Dressed as a blacksmith

It was Ding Yanhe who came, she was aggressive, as if she was here to ask a crime, Qiao Yuan raised her eyebrows.

Yu Dameng stepped forward to stand in front of Qiao Yuan, and stared back with wide-open tiger eyes, making Qiao Yuan laugh all of a sudden.

Yu Dameng looked back at Qiao Yuan, as if he was saying what time it was, are you still laughing?

Qiao Yuan hurriedly surrendered, holding back a smile and pulling Yu Dayan behind him, never letting the people in front of him look at this fool again.

"What's the matter, Miss Ding?"

Ding Yanhe was glared at by Yu Dameng just now, and his aura is no longer as strong as when he came here. He was stumbling, "You... Since you despise Brother Dameng, why don't you let him marry a common wife?"

Big brother?

Qiao Yuan glanced at Yu Dameng very unhappily. Yu Dameng wished to prove his innocence, so he immediately widened his eyes and said anxiously: "I don't take concubines!"

Ding Yanhe was furious, and said without hesitation: "Brother Dameng, he doesn't have you in his heart at all! Have you forgotten that he hanged himself on his wedding night?"

Yu Dameng looked away to avoid suspicion, and answered her coldly: "Whether my husband likes me or not, I like him."

Well, it's really cool to KO an opponent without using your own efforts.

But Qiao Yuan didn't want others to misunderstand his relationship with Yu Dameng, "I've already explained what happened in the village before, so I won't explain it to Miss Ding. But you said that I don't have my husband in my heart, I have to get it Just to clarify."

Qiao Yuan looked at Yu Dameng and said with a smile, "I like him very much."

Yu Dameng blushed suddenly.

His husband and wife were full of affection, Ding Yanhe felt even more out of breath, Qiao Yuan cut off the worse words just as he was about to say them, "Miss Ding, please respect yourself!"

"I originally thought you were too young and didn't want to argue with you. Now, since you've come to your door, let's make it clear. From the beginning to the end of this matter, whether it's our Yu family, my husband or me, everyone I don't have the slightest intention of accepting you as a concubine, I don't know where you heard the news from?"

Ding Yanhe stagnated, she was immersed in the humiliation of being rejected for the past few days, and she was dizzy.As soon as Qiao Yuan reminded Fang Jue that only Xu Xiuhua was involved in this matter from the beginning to the end, the Yu family never expressed this intention at all.

"Don't trust others easily." Qiao Yuan knew that she was probably instigated by Qiao Yingying, "My uncle's family treated me harshly since I was a child, and even took over my family property. I don't agree with them. Even if it's really interesting, I won't invite them Come out."

"Besides, what's so good about being a concubine?"

"It's a flat wife!" Ding Yanhe emphasized.

Qiao Yuan smiled, "That's just a nice name, what's the difference between a flat wife and a concubine? Why should Miss Ding deceive herself and others?"

Ding Yanhe's face turned red, and she felt extremely ashamed to be pointed out so bluntly.

Qiao Yuan didn't want to spend too much time talking with her, "If my husband really thinks about it."

"I didn't!" Qiao Yuan was interrupted by Yu Dameng loudly before he finished speaking, Qiao Yuan pinched him angrily, and continued: "You don't need Miss Ding to bother, I kicked him myself."

"I didn't!" Yu Dameng stressed again nervously.

Qiao Yuan gave him a helpless look, and pulled him away.Ding Yanhe was left in a mess, so it turned out that Brother Dameng left Qiao Yuan, couldn't he?How can he!

Ding Yanhe returned home in a daze. Her older brother Ding Da, who came back from working in the county, saw something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong, little sister?"

Lishi Ding said angrily, "It's not Xu Xiuhua from the Qiao family!"

"It was said earlier that his nephew wanted to give Yu San a flat wife. I thought that the Yu family's conditions were good, and Yan He was interested in Yu San, so I accepted her. Who knew that the matchmaker came to the door and was rejected by the Yu family!"

