Chapter 398: Unexpected Visitor Qiao Lian'er
The two sisters-in-law quickly wiped away their tears. In this case, they could not remarry, and they would have to bear the title of Song family's daughter-in-law but would not be able to eat a single meal from the Song family.
That's really worse than being a beggar.
I hate her so much in my heart. This old woman is so vicious. I just hope she dies soon so that I can become her mother-in-law and don't have to suffer like this anymore.
Look at Qiao Yunni not far away. She is surrounded by a group of village women, chatting with everyone with a smile on her face. She is wearing high-quality warm cotton and a pair of gold earrings. She is nourished and radiant, and her beautiful face is as white as a peeled eggshell.
She actually looked like she was five years younger, attracting the attention of the men in the village.
They felt a pang of jealousy.
Qiao Yunni has a new identity, but she is still the same as before, without any airs.
She grew up with many villagers, and simple and sincere ideas are deeply rooted in her heart. She also knows the hardships of farmers, and even though her status is different, she can still be close to everyone.
As a result, the villagers like Qiao Yunni more.
Qin Bu stood in the distance. The two childhood friends who were chatting with him glanced at Qiao Yunni from time to time and gave him suggestive looks.
In the last battle with the Kuiniu Kingdom, Qin Bu also made contributions and became a small military leader, in charge of a hundred soldiers.
Originally, he thought that he was worthy of Qiao Yunni. If he continued to work hard, made more achievements, and became a senior soldier, he would propose to her.
However, he didn't expect that she was actually the daughter of a provincial official. This widened the distance between them.
No matter how his childhood friend hinted, Qin Bu kept his eyes down and didn't look over there.
Seeing that his childhood friend was a little obvious, Qin Bu frowned again: "We can't do this, lest we tarnish Sister Yun Ni's reputation. You treat me as a brother, so don't mention this matter again."
When Qiao Yunni first started to divorce the Song family, he got carried away and acted impulsively, and later regretted it.
So, he tried not to appear in front of her.
"Brother Qin, the Qiao family is in such a strong position right now. Anyone who dares to say anything against them will be killed. I just want to ask if you have the heart to do so. If you do, then go for it."
"Yes, Brother Qin has a good appearance and is capable in the army. He will definitely rise to a higher level. It's not that he is not worthy of you."
"I don't know about the future, but I'm not worthy of it now." Qin Bu said: "I'll work hard for a few years. If I can climb up, we'll talk about it."
"After a few years, I'm afraid Miss Chu will have remarried."
Qin Bu felt a prick in his heart, but he finally smiled: "If she meets someone who is kind and capable to her, I will also wish her the best."
After the beginning of spring, the weather was sunny for several days in a row. Qiao Lianer lay on a lounge chair under the osmanthus tree to bask in the sun, with a dry dogtail grass in his mouth.
The mottled light and shadows fell on her body, and her delicate and childish face was growing up, showing the brightness and liveliness of a girl.
Although she seems to be idle, she is actually tidying up the space and wants to quickly unlock the Thousand Miles Voice Transmission function.
In this way, there is no need to wait for letters to communicate with the two brothers of the Pei family.
A few days later, a horse-drawn carriage arrived at the village entrance and drove into Datian Village.
This carriage was inconspicuous and unostentatious, but it exuded an innate nobility, attracting the attention of many villagers.
"I'm afraid it's someone the Qiao family knows." They discussed this.
"Yes, the only ones who can make friends with such a family are the Qiao family."
The carriage stopped, the door curtain opened, and a slightly overweight maid came down and asked a villager, "Brother, may I ask where the village's main house is?"
The villagers showed her the way.
"Thank you." The nanny smiled and gave him a small piece of silver.
The villager was flattered. It was too arrogant. He just asked for directions.
The carriage went straight to Zhao Lizheng's house.
The villagers looked at each other, aren't they looking for the Qiao family?
When passing the Qiao family, the car window curtain was lifted up a corner and then dropped again.
Qiao Lian'er is currently teaching Ling Yin and her two sisters how to read, and is also teaching Qiao Yunni.
As the daughter of an official, it is outrageous that she doesn't know a single word.
Qiao Yunni also studied very hard, but she was a little old when she started learning, so it was more difficult for her.
Thinking that she would have to deal with the daughters of officials and noble ladies when she arrived at the Chu family, she couldn't make a fool of herself, so she gritted her teeth and continued to study.
At worst, she could just sleep less and digest what she had learned that day.
Suddenly, Qiao Jianer felt uncomfortable and frowned.
I think it might be because she started her period. Just last month, she had her first period in this body.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Zhao Lizheng's house. A man in his early thirties got out with his clothes lifted up. He wore a green turban and dark brocade with a skylark pattern embroidered on his chest. His face was dignified without anger, and he looked like someone who was used to giving orders.
The next person who came down was also a woman in her thirties. Although she was also dressed modestly, she wore a bracelet with a very fine sheen, and her whole body exuded the temperament of someone who had been pampered for a long time.
Then there was a brother and sister. The brother looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the sister was about twelve or thirteen years old. They were both handsome, with slender figures, fair and smooth skin, and even the tiny hairs could be seen.
Zhao Lizheng happened to be at home and saw that the people who came seemed to be looking for him, but he didn't know these people.
"Sir, what are you doing——"
"Are you Zhao Lizheng?" the man asked directly.
"Exactly."
The man pulled out a document from his sleeve. "We're planning to settle in Datian Village. We've already received approval from the county government. We'd also like to ask Village Chief Zhao to allocate us a piece of residential land so we can build a house. As for farmland, if anyone is willing to sell it, we'd like to buy a few acres at a high price."
Zhao Lizheng was stunned when he heard this. It was obvious that this family was not simple. They were either rich or noble. They could have settled down in any county or city, so why did they choose Datian Village?
Moreover, when outsiders come to settle in the village, they usually come to him first. He first determines the location of their home and then reports to the county government.
However, the family went to the yamen to settle the matter before coming to inform him.
He looked at the document and confirmed that it was the county government's seal. The matter was to settle this family in Datian Village, which was true.
I couldn't help but ask one more question: "You don't look like country people, but you settled in the village. What's the reason?"
Exiled, that's unlikely, or perhaps taking refuge early? The latter is possible.
He wanted to find out more so as not to bring trouble to Datian Village and be accused of harboring criminals.
"I've already explained the reasons to the county government, so I can't disclose them publicly. Don't worry, it's not what you think."
"Please ask Zhao Lizheng to follow the procedure."
Zhao Lizheng took another good look at the document. This family also had the surname Qiao. There was a household registration certificate attached to the document, which contained all the basic population information.
After glancing at their names, he felt a slight chill in his heart and raised his head.
The girl in front of me is called Qiao Lian'er.
