I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 124 Who Would Believe Her?

Looking at it from a different angle now, golden lotus cultivation doesn’t seem too bad.

"Comrade Qiao Qingyu, I really can’t thank you enough."

"Station Chief Meng, let’s not thank each other anymore. We should be supporting each other."

"Right, right, right, we’re all about mutual support."

Then, Meng, with his loud voice, said, "You have our phone number, don’t you? Feel free to call anytime you need something. If you can’t come, I’ll have someone mail it to you."

Qiao Qingyu beamed with gratitude at Station Chief Meng, then wrote down the key points for golden lotus cultivation on a piece of paper and handed it to him.

She believed that by autumn, that field of golden lotus might just be the most beautiful scenery on the grasslands.

After finishing up, Qiao Qingyu drove back with Qiao Tianbao and Qiao Shengbao.

By the time they got home, it was nearly midnight.

Niu Guili hurried to make food for Qiao Qingyu.

"Big sister-in-law, don’t bother, we had dinner in the evening. Please, go rest and don’t wake up Feifei and Doudou."

Qiao Genbao frowned, "Qingyu, how come you seem even more tired now that you’re married than when you were at home? Isn’t He Xiuyu taking care of you?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Big brother, don’t worry about me. This is my own business. Besides, you all didn’t want me to spend the He family’s money, right?"

Qiao Genbao, "..."

"You always had a way with words that left people speechless, just like before. Alright, alright, go get some rest. You’ve always been so headstrong; since you were little, who could ever tell you what to do?"

Qiao Qingyu winked at Niu Guili and then cheerfully went to wash up.

To be honest, the conditions of the Qiao Family Team were really not that great.

Whether it was going to the toilet or taking a shower, it wasn’t convenient.

But since she had grown up here, her body naturally adjusted after returning.

So she quickly washed up and lay down to sleep.

...

Meanwhile, in the neighboring village, a light still shone from a thatched hut at the entrance of the village.

Qiao Zhicai had skillful hands; a large bundle of willow branches lay on the kang, and he was weaving willow baskets.

Although the willow baskets couldn’t be sold on his own anymore, the supply and marketing co-op had recently started to purchase them for three dimes each.

He could make three a day, which meant ninety cents.

His hands never stopped moving, nor did his mouth, while Han Xianglan, draped in clothing, leaned against the wall, still holding the letter that Qiao Qingyu had written to them. She was daydreaming, her eyes vacant, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

"Xianglan, stop being stubborn. She’s our daughter after all. She’s been wanting to come see us ever since she got back, afraid of upsetting you, so she hasn’t dared. I heard from Genbao that she’s been secretly crying several times. You should be happy that our Qingyubao has grown up. Look at what our daughter has been doing. Not to mention the Qiao Family Team, but throughout Ning’an County, which girl can achieve what our Qingyubao has?

"Zhao Daju, Li Er Ya, including Accountant Zhang’s wife, and those from the Zhu family, your girl has all these people wrapped around her finger.

"Now in the village, your old sisters are all going to your big sister-in-law to inquire about you.

"They thought that this would offend those four families from now on, but who would have thought that everyone is now overwhelmingly warm towards them.

"Qingyubao also established a Breeding Laboratory. She’s now a public servant too. Those gastrodia seeds and the red flower in her lab, they say that with good care, one mu of hillside land can net 500 yuan.

"This is adding an income source for our community members.

"The person that Big Brother admires the most now is our Qingyubao. When he praises her, you have no idea how proud I am."

"Your body has gradually gotten better, and it’s time we headed back home," Qiao Zhicai said as he put down the willow branch and wiped away a tear, his voice somewhat choked with emotion. "I thought our Qingyubao would forever remain muddled and confused, but who would have thought that there are benefits to getting married too. Let’s accept it, perhaps it’s all arranged by fate. Besides, I can’t always be taking leave. With the work in the fields piling up and not a single public grain in sight, what are we going to eat at the end of the year?"

Han Xianglan slowly closed her eyes.

She knew everything that had happened at the Qiao Family Team, even while being here.

She was a person with an exceedingly delicate and sensitive mind.

It was said that at the age of four, her parents sold her to Granny He for a large silver coin.

Before being sold to Granny He, she was always sick.

Thus, she had no impressions of her so-called parents, especially since a four-year-old child, even without a fever-addled brain, would not necessarily remember anything before that age.

Moreover, because of the fever, she did indeed have poor memory for about two years, and her speech was also stammering.

Granny He initially thought she had bought a fool, and if it weren’t for her beautiful appearance, she might have been discarded long ago.

But after she recovered from her illness, Granny He abandoned that thought.

Luckily, Mr. He and Brother Xiao Shan were good people.

Mr. He treated her like his own daughter, and Brother Xiao Shan treated her like a younger sister.

Even so, she lived very cautiously.

She was intelligent, adept at observing and pandering to people’s preferences and dislikes.

She had once read a book which stated that her type of personality was categorized as a "people-pleaser."

This was probably inseparable from her childhood experiences.

After all, during the time she lived with the He family, Granny He had initially wanted to cast her into the forest, but eventually, she sold her for a bag of coarse rice instead.

Having such a personality did not seem strange to her.

And it wasn’t a big deal; being kind to others was always better than being malicious.

Because she had such a sensitive nature and due to the mother-daughter bond, she was the first to notice something was off with her daughter.

Her daughter fell into the river by accident at the age of fourteen, and after being rescued, she noticed a drastic change in her demeanor.

Even if her demeanor had changed, it was said to be just puberty, plus possibly the shock that might have caused it.

But her daughter, despite her spoiled and merciless tongue, ruling over the village with a high hand, was someone who made sense.

Her speech was coherent.

She didn’t speak nonsense or act foolishly, nor did her eyes change after one incident of drowning.

Her daughter’s eyes were so clear you could see right to the bottom.

But they had become as murky as muddy water.

Before receiving that letter, her heart was in turmoil, hesitant, but after receiving it, she became sure that this daughter was no longer her own.

After getting that letter, she spent many nights sleepless.

Every time she closed her eyes, she could see a finely carved little girl, stretching out her small hands and calling out for her mother...

She was furious, not knowing from where a wandering spirit had possessed her daughter’s body, but who could she tell such things to, fearing even to speak to the closest one, Qiao Zhicai.

And even if she told anyone, who would believe her? They would likely think she had gone mad.
