Chapter 600: Not Knowing to Respect Parents
Could she say that she wanted something? She couldn't say it! If she said it, it would make her look worse than the peasants in the countryside, as if she was still trying to get their things!
Mrs. Qiao said calmly, "Watermelon is the best way to cool down and quench thirst in summer, and watermelon is not something you can buy casually. Yunduan, you don't know this, Xuan'er, don't you know this either?"
You know the answer but don’t know how to respect your parents. It shows you have no heart at all!
Lord Qiao snorted and glanced at Qiao Xuan unhappily.
Qiao Xuan pretended to be a weak young wife for a while, then she timidly raised her head and looked at the three of them, and whispered, "I... I really don't know."
Mrs. Qiao was startled, and then she remembered that Qiao Xuan had never been allowed to eat watermelon before. Qiao Xuan was always quiet and rarely left her own yard, so she might not know.
Qiao Wei snorted coldly: "So you know now? If you get it this year, don't just take care of yourself and ignore your parents!"
Qiao Xuan nodded quickly: "Don't worry, sister, I, I'll remember it."
Shao Yunduan also said hurriedly: "It turns out that my father-in-law and mother-in-law like to eat watermelon. Xiaoxu will definitely look for it again this year. It's a pity that I don't remember where the one I saw last year grew."
After hearing this, Lord Qiao and his family of three looked even uglier.
These two people are simply infuriating.
Lord Qiao asked some more questions about the tea plantation and farm, but Shao Yunduan knew very little about it.
On the contrary, Mr. Qiao thought this was normal: Third Master Le Zheng just asked him to look after the place casually, what could he understand, how much could he know? He should not know!
Since those properties were not theirs, Lord and Lady Qiao lost interest. After a few words, they repeatedly reminded them to report to them the next time the Third Master Le Zheng came, and then let them leave.
When the two left, Qiao Xuan felt her throat was a little dry. Only then did she realize that they hadn't even had a sip of tea since they entered the mansion.
Qiao Xuan was not angry, but she treated the Qiao family as strangers even more, and it would not be possible to change in the future.
"Are you thirsty after talking so much, my husband? Let's go to the teahouse and sit for a while and have some tea."
"Okay, go sit down, then go home."
"Um!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
A trip to a teahouse only costs a few dozen coins. Anyway, Shao Yunduan now has an income of two taels of silver a month, so he can afford to go to a teahouse!
They passed this stage without any major problems. The two men discussed that they would write a letter to Le Zhengxiao to explain the situation as soon as they returned.
However, in the future, whenever Le Zhengxiao comes to our house himself or sends someone to come, we have to be more cautious.
But it won't last forever. When Shao Yunduan passes the imperial examination, everything will be very different. If he passes the imperial examination again next year, the Qiao family will no longer be able to control him!
If you think about it, it is already a great achievement to be able to survive under the eyes of the Qiao family until now. I wonder how the Qiao family will feel when they know the truth.
After leaving the teahouse, they returned to the clinic, met up with the brothers and sisters, bought some fresh meat, and went home together.
I was frightened today, so I had to make something delicious to calm my nerves. I steamed the fresh pork belly with rice flour, and braised half of the ribs with fresh bamboo shoots and the other half with sweet and sour sauce.
As for today's dangerous confrontation, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had a tacit understanding and neither of them told their families about it.
The next day, Qiao Xuan started growing watermelon seedlings.
Unfortunately, after what happened yesterday, she couldn't allow Zhangjia Village to grow watermelons. She didn't want to cause any trouble.
