Chapter 14 Toothache is not a disease, but it can be fatal
After dinner, when Qiao Haisheng was playing in the yard, he saw a figure walking back and forth outside the door.
He turned around and went back to his room, took the slingshot, quietly came to the gate, and saw that it was that bastard Tian Hanwen.
He decisively picked up a small stone from the ground, aimed it through the crack in the door, and with a whoosh, he heard Tian Hanwen covering his thigh and groaning.
"Fuck, who is it? Let me know who it is and I'll give you a discount on your legs." Tian Hanwen cursed loudly while rubbing his legs with a hissing sound.
"call out……"
This time, Tian Hanwenxue was smart and dodged for a while.
"Ah..." Unexpectedly, this dodged caused his upper front teeth to be knocked out.
Blood was flowing from his mouth, the sky was getting dark, and he was howling like a ghost, so it looked scary no matter how you looked at him.
"Haisheng?" Qiao Wanqing came out of the room after hearing the noise and saw the little guy staring at the actions outside.
That heart-wrenching cry sounded strangely familiar. What was going on?
"Shh, sister, look!" Qiao Haisheng pointed at the person outside the door. She looked through the crack in the door. No wonder he looked familiar!
Tsk tsk, it hurts just looking at it.
As the saying goes, toothache is not a disease, but it can be fatal.
"You did it?"
"Sister, I was originally planning to hit his hand, but he suddenly moved his hand away, so I knocked out his teeth." The voice became smaller and smaller, but Qiao Wanqing already understood what was going on.
"Close the door and go to sleep. The barking of dogs outside has nothing to do with us." Qiao Haisheng was originally worried that his sister would worry about Tian Hanwen, but when he heard her compare him to a dog, he smiled.
"good."
The room where Qiao Wanqing slept was prepared for her by the Qiao family a long time ago. The quilt and pillow were all brand new.
I heard from my aunt that my grandma started saving little by little a long time ago, and she would make one as she saved.
The room has a desk, a stool, and a cabinet. Some of them are old, but they are just old and have not been used by anyone else.
It was done by the eldest brother Qiao Hailin and the second brother Qiao Haimin together with Old Man Qiao, but now both of them are doing odd jobs in the town. They may only go home once a month on the day when they get paid to give money, and they don’t come back on weekdays.
The eldest brother Qiao Hailin is 22 years old and not married yet, but he has a fiancée.
The second brother Qiao Haimin is 20 years old, not married and has no partner.
He also has a younger sister, Qiao Haijiao, who is fifteen years old and is in the third grade of junior high school in town.
The Qiao family's situation gradually improved. At the beginning, they were very poor and had insufficient food and clothing.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. Now they have escaped poverty. Apart from anything else, they have enough to eat and some money in their hands. The whole family is very content.
"Knock knock, Wanwan, it's grandma!" Old Mrs. Qiao knocked on the door.
"Grandma, the door is not locked." Qiao Wanqing got up from the kang, and at this time, Grandma Qiao walked in holding a quilt.
"Grandma was worried that you wouldn't be able to sleep in such an unfamiliar place, so she came to keep you company." When Old Mrs. Qiao said this, her expression was still a little unnatural.
"That's great, grandma. I was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to sleep!" Qiao Wanqing understood what she was thinking.
She simply wanted to get closer to her granddaughter. "Grandma, come here. My grandpa will have to stay alone in the empty room."
"Then let him stay alone for a while. My Wanwan just came home and is about to get married. Alas!" After lying down, the mother and daughter had a heart-to-heart talk. This long sigh contained too many emotions from Old Mrs. Qiao.
A complex feeling of reluctance, heartache, helplessness, and full of anticipation.
"That's right." Old Mrs. Qiao said these two words, stood up and left the room.
Not long after, he came back with a crimson wooden brocade box.
Old Mrs. Qiao directly placed the wooden brocade box in Qiao Wanqing's hands. It was carved with plum blossoms, and every detail of the flower was handled extremely well.
"Grandma, what is this?"
"This is my dowry." I don't know what she was thinking about, her eyes were slightly red and her voice was slightly choked.
"Grandma!" Qiao Wanqing hugged her gently.
"Silly girl, grandma is fine. She just remembered my mother. She was separated from her family when fleeing famine, and later married your grandfather. Time flies, and her life passed like this, and there has been no news from them since then." Back then, it was so hard.
She was so miserable that she didn't even dare to recall it.
"These things were left to me by my mother. I'm giving them to you now."
"Grandma, I can't accept it." Although the wooden box was not opened, the thought behind it was worth a fortune.
"Take it. Jiaojiao will also have a share. Grandma only has two granddaughters like you, so naturally I want to give you a dowry to support you." After saying that, she opened the wooden box. Inside was a small and exquisite gold lock and a pure jade pendant without any impurities, but there was a very thin crack in the middle.
"Grandma!"
"Be obedient. No matter who you marry, she can be your backup plan." The mother and daughter lay down, talking and laughing.
Old Mrs. Qiao told her a lot of stories about her childhood. She was born into a scholarly family and was engaged at a young age. She was separated from everyone when she fled from famine. Later, when she was targeted by wild dogs, she met Comrade Old Qiao. After a few interactions, the two of them got together.
Even when she fell asleep, Old Mrs. Qiao still held her hand, which was the love of an elder for a younger one.
Qiao Wanqing, who couldn't sleep, looked at the wooden box carefully in the moonlight.
She had mixed feelings about this box of 'dowry'.
"Hiss!" Just as her hand was touching the lines on it, her finger was accidentally pricked by the thorns on it.
'Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for binding to the AiTaoATao system!'
…
"Five hundred kilograms of medicinal herbs, regardless of type, will unlock the quest and reward. Do you accept?" Qiao Wanqing sat up subconsciously upon hearing the robotic voice of the female customer service representative. Seeing that her grandmother was sound asleep, she made sure she was the only one who could hear.
Is this what is often written about in novels, 'space'?
But why is my own space so terrible?!
Five hundred kilograms of medicinal materials?
No restrictions on categories!
Is there a possibility that she doesn't accept it!
"Host, if 500 kilograms isn't enough, how about 200 kilograms?" Perhaps sensing Qiao Wanqing's reluctance, the system immediately lowered the weight to 300 kilograms.
So what just happened was a test?
If I agree, I will be a real 'big loser'!
"One hundred pounds is fine!"
"Fifty kilograms, no less!" Qiao Wanqing felt a little ashamed as the system repeatedly lowered its requirements.
"Ten pounds!" Qiao Wanqing counted in her mind, not sure if the system could hear her.
'make a deal! '
…
Qiao Wanqing regretted it so much at this moment. She absolutely said too much!
The system then went over the space usage rules of Aitao and Atao in her mind. As a girl who traveled from the modern era, she immediately understood that this was just online shopping!
