Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 225, young man
Xiao Qing glanced at Ah Luan from the corner of his eye, but remained silent.

"Let's talk in the courtyard!" Xiao Qing said.

Ma Xian hummed, and followed Xiao Qing back home.

After the three of them arrived home, Mrs. Zhou looked at Ah Luan curiously when she saw that her mother brought back a stranger.

The person's hair was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, his face was unclear and rough, like a savage, he looked quite strong, but he didn't know where he came from.

Mother left for a day and a night, and she also worried for a day and a night, how could she bring such a person back?

"Mom, what happened to you on the mountain? After going for so long, the children and I are very worried about you!" Zhou asked with concern.

Xiao Qing handed her the bamboo basket: "Some things happened, thanks to this strong man Ah Luan, otherwise we would all die in the mountains this time."

"Ah?" Zhou was startled, she read: "Dead?"

Xiao Qing hummed.

Hearing Xiao Qing's words, Ma Xian and Zhou looked at A Luan differently.

Zhou no longer felt that this man looked like a savage, and felt a little more grateful: "Thanks to the strong man for saving my mother's life, our family is very grateful!"

Ah Luan glanced at her, then turned his back and remained silent.

Seeing his contemptuous look, Mrs. Zhou didn't know how to respond, so she just lowered her head and stopped talking.

"Little Chengniang, get him a meal first, and then go to the cellar to clean up an open space for him, and then go to the county town to buy him a bed, measure his size, and give him a suit of clothes." Master Qu said, let him help our family in the future and live in our house temporarily." Xiao Qing said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou frowned tightly, let this person live in their house?
They are a group of orphans and widows, how can a man live in them?
"Okay, don't look at it, he is Lord Qu's man. In the future, he will build aqueducts with the people in the county and lead them into the mountains. Let him live in our house temporarily. When the canals are repaired, he will leave. During this period of time at home, asking him to help look after the cellar is considered a matter!" Xiao Qing ordered.

Zhou replied hesitantly, looking back and forth at Ah Luan, always feeling that something was wrong.

Xiao Qing saw that A Luan was looking at her house, and said with a smile: "Brother A Luan, my house is only so big and simple, so I can only feel wronged and live in the cellar first."

Ah Luan nodded silently, without the slightest bit of disgust in his eyes.

"Then you look around first, I have something to tell Brother Xian!" Xiao Qing said.

Ah Luan hummed, turned around and walked to the back of the house.

After seeing the people leaving, Xiao Qing asked the horse to sit down first, and listened to him talk about the broken kilns at Fang's house.

Ma Xian said Fang Huai's words in all likelihood.

In the end, he didn't forget to add: "Shopkeeper Xiao, you want a cave, my brothers are all good hands, and within a month, I will definitely build you a cave around Yaoshan."

Xiao Qing frowned and thought about it, Fang Huai really dared to speak up, and wanted to marry her?She believes in his brother ghost!
He must have taken a fancy to her relationship with Shizi.

They couldn't see it, but she remembered clearly that in the early years, Fangjia Village made a fortune by firing tiles and bricks. After tasting the sweetness, they built large cave dwellings and almost requisitioned all the favorable places on the border of Yaoshan Mountain. At that time, the business was booming. The Chi family of the Hou Fu looked jealous, so they used their connections and power to take over his family's hottest brick and tile business, and kept the porcelain business in business. The Fang family was chopped off half of the arm by the Hou Fu so far. After the brick and tile stopped burning, , He wanted to use various methods to get in touch with the head of the Hou Mansion, but he waited in front of the Hou Mansion for an unknown number of days, but he did not see the Hou Ye and his wife, and the family business could not be ignored, so he gave up looking for someone.

Now Fang Huai knows that her family has business dealings with the Hou's Mansion, and the son of the Hou's Mansion is close to her family. If his family is married to Old Qiao's family, he still wants to return to the brick and tile business a few years ago.

"I can't wait for a month!" Xiao Qing said.

Now it’s October, and it’s winter in November, especially in the north, Yizhou and Qinzhou. These states have almost put on leather jackets. Wait for another month to burn the kiln, and the carbon has already been sold. It's hard to collect.

Ma Xiandao: "Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Fang also said that he only gave you two days, after tomorrow, if you don't agree, even if those broken kilns are rotten into rubble, we won't give it to us!"

Xiao Qing frowned for a moment of deep thought, could this old thing see what she wanted to do?So making things difficult on purpose?
After a while, Xiao Qing couldn't figure it out, and said, "Okay, Brother Xian, I know about this, I will go there tomorrow and see what the shopkeeper of the Fang family thinks!"

Ma Xian nodded solemnly: "Shopkeeper, there are still a few days of work in the back house, and you will need manpower at that time. Our brothers have said that we still want to work with the shopkeeper!"

If Shopkeeper Xiao settles the deal with the broken kiln, they are good kiln burners, no matter what they burn, they can do it well, and they cannot be replaced by Shopkeeper Xiao.

Now all the villages can't get enough to eat, and knowing that her family gives money and food, who wouldn't want to come?

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "That's a good relationship. You said what I thought in my heart. If the broken pot can be discussed, I will trouble you to help me keep an eye on it. Don't worry, you and you brothers, I will not treat you badly!"

As soon as Ma Xian heard this, he understood that shopkeeper Xiao would not let them go and find someone else to work.

He smiled and said, "Succeed, shopkeeper, don't worry, I will definitely keep them all, and let them take their hearts to heart."

Xiao Qing nodded with a slight smile: "Then you go to work first!"

The horse responded first, and got up with a smile and went to the back of the house.

After he left, Xiao Qing's eyes shone fiercely. She had to think about how to solve this matter. She couldn't make friends with her, and she could take down those broken kilns smoothly. She propped her forehead and closed her eyes .

……

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhou went to the county town, bought a bed and some clothes, and returned some cabinets for Ah Luan.

In the cellar, she vacated a space the size of a bed and a closet for Ah Luan, and added a curtain for him to facilitate his dressing and changing.

In the evening, after dinner, Qiao Cheng helped Ah Luan wash his body, and then handed him a knife to clean the beard and messy hair on his face. It was not until evening that Qiao Cheng came back from the cellar, holding Ah messed up the dirty clothes and threw them out.

Qiao Cheng was very happy to take care of Ah Luan, and after listening to the villagers talking about Ah Luan's various deeds in the deep mountains in the afternoon, he admired him quite a lot.

Followed from evening to night, took clothes for him, rubbed his back, and helped him wash up.

After returning to the house happily, Qiao Cheng sat in front of grandma and mother and said, "Grandma, mother, this is the first time I've seen such a good-looking person, even more beautiful than my father! Prettier than Shizi!"

Mrs. Zhou was doing her needlework, lowered her head and laughed at him: "Everyone compares you to your father. In your heart, isn't your father the best person in the world?"

Qiao Cheng said: "Mother, my father is very good, but his appearance is not as good as him. I saw him shaved off his beard just now. He looks like a young man!"

"What young man, what do you know about young man?" Xiao Qing teased him.
