Joe's Farming

Qiao Yu maintained his expression and looked at Wen Ge'er.

Wen Ge'er looked like he had seen a lot. Qiao Yu instantly felt great sympathy for Wen Ge'er and his mother. Living with such a person for so many years, she didn't know how miserable it must be.

Old Mrs. Li was still howling, and she was trying to speak confidently, but she was repeating the same old things over and over again.

Qiao Yu had no interest in listening anymore and simply ignored her and went to see how Wen Ge'er's leg was.

When everyone saw that Old Lady Li was the only one left cursing, they felt that something was not enough. However, Li Xiuniang and Qiao Ge'er ignored Old Lady Li, so a few older people started to persuade her.

When Old Mrs. Li saw someone talking to her, she cried even harder.

Li Xiuniang was already immune to Old Lady Li's insults, but Wen Ge'er felt very uncomfortable after hearing them. Seeing Qiao Yu coming over, he said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for causing trouble for you."

Qiao Yu went over and helped him up: "Hey, we are brothers, why are you saying these things? And if anyone should say sorry, it should be her, not you. How is your foot?"

Brother Wen tapped the ground with his foot and said, "It's much better now, but I don't dare to use too much strength. It still hurts a little bit."

Qiao Yu nodded: "I hope you get better soon. I can't handle it all by myself. My kids are helping me with the work."

Wen Ge'er looked at Li Xiuniang and his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, Mom, I'm going in to talk to Qiao Ge'er. Yan'er has already gone to look for daddy, so she should be here soon."

Qiao Yu also said: "I also asked them to call the village chief and Brother Gu, don't worry, auntie."

The two nodded, and Qiao Yu helped Qiao Yu into the room where he had slept these days. The others waited in the yard for people to come. They must not let Old Lady Li come in vain today.

Qiao Yu helped Wen Ge'er into the room where he had slept the past few days, and the two sat on the edge of the bed together.

"you……"

"you……"

As soon as they sat down, they said in unison.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "You speak first."

Brother Wen blushed and said, "Wang Jie came to propose yesterday. I want to agree."

Qiao Yu: "That's great! Congratulations."

Wen Ge'er: "But my mother and father are in this situation now. I want to wait until their affairs are settled before I agree."

Qiao Yu gently patted the back of Wen Ge'er's hand and said, "Yeah, I agree. Doesn't your grandma know yet? If she knew, she would have scolded you too."

Brother Wen nodded: "I'll ask the Wang family to wait a little longer. I...my father doesn't know yet. I think my mother and father will agree, so I'll get married."

Qiao Yu: "Well, what does Wang Jie say?"

Brother Wen's face turned even redder. "He...he agreed. He also told me that he came to my grandfather's house to propose marriage because he was anxious. No one in the village has ever gone to my grandfather's house to propose marriage. He was afraid that it would be bad for my reputation, so he called a matchmaker from the next village and asked them to keep it a secret."

When Qiao Yu heard this, he thought this boy was very thoughtful. He couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk tsk, I didn't realize that. This boy is quite thoughtful."

Wen Geer smiled and said, "I didn't expect that. He is usually carefree. I didn't agree to him before, so I thought he would ignore me."

Qiao Yu remembered that he had contributed a lot to Wen Ge'er's rejection of him before, and felt a little guilty: "Hahaha, now it's all right, once the issues with your parents and your grandma are resolved, we can just sit back and wait for your wedding!"

Qiao Yu remembered the purpose of coming today and said, "Did you use the soap I gave you?"

Wen Ge'er: "Yes! My mother and my aunt said it's good and asked me where I bought it."

Qiao Yu nodded: "I plan to let you run the stewed food stall in the future, and I will concentrate on making soap at home. The profit of soap is much higher than that of stewed food. The point is that we have to make stewed food every day, and customers have to eat it immediately after buying it, otherwise it will go bad and it is not convenient to carry. But soap is different, I can also wholesale it to others, that is, sell a lot to one person at a slightly lower price, and then that person will sell it exclusively to others."

When Wen Ge'er heard that he could make money, his eyes lit up: "Then can I sell some in bulk?"

Qiao Yu: "Of course, but you have to help me sell the stewed food. For now, buying stewed food is more profitable than wholesale soap."

Wen Ge'er said shyly: "I just want my aunt and Wang Jie to make some money."

Qiao Yu laughed and said, "You are really too partial to that boy Wang Jie. You're thinking about how to make your husband earn money before he even gets married. But speaking of your aunt, can you let her take over your job until your foot gets better? I'm almost dying of exhaustion when you're not around. And my pile of hawthorns are going stale." Qiao Yu thought that she had to make hawthorn cake, otherwise the hawthorns would have to be dried.

Wen Ge'er said happily, "Why not? My aunt told me this morning that it would be great if you kept asking her for help."

Qiao Yu was also very happy to hear this: "Then it's settled. I'll go find her later. I have to make the hawthorn cakes this afternoon. Will we go to town to sell them tomorrow?"

Wen Geer smiled: "No need to look for her, my aunt will come over later."

Qiao Yu thought about it and agreed. After all, since Old Lady Li came here to cause trouble today, Li Li'niang would definitely come over if she heard about it.

Qiao Yu looked at Wen Ben'er. Although he also smiled, he obviously frowned from time to time to listen to the movement outside. He comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll ask your cousin to call Brother Gu and Aunt Shi. We can definitely solve the problem today."

Wen Ge'er always trusted Qiao Yu and nodded vigorously.

After Old Lady Li had been throwing a tantrum and crying for fifteen minutes, the village chief came. When he arrived, Old Lady Li cried even louder.

Old Mrs. Li rolled over and fell to the feet of the village chief: "Village chief, please give me some justice! Li Xiuniang won't let me live! Ah..."

Mrs. Li had been scolding for so long that her voice was a little hoarse, but she was still very loud. Qiao Yu wanted to give her an iron lung award.

Although the village chief disliked Old Lady Li, he still asked people to help her up and told her not to sit on the ground like a crazy woman. It would not be good for Shangtian Village if word got out.

The village chief said sternly, "I already know about your situation. I have asked someone to call your three sons. Wait for them to come before you tell me."

Old Lady Li felt something was wrong. Why would she ask the second and third sons to help her with her eldest son and daughter-in-law's affairs? However, since the village chief was the top leader of Shangtian Village and his words were final, she agreed reluctantly.

Soon, Li Lao Da came. His face was covered with sweat, and it was obvious that he had run here. Behind him followed Li Lao Er and Li Lao San, who looked unhappy. He was sent to the fields to pick vegetables to sell in the town early this morning. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was told that his mother had gone to trouble Xiuniang. He hurried over.

When Qiao Yu heard the noise, she went out to see what was happening. She was surprised to find that her husband had not arrived yet.

When Li Xiuniang saw Li Lao Da coming, she said the first sentence of the day in front of everyone in the village: "Village head, I ask you to be a witness today. I, Li Xiuniang, cannot give birth to a son for the Li family, but I have been working so hard for so many years to provide food and clothing for his family. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard, but I can't live like this anymore. Let me divorce Li Xueming today. I don't want anything, just want my brother Wen to follow me."
