Chapter 4: Teaching Qiao Xingsheng a Lesson

Li Shi brothers' restaurant?

Qiao Sheng had not seen this restaurant before, so she asked around.

The Li Shi brothers' restaurant was located under the town's only bridge, business was decent, and when Qiao Sheng and Xiao Shitou went there, they were busy.

They heard that their father had met with an accident.

The second brother, Li Dayin, followed Qiao Sheng and the others as they ran to the scene of the incident.

When they were sending him to see the doctor,

The doctor said it was fortunate they arrived in time; otherwise, if it had been later, it might have been difficult to treat.

After listening to the doctor, Li Dayin, his face showing gratitude, thanked Qiao Sheng: 'Little sister, thank you, thank you for informing us in time.'

Seeing Li Dayin say that,

Qiao Sheng replied: 'Elder Brother Li, don't be so polite; I just happened to come across this.'

If I hadn't happened upon it, I couldn't have saved his father.

'No, no, this is a life-saving grace; I must properly thank you.' Li Dayin said, taking out his money pouch to give Qiao Sheng money.

Qiao Sheng refused: 'Brother Dayin, if you truly want to thank me, try this instead.'

Li Dayin, upon seeing it was Yanghuai Flower, was momentarily stunned.

'What is this?'

Li Dayin didn't understand Qiao Sheng's meaning.

Qiao Sheng handed the Yanghuai Flower to him and explained how to make flower dumplings.

After saying that.

Qiao Sheng continued: 'We came to town this afternoon to sell pheasants, and we also want to sell this Yanghuai Flower; if you trust me, do as I say.'

Li Dayin took the Yanghuai Flower and said: 'Okay, I'll take it back to try! But remember to come to our restaurant tomorrow.'

'Good!'

Qiao Sheng agreed.

Leaving this place.

Qiao Sheng took Xiao Shitou to look for a grain shop.

Eating black noodles while scraping his throat, Qiao Sheng didn't want to eat them and planned to buy brown rice instead.

Asking several shops, the price was five wen per jin everywhere.

Only buying in bulk would make it cheaper.

Ancient grain yields were not as high as modern ones; buying at this price, Qiao Sheng was not surprised, but felt that this little money was insufficient.

If she had that kind of space from novels, how wonderful that would be.

As Qiao Sheng's thought fell, she suddenly felt a spot above her right arm become scorchingly hot.

She couldn't help feeling delighted; could it be that she truly had a space?

Now she was outside.

Qiao Sheng ultimately didn't feel comfortable lifting her sleeve to look, so she decided to go back and check later.

'Boss, I want three jin of brown rice.'

Although Qiao Sheng had forty wen in hand, she couldn't spend it all; she needed to keep some for emergencies, right?

Their village wasn't far from town, but not close either; the round trip took a little more than an hour.

They had not yet entered the Mountain God Temple.

Qiao Sheng heard movement from inside, hid the grain and Xiao Shitou, then walked toward the Mountain God Temple.

She did not go straight in, but first took a look from outside.

Through a crack in the Mountain God Temple's exterior, Qiao Sheng instantly saw her second paternal cousin Qiao Xingsheng causing havoc inside; not only was he making a mess everywhere, he also wanted to smash the pottery jars.

Qiao Sheng rushed in and shouted: 'Qiao Xingsheng, what are you doing, you!'

'Ugly girl, you've finally come back.'

Qiao Xingsheng casually threw it, and the pottery jar shattered into several pieces.

Qiao Sheng felt like killing him; she picked up a branch and swung it at him.

Qiao Xingsheng, who usually loafed around and often hung out in town, still had some skill; he dodged in an instant: 'You dead girl, you also want…'

The branch in Qiao Sheng's hand whipped across Qiao Xingsheng's face, instantly cutting off his unfinished words.

Qiao Xingsheng had not yet reacted.

Qiao Sheng struck again, blow after blow: 'I'll let you smash our pottery jars, let you mess up the Mountain God Temple, let you scatter our belongings everywhere…'

'Dead girl, you've rebelled against heaven!'
