Chapter 97： Then back?

Chapter 97 Then quit?

Seeing this, the servants in the family and the guys in front worked harder than before.

Time flashed to May 26th, the day when the Feng family hired the Lu family.

Qiao Mai did not go, but sent two cooks over.

In the afternoon, shopkeeper Lu came to her home to look for her, with a rather unsightly face.

"Sister, you are really right."

"How much dowry?"

"Thirty lifts. I have read the list of gifts and checked the betrothal gift. The total amount of the full dozen is no more than one thousand taels of silver."

"Don't worry about it. The Feng family has many descendants and supports several scholars. Although it is a small fortune, it is only on the surface. You gave Ruxin a generous dowry. His family dare not covet her dowry. Behind his house, Ruxin can also stand up straight, so we are married."

"Oh, I shouldn't be so anxious, I should wait. If it wasn't for my friend's relatives, I really want to quit this marriage."

"Everyone has their own way, at least you have a talented son-in-law at a young age, and the future is bright."

"That's what I said, but I just don't have the energy in my heart. If I give less dowry, I just look down on my daughter."

"Then quit?"

"Forget it, let's do it this way."

"Haha, you, you can't have your cake and eat it too, everything can't be perfect, and the son-in-law is the same."

"If he dares to betray my daughter in the future, I will find someone to kill him."

"You don't need to do anything, I, as a master, will definitely tear him into pieces."

"Hey, it's too serious."

"Has Xin'er started embroidering wedding dresses yet?"

"I didn't let her embroider, so I ordered it directly from Fucheng. It cost two hundred taels of silver for a set."

"No loss, my mother is really willing."

"It's only once in a lifetime, you have to be willing."

Looking at Lu Sanniang's mention of her daughter, she was delighted, and her mood also improved for no reason.

Linger is still young, and when she gets married in the future, as a mother, she also wants to let her daughter get married in a good manner from home.

The next day, Qiao Mai asked Yuehong and Yuexia to carry a box, and she carried Linger to the Embroidery Village. In the presence of the shopkeeper Lu and Ruyi, she gave Ruxin 1,000 taels of silver notes and two pairs of pairs of bags. A palace fan embroidered on both sides, and a double-sided embroidered screen to add makeup.

Ru Xin was so moved that she cried. In this world, apart from mother, it is the master who treats the sisters well.

Not only taught her craft, but also added makeup to such a precious girl.

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down to Qiao Mai, and she helped Ru Xin up.

"Being a master is not good for the apprentice? Who is good for you? If you get married in the evening, the master will add more make-up. Your mother hates marriage. She let you get married so early. If you ask me, I have to keep you no matter what." One or two years."

Ru Xin blushed, "I'll follow Mother's arrangements, and it's not far away. If I want to come back, I'll be there in an hour by carriage."

Upon hearing the meaning of these words, Qiao Mai understood that this girl was very willing to love the boy of the Feng family.

Ah~ Girls don't want to stay, she only has that man in her eyes, she doesn't think about the future at all, presumably there is love, no matter how hard life is, it will be sweet, right?

So Youyou said, "Sister, you must remember to bring the dowry gift list to the government for filing."

As soon as she said this, Lu Sanniang immediately woke up.

"Yes, our dowry is many times that of their betrothal gift. My daughter is submissive. I must not be cheated by their family in the future. Sister, you reminded me well, I will go to the Yamen tomorrow."

"Well, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others. We must guard the hard-earned money."

"knew,"

What should be done is done, and what should be explained is explained. She is free and has nothing to do. She carried Ling'er to the shop.

It was the time when the shop was crowded, and some old customers were resting at the tables outside, and they saw her rushing to say hello.

"I said Mrs. Qiao, what are you doing at home all day, we are all waiting for you to come here and make delicious food."

"I won't do it today, I'm tired, I'll go home after playing with my daughter."

"Yo, how old is my daughter?"

