On the day of marriage, I must invite the people in the village to eat and drink, and it is also a big expense to buy vegetables, thinking about it, Qiao Shushu specially ran to the bamboo forest and dragged two large bundles of bamboo back.

This time, Qiao Shushu made a large basket that could hold a lot of things, and he made thirty of them, but it was still not enough, so he simply added the forty or so flower baskets last time, anyway, he didn't need them now.

If one can be sold for fifteen yuan, it is one thousand and sixty-five yuan, and it can be sold for one or two pieces of silver.

It's small, but it's still an income.

Qiao Shushu found the old man Ni in the village.

He was sitting on a recliner, holding a puff fan in his right hand, basking in the sun leisurely, when he heard a movement at the courtyard door, he opened his eyes lazily and flashed, and saw that it was Qiao Shushu, and snorted coldly: "Yo, it's the bride-to-be!" ”

Qiao Shushu heard the sourness in these words, and approached and said, "Uncle Ni, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Seeing her approaching him, Old Man Ni shuddered and hid behind the chair in a panic, "Don't come here, I'm going to call someone if I come over again, a little girl, what can you discuss with me?" ”

That day, he just thought that this girl was handsome, and after looking at it twice, he was almost beaten by Li Zheng, but fortunately his daughter-in-law came out.

He was busy saying that he was an old man and had no extra thoughts, so he let him go, otherwise, maybe he was still lying in bed now.

Qiao Shushu didn't understand, and when he saw Old Man Ni's oxcart in the yard, he almost said, "Grandpa Ni, didn't you go to town today?" ”

As soon as he said this, he was angry, Xu Yixuan went to Qiao's house this morning, but it was so majestic that the whole village ran to see it, so he ran away early in the morning and didn't live.

But he didn't say this to Qiao Shushu, lest people think he blamed her.

"It's useless to have a sweet mouth, let's say, what are you looking for me?"

Qiao Shushu saw that there was a way out of this matter, so he said his thoughts.

It is not allowed to set up a female household in this dynasty, not to mention that she is still an unmarried girl, and now the Qiao family is a little chaotic, and her father and mother are in that situation, so it is difficult to speak.

It just so happened that Old Man Ni would go to the town every day, and he also set up a merchant, and every time he went, he would put a dozen baskets on the roof of the car, and he would sell them as soon as he came and went.

Seeing that Old Man Ni squinted and didn't speak, Qiao Shushu took a deep breath and didn't make a sound.

After a few minutes of stalemate like this, Old Man Ni's eyes were blind and Qiao Shushu didn't react, so he simply said, "Then how many red heads are you going to give me." ”

"Two out of ten."

"No, it's too little."

Qiao Shushu looked at the proud old man Ni and frowned, "That's okay, I'll go to Carpenter Li, he probably goes to the town often." ”

"There you go." Old man Ni lay back in his chair.

Qiao Shushu walked a few steps and came back, "Say, how much do you want." ”

Old man Ni narrowed his eyes and stretched out four fingers.

Qiao Shushu gasped, "Or I'll give you eight tenths." ”

Old man Ni looked at her with interest, "It's okay." ”

"Phew, dream."

Qiao Shushu turned his head and left.

She is going to find Carpenter Li, even if she is Qiu Yingying's maternal grandfather, but business is still official, right? Anyway, it's a business.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the person behind me say something quietly.

"Do you want to find Old Man Li? To tell the truth, he didn't have an ox cart, and I gave him all the furniture that the townspeople ordered from him. ”

Qiao Shushu took a deep breath and came back with a smile, "Okay, I'm kidding, or I'll give you three tenths of the red head." ”

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qiao Shushu's face turned cold, "I can't do any more, I have to work hard to make this up, my hands are all calluses, not to mention that I can't make any money." ”

Old man Ni glanced at her, "The things are at your house, right, I'll go to your house to pull them later." ”

It's agreed.

Before Qiao Shushu could be happy, she saw a person about the same age as Old Man Ni walk in, and she remembered that this person seemed to be Carpenter Li.

He glanced at Qiao Shushu and said, "I just saw that you guys were chatting happily, what's the matter?" ”

When Old Man Ni saw him coming, he hurriedly handed him a glass of water on the table next to him, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and it's nothing, it's just that this girl from the Qiao family has made some bamboo baskets and wants me to help her take them to the town to sell." ”

"Bamboo basket?" Carpenter Li's face sank for a moment

Qiao Shushu suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect that someone in the Qiao family would be willing to do such a tedious thing." Carpenter Li said with a stiff face.

Qiao Shushu smiled, didn't say anything, briefly explained a few words to Old Man Ni and walked outside, and after leaving the courtyard door, he immediately retreated to the root of the wall.

I only heard Old Man Ni say: "How much furniture do you have in your hands this time?" I have to weigh it, after all, I still have to help her deliver the Qiao family's girl's things. ”

Old man Li was silent, and after a while, he said under the shout of Old Man Ni: "If I am not mistaken, only the bamboo forest in the west of our village has bamboo." ”

Old man Ni was vigilant all of a sudden, "Don't you think about the idea of playing a bamboo basket, I said that you are also old, and you can't do it if other people's little girls want to make money." ”

"I didn't mean that, I had to go back and count how much furniture there was, I don't remember." Old man Li's face changed greatly, and he was about to leave vaguely.

Old man Ni saw that something was wrong with him, frowned, and didn't say anything.

And Qiao Shushu, who had been standing in the corner, quickly hid, and after he came out, he followed.

This followed, and followed to the Li family.

After the old man Li opened the courtyard gate, he quickly closed the courtyard door, and Qiao Susu climbed to the roof with vines and looked down at the Li family kneeling in the courtyard.

I saw that her forehead was oozing with sweat, the clothes behind her back were stained with blood, and her face was even more pale and weak.

She had been on her knees for two whole days, during which time she had not drunk a sip of water, and when she saw her father come in, she was about to pounce, but her legs were completely weak, and she fell to the ground just as she was about to stand up.

Old man Li's eyes were hidden, and he returned to anger within a moment.

He's done his duty all his life, but ......

He thought that day when he saw his daughter and the beast in Wang Dalu tied to the bamboo, he wanted to kill them.

"Dad, just spare me, I swear, I will never have anything to do with Wang Dalu in the future, you have left me here for two days, if you don't go back, your son-in-law will definitely suspect it." Li tried to use her husband as a shield.

But it made Old Man Li even more angry, picked up the whip next to him and pumped it.

"Ah...... Ah, it hurts, Dad, just spare me. ”

"Shut up, you still have the face to shout, if you do this kind of thing, you will dip the pig cage, I ......" Old man Li threw it away after a few whips.

He can't do it after all, he's just this one daughter!
