"Brother Baosheng, this corn is getting old. I originally planned to sell it for the last day tomorrow, but something like this happened and I can't sell it anymore. I'm afraid that beast will make trouble." Lu Qiaozhen said suddenly.

"Well, I won't sell it anymore." Baosheng was a little hoarse, and then he continued in a low voice: "It's because I have no ability to protect you and let you suffer."

"What did Brother Baosheng say? This matter has nothing to do with you. Xiaosan and I are very grateful for your help. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would suffer a big loss today. I feel sorry for bringing you into it." Yours, don't say such things." Qiaozhen said in a hurry, she really felt a little sorry for the other party.

Hearing what she said, Zhang Baosheng's back stiffened for a moment, and all the carriages paused. Did she really feel that it had nothing to do with her?In her heart, she is an outsider.Baosheng's heart sank very hard.

"Those two gentlemen..." Baosheng didn't finish his sentence, he didn't know how to continue, he could tell that those two young masters were both nobles, and they were both interested in Qiaozhen. He was really afraid that those who had The son and young master of the Qian family, they couldn't be serious about Qiaozhen, he was afraid that Qiaozhen would suffer.

"They didn't come from people like us. Brother Baosheng, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion in my heart, and I won't have any unreasonable thoughts." Qiaozhen said seriously.

Baosheng said nothing more.Pulling the cart and continuing to walk, when it was time for Qiaozhen's house, Baosheng stopped the cart, stuffed the money bag to Qiaozhen, and pulled the cart away without waiting for Qiaozhen's reaction.

This man, this is today's income. There are more than 100 Wen, and he gave it to himself. Although these days, I have made a net profit of two to three hundred Wen for him, but that is what he deserves.

Qiao Zhen put the helpless money into her bosom, if she chased after her, it would not be good to fight for others to see, and keep the money by herself, if there is any profitable business in the future, call him, he is a good partner .

Qiaozhen told Xiaosan not to talk about the money, and don't go into details about today's affairs, just let her talk, Xiaosan nodded.

"Zhen'er, San'er is back? Why is it so late today? Wash your hands and drink some soup." Seeing the two coming back, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly greeted them.

"Hey." Qiaozhen replied, and took Xiaosan to wash her hands.

While drinking the soup, Qiaozhen kept her head down as much as possible so that no one could see her. It was obvious that Liu Mingyi hit her on the face.

"I think people have eaten outside. The food in our family is not delicious, and people don't care about it. They don't care about everything all day long, and they don't pay for it. They still want to eat good food. How can it be so cheap. "Yuhua saw that Zhenfan was eating slowly, so she taunted her.

Qiaozhen didn't say a word, she still lowered her head.

Mrs. Zhou also felt that something was wrong with her daughter, and asked, "Zhen'er, what's the matter? But it's forced? How about letting Qiaohong go with her tomorrow."

"No, mother, I won't sell it tomorrow. It's almost time for the autumn harvest. The corn is not tender. There are not many people buying it. Let's rest for two days and prepare to harvest the corn." Qiaozhen raised his voice when he was speaking. She can't answer her mother's words with her head down.

The second sister-in-law, Meihua, was sitting next to her. Qiaohong didn't see Qiaozhen's face clearly on the other side, but Meihua did. What's wrong with her sister's face?Like being beaten, but what happened?

"Auntie, you are blushing, what's wrong?" Shengzi asked softly, he likes this aunt very much now.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Zhou followed her grandson's gaze and was stunned.

"It's okay, I'm on the bus." Qiaozhen hurriedly said it's okay.

Zhou frowned, the bruise was not like this, what happened to the girl.

Yuhua curled her lips and said: "Don't be ashamed, it looks like you were slapped, I'm afraid you did something embarrassing outside, and you were found and beaten? It's really embarrassing."

"Zhen'er, who is it? Who hit you. Tell your mother quickly, it's that turtle grandson." Mrs. Zhou was very angry and asked her daughter. The man also stopped his chopsticks at the table, waiting for Qiaozhen's answer.

