Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

58 Heart-Breaking
Second Uncle and Third Uncle did not hear what Shao Sanlang said, so they countered Qiao Xuan simultaneously.

“We are separated, we are not a family!”

“Brothers should get paid too, it is fair, isn’t it?”

“True!”

Elder Uncle’s face turned palethe minute he heard their remarks…

How could his brothers say those words? They would not have become so mad as to get confused in their heads, would they?

Did they not keep saying that they were not separated, but a whole family?

Eldest Uncle heard what Shao Sanlang said as well. He was not very pleased.

Suddenly, he felt a bit emotional.

Qiao Xuan showed her arms and said disappointedly, “So, you never thought that we are a family?”

Second Uncle got startled and brought himself back, as he looked at Eldest Uncle subconsciously. “Don’t try to turn white into black. Brother, I don’t mean this, I mean, you can pay us rather than paying outsiders, right?”

Qiao Xuan sneered inside her heart. Well, that was true, but they never worked hard even when they were paid.

Elder Uncle sighed and could not utter a word, as he turned to Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan said, “I have already paid everyone, and the work should be finished within a day. So, I might consider your offer next time if we have similiar work to do.”

It was not an easy place to clean. There was grass, weeds and bushes. It would take five or six more days. Qiao Xuan was just trying to shift the whole thing as long as she could.

All she needed to do was to say some words.

She could just make up any number of excuses as she wanted, and could always find some new ones.

Shao Yunduan added. “True, we are all living in one village and it is not proper to ask for the payment back, right?”

Eldest Uncle, who was hurt by what his two brothers said, got so confused in mind, so he reacted to Shao Yunduan’s words instinctively. “True!”

Both Second Uncle and Third Uncle were taken aback. Their brother had always stood by their sides and he never turned down their demands.

But at this moment, his brother ended the hope by just saying such words?

And he showed nothing?

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Second Uncle and Third Uncle, we will definitely turn to you for help in the future. We are one family, right? We don’t have to split hairs, and it can save me a lot of money too, right?”

“You…” Third Uncle got anxious.

Second Uncle also exchanged a strange look with him. “Then you should take us family into consideration when you have something good to offer. After that, we can talk about payment.”

What did she mean by saving her a lot of money? They were a family, right? Why save money? She had 26 sets of dowry and so much gold and silver. How could she be so stingy?

Qiao Xuan smiled and said nothing more.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle left, looking unsure.

Shao Sanlang pursed his lips. “If I am asked to plough and put down crops for them in a while, I am going to ask for money too, or atleast lunch!”

“Just drop it!” Eldest Uncle threw his temper at his son and said angrily, “Why so much talk?”
