Food for the people

Qiao Yu stared at the bronze mirror in a daze for a long time, the shop owner finally got impatient, put away the smile on his face and asked: "Young Master, have you seen it? But have you decided what clothes to buy?"

Qiao Yu suddenly came back to his senses, smiled at the boss, and said, "Think about it, but I still can't make up my mind, I have to go back and ask my father... Mom and Dad, I will come to see it with them after noon Let's see."

The boss was not very happy for a moment, but after listening to Qiao Yu's words, he couldn't offend people completely, so he could only forcefully smile and said, "Okay, if you are interested, my lord, please come and make a decision earlier. Although my shop It's a bit small, but it's not bad to close the business in recent years, if the young master is two days late, maybe the style you like may be gone."

Qiao Yun nodded for a while, and led Qiao Ling away.

The shop owner couldn't tell if Qiao Yu's words were deceiving, and although he was not very happy, he still respectfully sent him away without daring to get angry.

Qiao Yu solved the serious problem in his heart, but he felt that there was nothing to do shopping. Anyway, he couldn't afford it after shopping, so he might as well go home.

Along the way, Qiao Yu didn't speak any more, and silently followed Qiao Ling back with her things in her hands. Qiao Ling looked back at him several times but he didn't notice.

It wasn't until the two of them arrived home and put down their things that he let out a long sigh.

Qiao Ling stood in front of him with his head down, hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you not like the way your brother looks?"

After coming out of the garment shop, Qiao Yu didn't say a word again, she seemed to be wandering away, and thought of Qiao Yu's expression after looking in the mirror just now, it's no wonder that Qiao Ling was thinking about it.

Qiao Yu waved his hand: "There is one thing, I'm just not used to it, it's not like I don't like it."

Qiao Ling still lowered her head: "My father said that I look like him, and my brother looks like my mother. My mother is very good-looking."

Qiao Yu thought, it's because I look like your mother and your mother is good-looking that I'm bothered.

But he said in his mouth: "I really don't like it, but it's a bit different from my previous appearance, so I'm not used to it, it will be fine in two days, don't think about it too much."

Qiao Yu didn't tell Qiao Ling about the resurrection of the dead body, and Qiao Ling never asked too much, but it could be seen that Qiao Ling was not completely uncurious, and Qiao Yu didn't talk about it because he didn't know how to say it. To his former appearance, it is inevitable to pull out a completely different era from the present.

It's too difficult to describe, it's better not to say it.

Just as the two put down their things and took a breath, there was a rapid knock on the door from the yard outside.

Qiao Yu poked her face out from the door, "Who?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the door, saying, "Is this Mr. Sheng? I'm Zhao Rong."

Qiao Yu turned to look at Qiao Ling, opened his mouth and asked silently, "Who is this?"

Qiao Ling put down the rough porcelain cup in his hand, and said to Qiao Yu, "Guan Zhao."

Qiao Yu let out a long sigh, and responded to the door: "Here we come."

Then he straightened his clothes and got up to open the door.

Qiao Ling followed behind him, slowly moving towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged man in a black cloth jacket stood at the door, holding a lot of things in both hands. Seeing a flash of surprise in Qiao Yu's eyes, he said happily, "Oh, Mr. Sheng looks very good!"

Qiao Yu smiled and invited people in.

"Thanks to Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Rong looked back at Qiao Yu while walking in, and said with some emotion: "It's fine, it's fine, as long as the body is healthy, everything will be fine."

Then he greeted Qiao Ling again.

"Mr. Ling looks much more energetic. Look, I told you earlier that your brother will recover, but you still don't believe me."

Qiao Ling didn't speak, because no one except him and Qiao Yu knew that Qiao Sheng was already dead.

Seeing Qiao Ling's gloomy expression, Qiao Yu stretched out his hand to rub his head, and said, "I know you love my brother, it's okay, it will get better."

Qiao Ling heard the consolation in Qiao Yu's words, forced him to smile, and went to the kitchen to fetch water.

Zhao Rong hurriedly said behind Qiao Ling: "Young Master Ling, this water will be saved. I'm just following the master's words. Come here to have a look. The master said that there will be many things after this year, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come by then, so let me bring something. Come to wish the two young masters an early year, I will put the things here, there are a lot of things in the shop recently, so I will go back first."

As he said that, he took out a small pouch from his pocket and put it on the table, and Fu Fu turned to Qiao Yu and wanted to leave.

Qiao Ling ran over from the kitchen and stopped him with his hand.

"Guard Zhao, please thank Uncle Zhao for his kindness for me, this thing... you can take it back, we can't accept it."

Zhao Rong seemed to have known that he would say this a long time ago, waved his hands and said: "This is not possible, this is what the master ordered, I will bring it if I am asked, and if I let him know again, I will take it back , isn’t it pointing to the master to say that I am not good at things, I dare not.”

Qiao Ling's face turned red, and he stopped Zhao Rong from leaving.

"Guan Zhao, take it back, we really don't want it."

Zhao Rong actually knew in his heart what happened to Qiao Ling not wanting anything from the Zhao family, but the first was that Zhao Deshen had ordered it first, and the second was that he always felt that there was no need for people to make things difficult for him, a good rich man, It is unbearable to replace the downcast with others.Not only can it be unbearable psychologically, but few can bear the cost of food and clothing.

The two brothers of the Qiao family have a lot of backbone, except for Qiao Sheng who is seriously ill, they stick to their breath and never beg anyone.

But if you don't ask for help, you don't ask for help. If you don't want the things that come to your door, it will seem a little silly.

It's true that the mistress of Zhao's family is a fierce and difficult person, but it's just a few words of abuse, and she can't lose weight. Whatever he does, look at this yard and this house, can people still live on face?

