Joe's Farming

Because they had told the children earlier that they would make sugar-roasted chestnuts for them, and because they had recently been making hawthorn cakes, the family had consumed a lot of sugar. So before Qiao Yu and Gu Feng went home, they went to buy 20 kilograms of sugar and collect the bill at the same time.

The shop owner greeted Qiao Yu with a smile when he saw him: "Hey! Brother Qiao, you're finally here. People come to ask for this soap every day, but it's out of stock." Then he calculated the amount of the soap to Qiao Yu: "Look, is the number correct?"

Qiao Yu didn't even look at it and put it in his own purse: "Why count it? I trust your work. Let me ask, which one sells faster, the ordinary soap or the expensive one?"

The shop owner immediately became serious: "Of course the ordinary ones are easy to sell, but the expensive ones are also in demand. The buyers are all the more affluent families in town. They buy sets of different patterns and colors at a time. They don't bargain."

Qiao Yu nodded in understanding: "Boss, it must be because you are good at talking that the products are selling well. I will make another batch later, and then..."

The shop owner immediately said: "Please leave it here when the time comes, and I will sell it!"

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, boss."

"Brother Qiao, you're welcome!"

Qiao Yu planned to make a batch of high-end soaps this time, specifically for the rich. But good things need good packaging, so he went to find a carpenter and asked him to make a wooden box that could hold four bars of soap. The box had to be light, carved with auspicious words, and painted to prevent corrosion and moth. He asked the carpenter to make one or two finished products first, and then he would make a decision after seeing the results. The carpenter was a little unhappy when he heard this.

But soon after, Qiao Yu ordered another twenty sets of molds and 100 soap trays, and he readily agreed to the deal, telling Qiao Yu not to worry, and that he would do a good job.

Gu Feng followed along, watching his husband and the carpenter talking about his ideas, and for the first time realized that his husband was different from all the guys he knew. He liked to see this kind of husband, full of energy and full of ideas from nowhere.

Seeing Gu Feng looking at him, Qiao Yu thought he was bored, so he quickly ended the conversation with the carpenter and told him to have Lin Dalin and Lin Er deliver it when it was finished, and he would pay for the shipping.

The carpenter said "OK" three times in a row.

Because he was going to start making soap in large quantities, Qiao Yu went to several butcher shops to buy 100 kilograms of pork fat and several kilograms of pork belly. After the grill was made, it had not been used yet.

Gu Feng never asked about his food expenses. Since Qiao Yu came, their family had almost never been without meat. Even ordinary people in the town rarely had such good meals. In Gu Feng's opinion, after all, it was the money earned by his husband himself. Even if it was earned by himself, he would give it all to his husband.

When the carriage passed the market outside the town, Qiao Yu asked Gu Feng to stop and bought some vegetables such as lettuce and sweet potatoes. Since Lin Da and Lin Er started the express delivery business, Qiao Yu rarely saw them in this place. He only exchanged a few words when they delivered goods every morning. He knew that although they didn't make much money now, their reputation was known, and gradually some people began to ask them to deliver things and messages. In order not to miss any customers, they found a family in each village to help them pick up jobs.

Qiao Yu often feels that the ancients were not stupid, but the objective conditions did not allow it. Isn’t this a typical express delivery station?

Qiao Yu looked at the packed carriage and sat next to her husband, feeling full in her heart. Even the unpleasantness at the wedding banquet became a help in enhancing their relationship.

When they were almost at the entrance of the village, they saw three children and Uncle Wang from afar. But the children had strange expressions. Qiao Xing was blocking his younger brother and sister-in-law and confronting another child. The one confronting Qiao Xing was Qiao Dabao, the son of his stepmother.

Without Qiao Yu's instruction, Gu Feng quickly drove the carriage over and stopped it next to the children.

The children had arrived at the village entrance early in order to play while waiting for their parents, but when they were having a great time playing with some friends in the village, Qiao Dabao came and insisted on playing with them.

Qiao Dabao was older and fatter than them. He was just like his mother, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The kids didn't like him very much. Because many of the games were taught by Qiao Xing who came from the town to play, the kids all looked at Qiao Xing to see what he thought.

Seeing Qiao Dabao's arrogant look, Qiao Xing simply refused.

Qiao Dabao clenched his fist and gestured to him: "Do you know who I am?"

Qiao Xing frowned. They had come here to play several times and had never seen this fat boy. However, Gu Xiaoxue and Gu Xiaoyan still remembered this little fat boy, so they said to Qiao Xing, "Brother, he is the child of the stepmother who bullied little daddy."

Bullying Little Daddy’s stepmother? This was the first time Qiao Xing heard about this. He always thought that Little Daddy was a high and mighty immortal, and never thought that he would be bullied. His face changed immediately: “I don’t care who you are!”

Qiao Dabao actually wanted to play with them for a long time, but because he was much older than them and his mother didn't allow him to go. But today his father suddenly called him over and told him to play with these hunters' children, so he shamelessly asked to join. Who knew that this skinny little monkey-like kid would dare to refuse him!

Qiao Dabao was about to go up and hit him, and this was what Qiao Yu saw.

-

"Qiao Dabao! What do you want to do?" Qiao Yu asked sternly. He remembered that the original owner was often bullied by this little fat boy.

Qiao Dabao glanced at him and retracted his fist: "I'm not doing anything, I just want to play with them."

Gu Xiaoxue: "Let's not play with him."

Qiao Yu patted the heads of the three children soothingly, then turned to look at Qiao Dabao: "They didn't want to, so you waved your fist? Do you know that according to seniority, you are their uncle? Do you bully the younger generation like this?"

Qiao Dabao had never been scolded like this by Qiao Yu before. He felt very aggrieved all of a sudden: "You...you money-loser! Why are you scolding me?!"

Gu Feng flicked his whip unhappily and took a step back in fear.

When Qiao Yu heard this familiar line, he probably learned it from Tian Guihua. He always hated naughty children, but for Qiao Dabao, he was too lazy to even move his hands. He simply ignored him and prepared to pick up the children to take the car home.

Then he heard someone calling him from a distance: "Qiao Ge'er, wait a moment."

Qiao Yu turned around and was really surprised. The man running towards her with a friendly smile was the original owner's biological father, Qiao Lao San.