Lishi Ding originally wanted to settle accounts with Xu Xiuhua, but after thinking about it calmly, this incident would affect Yan He's reputation, so she endured it.However, fortunately, the next day, Qiao's family had trouble with Xiao Fengxian, and Mrs. Ding was very angry.

"Confused!" Ding Da was very angry, "Mother, my little sister is ignorant, why are you messing around with her? Yu Sanfulang and Xu Xiuhua are not compatible at all, can't you see it?"

Ding Lishi was a little guilty, of course she could see it, but she thought that the girl's family took the initiative, and Yu San's good deed would not be rejected.

"How powerful is Yu San's husband? Opening a shop in the county town, he can do business with the old man, why should we offend him?"

Ding Yanhe became a little more energetic when she heard the words, but her eyes were filled with confusion.

Ding Da continued: "Since the little brother of the Qiao family married into the Yu family, the life of the Yu family has become better and better. Even the novelties made by his iron shop are also thanks to the little brother of the Qiao family!"

So is Qiao Yuan so powerful?

The sense of shame that Ding Yanhe had finally dispelled surged into her heart again, what could she use to compete with Qiao Yuan?

And Qiao Yuan was angry at this moment, "Brother Dameng, you are really affectionate. Did you grow up when you were young?"

Yu Dameng opened his mouth, he didn't know how to explain, because it really seemed like this, he couldn't control other people's mouths, and he didn't pay attention to it.

With his silence, Qiao Yuan knew that he had guessed right, and immediately became more jealous, and snorted, "Then do you still call her Sister Yanhe?"

"I didn't!" Yu Dameng's eyes widened, and he reflected on himself seriously. He must have been called by his name when he was young.

"Come here!" Qiao Yuan patted the place beside him, ordering Yu Dameng humming.

Yu Dameng was so fierce that Qiao Yuan rushed over, "Don't talk to her in the future!"

"Yeah!" Yu Dameng nodded in agreement, he didn't want Fu Lang to be angry again.

With his attitude, he coaxed Qiao Yuan well.Qiao Yuan threw him down and said playfully, "Touch me."

......

The briquette experiment was very successful. Qiao Yuan immediately decided to transfer Meng Bei from the pier to be responsible for making briquette. Meng Bei readily agreed, as he could not help at all at the pancake stand.

"It's a hard job. Brother Meng, your monthly money will increase by another five hundred cash per month. Sister-in-law Meng will pay according to Brother Meng's original monthly money. How about it?"

"That's too much!" The monthly money Qiao Yuan gave was already higher than the market price, and Li Xiumei felt that she deserved it.

The reason why Qiao Yuan gave them such a high monthly fee was naturally because his relatives wanted to help out, but the Meng family was really sincere and often helped them in the shop. Qiao Yuan felt that the money was worth it. "It's getting colder and colder. It's not easy to go to work. Brother Meng has to travel back and forth every day. It's worth the money."

The Meng couple no longer evaded, thinking to themselves that they would be more honest in their work in the future.

The demand for honeycomb briquettes is high, so it is necessary to hire people in the village, and the priority is naturally those who are close to the Yu family.

For example, the Wu family, the Qian family, the Zhao family, and the Zhang family were all employed. This time, a total of seven people were hired. Three were responsible for pressing the briquettes, and four were responsible for pressing the coal into powder and coal ash. The daily wage was fifty arts.

The unemployed people in Xianhe Village are also busy, because the Yu family also collects clay, and digging a basket on the mountain can be exchanged for two cents. This business is completely costless, and every household is in motion.

Qiao Yuan discussed with Father Yu that the sale of stoves and briquettes would start at the [-]th festival next month.

But before that, he had one more thing to settle.

That is to get back the property that the original owner deserved!Get rid of Qiao Guangzhi's errand again!

