Qiao Yunnan saw this attitude clearly. He knew the concerns in Qiao's heart, but he had already missed it once and would never miss it a second time. He didn't want to leave any regrets for either of them!
Qiao Yunnan found an opportunity to stop Qiao Shi who was trying to avoid him again, and held her back to prevent her from leaving.
"Biyun, I have something to tell you!"
"Qiao...Brother Qiao, I have something else to do. If you have anything else, we can talk later..."
"Biyun, please stop avoiding me. Do you want us to miss each other again? Do we have to be separated by life and death again before we can face each other?"
Mrs. Qiao was stunned. She looked up with red eyes at Qiao Yunnan, whose eyes also turned red, and her voice had a hint of tears.
"Brother Qiao, I know what you're thinking, but now I just want to raise Popo well and serve Grandma for a hundred years. Between us... there's no way!"
"Biyun, that's not what I meant. I just want to help you take care of Popo, and I will naturally be filial to my mother. You...you should stop avoiding me, okay?"
Qiao Yunnan's voice of retreating made Qiao's eyes redder. She knew that Qiao Yunnan was doing this for her, but she...
"Thank you, Brother Qiao!"
Qiao Yunnan smiled bitterly, "Okay, you take a good rest, I'm going to work!"
Mrs. Qiao felt bitter in her heart and couldn't help shedding tears as she watched Qiao Yunnan leave. When she turned around, she saw Grandma Qiao staring at her angrily.
Granny Qiao followed over just because she saw Qiao Yunnan coming over. She glared at Qiao and ran out angrily.
Mrs. Qiao came to her senses and thought to herself that something was wrong. She hurried to catch up and wanted to explain to Grandma Qiao, but Grandma Qiao was walking too fast. Mrs. Qiao had just recovered from a serious illness and could not keep up with the old lady.
"ah!"
Mrs. Qiao was halfway through the chase, panting, when she suddenly heard Grandma Qiao's scream from the front. She no longer cared about the pain in her feet and ran over quickly.
I saw a vicious dog chasing Grandma Qiao and it was about to rush up and bite her in the next second.
Mrs. Qiao was shocked when she saw this and immediately rushed forward to protect Grandma Qiao. When the vicious dog saw that it couldn't catch the person it wanted to chase, it turned around and bit Mrs. Qiao's leg.
Qiao felt a sudden pain in his calf and tried to shake off the vicious dog, but the dog seemed to be crazy and moved to Qiao's leg and bit him again. Qiao's leg was bitten with bloody marks one after another, and his calf was covered with blood, which looked very scary.
Granny Qiao was already frightened by the sudden appearance of the vicious dog. When she saw Mrs. Qiao being bitten by the dog in order to save her, she immediately picked up the iron rod next to her and beat the vicious dog away. Then she ran over to look at the wound on Mrs. Qiao's leg.
"Oh my, this dog actually bit so deep, we need to deal with it quickly!"
"Mom, it's okay, as long as you are okay. The dog didn't hurt you, did it?"
Qiao endured the severe pain in her leg, and tried hard to force a smile, pretending that nothing was wrong.
Seeing that Mrs. Qiao was still caring about her and comforting her at this time, Grandma Qiao was very moved. She couldn't help feeling guilty for having arbitrarily separated the two of them before, and she slowly let go of the knot in her heart.
No matter what, Qiao is her best daughter-in-law. They have been through so many life and death hardships together. As long as the family is well, why should she care so much about other things?
From then on, she would never interfere in their affairs again.
…
Time passes quietly, summer is approaching quietly, the construction of the village is basically complete, and every household has no problem with food, clothing, housing and transportation.
She watched as her money was spent in large sums without any new source of income. The cost of repairing the house and building the school was too high, plus the usual food expenses, she was basically in a negative expenditure state now. If she hadn't made a lot of money from selling potatoes from the potato banquet she organized before, she would have become a negative mother-in-law long ago!
Although the shop is still profitable, I have to find a new livelihood as soon as possible. After all, I have two children to support and will need a lot of money in the future.
Jiang Xueying decided to find another way to make money, so she hired someone to cultivate a lot of wasteland in the back mountain. She didn't plant anything in the first month, but just hired people to fetch water for irrigation every day.
Seeing that Jiang Xueying had reclaimed so much wasteland, many people in the village thought that she was going to plant potatoes on a large scale. But when they saw that she was just watering the land but not planting anything, they couldn't help but feel curious.
But they soon realized that the wasteland on the mountain had not been utilized and needed water. If the water was sufficient, the land would naturally become more fertile, and anything planted would definitely have a good harvest.
Jiang Xueying soon heard the villagers' discussion about what they were going to plant on so much land, which made her laugh. It seemed that whatever she was doing now attracted a lot of attention.
After a month of maintenance, the land is now quite fertile. Jiang Xueying plans to plant some vegetables first. However, these vegetables take time to grow and need to be well cared for.
Jiang Xueying was happy to see the vegetables in the soil sprouting in just a few days, but it also surprised some people in the village. After all, this land had been left uncultivated for many years, and even if it was watered so much, it would not be possible to grow many crops. But now the sprouts are looking promising, and it is obvious that the vegetables will grow well.
You know, the land in the village is limited. Many people had their eyes on the wasteland, but they couldn't turn it into farmland. But Jiang Xueying has done it now? What did she do?
"Hey, how did Jiang Xueying do it? How could she turn the wasteland into fertile soil? Is it because the thing she planted is different? What new thing is this?"
"No, I've checked it out. The vegetables she grows in her field are the same ones we usually grow!"
"Yes, yes, the daughter-in-law of the Ye family is really amazing. Not only did she promote such a good thing as potatoes, but now she has also turned wasteland into treasure. No wonder their family's life is getting better and better!"
"Yes, we all had to thank her for escaping the disaster during the flood!"
After repairing their own houses, the matter of building a new school was also put on the agenda. Many villagers who had repaired their own houses heard about it and came forward to help. Jiang Xueying was naturally more than happy to help when she heard about it, but she couldn't let them work for free, so after discussing with the village chief, she said that they should be paid. The village chief was happy and went to promote the matter.
The village had just experienced a disaster and was in a time of reconstruction. Now Jiang Xueying not only generously helped the village build a school, but also provided extra income for the villagers who worked there. The village chief had an even higher opinion of her.
The villagers were more supportive of building the school. Not only could it educate the next generation, but it could also make money. It was an unimaginable good thing, and many people in the village joined in.