The two pushed and shoved for a while, one refused to stay, the other refused to take it away, no one could persuade the other, Qiao Ling became anxious, turned to look at Qiao Yu, and said, "Brother, talk quickly."

Qiao Yu thought for a while, walked up to Zhao Rong, and said, "Well, I'll find a compromise, Ling'er, go get a pen and paper."

Qiao Ling didn't know what he meant, but out of trust in Qiao Yu, he still went to get the paper and pen.

As soon as Qiao Yu saw the rice paper brush he brought, it was very big. It was something left by Qiao Sheng. Set aside.

Now Qiao Yu still doesn't know how to do it. She is afraid that just holding a pen will reveal her identity, so she can only wink at Qiao Ling quietly.

Qiao Ling understood, spread out the rice paper, held the brush in his hand, and waited for Qiao Yu to speak.

Qiao Yu walked to the table, opened Zhao Rong's pouch on the table, poured out ten small and exquisite silver ingots inside, and said without looking back: "Ling'er, I say you write it. The IOU, today's loan To Zhao Deshen, Uncle Zhao’s tattoo was 15 taels of silver, and within half a year, he will return [-] taels with interest, and the borrower is Qiao Sheng.”

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, she turned her head and found that the two of them stood and sat staring at him in a daze.

Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Ling, "Let's write, don't stand still."

Qiao Ling was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and began to write.

Then he got up again and found a printing pad from nowhere. Before Qiao Yu could speak, he stretched out his thumb to press in the printing pad and then pressed it on the writing pad.

"Hey, don't..."

Qiao Yu didn't have time to stop it, so she went up to see that her handprint had already been printed, and in the end, only Qiao Ling's name was written on the borrower's place.

Qiao Yu's face darkened, "Write my name on the back."

Seeing Qiao Yu's ugly face, Qiao Ling didn't dare to say more, and honestly wrote Qiao Yu's name on it.

Qiao Yu also pressed a fingerprint, and then handed the written document to Zhao Rong who was completely stunned.

"Guard Zhao, we'll accept the things. Thank you Uncle Zhao for his kindness, but please take this back and give it to him as well."

Zhao Rong was a little embarrassed: "Well, the master said it was for the two young masters, and there is no need for the young masters to return it, so naturally there is no need to make any paperwork."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu put the silver ingot into her purse again and handed it to Zhao Rong. "In this case, Manager Zhao should take the things back."

Zhao Rong didn't go the same way, took the paper, put it in his arms, sighed and said, "All right, I'll take the paper to the master, it's not that I rely on the old to sell the old, to put it bluntly, the two young ladies Young Master, why bother? The master and Master Qiao have a lifelong friendship. Master Qiao is gone, and the master wants to take care of you for him. You just keep it. Why bother what others say? Don’t you still have the master’s backing? Why bother with yourself? make life difficult for."

He must still feel that it is superfluous for the two of them to establish this evidence. You must know that Zhao Deshen was supported by Qiao's father before his fortune. Said.

Qiao Yu smiled and didn't answer his words, just said: "Then trouble Manager Zhao."

Zhao Rong waved his hand, "It's just a trip, if there is any trouble, then I will leave first, so as not to wait for the master to look for it later."

The two brothers sent him away respectfully, and after watching Zhao Rong's figure turn away, they came back and closed the courtyard door.

Qiao Ling walked in front alone with his head down, and didn't talk to Qiao Yu. That way, he could tell he was thinking carefully.

Qiao Yu stretched out his hand to stop him, and asked, "Xiaoling, tell me, do you really don't want the money, or are you afraid that Aunt Zhao's family will say something nasty again? If it's the latter, don't be afraid of me. If It’s the former, I’ll send the money back now and ask for the receipt.”

Qiao Ling turned her head abruptly, her eyes were already red.

"When Zhao's aunt came here last time, my elder brother was already too sick to get up, so he was lying on the bed, and she heard her scolding him for being a bastard, saying that my elder brother killed my parents and told us to stay away from their house Yes, so as not to bring any harm to their family..."

As Qiao Ling spoke, he was so choked up that he couldn't speak, he just wiped his eyes with his hands, not letting Qiao Yu see him cry.

The veins in Qiao Yu's temples were throbbing when he heard this, and he wished he could grab that woman and beat him up right now, and seeing Qiao Ling crying very sadly, he hugged him with some distress.

"Listen to me first, in your heart, is your brother a bastard?"

Before Qiao Yu could finish speaking, Qiao Ling blurted out: "Of course not, my brother... is the best brother in the world."

"That's right. She said your brother is a bastard. Is your brother really a bastard? Did she really lose when she said that the Qiao family lost? I don't, not only undefeated, but also better than before. Even more powerful, and then go to her and say, you dog sees people as inferior, but I am not as good as you."

Qiao Ling was amused by his description and stopped crying.

Qiao Yu eased his expression, and continued: "I know, you don't want to have anything to do with the Zhao family anymore, but Uncle Zhao still loves you, and wants to help take care of you behind the back of Aunt Zhao's family. If you don’t want to report, just cheer up and have a good future in the future, so it’s not in vain for him to waste all these thoughts.”

"As for the money, don't think too much about it. If you don't want it, I'll give it back to him. Let's find another way. Trees are dead and people are alive. It can always be solved."

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he wiped away his tears, Qiao Ling laughed, his dark eyes were very beautiful.

"I figured it out. If I don't pay it back, I've written the IOU anyway. If we borrow it, I will use her money to make more money, and then I will piss her off."

Qiao Yu hummed with a childish expression on her face, took Qiao Ling's hand and entered the room.
