suspected wife

In Qingchuan City, Yue Zhongyao walked the main streets of the county over and over again.

He was already tall and burly, but at this time he was wearing a hooded head, a black and green robe, a saber on his waist, a rope on his girdle, cuffs on his hands, and a tie on his legs, and a pair of black soap boots...

The face is solemn.People dare not look at it.

Pedestrians on the street gave way one after another.

Many people whispered a few words: What happened?The head catchers have come to patrol the streets in person?

Many familiar shopkeepers and street vendors raised their voices to greet Yue Zhongyao while wondering.

Yue Zhongyao didn't answer, just nodded slightly.Holding the waist knife in his hand, he strode across from the side.

A few catchers were far behind, looking at each other from time to time.

This new butcher is even more dignified than the old one.

I don't know what happened, but I came here for a stroll in the street, and didn't let us get close.

Yue Zhongyao, who was walking in front, listened to the cadenced calls of the vendors on both sides, his face expressionless.

My heart is even more irritable.

I always think back to Jinniang's sentence: The one-year period is coming...

One year, one year period...

The patriarch's intention was that Jinniang would have a son within a year, so Jinniang's status would not change in any way if his wife came in.

It can satisfy his desire for both benevolence and righteousness, and not insult the Yue family's reputation.

And he was thinking that all the problems could be solved within a year.He never thought of marrying Liu Meiniang.But it has been delayed for a year, and it doesn't seem to be effective...

And what is Jinniang's year?

Waiting for his result?Or is it going to ruin his reputation?

one year period...

It's almost here...

And in the Qiao family compound.In the afternoon of spring, with the warm sunshine, it is warm and makes people drowsy...

"It's only the beginning of spring, don't be greedy for the sun, be careful of the wind and cold."

Qiao Mingjin handed a blanket to Zhou Yanqing who was spread out in big characters on the couch made of tree roots, and motioned him to cover her body.

Zhou Yanqing didn't move, she opened her eyes and glanced at Qiao Mingjin.He closed his eyes comfortably again.

He just said: "Young lady, I have done my work."

After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin almost threw a blanket on him.

What if she is the girl in his backyard?

Xiao Wan'er rolled over by Zhou Yanqing's side, grabbed the blanket and said to Qiao Mingjin, "Mother, let me cover Uncle Zhou."

Then he spread the blanket on Zhou Yanqing's body clumsily.

It is also tightly covered.

Zhou Yanqing took the little thing with a big hand, pressed the little thing to his chest, and said, "It's our Wan'er who loves Uncle Zhou. Your mother is just one..."

He secretly glanced at Qiao Mingjin.He whispered in Wan'er's ear again.

Then the two hugged each other and laughed.

Qiao Mingjin glared at Xiao Wan'er who was secretly looking at her, and walked straight into the room...

A moment later, Zhou Yanqing tiptoed in with Wan'er in his arms.

Qiao Mingjin got up quickly, helped him put Wan'er on the bed, let her sleep comfortably, and covered her with the quilt.Fang and Zhou Yanqing walked out of the room and sat in the main room.

Qiao Mingjin saw him stretched comfortably on the high-back chair.Rolled her eyes at him.

This guy doesn't know what he looks like at home and outside, anyway, how comfortable he is in her home.There is no image at all.

Qiao Mingjin poured him a cup of hot tea.I also held the teacup in my hand to absorb the warmth.

Zhou Yanqing took a sip of tea, cast a sidelong glance at Qiao Mingjin, and said, "You enjoy the happiness at home, but you caused me to run away and lose my leg."

There is no resentment in the words.

Qiao Mingjin didn't put down the teacup either, imitating him and giving him a sideways look, and said, "Why don't you always rest at home. Why don't I run errands outside?"

Zhou Yanqing choked up.

Glaring at Qiao Mingjin: "Don't! Then what has become of my master Saturday?"

Seeing Qiao Mingjin's disapproving look, he had no choice but to say, "I'm just complaining for nothing. Look at you..."

Qiao Mingjin looked at him fixedly.Said: "Is it not going well? Jingli didn't report back?"

"That's not true. It was so smooth that I almost broke my leg. Jingli reported that the uncle was very satisfied with the root carvings we sent. Almost all of the root carvings we sent to Jingli were half-sold and half-gifted. It’s all because of the family uncle’s favor. I heard that there are several times more people coming to the door to hand over the stickers than usual.”

Qiao Mingjin leaned back after hearing this.

Staring fixedly at the sinking tea leaves in the cup, he said: "The root carvings sent to Beijing are all extremely exquisite works handed down from generation to generation, with good materials, good knife workmanship and beautiful scenery. It's a pity to only get so much money back." gone."

Zhou Yanqing straightened her body, glanced at Qiao Mingjin and said, "Compared with the cost of wooden stakes, this is a lot. Of course, if we sell it to other people, we can indeed get several times the price. I also know what you choose It's a bit of a loss for me. If you choose the Lin family and the Xie family, you will lose the item of entanglement with the officials."

Qiao Mingjin glanced at him and said, "It's nothing. There are pros and cons to everything. Although we earn little money, fortunately, no one came to disturb us this year. All I want is to earn a few dollars steadily Just pocket money."

