After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 706: Long Face [2]

Qin Jie is still working in the county government office. The Qin family has made great contributions and has a large business. Recently, they have become famous for purchasing medicinal materials. I don't know how many families want to marry into the Qin family.

But it was picked up by the old daughter of the Han family. What else could Chief Han be dissatisfied with?
Haven’t you seen that many young women are so jealous?

"I heard that some time ago, the Marquis of Wenchang sent a valuable gift to the Qin family. The Qin Jie family also received half a carload of valuable gifts. Do you think that when the Qin Jie family sends the betrothal gift, will there be valuable items sent by the Marquis family?"

"If we really give the noble gift to the Marquis's family as a betrothal gift, the old lady of the clan leader's family will be really proud."

"That's really thoughtful. You can give a generous gift to the Marquis' family today when the engagement is held. But look at this engagement gift, it's just average."

"Hey, my wife Jiutu, is this engagement gift just average? When your family engaged the daughter of the Liu family, they only gave five taels of silver as betrothal gift, and even said that five taels was too much, and that there were many families that gave two taels of silver. Why do you despise the twenty-two taels of silver from the Qin family? Twenty-two taels is the price of half a blue brick house!"

Han Jiutu's wife was so embarrassed by the criticism, but she was stubborn: "That's because my family is poor and only has ten taels of silver in savings, so I only gave five taels of betrothal money. That means half of our family property was used to betroth the girl. If the Qin family really values ​​Wan Niang, they should use half of their family property to betroth her!"

When these words were spoken, all the members of the Han clan were stunned into silence.

Han Jiutu panicked and hurriedly pulled her: "What are you talking about? Come home with me."

Then he said to Han Shifu, "Patriarch, there is still work to do at home, so we will go home first. Congratulations to your family for having a good son-in-law."

However, it was no use running away quickly, as Han Shifu had already made up his mind to severely punish Han Jiutu's family after his daughter's engagement banquet.

As the patriarch of a large clan, you must not tolerate such things, otherwise the family will go downhill.

The Han clan members whispered, "What happened to Jiutu's wife? Does she not want to live anymore? On the happy day of the clan leader's family, she dared to go crazy?"

"It's all for her nephew. Because of her studies, she's already 22 and still hasn't found a husband. She's also made her family poor. She has high standards and doesn't look down on ordinary families, so she's set her sights on the old girl from the clan leader's family. She thinks the old girl from the clan leader's family is too old to find a husband. If she goes to propose marriage, the clan leader's family will definitely agree, and then her whole family from her natal family can rely on the clan leader's family and won't have to worry about food and drink."

"But the Qin family got there first, and they gave her such a generous betrothal gift. She must be going crazy."

"So that's how it is..." The Han ladies stopped talking after a while. The clan had strict rules and they didn't dare to talk too much about the clan leader's family affairs.

The excitement lasted until mid-afternoon, when the engagement banquet came to an end. Chief Han, along with his son and close relatives, sent the Qin family to the city gate.

After the marriage was settled, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin felt a lot more relaxed.

While there was still time, Qin Jie took the old couple to visit Mr. Gong’s home and Chen Xiaoqi’s home.

The Gong and Chen families were surprised and happy. They thanked them and said that after Qin Jie and Xu Erjun came to deliver New Year gifts in their police uniforms, no one dared to bully them anymore.

There is a shared well in the alley, so the two families can fetch water from it at any time.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin felt relieved to see that the two families were doing well.

The next day, we drove back to Taifeng Town.

On the day Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin returned, the Han family also informed all relatives and friends of the news that their eldest daughter had been engaged.

The sons of Chief Han sent the letter home and said to Chief Han: "The relatives are all shocked. Many old ladies were upset when they heard the news. Humph, they all think that our little sister is old and it will be difficult for her to get married, so they want to plot against her to marry their poor parents!"

"Now that my plan has failed, I can't even talk about my little sister during the New Year. Those damn old ladies are really upset!"

