"No, this is..." Qiao Qixin explained quickly, but was interrupted by Sister Zhang.
"I understand, I understand." Sister Zhang looked at Qiao Qixin with a smile, as if to tell her not to be nervous.
Qiao Qixin was helpless and tried to explain again, "It's not true, sister, you misunderstood. I repay Liu Zhan with these jade pendants. They were originally a pair, but he thought a pair was too expensive, so he gave me back one piece."
Sister Zhang nodded, "I understand~ I understand everything~"
Qiao Qixin was speechless and held her forehead.
night
"When are we going home?" Qiao Qixin asked at the dinner table.
Sister Zhang, who was forced by Qiao Qixin to explain her relationship with Liu Zhan, did not want to speak.
Brother Zhang looked at Sister Zhang, then at Qiao Qixin, "That's right, your eldest sister and I originally planned to go home when you came back."
"Go home? Did you leave anything behind?" Qiao Qixin asked.
Sister Zhang and Brother Zhang looked at each other, "That's it, Qixin..."
Sister Zhang told Qiao Qixin about the forced closure of the vegetable shop.
"... After the vegetable shop was closed, your eldest brother and I were brought to this manor by Mr. Liu. I don't know what the vegetables in the vegetable garden have become now. Your eldest brother and I were thinking about whether we should go back.
Have a look."
At the end of the day, Sister Zhang took Qiao Qixin's hand and apologized, "Your eldest brother and I didn't mean to cause the vegetable shop to close. If you have any complaints, Qixin, just come to eldest sister."
"Sister, I'm sorry for you, for not being able to keep your shop safe."
Qiao Qixin smiled and said, "It's okay, isn't it just a shop? Why don't we open one somewhere else?"
Saying that, Qiao Qixin silently opened her system space and took a look.
There are not many seeds left... I can't wait anymore and ask the system to give me a task.
——
The second day
"Sister! Are you okay?" Qiao Qixin greeted at the door in high spirits.
"Come on, come on!" Sister Zhang waved to the little sisters she was chatting with, and then came to Qiao Qixin with a salute on her back.
"Isn't Brother Zhang with you?" Qiao Qixin looked around and saw no figure of Brother Zhang.
Just as Sister Zhang was about to reply, she heard the sound of horse hooves and wheels coming from a distance.
"Let - go - ah -" The disgraced Brother Zhang stumbled behind the out-of-control carriage.
Qiao Qixin reacted quickly and pushed Sister Zhang away, then reached out and grabbed the reins.
The out-of-control horse dragged her for another long distance before stopping.
"I asked you to lead the carriage, what the hell are you doing!" Sister Zhang slapped Brother Zhang on the back and said dissatisfied.
Brother Zhang also patted his sleeves aggrievedly and explained reluctantly, "I didn't know this horse would go crazy... I had to put in a lot of effort to hang up the carriage."
While the two were talking, Qiao Qixin had already led the horse to them.
Qiao Qixin put on a handsome expression.
She pointed to the car behind her and said handsomely, "Get in the car! I'll drive... No, I'll drive!"
Seeing this, Sister Zhang slapped Brother Zhang again, "Look at me, even a young girl is much more reliable than you."
Brother Zhang scratched his head and said nothing.
After the two got into the car, Qiao Qixin drove the horse.
It was her first time driving a carriage, so she would go off track from time to time.
"Uh-huh, uh--"
"Qixin! Qixin, please stop! Your eldest sister is going to vomit!" Brother Zhang shouted in the carriage.
When Qiao Qixin heard this, she quickly reined in her horse, but she didn't expect the horse to be reined in too much, so she swung around and threw herself off.
Qiao Qixin was thrown into the mud, and Sister Zhang couldn't care less about comforting her. Brother Zhang helped her out of the carriage and vomited on the side of the road.
"Uh-huh, I'm fine. You go and vomit--see if Qixin is vomit--injured." Sister Zhang bent over the roadside and kept hammering her chest.
Brother Zhang also rubbed her back and said, "No matter what she does, she is still young and will not be in the way."
Qiao Qixin, who was out of the way, silently got up from the ground.
She exchanged a glass of water from the system mall and handed it to Sister Zhang.
Sister Zhang didn't even think about where she got the water from, she took the cup and drank it in one gulp.
Qiao Qixin tilted her head and looked at Sister Zhang, "Sister, are you feeling better?"
"Much better." Sister Zhang put the water glass back to Qiao Qixin, and then asked, "Huh? Where did you get this water glass?"
Qiao Qixin casually excused herself, "It comes with the skirt."
When Sister Zhang heard her reason, she didn't ask in detail. She stretched her waist and got into the car again.
"Qixin, please slow down, otherwise your eldest sister won't be able to bear it." Brother Zhang said worriedly.
"Oh, it's not about speed." Sister Zhang said.
Brother Zhang was confused, "What's the reason for that?"
"You don't understand, huh." Sister Zhang turned her head away and ignored Brother Zhang.
Qiao Qixin felt that she understood something, but she didn't say anything.
Although Sister Zhang said it was not about speed, Qiao Qixin still deliberately kept the speed down and tried to keep the horse in a straight line as much as possible.
Sister Zhang showed no signs of vomiting along the way, and the three of them returned to their previous village smoothly.
