"Da Cheng, make good use of the two of them."
"Yes, why haven't they come back?" Wan asked, her voice trembling with fear.
Seeing her family members so nervous and scared, Qiao Lian'er knew that it must have been that brat Song Rui'er who was behind it.
She briefly explained: "We encountered bandits on the road, but we wiped them all out. Da Yong and Brother Da Cheng escorted the bandit leader to the county government office."
The women breathed a huge sigh of relief.
They did encounter bandits, but they won.
Now, escorting this person to the county government might even earn us a small reward.
This unexpected turn of events brought tears to the women's eyes.
"Father, Mother, we who escort goods and hunt, are we afraid of encountering bandits?" Old Qiao was speechless at how worried his family was.
After the last escort mission and this one, I'm afraid that even ordinary bandits will have to take a detour when they see the Qiao family.
"Yes, but someone shouted from outside the courtyard that you had encountered bandits. I wanted to ask them a few more questions, but they had already disappeared."
"This is so chaotic and unpredictable, it's hard not to be scared," Grandma Qiao sighed.
"It must be that wicked Song Ruier, gossiping about this without explaining the whole story, deliberately causing trouble," Boss Qiao said coldly.
The beating the sickle gave him was nothing compared to the light punishment.
"What? Song Ruier went to the county town too?" Madam Feng asked.
Qiao Lao Er: "Yes, come with us. Want to see what kind of business we do?"
"That brat, don't let me catch him," Old Mrs. Qiao spat.
Old Man Qiao: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. The food is warming up at home. You must be starving. Come back and eat."
As soon as he said that, everyone's stomachs started growling.
I realized that because of this delay, I was really hungry.
Everyone got into the carriage.
When Grandma Qiao decided to go out to look for someone, she left Mrs. Lü and Qiao Zhizhi at home.
Mrs. Lü heated up the food, partly to keep an eye on the house, and partly in case they returned soon.
Song Ruier was a little disappointed; he thought the Qiao family would be coming as a whole.
However, with both of them busy in the kitchen, he still had a chance.
He secretly emerged from behind the large rock, walked along the wall to the gate of the courtyard, and prepared to slip in sideways.
Jumping over the courtyard wall would be the safest way, but he dared not jump because there were animal traps below.
Seeing that the two people in the kitchen had their backs to the outside, Song Ruier knew that her opportunity had come and was about to make a move.
Finally, the sound of running footsteps came, very hurried. Before he could turn around, he was pressed down and forced to lie face down against the courtyard wall.
"Who is it? What are you doing? Let me go." Song Ruier whispered, struggling.
He tried desperately to turn his head to see who was holding him down, but his head was also being held down.
His facial features were pressed against the wall and distorted by the pressure.
"Haha, got caught trying to do something bad," Le Liang laughed.
The other person was A Cang, who kicked Song Ruier twice.
"You're full of bad intentions, even stealing from your own grandparents' house. When Uncle Qiao and the others come back, they'll beat the crap out of you."
Originally, Sister Lian'er instructed them to cultivate a good relationship with Song Ruier.
But the more they looked at Song Ruier, the more they disliked him. If they paid more attention and didn't pretend to be nice to him, they would know what bad things he was up to.
"I was just passing by, and you caught me stealing?"
Song Ruier wasn't afraid because he was caught at the gate and hadn't even gone into the courtyard.
As they were talking, Qiao Lian'er returned in the carriage.
Seeing that Song Ruier was being held down, she guessed that Song Ruier was taking advantage of the Qiao family's absence to sneak in and steal things.
This was also one of his purposes in spreading the news and making the Qiao family worry.
"Song Ruier, you really are incorrigible."
