Joe's Farming

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng lived far away from each other, and Gu Feng had been hunting in the nearby mountains for the past six months, so there were no dangerous wild animals around. Therefore, except for closing the doors at night and during naps, the doors in the yard were all open.

Suddenly a group of people rushed in, frightening Qiao Yu and she quickly protected the two children behind her.

Tian Guihua put her hands on her hips, with Qiao Laosan and Tian Cuihua standing next to her, and her son and daughter following behind her.

Tian Guihua: "You are such an ungrateful bastard! You have become so powerful after marrying a man. You should go back to your parents' home today. Why don't you go back?!"

Qiao Yu laughed angrily, and comforted the two children before replying coldly: "Mother...home? You are worthy!"

Tian Guihua was so angry that she fell backwards. She pinched Qiao Laosan with her hand and told him to speak.

Qiao Lao San: "Qiao brother, your last name is Qiao after all, so you should return home on the third day after getting married. Why are you secretly eating and drinking with your husband? The family is barely making ends meet, and you don't even think about helping out."

Qiao Yu: "What a joke! Who told everyone in the village that I was sold to a hunter? You got the money, but the person who was sold has to support you? It's ridiculous. I was sold to you for five taels of silver. Now get out of my house."

The more Qiao Yu thought about it, the angrier he got for the original owner. How dare this blood-sucking family do this? They have such shameless faces that they can stand on the city wall for thousands of years.

Qiao Laosan and Tian Guihua had never expected that Qiao Yu had only been married for three days, and her personality had changed so much. She was so angry that she could not hold back the words she had prepared.

At this time, Tian Guihua’s eldest son, Qiao Dabao, said, "Mom, what’s that smell? It smells so good." He swallowed his saliva as he spoke.

Tian Guihua smelled it as soon as she entered the yard. Just after lunch today, her sister came home and said that Qiao Yu went to the town to buy meat, chickens and ducks.

She was so angry that she quickly urged Qiao Laosan to come over. Why should her nominal stepson eat meat at home while she and Qiao Laosan only had two meals of steamed buns a day at home?

Tian Guihua changed her expression and said, "Brother Qiao, if you don't want to come back, then don't come back, but you still have to give gifts. Your brother and sister haven't eaten meat for a long time. The rules for this visit are that at least one piece of meat and ten eggs are indispensable."

Qiao Yu also realized at this moment that this stepmother was simply stupid and evil. He rolled up his sleeves and went directly to the shack to pick up the broom for sweeping the yard. The broom head said to the group of people: "Stop talking nonsense! Are you going to get out or not?!"

Tian Guihua yelled, "Qiao Lao San, are you a dead man? Your son has attacked you, his biological father, and you still don't punish him!?"

Qiao Lao San actually didn't beat or scold Qiao Yu, because Qiao Yu's mother was indeed a gentle and virtuous woman, but his mother passed away early, and he didn't like his brother, so he let Tian Cuihua abuse Qiao Yu. But now seeing Qiao Yu holding a broom towards him, he felt that his dignity was challenged, so he reached out to grab the broom from Qiao Yu's hand.

Qiao Yu is already weak, and Qiao Laosan is less than 40 years old. He doesn’t do much work, but he is a man after all.

He snatched the broom away in a few seconds. Qiao Yu looked at his hands awkwardly, not knowing what weapon to pick up next, when he saw Gu Xiaoyan rushing up from behind.

Gu Xiaoyan rushed forward and hugged Qiao Laosan's legs: "Don't bully my mother! You bad guy!"

Gu Xiaoxue also stood in front of Qiao Yu, opened her arms and cried, "You bad guys, don't bully my mother in my house!"

Qiao Laosan moved his legs but failed to shake off, so Qiao Yu rushed over and hugged Gu Xiaoyan.

Qiao Yu: "Be good, Yanbao, let go, I'm fine, don't be afraid."

Gu Xiaoyan then let go and hugged Qiao Yu's neck with both hands, her nose twitching and tears streaming down her face. Qiao Yu was heartbroken, holding the child and holding Gu Xiaoxue's hand again.

