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

Chapter 70, Looking for someone to build a house ([-] more)
No matter it is modern or ancient times, Xiao Qing will never let his family members be bullied, especially people like Qin Qiao, he must not be allowed to be bullied.

Xiao Qing sat in the yard to catch her breath, and she clasped her fists to calm down.

When Qin came back, she wanted to go to the house and ask Er Jing to come back. Ever since her mother said that she was going to build a house, Er Jing started to walk around the back during the two days of her rest. If he saw Qin Qiao wanting to beat her just now, maybe The second classic has already started.

It's just that my mother was sitting in the yard, and she walked over timidly.

She walked up to her mother and called softly, "Mother..."

She didn't know what to say, she was scared, very scared, she didn't know what to be afraid of, but she was very scared!
Hearing her trembling voice, Xiao Qing seemed to be frightened. She still had a lot of things to do, and she didn't want to hear her complaints and reasons.

"Go and do whatever you need to do. Er Jing is behind the house, go and call him!"

If she can't accept this, there will be many things she can't digest in the future.

After Xiao Qing finished speaking, she got up and wanted to go out. She was going to find someone to build a house.

Seeing her mother leaving, Mrs. Qin went out of the yard. She looked at her mother's back in a daze. After believing this, no one would dare to bully their old Qiao's family again, not even her mother's family!
Apart from being afraid, the Qin family was more at ease. Others saw Lao Qiao's family as being old and weak, women and children, and often laughed at them and bullied them.

Xiao Qing squinted and looked at the fork in the village road. She didn't quite remember where the old Ma's house went, so she could only grope based on her memory.

Alas, if I knew it earlier, I would have asked Mrs. Qin before coming out.

The reason why she went to Lao Ma's house was because of his son Ma Xian.

Ma Xian once worked in Fangjia Village for six or seven years.

Fang Huai, a wealthy householder in Fangjia Village in the neighboring village, made his fortune by burning kilns, selling bricks and tiles, and selling porcelain. Some people in the village worked under his hands, and they also helped build houses for various families. In the past few years, there has been a severe drought, and they can’t even eat. , the bricks and porcelain could not be sold, and many cave dwellings were abandoned. The Fang family abandoned several cave dwellings, one of which was not far from their home, at the foot of Yaoshan Mountain.

They burn kilns, sell tiles and green bricks all the year round, and often build houses for others. Although Ma Xian does all the follower work, the villagers say that he is good at craftsmanship, and several houses in the village are also built by him.

Speaking of which, Ma Xian is already a veteran, and he is also a good kiln burner.

After walking back and forth several times at the fork in the road, Xiao Qing finally found Lao Ma's house.

Lao Ma's house is on the westernmost side behind Jiao's house, no wonder the original owner had the impression that it was closer to Jiao's house.

When she came to the gate of the courtyard, she saw the old horse man squatting at the door sharpening a knife, she smiled and walked up: "Uncle, are you sharpening the knife?"

When the old horse heard the sound, he looked up and saw that it was the daughter-in-law of the old Qiao's family, and immediately smiled.

These days, because Old Qiao's family often uses a carriage, he can earn a few pennies almost every other day, and when he comes back from the county town, he can also buy some millet for the children at home.

Thinking that Mrs. Xiao ran over in person, whether there is a job coming, she quickly put down the knife: "Isn't this Erjing Niang? Are you going to the county this afternoon?"

Xiao Qing stopped and talked to him: "Uncle, I don't need a carriage this afternoon. I came here to find Brother Xian. Is he at home?"

When Lao Ma heard that she was looking for Brother Xian, he didn't know what was going on, but if it was about making money, then there should be no delay.

"I'm at home, I'm at home! I'll take you in to find him!" The old horse got up and took Xiao Qing to the yard, saying, "This bastard has been resting at home for two years, and the fields don't produce wheat. There is no work, he can only lie down at home, and today he is taking the children to play with dirt in the house."

When Xiao Qing heard it, it's good to be idle, it's good to be idle, if he has work to do, she still doesn't know how to ask him to help.

"Uncle, I have a lot of family members, as you can see, the family is crowded into two thatched huts, and there are gossips in the village. I am an old woman, and these gossips are nothing to me, but the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law always If you are crowded together, you will be criticized? I was thinking of asking Brother Xian to help me build a few mud-tiled houses for my family before winter comes, so that the children can live in to avoid the wind and cold."

As soon as Lao Ma heard that he wanted his elder brother to build a house, it was a good thing. Brother Xian was lazy at home every day, and he was about to grow moldy.

But I didn't expect that the old Qiao's family could build a house in this drought year. The kilns of the rich family of Fang's family didn't burn, and the old Qiao's family could afford to build a house. Is this okay?

Thinking of these few days, going to the county town in a horse-drawn carriage for a few pennies, the winter jujube, dogwood, mushrooms and chestnuts, can these really make so much money that a house can be built?

"Sister-in-law said that it doesn't matter if the adults are cold, but you can't wrong the child." Old Ma smiled and asked: "Sister-in-law is a capable person. The rotten things on the mountain can also be turned into silver. She is a capable person!"

Xiao Qing smiled: "It's just a matter of luck, if you meet someone who likes to eat it, you'll sell it!"

Their ancestors have guarded Yaoshan for so many years, and they have seen people selling winter jujube and cornus to build a house, but they did not expect this unknown Xiao family to be able to do it. It has to be said that their fortune has come.

He walked to the yard and stood at the door of the main room: "Brother Xian, come out quickly!"

Ma first heard someone calling, and came out of the house. His dark skin showed that he often fired kilns.

Xiao Qing smiled and said first: "Brother Xian is busy, Madam has something to do with you!"

Ma Xian frowned, Aunt Xiao has something to do with him?
This fat lady has a bad reputation, she beat the Jiao family again yesterday, her reputation of being fierce and ferocious has spread throughout the village, she scolds people like eating meat, what can she do with him?He was terrified.

He managed to force a smile: "Big, aunt, what are you talking about!"

Xiao Qing walked to the edge of the stool in his yard, and said politely: "Brother Xian, why don't we sit down and talk?"

sit down?I have to sit down and talk, what can the two of them have to say?

The horse looked at the old horse first, and wanted to ask what happened?They didn't bully Qiao Erjing!It's time to settle accounts with him!

Seeing his son's ugly appearance, the old horse had no choice but to sit down first: "Listen to your aunt, sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"

Seeing his father sitting down first, Ma had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit beside him.

Seeing that the horse was avoiding her first, Xiao Qing took a small stool and sat closer to her first, and smiled brightly: "Brother Xian, don't be afraid of aunt, aunt is not a big tiger and doesn't eat people, let's sit closer, so it is easier to talk, otherwise aunt Talking is like setting off firecrackers."

Hearing that Mrs. Xiao laughed to ease Ma Xian's mood, Ma Xian laughed.

Ma Xian also smiled in embarrassment: "Auntie, this is very good. I have good ears. I'm not afraid of your loud voice. You say it, you say it..."

Xiao Qing smiled secretly, she didn't embarrass the child anymore, she leaned forward and asked: "Brother Xian, Madam wants to build seven or eight brick houses behind the thatched cottage, Madam heard that you have worked for the Fang family before, and your workmanship is good, Madam asked Thinking about how you helped my family build the house?"
