"Girl Qingyao, you are right not to live with that family, but it is not a problem if you live in a cave for a long time. How about you come to live with my aunt?"
Ji Qingyao looked up and saw that it was getting late, so she had no choice but to reject Jiang's kindness and explained her purpose.
When Mrs. Jiang heard that Ji Qingyao was going to buy land to build her own house, she was so shocked that she could put an egg in her mouth.
"Uncle, you also know my situation. It's impossible to live in Pei Linyun's house temporarily. It's not possible to live in a cave forever as my aunt said. So I have to trouble my uncle to help me handle this matter. I bought the homestead and the fields. I have to trouble my uncle to help me get the red deed." Ji Qingyao didn't hesitate and directly told where the homestead and fields to be purchased were located.
It was already getting late and I couldn't see clearly even after I arrived. Finally, the two of them discussed that they would look at the ground first thing in the morning and then talk about it later.
Ji Qingyao declined the village chief's wife's offer to stay overnight, and asked the village chief and the villagers to say hello and not to spread the news about her killing a tiger. Dai Ningyuan understood the key point immediately after thinking about it. This girl didn't want the news to spread. Go to Dahe Village.
Pei Mingche said it was a small matter and just let Ji Qingyao rest assured.
After Ji Qingyao finished explaining the matter, he said goodbye to the two of them, picked up the basket on his back and walked towards the cave halfway up the mountain.
Just kidding, how could she stay overnight at the village chief's house? There were so many boys in his family. If she agreed to stay at the village chief's house tonight, there would be rumors about her in the whole village tomorrow.
The most important thing is that she accepted the money from the man in black. No matter what, she must be worthy of the money. Thinking of the man in black, her steps became two points faster.
Mrs. Jiang still looked dazed until Ji Qingyao left. She turned around mechanically and looked at her husband: "Master, why do I feel so unreal? I have a little girl who came to the village for the second time." You can buy land and build a house in heaven, but you said what that girl Qingyao just said was just teasing you."
Pei Ningyuan sighed helplessly and said slowly: "You have forgotten that the child killed a tiger this morning. I guess she must have taken the tiger to the county town and sold it when she came back so late."
Pei Ningyuan looked at his wife's confused look and could only continue to explain: "That tiger can be sold for at least a few hundred taels of silver. I'm not at home today. If I were at home, I could take her to the Yamen and get a reward of fifty taels. It’s not surprising that she can buy land and build a house just with the money from selling tigers.”
"Head of the house, you said they were all raised by the same parents. Why is this girl Qingyao so powerful? She can hunt down prey by herself?" Mrs. Jiang unconsciously envied Ji Qingyao's parents.
Pei Ningyuan drank two glasses of wine tonight because of the good food on the table. Hearing his wife's words, he thought about how Ji Qingyao will let Xiaoxi Village live in the future. The child is really pitiful. Although he is the village head, after all It's because the man didn't want to come forward for some things, so he let his wife know some things about Ji Qingyao and took care of the child.
Thinking about the news he accidentally learned when he went to the county town today, he looked at his wife: "Hey, what do you know? You just saw that Yao girl is capable of hunting. She was forced to do it by life. Let us Wan'er goes hunting like a Yao girl to make a living. You can eat the prey she hunts with peace of mind."
After hearing Pei Ningyuan's words, Mrs. Jiang thought about the daughter she held in her hand, facing the snakes, insects, rats and ants going up the mountain alone, and she shivered with fear, not to mention facing jackals, tigers and leopards.
Normally, she would feel distressed for a long time if her daughter or granddaughter accidentally bumped into her. No matter how poor her family was, she would not be willing to bear the pain of her own children, whether they were boys or girls.
After Pei Ningyuan said this, Jiang knew something was wrong. Ji Qingyao was a girl after all. She was not even sixteen years old this year. Why did she have such a good job of hunting? She had heard from her husband last night It seems that Tiyao girl's father is still a master of civil engineering.
"Ms. sir, what do you know?" Ms. Jiang knew that she was stupid, and she didn't want to guess anymore.
Pei Ningyuan looked up at the night sky, took a sip of tea, and told Mr. Jiang the news he had learned.
He went to the county town today to apply for Ji Qingyao's household registration. Unexpectedly, he met the village chief of Dahe Village. The two started chatting, and he found out something about Ji Qingyao by making some insinuations.
After listening, Pei Ningyuan secretly cursed Ji Xiuwen in his heart for not being a scholar or a father, for not caring about his own daughter being so abused by his wife.
Why does the village chief of Dahe Village know about Ji Qingyao? First, the village chief’s family lives close to Ji’s family, only two meters apart. Second, the village chief’s daughter often went up the mountain with Ji Qingyao before she got married, but Ji Zhihai My daughter went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.
The two are similar in age. Ji Zhihai's daughter Ji Qingyue has a cheerful personality. She is close to Ji Qingyao, and she will naturally know what happened to Ji Qingyao after going back and forth.
