When Qiao Mian returned to the backyard, Tang Qing hesitated to speak, and dared not ask any questions he wanted to ask.

Qiao Mian glanced at Aunt Li who was busy in the room, and handed the invitation in her cuff to Tang Qing.

Tang Qing took it in a daze, opened it and saw the words on it, and his eyes turned red.

Qiao Mian knew that he had the same thoughts as her just now, so she quickly persuaded him in a low voice, and repeated Lin Zhongxin's words to Tang Qing, automatically omitting the man's ill intentions towards Qiao Mian.

Tang Qing casually wiped away the tears that were falling down, sniffed and wondered, "But how could that Lin Zhongxin be so kind, and brought his servants to humiliate me a few days ago, why did he change so quickly and wanted to help us?" ?”

Qiao Mian moved her lips, but she still swallowed those disgusting words, and said, "We'll talk about this later, the most urgent thing right now is that you have to meet Song Boze as soon as possible."

Tang Qinghong looked at him seriously, "Qiao Mian, to be honest, did you agree to Lin Zhongshen's conditions?"

"Don't think too much, no."

Qiao Mian's face was clear and cold, but his hands behind his back were clenched tightly. Whenever he thought of Lin Zhongxin's revealing eyes, he felt sick, and he knew in his heart that he would not be able to be alone with that person in the future.

After finding out that the white tiger had really left, Qiao Mian and Zong Zong moved their family to the town. A small house about the size of Yaoshui Village was just big enough for their father and son to live in.

So after work every day, Aunt Li, Tang Qing and the others went home in the carriage that Qiao Mian had hired for them.

on the carriage.

Brother Nan still touched the purse fondly, "Qiao Fulang is so generous, he gave us three coins! And this purse, it looks like a lotus bud from Yuqiaosi family. Hey, a purse is worth more than ten dollars." Wen!"

You must know that the wages of the clerks in big shops like Yuchunlou and Fengxiang Bank are only three renminbi, and most of the small shops are half a renminbi, and the slightly better ones can be worth one renminbi.And they only made three renminbi in Shanmian Beverage in one month, that is, three hundred copper coins, which is more than half more than others. This is a great thing, enough to see how old Qiao Mian is square!

He looked at his enemy from childhood to adulthood again, and deliberately dangled his purse in front of Tang Qing, "What kind of pattern is yours, do you look as good as mine?"

Tang Qing had been thinking about things for a while, so he took out the purse that Qiao Mian gave him, and said lightly, "It's the green willow pattern."

Brother Nan was satisfied, stuck out his tongue and smiled triumphantly, "Hey, it's not as good-looking as mine." So he happily discussed with Sister Mei about the texture of her purse.

On the other hand, Da Jun's eyes were fixed the moment Tang Qing took out his purse. It wasn't until Tang Qing looked at him suspiciously that Da Jun quickly showed an honest smile.

When the army returned home, sons and girls who looked like carrot heads hurriedly surrounded him and asked him for something delicious.

Whenever there were jelly drinks or good lunch dishes left in Shanmian drinks, Qiao Mian never hesitated to let the guys take them home to eat. In this way, the army basically did not have any meat smell at home during the month of work.

Da Jun handed the oiled paper bag to Aunt Sun, "Mother, this is the braised pig's trotters from shopkeeper Qiao. You can eat it after warming it up."

The two children jumped up and down and cheered, "Eat pig's trotters! Eat pig's trotters!"

Aunt Sun smiled wrinkledly, and took her two grandchildren into the house, "Okay, let's eat pig's trotters."

Mrs. Sun Wang, who was washing clothes at the side, saw that the army had returned, and hurriedly wiped his hands full of water with a cloth to greet him, and said anxiously, "Husband, you are back. By the way, have you paid your wages?"

There was no joy of making money on Dajun's face, and he sighed and said, "Open." He took out the purse from his cuff and handed it to Sun Wang. Sun Wang's eyes lit up when he saw the exquisite silver purse, and he opened it. Hearing the rattling sound inside the purse, he laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, "It only takes so much copper coins in one month! This, Qiao Fulang is really generous!"

Da Jun sat on the stone bench in the courtyard without speaking, but took a couple of sips of the bitter tea from the side and put it down again.

Mrs. Sun saw the abnormality of the army, and walked over with her purse tightly, "husband, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

Dajun shook his head, but still didn't speak.

But Mrs. Sun is impatient. Seeing the always simple and honest Dajun like this, she felt anxious and angry, so she immediately called out Aunt Sun who was cooking hot dishes in the kitchen.

