Chapter 36: Gift from My Mother's Family
Buy some meat and some other odds and ends.
Anyway, I have the three hundred taels I just swindled from Mrs. Qiao, and she will also find ways to make money, so what is there to be afraid of?
Prices were not expensive these days, and Qiao Xuan bought a whole cart of things for only about ten taels of silver.
After satisfying her shopping addiction and reaping rich rewards, Qiao Xuan felt very fulfilled!
Shao Yunduan originally wanted to persuade her, but then he changed his mind and thought that she was used to a good life and farmers' lives were hard, so since she wanted to buy it, he let it go.
He felt bad and couldn't help but tell her to just buy what she needed and not worry about the whole family.
Qiao Xuan said confidently: "Mom is so good to me. There are Xiaoqi, Taotao, and you. Why do I have to calculate it so clearly? Anyway, you can pay me back when you become rich in the future."
Shao Yunduan, who was not good at speaking, was speechless.
The two of them brought a large cart of things home, which scared Fang, Xu and Shao Taotao.
Xu saw rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, meat and other things at a glance, and she was overjoyed.
If the family had not been divided, these things would naturally have been bought for the public.
My fifth brother’s wife is really generous.
She couldn't help but feel a little envious when she was overjoyed. After all, the fifth brother's wife was the county magistrate's daughter, and she couldn't compare to her.
"Why did you buy so many things? How much silver does this cost?" Fang asked hurriedly.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Mom, it's a rare trip to the county town. These things are not expensive. Let's put them away quickly!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were indeed in sync with each other. Fang understood what she said as soon as she heard it. She didn't bother to ask any more questions and nodded quickly: "Okay! Xu, Xiaoqi, Taotao, come and help!"
Together with Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, the few of them quickly packed up the large truck of things and put them back where they should be.
When Qiao Xuan bought meat, she was craving for braised spareribs and twice-cooked pork, and volunteered to cook two dishes in the evening.
Fang smiled and nodded, saying yes, and asked Xu and Taotao to help her.
As they were talking, Niu and Ma came with their grandchildren in their arms.
As the two men entered the yard, their eyes rolled around, and when they saw nothing, they were very disappointed.
Ma looked around and said, "I heard that my niece-in-law and Wulang brought back a cart of gifts from her parents' home. We are a family, so we should have some, right? You can't keep it all to yourself, sister-in-law!"
"Yes!" Niu also said immediately: "Unless the eldest sister-in-law doesn't recognize us as relatives! Then the eldest brother will not agree!"
Fang's face was ugly for a moment, she sneered and was about to speak -
Her good daughter-in-law Qiao Xuan, who was on the same front, had already explained with a smile: "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you misunderstood. I bought all these things with my own dowry. They were not gifts from my parents."
Qiao Xuan felt that she had made it very clear. It was not a gift from her parents' home, but something she bought with her own money. Of course, it had nothing to do with the second or third room.
Unfortunately, Uncle Shao always believed that the eldest brother is like a father, and he had the responsibility and obligation to take care of his two younger brothers and their families. He wanted to give all the food he had to the second and third wives. As long as the second and third wives expressed their gratitude to him with tears, he would feel extremely relieved and satisfied.
So over the years, the second and third wives have long taken it for granted that they can ask for whatever they want from the first wife.
After hearing what Qiao Xuan said, Niu disagreed: "It's all the same. We are all family. How can you have the heart to watch us eat porridge while enjoying all the delicious food?"
