208 Out Of Dream
In this way, her own family would have flourished as well!
Ms. Ma found her dream getting more and more realistic.
The more realistic it seemed, the more annoyed she felt about the truth she had to face, when she realized where she was at the moment.
Seeing that Ms. Fang was not within sight, Ms. Ma suddenly thought of an idea.
Ms. Ma went to those relatives and friends who did not seem to get on well with Ms. Fang, and started to reveal some ‘secrets’ about Ms. Fang.
She did not dare to say anything about Qiao Xuan, since she was in a high position. No one from the village had any idea of how Qiao Xuan was actually treated at home.
But she dared to say something about Ms. Fang.
“…She just favors this daughter-in-law of hers! Look at Ms. Xu, who has to work so hard from early morning. She has to do laundry, sweeping the floor, chopping, carrying water, starting a fire, and cooking. After she makes breakfast, she has to go into the fields for heavy labor. She is so busy every single day. But look at Ms. Qiao, she needs to do nothing!”
“It is only because Ms. Qiao has money! She is definitely going to take hold of the dowry of Ms. Qiao. This Ms. Qiao is so stupid as to still defend her and respect her as if she were her own mother!”
“You know how much they offered to Sanlang for him to get the wife? 20 liang! Since when did they get so generous? They have just hosted Wang’s wedding and now they are able to give 20 liang to the Yang Family! Everyone knows where the money is coming from! But they don’t want to loan any money to us, even though they are living a luxurious life! They are so hard-hearted!”
“Just wait and see, when Sanlang’s wife moves in, the new daughter-in-law will definitely be very unhappy about her mother-in-law’s blatant preference towards Ms. Qiao. Dalang is very honest, and doesn’t dare to utter a word when his wife is bullied, but Sanlang is different.”
“…”
Those aunts’ biggest pastime was to gossip about the family relationships of different families. They were most fascinated by how those family disputes were conducted.
Since they felt a bit jealous about the first section of the Shao Family, and did not like Ms. Fang much, they were all excited to hear what Ms. Ma told them.
So the whole group got together and gossiped vigorously, with their eyes sparkling.
But Qiao Xuan caught every word spoken even though she was standing far away.
Disgusted, Qiao Xuan told herself inwardly that this Third Aunt-in-law of hers had again lost her control of her tongue, despite being disciplined by her mother-in-law just a while ago.
Did she think that her words would separate her and her mother-in-law or that her Elder Brother and her Elder Sister-in-law would be dissatisfied with her?
Did she think that she could break down her family?
Well, she was dreaming!
Elder Brother was an obedient and honest person, and she could easily buy Elder Sister-in-law. Third Brother was a broad-minded person and she had met his wife, Yang Xiaoni, who seemed to be generous as well. Her family would get increasingly better, and she did not think that anything bad would happen.
“Third Aunt-in-law!” Qiao Xuan smiled and stepped forward. “What are you talking about? I am interested in listening to it too!”
“What… are you doing here?”
Ms. Ma got startled seeing Qiao Xuan coming over all of a sudden.
People who gossiped behind people’s backs always felt guilty.
Qiao Xuan blinked and smiled. “I seem to hear that you are talking about me and Mom. So, I also want to hear your story in detail.”
