Chapter 106: Unhappy Retribution
Chapter 106: Unhappy Retribution
After Butler Tian drove the carriage away, Qu Jingyao took her brothers and others and walked towards the back mountain.
As they walked, the brother and sister told him what happened in the town today.
"Well, now that we have the house, it will be much more convenient for Xiaoyang and the others to go to school. You can make the decision on these matters. I will take care of the family matters."
Qu Qingchen spoke to her with a smile, and reminded Xiaoyang and the other person to be careful about everything in the town.
"Brother, we...we can't help much..."
Qu Qingchen touched his shoulder and smiled soothingly, telling them not to think too much, and that their academic success in the future would be the greatest help to the family.
It will depend on them later.
"Brother, we understand."
The brothers and sisters quickly returned to the valley.
From afar, smoke could be seen rising from the courtyard, and the busy figures of Liu and the young aunt in the yard could be seen clearly.
"Mom!" Xiaoyang and his brother ran quickly towards the yard.
Behind them, Qu Jingyao and his sister shook their heads and laughed.
"Brother, I'll leave the house building and land reclamation to you and Uncle Village Head. The wasteland needs to be reclaimed as soon as possible. If you don't have enough manpower, find some. I need to plant cotton as soon as possible."
Qu Qingchen nodded.
After returning to the courtyard, Qu Jingyao was pulled by her aunt to the main house.
Seeing her aunt acting mysteriously, she blinked in confusion.
"Yaoyao, look!"
The aunt took out a piece of embroidery, this...
"Aunt, you didn't sleep all night? How did you finish this pattern so quickly?"
Yue Niang explained that it was not that she didn't sleep, but she liked the pattern very much. Last night, she suddenly wanted to see how it would look like when embroidered, so she forgot the time.
While Qu Jingyao was persuading her aunt not to endure this in the future, she was surprised at how good her embroidery skills were.
"Auntie, you embroider so well."
Yue Niang smiled and said that her parents had hired a master to teach her needlework since she was a child.
She suddenly realized that this was the case. Her aunt's embroidery skills were not inferior to those of the famous artists in town!
"Aunt, I want to open an embroidery workshop in the future."
Yue Niang didn't expect that this girl was so ambitious, but it seemed that this girl was not an ordinary person and would fly out of this mountain valley sooner or later.
"Okay, little aunt believes you can do well, and we will help you together."
Liu was calling the two of them. It was getting late outside and the food on the stove was ready.
"Come on, little aunt, let's go eat first."
Yue Niang told her to ask Bai Guo to come to the room in the evening and take away two new quilts.
She and her sister-in-law both finished sewing it today.
"okay, I get it."
At the dinner table, Qu Jingyao told her mother about Old Lady Xu's family, and also told her what she knew about her father's life experience.
It would have been better if she hadn't said that. After she finished speaking, Liu and Yue Niang were surprised that the Qu family was so bold. This could cost them their lives...
"But we have no witnesses, and Dad is gone."
With a crisp "snap" sound, the chopsticks in Qu Qingchen's hand were broken.
"They deserve to die!" he said gritting his teeth, the hatred in his eyes clearly visible.
Qu Jingyao sighed and comforted everyone, saying that they could leave this matter to her. Since they could not be punished by the law, she would do it.
She told a few people about the recent events of the Wu family, which she had a hand in. As for the eldest young master of the Wu family, it was just a coincidence. She didn't expect that he died before she could take any action.
"Serves him right, it's retribution!" The Xiaochen brothers felt so angry when they thought about what the damn man had done to his sister.
Yue Niang pursed her lips into a line, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her fiery eyes said it all.
At this moment, Liu's red lips trembled slightly, and tears rolled down her red eyes.
She felt sorry for her husband, who had worked like a slave for the Qu family for half his life, only to end up with nothing left...
"Mom, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be sad. Don't worry, I'll get everything back."
The meal ended early and everyone was in a heavy mood.
"Yaoyao, go back and rest first. Your mother and I are here, don't worry."
Yue Niang patted the back of her hand understandingly.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad, but their lives had to go on, and their children still needed them...
Qu Jingyao took a deep breath, and finally turned around and left the main room helplessly.
The reason why she explained all this to her mother today was that she didn't want them to be kept in the dark and be timid every time they faced the Qu family.
Qu Jingyao returned to the backyard room, sat down weakly on the couch, and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Master, let me give you a massage."
Bai Guo came to her side and gently pressed his hand on her forehead.
The master has been really tired recently, with so many things coming at once, and she is just a teenager.
"squeak"
"It's a mouse. I'll go chase it away." Bai Guo frowned when she saw a gray mouse barking at the window.
Qu Jingyao quickly looked up and waved to stop her.
"No, put it in."
Baiguo thought he had misheard until his master repeated it again.
When she opened the window, the little mouse quickly jumped into the house.
Qu Jingyao looked at the little mouse squeaking on the ground, and a smile soon appeared on her originally serious face.
"Hahaha... Great! Retribution."
"Baiguo, take some of the food from the jar on the dressing table and give it to it as a reward. Let it eat it before you leave."
Baiguo didn't know why her master was so happy, but as long as her master was happy, she was happy. She walked to the dressing table, grabbed a handful of food, came to the little mouse, and put it on the ground.
She was surprised to see excitement in the mouse...
Could it be that she saw it wrong?
When I looked again, I saw the little thing burying itself in the handful of food and eating it happily.
The corners of her mouth twitched...
"Master, do you really understand animal language?"
Qu Jingyao raised the corners of her lips and nodded with a half-smile.
Baiguo's eyes suddenly widened, he covered his mouth with his hand, and stared at his master in disbelief.
Qu Jingyao did not hide it from her and asked with a smile, didn’t she say it a long time ago?
"Ah? I thought my master was teasing me..." Baiguo's voice became smaller and smaller.
Qu Jingyao told her not to make this matter public.
She nodded solemnly.
If this were...
She didn't dare to think about it.
Suddenly I remembered that my master was happy just now, so I asked if it was about the Qu family?
"Well, that old man Qu Hongsen had a stroke. Is this good news?"
Then she ran her fingers across the edge of the white porcelain teacup on the coffee table, with an evil smile on the corner of her lips, and said contemptuously, I didn't expect Naqu Hongsen to be so scared, it's really not fun.
Bai Guo didn't expect that his master had already made some secret arrangements. He thought that the Qu family deserved to die and got away with it.
She suddenly thought of the cotton cloth and cotton that her master had taken out. Although she didn't dare ask about the source, she knew from her master's words that only the master had these things.
The master was worried that if he took it out, it would bring disaster to the family which had no power at all at the moment!
"Master, actually...actually, have you ever thought about cooperating with the Master or seeking support from the Master..."
