I took my game account back to ancient times to do business

Chapter 176
On this day, Mrs. Li of Qiao's family in Baihe Village was very conflicted.

Lu Shi and Qiao Zaohua got up early in the morning and went to the county town before dawn, but they didn't come back until after feeding.Mrs. Li was a little uneasy, and she also hoped that Mrs. Lu would not come back otherwise.

No one cooks, so Li has to feed herself.

The large kitchen has coarse grains such as yellow millet and sorghum noodles.Mrs. Li really didn't want to eat these anymore.In this prosperous year, why can't she eat some fine rice and white noodles?
It happened that Mrs. Lu was not at home, so she walked into the upper room with peace of mind, and swaggered open the grain cabinet on top of Mrs. Lu's kang.

Originally, Mrs. Lu’s grain cabinet was locked with a lock. Unfortunately, the lock has not been changed for a long time, and it is a little rusty. In addition, it is a cheap product, and the lock cylinder is not accurate. With a little twist, it pops off easily, and then returns to its original shape.

This little secret was discovered by her two years ago when Mrs. Lu was going to the market. She sneaked into the upper room and she never told Mrs. Lu.

Of course, she didn't dare to take too much at once.The mother-in-law is an extremely shrewd person, if she finds out that there is a shortage of food, the whole family will be turned upside down!

Mrs. Li grabbed a handful of white noodles, mixed them with mung bean noodles and baked a few flatbreads, stewed a small jar of yellow rice, and mixed a plate of bean sprouts.

She was also overjoyed to find two eggs in the chicken coop!

The egg is still a little hot, it's the hen's just laid!
She rolled her eyes, since Mrs. Lu was not around, no one knew that the hen had laid eggs today!She quickly put the two eggs into her arms and took them to the kitchen to make a plate of oily, golden scrambled eggs.

She took a bowl, filled it with a shovelful of yellow rice, put a spoonful of eggs, bean sprouts, and pickles on the rice, covered it with half a piece of cake, and took it to her house.

"Bao'er, you eat by yourself, mother will deliver food to your father."

Qiao Bao'er sniffed vigorously, and asked, "Mom, is the sun coming out from the west today?"

Mrs. Li smiled, and winked at Qiao Bao'er mysteriously: "Your grandma and old lady Ni are going to the market today, so they won't come back to eat. This is something my mother secretly made for you. Eat it quickly, after you finish eating Hurry up and wash the dishes, and then go to the kitchen to diffuse the smell, so that grandma can't know that we ate delicious food."

Qiao Bao'er nodded, and said childishly while slurping up the rice: "Grandma can eat delicious food when she's not at home. It would be great if grandma was never at home!"

Mrs. Li just smiled, and didn't criticize the child for his outrageous thoughts. He poured the rest of the vegetables into the rice pot, and went to the field with the pot.

Qiao Lin was still busy in the fields, his thin body kept swinging the hoe, sweating profusely.

Mrs. Li yelled from a distance: "Father, it's time to eat."

Seeing this, Qiao Lin wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and came over to eat.

As soon as he opened the earthen jar, he was stunned: "Here, the sun is coming out from the west?"

Pfft, Qiao Lin and Qiao Baoer are indeed father and son, they even speak the same words.Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Mother is not at home today, so I will cook stew for you. It is busy farming season, and you can't even eat dry rice on weekdays. You are so hungry! I think there are still a lot in Mother's cabinet. As for white flour, it can be exchanged for a lot of rough grain in the county. But she knows that the whole family is short of food, so she wants to feed her fat girl as much as possible."

Qiao Lin was gnawing on pancakes, and he was shocked when he heard this.

He hesitated for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "So you know how to cook?"

Mrs. Li said in a bad mood: "How could I not know it at all! Besides, who can cook a pancake and stew it?"

Of course she wouldn't say that she was hiding her clumsiness in front of her mother-in-law, so she could play tricks to make herself lazy and not do housework.

Qiao Lin smiled and continued to eat.

Li Shi couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw her husband gobbling it up.

There are only ten or so acres of land left in the family, and the Yongye land is sold out by Mrs. Lu.With such ten acres of land, in an ordinary family, at least a whole family would have to work in order to cultivate it well. How could it be that she and her husband are the only two working in the field in their family?
I don't know what my mother thinks, she regards a water that is about to be poured out as a treasure, but her decent eldest son and grandson are as hungry as hungry ghosts!Could it be possible to rely on her son-in-law to pay her funeral in the future?

There is also my brother-in-law, who said that he was selected as a scholar, but the scholars of other families are all very respectable people. If you find any job in the county, you can earn three or four money a month, and the whole family eats and drinks well.But how come Qiao Hua still only knows how to study hard until now, like a wooden stake, and even the serious expenses have to be filled by her own mother?
Not long after, Qiao Lin finished eating a large jar of rice and ate two flatbreads.Mrs. Li quickly untied the gourd from her waist and handed it over: "Here, I dried the sugar water."

Flattered, Qiao Lin took two sips and put it down, saying, "Take it back and let the child drink it, he likes sweet things."

"I left him a big bowl, you drink yours."

"When will Mother come back?" Qiao Lin was a little worried.If the mother came back and smelled the eggs in the kitchen, wouldn't the sister-in-law be torn apart according to the temper of the old girl?

"I don't know." Li Shi also felt a little strange, "But if they haven't come back from the county at this point, then they won't be able to come back today."

"Maybe it's possible to live with the third child. She hasn't visited the third child for quite some time."

Mrs. Li nodded hesitantly, but she always felt uncertain.

I wish something bad was going to happen.

After delivering the food to Qiao Lin, Mrs. Li returned to the village from the ridge of the field carrying the earthen pot. As soon as she reached the entrance of the village, she was stopped by two strange men.

These two men were tall and strong, dressed in black robes, they looked rather difficult to mess with.Li Shi was suddenly a little scared.Thinking about it again, in broad daylight, the two people from other villages definitely wouldn't dare to do anything in broad daylight.She shrank back and summoned up the courage to ask, "Who are you?"

Tang Dalang tried his best to look amiable, and he asked, "Don't be afraid, lady, we're just passing by and asking people in our village about something."

"Oh..." Only then did Li feel relieved, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

"Is there a rich family named Joe here? Are you familiar with their family?"

Li's heart skipped a beat.

Who are they?Why do you want to inquire about your own family?
Li Shi changed her mind and thought again, could it be that the Jianghu person who her mother-in-law offended asked some helper to seek revenge?
Thinking of this, Li Shi bit the tip of her tongue and tried to calm herself down. She shook her head and said, "I don't know you well. Their house is closed all day long, and they don't come out to walk around with the villagers. They almost come and go with my house."

After that, she pointed in the opposite direction of her house, and said: "There are old ladies in the village under the big tree at the entrance of the village over there. They often talk behind others' backs. You can ask them."

If it's about that Jianghu person, others really don't know, and these two people can't find anything even if they ask.

After dismissing these two people, Mrs. Li ran back home in a hurry, closed the courtyard door tightly, and leaned on the door panel to calm herself in shock.

While breathing smoothly, he recalled the clothes of those two people just now.

wait a minute...

Black crew neck gown, soap boots, copper straps on the sash...

Isn't that a bad person!