Zhou Yanqing clicked his tongue and said: "Then you have a lot of pocket money. From now on, there may not be a few men who can afford pocket money like yours."

Qiao Mingjin snorted, and said, "Little girl, how much pocket money can you pay attention to on Saturday? I don't have much money left in my hands now."

"Again?"

"That's not true. It's just that Zhuangzi's shop was built before, and there are not many left."

Zhou Yanqing leaned forward and said, "But it's because of the lack of money? How about I ask someone to settle it for you in advance?"

"That's not necessary. I don't need to spend more money in the country. The three shops are also receiving monthly rent now. And the mountain bag is also getting income now..."

After a pause, he turned his head and asked Zhou Yanqing, "By the way, do you have any connections, where do you want more eggs?"

"Eggs? A lot?"

"Well. You also know that I bought a mountain bag with hundreds of acres and handed it over to my natal family to take care of it. My natal family raised chickens in three remote places on the mountain. Now there are nearly 1000 chickens. How many can I harvest in a day this month? Hundreds of eggs. I’m afraid there will be more and more in the future. Half of them are sold now, and half are ready to hatch. The quantity is not much, and the weather is still cold, so I don’t worry about it.

The [-]-acre mountain bag that Qiao Mingjin bought is now under the care of the two uncles of the Yun family.

In addition to planting fruit trees and some bamboos on the mountain, they can't be used for other purposes.The land was barren.

Several families later sat together to discuss raising chickens.

Now besides Qiao Mingjin's, there are two other uncle's families and Qiao Mingjin's natal family involved.

If the chickens cannot be sold and the eggs are also unsalable, it may affect several companies.

"You're capable. You made a name for that mountain that no one wanted. Fortunately, the fruit trees you planted are also drought-tolerant, otherwise just watering would be a big problem."

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's not a big deal. I'll ask you when I get back to the city. The big restaurants and mansions in the city are also needed every day. They will probably sell them too." I save face. Taking a step back, selling it to neighboring counties and towns is just a few extra coins."

He smiled again and said: "Just like you did before. Find someone like you. Take eggs from your mountain and sell them, and give them the extra money. Most of them are sold by people for you. You don't have to worry about it." nah?"

Qiao Mingjin was taken aback when she heard this, and this guy turned up the story of her selling eggs for others in the first place.

At the most difficult time, all I could think about was how to do business without cost.Back then, by selling eggs for the villagers, he could earn food for the mother and daughter in a day.

He passed through that very difficult time safely.

However, let the family find someone to sell eggs on behalf of them.They only support, regardless of sales.This is not a good idea.

When other people have work to do, money, and enthusiasm, are they afraid that her eggs will not be sold?

I'm afraid that other things in the house can be sold like this.

Otherwise, those who have to manage production and sales at the same time will be exhausted.

Besides, I saw that her natal family had a lot of people, but now that there are more fields and mountains, I feel that there are not enough people.

And she didn't want her parents and grandma in her natal family to work too hard.

She originally wanted to let her natal family live a comfortable life in Xiangkun.It's also good to repay one or two.

Zhou Yanqing saw her sinking her head into deep thought, and said frightenedly: "It seems that I have given you another good suggestion. Hey. This person, he just can't be too smart. How do you think my brain is so long? ? Tsk tsk..."

Qiao Mingjin's thoughts were interrupted by him, and hearing his words again, she tried her best to resist the urge to roll her eyes.

He squinted at him and said, "This is a bad strategy! If it was the best strategy, someone else would come to my house with a carriage to ask for eggs, and Xingye held money and lined up to buy them. Then it won't be too late for you to claim credit in front of me."

Zhou Yanqing touched her nose embarrassingly, and said, "One thousand eggs a day, can't I sell them for you on Saturday? It's too small."

Qiao Mingjin ignored him.

Zhou Yanqing took a look at Qiao Mingjin, and said, "However, there are very few people who come out to raise chickens in secluded places. There are also people who have done that, but if something happens to this, it will be a piece of cake. .At that time, I might lose all my money, have you ever thought about it?"

Qiao Mingjin didn't take Zhou Yanqing's threats to heart.

Said: "That's someone else."

"Oh? Do you still have the secret to raising chickens intensively?"

"How can there be so many secrets? Besides, my mountain bag is more than 700 mu. What's the problem with raising a thousand chickens? It's not a big deal to add another thousand or two."

"That's true."

Then he joked again: "Then the chickens and eggs that my Zhou Mansion needs in the future can be obtained..."

"What's wrong with just giving money? I'll send it to you in the middle of the night when it's windy or rainy."

"Hiss, you woman! You can see money in your eyes!"

"I don't recognize money, why don't you let our mother and I drink the northwest wind?"

This time, Zhou Yanqing gave Zhou Yanqing a big roll of his eyes.

Then I looked back at Qiao Mingjin, who was sitting and drinking tea on the opposite side, brushing the foam of tea leaves with the lid of the cup so elegantly, dignified and demure... Slender hand raised her pink cherry lips, slightly lifted the bottom of the cup with one hand, and put the cup towards her. Move your lips together...

Zhou Yanqing only felt a little tightness in her throat, and her whole body became hot... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
