Qiao Xuan felt a bit anxious. She did not want Shao Yunduan and the Shao Family to consider her as evil.
She was an innocent person, and expected to live a peaceful, leisurely life.
Shao Yunduan did not know what to say.
His wife must have gotten a wrong idea of what ruthlessness meant.
"You are gentle enough, but she is already frightened, right?"
Qiao Xuan was surprised, but soon she replied with a smile. "Yes! She is so timid and dumb, what I said was enough to frighten her!"
Shao Yunduan smiled. "Then that is good!"
Liu Yan was just boiling water in the kitchen, when Ms. Niu came to the door.
"Are you at home, Fifth Niece-in-law?"
Liu Yan, who was already so good at boiling water in the kitchen, almost collapsed on her knees hearing the voice. She was really scared!
Qiao Xuan knew exactly what Ms. Niu was doing here.
But Liu Yan already received enough lessons and she was not going to allow Ms. Niu to take her away again.
She was her maid, and Ms. Niu had just borrowed her for a couple of days.
Ms. Niu was very displeased right now when Qiao Xuan wanted to take her back, but there was nothing she could do.
Most importantly, there was nothing she dared to do.
Ms. Fang could drive her away to start with.
Ms. Niu made some complaints about how lazy and greedy Liu Yan was whilst working for her, before she left the place with an unconvinced heart.
Liu Yan let out a sigh of relief in the kitchen, feeling alive again.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan soon got the agreement ready. Liu Yan shivered badly but she had to cooperate.
Qiao Xuan was satisfied when she had the bargaining chip ready in her hand.
"Alright, just stay here and work for me! If you dare betray me… I will bring you down with me!"
Scared, Liu Yan shook her head and her hands trembled. "No, no, I won't, I won't!"
Liu Yan soon became very diligent! She chopped wood, swept the floor and started the fire without even being asked. She wanted to take over all kinds of work.
She was suddenly so proactive!
Qiao Xuan watched the whole thing calmly, but Ms. Fang pursed her lips, not feeling so good towards that maid. This maid was a bitch, who had yielded after being disciplined by Ms. Niu!
The following day was Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni's wedding.
At lunchtime, Shao Xiaoqi came from outside cheerfully, telling everyone that he had set three traps in the place a couple of days ago where wild boars might appear. When he went into the mountains and took a look around, he saw a large-sized wild boar in the trap. It was too heavy for him to carry. So he came home to fetch some helpers…
"Mom, the wild boar is really big! It weighs at least 100 kgs! There will be one more kind of dish served at the wedding tomorrow!"
Shao Xiaoqi was so happy about it.
So was the whole family.
Shao Sanlang was so thrilled that he returned an excited greeting. "Brother, thank you so much! It is going to be great!"
"You are welcome, Third Brother!"
Everyone would like to have a flourishing wedding. Shao Sanlang had a lot of savings and knew that his mother had some too, but the money was earned without letting their father know, so they could not spend it in front of everyone.
Fifth Brother had just held his wedding, and the cost was very high. So, if they spent too much on another wedding, the situation would look obviously suspicious.
That would not be good.
They had the savings, and they could use it slowly for their own pleasure, which was beneficial, and full of pleasure.
But a wild boar was another issue.
That wild boar weighed more than 100 kgs. It should be a big thing!
