Chapter 21

Seeing Lan Yue Niang return, Gao Shi said, "The marriage has already been arranged; the withdrawal money is impossible. Tomorrow Lanhua must get married, whether she wants to or not."

Qiao Lanhua's face instantly turned pale.

She still thought she didn't have to marry, but it turned out she still had to.

Lan Yue Niang's voice was a bit cold as she asked Gao Shi, "Mother, are you really not withdrawing?"

What does she want to do?

Hit her?

Gao Shi bristled and said, "Not withdrawing!"

Lan Yue Niang, thoroughly angered, said, "Sir, tomorrow the wedding party will come; let them come in one by one and fight."

"Fine!"

Qiao Hushui feared that Qiao Lanhua would later have a life as bad as his second daughter, so he chose to stand on Lan Yue Niang's side.

Gao Shi, sitting on the ground with a thud, began to sob and shout, Lan Yue Niang sneered, "Mother, you shout, call Lianhua over, then we'll see her…"

She said nothing more, letting Gao Shi imagine on her own.

Gao Shi stared at Lan Yue Niang with a horrified look, wondering how she had become so hard to deal with.

Bai Zhaodi and the others aren't concerned with that now; they only want to split off.

Gao Shi couldn't stand their uproar, so she finally agreed, but she also grew to hate Qiao Sheng, thinking that if it weren't for her, the family wouldn't be in this state.

Matters on their side.

Qiao Sheng didn't know; after bandaging his head, he took the medicine Doctor Li gave, led Xiao Shitou back to the Mountain God Temple.

Upon entering the Mountain God Temple, Xiao Shitou said, "Mother, your head was damaged like this by Great Grandmother; aren't you making her pay?"

Qiao Sheng's expression froze for a moment and he said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, Mother would have forgotten. Come, let's go find them!"

When they arrived at the Qiao household.

Bai Zhaodi and the others had just received their share of the money; they also got three taels of silver and two hundred wen.

The money hadn't even warmed in their hands before some of it had to be spent; how could Bai Zhaodi be happy about that?

"Qiao Lianhua, you think too optimistically…"

Qiao Sheng raised an eyebrow and said, "I think beautifully; are you sure you won't give?"

Bai Zhaodi recalled the previous incident and didn't dare to argue with Qiao Sheng; she produced twenty wen and said, "Here, compensation for you; is that enough?"

"One hundred wen."

Qiao Sheng opened his mouth.

Bai Zhaodi widened her eyes: "What, one hundred wen? Your head only has that little injury, and you want so much money! Why don't you go rob?"

"Just tell me whether you'll give or not!"

Qiao Sheng said, his words striking the ground.

Bai Zhaodi was extremely resentful; unwillingly, she counted the money three times and handed it to Qiao Sheng.

As Qiao Sheng and the others were preparing to leave, Qiao Xuehua called out to them.

She ran up to them and thrust a cloth bag into their hands: "Mother, this is from me. Big sister, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Hearing that,

Qiao Sheng said to Qiao Xuehua, "Tomorrow morning we'll go to town; come in the afternoon."

"Alright!"

Qiao Xuehua replied.

She wanted to say something more, but Qiao Sheng was already leading Xiao Shitou, carrying the cloth bag, and walked out.

When they returned, Qiao Sheng finally looked.

Inside the cloth bag, besides a few jin of black noodles, there were two eggs, a small amount of salt, and also a little over half a bowl of pork lard.

Xiao Shitou had already wanted to sleep.

While Qiao Sheng was looking, he collapsed onto a pile of dry straw and fell asleep.

When Qiao Sheng noticed, he was already sound asleep.

He confirmed he was truly asleep.

Qiao Sheng went to a corner, muttered a phrase to enter the space, and the surrounding scene changed instantly.

He saw the vegetables he had previously planted had already grown to an inch tall.

Qiao Sheng was overjoyed, drank some Spirit Spring Water from the space, washed his face and bathed with it, and only then left the space to sleep.

He didn't know how long he slept.

Zhang Qiao's voice came from outside: "Lianhua…"