On this day, Qiao Yuan hosted a banquet at his home for the village head and the heads of several clans in Xianhe Village.

Everyone knows that his status is extraordinary now, but they just gathered a group of old guys all of a sudden, these people are a little confused, "Brother Yuan, why did you invite us here?"

Qiao Yuan intends to settle the matter of Qiao's family as soon as possible, so he doesn't beat around the bush, and just speaks directly, "The village head and several elders must have heard about my uncle's and me's affairs on weekdays."

This matter is not a secret, and they have quarreled several times, but after all, they are not regarded as serious elders of the Qiao family, so it is not easy to make peace with them.

"After I got married, I didn't want to worry about these things, but they came to my door again and again to trouble me. Recently, I learned that he was able to get a job on the dock, and he got my father's advantage. The past and the past are connected. It's really hard to recover, so I am determined to get back my father's family property!"

His words shocked the world, and everyone was a little shocked.

Before a few people could say anything, Qiao Yuan dropped a bombshell: "I will convert this property into silver and donate it to the village, build a elementary school with a very low level of cultivation, and accumulate merit for my parents!"

Not only that, in the future he will give porridge, open free clinics to help more people in need, accumulate merit for the original owner's family, and pray for their well-being in the next life.

"Brother Yuan, is what you said true?" Several clan elders were a little excited about such a good thing that would benefit their descendants.

If people in the village want to study, they have to go to the school in the county town. Not to mention Shu Xiugui, the distance is also far away. It takes more than an hour to go back and forth, which is very inconvenient.

It would be different if Xianhe Village had its own school, the dolls would study under their noses, and the status of Xianhe Village in these four miles and eight towns would be different.

Qiao Yuan nodded, "Not only that, but I can also bear the expenses if there are any follow-up expenses. But there is only one thing, I hope the village head and a few clan elders can come forward and help me get back my parents' property."

The temptation of the school is really tempting. After weighing it, the patriarch of the Zhou family stood up, "Then let the old man take the lead to make a statement, and we will definitely do it."

In this feudal society, the clan power in the village is still very easy to use.Besides, Da Chu's law also clearly stipulates that the younger brother can inherit the family property. Qiao Guangzhi cherishes his reputation and cares about his errands at the dock. Qiao Yuan is sure that he will finally agree.

On that day, the news that Qiao Yuan would donate money to build a school in the village if he could get the family property left by his parents before spread throughout Xianhe Village, and there were a lot of discussions for a while.

"Why can't my brother inherit the family property? He is the only one left in this family. Does the family property have to be cheaper for outsiders?"

"If there's a school in the village, I'll send my son there too. It's good to know a few words!"

People are profit-seeking, and after knowing that Qiao Yuan can get the family property is good for them, they will always go to Qiao's house in two or three groups to "persuade them".

Xu Xiuhua made a fuss about this, "Are you trying to force me to death?"

Qiao Yuan was unmoved, he just wanted to get back what the original owner deserved. When Xu Xiuhua and Qiao Guangzhi treated the original owner harshly, they should have thought of the four words karma.

As Qiao Yuan expected, after only three days, Qiao Guangzhi was overwhelmed and returned the family property left by the original owner's father, ten acres of top-grade land, and the current silver ten taels was equivalent to 20 taels for the real estate.

At the end of the day, Qiao Guangzhi felt disgusted at Qiao Yuan, "As for the money I spent raising Brother Yuan these years, I don't care about it."

Qiao Yuan was not very polite, and said with a sneer: "The work I have done in your house these years is worth it. If you really count it carefully, maybe you will pay me back, uncle!"

"You!" Qiao Guangzhi glared at Qiao Yuan angrily, but Yu Dameng pushed him unceremoniously.

It was really a brute force, Qiao Guangzhi fell on his buttocks and squatted, and he didn't recover for a long time.

He also suddenly felt that since Qiao Yuan married into Yu's family, he has become more and more unhappy, but he did not expect that there is much more waiting for him.
