If he goes back tomorrow, he will inevitably get into a fight.
Besides, today Qiao Chu wants to take away two silver beans from the woman in the nursery. Tomorrow, the woman will definitely not dare to take Bai Shan.
Qiao Chu hesitated for a moment and asked Bai Guili: "Is there any woman in the village who is willing to help take care of the children? I'll give you silver beans."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Dashu said: "Mrs. Qingshan, there is someone in the village who is willing to take care of the baby, but the price is expensive. A baby costs five silver beans a month. She also has to prepare food to send to the baby."
"Who is it?" Qiao Chu became curious.
"That woman has a weird temper..." Bai Guili had no choice but to explain.
That woman came here with the cook from the village a few years ago.
The cook used to cook at the quarry, but later he stopped doing it for some unknown reason and ran to Feishi Village, where he bought a shabby house that no one wanted and lived in it.
It didn't take long for the woman to come.
The cook would also teach the women in the village how to cook on weekdays, and he actually taught two of them. One went to the quarry to cook for the stone examiner and the clerks, and received monthly wages.
Another one went to cook in a restaurant in Fucheng and heard that the wages were very high.
Because of this, the women in the village are willing to learn to cook from him when they are not busy. Whoever wants to learn to cook can just bring him the ingredients on weekdays and eat on the spot after cooking.
The woman took care of the children of the villagers, but she also taught them how to read.
For this reason, women receive more silver beans. One baby costs five silver beans a month, and they don't care about eating.
There was only one child in the village whose family was willing to spend money to send him there.
Therefore, the woman could only harvest five silver beans a month, which was barely enough to eat.
Qiao Chu decided to go take a look tomorrow without saying a word.
After returning home, Chen Qingshan quickly boiled water for cooking.
At the end of the day, the two children also ate some pancakes in the morning and evening. Qiao Chu felt guilty and asked Chen Qingshan to boil water for the children to bathe. After eating, he sent them to bed.
After the two children fell asleep, Qiao Chu used spiritual power to clean up their bodies as usual, and then quietly told Chen Qingshan what he had discovered today.
Chen Qingshan was shocked!
"You mean..."
Qiao Chu nodded: "Yes! I suspect that is Yuan Yu."
In this Xuanwu world, real good things must be bought with Yuan Yu.
Silver beans were made by the government using silver and some broken jade that had lost its power, and could only be used to buy the lowest-end food and daily necessities.
The one that is really useful is Yuan Yu.
But the Yuan Jade veins have always been under the control of the imperial city, heavily guarded, and no one can get their hands on it.
But now, Qiao Chu discovered a vein of Yuan Yu.
The couple looked at each other: This is an opportunity, but the risk is also very high, so we need to plan carefully...
Early the next morning, Chen Qingshan made breakfast early, fed the two children, and then sent them with Qiao Chu to the home the village chief had mentioned.
There are two thatched houses in a row. The one on the left is very clean, but the one on the right smells of oil smoke.
Obviously, the cook lives on the right.
Chen Qingshan recognized the cook when he saw him: "Are you the one I rescued that day?"
The cook, who had lost one leg, was unshaven, leaning on a cane and nodded, but showed no expression, let alone a word of thanks, and turned around and entered the house.
A middle-aged woman also came out of the thatched house on the left, she must be Mrs. Luo the village chief mentioned.
After hearing Chen Qingshan's words, Madam Luo glanced at Chen Qingshan.
Seeing the two children beside Qiao Chu, Madam Luo's eyes flashed slightly again.
Qiao Chu got straight to the point: "Is this Mrs. Luo? I would like to ask you to take care of these two children for me during the day."
"Five silver beans a month for a baby." Mrs. Luo didn't waste any words.
Qiao Chu didn't waste any time, and handed five silver beans and a cloth bag directly to the woman: "This is today's food, and here are the silver beans. Give half of it first, and the other half at the end of the month."
This is the rule, so Mrs. Luo simply accepted it.
The weight of the food made her pause slightly: there was so much food, the two children couldn't finish it.
This new cultivator has prepared his own share?!
He is a thoughtful person.
Then Mrs. Luo nodded: "Okay, put the baby down and you can go."
"Mom..." Bai Yu saw Qiao Chu leaving and immediately started to cry.
Qiao Chu was stunned for a moment.
Was she crying because of herself?
Or the girl who was burned to ashes?
Mrs. Luo, however, hugged the child and walked inside: "You can go. She will cry even longer if you are here."
Qiao Chu thought about it and said to Bai Shan who was standing at the door: "Be obedient here and I will pick you up in the evening."
Seeing Bai Shan nod, Qiao Chu reached out and rubbed the top of his head, then walked away.
Baishan waited until Qiao Chu left so that no one could see him, then reached out and touched the top of his head that Qiao Chu had just touched, then turned around and entered the house.
When they arrived at the quarry, Chen Qingshan was still working hard, while Qiao Chu was wandering around.
Over time, this basalt rock has accumulated a lot of soil in the gaps, and many shrubs and various miscellaneous trees have grown, forming a forest over time.
Qiao Chu expanded the scope today and went deep into the forest.
When Bai Guili saw Qiao Chu walking into the mountains, he immediately became anxious: "Qingshan family member! Stop."
After Qiao Chu stopped, Bai Guili trotted over and said, "You can't wander around. There are wild animals in the mountains over there, and they will hurt people."
Qiao Chu nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine if I'm careful."
"Oh! You..." Bai Guili turned to Chen Qingshan to persuade him.
But Chen Qingshan said with a naive smile: "It's okay, she is not weak."
Bai Guili stamped his foot: That’s it!
If other men don’t worry, why should I be a bad person?!
Qiao Chu dispersed his spiritual power and walked deeper into the forest along the other side he walked yesterday...