The scene in the village is as usual, except...
"Don't worry, Aunt Sun, these are the vegetable seeds you want!"
"I'm sorry, grandma, but we have finished buying the white radish seeds and have to make another batch."
This familiar voice...
Qiao Qixin looked along the sound and saw a small stall set up on the roadside at some point, and that familiar voice...
Isn’t it Lin Yaya!
Qiao Qixin immediately looked back at Sister Zhang, who also responded to Qiao Qixin with a confused expression.
Although she didn't know why, Qiao Qixin still had an extremely strong urge to get out of the car and ask for details.
But considering that her eldest brother and sister were still in the car, Qiao Qixin parked the carriage back in front of her original home.
"Huh? Why isn't the door locked?" Qiao Qixin pushed the door open in confusion.
I saw countless ripe and cracking sesame poles piled up in the yard, and even sunflowers...
Qiao Qixin looked back at Sister Zhang and asked, "Did you do this?"
The two of them shook their heads quickly, "How is it possible? The vegetables in the vegetable field are all sent directly to the city. How can it be at home?"
"Then..." Qiao Qixin hesitated.
"Come on, let on! You're blocking me from getting the rapeseeds!" A strange boy suddenly pushed away the three people surrounding his door, then came to a corner very familiarly, and took out a large bag from it.
Rapeseed.
Qiao Qixin stared at the young man's face, then suddenly stretched out her hand to pull him, "Are you, Liang Hejing?"
"Huh? Do you recognize me? I don't have much rapeseed at home, you can buy it later!" Liang Hejing said, throwing away Qiao Qixin's hand and leaving.
Of course Qiao Qixin refused. How could a good home be turned into a drying yard?
She ran a few steps and grabbed Liang Hejing again, and said sternly, "Who told you to dry these things in my house?"
"What's your house? No one has lived in this place for a long time! My mother is doing big business! You can't afford the delay! Let me go!" Liang Hejing tried to break away from Qiao Qixin's hand again.
But because he was holding the rapeseed and Qiao Qixin was very strong, he couldn't break free for a while.
"Tell me clearly! Who is your mother? Is it Lin Yaya? What did you do during my absence? Tell me!" Qiao Qixin tugged on Liang Hejing's collar and became a little angry.
"Ah!" Liang Hejing screamed as he was being dragged unprepared, and then struggled hard.
But it was of no use. After Qiao Qixin used force to suppress him, he finally became obedient.
Qiao Qixin moved a small mat for him to sit down, and then looked down at Liang Hejing from a high position.
"Do you still remember who I am? Read your answer carefully!" Qiao Qixin said sharply.
Liang Hejing was intimidated.
He looked up at Qiao Qixin tremblingly, and then said more seriously, "Bad, bad woman!"
Qiao Qixin whipped the horsewhip on the ground next to him, "Say it again?"
Liang Hejing trembled, "Qiao, Qiao Qixin..."
Qiao Qixin nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Who asked you to work as a drying factory in this place? Huh?"
"It's my mother..." Liang Hejing shuddered, and then changed his words, "It's Lin Yaya..."
"Where do these dishes come from?" Qiao Qixin asked sternly.
"Yes, it comes from the fields..."
"Whose field is it?"
"I...no, no, you, your family..."
Qiao Qixin whipped her riding crop in the air, making a terrifying sound, "When did Lin Yaya take away my farmland? Huh?"
Liang Hejing said tremblingly, "No, I don't know..."
"Okay, not sure, right? I'm going to find Lin Yaya now."
Qiao Qixin said and helped Liang and Jing walk outside.
Sister Zhang and Brother Zhang also followed behind her, ready to support her.
Even after being away for a long time, Qiao Qixin still clearly remembers the location of the Liang family.
She kicked the door open and found Lin Yaya and...an old man making love to each other in the courtyard.
Qiao Qixin frowned. She didn't expect that it would hurt her eyes when she opened the door.
Lin Yaya screamed, then hurriedly buttoned up her buttons, "Who are you? Why did you suddenly break into my house!"
Why can't anyone recognize me after not seeing each other for just a few days? Qiao Qixin was confused.
But she is not here to reminisce, but to make trouble.
Qiao Qixin looked at the corners of the yard, and then snorted coldly, "You are living a comfortable life, but you don't have a man, otherwise you wouldn't..."
As she spoke, Qiao Qixin looked up and down at the pot-bellied old man with a scrutinizing gaze.
"You, this is the polite shopkeeper! How can you talk like this!" Lin Yaya said angrily.
Qiao Qixin rolled her eyes, "Shopkeeper? The shopkeeper's affair even sneaked into the shabby yard? What, you like to show off?"
Not only the vegetable shop that you worked so hard to build was destroyed, but now when you come back and see the remains of the vegetable shop being robbed to live a good life, who can still stay calm?
Qiao Qixin just wanted to ask clearly now, and then let Lin Yaya spit out everything she had eaten!
"What kind of affair, and exposure, exposure, who are you! You suddenly broke into someone else's house, and you said all kinds of cruel things!" Lin Yaya's face turned red with anger.
The polite shopkeeper raised his hand to stop Lin Yaya.
He stood up, the wrinkles on his face folded together because of that disgusting smile.
