Chapter 125 The best parents returned to the village to show off, and the whole family became mute
Her voice was not loud and only the three children heard it. The three of them all changed their expressions slightly when they heard it.
"Mom wants to..."
Although everyone knew that her mother had killed many people, and those bandits had done it in front of them, the Xiao family was still her relatives in name.
Well, I can only say that I am related to this body by blood, but I am a stranger to this mother.
When you think about it this way, you will understand.
"What are you thinking?" Xiao Ying laughed: "I said I couldn't speak literally."
The three of them blinked and finally understood. Did their mother want them to become mute?
They were all silenced, and since this family couldn't write, they couldn't do anything even if they wanted to.
It is still too risky to silence him. After all, such a conflict has just happened and it is easy to arouse suspicion.
Thinking of this, the three of them felt relieved.
"I hope everyone won't be affected by what just happened. Let's continue eating."
Xiao Ying invited the villagers to sit back down and replaced the dishes for the tables whose meat had been stolen.
So everyone sat down again, but they were still discussing what had just happened.
Most people stood on the side of Xiao Ying and the Chen family, cursing the Xiao family for being shameless.
Some people also think that Xiao Ying did something wrong. No matter what, she should still invite her wife's family to the banquet.
As a result, he was scolded by the others. Since he was so generous, why not give their food to the Xiao family?
Especially those tables whose meat was snatched away, they felt sick just thinking about the way Xiao Tieshu and his son ate.
Chen Zhang and Liu Lan were recalling their heroic performance just now. They both felt that they could perform better next time and summed up their experience there.
Let’s talk about Xiao Qing’s family.
While screaming in pain, he didn't forget to curse.
After scolding Xiao Ying, he scolded Chen Xinghai and the other two. After scolding Chen Xinghai, the other two scolded the Chen Zhang family, and even Zhou Lihua was not spared. It seemed that this could relieve some of the pain.
All five of them had bruises on their faces and walked with a limp. They were too tired to lift their feet after walking less than two miles.
He walked and stopped along the way, and it took him more than two hours to return to Taohua Village, where he was then surrounded by the villagers.
"Hey, what happened to you guys? Didn't you say you were going to your daughter's house for a feast? Did you get beaten up?"
Someone immediately asked in confusion, with even a gloating look in his eyes. Xiao Qing's family had a bad reputation in the village, and many people were waiting to laugh at them.
Someone else said, "No way, these are your parents. Even if you don't give them a feast, you can't hit them."
An auntie noticed the basket He Qiuju was carrying and asked, "What's in that basket? Why does it smell so good?"
He Qiuju was both angry and furious. She wanted to talk about the grievances she had suffered and let everyone condemn Xiao Ying, the unfilial daughter, but she didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of these people.
Don't think she doesn't know what these people are thinking. They just hope that everything will go wrong for their whole family.
"What are you talking about, you conscienceless people? Can't you see that we were robbed by some low-lifes?"
"Humph, Xiao Ying is my own daughter, how dare she attack us?"
As he spoke, he lifted the cloth on the basket, and several large plates of meat and vegetables were revealed.
"Did you see that? This is a gift from my daughter to us. Just enjoy the sight!"
She was so ostentatious that even she began to believe it.
Xiao Tieshu and Sun Mei frowned but said nothing. Xiao Qing had a stern face but did not stop them.
They had already lost face in Chenjia Village, so they couldn't lose face in their own village.
"Wow, there's so much meat here. It seems your daughter is really good to you."
The villagers stretched their necks to watch, and when they saw so much meat in the basket, they all showed envy. It seemed that Xiao Ying had really become rich in the Chen family.
"Of course not. You can be envious."
He Qiuju was immediately satisfied and wanted to tell the whole village how much meat she brought back.
Little did they know that this was also part of Xiao Ying's plan, deliberately using the meat to shut their mouths.
In this way, even if the whole family becomes mute in the future, no one will suspect that it was her who did it.
The reason why they gave so much cooked food but only sprinkled the powder on the raw meat was to delay the time when this family became mute.
As expected, He Qiuju's family was afraid that the cooked food would go bad, so they ate chicken, fish and pig's trotters for the first few days, and the raw meat was salted and stored first.
Three days later, when all the cooked food was eaten, the raw meat was stewed and eaten.
As soon as I ate it, something went wrong.
When they woke up on the fourth morning, the throats of the five members of the family were red and swollen. They were in so much pain that they couldn't speak, but they didn't suspect it was because of the meat.
The family went to the town to see a doctor, but the doctor couldn't find anything wrong with them. He just prescribed some heat-clearing and fire-reducing medicine for them and sent them away.
The condition worsened the more he drank, and after a few days he was completely unable to speak, and the whole family became mute.
This is a story for later.
After Xiao Ying put up the main beams of his new house, everything was completed the next day, several days ahead of schedule as stated in the contract.
Xiao Ying was very satisfied and immediately signed a new contract with Chen Zhong. This time, they were to build a spicy sesame oil workshop, all made of blue bricks and large tiled houses.
However, the drying yard does not need to be repaved, so the construction period this time is relatively short and is expected to be completed in a maximum of one month.
The new workshop occupies a larger area, and a wall will be built to enclose the entire drying yard. The plan is to allow one or two hundred people to work at the same time.
It is foreseeable that the production of spicy sesame oil will be expanded again in the future, so she has to prepare the hardware facilities in advance.
Chen Zhong was naturally very happy to have new work. Xiao Ying was very generous and provided good daily meals. He and the craftsmen were reluctant to leave.
On June 20th, craftsmen began to install doors and windows.
The windows are all carved and inlaid with colored glaze, which is both delicate and unique.
Although these colored glazes are not as transparent as glass, they are much better than window paper. When sunlight refracted in, they create a hazy feeling.
The roofs are also covered with glazed tiles, and almost every room has one or two, so that even the back seats have plenty of light.
The villagers were all very envious. Colored glass is not cheap, and only Madam Xiao can afford it.
Liu Dashan and his son from the town also delivered the finished furniture, and Chen Hui also came to watch the fun.
The furniture was loaded into several large trucks, and Chen Xinghai was responsible for the arrangement and settlement.
Xiao Ying took Chen Jie, Chen Tong and others to deliver the goods to Ruyi Restaurant for the last time. After the delivery was completed today, the 30,000-jin order was completed, two days ahead of the contract.
"What a rare guest! I didn't expect that Madam Xiao would come in person today."
Shopkeeper Yun came out to greet them personally with a smile on his face.
Xiao Ying said calmly, "Sorry to have made you laugh, Shopkeeper Yun. Today is the last batch of goods, so I came along to take a look."
"Mrs. Xiao, you are so thoughtful. You came at the perfect time today. Please come in."
Shopkeeper Yun was very polite and invited her upstairs with a smile.
Xiao Ying had an idea in his mind. It seemed that he had come to the right place today and should be able to get the next order.
