"What are these... French fries?"
When Qiao heard this, she found it a little unbelievable. She had always known that Jiang Xueying trusted her very much, but she did not expect that Jiang Xueying would value her so much.
Her life was so difficult in the past, but thanks to Jiang Xueying she was able to make a living and raise her children. Now her life is much better.
"Of course I can, but I don't know how to make French fries. I don't know if I can learn how to make them. I hope I won't hold you back."
She put down the potato in her hand, looked at Qiao's face full of disbelief, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Haha...Don't worry, Sister Qiao. You haven't seen it before, so you naturally don't know what to do. I know how to make French fries. As long as I teach you once, you will be able to do it quickly."
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as it was simple and easy to learn, it would be fine. She had received so much favor from Jiang Xueying and just wanted to do more to help her.
Soon, Jiang Xueying found a conspicuous place in the shop and ordered a shelf. Although it was small, it was eye-catching and just right for selling potato chips and snacks.
Qiao learned how to make French fries and potato chips, and she was able to do it quite well. Because she was careful, thoughtful, and hardworking, her handmade work was just as good as those in the old shops. She could be said to have inherited Jiang Xueying's true skills.
When passers-by at the market saw such a special "salty snack", some were skeptical at first. However, Qiao promoted it carefully and allowed people to try it for free, so customers lined up to buy it.
The popularity of potato chips soon spread throughout the streets and alleys. With the help of Qiao, Jiang Xueying's shop made a lot of money.
They own both the raw materials and the labor, so the profits are huge.
Jiang Xueying took the account book and did some calculations, then took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to Qiao.
"Sister Qiao, thank you for your help during this period. Here is fifty taels of silver. In the future, as long as the business is handled by you, I will give you some dividends according to the profits."
She said it lightly, but Mrs. Qiao was shocked. She felt that the heavy silver in her hand was extremely heavy, like a hot potato.
Fifty taels, she couldn't even think about it!
This was the first time she had seen so much silver in her life. She was so excited that she immediately stuffed it back into Jiang Xueying's hands. She didn't know where to put her nervous hands.
"No, fifty taels, that's too much. Just give me whatever you want, as long as it's enough for my mother and me to live on. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived long ago."
Mrs. Qiao was a simple-minded woman. Ever since she followed Jiang Xueying and had a meal to eat, she was already very satisfied. She never had any thoughts about Jiang Xueying's money and worked diligently.
"This is what you deserve. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to do it alone. I still have to count on you, Sister Qiao, in the future. If you don't accept it, how can I get you to help me do things in the future?"
Finally, Qiao accepted it and was filled with gratitude to Jiang Xueying. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would work harder with Jiang Xueying in the future.
The potato chip issue came to an end, and Jiang Xueying had a lot of money in her hands. She was planning to fence off a piece of land to raise chickens.
In this day and age, there are not many foods with nutritional value. When raising chickens, you can not only sell eggs, but also sell chickens. It’s the best of both worlds!
What’s more important is that her plan to make braised chicken was sabotaged some time ago, but now the storm should be over.
Jiang Xueying acted quickly and hired a carpenter to build a fence early in the morning.
Jiang Xueying was discussing the construction model with the craftsmen when she suddenly heard anxious footsteps outside the door. Someone from the village came hurriedly to find her.
"Wife of the Ye family, hurry up... Qiao is fighting with someone, go and take a look."
When Jiang Xueying heard that Mrs. Qiao had a fight with someone, she was stunned. Mrs. Qiao was kind to others in her daily life, so how could she fight with others?
Someone must have bullied Sister Qiao. It's really too much!
"Where is it? Take me there!"
She left Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin at home and followed the villagers to look for Qiao.
Jiang Xueying hurriedly followed the people who came to the east end of the village. Seeing the chaotic scene, she felt her scalp tingling.
Mrs. Qiao was beaten so badly that her head was bleeding, her hair was a mess, and a few strands were scattered on her face. Her clothes were torn in several pieces, and she looked horrible.
Although Qiao usually dressed simply, she was always clean. Her clothes were washed until they were white without any dirt, and her hair was combed neatly, even in the most difficult times. But now she was no longer like she usually is.
"Qiao, you bitch, you have no sense of shame. I will teach you a lesson today. I want to see how you can argue in front of so many people!"
The other party was a fat woman. Compared with Mrs. Qiao, who was so weak and frail, she naturally had the upper hand in the fight. She looked like a typical shrew.
Although Mrs. Qiao was beaten so badly, the tall and fat woman only had a corner of her clothes torn and her hair was only slightly disheveled, and it looked like she had taken advantage of the situation.
At this moment, she was pointing at Qiao's nose and cursing at him arrogantly, looking like she was not going to give in.
The surrounding villagers were talking about it, but few dared to step forward to dissuade them. Most of them were just watching the fun.
"What right do you have to lie like that? You're bullying me like this for no reason. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
When the woman heard that Qiao had become so bold as to curse her for divine punishment, she immediately became angry and rolled up her sleeves to go forward and fight Qiao again.
However, she never expected that a woman suddenly appeared in front of her and protected Qiao behind her.
"stop!"
"Get out of the way! Who are you? You dare to stop me without even asking who I am? You are such a jerk!"
Jiang Xueying almost laughed out of anger at these words. It was really interesting that there were still such unreasonable women in this day and age. She said that she and the Qiao family were in the same ol' same nest without even knowing them.
She turned around and pulled Qiao up. Qiao seemed to be injured. His brows were furrowed, his face turned pale, and his thin body looked like he was about to fall down at any time.
“Sister-in-law, who is this woman and why did she suddenly hit you?”
She believed that Sister Qiao would never take the initiative to cause trouble, so she had to get to the bottom of this matter first.
Qiao was used to being bullied by her sister-in-law on a daily basis, and just now she was trying hard to resist her sister-in-law and to clear her name.
At this moment, Jiang Xueying was protecting him. She suddenly burst into tears, and all the grievances in her heart were like a flood that could not be controlled.
"Wuwuwu... Madam, actually she is my sister-in-law. It's just that I have been making some money with you during this period of time, and my life has become more comfortable than before, so she got jealous and stole the potatoes. After I found her and caught her, she accused me of having an affair with another man and turned the tables on me..."
