Chapter 71 I think you abducted it
It snowed heavily at night, and it didn’t stop until the next morning. In order to be able to buy things, the children were given a holiday today, so they don’t have to go to class anymore.
After breakfast, she let the children watch Linger, and she got busy in the kitchen.
Steamed buns, steamed buns, don’t need to be steamed, those given by shopkeeper Lu can last for a long time.
Checked, melon seeds, dried fruit, sugar, etc., I need to add, the town has been snowing for days, some shops closed early, and some vendors no longer have stalls, so I can't buy these at all.
She took out some chestnuts from the space, changed the knives one by one, and lit the fire in the stove.
Put vegetable oil and a large spoonful of sugar in the pot, pour the chestnuts in, and stir-fry continuously. In about two quarters of an hour, a pot of sugar-fried chestnuts will come out of the pot.
Just about to fry the second pot, the courtyard door rang.
Qiao Mai frowned, wiped his hands and opened the door, saw that it was the mayor, and looked behind him to understand.
"Mayor, what's the matter?"
The mayor's face was quite ugly, "The eldest granddaughter of the Yuan family in Lihua Village is missing. They said they came to look for you a few days ago?"
Qiao Mai glanced at Qiao Jiang, "I don't even want to talk about these people. They are really shameless. They broke up with each other, turned their faces, and kept getting people to block my eyelids. The adults don't come, let the children Come on, let me ask you, can your skin be thicker?"
Qiao Jiang pursed her lips and remained silent. The guard held an umbrella for the mayor, and mayor Qian glared at her.
"You just said you never came to see you?"
"Come on, she said she was hungry, I gave her a big bun and left, what's wrong?"
"The person disappeared and hasn't returned until now. They thought you left her behind."
"How is it possible? It's impossible for me to keep anyone from Qiao's family. The child said that if she couldn't get anything, her family would not let her go back. Maybe she should find a place to stay after she left here? "
Mayor Qian turned around and looked at Qiao Jiang, "You heard me, I came here, gave me a bun, and left."
"I don't believe it, she must have hidden my daughter."
"I said that your Qiao family is really good. In such a cold weather, a little girl was asked to come out to beg for food. Is there no food at home? No one followed her, and she might be abducted by some trafficker."
"I think you abducted it"
"Qiao Jiang, if you dare to frame me, believe it or not, I will sue you at the Yamen?"
"Hmph, she's here to look for you anyway."
"Why did she find me? I don't owe her anything. It was you who made her come to me. You are the ones who should be responsible."
Mayor Qian had a headache when he heard it, "Is she really gone?"
"He walked away eating buns. Why don't you send guards to inquire from house to house in the town. If it's sunny, someone must have seen it."
"Okay, then the mayor of the town will send guards to ask first."
Qiao Jiang became anxious at this moment, "Master Mayor, my daughter must be at her house, you just ask the guards to search directly."
The guard gave him a pat on his stomach, "Do you dare to stop the order from the mayor? Will you bear the crime of framing? If no one is searched, you will have to go to jail."
Qiao Jiang covered his stomach and stared at Qiao Mai, "You are really cruel, but you just let the child come to you to beg for something, and you actually detained him and refused to let him go home?"
Qiao Mai pointed at the sky and swore, "If I detain your daughter, I will be hit by thunder from the sky."
"you!"
Qiao Mai rolled his eyes at him, and immediately smiled at the mayor, "The girl is not young, and the possibility of being abducted is not high. You can go to the shops on both sides of the official road and inquire about it."
The mayor left with his guards, Qiao Jiang looked up at Qiao Mai.
"People have to be conscientious, sister."
"Ah bah, your conscience has been eaten by dogs, you still have the face to tell me your conscience, get out!"
Qiao Mai turned back and blocked the courtyard door, and went back to the kitchen to continue her sugar-fried chestnuts.
After two pots of frying, someone knocked on the door again, and she frowned, wanting to be annoyed.