Aunt Sun heard the sound, and asked Da Jun several times. Seeing that Da Jun didn't say anything like a saw-mouthed gourd, she became even more angry, and shouted, "What's wrong with you? Tell your mother quickly, if you don't say anything , I'll ask that Qiao Mian tomorrow why he bullied you!"

When Dajun heard this, he was anxious, "Mother, daughter-in-law, don't talk nonsense, no one bullies me!"

"Then what's wrong with you!"

Dajun opened his mouth, sighed again, and pounded his fist on his leg, "I'm so angry that I'm useless!"

Sun Wang and Aunt Sun looked at each other, still confused.

Da Jun bowed his head and said, "Today, Qiao Fulang gave everyone wages. Originally, I was very happy to see the three coins in my hand, but, but when I bumped into Qiao Fulang giving Tang Qing and Aunt Li more, I felt that I'm really useless, I feel aggrieved when I'm a big man but can't earn a brother, I also want Qiao Fulang to give me more work, but, I don't know how to say it."

Aunt Sun knew what her son was thinking, and she said with a pale face, "How much did Qiao Mian give Tang Qing and Aunt Li?"

Da Jun recalled Tang Qing's purse that flashed by on the carriage, and said tightly, "I saw that purse was bulging, and it probably has more than 20 taels of silver!"

"How much!" Sun Wang was stunned and exclaimed, "20 taels! They earned 20 taels a month!"

She looked at the three hundred Wen copper plate in her hand again, and it suddenly became as light as a cow's hair. She said angrily, "Why! Dajun, you are his clerk and you are running errands under the sun, what is that Tang Qing doing?" Is it? Isn’t it just standing at the counter for a while, or peeling the fruit in the backyard? And Aunt Li, even if she helps make things in the back kitchen, isn’t her daughter just showing the child to Qiao Mian? Watching children can also make money, so I will go tomorrow too, I don’t want 20 taels, just one tael is enough!”

Dajun was most afraid of Mrs. Sun playing a shrew, so he hurriedly persuaded him, "Don't make trouble for me. It's not like you don't know how good Qiao Fulang is to us guys. Someday he won't bring back any meat and fruit for you to eat." , I’m just complaining to you, if you want to make a fuss, can I still work in Shanmian Beverage?”

Aunt Sun said with a serious face, "Okay, I'll go to Qiao Mian's place tomorrow, don't worry, I will not make trouble for you!"

Da Jun wanted to say something more, but Aunt Sun said to Sun Wang, "Go and see if the water in the pot is boiling."

Sun Wang bit her lip and reluctantly responded.

When Mrs. Sun left, Aunt Sun beat Da Jun's head hard, and Da Jun let out a low cry of pain.Aunt Sun scolded in a low voice, "You useless thing, you haven't learned how to use two hands in that shop for so many days?"

Dajun shook his head with a bitter face, "It's all delicate work, how can I learn it well?"

"Do you know how the jelly is made? I heard rumors that it is pigskin and some herbal medicine. What is it?"

Da Jun whispered, "I don't know either. I heard from you and went to the backyard to look around. Except for fruits, icing, and preserved fruits, there is nothing there."

"What about the process of doing it? Did you see it clearly?"

Da Jun scratched his head and said distressedly, "Mother, this Qiao Fulang is really good to us, let's stop doing such unconscionable things. Besides, I am busy every day, where can I see how he makes drinks? !"

Aunt Sun rolled her eyes at him, and tapped his forehead viciously, "I should have gone if I had known, you are a brainless person who can do hard work, no wonder they sent you away with three renminbi!"

Hearing what his mother said, Da Jun was completely depressed.

Early the next morning, Aunt Li and the others went to town in a carriage, and saw that there was another person on the carriage.

It was Mrs. Sun.

Aunt Li beckoned her to sit inside, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Sun, are you going to the market?"

Aunt Sun smiled, "Yes, let's stop by to see Qiao Mian's shop. I heard that his shop is very popular in the village. If you want to have a drink, you have to queue up. I just took time to visit him today."

"Yo." Aunt Li thought of something and said, "If you want to go, you have to go with us now, you can't go to the market first, I heard him say yesterday that when we come this morning, he seems to be going to Zhenbei Look at the shop."

Aunt Sun's complexion changed slightly, and she said in a strange manner, "Qiao Mian's business seems to have really grown, and it takes so long to buy another shop? Then what about his herbal tea shop? Who will help him manage it?"

Aunt Li heard something strange, and took a good look at Aunt Sun, her smile restrained, "This is his shop, he has the final say, I don't know what this kid thinks."

