Chapter 86: Returning Home Rich and Proud 3
Several people stared at each other after Old Man Yang said that. They then put their heads together and began thinking.
That… really was the Eleventh Daughter of the Qi family. How was that possible…
Where did she get the money to ride in such a beautiful and luxurious carriage?
“For now, let’s not worry about whether it’s possible or not. If my eyes didn’t deceive me, that person just now seems to bear the appearance of the Eleventh Daughter,” said Old Man Yang.
“Whether it’s a mule, a horse, or a donkey, we’ll know once we head back and take a look,” Old Man Yang said through tightly gritted teeth.
Immediately, the few of them rushed to the village.
…
Many people had already noticed the lavish and luxurious carriage when it entered the village and they all had the same thoughts as Old Man Yang. They all wondered if someone’s son had struck gold outside the village, or if a married daughter was returning home to visit her parents.
However, when the carriage drove all the way up to the door of the village head, everyone could only stare blankly.
The village head, Ma Sanye, only had a few sons and they were all in the village. Not to mention, their situation at home was fairly average as well. Ma Sanye did not have any affluent relatives either! He was the village head of Linquan VIllage and he was the person with the most authority in the Ma family.
When the carriage stopped and a gracefully and luxuriously dressed young lady alighted from the carriage as the coachman lifted the curtains, everyone was stunned. On her red and black attire were beautiful peonies embroidered in gold and silk thread, accentuating the young lady’s fair skin. On her head, she wore a beautiful hair stick with beads of jadeite pearls and a pearl necklace hung around her neck. There were also beautifully exquisite rubies on her ears and two strings of gold bracelets on her wrists.
The young lady’s eyes were large and her glossy lips red. Her eyes were like lacquer and her brows looked like strokes of an ink painting. Her eyes were watery and bright as she looked around. She was essentially a rose among a world of weeds!
Ma Sanye was forced to open his doors following all the racket outside. He was utterly shocked when he saw the young lady. He only snapped out of it after two seconds and registered that the majestic and beautiful young lady in front of him was surprisingly none other than Qi Qingyao who had left the village 11 days ago.
However, Ma Sanye did not dare to jump to this conclusion.
That was because the woman’s demeanor was completely different.
“Qi Qingyao?”
“Village head, it’s me, I’ve returned.”
“…”
Was it really her?
Ma Sanye was flabbergasted.
When Jiang Yeqian, Si Jin, and three little kids alighted from the carriage, the curious crowd finally realized who this young lady was and everyone lost their minds for a moment.
“It’s Qi Qingyao!”
“Ah!”
A few women at the door were covering their mouths, so excited that they were almost tearing up.
After all, they had been discussing this secretly the past few days; they had believed that Qi Qingyao would probably be gone forever, that she had just taken off for good. No one would have thought that she would return.
On top of that, she came back riding such a beautiful carriage!!
Someone pointed at the two large burlap bags that were still being unloaded from the carriage and asked curiously.
“Eleventh Daughter, this… what’s with these two large bags of rice?”
Qi Qingyao made a vague, dismissive gesture and went up to Ma Sanye first. She took out a money pouch and handed it to him. “Village head, here are 20 taels. You can give them a count.”
The village head, “…”
The surrounding bystanders, “…”
How was it possible for her to return with 20 strings of mace?
She…
How did she do it?
Qi QIngyao, meanwhile, was perfectly calm as she gestured for Si Jin to open the burlap bags. Si Jin, who was dressed in white brocade clothes, smiled as she opened the two burlap bags, revealing the shiny and plump white rice within.
The crowd once again did not know how to respond and were all dumbfounded.
“This 200 catty of rice is for those who willingly lent me money previously. I thank you for your generosity back then for helping me when I was in a desperate situation.”
Qi Qingyao clapped her hands and continued, “Village head, please distribute the rice to everyone. I shall not meddle anymore.”
