Chapter 1088: All Bait
"Boss, be careful, step back!" Xu Azheng and Zhu Yiqing hurriedly leaped towards Qin Xiaomi, stretched out their hands and pulled her away.

After the soil near the pit stopped rolling down and the pit stopped collapsing, Xu Azheng said, "Master, I'll go over and take a look."

"No need, the soil structure is stable and will not collapse again. I'll go and take a look myself." Qin Xiaomi said as he walked towards the big pit.

He first checked a section of the wall that was closer to the pit. Seeing that the wall was stable and not shaking, he felt relieved, turned around, jumped into the pit, and slid to the bottom of the pit using the slope of the pit.

"Boss!" Xu Azheng really felt that Boss was more naughty than anyone else. How could he just jump into a pit that was more than five meters big?

The next moment, he hurriedly jumped into the pit to protect Qin Xiaomi so that she would not be buried in the soil.

Zhu Yiqing did as he was told.

Shen Lu Niang: “…”

I didn't want to say anything, I could only grab Xiao Baiying and stand in a safe area with the rope... If she was really buried, it would be easier to rescue her.

Qin Xiaomi squatted down and dug out the rocks at the bottom of the pit. Some of the rocks that were originally as big as her head had now been broken into small pebbles, and the large rocks in the distance had also been broken into several pieces.

And these broken stones carry a smell of gunpowder.

But Xu Azheng and Zhu Yiqing didn't know what this smell was. They just thought it was strange: "Boss, put on your mask quickly, lest this smell is poisonous and hurts your body."

Qin Xiaomi: "No need to wear it. This is the smell produced by the collision and combustion of sulfur and saltpeter. Just smell it briefly, it's okay."

"Oh, I'm glad you're alright." Xu Azheng continued, "Master, do you want to take these gravel? The servants can do it. Master, please go up and wait."

Qin Xiaomi: "No, I just want to see the effect. It's working pretty well now. Let's go up."

After saying that, he called Shen Lu Niang: "Throw down the rope and pull us up."

This is a big pit that is five meters wide and almost five meters deep. She is not a bird, so she really can't fly up.

"Yes." Shen Lu Niang and Xiao Baiying used ropes to pull the three of them up, then asked, "Boss, what's the public explanation for this pit? They say Master Ye Wu and his men didn't understand the soil structure and didn't dig the cellar properly, causing it to collapse. What do you think?"

"That's right, let's do it this way... As for the pit, just fill it up." Qin Xiaomi was satisfied with Shen Lu Niang because she understood the rules and knew how to get things done.

"Yes." Shen Lu Niang agreed, and after sending Qin Xiaomi away, she began to deal with the matter.

She was really good at doing things. She didn't call Ye Xifen that day, but waited a day until the strange smell of gunpowder had dissipated before calling Ye Xifen and saying that their cellar was not dug well and had collapsed.

"The boss said that the soil here seems to be of poor quality and cannot be used for a cellar. You just need to fill it up."

"Yes." Ye Xifen didn't say anything. She followed the instructions and filled the big hole that day.

But she was favored by Zhang Songyu and carefully nurtured, so she was no ordinary person. From this big pit, he had already discovered that the firearms that the lady mentioned were made by Qin Su!
Ye Xifen secretly stabbed herself with the dagger again, using the pain to suppress the surging emotions in her heart... Calm down, stay steady, strive to become a confidant, get the detailed secret recipe for making firearms, and help her wife create her hegemony!
Unfortunately, no matter how much she tried to suppress herself, it was useless. Everything Qin Xiaomi revealed was a bait for her.

……

Qin Xiaomi remembered Uncle Qin's reminder and was afraid that Captain Zhong would find out, so she didn't try to explode the second firearm package. Instead, she rested for two days and waited for the engagement banquet of Qin Ertao and Qiao Songguo.

During the Chinese New Year, Qin Ertao's family, Qiao Songguo's family, and Aunt Xu's family were all busy with the couple's engagement.

