The men's bulging muscles jutted out from under their clothes.
“I told them I would give them an explanation. For the Qiao family, the solution is fists.”
"Well said. I can't think of any other way to deal with these people except by using my fists." Qiao Lao Er shook his fist, wishing he could rush to the county town right now and beat up those ungrateful stall owners.
Qiao Laosan: "If all the men of the Qiao family join forces, let's see if those people still dare to be arrogant. They can't win a business deal, so they try to cheat. If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't learn their lesson."
Qiao Lian'er did the math: her eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and four cousins—seven men in total, that was enough.
This matter requires not only the Qiao family to exert deterrence, but also the market supervision department to play a role in order to truly eliminate those people's thoughts of causing trouble.
Some villagers passed by the door and saw the Qiao family eating by the carriage. They couldn't help but take a closer look at what they were eating, as they didn't recognize the food.
Grandma Qiao quickly ate the corn cob in her hand clean and threw it into the large trash can.
Qiao Dayong also put the last piece of potato into his mouth.
"The food is all on the table, let's eat."
The Qiao family closed the courtyard gate and went into the kitchen.
They hadn't forgotten about the mushroom incident. They went up the mountain to look for mushrooms every day. When the villagers found out, they had no choice but to tell them. Otherwise, the Qiao family really wouldn't be able to stay in this village.
Now that they have other ways to make things easier, they definitely need to keep it hidden, especially since at the beginning, when those stall owners were making things difficult again and things hadn't really settled down yet.
We slaughtered a big rooster at home. This rooster was the one we brought back from the Song family last time. It filled two large bowls and was placed on both sides of the table. There was also bracken stir-fried with cured pork, which was also brought from the Song family. It was smoked until it was fragrant and shiny, and fried until it was about 60-70% dry. It was perfect with rice. There was also sauerkraut that the Song family had pickled, which was also used to make a twice-cooked pork dish.
Of all the fragrances, the free ones are the most fragrant.
Grandma Qiao said, "The work in the river and the diversion channel will be finished in two or three days. The wheat is ripe. I went to the field today and saw that there were some insects again. We need to spray the pesticide again. We will harvest the rice after the work in the village is finished. The rice in the paddy field should be sprayed with pesticide twice more."
After finishing their meal, Qiao Lian'er exchanged a large bottle of pesticide and put it in a porcelain bottle.
"Grandma, if you have time, go spray pesticides on the wheat and rice. This much pesticide and this much water." Qiao Lian'er demonstrated to Grandma Qiao.
She knew that Old Mrs. Qiao had just asked her for medicine.
“Okay, I’ve got it all. You guys go to the county town to sell snacks. There are still eight people left at home. Six of you go to the riverbank, and two of you take care of the fields and the house. You can manage.”
Grandma Qiao then instructed, "It's Lian'er. Being away from home is different from being in the village. You have to be careful and prudent in everything you do. When you encounter problems, you can't be weak or tough. You handled it very well today. You retreated to advance and waited for the right opportunity to teach those people a lesson. But if you really can't afford to offend them, it's okay if we don't make that money. It's best to stay safe and sound."
“Grandma, I know. I’m not just myself. The entire Qiao family is on my shoulders. I will be responsible for everyone,” Qiao Lian’er said.
Grandma Qiao hugged her granddaughter and stroked her head.
"You've worked hard, Lian'er."
Early the next morning, a horse-drawn carriage carrying the seven men of the Qiao family and their stall vendors headed towards the county town.
The men were somewhat surprised to see how well Qiao Lian'er drove the carriage.
However, considering it's Lian'er, it's not surprising at all; Lian'er can do everything.
The stall owners were all from the county town or its suburbs. They had arrived long ago. When the Qiao family's carriage arrived, they all looked over, their eyes like those of prey.
The stall owners all tacitly brought one or two family members with them.