He came out angrily and opened the door to see that it was Yuan Jiaqi who had returned. He hurriedly squeezed out a smile and took the New Year's goods in his hand.
"I'm home?"
"Well, let's get in the door, it's almost sold out."
The two went straight to the warehouse with the things, and after putting the things in, Yuan Jiaqi went to the kitchen to light a fire for her.
Smelling the sweet chestnut, he couldn't help but took one and ate it.
"You fried it so delicious, the chestnuts are noodle and sweet."
"If it tastes good, eat more."
"The guards inquired about the girl from Qiao's family. They said that the dental shop sold her to a rich family in the county. Her father was very happy when he heard that he had found it. He didn't ask how the child was. He asked where the money was sold. The mayor had the guards beat him up."
"and after?"
"The tooth shop said that this little girl sold herself, and the money is in her own hands. Guess what happened to Qiao Jiang?"
"I must have asked where the family was, and then I couldn't wait to hire a bullock cart to go to the county seat?"
Yuan Jiaqi smiled and praised her, "You are so smart."
"It's not that I'm smart, it's that his family is virtuous. They have no sense of humanity at all. They only have money in their eyes. If the little girl is smart, she will definitely keep the money. If she is not smart, she will give it to him."
"Our family members are like this, sometimes I really can't figure it out."
"You don't have to figure it out because you have a bad nature, but anyone with a little conscience can't do this kind of thing like sucking the blood of their own children."
The two of them spoke a few words before the courtyard door rang again. Qiao Mai took a deep breath to give himself some relief.
Yuan Jiaqi saw that her face was not good-looking, and immediately got up to open the door.
What came into view was a chubby girl with a girl standing beside her. The girl was wearing satin clothes and a cloak with a fur collar.
When she saw Yuan Jiaqi, her eyes were fascinated, and she opened her mouth to say:
"Yuan Lang, I finally met you."
"I'm sorry, girl, please respect yourself, Yuan doesn't know you."
Qiao Mai, who had been suppressing the fire in the kitchen for a long time, held a stick in his hand, held it again and again, trying not to get angry.
"Yuan Lang, I'm from Tiannan Town, the girl from the family who wants to marry you."
"Yuan has joined Qiao's family, please go back, girl."
The fat girl wanted to enter the courtyard as soon as she smiled. Qiao Mai also rushed to the gate of the courtyard at this time, stretched out her hand and pushed the girl out, almost falling to the ground.
Originally, she was pretending to be a lady, but after being pushed by Qiao Mai, she immediately revealed her true colors.
She let out a groan, pointed at Qiao Mai and started cursing.
"You are that bitch, right? You stole my Yuan Lang, right?"
"Where did you come from that stinky and shameless thing, who came to my house to mess with you. No wonder you haven't married at this age. You want to use money to buy a good husband. Unfortunately, your calculation is wrong."
"I fought with you, you stole my man, and you dare to insult me."
This movement attracted the neighbors around, no matter how cold the weather was, no matter how heavy the snow was, they would come out to have a look.
Qiao Mai threw the stick in his hand, and grabbed the fat girl's hair with both hands.
Women fight, there are not many moves, grabbing hair is victory, her girl wanted to come to help, but was kicked aside by Qiao Mai, lying on the ground for a long time unable to get up.
Using this skill, she pulled her hair and started to attack.
Strands of blue hair just fell off, and the fat girl couldn't help screaming in pain.
But that cheap mouth didn't let the wind down at all, "Do you dare to let go of my hair, my mother beats you all over the place."
"You are a rotten thing that no one wants on the street. You want to buy my man just because you have a few filthy money, and you don't even look at how many catties you have. I don't even want you even if you go in the door, it shows how bad you are."
"You are the only one who is rotten, and your whole family is rotten."
"Then let me see who is rotten today."
Qiao Mai, who was holding her hair, freed up a hand, slap, slap, slap, slap, and slapped her hard with her big mouth.
