Chapter 49
Qiao Lianlian divided the pig into pieces and hung them under the eaves, preparing to make some bacon and some sausages.

Tiger meat was too expensive, she didn't want to eat it, so she hung it up.

"Mother, do you want to sell this tiger skin?" Gu Zhong pointed to the white tiger skin that was being washed and dried, "Should we still go to the same place as last time?"

He heard from his younger sister that when his mother wanted to take them out for the first time, they were unwilling to go, so his younger sister stood up.

Mother took her younger sister to sell sheepskins, and bought a lot of things back.

"That boss is honest." Qiao nodded again and again, "Last time he gave a satisfactory price, so I'll go over and have a look this time."

If you sell things, you will be repeat customers, and if you receive things, you will also be rare repeat customers.

"Mother, is it my turn to go with you this time?" Gu Que poked his head excitedly.

Qiao smiled again and again, "This time Que'er Ge'er will follow, Zhong'er stays at home with Lou'er, mother will bring you delicious food."

Gu Lou, who was drooling at the pork on the beam, lowered his head aggrieved.

But he did hurt his leg, and it was indeed healing, and he couldn't move.

The most pitiful thing was Gu Zhong, who could have gone, but had to stay because he wanted to accompany him.

Fortunately, Gu Zhong has a calm temper and doesn't care about these things.

"When will mother go?" Gu Zhong asked lightly.

Qiao Lianlian thought for a moment, "Go now."

It's only half afternoon now, so there's no time to go to the town.

The tiger skin was a good thing, so it had to be sold quickly. If something happened to the old house, even if it cost someone a knife, the price would drop sharply.

Qiao Lianlian would die of heartache.

The mothers left as soon as they said they would, packed up the tiger skin and got into Uncle Niu's donkey cart.

"Why did Xiao Qiao go to the town again?" Uncle Niu was a little curious, "Didn't you just go there this morning?"

"I sent my eldest son to school in the morning, and now I'm going to do some shopping." Qiao Lianlian pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly remembered that she didn't even have a penny for the bus fare, so she asked Aunt Liu to borrow it now.

Now I go back and forth with my mother in the car, and I have never felt distressed.

It's good to have money after all!

"Oh, Gu Cheng is going to school." Uncle Niu looked surprised, "Okay, okay, Xiao Qiao is great, not only feeding a few children to make them fat, but also sending Gu Cheng to school, what can you do as a woman It’s been amazing to get to this point.”

Not only Uncle Niu, but other people in the car also looked over with envy or admiration when they heard this.

Joe smiled again and again.

Although she didn't think Gu Shao was very powerful, but this was outside, she had to save some face for the man, "It's also thanks to the child's father's hard work to support the family."

"Oh." Uncle Niu was transparent, he sighed and didn't speak again.

But at the bottom of his heart, he continued to believe that Gu Shao was a waste.

Half an hour later, the donkey cart arrived in Xiyang Town.

Qiao paid the fee again and again, got out of the car and went straight to the leather shop.

The person waiting at the door happened to be the little brother whom I met that day.

The little second brother has been worried about buying a black sheepskin for six taels of silver these days, and because Qiao kept sending him some fresh leather, he was even more convinced that the little woman with the child was a liar.

When Qiao Lianlian arrived, he was spitting and complaining to others, "That little woman is slender and weak, who knows she is a liar, and our shopkeeper also hunts geese all day long, but the geese pecked at her eyes for sixty years. Two silvers...it's a loss!"

Qiao repeatedly hugged Gu Ge, carried Gu Que, and coughed lightly.

The little second brother turned his head and was stunned when he saw that it was her.

But soon, the image of Qiao Lianlian at this moment overlapped with the image of the female liar that day.

Although the clothes are much neater and cleaner now, and the person is much more beautiful than before, but a female liar is a female liar!
The second brother jumped up subconsciously, pointed at Qiao and shouted again and again, "The female liar is here, the female liar is here."

With such a yell, the people in the store suddenly felt like they were facing an enemy, and they almost surrounded Qiao Lianlian's mother and daughter.

Qiao Lianlian was also a little unhappy.

She sent a tiger skin from thousands of miles, and was called a liar.

"What? Your store has been upgraded? No more skins?" Qiao Lianlian threw the tiger skin on the ground unceremoniously.

Gu Que was careful, the tiger skin was rolled up and wrapped with a layer of blue cloth, and it was thrown on the ground at this moment, and it was scattered, revealing a yellowish hair at one corner.

The second brother sneered, "What kind of crap did you take again..."

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but was pushed away by the shopkeeper who rushed down and interrupted the conversation.

"Madam, please come inside." The shopkeeper was a little nervous, squatting on the ground, picked up the blue cloth bag with both hands, without opening it, just kicked his arms like this, and respectfully gave way to the stairs behind him again and again.

The second brother opened his mouth wide: Is the shopkeeper's brain broken again?I have already been fooled by this female liar once, is it possible to do it a second time?

He tried to persuade him a few words, but the shopkeeper didn't even look at him, and apologized to the female swindler attentively all the time.

Qiao snorted again and again, the annoyance in her heart calmed down somewhat, and she also came to do business sincerely, so she didn't take Joe anymore, and took the two children to the private room.

The second brother stopped the shopkeeper, wanting to say something more.

Without saying a word, the shopkeeper tore a corner of the blue cloth bag in his arms and showed it to the second brother.

The little second brother's complexion changed drastically, and his heart was greatly shocked.

Until Qiao repeatedly negotiated the price with the shopkeeper and sold the tiger skin for 45 taels of silver, the little second brother still looked shocked and out of his mind.

Qiao Lian ignored him and left with the children.

"Mother, this tiger skin is so valuable." Gu Que sighed when he left the leather shop.

Their mothers worked so hard to sell stewed meat for several days and only earned a few taels of silver. As a result, a tiger skin was sold for 45 taels, which is really unimaginable.

"This tiger skin has wounds on its feet, so it's not complete, otherwise it should be higher." Qiao sighed again and again.

That's all, this tiger is already considered an accident, she shouldn't be greedy for more.

"Now the family should have 200 taels of silver. It is definitely enough to build a big brick house, build some furniture, and buy some high-quality bedding..." Qiao repeated his crazy calculations in his head.

Suddenly, Gu Que tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Mother, look, is that Dad?"

Qiao Lianlian looked along the girl's arm, and saw Gu Shao standing on the street, talking to two men in turbans.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Gu Shao, who was a bit dull in the past, now has a lot more unruly demeanor.

Even the movements during the speech had a vague taste of pointing the country.

It's like—the same shell, but with a different core.

Qiao repeatedly walked over by accident.

Just when Gu Shao turned his head and saw the figure of the three women, he paused and his heart beat wildly.