"How can you not know what he's thinking?" Aunt Sun looked at her in disbelief, with a smile on her face, but her words were sour, "Qiao Mian told me that day that he greeted you If you are married, then if he doesn't give you this shop, why not return it to an outsider?" He said, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at Tang Qing next to him.

This sowing of dissension should not be too obvious.

Brother Nan couldn't bear to listen there anymore, looked expectantly at Tang Qing, who had a particularly bad mouth, and muttered in a low voice, "Tang Qing, this Aunt Sun is more provocative than me before, why don't you choke her now?" ?”

Tang Qing glanced at Aunt Sun who was still discussing who Qiao Mian's shop was for, but she had no interest in cursing, but turned her head and continued to think about her own affairs.

What troubled him from yesterday until now was that he always felt that Qiao Mian had agreed to something to that Lin Zhongxin for that invitation.

Could it be that the villain Lin Zhongxin took a fancy to the signboard of Shanmian Drink?Or coerce and lure Qiao Mian to give him the jelly recipe?

No, he must ask about this!

But when they got to the shop, they didn't have time to be alone with Qiao Mian. They had to be busy washing fruits and making things, and Qiao Mian was taken to the side by the very enthusiastic Aunt Sun.

in the shop.

Qiao Mian withdrew her hand in embarrassment, and hurriedly greeted Dajun who was standing beside her, "Dajun, ask the backyard to make some cool drinks for Aunt Sun."

Da Jun glanced nervously at his mother, and muffled yes.

Aunt Sun looked at the shop and couldn't stop talking about it, and she smiled and flattered Qiao Mian, "I said earlier that you have a clever mind, look at how elegant this shop is. You haven't been back to the village for a month. I don't know. Now you are well-known in our Yaoshui. They say that you are a natural businessman. Everyone came to ask Dajun whether the shopkeeper Qiao still needs someone and whether the shopkeeper Qiao treats you well. Our army is stupid, but they can speak a good word!"

These days, Qiao Mian was used to hearing flattery from occasional people in the village, and she was already immune to Aunt Sun's talk.

He smiled subtly and said, "The army is hard-working and quick at work, and he is also a good hand of my mountain cotton drink."

"Oh, isn't he just an errand guy, he can have great promise if he is stupid with his hands and brain." Aunt Sun waved her hand pretending to be disgusted, "It is incomparable to Tang Qing and you, Aunt Li, and the money he makes no."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Mian was sensitive to what was happening, but she just smiled, "Tang Qing and Aunt Li's work is different from that of the army, and the wages are naturally different." Then he said jokingly, "Could it be possible? Aunt Sun, do you think I gave Dajun three silver coins too little?"

Aunt Sun didn't expect Qiao Mian to be so straightforward, she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

Qiao Mian said, "I can't open this shop without Tang Qing. Not only did he run up and down for me, he was busy, but he also saved my life and Zong Zong's life. Everyone said that the grace of dripping water is worthy of me." Yongquan repays, let alone this life-saving grace? Besides, Aunt Li, she is my god-in-law, and the money I give her is not a salary, I should honor her."

"Oh, that's not what I mean." Aunt Sun's face turned red and white after being robbed by Qiao Mian. "Auntie knows that you value love and righteousness, otherwise you wouldn't be able to treat Dajun so well, would you?"

"I still have something to do. Sit down slowly, ma'am." Qiao Mian stood up and said with a faint smile, "I see that the village is about to harvest wheat at this time of year, right? If the family is too busy, you can call the army back to help help you."

Aunt Sun's face turned pale. The family only has a few acres of wheat, so it can't be harvested?

This Qiao Mian is telling her to meddle in her own business!

Aunt Sun repeatedly said, "Come here if you are busy, come here if you are busy, you don't need a large army! Just stay and help you."

When Mrs. Sun returned home, Mrs. Sun Wang rushed to meet her and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what did Qiao Mian say?"

Aunt Sun said bitterly, "He's still talking to me, which means that if he meddles in his own business, he will let the army come back to farm!"

When Sun Wang heard this, he said anxiously, "I can't help it, mother, here, how much money can we get from farming for a month, we must not let the army come back."

Aunt Sun said angrily again, "This man really won't turn his back on someone if he has some money. I can help him no less than Li Zhang! No, this matter is endless! Why let Li Zhang take all the benefits!"

Sun Wang also fanned the flames.

The two of them were fussy and greedy, and they had long forgotten the little sesame-sized help they had done, and Qiao Mian had already repaid them several times the benefits.