"One year and more than three months old."

"You're so beautiful. You're not very old, but you really know how to raise children. This little girl is really good at raising children."

"Eat well, dress well, it will naturally be like this."

Everyone looked at Linger in her arms, envious. The clothes on her body, the jade on the silver collar, and the pair of exquisite shoes all revealed Qiao Mai's love for the child.

Some people whispered, "I heard that Mrs. Qiao gave birth to a daughter before she got married, and she died within a few days of premature delivery. She was so kind to this daughter, maybe it was because of the former daughter?"

"It should be, I heard that the birthdays are all on the same day."

"Oh, it's really hard for her."

Qiao Mai's hearing has been quite sensitive since she practiced the Inner Strength Technique and the Cheats of Immortal Cultivation. She heard everything they said.

It's just that she pretended not to hear, and the corners of her lips curled up. This is what she wanted.

Everyone thinks she is her adopted daughter, so the Tian family should never think about Linger again.

The child belongs to her alone, and she does not allow the Tian family's dirty hand to reach out to Ling'er. If one day Linger really wants to, she doesn't mind killing all the Tian family.

On May 27th, Yuan Jiaqi and the children came back.

Seeing Mr. Wang, Qiao Mai felt a little headache. The old man couldn't rest for a few days, and he came back every time.

But this time back, she didn't let them idle.

Others' wheat has been harvested, but her family's five acres of land have not yet been confiscated, and they are just waiting for them to come back.

The tenants took over the 60 mu of land, and handed over 300 catties of grain per mu of land.

Today the weather is good, the harvest is 500 catties per mu, the tenants get 200 catties per mu, and the family has 4000 catties of grain.

They don’t need to control anything, and the net is four thousand catties. The three tenants are very happy.

The Qiao family paid 100 catties of grain tax per mu, 6500 catties for 65 mu, and 11,500 catties of wheat.

If the five acres of land are collected again, there will be more than 14,000 catties of wheat in the warehouse, which is enough for this family to suffer from man-made disasters for a year.

Wait until autumn, and you can collect another wave.

The three sharecroppers grow corn, which is generally planted in fertile fields. Only sweet potatoes, peanuts and other root crops will be planted in the wasteland where the harvest is not easy to reclaim.

The farm tools at home were all ready, and Qiao Mai ordered a dozen sets at the blacksmith shop in one go.

The whole family except the two girls, the cook and Yuehong, one cooks and the other takes care of the children, and everyone else goes to the field. Even Mr. Wang wants to experience the feeling of a farmer harvesting wheat.

Five acres of land, eight adults, three children, all harvested in one day, and it hasn't rained these days.

The ears of wheat are all dry, so there is no need to dry them in the sun. They are rubbed directly on the open ground. More than 2,000 catties of wheat took two days and went directly into the warehouse.

It wasn’t too tiring because there were too many people. On the third day, Qiao Mai hired a tenant farmer from his family to plow the five acres of land, and planted the corn seeds she provided like them.

When the rainy season comes, she doesn't want to bother, so she will plant this. After the corn is harvested, in winter, she will plant vegetables against the season.

It is rare that the old gentleman gave them two extra days off and stayed at home for five days.

Because of the hot weather, the family either eats cold noodles or noodles with fried sauce. Fortunately, they are served with six delicious cold dishes, and my husband is not picky.

He said, after doing the work, eating is delicious.

When he was leaving, he ransacked Qiao Mai's shop again, and he sent Qiao Mai a message from his granddaughter.

Ms. Wang said she would come back when she moved. She is busy with the family business now, because the Wang family has obtained many prescriptions, and she is so busy that she can't get away.

Seeing that the date of completion of the new home is getting closer, Qiao Mai and Yaxing ordered a few sika deer, a few red deer, and two cows. She wanted antler for the first one, and musk for the second. For herbivores, she can grow them in space, so she doesn't have to worry about their feed.
