Women are the easiest to coax.
Shen Liang never imagined that his dream of having one wife and one concubine would soon be ruthlessly shattered.
No one came to the Qiao family to sell matsutake mushrooms today. The Qiao family only found three or four, not even a pound, to make soup. The mixed mushrooms only amounted to a little over a pound.
Since they started looking for mushrooms in the mountains, the Qiao family has gotten used to having income every day. Even though their income decreased later, it was still not bad.
Now that it's all gone, everyone's a bit down.
"Why are you all looking so worried? Do you really want to rely entirely on the mushrooms on the mountain?" Old Mrs. Qiao had gained confidence from Qiao Lian'er, but she remained calm and composed.
"Everyone, perk up! We haven't been up the mountain lately, so the animals near the deep mountains have let their guard down. We might get some loot. Go up the mountain tomorrow."
"It's okay if you don't hunt anything. You can do odd jobs or deliver goods. You won't have no income at all."
In the past, when the Qiao family couldn't hunt in the mountains or work in the fields, they would do these kinds of things.
Go to town or construction sites to carry heavy loads for people, or deliver things short distances from one place to another. Although the wages are low, you won't starve.
We've saved up quite a bit of money at home, but we can't just sit around doing nothing and let our savings go to waste. Our wages can cover some of our daily expenses.
“Yes, Mother is right. We Qiao family members are all strong and have long arms and legs. Strength is money.” The eldest Qiao swung his arm, showing off the muscles bulging under his clothes.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, their slight frustration vanished, and their fighting spirit was ignited.
Qiao Laosan also said, "Tomorrow, my eldest and second eldest brothers will go up the mountain, and Da Meng, Xiao Meng, and I will go deliver goods to people."
Qiao Yunni thought for a moment and then said, "Third Brother, I'll go with you."
Everyone looked at her with some surprise.
Although Qiao Yunni's legs had almost fully recovered, her sudden statement still surprised them.
Qiao Yunni said a little embarrassedly, "I feel there is absolutely no problem. Even if we have to run, we can still run. You guys are not as careful as me. If any goods are missed, I can find them as soon as possible."
Grandma Qiao nodded: "Okay, Yunni can come along. We can make the clothes and shoes tonight. If you stay at home any longer, you'll get moldy. But you can come along, just don't carry the goods."
What Qiao Lian'er was more concerned about was whether Shi Murou would come here tomorrow.
If you're coming, it would be best if the whole family were there.
"Grandma, I have some things to do tomorrow, so let's postpone everyone's plans and stay home."
Qiao Lian'er decided that if Shi Murou didn't come tomorrow, she would urge her to come, since there were still matsutake mushrooms to sell anyway.
Da Yong knew about Qiao Lian'er's plan in advance, and that it would be within the next two days.
The first person to agree said, "Okay, if Sister Lian'er says she has something to do, then it must be something important."
Old Man Qiao and Old Woman Qiao also had a premonition, but only a few days had passed, could the progress be that fast?
If Lian'er makes a move, it will surely hit a vital point.
Seeing Qiao Lian'er's determined expression, Old Man Qiao nodded: "Alright, then we'll listen to Lian'er and not go anywhere tomorrow."
"Lian'er, what exactly happened? Can you tell me a little bit?" Boss Qiao couldn't help but ask.
Qiao Lian'er glanced at Qiao Xi'er, who was also among the group. She hadn't said a word, but was simply making sachets for herself and Zhizhi with her head down.
"It's about Sister Xi'er's lifelong happiness."
