The person finally left, and Qiao Mai heaved a sigh of relief, opened the courtyard door, went back to the house and fell asleep with Ling'er in his arms.

Even though they only came back for three days, it really made her tired.

The Yuan family had separated at this time, and the four brothers bought a homestead in the village and started building a house.

Each of them cooks their own meals, starting from the big room, and every time a meal is cooked, the children will bring it to the upper room.

They like to eat or not, and they will be hungry if they don't eat. They don't abuse the elderly, they just give away whatever they eat.

The old man Yuan and his wife scolded at first, but later the children put down their things and left without paying attention, and then they turned into physical actions. After the four brothers discussed it, they didn't even let the children send the food.

Beat the child vigorously, but still eat enough to support him.

Seeing their sons treating themselves like this one by one, they wanted to make a fuss, but they didn't expect the four families to unite.

During the pushing and shoving, the two old men were beaten by their daughter-in-law one and pinched by the other, and they suffered a lot.

When they calmed down, they would have time to listen to the fifth son's news.

As soon as he heard that the fifth child had actually gone to Fucheng to study, he immediately panicked.

It wasn't because he was afraid that he would become an official in the future, but because he was afraid that he would not be honored in the future, so he didn't care about anything else, so they found Qiao's family the day after Yuan's family left.

It was still early in the morning, just as the sky was bright, the door was knocked.

The two dogs kept barking when they heard the movement, and Qiao Mai, who was sleeping soundly in the space, felt something strange.

As soon as he came out of the space, he heard someone impolitely banging on the courtyard door.

She quietly came to the door, she pursed her lips when she heard the scolding outside, went to the kitchen, fetched a basin of water from the tank, grabbed a handful of ashes from the stove, threw them in and stirred them, The door slammed through.

It was still very cold in early March, especially early in the morning.

The two old things that had been splashed with water screamed, wiped the water off their heads with their hands, pinched their waists and cursed even harder.

Qiao Mai picked up the stick and opened the door, hitting them on their legs and buttocks.

The first time you hit him, you knew the pain. Qiao Mai didn't even give them a chance to scold them. The second time he hit him, he followed up, and the speed was very fast. Yuan Xu's one hit, and the old man Yuan followed closely. one time.

The two of them ignored the cursing, got up and ran towards the entrance of the alley.

Qiao Mai didn't chase after him, turned around and went back, opened the courtyard door and went to the kitchen.

A couple of veterans at the entrance of the alley, seeing that no one was catching up, immediately sat on the ground and patted their thighs and began to cry.

Some people know them and know that if they don't report to the police today, the old couple will not leave, and the trouble may be even worse. They don't talk about it, but they are even more upset when they hear it. They have an urge to go up and beat them up. Feel.

So Mayor Qian was invited over early in the morning.

As soon as he arrived with a few guards, the old couple didn't dare to cry anymore, and kept yelling that they were injured.

"Mayor, we were injured by Mrs. Qiao, please make the decision."

Mayor Qian gritted his teeth, "You are not at your own house so early in the morning, what are you doing here?"

"Are we looking for a son?"

"You really forget to eat but not to fight. Looking for a son? Who is your son?"

"The Yuan family is up?"

"If the mayor remembers correctly, under the witness of the mayor, you have already cut off your friendship."

"That's our son too."

Mayor Qian's face darkened, "If you don't want to be caught in the yamen, I'll count to five. If you don't leave, don't blame the mayor for being rude."

"Mayor, you can't do this."

"It's really shit that you don't understand. You want to continue to come here after breaking up a relationship. Your head was kicked by a donkey? Or did the strong wind blow your brain away? It is written in the law that once you sign the divorce document, that is You are like strangers, without that relationship, how dare you come here without shame?"

"It is written in the law that our blood relationship with him also exists."

Mayor Qian knew that he couldn't explain clearly to this kind of person, so he waved at the guard.

"Tie them up, throw them in the Yamen, explain the matter clearly, and let them sit in prison for a few days."

"Yes, my lord!"

