Chapter 455: She Gives Full Respect to the Zhang Family
Zhang Family held on to the basket in her hand, her face sullen as she glared at the chubby white steamed buns. She wanted to throw them away outright, but the fragrant scent of the buns kept wafting into her nostrils.
The rich aroma of wheat, coupled with a light, pleasant fragrance, made her stomach growl with hunger.
Damned little bitch, even her steamed buns were irresistible!
Swearing inwardly, Zhang Family glared at Hua Xiaofeng, turned, and stalked off.
Engaging with such a shrew was beneath her dignity!
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai said to Hua Xiaofeng, “Grandma, you and uncle wait here. I’ll be right back.”
Hua Xiaofeng’s eyes widened, “She’s so mean to you, and you still bring her food. Are you offering your face for her to slap?”
“Grandma, I’ll explain when I get back. Dad, take good care of Grandma and Uncle!” With that, Qiao Xiaomai strode off to catch up with Zhang Family.
Watching her retreating figure, Hua Xiaofeng stomped her feet in frustration, “Stubborn girl! Approaching her will only make her look down on you more!”
Qiao Xiaomai acted as though she had not heard, walking even faster. Content originally comes from novel✦fire.net
She, of course, knew this, but she was already engaged to Tong Sanlang, making Zhang Family her future mother-in-law.
Now her future mother-in-law was here for the first time, begging for food on behalf of Tong Sanlang and Tiehu.
As for Tong Tiehu and Tong Sanlang’s reaction upon seeing the meal, it was not her concern at this moment.
Anyway, she saved Zhang Family’s face today.
Zhang Family carried the basket of steamed buns and, with a furious huff, walked towards the Tong Family’s residence.
By now, she knew who that ranting madwoman was: Hua Xiaofeng, Qiao Xiaomai’s grandmother, who had angrily fought with Sun Family years ago, a fight that shocked Anping Village.
Back then, she was already married into Anping Village, but the Tong family lived far from the Qiao Family, so she did not go to watch the spectacle. She only heard a few words from Tiehu upon his return.
How unlucky to run into a shrew who dared to confront Sun Family directly!
“Aunt, my grandmother is a bit crude and straightforward. Don’t mind her.” Said Qiao Xiaomai, carrying two large food boxes, as she walked up to Zhang Family.
Zhang Family was silent.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai tried to find a conversation, “How many sweet potatoes are left? How much longer do we need to plant?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Family turned her head and gave her a cold look, “What, are you planning on helping?”
“I was just casually asking. We also have a lot of work to do at home.” Qiao Xiaomai said with a smile.
“Heh, who doesn’t know that you treat your own cousin as a maid. What chores does your house have for you?”
“As the one running this home, of course, I have things to be busy with.” Qiao Xiaomai replied politely.
Zhang Family looked at her and spat out, “If you’re free, you can help work in my fields.”
“I can’t do it today, we have guests at home.”
“Aren’t there people working at your house every day? Share a few to help us, and Grandpa Tong and Sanlang won’t have to exhaust themselves.” Zhang Family said.
“Well, let’s discuss it tomorrow. My dad has already planned today’s work.” Qiao Xiaomai still spoke softly, a smile hanging on her face.
Zhang Family scoffed, “Even if it’s already arranged, things can change. It’s just a matter of a few people. We used to hire people to do our work, don’t you think I wouldn’t know? Do you want to marry Sanlang or not?”
“You’re evasive even when I ask you to do a simple task. If you don’t want to marry him, stop coming to our house to see Sanlang!”
