The Qiao family's business is doing well. The stall owners have already found out that they are from Datian Village. Datian Village is under the jurisdiction of Ning County, yet they come here to set up stalls, stealing their business and making so much money.
They were very dissatisfied.
The burly man thought that his childhood friend occupied a hill in the direction of Datian Village.
Isn't that perfect?
He packed the remaining seven or eight pounds of roasted chestnuts into a basket, then collected the other snacks and hurriedly left.
Qiao Lian'er was already sitting on the carriage, watching the burly man's departing figure, a little puzzled.
Every day when they leave, the burly men are still setting up their stalls. The people setting up stalls here are either from the city or from the suburbs outside the city. Unlike them, they don't have to rush home before dark.
Therefore, they can sell for an extra half an hour each time.
Even if the snacks weren't sold out earlier, they would still be consumed quite a bit during this time. Moreover, there's no curfew in Dazeguo, so they can sell until night. So, their trouble-making is purely out of jealousy of their good business.
The burly man just left like that, as if he was busy doing something.
As he left, he glanced at the Qiao family members with a cold look in his eyes.
She had a bad feeling.
"When we're on the road, we need to be careful and observe our surroundings," Qiao Lian'er instructed everyone.
They set up stalls in the county town, which is legal and compliant. There are also many people in the county town, so nothing will happen there.
"Lian'er, what's wrong? Is there any danger?" Qiao Lao Er asked, glancing around warily.
"I'm not entirely sure either, but it's better to be safe than sorry," Qiao Lian'er said.
She settled the wages for Ah Da and the others as usual, and today she paid them a little more, fifty coins each.
The children were surprised by the quantity; the gifts felt heavy in their hands, and their hearts were filled with joy.
Working with Sister Lian'er really means you'll get to eat meat.
Qiao Lian'er gave them more so that they could buy meat to eat, since they were at a stage where they were growing and it was not appropriate for them to have porridge for dinner.
Qiao Lian'er pulled on the reins and drove the carriage away. Qiao Dameng and Qiao Xiaomeng were also learning to drive the carriage. They both sat on the front carriage seat, ready to catch up when the time was right.
Not far away, Song Ruier watched the carriage leave. Of course, he wanted to hitch a ride, but he also knew that the Qiao family would not let him get on.
Fortunately, those brats didn't steal his money.
She asked several horse-drawn carriages, but none of them went to Datian Village. As it got dark, Song Ruier started to panic.
Fortunately, a horse-drawn carriage was going to Ning County, which would pass through Datian Village, and Song Ruier breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah Da took Ah Er and Ah San to buy meat, while Ah Si and Ah Wu stayed in the yard to start a fire and cook porridge.
"Boss, should we stop that kid?" Ah San asked as he saw Song Ruier get into the carriage.
Ah Da thought for a moment and said, "No need. They are siblings and live in the same place. This kid is coming home. Besides, there are so many men in the Qiao family. Dealing with him is as easy as picking up a chick. We don't need to worry."
"We just need to guard the stall and prevent those cats and dogs from causing trouble there. Two people will take turns guarding it every night. If anything seems wrong, just shout loudly. Anyway, it's not far from our yard."
They arrived at a butcher's stall where there were some scraps and tail meat left. The meat was originally priced at fifteen yuan per jin, but the owner sold it to them for ten wen per jin.
Ah Da's eyes lit up: "From now on, let's keep an eye on the meat stall and come back when it's almost closing time."
Their bodies need to eat meat, any kind of meat will do, even tail meat or scraps, it's much better than before.
