"It only says Beijing," Shen Changwang read the letter inside and out and saw a faint pink and white mark on the inside of the envelope. "Qiao? There is a word Qiao in it..."
His voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Hu Cuifen in astonishment, "Could it be her?"
Hu Cuifen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "It must be her!"
"Then how did she know about Shen Caihua and Qin Li, and why did she want to kill Meixiang?" Shen Changwang was even more confused. "She seemed to mean that Caihua should die."
"Could it be that the Qiao family discovered something? Does she want us to...kill Caihua?"
Hu Cuifen asked viciously.
"That's probably what you mean," Shen Changwang said, his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent. "She's a nuisance if she's alive. Let's just go all out and finish her off once and for all."
"No," Hu Cuifen was uneducated, but her brain was more flexible than Shen Changwang's. "Since she knows, then Caihua can't die so quickly for the time being.
Let's first try to tell her that Cauliflower is alive and well, so she can send us more money."
"Haha, Jinbao's mother, you are really thoughtful." Shen Changwang hugged Hu Cuifen and kissed her, then put his hand into her clothes. "What about reporting Qin Li?"
"Look at you, you're such a jerk," Hu Cuifen said shyly, pushing him aside. "Don't worry. When you're better, I'll call the stable and go to the mountains with you. If it's true, we can report it later."
"Okay, listen to my wife," Shen Changwang reluctantly pulled his hand out of Hu Cuifen's arms and gave her ten yuan. "Go to the brigade and buy me two pounds of meat and a bottle of wine. Let's have a couple of drinks."
"Got it. I'll buy two more pounds of peach cakes for Jinbao to eat."
Hu Cuifen took the money and left happily.
On Chentan's side, Qin Li gave Xie Junqian ten kilograms of frostbite cream and a large piece of meat, and then took a nap.
When it got dark, Song Che and Wei Xiao arrived at the same time and took away all the tea bran soap and the remaining frostbite cream.
Chen Tan thought that the three of them were helping her sell the goods. While she was grateful, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Brother, please be careful."
Qin Li smiled flattered when he heard this. It was the first time she cared about him so sincerely in all the time she had been here.
He rubbed her head and said gently, "I estimate that I won't be back until ten days later. Don't go out unless it's important. If you encounter any problems, go find Meng Wenwu."
"Okay, I will take good care of grandma." Chen Tan nodded heavily.
Song Che, who was standing aside, looked at the affectionate look between the two people and felt very uncomfortable when he thought of the person he loved following someone else all day long.
After the three people left, Chen Tan locked the door, checked the front and back yards, and then helped the old lady to rest.
From the next day on, she never left the house again.
I practice martial arts and read medical books in the morning, crochet slippers in the afternoon, and learn to cook delicious food from the old lady in the evening.
Six days later, Li Qiong and her husband suddenly visited.
There weren't many surprises with Chentan.
The two were accompanied by Meng Wenwu and Wu Xia, and brought a bunch of gifts.
Ten big red apples, a bunch of bananas, two cans of tangerines, two cans of milk powder, two pounds of brown sugar, four cans of malted milk, ten pounds of pork belly, a bicycle ticket, and thirty tickets related to food and clothing.
This was a generous gift. Meng Wenwu, who came with them, and several men from Dongwa Village who helped catch the pigs, were extremely envious.
This little flower from the Shen family married into the Qin family. Not only did she have good food and clothes, she also met a great benefactor.
"Grandma Qin, your granddaughter saved my son. I have always wanted to come to your house to thank you, but I am really too busy with work. Please bear with me!" Xia Jianguo, like Li Qiong, is of huge stature.
His face looked fierce when he wasn't smiling.
But when he smiles, he looks particularly silly.
Qin Qiuniang knew that Chen Tan had saved Xia Zhijie, so she warmly responded to their visit to express her gratitude, "You are so polite. My grandson is not at home, so please forgive me for not welcoming you properly!"
Listening to her elegant words, Xia Jianguo also realized that this old lady was not an ordinary mountain person.
The Qin family's yard was cleaned every day, and Chen Tan directly invited them to drink tea in the yard.
After a few lively chats, Li Qiong urged Xia Jianguo to collect the pigs quickly.
Meng Wenwu took his men to the backyard.
Before Qin Li left, he had piled a circle of firewood outside Chen Tan's tea soap making shed.
All they saw was a shed full of firewood.
"Wow, Qin Li has grown these two pigs really big this year!"
"Wow, this one must weigh over 400 pounds, right?"
Several men who helped catch the pigs surrounded the pigpen and praised it highly.
Meng Wenwu was also very happy. Qin Li's standard of raising two pigs every year reduced a lot of burden for their production team.
The two pigs are doing surprisingly well this year.
"Oh, this pig is well raised!" Xia Jianguo nodded happily.
He has been raising pigs for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen a pig that has grown so big and is so white and fat.
Qin Qiuniang, who came with them, was also surprised because it was usually her grandson who fed the baby.
Later, Chen Tan fed her, but she didn't even look at him.
However, the best we raised in previous years weighed only 300 kilograms, and that was just a pig.
This year is surprising. Both pigs have grown to more than 400 kilograms.
It’s just right to kill one and give them some nourishment.
Thinking of this, she looked at Meng Wenwu and said, "Wenwu, our family has a new addition this year, and both the Qin and Chen families need to send gifts. And since Xiaozi is getting married, we should just hand over a pig."
Meng Wenwu's eyebrows twitched, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "What the old aunt said is right. Qin Li's parents have a large family, and his father-in-law's Shen family is also a big family. It would be bad to be too rude, so let's leave one."
After saying this, he shouted to the members who came to help, "You guys come together and tie up the big pig and weigh it to see how heavy it is."
Chen Tanxing blinked her eyes, feeling that the conversation between the two was very strange.
Xia Jianguo, who was standing by, continued Meng Wenwu's words and said with a smile, "Four hundred and twenty kilograms, no escape."
When the grown men who came to help heard that Qin Qiuniang was going to keep a pig for the New Year, they drooled with envy.
They worked together to catch the largest pig and weighed it with the large scale that Xia Jianguo brought. It weighed 421 and a half pounds.
"Director Xia, you have a sharp eye!" Meng Wenwu gave Xia Jianguo a thumbs-up. "Have the prices increased this year?"
"The 30 cents for the task and the 50 cents for the rest is 5 cents less than in previous years." After Xia Jianguo finished speaking, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
They also know that raising pigs is hard work for the members under them, but they can't do anything about it.
Even so, the men who came to help were all delighted, because one pig was enough for Qin Li's family to build three brick houses.
Qin Qiuniang's face was indifferent. Ordinary people had to pay more than 70 cents to buy a pound of meat, and they also needed meat coupons.
She looked at Meng Wenwu and said, "Captain, Qin Li has gone to work in the county. Please help keep the account and take the money. When he comes back, he will come to your house to get it."
