It wasn't about the money, but rather the way the men in his family looked now; he felt a sense of pride.
Looking at the women and children, they weren't so resistant to the men going out. Old Man Qiao also noticed that Qiao Lian'er had prepared a lot of things, seven of each, prepared according to the number of people.
He couldn't help but think that Lian'er knew from the beginning that they were determined to go, so she didn't try to stop them, but instead went to pack their itinerary.
"Uncle, let me put it this way to you. My older brother and I have been escorting goods for many years and have experienced countless life-and-death situations. We consider ourselves to have a wealth of experience."
"We will do everything in our power to protect the brothers of the Qiao family."
"Moreover, we have been to the Kui Niu Kingdom. Although we did not travel that route, we had dealings with the locals and were not completely unfamiliar with their customs and culture."
After saying all this, Yang Lao Er added, "If this job goes through, it will attract the attention of the escort agency, which will be very beneficial for them in the future."
Old Man Qiao pondered for a while and said, "Old woman, let's discuss this."
He didn't notice the smug smile that appeared on Old Mrs. Qiao's lips.
It wasn't that she didn't want the children to go. Although she was worried that something might happen to them on the way, the children regarded this as their ambition. Could she possibly clip their wings?
She didn't want the old man to feel that she and the whole family disagreed with him, and that he would grumble and feel neglected.
Then pretend to be on his side.
She had already experienced it last time; the old man even slept with his back to her all night.
Actually, the old man cared not only about the children, but also about whether she and he were of the same mind.
At her age, she still has a lot on her mind.
Sigh, thinking about it this way, Old Mrs. Qiao felt a little tired again.
The two elders closed the door.
The men all knew there was hope this time, and they waited with great anticipation.
Even though they wouldn't be allowed to go, they still wanted their family's blessings.
Seeing that Lian'er had prepared things, they knew that Lian'er supported them.
This little girl has such courage and determination.
"Sigh, I really want to break all their legs one by one, so I don't have to break them on the way. Since I'm going to face those dangerous people anyway, I might as well break them now."
Inside the main room, Old Mrs. Qiao sighed repeatedly.
"Besides, men should just stay at home and be the pillars of society. Whether they're working in the fields or on the mountains, they're still pillars of society. Everyone wants to be a hero, but how many people can actually become heroes?"
This sentence ignited Old Man Qiao's ambition.
“Old woman, you’re wrong. Who says men should just stay at home? There’s plenty of room for them to shine outside, to hone their skills, and to earn so much money. Isn’t that better than staying home tending those few acres of land?”
"Besides, we're not setting up stalls for the time being. We only go to the county town once every few days. They're all tall and strong, with long arms and legs. Wouldn't it be a waste to keep them at home?"
"Old man, you're tempted to let them go on the escort mission? No, it's dangerous. I'm scared just thinking about it."
"Oh dear, I'm not easily frightened at my age."
Seeing Old Lady Qiao back down, Old Man Qiao became even more determined. He stood up, put his hands on his hips, and looked up at the mountains and rivers with his chest out.
"What's there to be afraid of? A good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. Let them go out and explore, explore to their heart's content, and make a name for themselves."
