Qiao Kou suddenly said, ‘1 1 am a little tired. Can I have a rest in my sister’s yard?”
Concubine Du’s eyes sparkled, as she smiled. “Yeah, they have always been good sisters and never lived separately. Sisters can share a room, can they? You will approve of that, won’t you, Ms. Fang?”
Ms. Fang chuckled. “That won’t be possible. We have a small house with only a few rooms. Ms. Qiao has no separate room for herself. The couple are living together. You can’t just rest on the couple’s bed, can you? We don’t have many manners, but we do have a few rules.’
Qiao Kou’s chest heaved. She was so angry that she almost exploded.
This old woman was bullying her!
Even Concubine Du was angered by this speech.
Ms. Fang felt very proud in heart. Did they think she was stupid? They were up to no good if they wanted to visit her son and daughter-in-law’s room. She was not going to let that happen.
Auntie Ling stiffened, but she said with a smile, “It was our fault. Please don’t mind. We would like to have lunch here, will that be okay with you?”
Ms. Fang was not very happy. But she did not turn them down.
She said indifferently, “Oh, it is just a matter of another portion of rice and some more chopsticks. That is totally okay. But we don’t have much to eat at home, so you should not mind.”
“Of course not.” Auntie Ling replied with a smile. “Vegetables here are fresh and we will surely like them!”
Ms. Fang smiled too. “Yeah, we have many fresh vegetables!”
Ms. Fang kept them company and asked Yang Xiaoni to make some food.
Yang San and Zhang Sier offered to help Yang Xiaoni. Ms. Fang did not stop them but let them do that.
Concubine Du said that she wanted to go to the bathroom, so Ms. Fang had to show her the way.
Concubine Du, Auntie Ling and Qiao Kou exchanged a look between themselves but Ms. Fang summoned Qi.
Qi came in when he was called.
Ms. Fang said, “Keep the guests company and I will be back soon. Concubine Du, come with me.’
Qi chuckled and nodded. “Mom, I will definitely take care of the guests!”
The three guests were shocked. Concubine Du had just left when Qiao Kou shouted at Qi. “Who are you?”
Qi replied. “Your brother-in-law is my brother!”
Qiao Kou frowned and showed a disdainful look, snapping inwardly.
‘Brother-in-law… that Cultivated Talent didn’t deserve this title from her. He was always looked down upon by her parents, and he didn’t dare to utter a sound!’
“Your family really has no rules. We have not been served any tea ever since we came here. I am thirsty, serve me some tea.”
Qi looked at her. “Wait.”
“l said wait.” Qi said naturally, “If I leave the room, you will be alone here. Our rule is that we should never leave the guests alone!”
Auntie Ling could not help but feel nervous. Was this family stupid for real or pretending? She did not understand…
She glared at Qiao Kou who was about to counter. But it seemed that there was no way that they could realize the plan of walking around in the house without the Shao Family being involved..
