Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Making a Fool of Oneself, Blowing Up Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Making a Fool of Oneself, Blowing Up Luo Qiao let out a sobbing hiccup and continued, “I said I wear size 36 shoes and she can’t fit into them, but she said her feet are slender and she could definitely get into them. Before I agreed, she also mentioned wanting to exchange enamel basins with me.”
Before I finished speaking, the Zhao Family Eldest Sister also came over, asking if I needed any seeds. I said the wife of the brigade leader already prepared some for me.
I was planning to go dig up some wild vegetables, so I didn’t keep them around. The Zhao Family Second Sister grabbed my stuff and left, even accusing me of being stingy. In this village, I only have some connection with their family. I had no choice but to chase after them.”
The brigade leader’s face was dark with anger as he looked towards the two Zhao sisters and said, “Return the items now.”
Zhao Xiaomei, reluctantly, threw the items back into Luo Qiao’s arms, saying, “As if I wanted them that much.”
Luo Qiao quickly caught them, afraid that the enamel basin would break. She definitely wasn’t going to let the Zhao Family get their way, and she also wanted to teach the Zhao Family a lesson.
The brigade leader sent someone to call over Zhao Pulin and his wife. After Gao Suhua arrived, she said with a smile, “It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding.”
Luo Qiao watched coldly as Gao Suhua put on her act.
The brigade leader said sternly, “Gao Suhua, with so many eyes watching, where do you see a misunderstanding?”
Gao Suhua ignored the brigade leader’s stern face and stepped forward to grab Luo Qiao’s hand, saying with a smile, “Luo Qiao, you child, this is all because we were worried about you living alone. What if something bad happened?
I sent your eldest sister and second sister over to take you back to the Zhao Family. I thought since we took the Luo Family’s money, it wouldn’t be right to do nothing. Later, if we met again, it would be hard to explain to the Luo Family.
Your second sister probably just used the wrong method. Xiaotao, Xiaomei, apologize to sister Luo Qiao now.”
Li Xiulan, after hearing Gao Suhua’s words, burst into laughter, “Gao Suhua, do you ever have such good intentions? We all heard what your Xiaomei said earlier.
It’s just shameless. You and your daughters could put on a grand play, pretending to be virtuous after being prostitutes.”
Zhao Pulin knew his wife’s words were false, but he found Li Xiulan’s words extremely unpleasant, so he spoke up, “Li Xiulan, watch your language. What kind of talk is that coming from an aunt?”
Li Xiulan chuckled and said, “The Zhao Family has done the deed and now doesn’t allow others to speak of it? You clearly came to steal someone’s belongings and made it sound so righteous. Initially, you refused to take in Luo Qiao at all costs.
It must be because you saw her outperforming your daughters in earning work points, and then you changed your mind. One shouldn’t be so shameless.”
Zhao Pulin was about to retort when, out of nowhere, a dirty and skinny little boy about five or six years old popped up, “I know what they are planning.”
Gao Suhua opened her mouth to scold, “You unwanted little bastard, get out of here.”
Li Xiulan, on the other hand, smiled and said, “Stone, tell us what the Zhao Family is planning.”
The boy named Stone looked around at the crowd, “If I tell you, can I get a steamed bun?”
Li Xiulan, though reluctant to give up that steamed bun, was ready to bear the cost to embarrass the Zhao Family.
She promised Stone, “Alright, you little rascal, always thinking about eating.”
Gao Suhua yelled, “You little bastard, if you dare to spread wild gossip, I’ll beat you up.”
Stone had often been scolded by Gao Suhua in the past, but in the presence of so many people, he was not afraid of her.
Stone said loudly, “Their family wants to trick that sister into going back home, then sell her to the cripple from Beipo Village to be his wife.”
When Gao Suhua heard this, she knew trouble was brewing, so she chased after Stone, trying to hit him while cursing, “You little bastard, spouting nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth to pieces.”