As he spoke, the guard took off the rope from his waist, and was about to step forward to tie him up. When the two veterans saw him, they quickly got up from the ground and ran away in a hurry.

What hurt? It's completely trying to blackmail people, running faster than a rabbit, how can it look like an injured one?

When Mayor Qian saw the backs of the two old fellows, he yelled at the ground.

"Damn, all kinds of things have appeared, and Mrs. Qiao is also unlucky to meet such a damn thing."

The guard on the side smiled, "It's a good thing that Mrs. Qiao met a good official like you, my lord, otherwise, it would be enough for her to drink a pot."

"Yes, if it wasn't for you, my lord, it would be enough for me to drink a pot."

With a swipe, the courtyard door opened, and Mrs. Qiao came out with a smile.

Mayor Qian glared at her angrily, "It's all you, the mayor is sleeping soundly, so someone called me over to compensate!"

"Then I invite the mayor to have breakfast at home?"

The mayor pouted and shook his head, "I don't dare to enter your house, but it's fine if your husband-in-law is here."

"How about you wait here for a while, I'm done, how about you eat at the door?"

"No need, next time, when your husband comes back, you go home and invite the mayor of the town."

"That's fine, then I won't send you off"

"Hmph, you will have a good mouth"

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, shopkeeper Lu came. When she saw him, she grinned to the bottom of her mouth, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Hey, Mayor Qian has worked hard, came out early in the morning to uphold justice?"

"Hmph, you two sisters, one is worse than the other."

After finishing speaking, he glared at shopkeeper Lu and left with his guards. Shopkeeper Lu looked at his back and made a childish grimace.

"Sister Lu, why are you here?"

"It's not busy, just come here."

"It just so happened that two pieces of embroidery work came out, so you can sell them."

"Oh, that's great, people have been asking me a lot these days."

Qiao Mai took her hand into the courtyard, and blocked the courtyard door with his backhand.

Before entering the house, a square table was set up in the courtyard, and shopkeeper Lu sat on the bench on the table.

"Where's Linger?"

"You're still asleep in the room, haven't you had breakfast?"

"Nope."

"Wait, I'll cook something delicious for you."

Shopkeeper Lu swallowed her saliva, and when she saw the two bowls of snail powder, her face darkened, and she pinched her nose and pointed at the powder.

"It smells so bad, can it be eaten?"

"Eat as soon as I let you eat, it's delicious"

Qiao Mai didn't care about her, anyway, he was hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing how delicious her food was, Lu Sanniang also started to eat it. Once she caught her mouth, she realized how delicious it was.

"tasty"

The two of them finished a big bowl each, and then wiped their mouths.

Qiao Mai went back to the house and brought her two small embroidery pieces and one large embroidery piece for her.

"It will be May and June when the embroidery will be released again."

"Hey, it's fine, it doesn't matter how many months, as long as you don't seal the embroidery."

"You don't just come here to do embroidery work, do you?"

"Tell you,"

Shopkeeper Lu approached her ear mysteriously and said, "My Ruxin's marriage is booked."

"Oh? Which one did you order?" Qiao Mai was also happy for his apprentice.

"County city, the second son of the Feng family."

"Have you heard clearly?"

"It's clear, that house is the same as mine. It's a merchant, neither big nor small. It's well-established, right?"

"I heard you said just now that the second son is a concubine, and there are still concubines in that family?"

Talking about this Lu Sanniang was also a little embarrassed, "Yeah, I'm not satisfied except for this point, everything else is pretty good."

"The water in the back house of a concubine's house is black"

"I know that too, but that kid is really good. He was taught very well by Mrs. Feng Liu. It's a pity to miss it."

"Have you seen Xin'er?"

"See, she is willing too."

"Okay, as long as she is willing, nothing else matters."

"I think so too, and after that child knew about his father doting on his concubine and destroying his wife, he swore from an early age that he would never take a concubine in the future."

"I hope the oath is true."

"Anyway, it looks good now."

"Have you booked yet?"

"On the sixth day of March, come to propose marriage. Will you come over then?"
