Chapter 8 This woman has no good intentions

   Potatoes are a home-cooked dish in modern times.

  It is very inclusive.

  I heard that there is a place where potatoes can be used to make a potato feast, a total of one hundred and eight dishes.

  Although Joey doesn't know how to cook so many dishes, it's not a problem to cook more than ten or twenty dishes.

  However, now Qiao Yi is a smart woman who can't live without rice.

   Without the two most important things, oil and salt, no matter what you make, it will not taste good.

   Looking at the Chinese cabbage growing happily in the vegetable field, Qiao Yi had an idea.

  She traded Chinese cabbage for salt.

   You don’t need too much, just a handful.

  I will go to the county town tomorrow to sell the little rabbits and mushrooms, and I am bringing some crayfish meat to sell, so I should be able to exchange some money.

   At that time, let's see what is lacking in the county and what price it is, so she can do some small business.

  Days can’t go on like this forever, can they?

  Having an idea, Joey did what he wanted.

  Plucked two Chinese cabbages and let Xiaoxue look after the house, regardless of whether she heard it or not, she just left.

   After Qiaoyi came to the village with Chinese cabbage in her arms, she felt worried.

  Where does she go to change the salt?

  She doesn't know any of them.

   Just as Joey was struggling, a somewhat old female voice sounded.

   "It's Qiao Yi, the wife of the four brothers of the Mu family at the head of the village, right?"

   It may seem doubtful, but the tone is beyond doubt.

   "Hi, I'm Joey."

  She didn't say that she was the wife-head of the Mu brothers, and the people who came didn't care.

   "Just like the Mu brothers, just call me Grandma Mu."

  Grandma Mu looked at Qiao Yi with love in her eyes.

  Qiao Yi was kind and gracious, and called Grandma Mu.

   "What are you going to do?"

  The Mu brothers have no relatives in the village. So she couldn't figure out what Joey was going to do.

   "I don't have any salt at home. I'm thinking of using two Chinese cabbages to see if I can replace it with a little salt." Qiao Yi scratched her head in embarrassment.

   She was a little embarrassed to say such a shameful thing.

  The poor have no salt at all, even when they were the poorest in modern times, they could not afford to eat salt.

   "Come to my house." Grandma Mu said.

   "Hey, thank you, Grandma Mu." Qiao Yi sincerely thanked her.

  It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in a timely manner.

  For her, this is a timely gift, and she will definitely repay Grandma Mu well in the future.

   "Look at what you said, I watched the Mu family brothers grow up. They are so good and sensible, and they can't be worse than wives. Their brothers have suffered too much. Alas, they are all hard-fated children."

  Grandma Mu sighed and led the way.

   Arriving at the door of Grandma Mu's house, Qiao Yi didn't enter as she saw that she was cooking inside.

   Seeing this, Grandma Mu didn't force it.

   "Ru'er, take a handful of salt and bring me two pieces of yellow flour pancakes."

  Grandma Mu shouted into the yard.

"okay."

   Soon, a woman who looked quite bold came out.

   Looking at the woman who was about 1.75 meters in front of her and could hold two of her own, Qiao Yi took a step back.

  Her waist is not as thick as her legs.

   "Grandma, here are the pancakes and salt."

  Mu Ru nodded at Qiao Yi, and then talked to Grandma Mu.

   "Give it to Yiyi girl."

   "Sister Yi, take it." Mu Ru smiled honestly at Qiao Yi.

   "Thank you." Joey bowed deeply to the two.

   Then he passed the cabbage in his hand to Mu Ru, and then he took the pancakes and salt.

   "It happens that my family has no food to eat. With this cabbage, we can have a good meal."

  Mu Ru was also polite, and took the cabbage boldly.

   "By the way, tomorrow I will drive an ox cart to the county seat, do you want to go?"

  After the question, Mu Ru seemed to have thought of something, with a look of embarrassment. After that, he seemed to look at Grandma Mu for help.

  Qiao Yi's family is very poor, and she even asked him to go to the county seat to see her bad memory.

   "I caught a few little rabbits today, and I just plan to go to the county seat tomorrow. With an ox cart like my sister, I can relax a lot."

  Joy said with a smile.

   She has received the kindness of the two, and she will bury her gratitude in her heart.

  When she has the ability, she will definitely repay.

  Seeing that Qiao Yi didn't mind, Mu Ru smiled.

   "Well, go to the county seat and pass by your door, and I will call you when the time comes."

   "Well, Grandma Mu, I'll go back first."

"go Go."

   After saying goodbye to the two, Qiao Yi walked back all the way.

  Looking at the two pieces of golden-yellow pancakes, I feel warm in my arms and warm in my heart.

  When I got home, I saw Mu Qing sitting on a chair with a pale face.

  Joy, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled blood.

  Placing the yellow flour pancakes and salt on the table, Qiao Yi frowned and looked at Mu Qing.

"injured?"

  Mu Qing pursed her thin lips tightly.

   "Where does it hurt?"

  Joy asked patiently.

   "Nothing, minor injury."

   Just when Qiao Yi thought that Mu Qing would not speak, he spoke.

   This seems to be the first time I heard Mu Qing speak.

  Because there is no Mu Qing's voice in memory.

  Mu Qing's voice is beautiful, ethereal and pleasant, with a hint of coolness.

"Let me see."

  Mu Qing wanted to refuse, but the image of Qiao Yi beating herself came to mind.

   His body trembled uncontrollably, and a fright flashed in his eyes.

  Qiaoyi didn't notice it, thinking that Mu Qing was shaking in pain, and looked at the sleeves that were already soaked in blood.

   There is no need to exert any force at all, just a "tear" sound, and the sleeves are broken.

  Joy held half of a sleeve, with a look of embarrassment.

   "I didn't mean that."

  Mu Qing just stared blankly at Qiao Yi's hand holding the sleeve.

   "I really didn't mean to."

  Joy smiled wryly.

  Why is she so strong? Obviously no effort.

  When he saw the three deep wounds on Mu Qing's arm, he couldn't care less about it.

"Wolf?"

  Mu Qing nodded.

   "You are lucky to have survived."

  Qiao Yi had to admire Mu Qing's life.

   You must know that wolves are pack animals.

  Mu Qing can come back, is it not fate?

"Do not say."

   Qiao Yi raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

   then nodded.

  Mu Qing didn't want Mu Yun and the others to worry.

   But is this thing enough? After all, the wound is so deep.

   Seeing that Mu Qing's wound had been treated and herbal medicine was applied on it, Qiao Yi still asked worriedly.

   "Do you want to see a doctor?"

   "Rich?"

"Forehead…"

   Well, pretend she didn't say it.

  At this moment, Joey saw the two pheasants on the ground.

   Seeing Mu Qing get up and turn around to go to the shed on the other side, Qiao Yi didn't say anything.

   Instead, start cooking.

  When Mu Yun and Mu Xuan who had gone to the county came back, Qiao Yi had already prepared the meal.

   A pot of mush cooked with two yellow rice flour pancakes, a few boiled potatoes, a plate of fried mushrooms and a plate of peeled and sliced ​​kiwi.

  Looking at the sumptuous dinner in front of them, several people were a little unbelievable in their eyes.

  Mu Qing doesn't know how to cook, so this meal is made by Qiao Yi.

   "This can't be eaten, are you trying to poison us in different ways every day?"

  When Mu Xuan saw the potato, the little emotion he had felt before disappeared immediately.

  He said that this woman has no good intentions and has been trying to poison them to death.

   Qiao Yi looked at the sky speechlessly.
