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

Chapter 713: Manager Pang Comes Out

Cao Yang heard the voice and hurried over with the New Year gifts in her hand: "Mother-in-law, it's so cold and the road is so long. Didn't I tell you not to come to pick me up? Why are you here?"

"It was the village chief and his wife who insisted on sending us here. Erwa and Sanwa are also staying at the village chief's house." Grandma Cao Yang smiled and lowered her voice, "Don't worry, and don't say anything. I'll take care of it."

The reason why Village Chief Cao and his wife were so kind to her family was that, first, Village Chief Cao had no idea how to govern the village and allowed the evil people of his clan to occupy the land of Cao Yang's family. For this, Village Chief Cao was fined by the Lifang Bureau.

Guan Shuli also said that if he couldn't do a good job as the village chief, he should not be the village chief. This scared Village Chief Cao so much that he has been acting like a good person recently.

Secondly, Village Chief Cao’s family wanted to be nice to Cao Yangshi and ask her to say good things so that the women in the family could also come to work in the Qin family workshop.

"Okay, leave these human affairs to mother-in-law." Cao Yang handed the New Year gift to her own mother-in-law: "Grandma, take it, I will take care of the eldest child."

Grandma Cao Yang looked at the nearly ten-pound New Year gift and her eyes were red. "We are lucky to have met a good person. If it weren't for the Qin family, how would we have raised three children?"

Now they can sell colored herbs in summer, dig medicinal herbs in autumn, and their daughter-in-law has a stable job. If they can hold on for another ten years and raise their three grandchildren to adulthood, their family will be well-off.

I thought of my husband and son who died early... Oh, don't think about it anymore, it was all their fate.

"Let's go and meet up with the village chief and his wife." Grandma Cao Yang said as she led the way... She was extremely thin, and because she was a widow and had lost her son, she had a fierce face. No one dared to block her way and they took the initiative to make way for her.

"Village chief, village chief's brother and sister-in-law, sorry for keeping you waiting. Take this bag of candy. We are from the same village and clan, so don't be polite to my family." Mother-in-law Cao Yang gave a bag of candy to the village chief's wife.

The wife of the village chief Cao received a whole bag of candy, and her jealousy was reduced. But she couldn't help but envy and said: "The Qin family is really generous. There are nearly 200 female workers, and each of them was given three pounds of meat, three pounds of flour and three bags of candy. How much silver must they have given out?"

"Look at this fatty meat. If you chop up two cabbages and add three pounds of flour, you can make at least ten pounds of dumplings. If you save some, you can eat it until the Lantern Festival. I'm so envious."

Village chief Cao's wife kept chattering away, her words full of envy and hints.

Cao Yangshi didn't understand the hint and just smiled foolishly.

Grandma Cao Yang would chime in from time to time, but luckily it didn't last long before the clanging of gongs started again, and people from Zhoujia Village were shouting, "Those who picked up the female workers should hurry home, don't stay here, or else something bad will happen!"

"Sit still, we have to go." Village Chief Cao sighed. He still wanted to squeeze into the street to see if he could meet the Qin family.

If you meet someone, you can try to get close to him/her.

Unexpectedly, the Zhou family rang the gong and drove them away.

Village chief Cao cursed the Zhou family for being lackeys in his heart, and also cursed himself for being a lackey for being too late. After being envious, jealous and resentful for a while, he drove Cao Yang and the others back to the village.

"Are my fried half-meatballs ready? Three servings!"

"Why did you buy three? Two would be enough."

"One and a half servings can be eaten for one meal, and three servings can be eaten for two meals. You've worked hard, so eat more meat to replenish your body."

"My family has one vegetarian meatball and one half meatball. When will it be ready?!"

The Lu family who sells fried meatballs is very busy. Everyone comes to buy fried meatballs as an add-on dish. After all, fried meatballs are the only thing that is oily and not that expensive.

There are also people who are willing to spend money and just buy meat and vegetables.

Zhang Niuwang, the Chai family and others went to the Lu's Inn and bought some meat dishes. Zhang Niugao even went directly to buy a live chicken to nourish his mother Pan so that she could get pregnant soon.

