Chapter 58: Heartbroken
Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao didn't hear what Shao Sanlang said at all, but refuted Qiao Xuan in unison.
"We separated a long time ago, how can we still be a family!"
"Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. If others get paid, we should get paid too. Isn't that fair?"
“That’s right!”
Uncle Shao's face turned pale, and he was heartbroken.
Why, why would my second and third brothers say that? Are they so angry that they are confused?
Haven't they always said that even if they split up, they are still one family, one family.
Uncle Shao heard clearly what Shao Sanlang said, and felt even more uncomfortable.
Suddenly I felt a little bored.
Qiao Xuan spread her hands, disappointed: "It turns out that Second Uncle and Third Uncle don't consider us as a family!"
Uncle Shao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses. He subconsciously glanced at Uncle Shao and said hurriedly, "Fifth niece, please don't stir up trouble here! Brother, that's not what I meant! I mean, since the money is given to outsiders, it might as well be given to us, don't you think?"
Qiao Xuan sneered in her heart. It’s not impossible, but will they work hard after getting paid?
Uncle Shao sighed, glanced at Qiao Xuan, and hesitated to speak.
Qiao Xuan said, "I have already paid all the wages in advance, and the work will be finished in one day. Why don't you consider Second Uncle and Third Uncle next time when there is work?"
In fact, that piece of land was not easy to clean up. It would take at least five or six days to clear the bushes, trees, and weeds and turn the soil. Qiao Xuan clearly wanted to delay the work until they were tired.
She was just talking anyway.
You can make excuses as often as you can. As for the reasons, if you look carefully, you will always find them.
Shao Yunduan immediately said, "That's right. We are all from the same village. Dad, do you think it's appropriate to ask for the wages back? What will happen if we meet in the future?"
Uncle Shao was hurt by what his two younger brothers had said before. He was now confused and absent-minded, instinctively avoiding something. After hearing what Shao Yunduan said, he said casually, "Of course we can't do that!"
Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao were shocked. You know, eldest brother always obeyed them in everything and never refuted any request they made.
In the end, it was all over with just this one sentence from my brother?
No indication at all?
Qiao Xuan smiled: "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, next time, I will definitely ask you for help next time. We are all family, and it's okay for family members to help each other. I can also save a lot of wages!"
"You——" Uncle Shao San suddenly became anxious. Uncle Shao Er quickly pulled him and winked at him, snorting in a sarcastic tone: "Then remember, next time there is something good, don't just think about outsiders, think about our own people too! We can talk about the wages then."
It is impossible to save money. Since she is one of my own, shouldn't I take better care of her? Why did I save money? She had 26 sets of dowry, and I don't know how much gold and silver she gave as a dowry, but she was so stingy.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said no more.
Second Uncle Shao and Third Uncle Shao left in disappointment.
Shao Sanlang curled his lips and said, "Really? If they still ask me to plant rice for them in the future, I will have to ask for wages. Otherwise, I can just give them a meal!"
"Alright, alright, stop talking!" Uncle Shao was so angry that he directed it at his son and said unhappily, "Why are you so fussy? Why do you talk so much nonsense? Since--"
