Chapter 248 Qiao Xuan feels disgusted
In a short while, Qiao Xuan had picked half a basket, just enough for stir-frying, and the rest for making egg drop and wolfberry sprout soup.
After leaving the flower field and walking not far, I suddenly ran into Zhang from the second house.
Qiao Xuan smiled and was about to greet her by calling out "Second sister-in-law!" Unexpectedly, Zhang greeted her first with a smile on her face: "Oh, Fifth sister-in-law, what a coincidence!"
"Yeah!" Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded, "Second sister-in-law, go get busy. I'll go back first."
"Hey, Fifth Sister-in-law," Zhang called her over, glanced at her basket and said with a smile, "These wolfberry sprouts are very fresh."
Qiao Xuan said, "Ah?" "Yes!"
She was a little confused about what Zhang wanted to say.
Zhang smiled and said, "That's really new! I heard that my fifth brother's wife has planted a lot of wolfberries in her flower fields. Can I go pick some wolfberry sprouts to try?"
Qiao Xuan: “.”
Wolfberry sprouts are not precious things. There are plenty of them in her flower field. Although she picked half a basket, there are still many left.
Logically speaking, Zhang was her second sister-in-law, so there was no reason to refuse such a request.
However, Zhang was from the second house, and she didn't want Zhang to enter the flower field and see what was inside.
She didn't want her to see the bottles and jars used to make lipstick, the thirty beehives, the tea leaves and pomegranate trees, etc.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "It just so happens that I picked a lot today. I'll give half to my second sister-in-law."
"Fifth sister-in-law is such a generous person, how can anyone not like her!" Zhang smiled and said hurriedly, "But these are picked by Fifth sister-in-law, how can I feel embarrassed? I can go in and pick them too. It's just right, I also want to open my eyes and take a look at what Fifth sister-in-law's flower field looks like. Fifth sister-in-law wouldn't be so stingy as to not let people in, would she?"
Qiao Xuan suddenly felt disgusted.
She hated moral kidnapping, and what Zhang said was moral kidnapping.
Oh, so not letting her in is being stingy?
Then she would really be stingy for once.
"Sister-in-law, I have picked all the wolfberry sprouts. These wolfberries were planted a while ago. They are not growing very well and there are not many sprouts. If you like to eat them, you can take some."
"Then--then no need," Zhang was a cheapskate, and something was better than nothing. She wanted it at first, but she thought of playing the long game and catching the big fish, so she reluctantly refused.
"I'm so sorry! I just want to take a look at my fifth sister-in-law's flower field. How about letting me take a look? I see my eldest sister-in-law, my third sister-in-law, and Taotao coming in and out every day. Why don't I go and help my fifth sister-in-law with the work?"
Qiao Xuan's expression had calmed down. "No need. My sister-in-law and the others are enough to handle this little job!"
"Fifth younger brother and sister——"
"I will discuss my affairs with my mother. Otherwise, I will go back and ask her what she says."
Zhang was suddenly speechless.
Ask Fang? It's strange that Fang will agree!
Fang is the most cunning and mean person, and she doesn't get along with her mother-in-law, so how could she be allowed to go?
Zhang could only smile awkwardly and stammer, "Well, let's talk about it later, haha."
Qiao Xuan also smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, go get busy. I'll go back first!"
After saying that, he left.
"Hey, Fifth Brother and Sister-in-law, take care!"
Zhang called out from behind, and when she saw Qiao Xuan walking away, her face suddenly became sullen, without any trace of the friendly smile she had had before.
"Bah!" She spat on the ground and murmured, "In this rural village, do you still think you are some rich lady? Who are you showing off to?"
