?Didn?t you used to hang out with that girl? Why can?t you coax her now? Has she become smarter??

There was a threatening tone in his voice, as if he would beat her up any second.

The sons of the Qiao family all glared angrily at Qiao Yu.

In the past, the two girls used to hang out together and it was also Qiao Yu who spread those rumors about Qiao Mei to give her a bad reputation. How did Qiao Mei become one of the few smart people in the village now?

Something was wrong!

This Qiao Yu must be hiding something from them.

At the thought of this, Qiao Fu strode over and raised his fist to smash Qiao Yu?s face.

Qiao Yu got so scared that the color drained from her face and she dropped the bowl in her hand.

?Qiao Fu, come back!?

Qiao Zhuang sat on the stool and waited for Qiao Fu to go over before he started to speak softly. Qiao Fu stood at the door and glared at her indignantly before turning around and walking back.

Qiao Yu was still in a state of shock but the next moment, she heard Qiao Zhuang say, ?I?ll give you another chance. In the future, try your best to build a good relationship with Qiao Mei and get more information from her. Then bring more things home as our family still needs more food.?

Qiao Yu could not help but nod vigorously. ?Okay, okay, okay. I know, I know, father??

Her back was covered in cold sweat and she felt cold when the wind blew at her.

?

Early the next morning, Qiao Mei instructed Xiao Liu?s assistants to carry the bean sprouts onto the truck.

Huffing and puffing, they quickly loaded the truck with the goods.

Xiao Liu got into the truck, waved to Qiao Mei and drove off with all his assistants.

Seeing these people coming and going these few days, the villagers nearby had been itching to know what they were doing.

Auntie Dong happened to pass by with her basket.

She craned her neck to look at the departing truck with a puzzled expression on her face.

Qiao Mei was still at the door when Auntie Dong walked up and asked, ?Mei Mei, I?ve seen this truck going in and out these past few days. What are they transporting??

A few of the older women nearby also surrounded Qiao Mei.

?It?s bean sprouts!? Qiao Mei said loudly and started to explain to the people around her. ?My grandfather?s comrades know that I can grow bean sprouts, so they have asked me to grow some for them. This will provide them with a different kind of vegetable.?

Helping to grow bean sprouts!

If she was helping, it would mean that she was not being paid.

If the people in the village knew that she could earn one to two thousand dollars a day, wouldn?t she be eaten alive?

She would no longer be able to enjoy a peaceful life in the village.

?Oh!? Realization dawned on everyone.

In the current day and age, vegetables were all collected from the various production brigades. There were not many varieties of vegetables, so it was normal for people to get tired of eating the same few types.

Given that it was sent to the city, that was normal too.

Hearing this, Auntie Dong asked coyly, ?Mei Mei, auntie wants to ask if auntie can learn how to make bean sprouts from you??

When the other women gathering around heard this, they also looked at Qiao Mei eagerly.

In this season, if one could use green beans to grow some bean sprouts, it would definitely make a nice dish at home.

Qiao Mei hesitated when she saw the expectant gazes of the women around her.

It was not that she was unwilling to teach them, but even if she taught them the method and went through the steps thoroughly with them, they did not have the energy to grow such good quality bean sprouts.

When that happened and if they misunderstood it as she was unwilling to teach them properly, the loss would outweigh the gains of her efforts.

But if she did not teach them, the situation would be even worse.

?Aunties, I don?t know how to teach. If you don?t mind me being unable to express myself well, then come in and take a look!?

Qiao Mei led them into the courtyard and spoke to them.

?Okay, okay!?

Auntie Dong felt an instant sense of happiness and could not help walking in. If Qiao Mei could teach her while actually doing it, she would definitely learn it quickly.

The other aunties looked happy as well.

Then, more people gathered outside the courtyard. These were all the women and their daughters-in-law from the village.

?Alright, come over here everyone!?

Qiao Mei spoke to the people outside the courtyard.
