"Ah... Help!" Jiang Liu was terrified, her face turning pale. She held her breath, a chill running down her spine. "Get away, get away quickly!"
Qiu Dafu immediately stood up, caught Jiang Liu's limp body, and protected her.
At the same time, Lightning, with an embroidered shoe in its mouth, dashed out of the house.
Jiang Liu trembled, clearly terrified. "My shoes..."
Because Lightning often roams freely, Jiang Liu has been avoiding it these past few days.
The sight of such a large black dog made her feel intimidated.
Unexpectedly, today it is impossible to guard against.
A figure flashed outside the door. Qiu Yan clenched her fists and shouted sharply, "Gu Xiaoran!"
However, Gu Xiaoran had already left the courtyard to chase after his lightning.
"Stop!" Qiu Yan shouted, chasing after her.
Seeing Qiu Yan chasing after her, Gu Xiaoran obediently stopped, but let Lightning go. "Mother...I..."
Qiu Yan was furious and grabbed Gu Xiaoran's ear with one hand.
"Gu Xiaoran, you've become increasingly mischievous lately."
Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!
"It hurts..." Gu Xiaoran was being held by Qiu Yan with one hand, looking at her timidly, "Mother, let go, let go."
Qiu Yan increased the pressure on her hand, causing Gu Xiaoran's ears to ache. She softened her tone and called out in a coquettish voice, "Mother... I was wrong. The lightning didn't mean to."
"How many times have I told you, don't call me 'Mom'!"
Qiu Yan carried Gu Xiaoran back to the courtyard, then turned to look at Ling Qi inside. "Tie up Lightning, and don't let it get untied!"
At this moment, Ling Qi was feeding the horses hay while watching the good show.
Upon hearing Qiu Yan's instructions, he said "Okay" and went to chase after the black dog.
"No!" Gu Xiaoran protested, trying to break free from Qiu Yan's arms.
However, the protests were ineffective.
Ling Qi captured Lightning right in front of him, tied it to a pillar by the courtyard gate, and made it a watchdog.
It's just a pity that the embroidered shoe has many holes in it.
Gu Xiaoran pouted, "Mom, you're so magnanimous, you can't hold a grudge against Lightning."
Qiu Yan: "..."
This kid really knows how to talk. "Gu Xiaoran, you listen to me, from now on, squat one hundred times."
"Ah?" Gu Xiaoran was about to cry. "Father, Father, where are you? Mother is bullying me..."
At this moment, Ling Ba carried a freshly slaughtered goat into the courtyard.
"Xiao Ran, calling me 'Daddy' won't help. Your daddy is busy selling meat right now."
Gu Xiaoran cried for real this time. Her father wasn't there, and there was no one to support her.
Helpless, he could only cover his head and squat down...
Qiu Yan was still thinking about this when she thought, "Selling meat?"
Ling Ba: "Yeah, I sell meat at the village entrance."
"Selling meat at the village entrance?" Qiu Yan felt like laughing for some reason after hearing this.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba are no different.
Qiu Yan imagined the scene in her mind, then said, "Ling Ba, keep an eye on Xiao Ran, don't let him slack off." Then she walked towards the village entrance.
Just as Ling Ba had said, in order to sell the meat as soon as possible, Gu Qian followed his previous advice and, together with Qiu Xu, set up a meat stall between the two villages.
He originally wanted to invite Qiu Yan along, but considering that Qiu Yan was busy making quilts recently, he only brought Qiu Xu.
There were no stalls on either side of the village entrance.
Only Gu Qian and Qiu Xu stood out by having their own stall.
Qiu Xu: "Senior brother, there aren't many people in this village. If we set up a stall here, will we be able to sell the meat?"
He was studying in his room when his senior brother came looking for him, using their master's name to force him to come out and help their master with his business.
Since it was about helping his master with his business, Qiu Xu had no reason to refuse.
But even selling meat with his senior brother, he always felt that it was somewhat unreliable.
