Crossing the Book: The Vicious Female Supporting Woman Was Whitewashed by Fighting with the System

The first person to enter the yard was the old man who asked the question that day.

He looked to be over sixty years old, with a stooped back and a large backpack hanging on the back. It was full of honey locusts with water droplets on them, and it weighed at least eighty kilograms by visual inspection.

Because the weight of the backpack was too heavy, his already thin body was bent even further. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, it would be difficult for Qi Shu to notice him.

"Qi Xiucai, I brought the honey locusts on my back. Can you collect them today?"

The old man was breathing heavily when he spoke, but his voice was not high and was a bit muddy and hoarse.

Qi Shu was brought back to his senses by these words, and saw that the other party's whole body seemed to be sinking into the soil. He quickly put away the book and walked over, helping to take down the other party's backpack.

"I'll collect it today." Qi Shu took down the big backpack for him and responded in a good-tempered manner, "It rained heavily last night, and the honey locusts still look wet. Why do you always go up the mountain so early?"

The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled honestly: "I am getting old and can't sleep, so I went to the mountains when I got up in the morning."

After saying that, he rubbed his painful shoulder again and looked at Ling Yehan cautiously.

Ling Yehan also put away his book and looked here, but he was naturally expressionless and had an extraordinary aura, so he looked very hard to mess with.

The old man just glanced at it, then quickly looked away, and then spoke to Qi Shu, who looked friendly in front of him: "Where is your wife?"

"In the house, I called her to come out."

Qi Shu said, and then told Xiaohua: "Huahua, bring a small bench for grandpa."

Xiaohua looked up at the old man and nodded cutely: "Okay, daddy."

She hopped on her calves and went to the kitchen, took out a small wooden stool and handed it to the old man.

The old man saw how cute this little girl was and wanted to reach out and touch her, but he felt his hands were dirty, so he took it back halfway.

Qi Shu went to call Zhao Ling and poured a bowl of water for the old man. However, the old man was not in a hurry to drink it, but looked at Zhao Ling expectantly.

Zhao Ling had just tidied up the study room. He was covered in dust. After going out, he patted it twice. Then he looked at the old man and asked with a smile: "Old man, why are you here so early?"

The old man rarely exchanged greetings with such a young woman, so he smiled awkwardly but didn't know what to say.

Zhao Ling walked over, looked at the honey locusts in the basket on his back, plucked them a few times with his hands, and said with a smile: "The ones picked early in the morning are fresh, but there was a heavy rain last night, so this stuff is too wet. Let it dry before I give it to you."

Can you please weigh me?"

When the old man was on the road earlier, he was still thinking that today's honey locusts were stained with a lot of water. That day, the Qi family's wife said that there were conditions for receiving the goods. I don't know if the Qi family's wife would accept them today.

Now when I heard Zhao Ling say that it was just a matter of drying before being weighed, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

Zhao Ling then smiled again and said, "Then you just sit here and drink water while I pour out the honey locusts."

After she finished speaking, she walked over, picked up the big basket, and carried it to the place where she had laid out things to dry.

Only then did the old man realize that the area in the yard had been prepared for drying honey locusts. It seemed that the Qi family had already considered this situation.

He watched intently and found that the wife of the Qi family was not as lazy as the villagers said. On the contrary, she was not only very diligent, but also very strong.

Although she looks petite and petite, she looks more powerful than that Qi scholar!

Zhao Ling poured out all the honey locusts in the basket, and Qi Shu helped spread them to dry. The sun was strong at the moment, and within a quarter of an hour, the water vapor on them had basically dissipated.

Not long after the old man sat down, another person came behind him.

Zhao Ling turned around and was surprised to find that the people who came in carrying baskets on their backs turned out to be Mrs. Zhao and Old Man Zhao.

"Father? Mother? Why did you also bring honey locusts?"

Although Mrs. Zhao may be seen as vulgar and unreasonable, she is also quite ruthless in her work.

She was carrying a backpack about the same size as Old Zhao, which was filled to the brim with honey locusts. It was probably too heavy, and her face was red from exhaustion.

When she heard Zhao Ling ask her, she waved her hand and took off the backpack without even bothering to answer.

As soon as the things on her back fell to the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Ling: "Didn't you ask that girl Xiaohe to tell you? You need to collect honey locusts here, and it costs one penny per catty. I asked your father to go to the patriarch's house to tell you.

But the clan leader didn’t allow it, so I told my family to give it to you, regardless of the look on his face.”

Old man Zhao also put his backpack on the ground. After exhaling, he said a muffled "hmm" and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the two stepbrothers, Zhao Lao and Zhao Lao Er, also walking in from the door carrying baskets on their backs.

When they were young and strong, their backpacks were bigger than those of the two old men in front of them, and they carried more things. They were both flushed from exhaustion. When they saw Zhao Ling, they didn't know how to say hello, so they just nodded and said,

He put down the backpack without saying a word.

Regardless of his behavior or appearance, he is exactly the same as Old Man Zhao.

Zhao Ling: "..."

She felt the warmth of her family for Zhao Ningning.

"Have a rest, brother and brother are tired too." Zhao Ling said, turning to look at Qi Shu.

Qi Shu instantly understood what she meant, scooped out several bowls of boiled water, and specially added some sugar before serving it to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The little flower followed behind with a poop, and he also picked up a bowl and gave it to Boss Zhao.

Boss Zhao was serious about his words and tried his best to smile at her, but instead scared Xiaohua away.

Zhao Laoer was kind, stretched out his hand and touched Xiaohua's head.

Both of his family are boys, and when they see such a soft and waxy girl, they feel cute.

It's just that Xiaohua is very wary of strangers. She and Zhao Laoer are not familiar with each other, so they just walked around in front of each other and ran away.

Zhao Ling put down what she was doing and walked over to chat with Mrs. Zhao: "Are there many people going up the mountain today?"

Mrs. Zhao nodded repeatedly: "Many, they are all from Hedong Village here. There are almost no people in our Hexi Village."

"That's probably because most people don't know." After Zhao Ling finished speaking, he looked back at several backpacks in the yard.

Not counting the eighty kilograms that the old man weighed before, the four backpacks brought by the Zhao family alone basically weighed more than three hundred kilograms in total.

Zhao Ling had previously told the villagers the quantity, only two thousand kilograms, and she had given a one-month deadline. But now it feels like the quantity can be achieved in three to five days.

Zhao Ling also wanted to collect more. After all, there were more materials and more things could be made.

But her manpower is limited, and the surfactants she bought from the mall are also limited, so she may not be able to make more second-generation shampoos.

But when she saw Qi Shu washing the pot today, she suddenly had a new idea.

Perhaps, the next business direction does not need to be limited to hair washing and hair care, but can also be used for daily cleaning at home.

Such as dish soap.

But Zhao Ling feels that the most important thing is to discuss with the system how to earn points in the mall.

Without surfactant, it would be difficult for all her items to proceed to the next step.