Zhang Niuwang saw it and bought one too: "Your cousin's wife and your niece need to have some supplements too."

His wife is fine, but his daughter Qin Niang's health must be taken good care of.

After escaping the famine, her body is weak. If she doesn’t take care of herself, she may have trouble getting pregnant when she gets married, and her daughter will suffer for the rest of her life.

Seeing that his daughter had not gotten pregnant, Old Man Chai was extremely anxious. He gritted his teeth and bought a live chicken, stuffing it into his son-in-law's pocket: "Niu Gao, take it home. Eat half a chicken a day. Two chickens can last for four days. The chicken blood and internal organs can also be eaten for two days, so it can replenish you for six days."

Zhang Niugao smiled when he saw this and comforted him: "Don't worry, father-in-law. Our village chief's workshop checks the pulse of the female workers every month. I hope the mother is fine. When fate arrives, the baby will come."

"I know, but Doctor Xue said that we still need to replenish our body. Take it." Old Man Chai stuffed the live chicken into his son-in-law's hands.

In fact, he was worried... Qin Eryong's wife was pregnant, but his mother Pan Niang had been married to her son-in-law since the year they settled down, and there has been no news since then.

If Doctor Xue and his wife hadn't said that Pan Niang was in good health and could get pregnant, Old Man Chai would have been so scared that he couldn't sleep.

After all, a woman who cannot give birth will be divorced and sent back to her parents' home!

When old man Hu saw this, he said to old man Qian, "Look, this is what it means to be truly good to a girl. Your kindness to your daughter Hua Ya is fake. You are not even willing to buy a live chicken for Hua Ya to eat!"

Old Man Qian was angry: "I bought a whole pig lung, which is also meat, and my daughter Hua Ya loves to eat it! Besides, I have a live chicken at home, I will kill it for my daughter Hua Ya to eat during the New Year!"

Old Man Qian was afraid that Old Man Hu would look down on him, so he bought six eggs and said, "Give one to my daughter Hua every day to nourish her body. My Qian family never mistreats girls!"

Old Man Hu: "Tsk tsk tsk, just brag. We escaped from famine together, so who doesn't know what kind of person you are, Old Man Qian?"

If the village chief hadn't spoken, would Old Man Qian have been nice to Qian Huaya?

Dangdang Dangdang!
"People from the ghost village, have you picked up all the people from the ghost village? If you have, hurry to gather at Xue’s classroom!" Huang Guijia shouted while beating the gong.

After hearing this, the families with the surnames Chai, Zhang, Hu, Qian, Huang and Sun from Gui Village quickened their pace to buy things and rushed to gather at Xue's classroom.

When everyone was gathered, they returned to the village together.

Xinda Street was bustling until almost the evening, and then things slowly returned to calm as it got dark.

The Lu family vendors were almost exhausted, but they all had smiles on their faces: "We really made a lot of money today. Next time the Qin family workshop pays us, we have to stock up more goods."

After taking a break, the vendors chatted while cleaning up the garbage from their stalls. After cleaning up, they took the stall equipment to Lujia Inn and put it away, and then returned to Lujia Village together.

After paying wages and New Year gifts to the female workers, the Qin family felt completely relieved. Unfortunately, they only relaxed for two days, as they became busy again on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

"Village head, village head, Xu's Sanjun, shopkeeper Pang, and Doctor You are back with the medicinal herbs!" Huang Guijia came to Xindajie early in the morning to report: "They arrived at the village at midnight last night, and went to bed in the second half of the night. They haven't woken up yet."

"Finally you're back. Are you all safe? Is anyone sick or injured?" Grandpa Qin asked, "How many people are back? Do you have a list?"

Huang Guijia took out a few letters after hearing this and said, "They were from Shopkeeper Pang, the three Xu brothers, Doctor You, and that Lan Hu."

There is a medicine field in the spy's lair, which contains many high-quality medicinal materials. Manager Pang and Doctor You spent several months collecting and preparing a large number of medicinal materials, and now they have finally been brought out of the mountain.
