Chapter 37: Take the long view

Chapter 37 Long-term considerations

Peng Chunhua stared at the door with a tense expression, and said in a low voice: "Mother, you came to the door, what should I do?"

"What does she know when the door is closed? You said it's inconvenient for you to boil water for a bath."

Peng Chunhua took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down and said: "Grandma Qin, I'm here, I'm going to boil water for a bath now, so I won't entertain you, what's the matter?"

The old lady Qin thought, I can't tell the difference between the smell of water and the smell of meat? You hide and don't open the door because you are afraid that I will see rabbits stewed in your kitchen, right? She said calmly: "The rabbit cage at home is broken, I want to borrow a vise from your house to twist the wire."

Yu Feng shook her head to signal Peng Chunhua to refuse.

Peng Chunhua got the signal and said with an excuse: "The former son was borrowed by Brother Feng from the village head."

Mrs. Qin muttered, Brother Feng, which Brother Feng are you talking about.

Afraid that I would ask someone in front of my face and ask me in front of me, just talking nonsense, right?

Gritting his teeth, he said, "That's it, I won't bother you."

Old Mrs. Qin left, and the more she thought about it when she went back, the angrier she became. This neighbor is so unkind. She disdained to talk about people's merits the most, but she couldn't help telling Li Qiao about her doubts about this matter: "They must have picked up our rabbits and secretly closed the door to slaughter them and eat them."

Li Qiao was angry from the heart.

No wonder Peng Chunhua bought spices, closed the door, and stewed her rabbit together.

Too much deception!

She decided to talk to them.

Old lady Qin pulled her: "They have a lot of family members, and A Jin is not here, so we are the only ones who suffer. Besides, we didn't see it with our own eyes, so it's not appropriate to go there rashly."

Li Qiao clenched his fists: "I really can't swallow this breath."

Old Mrs. Qin: "There is no rush for this matter. It needs to be discussed in the long term. If it is not done well, it will also affect the reputation of our Qin family."

Li Qiao: "..." What is the reputation of the Qin family?

She finally listened to the old lady, because she is not good at quarreling, and she can't let go of her figure.

Where can they be the opponents of the girls of the Feng family? She had to think of a better way to deal with it.

Li Qiao secretly observed the movements of the Feng family.

When it was dark, I saw Yu Feng sneaking towards the back of the house with a bag of things.

She pretended to go to the latrine and followed.

It was seen that Yu Feng threw the things in his hand into the cesspool.

"Auntie, what are you throwing?"

Yu Feng turned around in shock: "Ah! My mother, you scared me to death."

Li Qiao: "You don't need to call me mother."

Yu Feng was stunned for a moment, then furious: "Well, you **** girl, you took advantage of me, believe it or not, I will teach you a lesson for Ah Jin?"

Li Qiao said calmly, "I'm afraid he won't appreciate it."

Yu Feng's two goldfish eyes quickly popped out: "I'll tell your grandma to go."

Li Qiao said indifferently: "Say it." Grandma would never scold her for outsiders, otherwise Qin Jin would not be used to being a bum.

Yu Feng tossed her hair, angrily walked away quickly.

Li Qiao found a stick with a flashlight, endured nausea, and fiddled with the paper bag in the cesspool, which contained a pile of bones. She had eaten spicy rabbit heads, and knew what a rabbit skull looked like. She looked through it and was sure there was a rabbit skull.

Her family lost a rabbit this morning.

The neighbor next door ate rabbit meat at noon, the evidence is solid!

When she got home, she first asked Mrs. Qin if Yu Feng next door had ever been to the house.

Getting a negative answer, Li Qiao recounted what happened just now.

Old lady Qin spit: "After eating our rabbit, you dare not come to the door. It would be great if you can find the skin of the rabbit, take it out and ask Ah Jin to settle the score with them."

Li Qiao had an idea: "A Jin has a brother, Liu Er, who often collects fur secretly. The fur of that rabbit is estimated to be worth two yuan. They will keep it and sell it?"

"Those cronies, they used to come here often, but they came less often after they got married. They know each other next door. Even if they want to sell, they will have concerns."

Li Qiao: "Liu Er always knows his colleagues, right?"

Li Qiao pursed his lips and smiled.

The next morning, Li Qiao and Mrs. Qin found Liu Er together.

As soon as Liu Er heard what happened, he immediately yelled to bring his brothers to copy the guy to settle accounts with the Feng family.

Bullying the old and the weak, women and children, what kind of hero is he?

Old lady Qin hurriedly persuaded him before he gave up the idea.

Following what the old lady said, she immediately found someone to enter the village to collect the fur.

In order to sell the Feng family's fur smoothly, Li Qiao and the old lady made a special trip to the town's market.

This is the first time for Li Qiao to go to a rural market.

Although business is not allowed now.

But daily necessities are allowed to be bought and sold, such as bamboo baskets, bamboo mats, steamers

Those who are courageous will sell their own snacks to passers-by.

Entering the supply and marketing cooperatives, the types of goods increase, such as dishes, thermos bottles, porcelain basins, quilts, clothes

"Li Qiao."

A deep and rough voice called out.

Li Qiao turned her head, she saw a completely unfamiliar face, and her facial features were fairly straight. She was about 1.7 meters tall, neither fat nor thin. She subconsciously said, "Who are you? How do you know me?"

"Hey! I have been a high school classmate for three years and you ask me who I am."

Li Qiao: "." It's over! She was completely unimpressed. She glanced at the old lady vainly, and then said with a smile: "It's you, I'm tired from studying recently, maybe I'm short-sighted, and I couldn't see clearly all at once."

"Study? Do you want to repeat? I heard that you married Qin Erliuzi. Is it true? He still lets you study?"

The old lady Qin is extremely embarrassed, the reputation of the brat and the **** has spread to the town! Let her wait and see!

Li Qiao cleared his throat: "Really, from now on in front of me, I have to call Qin Jin."

The young man said with a look of regret: "Hey! It's cheap for him."

Li Qiao: What does "." mean? Have a crush on the original owner? "It's not cheap, it's not buying and selling items. Are you here to go to the market?"

"I work here, and my family arranged for it. Do you have anything to buy?"

Li Qiao became more active, motioned him to the side, and then whispered: "Do you accept hand-woven products here?"

"Hand-knitted? What kind?"

Li Qiao: "The shape of the vase, I'll show it to you when school starts tomorrow, and let me know if you accept it."

"It's easy to say."

"Gao Dagang."

"Hey, here we come." The young man smiled at Li Qiao: "I'm busy, I want to buy something and find me, I'll give you a cheaper price."

Li Qiao responded and said in his heart, your name is Gao Dagang.

After visiting the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Qiao and Mrs. Qin bought toothpaste, toothbrush, soap towel and other supplies and went home.

Liu Er was already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Meet the two and take out the fur from the cloth bag.

Old lady Qin and Li Qiao recognized at a glance that it was the gray rabbit at home.

The two gritted their teeth in hatred.

"I'll give you how much money." Mrs. Qin said.

"It's not worth the money. I was drunk the other day. If Qin Er hadn't sent me home, I would have froze to death by the side of the road."

Li Qiao was a little surprised, it turned out that what he said that day was true.

"One yard is one yard, how much money you have to charge, otherwise I won't be able to talk to you next time." Mrs. Qin said without doubt.

The last skin cost 50 cents.

Old lady Qin touched the rabbit fur, planning to make a leather glove for Li Qiao.

After the grandparents and Liu Er separated, they discussed for a while and decided to give the Feng family some flair first.

"Qiao Qiao, do you have any good ideas?" Mrs. Qin thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an idea.
