Glare
Ms. Fang’s smile stiffened and her face sank. She threw a really cold side glance at Ms. Niu.
This damn woman. What a bitch! She just picked those words which they did not like to talk about as if she could benefit something out of it.
Ms. Fang could not help but feel regretful and nervous.
She should have discussed with Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan about the return to Qiao Xuan’s family yesterday, but she forgot about it after having a row with her husband.
She really had no idea what she should do about the trip. She started to think carefully and decided to turn to Qiao Xuan instead.
Qiao Xuan smiled at Ms. Niu. “What about you getting two hens for me? My father and his wife would definitely love it!”
“In your dreams! My hens are still hatching eggs. They can’t possibly be given away as presents!” Ms. Niu glared back at her.
Qiao Xuan shrugged and uttered a small “oh” sound.
“Then why are you asking for the information, if you are not sponsoring it?”
Ms. Niu again said sinisterly, “But you have hens, don’t you? You can give some of them to your family right? But I don’t think that hens are enough for the return trip, right? Elder Sister-in-law, it is time for you to back up Yunduan and the Shao Family! You should never be stingy about this, right, Ms. Qiao?”
Ms. Niu was trying her best to turn the family members against each other.
“Of course! Ms. Qiao is a kind, understanding and family-favored person. We are going to do everything we can for her!”
Ms. Fang glared at her, feeling both angry and irritated.
What was going on?
But she did not dare to say anything as she looked at Qiao Xuan. If she countered Ms. Niu, then she would probably annoy Qiao Xuan, who might assume that she would overthink her intention.
Qiao Xuan smiled at Ms. Fang gratefully. “Mom, thank you for your kindness. My father and mother once said that the elder section of the Shao Family are kindest of all! For them, just greetings would do! Mom, you don’t have to care about this, otherwise I will feel so sorry about your concern. My father and mother will snap at me, for causing you trouble, if you do too much for me.”
Officer Qiao was a very selfish person with the intention of going upwards. He did not care a thing about Qiao Xuan.
As for Madame Qiao… well, she was very happy that Qiao Xuan had married into a farmer’s family. She did not care if she was bringing back any presents.
As a matter of fact, Qiao Xuan had not even thought about returning to her own family. She would rather go back with nothing in her hands.
Her family would not help her even when she was in trouble. If that was the case, why should she care about them?
Ms. Fang felt warmth attacking her heart. She felt slightly more assured as she responded anxiously. “Okay, okay, that is good, that is good.”
Qiao Xuan turned to look at Ms. Niu and smiled. “Don’t stand there, Second Sister-in-law, come and help us peel the bamboo!”
Ms. Fang felt so happy at this moment that she sneered. “True, you are so free, why not come and help us peel the bamboo!”
Ms. Niu felt quite jealous and showed a false smile. “I am not free at all, I need to go home…”
She was so angry that they had such good luck! How did the Qiao Family end up being related to them?
She could not help but start to complain about her son.
Her second son could do nothing, but her fourth son, who she believed to be smart, just did not want to go to school and study! He said that he would reap the harvest rather than go to school, where he felt a headache attacking him.
The elder brother was always taking care of his younger brothers and their families. If he had been willing to study, the fifth son of the family would have been squeezed to nowhere by this point.
