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

Chapter 83, Is there anyone coming at night?

"Sister-in-law Du, look, here is 41 catties. If you remove the bamboo basket, it's almost [-] catties!"

Zhou Shi's beautiful words brought the shocked Niangsan back to her senses. She pointed to the weight on it and showed it to Du Shi.

Du Shi didn't know how many catties it was. She had already weighed it before she came, but her jaw was cold and she didn't know how to speak.

All kinds of old Qiao's family shocked her again and again. See what kind of life they live, what kind of life do they live?
She fell in with an incompetent person, and was beaten half to death. She didn't even have a place to reason. The children in the family were counting on her to live, and it became more and more difficult in the future.

Old Qiao's family was much poorer than hers before, and they were the poorest and most dilapidated family in the village, but now it's changed!
Du asked in a slightly disappointed voice: "Alright, then can you show me how much money you have?"

Mrs. Zhou said: "Sister-in-law, the price in our house is the same as that in the county seat, two Wen a catty, and you have forty catties here, which is almost eighty Wen! Now you can go to my mother to get the money!"

"There are eighty words? Are there really eighty words?" Du Shi asked in surprise.

Mrs. Zhou nodded: "Yes, yes, forty catties of dried cornel, two Wen a catty, a total of eighty Wen for you!"

She was right, there were so many of her natal family yesterday.

Du Shi laughed happily, and she came to Xiao Qing in two steps, and saw that Xiao Shi was counting the copper coins with the money bag, and there were silver and copper coins in his hand, the money bag was bulging, and there was a lot of money at first glance.

When she walked in front of Xiao Qing, she suddenly became a little nervous, as if she had never seen so much money.

"Auntie, eighty characters..." she said.

Xiao Qing handed her the counted money: "You count it, is there any less?"

Du Shi took the money and turned around to count it carefully, one by one, for fear that Xiao Qing didn't give enough, but she counted it three times, and it was not bad.

She turned around and said with a smile: "Ma'am, it's not bad at all. Ma'am, you rest, I'll go first, and I'll bring you the dried dogwood fruit at home when they are drying."

Xiao Qing hummed, her expression was still calm.

Mrs. Du took the money, but she forgot to take the bamboo basket with her. Mrs. Zhou reminded her, and she went back to get it.

Da Xing and Er Xing followed Du Shi, chasing Du Shi's footsteps.

After Mrs. Du left Lao Qiao's house, she felt for the money in her pocket, feeling overwhelmed with joy. Tomorrow, she could go to the county town to get medicine for Jiang Feng, and she could also buy some food for the family.

Thinking that there were still a lot of dried dogwoods at home, I told Daxing and Erxing on the way: "Remember, don't talk about it in the village, or Grandma Xiaocheng will not want our family's dogwoods when she has collected enough. Cornel can’t be sold!”

Daxing and Erxing agreed.

After the people left, Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "I knew my mother would be soft-hearted. Didn't I say to give them a penny a catty, or a penny and a catty? Mom should give them two pennies a catty."

Xiao Qing looked at the back of Mrs. Du, this old man has a poisonous mouth, but her family has saved two classics after all, it is a matter of life, money can't buy it, she doesn't look at Mrs. Du's face, she depends more or less on that child of Sanxing kindness.

In the evening, when Old Qiao's family was laughing and eating, Xiao Qing thought about what would happen tomorrow morning.

"Second Classic, I ground more than 40 catties of dogwood noodles today, and you can send them to Laibin Restaurant tomorrow morning!" Xiao Qing said.

Qiao Erjing responded, thinking of what happened during the day: "Mother, from now on, whoever you ask me to give to, I will give it to whomever, I don't ask too much! As long as mother asks me to give it to anyone, I will listen to mother! "

Xiao Qing nodded, yes.

It's just that the family is eating a hot meal, but at this time several people have been gathered in the village and are rushing to Lao Qiao's house.

After dinner, Mrs. Qin was packing up the dishes, while Mrs. Zhou put on the clothes that she had made during the day, and put them on for a few children by candlelight to see how big they were.

Xiao Qing was strolling outside to digest food, and she lost weight these few days. She exercised more and controlled her diet reasonably, so she lost weight quickly, but this was because of her large base. It was about 180 catties before, but now it should only be about [-] catties.

She still needs to persevere, as long as she persists, she walks about [-] steps a day, and within a year, her weight will definitely return to about [-] catties.

Xiao Qing turned back from the back of the house and saw glowing candles walking towards the entrance of the village, she stopped and looked around, it seemed that there was more than one person.

In the past few days she has been traveling, she has never seen anyone coming out of the village at night. According to Zhou and Qin, monsters often appear here at night, with human faces and beast bodies. did not come back.

So at night, every household here closes their doors and turns off the lights to sleep.

Xiao Qing carefully watched the direction of the flames, and when they reached the entrance of the village, they seemed to be heading towards their house.

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Qing walked over.

"Is the one standing there sister-in-law?" the visitor asked in an old voice.

As soon as Xiao Qing heard this voice, he knew who it was, Jiao Lizheng!

It's late at night, why don't you rest at home, why go to her house?
"Yeah, is it Jiao Lizheng? What are you guys doing at my house when you're not home at night?" Xiao Qing asked loudly.

Jiao Lizheng didn't respond, and walked up to Xiao Qing with a few people.

Now Xiao Qing could clearly see who was coming. Among the four or five people, except for Jiao Lizheng, they were all young people. It was obvious that the people who came were not friendly and were looking for trouble.

Xiao Qing sized up a few people, these people had a good relationship with Jiao Yan, and now they are coming fiercely, they are coming for revenge!

"Jiao Lizheng, what's the matter, are you looking for me at night?" Xiao Qing asked directly.

The two of them have nothing to do with each other, let alone risking their escape at night.

Jiao Li was smiling, with a hint of sinister in his smile, he said: "There is something wrong, sister-in-law, it's not convenient to come into your house at night, so let's stand here and talk!"

It's better not to enter the house, the children are sleeping, it's not okay to be woken up by this group of people.

Xiao Qing turned his hands away, squinted at him, and waited for him to speak.

Jiao Lizheng's original name was Jiaotong, and he was nearly half a century old. I don't know if it was because he was getting older or timid. Over the years, he has become more and more interested in doing things and avoiding the important.

The villagers complained more and more about Jiao Lizheng, being inactive and partial, disappointing again and again, Jiao Lizheng was not as old as Qiao Yumin, and he still had to call Xiao Qing sister-in-law when they met.

So Xiao Qing didn't have to be polite to him.

"Then you just stand here and talk, I'm listening!" Xiao Qing said coldly.

Jiao Tong asked the young man next to him to bring the lantern closer, and sighed with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but I saw Old Qiao's house is planning to build a house when I saw it outside during the day?"

Xiao Qing glanced at him and immediately understood why he came, she raised her eyebrows: "Yes, Li Zheng, my family of more than a dozen people live in these two thatched huts every day, it's not like you haven't heard what the villagers say, I just want to change to a few bigger houses so that the children can escape the cold!"
