Chapter 176: Cleaning up the Qiao family, reasonable rewards!
Chidong County, Qiao Family.
This morning, the servants of the Qiao family got up early and cleaned the house.
In fact, it was not only the servants who got up early, but also the head of the Qiao family, Qiao Anbang.
"Clean carefully. Look at that corner. Is there still some dirt?"
“I don’t know where this dirt came from.”
"And you, didn't I tell you to change the water in all the water tanks in the yard?"
"Why haven't you changed yet?"
"Now hurry up and change the water in these tanks, and then put some fish in them."
......
The whole yard was filled with the sound of Qiao Bei directing his servants to do things.
"Uncle Qiao, what are you doing? It's not New Year's Day, why are you making them busy?" Qiao Linwei said after walking into the yard.
"Miss, today is the day that Commander Zhou comes to propose marriage, so of course we have to clean the yard."
"Otherwise, if Commander Zhou saw our yard in such a mess, wouldn't that be a disgrace to our Qiao family?"
After hearing what Qiao Linwei said, Qiao Bei hurriedly walked to Qiao Linwei and said.
In fact, everything Qiao Bei did was arranged by Qiao Anbang.
As early as yesterday after Sun Chu left the Qiao family, the Qiao family started cleaning the yard.
There are just some places that haven't been cleaned yet.
After all, the Qiao family’s yard is very large, and they don’t have much time left.
"Where's the mess in the yard? I think it's fine now."
"Besides, Wei Min doesn't care about this, and Uncle Sun and Father will be talking in the main courtyard later."
"Uncle Sun and Wei Min will not come to this courtyard anymore."
After hearing what Qiao Bei said, Qiao Linwei smiled bitterly, and then slowly spoke to Qiao Bei.
The house has been busy since yesterday. Qiao Linwei even thought that the family was busy because the Japanese were going to attack Chidong County!
I didn't expect that the house was undergoing a thorough cleaning.
Qiao Linwei knew without a second thought that this must be her father's intention, and only a father who cared about his reputation would do this.
In fact, in Qiao Linwei's opinion, it would be enough to just tidy up the main courtyard a little.
As for these side yards and small courtyards, there is no need to clean them up at all.
If we try to clean so many yards in such a short time, wouldn’t that be a hassle?
"Miss, this is unpredictable. What if the son-in-law and Commander Sun want to go shopping?"
"And I heard from the master that Commander Sun will be staying at our Qiao family for the next few days."
"Commander Sun will live in our Qiao family, and those guards will definitely move in as well."
"By that time, these yards will be needed!"
After hearing what Qiao Linwei said, Qiao Bei hurriedly said to Qiao Linwei.
In fact, Qiao Bei didn't plan to clean these small courtyards originally, because he knew that Sun Chu was going to move in!
Besides, Qiao Anbang has already given the order, and Qiao Bei dare not disobey!
"Uncle Qiao, even if Uncle Sun wants to move in, he won't need so many yards. Just two small yards will be enough."
"As for Uncle Sun's guards, there aren't many of them left, only seven or eight."
"Also, I can guarantee that Wei Min and Uncle Sun will not visit our Qiao Family Compound. They don't have that much time."
"Uncle Qiao, haven't you heard that the Japanese are going to attack our Chidong County? Do you think Uncle Sun and Wei Min still have time to visit our Qiao Family Compound at this time?"
"Alright, stop torturing the servants. Uncle Qiao, do you want to tire them out in such a short time?"
"Let the servants go and rest!"
"They were busy all day yesterday and slept late last night. Now they're up before dawn. Isn't this exhausting?"
After hearing what Qiao Bei said, Qiao Linwei frowned slightly, then said to Qiao Bei.
After understanding the situation, Qiao Linwei felt that this was a waste of time.
"Miss, this is the master's order." Qiao Bei said hesitantly after hearing this.
In fact, not only these servants were exhausted, but Qiao Bei was also exhausted.
The main reason is that the Qiao Family Compound is too big, and it is troublesome to clean it once. In addition, the time is short, which makes it very tiring.
"Don't pay attention to my dad. He just cares about his reputation and thinks too much."
"Just because I didn't clean the yard carefully, does Wei Min dare to abandon me?"
"I'll go talk to my dad later. You should let these people rest now."
After hearing what Qiao Bei said, Qiao Linwei said to Qiao Bei angrily.
In fact, Qiao Linwei was not angry with Qiao Bei, but with his father.
How could Qiao Linwei not be angry when he tortured the servants like this just for the sake of face!
"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady." Qiao Bei thought about it and said after hearing it.
On the one hand, the servants were really tired, and Qiao Bei himself was tired too. On the other hand, Qiao Bei knew that Qiao Linwei could convince Qiao Anbang.
After saying this, Qiao Bei told his servants to rest, while he followed Qiao Linwei to the main courtyard of the Qiao family.
At this moment, Qiao Anbang was waiting for Sun Chu and Zhou Weimin to arrive in the main courtyard of the Qiao family.
"Lin Wei, why are you here? You can't meet Zhou Weimin now, go back quickly."
After Qiao Linwei and Qiao Bei walked into the main courtyard, Qiao Anbang said to He Qiao Linwei.
Then he turned to Qiao Bei and asked, "Qiao Bei, have you finished cleaning up the yard I asked you to clean up?"
Qiao Bei was about to speak after hearing this, but Qiao Linwei spoke first.
Qiao Linwei walked into the house and said, "Dad, I asked the servants to rest. They are all exhausted."
"Uncle Qiao has already cleared out three of them from the yard. I think that should be enough."
After hearing what Qiao Linwei said, Qiao Anbang glared at Qiao Bei, then said to Qiao Linwei, "What's enough?"
"At least five small courtyards need to be cleaned up. Your uncle Sun will stay at our house for a few days."
"Your uncle Sun has so many guards around him that I don't know if the five small courtyards can accommodate him."
After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Qiao Linwei frowned slightly and said, "Three small courtyards are enough."
"My uncle Sun lives in a small courtyard. He has only seven or eight guards around him, so one courtyard is enough for him."
"If Uncle Sun really brought a lot of guards, then let these guards deal with it themselves."
"Uncle Sun just told us yesterday afternoon. How are we going to clean up five small courtyards in such a short time?"
"Besides, Wei Min is here to propose marriage today, how could there be so many people cleaning up the small courtyard?"
After hearing what Qiao Linwei said, Qiao Anbang looked at her and said, "How can we ask guests to clean up after themselves?"
"Although your uncle Sun only has seven or eight guards, Zhou Weimin has assigned a platoon of soldiers to your uncle!"
"Calculate for yourself, how many small courtyards do you need?"
After Qiao Anbang finished speaking, he turned to Qiao Bei and said, "Go and have the servants work harder to clean up the three small courtyards."
"After cleaning up the yard, let those people rest for a day and give each of them two silver dollars."
"I believe that with the reward of two silver dollars, they will not be tired anymore."