"My sister didn't do anything shameful. It was that beast. That beast came up to beat my sister. That beast is not a human being. Don't blame my sister." The third son defended the elder sister loudly.

Everyone understood that Liu Mingyi was the only one who was called a beast in this family. He was really a bully when he came up to fight Qiaozhen.But how could he meet Qiaozhen?
"Why?" Wang Changshun asked his youngest son with a sullen face.

"When Lai Zhong saw my sister selling corn, he said that she was ashamed. He also said that my sister was someone he didn't want, that she was hooking up with men when she sold corn, and asked her to kneel down and beg him. If she refused, he scolded and beat her. , and someone caught me, my sister asked him to let me go, but he refused.

He also beat and bullied his sister, she couldn't help but beat him too, and he wanted to report to the police, but in the end the two sons passed by and helped us, we didn't mess with him at all, he was the one who found us. "Xiao San told the matter in his own way.

"This bitch grandson, he's divorced, I'm so lucky, what am I doing for him, what kind of thing is he, why do he care about this leniency, he is bullying me, Qiaozhen is used to bullying, son of a bastard, You should slap him." Zhou scolded angrily.

Wang Changshun and Dazhong were very angry in the second center. The other party went too far. This is bullying him. There is no one in the Wang family.

"Qiaozhen, you, you really hit him? He, he is a man!" Yuhua, the sister-in-law, asked in disbelief.

"Slapped, the eldest sister beat her so hard that she jumped up and down and screamed in pain." Xiao San'er said very relieved.

Everyone looked at Qiaozhen in amazement, although they all spoke very powerfully, but Liu Mingyi is a juren after all, no one really hit him, Qiaozhen was so thin and weak that he hit him straight up, is it true?

"Well, I was also in a hurry at the time, and didn't think too much about it." Qiaozhen said with her head lowered. If she spread the word like this, she would be a shrew.

"I hit it, Qiaozhen, it's okay. We won't sell the corn in the future. If the grandson dares to come in the future, I'll ram him to death with a pole." Wang Changshun actually didn't agree with his daughter going out to sell corn. Although you can make some money, it's not good to show your face.

"Hey." Qiaozhen agreed, and didn't say anything more.

Qiaozhen didn't go out on the second day, and because they didn't destroy the stove when they left, the people sent by Liu Mingyi waited there for a whole day without waiting for her. As for the other two groups of people, it was just for fun, I want to know recent events.

Another day passed, and the autumn harvest began. The members of the Wang family, including Wang Changshun and No. [-] Middle School, stopped working part-time and came back to help.

There are only three Qiaozhen sisters left in the family, and the rest all went to the field. Because there are two children in the family and an old man who needs to be taken care of, so many people are kept. Otherwise, only one person is usually left at home to cook and do chores of.

Qiaozhen gave Qiaohong [-] Wen for her to go to Jiangma, because there was a butcher in Jiangma, and asked her to buy all the [-] Wen into meat, the autumn harvest was a physical labor, and it was almost too much to eat. No nutrition at all, that would be fatal.

Looking at the more than a catty of meat that Qiaohong brought back, Qiaozhen also felt greedy and flustered. She hadn't seen meat for more than two months. She didn't think so before, but now she really wants to take a bite.

But I don't have much money in my hand, so I can't afford to eat a large piece of meat. Qiaozhen cut up all the meat, then stir-fried it and put it in a big bowl, so that I can use it every meal. The few days.

It was still vegetable soup at noon, but some meat was added to it, and seeing the oily flowers on it, it was really delicious.The cakes were also replaced with cornmeal cakes instead of bean dregs cakes. Bean dregs cakes are not very hungry, but not as fragrant and delicious as corn flour cakes.However, cornmeal pancakes are not often eaten, because they are regarded as food, so they must be eaten sparingly, otherwise the family may run out of food.
