Chapter 768 He doesn't want people to look down on her
Shao Yunduan never expected that his father-in-law would do such a disgusting thing when saying goodbye, to the point that he felt like vomiting the food he had just eaten.
Originally, he thought that if his father-in-law was willing to treat Qiao Xuan well from now on, although he could not be really close to him, it was not impossible to maintain an ordinary relationship between relatives.
Of course it would be better if Qiao Xuan had a mother's family, even if it was just on the surface.
He wouldn't dislike her or have any thoughts about her, but maybe others wouldn't.
He didn't want people to look down on her.
She also doesn't want anyone to have any bad intentions and plot against her.
When Qiao Xuan was reminding her parents, eldest brother, third brother, eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law and others at home about those dirty things, she didn't think that she was actually the one who needed to be most wary of.
If he really became an official in the future, and people saw that she didn't have a decent family to support her, it was hard to say whether they would try to plot against her.
He might be thinking too far ahead, but it's not a bad thing to plan ahead.
I don't want to see that the Qiao family is so profit-driven, they don't deserve it at all!
"Father-in-law, it's getting late. We should go back."
Shao Yunduan didn't want to stay any longer.
Lord Qiao wanted to give Qiao Xuan a few more words of instruction, but seeing that Shao Yunduan had a hint of impatience on his face, he decided not to say anything more. He smiled and said goodbye to them, watching them leave.
Qiao Wei curled her lips and whispered, "Mom, I think my second sister seems reluctant. Could it be that she is holding a grudge against us for what happened in the past and won't help us?"
Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "No way. After all, she is your father's daughter, so she should naturally side with your father. How can a daughter bear grudges against her biological father? That would be a big deal!"
Master Qiao also looked at Qiao Wei with some displeasure: "Your mother is right, your second sister is not that petty. Even if she is petty, she can't bear grudges against her parents! You are so young, what nonsense are you imagining!"
Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Master, don't blame Wei'er. Isn't Wei'er just caring about you?"
Lord Qiao snorted and said nothing more.
Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye. After the lively Mid-Autumn Festival, we start counting the days until the autumn harvest.
The Shao family's main branch has only a few acres of land, and they can hire people to harvest it quickly, so the family doesn't have to worry too much.
On the contrary, the hundreds of acres of fertile land in Zhangjia Village need more attention.
There was also a harvest in the lotus pond in Zhangjia Village. Qiao Xuan took Xiaoqi and the others to try to dig some lotus roots and picked a lot of water chestnuts to take back.
The water chestnuts are steamed directly in the steamer. When they are cooked, peel off the black and hard shell to reveal the snow-white water chestnut flesh. It tastes soft and sticky, with the unique fresh and sweet flavor of aquatic plants.
The lotus root is cut into pieces and stewed with pig's trotters and peanuts. The soup is rich and the lotus root is sweet and tasty. Spicy and sour lotus root strips are also made. The finger-sized lotus root strips are wrapped in a sauce-colored sauce. Green peppers, red sour peppers and garlic cloves are stir-fried together. It is crispy, spicy and irresistible.
The whole family enjoyed it very much.
The lotus roots in that half pond can be eaten for several months. They can be made into cold lotus root slices, spicy and sour lotus root cubes, stir-fried lotus root slices, fried lotus root sandwiches, steamed lotus root meat patties, lotus root meatballs, lotus root and pork ribs stew, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, etc.
In addition to lotus roots, the betel nut taro that Qiao Xuan brought back from the provincial capital can also be harvested.
A huge betel nut taro weighs about seven or eight pounds. When peeled and cut, the cut surface is covered with purple spots, which looks very beautiful.
