Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately expressed their opinions.
"Thanks to your Qiao family, our crops were saved. In the past, when the Song family caused trouble, we spoke up for you. If the Song family continues to cause trouble now, we will directly help you take action."
"Yes, the whole village will join forces and see if the Song family dares to be arrogant. We'll beat them so badly they won't be able to get out of bed for a month or two."
"You can rest assured. The flood control project is successful. Yunni will have nothing to do with the Song family from now on. You don't need to worry about any problems with the divorce agreement. The whole village supports the Qiao family."
"Thank you, thank you everyone." The two elderly people were so moved that their eyes were slightly moist.
Their only daughter can stay at home as long as she wants.
The villagers still refused to take the items back and insisted on putting them in the Qiao family's courtyard and house. The Qiao family members tried their best to stop them and refused to accept them, so the two sides were deadlocked.
“We really don’t need any of these right now. We only eat meat once in a long while, so let’s take them all home.”
"No, no, we won't be at peace if you don't accept anything. You know, Lian'er not only saved our grain this year, but we also don't have to worry about losing our grain in the future. This is a great achievement and a great contribution."
"Regardless of whether you need it or not, this is a token of our appreciation and a way to repay a debt of gratitude. If we don't repay such a great kindness, it will diminish our blessings." Some people even put it a little more harshly.
Grandma Qiao thought for a moment and said, "How about this? We can keep the pickled vegetables, but we don't want the dried chicken, duck, or meat. Every family has several children who need to grow. How about you just give us a few eggs? That's our biggest concession."
Seeing that the Qiao family was so determined, the villagers had no choice but to go back and exchange their money for eggs.
Grandma Qiao only said she would give a few, but they brought out all the eggs in their house, some even giving more than thirty.
After the villagers came in waves, the two large bamboo baskets in the Qiao family courtyard were filled with eggs.
Grandma Qiao was completely baffled: "There are at least a thousand eggs, how can we possibly eat them all?"
“Eggs aren’t good if they’re left out for too long. We’ll eat thirty a day and finish them in a month,” said Madam Feng.
"Thinking back to the past, our biggest wish for a meal was to have egg drop soup. We had to exchange the eggs laid by the old hen for salt and oil. We could hardly eat any eggs all year round," Mrs. Lü said with emotion.
Now we can eat to our hearts' content.
With all the villagers gone, Qiao Lian'er finally came out of her room for some fresh air.
Looking at all these eggs, she wondered if the tomatoes in her space should come in handy.
Tomato and egg drop soup, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, poached eggs in tomato sauce, steamed eggs with minced meat and tomatoes—
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
But she couldn't take the tomatoes out right now; she had to use a trick to deceive them.
“Grandma, the villagers are all going up the mountain to pick mushrooms now, let’s go too.”
Just in the past two days, some villagers went up the mountain and found a few scattered pieces.
There will be a small outbreak in the next few days.
The villagers are all eager and ready.
"Brother Meng, Sister Zhizhi, let's go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms. We haven't had any in ages," Qiao Lian'er suggested.
I'll set up a stall in the county town again tomorrow.
"I was just about to say that too. The weather is clear today, and many villagers have set off. We can't fall behind." As soon as Xiao Meng heard this, he went to find a basket.
Qiao Zhizhi also picked up a basket and handed another basket to Qiao Lian'er.
"I've been staying at home for the past two weeks, and I'm so bored."
“Let’s split up and go to different mountains. The three of you stay on the nearby mountain, and we’ll go to the mountain further to the west.” Da Yong and Da Cheng were also making preparations.
