Chapter 127 Our Village’s Fubao, Try Touching Her
Most of the villagers are reasonable. Once they think things through, they feel relieved and start to take action.
Only the Song family took this opportunity to find fault with Qiao Jianer and wanted her to be the daughter of the Song family.
By now, they have seen that Qiao Lian'er has a head that is different from others, and she can bring endless wealth to the family.
Ever since she came to the Qiao family, the Qiao family has been making money. I wonder how much money they made from this successful escort mission. I heard that even if the Qiao family members went to the county town to work, they could still make a few taels a day, and Qiao Jianer's advice was definitely indispensable.
Qiao Jianer is full of treasures.
Boss Song regretted it so much. Why didn't he guard against it and let Qiao Jianer change his surname?
I shouldn't have let Qiao Jianer out of that door in the first place.
Zhao Lizheng looked at Boss Song coldly. If he hadn't restrained himself, he would have slapped him.
"Qiao Jian'er's surname is Qiao, and your surname is Song. She is not your daughter."
"Jian'er is a treasure of our village. Just try to touch her."
Boss Song was unwilling to give in and wanted to say something, but then he saw the Qiao family members walking towards him with their sleeves rolled up.
He is in such a half-dead state now, how could he dare to fight with the Qiao family?
He left in shame.
At home, Mrs. Wan and Qiao Zhizhi were cooking in the kitchen. Old man Qiao chopped firewood for a while, then sat under the eaves, puffing on his pipe.
"That was a close call," he said.
"Old man, what are you talking about again? Mumbling." Old Mrs. Qiao fed the chickens and ducks dinner, took out three eggs from the old hen's coop, and walked over to say.
"This matter is too risky. Not only the villagers, but even I thought Jian'er's initial solution was perfect. I didn't expect there would be a sequel. If it weren't for Zhao Lizheng's calming down and firmly standing on Jian'er's side, who knows how it would have ended."
Old Mrs. Qiao was also frightened, but she soon figured it out.
"Old man, Jian'er couldn't make this promise at the time in order to get Yunni out of this situation as quickly as possible. You know how difficult it is for a woman to get a divorce and return to her parents' home after marriage. If Jian'er hadn't offered this tempting condition, I'm afraid that Li Zheng Zhao wouldn't have been able to fully support the Qiao family's proposal."
"Fortunately, Jian'er didn't say anything final, so he left a way out, leaving everyone with nothing to say."
"You said it's fortunate that we have Zhao Lizheng. But think about it from another perspective. It's precisely because of someone as upright, fair, and reasonable as Zhao Lizheng that Jian'er was able to come up with this method. Everything influences each other. This reason and that reason have led to the current situation. I would say this is not a blessing, it's a destined result."
"So, there's no need to worry, and there's no need to be afraid."
Old Man Qiao felt relieved, then shook his head: "But I still feel it's a bit dangerous——"
"Wealth and honor are sought in danger, even for such a big thing."
"Think about the past few days we've been doing, looking for mushrooms to exchange for silver, escorting people, every single thing we do is full of fear and trepidation. So let's just stay in this shabby thatched cottage for the rest of our lives. Our daughter doesn't need to come back. We should do our best and leave the rest to fate. We've done what we should do, worked hard, behaved ourselves, and not harmed others. God will eventually bless us."
At this moment, Mrs. Qiao felt as if she had suddenly realized something.
Yes, if you want to become big in this world, it is impossible to do so without taking any risks. If that were the case, there would be no difficulties that are difficult to overcome.
Although Jian'er was very young, he had already figured out this truth and dared to think and act on it, so the family got better quickly. It's really shameful that he is still worried about this and that at his age.
"I was wrong, old woman. This is my fault. I will change."
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
Qiao Jianer came out of the room and said, "Grandma, which ones should we keep at home?"
She heard what the two elders said just now. Yes, she must do this. She also has the determination and confidence. Only if she is bold and careful and dares to take risks can she achieve great things.
Old Mrs. Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Leave the two of us old people to take care of the house, and you stay with Jian'er, and let them all go down to the river."
Because the paddy fields are often affected by floods, they have to go to the fields to drain the water. Both she and the old man have colds in their legs and cannot stand staying in the river for a long time.
Jianer is smart and can handle any problems if he stays at home.
In this way, they will also be responsible for cooking, and when the work in the river is finished, the second house will take over the remaining days.
Qiao Lianer went to Mr. Wang and reported the names of the three of them. When the time came, except for the three of them, everyone else would have to be named.
As the sun slid down in the west, the men returned.
"There wasn't much work today, and we only earned a few hundred cents." Boss Qiao shook his head.
"You don't have to go tomorrow. Let's go to the river to dig up the sediment." Old man Qiao told everyone about the situation.
"Wow, digging a canal, this is a great feat." Dayong rubbed his hands eagerly, "It can also save the paddy fields and the crops. It requires the efforts of our Qiao family."
"Yes, our Qiao family needs to be watched by the villagers and work together. The Qiao family is the most capable." Dacheng also said.
Everyone hadn't expected that the initial solution wasn't perfect, but what was wrong with the sickle? It was just that other ideas would be added later.
Moreover, everyone did not want to put any pressure on Qiao Jianer, and they also understood that she had to take a risky move at the beginning in order to save Qiao Yunni because she had no other choice.
Qiao Jian'er felt warm in her heart. She had been questioned by the villagers before, and the Song family was taking advantage of her misfortune, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, eager to crawl out when you are a little weak. But the Qiao family members were all so kind, and they were afraid that she would think too much.
I really want to hide in my room and wipe away my tears.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, every household went down to the river with basins, buckets, and baskets. Some people carried shovels and hoes and pushed carts to dig diversion channels. It was a huge group.
The river bank was crowded with people.
It is rare to see so many people gathered together to work. I don’t know who started singing, but the singing echoed among the mountains, powerful and energetic, and sometimes there were bursts of laughter.
Those who passed by Datian Village couldn't help but stop.
"What are you villagers doing together? It's so crowded."
"We're digging a river channel. We're building a bridge above, and we're deepening the river channel below to prevent floods and disasters. We're also going to open a diversion channel to divert floodwaters to low-lying areas and drain them into those cracks."
"That sounds like a good idea. Your village is plagued by floods every year. I hope we can prevent floods this year."
Although there is sediment in the river, there are still many stones. Those who are strong are responsible for moving the stones.
Seeing Qiao Yunni trying to move a big rock, Qin Bu quickly quickened his pace and walked over.
"Put it down quickly. You can't move such a big rock."