Han Shifu felt so proud and happy listening to his sons' words. He was happy for several days.

……

As soon as Grandma Qin came back from the county town, she went to see Qin Eryong's wife. After learning that she was fine, she went home with peace of mind. Grandpa Qin got good news.

"The village chief has agreed that our family can help with the treatment." Qin Xiaomi said, "We have prepared everything and will start the treatment tomorrow."

Master Qin was very happy and asked again: "What's the reason? What if the three camps come together?"

The leader of Alan Village and his men said that the third leader was Lao Zhuyou's man.

The chief of the village had been taking the medicine given by Lao Zhuyou, but that medicine could not cure the disease at all.

Qin Xiaomi said, "It's because of the preparation of medicinal materials... The Third Village Chief will definitely come to watch, but he can't watch all day. We have already agreed with Fourth Master Qu that he will invite Third Village Chief to a banquet."

Fourth Master Qu is still a half-slave of the Wen family, and a few days ago, Mr. Wen Tao hosted a banquet for the Third Master and the Wen Master.

I heard that the Third Chief was so intoxicated by the food that he ate it all. If Fourth Master Qu invites him again, he will definitely go.

"It's all right once it's arranged." Grandpa Qin added, "Just tell me what you need me to do."

Qin Xiaomi smiled and took out a list and gave it to Grandpa Qin: "The mountain folk soldiers and mountain medicine apprentices on the list are from Old Zhuyou's side. If they come to look for the chief, Grandpa must be on guard."

"Okay, Grandpa will keep a close eye on the visitors." Grandpa Qin took the list and began to carefully memorize the names on it.

The next day, Uncle He and his wife, Aling Ahemengzi, Village Chief Wen, the Third Village Chief and others came and went to the Xue family shop where the medicinal materials were stored.

"Today we are preparing Aconitum, which is poisonous and quite strong. We must remove the head first and then prepare it to remove the toxins before using it. Otherwise, there is a risk of poisoning."

"I heard that there is a lot of Aconitum in your mountains and you have a lot of experience in dealing with it. Please help us prepare the Aconitum today." Qin Xiaomi smiled like a spring breeze.

The third village chief cursed inwardly, this Qin family girl is really vicious, actually let them take care of this Wutou? Doesn't she regard the lives of the mountain people as her own, or does she treat them as slaves? !

No matter which one it was, the three village chiefs were very angry.

Ah Hei shouted, "You evil woman, you made us do this deadly job. We won't do it!"

Qin Xiaomi sneered, "You won't do it? Didn't you want to come and see how we, the outsiders, prepare medicinal herbs? We risked our technology being stolen to let you come and observe, and you scolded us again. What? Do you think we, the outsiders, are easy to bully?!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, the third village chief felt happy.

However, for the sake of a happy life in the future, he came out to be a peacemaker: "Ah Hei, Mr. Qin, calm down... How about this, the Qin family handles it first and shows us, and after we learn, we can take action, how about that?"

Qin Xiaomi: "It's okay, but if I don't allow it, someone will be dissatisfied, so I can only agree."

"You!" Ah Hei continued to play the role of the angry gorilla and said to Jiang Dalang, "Mr. Jiang, take care of your fiancée!"

Jiang Dalang slapped his hand away and said, "Just watch from the side. Don't interfere with us processing the herbs."

Soon, Old Man Xun brought Xiao Baiying, Xiao Shanglu, Xiao Shashen and others to start processing the Aconitum.

It was a very boring job, and it was so cold that no matter what work was done, it was boring. As soon as I saw Qin Xiaomi explaining that iron pots should not be used to prepare medicinal materials because there were some substances in the iron that would destroy the medicinal properties... the third village chief felt bored and uninteresting.

His thoughts drifted to the group of dancers that Mr. Wen Tao had hosted for him.

Wow, each one of them is glowing white and has a very graceful figure. If he could bring a few dancers back to the mountain, old Zhuyou would be very happy and would definitely assign more mountain people to his third village to make his power even greater.
