After failing to sell mushrooms in town, the first thing Song Laoda did when he got home was to beat up Song Ruier.
Song Lao Er and Chen Shi also joined the beating.
If Song Ruier hadn't spread rumors, would the Song family have gone up the mountain for nothing, only to be humiliated like this in town?
Song Ruier felt more and more aggrieved. He had acted entirely out of good intentions and for the sake of the Song family. How could things have turned out this way?
As I thought about it, tears started to fall.
Chen pointed at him and scolded, "You still have the nerve to cry? Didn't you say that the Qiao family were all selling these kinds of mushrooms and making a lot of money? You've ruined the entire Song family. You're such a scoundrel."
“Mom, I’m not lying to you. They really are selling these mushrooms. Dad and I even saw them on the road.” Song Ruier sobbed.
Qiao Yunni had never been able to bring herself to hit him before, and had never even said a harsh word to him.
But who told her to be so useless and get kicked out of the Song family's house?
She had failed to protect her son, and thinking of this, Song Ruier felt even more resentful towards Qiao Yunni.
Song Lao Er did indeed see the Qiao family carrying these mushrooms to town to sell.
He snorted: "The Qiao family is deliberately playing us. They hold a grudge because we kicked Qiao Yunni out of their home. They're making a fuss over nothing. They didn't actually come to town to sell mushrooms. They just wandered around the mountain every day to deceive us and lure us into their scheme. Now they've achieved their goal."
Madam Shen: "Yes, there's no such easy way to make money in this world. If it were that simple, we wouldn't have had to save up this hundred taels for so long. The Qiao family has been poor for too long and has gone mad, actually indulging in daydreams."
Song Laoda: "I thought the Qiao family was poor, but at least they had some spirit. Now it seems they are both swindlers and fools, completely useless. A family like this can only wait for its lineage to end."
Tonight, members of the Qiao family are sneezing and their ears are burning.
"Why do I feel like someone is cursing me?" Boss Qiao touched his ear.
“I also feel like someone is cursing me.” Mrs. Feng sneezed.
"Me too, me too. It's not cold today, but I still shivered," Qiao Dayong said.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise, but quickly realized what was going on.
It must be the Song family members who are cursing them.
It's understandable. The Song family thought they had learned a way to make money from them, but they were beaten up instead, so of course they were furious.
They must think that the Qiao family is deliberately playing a trick on them.
But didn't they come to peek on their own?
They couldn't be bothered to argue with the Song family. As long as they didn't come near them, everything was fine; otherwise, they would just throw a punch.
The aroma of freshly squeezed mushrooms wafted from the kitchen; tomorrow it would be another twenty-seven ounces.
However, when packing the cans, Old Mrs. Qiao kept two jin (1 kg) for herself.
"We'll just pick what's readily available on the mountain, not only to sell it, but also to satisfy our family's cravings."
"Keep these two pounds for when we eat them."
Everyone agreed that the Qiao family developed a carefree and open-minded personality through hunting. As long as they had enough to eat and wear, they wouldn't think about exchanging everything for money or living a frugal life.
That would be so boring. We're only alive once, so let's enjoy life while we can.
Old Mrs. Qiao walked briskly, muttering to herself.
"The house should be completed this year, and we can also discuss Xi'er's marriage with the Shen family."
The Shen family lived at the east end of the village and were one of the wealthiest families in the village.
