Chapter 67 - 67 Meaning
67 Meaning
10 liang was already over the top.
But the Yang Family had asked for 80 liang, and 10 liang might not work.
“Mom.” Qiao Xuan smiled. “What about me offering 10 liang as well and together, we have 20 liang. Listen to me, mom, I don’t do housework, and Third Sister-in-law might not like me after she comes to our family because of my laziness. But if I pay the 10 liang here, she will not be able to say anything bad about me. Then, we will have one large, happy family. I am actually taking advantage of you all.”
Ms. Fang was startled. After thinking about it, she could not utter a word in response.
She sighed. “Ms. Qiao, this is…”
“Mom.” Qiao Xuan smiled. “My husband is studying at school and you all support him. So it is our duty to make contributions to the family. When my husband gets a promising job in the future, he is going to take care of the family.”
“Okay!” Ms. Fang patted her hands slightly. “It is Duan’s luck to have married a wife like you. If he ever treats you badly, you have to tell me. I will teach him a lesson on your behalf. No matter whether he is going to have a promising future, he will never betray you!”
Qiao Xuan’s heart turned warm and she said with a smile, “Mom, I will keep your words in mind. If my husband treats me badly, I will report him to you directly so you can hit him!”
Ms. Fang smiled. “Of course, of course!”
“You are so nice, Mom!”
Outside the room, Shao Yunduan left from there but he felt that his feet were floating ion the air. His head had turned messy.
He really had no idea what this woman was thinking about.
What did she mean?
She should not have made such an offer. Moreover, it wasn’t so nice to say things so boldly. What was she thinking all the time?
After Qiao Xuan and Ms. Fang were done with the discussion, they headed to the Yang Family together.
Yang Xiaoni’s parents passed away ages ago, and her brother, Yang Liang and sister-in-law, Ms. Tian were both lazy, and greedy.
They should have gone out for work by this hour, but in the Yang Family, only Yang Xiaoni was forced to do the hard work whilst Yang Liang was just idling around and Ms. Tian was lazing around at home.
Seeing Ms. Fang coming over with her daughter-in-law, Ms. Tian’s eyes sparkled. “Oh hey, you are here again, come in and take a seat!”
She sized up Qiao Xuan and displayed a look of greed. She showed a hidden smile. “This daughter-in-law of yours couldn’t have been born in the countryside. She must be your fifth daughter-in-law, the daughter of the County Magistrate, right? Oh, she looks so beautiful. Only a Cultivated Talent can be a match for her!”
Ms. Fang knew what Ms. Tian was doing. But she was happy to hear what was being said, so she added. “My daughter-in-law is a very good girl!”
“Of course!” Ms. Tian showed a smile and sent her elder son to get his father back.
After a few sentences, Ms. Tian asked purposefully. “What are you doing here?”
Ms. Fang was cursing her inwardly. This Ms. Tian was trying to calculate Ms. Qiao! But for her stupid son who had fallen for Yang Xiaoni, she would not have walked into a family like this ever in her life.
Who would want to hang out with someone like this!
Ms. Fang smiled. “Let’s wait until your husband comes back!”
Ms. Tian smiled and said confidently, “Of course, my husband makes decisions for all kinds of important things in the house!”
Soon, Yang Liang hurried back. He looked at Ms. Qiao and Ms. Fang, greeting them happily.
