Chapter 283 Waiting for the melon
"If you ask me, I should have sent it to the master long ago! It shows that the unruly people are unruly people, and they don't know the rules and regulations at all!"
Lord Qiao couldn't help but stroke his beard and nodded slowly. He also felt that what the lady said was absolutely right. The unruly people were indeed hateful.
Mrs. Qiao was dissatisfied again, "The young master of the Lezheng family is too arrogant. The master went to see them off in person, but he didn't even know how to give them a few melons! He really doesn't know what's good for him!"
Being ignored by Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong greatly hurt Mr. Qiao's self-esteem. After hearing what Mrs. Qiao said, Mr. Qiao felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, Master Le Zheng would never think of such trivial matters."
Mrs. Qiao also came back to her senses and said with a smile, "That's true!"
When Mrs. Qiao told Qiao Wei about the watermelon, Qiao Wei was also very happy.
This means there will be plenty of watermelons to eat this summer.
"I just don't know if it's sweet or not. After all, not every watermelon farmer can grow it well, otherwise it wouldn't be so rare. Mom, if it's not sweet enough, we'll have to go to the provincial capital to buy some!"
"Okay, of course!" Mrs. Qiao said with a doting smile.
Originally this was a very simple matter. After all, the watermelons were planted in the fields and could not be hidden from anyone. So if you just asked around a little, you would definitely find out.
Qiao Wei and Mrs. Qiao were even prepared to eat watermelon the next day.
On a hot and sunny day like this, eating a big, cool and sweet watermelon can really cool you down and quench your thirst.
Just thinking about it makes me hungry.
Unexpectedly, two days passed and there was still no sign of the watermelon rind.
Qiao Wei couldn't help but complain: "The people below are too lazy! They are just asking about watermelon, why are they taking so long?"
Mrs. Qiao frowned and sent someone to ask Master Lu.
Master Lu was also very anxious and disappointed.
How would he know? This is like a curse! He can't even find out!
He sent several teams of detectives to various villages to inquire. They should be able to get the news in less than a day and eat watermelon that night.
However, the watermelons that Le Zhengxiao took away seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and their source could not be traced at all!
Master Lu was furious. He just didn't believe it. Could it be possible to grow watermelons in the house? He asked someone to inquire more carefully.
Before we could get any results, someone came to ask about it from Mrs. Qiao's side.
Master Lu had no choice but to tell the truth.
Although Mrs. Qiao was dissatisfied with his incompetence and uselessness, she had no choice but to wait.
After asking around, it turned out that no one had ever grown this watermelon, and many people had never even heard of what a watermelon is.
Later, I heard people talking about whether the watermelon was not grown by anyone but found in the wild. Watermelons do grow in the wild occasionally.
Master Lu thought about it and felt that there was no other reason, so he had to report the truth.
Although County Magistrate Qiao was disappointed, he felt that the words made sense, so he had to give up.
What a pity! The watermelon that was right in front of us is gone!
Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Wei were even more furious. Mrs. Qiao immediately sent someone to the provincial capital to buy watermelons.
"Don't worry, Wei'er. Let's buy more this year! Even if it's only one or two taels of silver each, we'll buy more!"
Qiao Wei then gave up.
The search for watermelons in the county government office finally stopped, and Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I have repeatedly told my family not to talk nonsense, I am still a little worried.
Even if we are discovered, we can deal with it, but it is naturally better not to be discovered.
