Chapter 192

Not long after.

Qiao Sheng rented an ox cart and took Chun Xue and the others to the house he had rented.

He settled them in.

Qiao Sheng explained clearly to Chun Xue and the others what they needed to do, then went to the restaurant.

Qiao Hushui and his group had already packed the vegetables they were to sell this morning, and were now sitting in the restaurant chatting. When they caught sight of Qiao Sheng returning, they rose to greet him.

"Sister, have you bought the people?"

Qiao Xuehua opened her mouth and asked.

"Buy people?"

Xiao Shitou and the others didn't know about this, and all turned to look at Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng said at a measured pace, "The people have already been bought. I bought four women—three about twenty years old, and one about sixteen."

She briefly described their situation.

Upon learning that Qiao Sheng had bought such a fiery‑tempered woman, Lan Yue Niang frowned and said, "Lianhua, Xia Yue won't try to kill herself again, will she?"

If she were to die in the house Qiao Sheng rented, the landlord would be to blame if they didn't cause her trouble.

Hearing that,

Qiao Sheng looked at Lan Yue Niang and said, "Mother, didn't I tell you? Xia Yue altered her appearance because she feared becoming a plaything of a wealthy family's Young Master. Now that I've bought her, that problem no longer exists; she won't do that again."

Having said that,

Qiao Sheng changed the subject and asked An Liu and An Shi, "An Liu, An Shi, have you bought everything I sent you to purchase today?"

An Liu remained silent.

An Shi spoke first.

"Qiao Niangzi, the pork heads, pork feet and pork ears you asked for have been bought by me and Brother Liu, and the peanuts, sunflower seeds and candy are also bought. However, Brother Liu ate a lot of the peanuts, sunflower seeds and candy, and he can't eat the pork heads and such. If he could, I'm afraid they'd already be half gone…"

If I didn't know what kind of person An Shi is.

An Liu would think he's reporting himself.

The reason An Shi said that was to ask Qiao Sheng whether she wanted him to buy some more.

But he hadn't gotten to that point yet.

Shi Jin spoke first: "An Liu, you eat too much; look, you're getting so fat you're almost a pig. You still protect us; aren't you afraid that one day you'll fly up and fall to the ground?"

This kid.

An Liu really wants to kick Shi Jin.

"Indeed, a bit fat."

Shi Ren carefully examined An Liu and said,

When did the two brothers become so united?

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

An Liu snorted, "What's wrong with being fat? Even if I gain another hundred jin, I can still fly up!"

After hearing him speak,

An Shi Yi stared seriously and calculated.

"Brother Liu, you're now 185 jin; if you gain another 100 jin, you'll be 285 jin."

"Can you really fly up?"

An Shi expressed doubt.

A short while later, his eyes lit up as he looked at An Shi and said, "Brother Liu, when will you reach 285 jin? I want to see whether you can actually fly up."

An Liu: "!"

He doesn't speak, yet no one thinks he's mute!

Shi Jin let out a snort of laughter; he couldn't imagine what it would look like for An Liu to eat himself up to 285 jin.

Qiao Sheng also felt like laughing, but held back: "Shi Jin, that's not right. Although your Uncle An Liu is a bit fat, if he changes, he still can't eat himself that fat."

"What if he doesn't change?"

Shi Jin looked up and asked Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng cleared her throat and said, "Well, that could very well end up weighing more than 285 jin…"

An Liu: "……"

He suspects she said that on purpose!
