After such a long time, Qiao Xin and the others were already starving. The aroma of white bread from the roadside shop kept drilling into their noses, and their saliva was already overflowing. Several of them looked back frequently, their feet frozen in place, unable to move any further.
Qiao Xin touched her belly, not wanting to let her stomach suffer, so she took the lead without hesitation, sat at the table in front of the noodle stall, and waved to the stall owner: "Shopkeeper, give me four bowls of plain noodles first, and quickly!"
"Okay!"
After giving the order, he felt that the portion of one bowl for Qiao Yunxin and the others might not be enough, so he asked, "Do you want me to give you one more bowl each?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison. Their family was poor, so they had to be frugal with their money. This was the first time that Qiao Xin took them out to eat.
It’s nice to be able to taste it!
Qiao Xin stopped persuading her, as some ideas cannot be changed in a short period of time!
Soon, the stall owner brought out a tray with four bowls of hot noodle soup on it. He placed it on the table and made a tentative recommendation: "Would you like some meat, my dear guests? Thirty dollars for a pound of mutton, freshly slaughtered and cooked, guaranteed to be fresh."
Qiao Xin laughed, "People in the same industry are jealous of each other, why are you introducing business to others?"
The stall owner was about 40 years old, and he looked simple and honest when he smiled. He rubbed the linen towel on his hands a little embarrassedly and said, "That's my wife's stall."
Qiao Xin glanced at the delicatessen next door. She immediately understood. Look at the business that couple is doing. The couple cooperates perfectly, and they deserve to make money!
But at this moment, she really wanted to eat meat. The people around her rarely saw meat all year round, so they were probably the same. In addition, the adults and children at home who were still hungry should also eat more good food.
She took out half a tael of silver and thirty copper coins and handed them to the stall owner: "Then please buy thirty buns for us, and use the rest of your cooked meat. Cut two pounds and serve them first, and pack the rest of the meat with the buns so we can take it away."
The stall owner weighed the money in his hand, and was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes! He agreed and hurried to do it, fearing that Qiao Xin would regret it.
He didn't expect these people to be so generous. This half tael of silver is almost as much as he and his wife's two days' income.
Qiao Yunqing asked Qiao Xin about her plan while slowly putting the noodles into his mouth. The upbringing from his previous life had penetrated into his bones, and he ate noodles in a very serious manner.
"What are your plans next, mother?"
"Let's leave here first. Xiaoyao Hou and the Yang family may still have some arguments, and we can't get involved. We must leave Jing'an Town before dark.
We will buy two horse carriages for emergency use and hire a few people to help send the ox cart back to the village. The eldest and the third brother will go back to bring the other people and important things. When I left, I told the eldest brother's wife to pack up in advance. We don't need to waste much time in the village.
The second child and I went shopping for the items we needed on the road. We bought the necessities first, and then found an opportunity to replenish them when we arrived at the next place. The first priority was to leave first.
"Are you worried that the Yang family will be angry with us?"
"It's possible. Rich people think human life is worthless. I'm not afraid of being alone, but I have a big family like yours behind me. We can't afford to take the risk!"
"Didn't we save Marquis Xiaoyao's son? Is that a great favor?" Qiao Yunting didn't quite understand.
Qiao Xin glanced at her youngest son and decided to move. After staying in this small place for too long, her sons' experience could not compare with those in big cities.
"We should be thankful that Xiaoyao Hou has credibility. If it were someone else, they would have the final say. If they acknowledge it, then it's a favor. If they don't, they might label you as an accomplice in the murder of the prince. What can you do?"
That was why Qiao Xin was unwilling to let Xiaoyao Hou do her a favor, but insisted on buying him out with money, insisting on treating this action as a transaction.
Qiao Yunting couldn't help but ponder. Qiao Yunqing, on the other hand, looked at Qiao Xin twice more. He became more and more curious about the past life of this adoptive mother. How could she know so much about the ways of the rich and powerful?
Qiao Xin didn't really want to be so conspiratorial, but who hadn't read a few history books and watched some political dramas in her previous life? She had always been on the edge of danger, and she never minded thinking about human nature in the worst way.
To her family, either Xiaoyao Hou or the Yang family is a behemoth that cannot be provoked. If the Yang family compromises and offers chips that Xiaoyao Hou is tempted by in exchange for forgiveness of the matter, then her family may be pushed out as scapegoats.
As for Xu Can's good impression of them, it was worthless at the critical moment!
Even if Xiaoyao Hou was innocent and didn't expose them, what happened today happened in public, and in the Yang family's own restaurant. So many people saw it, and when they came to their senses, they would still take revenge.
Qiao Yunqing actually had the same idea. When he shared his idea with the two brothers, they immediately became anxious. They quickly finished their meal and then rushed towards the carriage and horse shop.
Qiao Xin had a lot of money, so naturally she chose the most comfortable and sturdy carriage without breaking the rules. Under the guidance of Qiao Yunqing, she finally bought two carriages for 120 taels.
Fortunately, Qiao Yunxin had learned to drive a cart when he worked for others before, so he got the hang of it after a little experimentation.
It was the first time for Qiao Yunxin to own a carriage of his own, and he couldn't help but get excited. "According to the rules, will this carriage belong to us from now on?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, that's it! Qiao has made you successful. What other families have, our family will also have slowly."
Qiao Yunxin was busy communicating with the horse, and it was unclear whether he heard it or not. He just said "Hey".
