"Brother, put me down, I want to walk close to Xiao Fei too," Fu Zi saw Qian Duo's walking posture and thought it was impressive, wanting to try it.
"Don't mess around, you can only touch the horse's legs," Zhao Liang Cai saw Qian Duo struggling to get up and didn't go to help her.
"Yes, alas, I wish I could grow up quickly," Fu Zi realized she couldn't be close to Xiao Fei and sighed with regret.
On the other side, Qin Jun Yao couldn't see what was happening because she was blocked by the horse, and she wasn't curious.
After Qian Duo stood up, she lowered her head slightly, her hands touching her braid to hide her embarrassment.
A beauty is a beauty. With such a gesture, the subordinates walking behind Zhao Liang Cai, who were watching the fun, regretted not stepping forward to help her earlier for a chance to comfort the beauty.
Zhao Liang Cai found it an eyesore. Back then, the Qian family relied on such tactics to bewitch his father, making him feel annoyed.
He stopped and waited for Xiao Fei to pass before绕 to Qin Jun Yao's side from behind.
Qin Jun Yao sensed Zhao Liang Cai approaching. After thinking for a moment, she ran forward with her basket on her back. She didn't want to be Qian Duo's imaginary enemy.
Zhao Liang Cai???
Qin Jun Yao ran to the front of the Qin family's position and heard Qin Grandma "holding a meeting" for the men of the Qin family.
"Remember my words, keep your eyes in check, and your legs quick. Don't look at what you shouldn't, and stay away if you can. If I see any of you getting close to those three people, I'll break your legs."
Qin Er Niu shifted the basket on his back, his eyebrows raised. "Grandma, is it not even allowed to look a couple of times?"
"Of course, it is! You can look all you want. After you're done looking, I'll gouge your eyeballs out, and then you can go to the city gate to be a fortune teller."
Qin Er Niu wanted to retort again but was patted on the back by Qin Er Shen and fell silent.
Qin Grandma looked at Qin Er Shen's action and suddenly remembered that she hadn't given her two daughters-in-law a warning.
"Eldest and second daughters-in-law, if you see anyone pitiable along the way, secretly share some water or food. How many times have I told you, and you still don't remember?"
"But if you don't remember what I'm saying this time, I'll divorce you."
Qin Grandma said this with great seriousness, scaring Qin Mu and Qin Er Shen greatly. They wished they could prick up their ears to hear what their mother-in-law was going to say.
"Those three, if any of them approach you, you must all avoid them. If you can't avoid them, act deaf and mute in front of them."
"Most importantly, whoever spills the beans about Yao Yao's situation will be slapped to death by me, understand?" After saying this, Qin Grandma looked pointedly at her eldest son and two daughters-in-law.
These three were all thin-skinned, good-hearted, and incapable of refusal, the kind who would even be afraid of being compensated if they were sold.
Qin Grandma looked at the others. The rest were fine.
"Grandma, what about Grandpa Hou?" Qin Xiao Yu didn't understand why she couldn't talk about her sister. What was so unspeakable about her sister? Besides, the Hou family also knew her sister.
"You're everywhere. Just take care of yourself," Qin Grandma said, raising her right hand.
Needless to say, if Qin Xiao Yu asked again, she would get a slap.
Qin Xiao Yu walked to her third uncle with some grievance. Grandma always hit her.
Qin Grandma saw that everyone understood her intentions and nodded. She turned and saw Qin Jun Yao walking beside her, smiling.
She happened to have something to say to Qin Jun Yao. She slowed her pace, causing the two of them to fall behind a bit.
"Grandma, aren't you afraid of someone overhearing you speaking like this?" Qin Jun Yao wondered if it would be better to talk about this during a break.
"Don't you see your second uncle is behind us? He'll be the first to notice if anyone is eavesdropping. Grandma is reliable in handling matters."
