Most of the villagers are reasonable people. Once they talked it out and understood, they felt relieved and started to take action.
Only the Song family seized this opportunity to find fault with Qiao Lian'er, wanting her to become their daughter.
By now, they have seen that Qiao Lian'er has a mind that is different from others, and she is able to bring a continuous stream of wealth to the family.
Since she arrived at the Qiao family, the Qiao family has been making a fortune. This successful escort mission must have earned them a lot of money. I heard that even if members of the Qiao family go to work in the county town, they can earn several taels a day. Qiao Lian'er must have given them a lot of advice.
Qiao Lian'er is a treasure from head to toe.
Song Laoda was filled with regret. Why hadn't he been able to prevent Qiao Lian'er from changing her surname?
We shouldn't have let Qiao Lian'er go through that door in the first place.
Zhao Lizheng stared coldly at Boss Song. If he hadn't been restraining himself, he would have slapped him.
"Qiao Lian'er's surname is Qiao, and your surname is Song. She is not your daughter."
"Lian'er is our village's lucky charm. You dare to touch her and see what happens."
Old Song was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something more, but then he saw the Qiao family members walking over with their sleeves rolled up.
In his current half-dead state, how could he dare to fight against the Qiao family?
They quickly slunk away.
At home, Wan and Qiao Zhizhi were cooking in the kitchen, while Old Man Qiao chopped firewood for a while, then sat under the eaves, puffing on his pipe.
"That was close," he said.
"Old man, what are you muttering to yourself?" Old Mrs. Qiao said as she fed the chickens and ducks their evening meal, then took three eggs from the hen's nest.
“This matter was too risky. Not to mention the villagers, even I thought that Lian’er’s initial solution was perfect. I didn’t expect there to be a follow-up. If it weren’t for Zhao Lizheng’s firm support and support for Lian’er, I don’t know how things would have ended.”
Grandma Qiao was still shaken, but she quickly came to her senses.
“Old man, Lian’er had no choice but to make this promise in order to get Yunni out of trouble as soon as possible. You know how difficult it is for a woman to get a divorce and go back to her parents’ home after she gets married. If Lian’er hadn’t offered this tempting offer, I’m afraid Zhao Lizheng wouldn’t have been able to fully support the Qiao family’s position.”
"Fortunately, Lian'er didn't make any definitive statements, which left everyone with a way out and left them with nothing to say."
"You say it's good that there's Village Chief Zhao, but from another perspective, it's precisely because there's an upright, fair, and reasonable person like Village Chief Zhao that Lian'er came up with this method. Everything is interconnected; this reason and that reason have led to today's situation. If you ask me, this isn't something to be thankful for; it's an inevitable result."
"So there's no need to worry or be afraid."
Old Man Qiao felt much more at ease, but then shook his head: "But I still feel a little dangerous—"
"Fortune and wealth are found in danger, and this applies to such a significant matter as well."
“Think about all we’ve been doing these days, searching for mushrooms to exchange for money, escorting goods—every single one of these things has been done with trepidation and fear. So let’s just stay here in this dilapidated thatched hut and live out our lives. Our daughter doesn’t need to come back. We’ve done our best and left the rest to fate. We’ve done what we should have done, put in the effort, and kept to ourselves without harming others. In the end, God will take care of us.”
In that instant, Grandma Qiao had a sudden realization.
Yes, in this world, if you want to achieve great things, there's no way you can do it without taking any risks. If that were the case, then there wouldn't be any insurmountable difficulties.
At such a young age, Lian'er had already figured out this principle and dared to think and act on it, so the family quickly recovered. It's really shameful that someone his age is still worrying about this and that.