Qiao Yu's face was dark. "You were the ones who insisted on selling me. I didn't agree. You, Tian Guihua, do know what you did. My head injury hasn't healed yet. Homecoming gift? Did you give a penny for the dowry? The wedding clothes were given to you by Gu Feng in advance! What? Can't bear to see me live a good life? I tell you, my life will only get better and better in the future! But it has nothing to do with your money. If you dare to rob me today, I will go to the government tomorrow to sue you for forcing me to sell my son and trespassing!"

Tian Guihua put one hand on her waist and pointed at Qiao Yu's nose with the other hand, saying in a sharp voice: "Sue the officials? What are you suing for? Are you suing for being unfilial? Don't think we don't understand. Qiao Lao San is your biological father, you have to be filial to him!"

At this time, I saw a group of people looking for Aunt Shi from the Gu family, and Wang Dali and her two sons rushed over. Before entering the yard, I saw two children crying, Qiao Lao San holding a broom in his hand, and Qiao Yu's stepmother was pointing at Qiao Yu's nose and scolding him.

Wang Dali snatched the broom in an instant, and then stood beside Qiao Yu with his wife and son.

Aunt Shi: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Tian Guihua rolled her eyes at Aunt Shi and said, "Selling tofu, what does that have to do with you? Why are you meddling in other people's business? This is our family affair."

Aunt Shi was not a pushover either: "Who caught someone a few days ago and said that Brother Qiao had been sold to Hunter Gu and would have nothing to do with the Qiao family in the future? Why? You only received five taels of silver, but you have no money to eat. Are you here to beg for money from the Gu family?"

Tian Guihua was so angry that her face turned pale. How could she know that Qiao Yu had changed her personality now? She used to be timid and submissive. The only time she resisted was about the marriage. She hit him with a stick and he fainted. The next day, Gu Feng came to make trouble again. They were afraid that Qiao Yu would die, so Gu Feng wanted to return the money and said that the money and goods were paid for.

Who knew Qiao Yu was doing well now, well dressed and well fed. The five taels of silver were borrowed by his younger brother Tian Youliang not long after he received them, saying that he could return ten taels by the New Year.

Aunt Shi continued to curse: "It's only been a short time since the autumn harvest, and there's no food left at home? You want to beat up Brother Qiao, bah! You are shameless! You are not the kind of parents you are."

Qiao Laosan's face turned pale and red when he was told this. Tian Cuihua, who had been silent all the time, also buried her head tightly. She was not married yet and could not afford to offend someone as eloquent as Aunt Shi.

Wang Dali: "Okay, Qiao Laosan, you should also pay more attention to your wife. Everyone knows that the youngest son of the Tian family is a gangster. Your family's life is just average, but I don't know what he does in town and eats out all day long." Wang Dali stopped there and said no more.

Qiao Laosan glanced at Tian Guihua, whose eyes were flickering, and then at Qiao Yu, who was indifferent, and turned away thoughtfully. Tian Guihua saw that her husband had left, and she could not get any advantage, so she could only follow him.

As the group of people gradually walked away, Tian Guihua's scolding could still be vaguely heard: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat. Next time, ask your uncle to buy you a big chicken leg, which is better than what this ungrateful bastard eats." She deliberately raised her voice in the second half of the sentence.

Everyone in the courtyard was speechless when they heard this. Qiao Yu coaxed the two children and asked Aunt Shi and her family to wait in the courtyard. Since they were just here, there was no need to send the braised meat over specially.

He cut a large bowl of braised food and brought it to Aunt Shi in the yard.

Qiao Yu: "Aunt, I made some new food today, called stewed food. You can take it home and have it as a side dish for dinner."

When Aunt Shi and her family entered the yard, they could already smell a strong aroma. Now that a large bowl of rice was served, it was even more fragrant.

Aunt Shi waved her hands quickly, "Qiao, no, no, you keep it for yourself. I saw that group of people coming and was afraid that they had bad intentions. You see, we almost came too late. You and the child have been wronged. Gu will be heartbroken when he comes back."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Aunt, I still have a lot in the pot. I'm letting you taste it on condition that you tell me if it tastes good after you eat it. I plan to sell it in town."

When Aunt Shi heard this, she stopped refusing and asked her son to hold the bowl and return it to her son.