The horoscopes were matched, and it was said to be a match made in heaven, bringing prosperity to the family and future generations, which delighted all three families. As for the matchmaker, the Qiao family invited Granny Qin... Granny Qin was a noblewoman with an imperial title, and in terms of status, she was as high as the wife of the magistrate of Kang County, far exceeding that of the official matchmaker.

Grandma Qin was also happy to see the younger generations of several families get married sooner, so she took on the job of matchmaker.

On the 19th day of the first lunar month, several families happily formalized the marriage of Qiao Songguo and Qin Ertao.

The marriage proposal gift prepared by the Qiao family was very decent, and the most valuable one was a profit deed... The Qiao family gave Qin Ertao 10% of the profit from their new dye.

Qin Dashi and his wife were so shocked that they kept refusing: "No, no, this is the Qiao family's property. How can we accept Ertao? As long as the Qiao family has this intention, it's fine."

Aunt Qiao said, "Don't refuse, my dear. My pears also have a share of the dividends at my parents' and my husband's families. I only have Ertao as my daughter-in-law, so I should give her a share."

This?
Qin Dashi and his wife still didn't dare to accept it.

In the end, it was only after Grandma Qin explained it to him and Qin Ertao nodded in agreement that Qin Dashi and his wife accepted the dividend.

However, the couple made up their minds that if Ertao and Songguo could not get along in the future and ended up getting divorced, the dividend would be returned to the Qiao family, and Ertao would never take it away.

Because the Qiao family was sincere and the two were in love with each other, the marriage went smoothly.

As soon as the engagement was finalized, Xiao Fubao changed his tone and called Qin Ertao, "Aunt Qiao!"

This made Qin Ertao blush.

Qiao Songguo felt sorry for his fiancée, so he took Xiao Fubao away and gave him a task: "Go and distribute wedding cakes and tell the villagers that Uncle Qiao is engaged to your Er Taojie."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go and send it right away. We must let everyone in the town know that Uncle Qiao is engaged, and let the villagers send lots of congratulations to Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao!" Little Fubao patted his chest, walked in the front with a proud and confident look, followed by Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao's families who were carrying wedding cakes, and went to the intersection of Xinda Street.

Outside the street corner, villagers had already heard the news and rushed over. Seeing little Fubao in his new clothes, they hurriedly asked him, "Master Xu, is your Uncle Qiao really engaged to Miss Ertao?!"

Little Fubao nodded, then raised his head and said proudly, "Well, today, Uncle Qiao and Sister Er Tao are officially engaged, and I'm here to distribute wedding cakes... Fellow villagers, please line up to receive some wedding cakes and share in the joy. Well, congratulations are in order."

After hearing this, the families behind him couldn't stop laughing... Oh, this kid is talking like an adult more and more.

The villagers who heard that Qin Ertao and Qiao Song were indeed engaged looked miserable, and some even wailed, "Why are they engaged? Why the two of them? It would be so much better if they were engaged to one of our local families, so we could have two powerful clans as relatives!"

Qin Ertao and Qiao Songguo are very popular. Many families want to marry into their families so that they can get connected to the Qin and Jiang families and get a share of dividends that they can't spend!
Even those who doubted Qin Ertao's innocence had discussed it with their families during the New Year, and gritted their teeth to propose marriage to Qin Ertao after the New Year. However, unexpectedly, the two got engaged right at the beginning of the year.

Two mountains of gold were engaged, and now they have lost both mountains of gold. How can one not be heartbroken?

Little Fubao whined, got angry, and even felt like crying... Don't think that he doesn't know the gossip outside just because he is young.

They all disliked Er Taojie and said bad things about her.

Humph, go ahead and tell me, now that Er Taojie has become my Aunt Qiao, she will never marry into the family of those of you who despise her!

Dangdang Dangdang!
"The Qin and Qiao families are very happy about their engagement. We have specially sent wedding cakes to inform the whole village!" Qiao Songguo shouted and started distributing wedding cakes.

No matter how regretful the villagers were, they had to let go of their resentment, go to receive the wedding cakes and say congratulations.
