Chapter 105 Escorting Goods: Great Profits, But You Must Sign a Life-or-Death Contract (2/2)



Qiao Lian'er thought that once her space unlocked the highest level of objects and could store things, she would hide some weapons inside. In ancient times, having weapons by your side always made you feel more at ease.

When she arrived at the warehouse, her mother and the others were already making their second trip.

Under the blazing sun, beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads.

However, he still had a lot of energy and walked briskly.

As for the older man who was with them, he was already panting heavily and had fallen far behind them.

Qiao Lian'er had already filled the water bag and called to her mother and the others, asking them to stop and have a sip of water.

After taking a sip of water, the Qiao family seemed to have regained all the strength they had lost.

Qiao Yunni and the others had been a little worried, but seeing that Qiao Lian'er was alright, they were relieved.

"Lian'er, just wander around in crowded places and see if there's anything you want to buy. We're leaving now; we can't delay the work." Qiao Yunni picked up the pillar again.

"Little sister, let me see what snacks you have." Qiao Xiaomeng is only thirteen years old and still at the age where he likes to eat snacks.

With that, he exerted his strength and hoisted the large bundle of rafters onto his shoulder.

With these timbers on their shoulders, the Qiao family members seemed to feel a considerable weight on their shoulders.

Qiao Lian'er suddenly felt a little sad.

For families like theirs, this is the only way to earn a little more money.

The middle-aged man huffed and puffed as he passed by her, his legs starting to tremble, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, his eyes even a little bloodshot.

After walking for a while, he suddenly sighed, unloaded the wood from his body, and sat on the ground, panting.

Qiao Lian'er walked over and said, "Uncle, I put some energy-boosting medicine in the water. Maybe drinking a sip will give you some strength."

The uncle saw that the water was one that her family had drunk from, so he knew there was nothing wrong with it. He thanked her and accepted it.

Sure enough, after drinking it, I felt refreshed and energetic, and it seemed that the soreness in my legs and feet had disappeared.

The man's eyes lit up: "Little girl, thank you so much. You're a good person. Good luck. I'm off."

By the end of the day, each of the four members of the Qiao family had earned an average of one tael of silver.

Everyone gathered around counting the money, their faces beaming with joy.

"That's great! I didn't know the strength of the Qiao family members was so valuable. I'll have my eldest brother and nephews come tomorrow," said Qiao Laosan.

Qiao Lian'er was pondering that such good things didn't happen often. Although strongmen were the first to be chosen by the boss, everyone actually did similar work. Today they might earn four taels, but tomorrow they might only earn a few hundred coins.

If she makes a few more escort missions, plus what she sells in her personal space, her monthly income will be quite substantial.

Qiao Lian'er's shopping trip today was worthwhile; she bought a basket full of all sorts of things.

Snacks, women's cosmetics, hair ties, hair accessories, and even higher-quality needles and thread—it filled a whole basket.

Everyone was starving, so they found a noodle shop, ate a big bowl of steaming hot mutton noodles, and then boarded a horse-drawn carriage to go home.

If you don't make any money, you'll stay here overnight and try to find work; if you do make money, you'll go back.

Moreover, their strength has been discovered, so they can come back tomorrow and hopefully find work again.

Qiao Lian'er didn't rush to tell everyone about the escort mission. It would be best to wait until they got home and discussed it as a family.
