Chapter 24
Qiao Xuan’s Joke
Eldest Uncle also felt that Qiao Xuan wasn’t well-behaved as a daughter-in-law was supposed to be!
Look at Ms. Xu. She was honest and diligent. But Qiao Xuan did not show any politeness when speaking with the senior members of the family. Instead, she kept countering them!
She was the daughter of the County Magistrate, true, but she was the Shao Family’s daughter-in-law! Hence, she needed to be taught well, otherwise she was going to offend many people!
They were one family, and everyone should stay in harmony!
On their wedding day the night before, when the original host caused such an accident, Shao Yunduan got so annoyed and troubled that he did not care about anything else but fell asleep directly on the bed.
But tonight, things were different and had started to go into the normal direction, well at least on the surface! The sharp issue of how they were going to spend the night also came up.
Shao Yunduan just did not know how to mention this issue.
They were a poor farmer’s family with only one bed in the room. There were no other places available for sleeping!
In the end, Shao Yunduan decided to get some blankets from the wardrobe and sleep on the floor instead.
The floor was not paved with wood or bricks, just concrete. The floor was firm but not dry enough to sleep on.
Qiao Xuan also thought of this issue. But she did not mention it deliberately, and occupied the bed before her husband could.
But this man was so honest that he would rather sleep on the wet floor than on the bed.
She got both annoyed and amused!
Of course she was not going to let him sleep on the floor. It was far too wet and cold, what if he got sick! That would hurt her conscience!
“What are you doing?”
“Sleeping!” Shao Yunduan threw a look at her. “Don’t worry…”
“I am worried!” Qiao Xuan replied. “The bed is wide. What are you sleeping on the floor for? I will have to take care of you, if you are sick!”
“I am strong and I don’t fall ill easily!”
“But what if you get sick?” Qiao Xuan smiled. “Oh, are you afraid of me?”
“I am not!” Shao Yunduan snapped. This woman was so unreasonable. He wasn’t afraid of her. Rather, she should be afraid of him!
She had said what he was going to say!
He was just thinking for her sake, but she, instead of showing him some care, even told him disdainfully that she would have to take care of him if he got sick!Moreover, she taunted that he was afraid of her!
“Then, come up!” Qiao Xuan added. “We spent the last night together, did we?”
Shao Yunduan. “…”
Yes they did. So any more times would not make any difference!
Shao Yunduan got startled. He did not know how to reply to her.
Qiao Xuan was amused. This man was so tangled in his own thoughts!
Anyway, she was going to help him out. She summoned him and said, “Come up and sleep, we are going to the mountains tomorrow!”
Shao Yunduan’s heart skipped two more beats. He flushed and almost tripped over!
He opened his mouth, thinking that this woman simply did not know how to talk properly!
“Come up and sleep…” That was not something to be said so casually!
But it seemed right too. She looked natural and calm in every way. She was just making a statement, rather than meaning anything more than that…
But he was the one who kept thinking about strange things!
Shao Yunduan knocked at his head, thinking that he must have gone mental!
He squinted and saw Qiao Xuan staring at him curiously. She had seen how he just behaved.
Shao Yunduan became so embarrassed that he wished that he could go deep into the ground and disappear.
But he gave up when he had already come to this step. Shao Yunduan coughed and calmed himself, as he walked straight to the bed.
But the way he walked made Qiao Xuan almost burst into laughter!
