The road wasn't very smooth, and the truck was moving very slowly. They caught up with it when it was halfway there.

Qiao Xiaoshan took a closer look and saw that Qiao Xiaoni was even more skilled at riding her bike than yesterday. He instantly felt that his younger sister was better than him, learning everything much faster.

Qiao Xiaoni raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her face. It was so hot. Just a little longer and she would be home. It had been a long time since she had ridden a bicycle like this. She felt very comfortable after exercising.

Su Chenhao glanced to the side and saw a little girl with rosy cheeks, looking adorable like a ripe apple. In just two days, they had become friends; fate truly was a wonderful thing.

The car caused a commotion when it drove into the village. It had been many years since a car had driven into the village. People came out one after another after hearing the noise and saw what had happened.

They watched as the car drove all the way to the Qiao family's house, and then a lot of things were unloaded from the trunk. Some curious people ran to the door to see what was going on.

Even though Qiao Haisheng and Li Meihua were well-prepared, they didn't expect the girl to buy so many things. They were stunned until everything was unloaded from the car.

Su Chenhao paid the driver's fare and told him the route back, thus completing the transaction.

The car drove away quickly, and everyone's attention was focused on the things laid out on the ground—a dazzling array of all sorts of items. The village hadn't been this lively in a long time; people who had heard the news came one after another to see what was going on.

Looking at the basket full of fat, lean meat, bones, and pig's head, even though he loved his daughter dearly, Qiao Haisheng couldn't help but speak up.

"Why did you spend so much money to buy so much meat?"

Li Meihua clutched her chest, "It's so hot, this meat won't keep! How much money is being wasted?"

Qiao Xiaoshan quickly said, "Dad, Mom, this meat was bought very cheaply, so please don't criticize my sister."

Qiao Haisheng favored his daughter but never showed mercy to his son. He kicked his son in the backside and said, "Why didn't you stop your sister when she was buying things? She's just making a mess of things."

Qiao Xiaoni didn't expect Qiao Haisheng to make a move and rush into their midst.

"Dad, I spent money to buy all this stuff to sell for money. This meat is definitely not a waste of money."

“Exactly! We buy these things to sell for money,” Qiao Xiaoshan shouted from behind his sister.

Qiao Haisheng calmed down at this moment. Perhaps his daughter really bought this meat to sell for money. Thinking of this, he said, "Since we've already bought it, let's keep it. Let's quickly move the things inside. If the sun stays on it for a while longer, the meat will spoil."

Even if Li Meihua was heartbroken about the money, there was no way to salvage the situation now, so she quickly moved all the meat back into the house.

Standing at the front, Aunt Liu, who always liked to take advantage of others, was not about to let go of all the meat she saw. She stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Haisheng! Why did you buy so much meat when it's not a holiday? It's hot and it won't keep well. Give me some so I can take it home and treat my kids."

She spoke with such self-righteousness, her face neither flushed nor out of breath, her expression one of utter entitlement. Qiao Xiaoni had been at home for the past few days and hadn't had any contact with the villagers yet. She sized up the woman in front of her; she was wearing a plaid shirt and shapewear, and her face looked at least 50 years old, with makeup thicker than a city wall. Her eyes darted around, glancing at things on the ground.

"Who are you? How dare you talk like that? Why should I give you my meat?"
