Chapter 704: Being a Mother to Her Level
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Qiao, stop talking!"
Second Uncle Shao and First Uncle Shao scolded Qiao Xuan at the same time.
Qiao Xuan's words added fuel to the fire. Uncle Shao was furious. "Qiao, what do you mean? How can you say such a thing? It's too much! You're too much! Who would do such a thing? Is he still a human being? "
After Qiao Xuan said this, she secretly observed Zhang's expression.
Zhang was caught off guard by these words, her face changed instantly, and she became panicked.
Although she quickly pretended to be calm, Qiao Xuan was basically certain in her heart! This matter was directed and acted by Zhang himself.
As a mother, she is truly amazing.
But she was just a peasant woman after all, and it was probably her first time doing such a thing. Her psychological quality was not very good. When Qiao Xuan suddenly mentioned it, her expression immediately revealed a flaw.
"Uncle, don't be angry. I shouldn't have said that." Qiao Xuan said, "It's just that I followed my father to another county and encountered such a case before, so I spoke hastily. That case was like this. The grandmother of the family secretly hid her grandson and pretended that he was kidnapped, forcing the eldest son and daughter-in-law to pay money to redeem him, so that she could continue to get money from the eldest son to subsidize the useless younger son. I'm sorry, please forgive me, uncle."
Uncle Shao sneered, still very angry. But he couldn't get angry again. Qiao Xuan was the daughter of County Magistrate Qiao. She said she had heard of similar cases, so she said so. Who could prove that she was lying?
By analogy, although her words were excessive, they were barely excusable.
The most important thing is, where does the second wife get 100 taels of silver? She has to ask the first wife for it.
Uncle Shao didn't think too much about whether to lend it or not. Anyway, it was still uncertain when it would be.
But if I offend Qiao Xuan badly now, it would be hard to say whether I can still borrow the money.
Qiao Xuan said very sincerely, "I also think that only people with no conscience and a heart as vicious as a snake would use this method to make money. Such people will be punished sooner or later and will definitely not have a good ending. Second cousin, am I right?"
Zhang was shocked and her eyelids twitched. She felt guilty and angry, and screamed subconsciously: "Why are you asking me? How should I know?"
Qiao Xuan: "Don't you think that people like this deserve to be struck by lightning?"
Zhang's face was extremely ugly, her lips trembled, she avoided Qiao Xuan's gaze and did not answer, she said in pain: "Dad, Mom, please quickly find a way to raise money to save Xianwen! Xianwen is still so young, I don't know who will hold him, I don't know how much suffering he will suffer."
Zhang covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.
However, Qiao Xuan clearly heard panic and stiffness in her crying.
Qiao Xuan would not participate in the issue of paying the money. With Fang around, the second branch would not be able to take advantage of her for nothing. Besides, since it was confirmed that Zhang had directed and acted in this matter, there was no need to worry about Shao Xianwen's safety.
Zhang was after money and there was no way she would really want to kill her son.
Qiao Xuan winked at Yan, and the two of them left secretly.
In a quiet place, Qiao Xuan asked, "Fourth cousin, has Second cousin asked Second Aunt for money recently?"
Yan was stunned.
Although she was somewhat puzzled as to why Qiao Xuan asked this, Yan still answered truthfully, "She did. A few days ago, my second sister-in-law asked me for ten taels of silver, saying that her family needed it urgently. She considered it a loan and would use my second brother's wages to pay it back slowly."
