Chapter 750: 750 care for wife
“Next time, tell them to eat more meat, and not to always think of me.” She thought for a moment and said, “From now on, my second brother won’t sell the prey he hunts. We’ll keep it for ourselves.”
“I will tell them.” He agreed verbally, but in his heart, he knew that the second and third brothers still cared deeply for their wife.
She remembered, “It seems like the roe deer and two wild chickens my second brother hunted yesterday haven’t been handled yet. With this heat, it will spoil if left overnight.”
“My second brother took care of them last night,” Qinghe said, “The meat has already been salted in a jar.”
Qingyue nodded, “That’s good.”
After breakfast, Li Wangshi, the wife of Li Yibao from next door, entered the Xiao Family’s courtyard. Seeing Su Qingyue taking a hoe and about to leave, she said, “Wife of the Xiao Family, I’ve heard that you couldn’t afford to buy any furniture for your new house. Your family only has three days left to rent My family’s room to store the dried ferns, and when it’s time to renew the lease, don’t fall behind on the rent money.”
Su Qingyue’s mouth twitched, “Aunt Li, don’t worry. We’ve sold all of the dried ferns. My second brother and third brother loaded up the cart and took them to the town early this morning. There were several thousand jin stored in your rented room, and we’ll move them out within three days. We won’t renew the lease after it’s expired.”
“All that sold at once?” Li Wangshi was shocked, “I thought your family’s dried ferns would take ten to eight years to sell, and I had planned to rent out my vacant room to you for a long time.”
“Hehe, no need.”
“Who did you sell it to? How much was it per jin?” Li Wangshi inquired.
Su Qingyue didn’t say much, “We did make some money selling it, not much.” Having said that, she left the yard carrying her hoe.
Big Mixed Fur rushed over when he saw his owner from afar, wagging his tail at her.
Su Qingyue touched its wolf-like head, “Mixed Fur, have you eaten?”
Xiao Qinghe came out in his wheelchair, “It ate the pheasant it caught yesterday on its own.”
“That’s good.” she said, “I’m going to plant vegetables in the field of our new house.”
Big Mixed Fur wanted to follow its owner, but it had to guard the rented storage room, so it went there instead.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Li Wangshi also left the Xiao Family’s courtyard.
Su Qingyue carried her hoe to the yard of the new house and pushed the door to enter. She found many fresh footprints in the courtyard. The footprints left by the workers they had hired before had been cleaned up.
These footprints did not belong to the Xiao Family members.
That meant that other people had entered the new house.
And there were quite a few of them.
It was normal for villagers to be curious about a newly built house and come to see what was going on. Since the door of her new house was unlocked, those who wanted to see probably just pushed the door and entered themselves.
Although the new house was empty and devoid of furniture and anyone could enter, she still didn’t like it.
Estimating the time, she had to ask her second and third brothers to buy thirteen locks when they returned from delivering the goods. They would lock the twelve room doors in the new house and then need one more lock for the courtyard door.
As she looked around, she noticed that not only were there many footprints on the ground, but there were even a few footprints on the wall. It was really annoying.
It was one thing for the villagers to be curious and enter her house, but it was entirely different for them to kick her walls.
If it had been children acting naughty out of ignorance, that would be fine. But the size of the footprints clearly indicated that they belonged to adults.
It seemed that some people were jealous of her new house and deliberately kicked the walls. There were always such envious and base people.
With that thought, she went back home and asked her fourth brother to tell her second and third brothers to buy the locks next time they went to town to deliver the goods.
