Grandma Qiao muttered to herself for a while before respectfully placing the incense sticks into the incense burner.
The reason she was so determined to build a large courtyard was because when Qiao Yunni came back, everyone moved around and cleared out a room for her and her daughter.
She then realized that she had never considered the possibility of her married daughter having a way out.
She felt extremely guilty about this, feeling that she was not a good mother.
Therefore, when building a house, it should be big enough.
Human hearts are unpredictable and unfathomable. Even if you find a family that seems good to you, what if they reveal a different true nature later on?
Even if life is uneventful, when you go back to your parents' home for a reunion, having a spacious room to stay in will always make you feel different.
When Grandma Qiao came out, the three sisters were sitting in the yard again, as if nothing had happened, dividing up the things.
Look at their sweet smiles, Grandma Qiao hopes that these smiles will stay on their faces forever.
Qiao Lian'er picked out hairpins, hair ornaments, and face creams for all the women in her family.
The hair ornaments were for adults, young women, and little girls, each with its own style. After Xi'er and Zhizhi had chosen theirs, she sent some to her three aunts. She even bought a hairpin and a dark-colored flower for Old Lady Qiao.
As for her brothers and uncles, she bought a sandalwood pendant to hang on her waist, with the words "peace" engraved on it, to pray for blessings.
Everyone was happy to receive the gifts and looked forward to tomorrow with great anticipation.
The lights were already off inside the room, but Qiao Yunni tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Qiao Lian'er was harvesting in her spatial dimension, and thinking about the 30,000 gold coins deducted from her account, she still felt a little pained.
They used all the pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides to the maximum extent possible, and reaped another harvest.
Qiao Lian'er's hands were sore from clicking, and gold coins poured into her account. She would try her best to earn back 20,000 gold coins tonight.
She seemed to hear Qiao Yunni asking something outside her consciousness, so she withdrew from inside.
"Mom, what did you say?"
"Lian'er, are you going tomorrow?"
Qiao Lian'er could tell that her mother was somewhat frightened.
"Mother, I'm such a small girl, even if I went to a family, they wouldn't want me."
She knew what she was doing. Even if she had some clever ideas, the two chiefs would have far more ideas for using on the mountain roads. They hadn't walked all those roads for nothing.
Moreover, if she goes there and encounters something, her family's first thought will be to protect her, so she can't fight wholeheartedly and instead puts them in danger.
She wasn't afraid of death, nor was she afraid of those bandits and robbers, but it was best for her not to go.
"That's good. I was worried you would go with me. Lian'er, you're my only child. You have to promise me that you will always take care of yourself and stay safe, no matter what."
“Mother, I will,” Qiao Lian’er promised her.
“I’m not being selfish. If you were a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy and you didn’t go, I would think you were cowardly. But you’re still so young, and those mountain roads are bound to be risky.”
"Yes, Mother, I understand."
Qiao Yunni then slept peacefully.
To have more time for training, the men of the Qiao family all got up very early.
It was the second wife's turn, and Madam Wan got up early to make breakfast for everyone.
