Chapter 600: Disrespect To Parents
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She could not just say that she wanted it! That would make her look greedy for things from the countryside!
Madame Qiao answered instead of her. “Watermelons are the best fruits to drive away thirst in summer. And they can’t be found anywhere. You don’t know about this, but Xuan, you should know it, right?”
They just did not know how to respect parents. How heartless they were!
Officer Qiao snorted and turned to look at Qiao Xuan in displeasure.
Qiao Xuan looked very weak as she looked up at them three, replying in a small voice. “l didn’t know…
Madame Qiao was startled and thought of how Qiao Xuan never got to eat watermelons. Qiao Xuan was always very quiet and she never went out of the yard. So, it was reasonable that she did not know about it.
Qiao Wei snorted. “Now you know what they are. If you find them henceforth, you should give them to us!”
Qiao Xuan nodded anxiously. “l will bear that in mind.”
Shao Yunduan added his words as well. “You like watermelons… I will try to find them this year. Ah… I don’t remember where I found them last year…”
Officer Qiao’s family had a bad look on their faces.
The couple was so annoying.
Officer Qiao asked more about the tea fields and other business, but Shao Yunduan displayed limited knowledge.
Officer Qiao believed his words completely. Young Master Yuezheng had just asked him to take care of the fields and he did not need to do anything else. He should have no knowledge of anything.
Since the properties weren’t theirs, Officer Qiao and Madame Qiao lost interest but stressed to them that they should report to them when Young Master Yuezheng came over next time around. Then, they let them leave.
Qiao Xuan felt that her throat was parched when they left. They had not even had a sip of water after they walked into the mansion.
But Qiao Xuan was not angry. She regarded the Qiao Family as strangers, and she was not going to change her opinion.
“Are you thirsty, darling? Let’s drink some tea at the tea house.”
“Okay, let’s go and drink some tea and then go home.”
They smiled at each other.
It cost dozens of wen in the tea house. Shao Yunduan earned 2 liang a month, so they could afford the visit to the tea house.
This matter was handled well but they were going to a letter to Yuezheng Xiao to explain the matter.
Yuezheng Xiao needed to be careful about sending his men in the future.
But they were not going to be like this for long. When Shao Yunduan became the Recommended Man, and went further up the next level, the Qiao Family would not be able to control him.
It was already very lucky for them to live to the present time. If the Qiao Family learned the truth, they might have a different reaction…
After the tea house, they went back to the clinic. The family gathered there and bought some fresh meat, before heading home together.
They were startled today, so they needed to eat something nice to soothe their nerves. Fresh pork belly was cooked and steamed, half of the pork ribs were roasted with fresh bamboo shoots, and half of them were made into a sweet and sour dish.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan did not tell anyone in the family about the matter at her natal family.
The following day, Qiao Xuan started to plant watermelons.
Unfortunately, due to what happened the day before, she could not plant watermelons in Zhang Village. She did not want to cause any further trouble..
