Translator: 549690339

Hearing Qiao Xiaomai’s words, Mrs. Sun slapped her thigh and started wailing, “You’re heartless! Even though your family sits on a mountain of gold and silver, you want to dismiss me with just a few steamed buns and eggs. You’re such a heartless and unfilial son!”

Qiao Xiaomai raised a brow, too lazy to deal with such talk.

Qiao Changshun just kept his head bowed, staying silent.

Where in his family was there a mountain of gold and silver? They could hardly afford to pay someone to harvest the wheat now.

The cold jelly noodles sold for fifty taels, and they started making tofu and bean curd less than ten days ago. The money they earned each day was less than one tael on slow days, and just about two taels on good ones. So the money they had earned these days was merely around sixty to seventy taels. However, buying the land cost eighteen taels, and plus all the other stuff they had bought in these days, quite a bit of money had been spent.

Based on his estimation, Qiao Xiaomai only had about thirty to forty taels of cash.

In the future, they would have three hundred acres of wheat. It would cost quite a bit to hire people to harvest it.

Seeing that both Qiao Changshun and Qiao Xiaomai didn’t respond, Mrs. Sun stopped wailing, her face hardened, and she was about to continue ranting.

Qiao Qinghe appeared, panting heavily at the entrance, followed by Qiao Dazhu, Zhu Cuiying and others.

Upon seeing these people, Mrs. Sun quickly swallowed the curses on her lips. She glared at Qiao Changshun, “Where are my steamed buns and eggs? Bring them here!”

That’s right, before Sun Junyan left, he kept reminding her not to do blatant robbing which might get her bound and sent to the County Town as a bandit.

Sun Junyan had asked her to change her strategy. If Qiao Xiaomai was insistent on not giving her any cash, then she would demand goods, regardless of whether it was food or clothing.

As for goods, eggs could be sold for money.

And white steamed buns, these were something the Qiao family couldn’t afford.

Seeing that Qiao Qinghe was about to catch her and take her back, Mrs. Sun quickly switched her tactics, stopping her cursing and wailing. First, she would take the goods away!

Hearing this, Qiao Changshun was stunned. Why was she so easy to talk to this time?

“What are you waiting for!” Mrs. Sun saw him standing still and quickly urged him on.

Coming back to his senses, Qiao Changshun turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Just then, a breathless Qiao Qinghe arrived at the door. He bent down to grab Mrs. Sun, “Get back home, stop making a fool of yourself!”

“I just asked Changshun for some food, how is that making a fool of myself!” Mrs. Sun dodged his arm, quickly standing up. She dusted off her clothes, squared her shoulders and started arguing with Qiao Qinghe, “Changshun has money now. It’s not a disgrace for him to get something tasty to respect his mother. How is that a disgrace?!”

Qiao Qinghe’s eyebrows furrowed. He looked at Qiao Xiaomai, “She just wanted some food?”

Qiao Xiaomai nodded.

Qiao Qinghe was shocked; just a moment ago, Mrs. Sun was shouting about mountains of gold and silver, and now she just wanted food?

Had she changed her nature?

Not only was he shocked, the Qiao family members following him were also surprised. It was strange that Mrs. Sun, who usually acted like a bandit, was asking so little this time!

While they puzzled over this, Qiao Changshun came out with a basket.

He brought out all of the remaining five white steamed buns and ten eggs.

Seeing what was in the basket, Mrs. Sun dissatisfiedly said, “Is this all? It’s not even enough to fill my teeth spaces!”

Qiao Changshun awkwardly explained, “We only have these five buns left, and just these few eggs.”

Qiao Xiaomai usually bought a variety of items, but they were never in large quantities.

“Then give me a bag of white flour, I’ll make steamed buns at home!” Mrs. Sun said with a grim face, “Also, that tofu; as its mother, 1 want to have a taste, you won’t refuse that, right?!”

“Also, the weather is getting hot. I need to change this short shirt.. Give me a cloth roll!”
