Liu Zhaodi was surprised that the first person to object was the most honest person in the Qiao family. In her memory, Qiao Xiaoni usually didn't like to talk to people and would definitely hide behind the adults when faced with such a situation. What was wrong with her today?
"I... Your family bought so much meat that you can't finish it all. I'll take some back for the kids. Wouldn't that be helping you out?"
"Look at what you're saying. Are you going to eat our meat or solve our problems? Why don't you say you're helping us with chores?" Qiao Xiaoni retorted without any politeness.
Seeing her daughter's fierce demeanor, Li Meihua finally realized what was happening and stepped forward to pull her aside, saying, "This is your Aunt Liu, don't take it to heart."
"Mom, it's not a matter of whether I hold it against her or not. It's that what she said is wrong. She's trying to take advantage of me without helping with the work. There's no such thing as a free lunch." Qiao Xiaoni deliberately spoke loudly. If she really went along with this woman and gave her the pork, then there would be so many people around who would be hurt by her words, and there would definitely be shameless people like her.
When had Liu Zhaodi ever suffered such a loss? "Meihua! You really need to keep a close eye on your daughter. With such a sharp tongue, how will she ever get married?"
How could her mother-in-law possibly stand it? What if it causes conflict with the neighbors, like the Ma family's daughter who got divorced and was kicked out!
Li Meihua's face changed drastically: "What you said is too awful! My daughter doesn't even have a husband yet! Your words are too hurtful."
Liu Zhaodi put her hands on her hips and said, "What I'm saying makes sense. If we don't discipline them now that they're so young, what will become of them in the future!"
Qiao Haisheng, as a grown man, shouldn't get involved in women's quarrels, but now he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Whether my daughter gets married or not is none of your business. You're meddling in other people's affairs. Go and worry about your own son! He's 30 and no one's still not married. Why don't you look into why?"
With her parents' support, Qiao Xiaoni was in a great mood: "Dad, Mom, let's not argue with her. She eats too much candy, otherwise how could she be so shameless!"
Su Chenhao was amused; the little girl was swearing without using any vulgar language.
Liu Zhaodi glanced at the family, then turned to the onlookers and said, "What are you all still doing here? Aren't you afraid their family will scold you?" After saying that, she swayed her hips and left, her steps slightly unsteady, almost tripping at the doorway.
This made the people around her laugh. They were just there for the fun of it; who else would be so shameless as to ask for things?
Qiao Xiaoni: "Dear uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas, I bought so many things to start a business. Everyone, please go about your business as you are! Once the food is ready, I'll invite you all to try some."
Since everyone will find out sooner or later anyway, I might as well tell them today to avoid any bad gossip later.
Everyone was curious about why so much stuff was being bought for food, but none of them could do it like Liu Zhaodi, who was shameless enough to do so. They slowly dispersed and left.
After everyone left, Qiao Xiaoni went to her parents and said, "I bought all these things to sell for money. You have to believe me, I definitely won't waste all this stuff."
Qiao Haisheng and Li Meihua exchanged glances. It was the first time they had ever seen their daughter speak to them so earnestly. Considering their daughter's recent behavior, they thought that these things might actually sell for money.
Li Meihua: "Nizi, as long as you've made up your mind, then work hard at it. Mom will support you from behind."
Qiao Haisheng chimed in, "Dad, I'm here to support you. Don't worry about failing. As long as we try our best, we won't regret it."