"Speaking of which, Grandma has a few things to tell you. If those women try to be nice to you, accept what they give you, but only listen to about twenty percent of what they say."
"If they ask you anything, just act like the tough one you used to be and brush them off. You were enlightened by the Bodhisattva, so why did you lose all your good qualities?" Qin Grandma's tone was full of regret.
She was so good before, good at acting, good at fighting, but now she was like a monk, without joy or sorrow.
Thinking of monks, Qin Grandma suddenly stared at Qin Jun Yao and said, "Yao Yao, you're not allowed to become a nun."
Qin Jun Yao was amused by Qin Grandma's words. "Don't worry, I won't become a nun. But how did you know they would give me something?" As she spoke, she extended her hand to Qin Grandma, holding two pieces of candy.
"Oh, enjoy the smoothness. But it's the cheapest bulk candy." Qin Grandma saw the candy, picked one up, put it in her mouth, and wrapped the other in a handkerchief, tucking it into her embrace.
"Grandma, give Xiao Yu one."
"How many more years do I have to live? You'll have plenty of opportunities to eat in the future. Don't fight with this old lady."
That's right. Qin Jun Yao remembered that in the original owner's memory, whenever there was anything good to eat, Qin Grandma would eat her fill before sharing it with others, and the useful items would be used by herself first.
"It's my fault, Grandma. You said this candy tastes smooth?" Qin Jun Yao no longer pestered about one or two pieces of candy. She would earn money in the future to buy them for Xiao Yu. However, the familiar words reminded Qin Jun Yao of the Empress Dowager, who might have been a fellow countrywoman.
"De Fu Zhai, the Empress Dowager's business. It's still a century-old shop today. This shop only sells various candies and pastries and can only be found in the prefectural city."
"Hey? You've gone off track by interrupting me. Grandma was telling you why they would try to be nice to you..."
As Qin Jun Yao listened to Qin Grandma's analysis, she felt that Qin Grandma wasn't like an ignorant village woman. However, Qin Grandma was truly illiterate and didn't understand many things, yet she had unique insights into judging people.
For example, she said Zhao Chui Zi was definitely not an ordinary soldier. The horse, and the large hammer hanging on the horse, were not things a mere soldier could have.
Qian Shi's age could not have given birth to a son as old as Zhao Chui Zi, so Qian Shi was either remarried or a concubine.
Qian Shi and Qian Duo shared the same surname. She followed the eldest son, who was already of marriageable age and unmarried, with her niece. The intention was self-evident.
If that was the intention, then one must thoroughly understand the people and events around Zhao Chui Zi. Su Dan Novel Network.
Qin Grandma also said that people like Qian Shi and Qian Duo would use small favors to win people over. Qin Jun Yao did almost nothing, and it was clear she was favored at home. Those who were favored were often spoiled and would say anything if praised.
Qin Grandma even guessed that the candy was given to her by Qian Duo, which made Qin Jun Yao feel that it was a shame Qin Grandma wasn't a constable.
She recalled Qian Duo's deliberate effort in dressing up today and believed that Qin Grandma's analysis was at least ninety percent accurate. It seemed she would have to stay away from Zhao Chui Zi in the future.
The old woman and the young girl chatted, and time passed quickly. After several breaks, everyone reached the stream mentioned by Sheng Yi Ning before it got dark.
In fact, everyone had sped up their pace before reaching the stream because green vegetation had appeared.
First, there were large trees with green leaves, then scattered small grasses, and further on, wild vegetables were found.
Upon reaching their destination, everyone dropped their burdens and luggage and rushed to the stream to drink water and wash their faces. The donkeys and horses also jumped into the water to drink and nibble on grass.
The women took out small knives or shovels and began to search for wild vegetables nearby. A cheerful atmosphere filled the air.
But the happiness of everyone could not infect Qian Duo. Qian Duo had discovered something after a day.
Zhao Liang Cai might not be a man; she couldn't move him.
