"Yes, we just got home. We've been exhausted all day, so we can finally rest." Qiao Haisheng didn't look at Liu Hemiao. His eyes were fixed on the yard, trying to see if Li Meihua was there. His mouth was dry, and he wanted to drink some water.

Liu Hemiao: "Your business is really big! You've even bought bicycles."

Qiao Haisheng nodded happily, then realized he'd borrowed the bicycle from her family for so long—was she coming to ask for it back? Luckily, his daughter had suggested buying a new bicycle; otherwise, they'd be in trouble going to town tomorrow.

"You're here just in time. I borrowed your bike for so long, it's time to return it. Take it back with you when you go home!"

Tell Fuli to thank him for his help; without his bicycle, the shop wouldn't have been able to open so quickly.

Liu Hemiao's expression instantly turned awkward. If she took the bicycle back, would she still have a reason to come over in the future?

She even wants to invest!

Li Meihua then came out of the house and asked them directly,

"Why didn't you come inside when you got back?"

This appearance broke the calm, and Qiao Xiaoni and Su Chenhao were the first to react, taking their things into the house.

Tao Chunfang and Qiao Dashan were responsible for pushing the car into the yard and parking it properly.

Liu Hemiao shifted her gaze to the basin in Qiao Xiaoni's hand. It was covered with a lid, and a meaty aroma wafted out. There must be meat inside. She swallowed hard; she hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

Li Meihua walked over. "He Miao, you haven't gone home yet? Didn't you just tell me you were going home? I wanted to take you home, but you said no. It's getting dark, don't you need to go home and cook?"

Liu Hemiao waved her hand, "I'm not in a hurry to go home and cook. What was in the basin that Xiaoni brought back to the room just now?"

It smells so good! Is it leftover meat from the store?

She made it clear that she wanted meat.

Li Meihua frowned. This Liu Hemiao was shameless, coming to her door asking for meat. Giving it to her was a favor, not giving it to her was her right. But for her to beg for meat so eagerly was truly embarrassing.

Qiao Haisheng, thinking about how long the bicycle had been, said to Li Meihua, "Go inside and fill a bowl with meat, so your sister-in-law can take it home and eat it!"

Li Meihua wasn't a stingy person, but she felt a bit upset, so she turned around and went back inside to pack the meat.

When Liu Hemiao heard that meat was really coming, her face lit up with a big smile.

"Haisheng, your family is really doing well now. You have meat to eat every day. Your family is the richest in our village now."

"Sister-in-law, you're joking. We're just doing some small business in the city. Once everyone goes to the city to do business, the money I earn won't amount to much," Qiao Haisheng said politely.

Liu Hemiao's eyes darted around. "Your shop must be doing well, right?"

Qiao Haisheng: "It's alright, I can earn about two coins a day. Don't you see how busy our whole family is? We don't earn much, just enough to make ends meet. We can use the leftovers to improve our lives. We're doing a little better than before."

Liu Hemiao didn't believe what he said. They had already bought a new bicycle. Was the money they earned small change?

"Your older brother and I depend on those few acres of land to make a living, and this year's autumn harvest is not going to be good."

You're doing so well in town, could you give us a hand? Let's all make money together!

I can go to town and help you wash the dishes. I can do any kind of work. Don't let my slender build fool you; I'm very good at housework.
