Chapter 172 She hates it!

However, no one in Qiao's family thought she was scary.

She was standing up for her family and people like them!

What's wrong with protecting your family?

"Ran Ran, then be careful and don't let anyone notice you."

Chen Huiniang reminded her daughter in a low voice.

Although she still couldn't bear it a little, she felt chilled when she thought that that girl dared to do something to a little child.

Think about it, if Xiaobei fell into the stream and was not rescued in time, the consequences would be...

She simply didn't dare to think about it, and her heart was filled with panic when she thought about it.

Qiao Ran nodded: "I will be careful and won't let anyone notice."

Lin Guizhen pulled Qiao Xi over to change clothes, and she also brought several little cubs over.

Mrs. Qiao was sewing with her eyebrows lowered, as if she hadn't heard the conversation between her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Qiao Erhe, Qiao Sanhu, Qiao Sihai, Qiao Dong, and Qiao Nan looked at each other.

Their eyes reminded the other party that they must never say what they heard.

In the corner of the cave, Qiao Honglian was lighting a fire and cooking, while looking at the Qiao family from the corner of her eye, feeling uneasy and scared to death.

She originally planned to push Qiao Bei into the water without anyone noticing, but who knew that the dead kid Qiao Xi suddenly turned around and saw her actions.

Then she ran over and pushed Qiao Bei away, causing her to push Qiao Xi into the water.

That brat Qiao Bei is so small. If he were pushed into the water, he wouldn't be able to call for help, and no one would know if he was washed away by the water.

But the little bastard Qiao Xi was splashing and screaming in the water and was quickly rescued, causing her to fail.

She hates it!

Qiao Honglian madly hated the Qiao family, especially Qiao Ran.

She thought that since she couldn't attack Qiao Ran, she might as well attack the person closest to her and make her suffer.

Doesn't Qiao Ran love her little brother the most? She would give whatever delicious food she had to her baby brother.

If she pushed Qiao Bei into the creek and let him drown, would Qiao Ran be sad?

She wanted to see Qiao Ran sad, so she did this, but she didn't expect such a result.

Now that Qiao Ran is back, that damn brat Qiao Xi must have confessed himself, and that evil woman Qiao Ran should be coming to kill her soon, right?

Thinking that Qiao Ran was not even afraid of wolves and tigers, Qiao Honglian suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Had she known...had she known earlier, she wouldn't have acted in such a hurry.

What's the use of attacking the people around her? That Qiao Ran should be killed directly!

She was resentful and worried at the same time, waiting uneasily for Qiao Ran's revenge.

However, Qiao Ran didn't make any move until she finished cooking the meal.

Qiao Honglian couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the dead kid Qiao Xi was frightened and didn't tell him?

Seeing that the Qiao family had no intention of coming here to settle accounts with her, Qiao Honglian gradually felt relieved.

Those dead children were too timid to be frightened.

I'll find an opportunity another day to scare that little bastard Qiao Bei, and preferably kill him.

Qiao Honglian couldn't help but think proudly.

Qiao Ran and the others cut the sugar cane themselves and carried it back, thinking that everyone would cut it tomorrow, so they didn't share it with the villagers.

Qiao Ran pulled out a bundle, while Qiao Erhe and Qiao Dong pulled out and cut down another bundle. The Qiao family now had two bundles of sugar cane.

The other five young men each came back with a bundle of sugar cane. The adults and children in the family were very happy.

Sure enough, when you follow Qiao Ran out, you will always get unexpected surprises!

Qiao Ran was not in a hurry to seek revenge on Qiao Honglian. She used a machete to peel off the black skin on the sugar cane, and then chopped the peeled sugar cane into small pieces for her family to eat.

The children all squinted their eyes as they ate, and kept saying, "Wow, this sugar cane is so sweet! It's sweeter than the sugar cakes we eat during the Chinese New Year!"

The adults were reluctant to eat it and wanted to save it for the children.

But seeing the children eating so deliciously, and seeing how much they cut back home, I couldn’t help but pick up a section of sugar cane and start chewing it together with the children.

"This sugar cane is really sweet, almost sweeter than honey collected from the mountains."

Everyone cherished it very much. They nibbled it in small bites and squeezed out all the sugar cane juice before they were willing to spit it out.

Moreover, the adults were reluctant to eat it after eating it for a while. They wanted to keep it for the children. They could also boil it into brown sugar and replenish the bodies of the children and Lin Guizhen who had just given birth.

Qiao Ran felt sour and sweet in her heart when she saw her family members being so warm and loving.

I hope that a lot of sugar cane can be grown in the space as soon as possible, so that my family can eat sweet sugar cane every day and drink brown sugar that they think is a luxury product.

After dinner, the old village chief called everyone together and told Qiao Ran and the others about their discovery of sugar cane.

"This sugar cane is a good thing. I heard from Ran Yatou that she can also teach us how to boil sugar cane into brown sugar. I decided to postpone my departure tomorrow until the afternoon. In the morning, everyone will go to cut down the remaining sugar cane, boil it into brown sugar, and bring Let’s eat on the road. Do you guys have any opinions?”

People in the village were very happy when they heard that sugar cane could even be boiled into brown sugar.

"No comment!"

"No comment!"

"Village chief, one morning isn't enough time! You have to cut sugar cane and boil brown sugar. You won't be able to finish it all in one day, right? And you have to collect a lot of firewood!"

"Yes, yes, village chief, how about we stay here for one more night and set off tomorrow morning? Anyway, the soil on the mountain is still wet, so it's not easy to walk."

Sugar is a luxury item for them. No one is willing to buy brown sugar except for a daughter-in-law who has just given birth and needs brown sugar and eggs to replenish her health.

Now that you can cut your own sugar cane and make brown sugar, who wouldn’t be happy?

However, although everyone has not experienced brown sugar, if you think about it, you will know that it will take more than one morning to cut down the sugar cane and boil the sugar cane into sugar.

The old village chief thought for a while and said: "Okay, then we'll stay one more night. We'll have to hurry up and rush out the day after tomorrow. The weather is getting colder and colder. If we don't get out of the mountain quickly and arrive at the next town to buy things. Some of the clothing and food for the winter will freeze to death in the mountains if not starvation."

"Okay, then let's hurry up and chop down sugar cane to make sugar tomorrow. If we have time, we can go further to see if we can catch some wild animals and roast them into dried meat. We'll hurry up and get on our way starting the day after tomorrow."

Everyone was very happy when they heard that they could stay for one more day.

Living in this cave is actually quite comfortable, and it is convenient to fetch water. You can also catch some fish in the stream, dig some wild vegetables and pick up some mushrooms in the mountains.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no towns here to buy clothes and daily necessities, they would have just lived in this cave and never left.
