Chapter 80: Guaguaguagua. Tsk tsk. They are all gods.
Zhang Juhua stood up suddenly, pointed at Xiang Yao, and gritted her teeth:
"You're a motherless bastard. Who did you offend? You keep saying we're hurting you. What did we hurt you?"
Xiang Yao's eyes were as calm as a well, and the words he spoke were also flat:
"You knew the Zhou family was a hell of a place, yet you pushed me into it regardless of my will. If you're not harming me, what are you doing?"
She sneered, digging her nails into her palms: "You think I'm a fool, doing this to me as a family."
Zhang Juhua's eyes widened, her voice nearly breaking. "Who thinks you're a fool? Who thinks you're a fool? What's the point of talking about a hellish pit? They're from a wealthy family! You marry into their family and live a life of luxury!"
"Do you want this blessing?" Xiang Yao raised an eyebrow. "I'm really curious. What would you do if I insisted on not marrying into the Zhou family?"
Zhang Juhua didn't say anything, but her eyes rolled around a few times before she suddenly slowed down her tone. "Yao girl, there's really no need to think so highly of us elders. Now, let's not talk nonsense anymore. I'm too lazy to argue with you. Just think about it carefully."
After saying that, she walked out of the room, locked the door, and left with a swaying butt.
Xiang Yao stared at Zhang Juhua's back, motionless, frowning and thinking.
She thought to herself that it was time to think about her way out. What if the Xiang family turned against her? Could she really listen to these old feudalists and follow the same path as her original self?
No, no, that's absolutely not possible.
She, Xiang Yao, definitely wants to choose her own marriage partner.
As I thought of this, a tall and handsome figure suddenly popped up in my mind. At first, it was just a vague outline, but slowly, it became clearer and clearer...
Xiang Yao blinked and dismissed the image from his mind.
She decided to stay at Xiang's house for the time being while trying to find some other place to stay.
After all, if the Xiang family insisted on forcing her to marry, she would definitely not be able to stay in the Xiang family if she resisted stubbornly.
Well, there are no more than two people with good character in this family, so it won't be a big burden for her to leave.

The next day.
At dusk, the clouds in the sky are painted with different shades of light and dark by the setting sun, which is extremely gorgeous.
With his back to the light, Xiang Ming strode into the yard.
Xiang Yao was chewing a cucumber by the yard and waved, but the other party didn't see him and went straight into the side house.
Xiang Yao put down his hand, took a big bite of the cucumber, and chewed it with a crunching sound.
During the past few days since her cousin came back, he treated the Xiang family like a hotel. He would leave early and come back late every day, only sleeping at home. He would disappear early the next morning and no one knew what he was doing.
But it seems that he has decided not to be an apprentice, and his family doesn't even care about him.
But think about it, whether he decided to go out as an apprentice or not, it was all Xiang Ming's own decision, and the opinions of his family could not influence him at all.
Plus, he has a bad temper, so his family is actually a little afraid of him.
To be honest, she was quite curious about what Xiang Ming was doing, but she never had the chance to ask.
After waiting for Xiang Ming to leave the house, Xiang Yao took the opportunity when he was washing his face by the well to pat his broad and strong shoulders: "Brother Ming!"
"Oh, you scared me!" Xiang Ming, his head full of water, suddenly jumped forward. Seeing that it was Xiang Yao, he patted his chest exaggeratedly and said with a smile, "You little girl, why are you walking like a cat? There's no sound at all! I'm going to be scared to death by you sooner or later!"
Xiang Yaoxin said you are like a cat, startled all the time...
She rubbed her hands with a smile: "Brother, what have you been doing these days?"
Xiang Ming snorted wildly on his face, shaking off the water droplets, and raised his thick black eyebrows: "What are you doing?"
Xiang Yao: "Nothing, I was thinking if you do something to make money again, you can take me with you!"
Xiang Ming smiled and looked at his sister. "I don't really have any good ways to make money. These past few days, I've been following Xiaofei up and down the mountains and rivers looking for it! You know Liu Xiaofei, right?"
Xiang Yao nodded: "I know, I know. Are you planning to hunt wild game? Or mountain products?"
Shitang Brigade is surrounded by tall and continuous mountains. There are all kinds of things in the mountains, but most people don’t have the ability to go deep into them.
Xiang Ming smiled proudly: "Whatever you can do, as long as you can make money! But with your small arms and legs, I'm afraid you can't join us."
Xiang Yao had no way to refute it. With her physical strength, she really couldn't go up the mountain or down the water. She would probably collapse halfway and would be a real burden.
But...
Xiang Yao: "If you get some mountain products, you have to sell them secretly, right?"
Xiang Ming nodded: "Of course, why would I get it if I don't sell it for money?"
Xiang Yao smiled slyly, like a little fox: "I know a good sales channel. If you need it, I can introduce it to you."
Last time, Nie Baichuan said that she could swallow as much cargo as possible. If Xiang Ming needed it, she could really help him connect with him.
Xiang Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Do you know someone like this? Hurry up and introduce him to your brother!"
Xiang Yao nodded and replied simply, "Okay, I'll find a time to contact him as soon as possible."
Xiang Ming patted his cousin's arm and said, "My dear sister, don't worry. If you can help me find a stable channel, I won't treat you unfairly and will definitely give you a referral fee!"
Xiang Yao smiled with her two rows of pearly teeth shining, and said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll take the introduction fee."
After saying this, Xiang Yao turned around and prepared to leave, but Xiang Ming stopped her: "Hey, wait a minute, I want to ask you something."
Xiang Yao turned around: "What's the matter, Brother Ming?"
Xiang Ming carefully observed Xiang Yao's expression, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I heard from Xiaoyi that you've found someone?"
Xiang Yao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Brother Ming, you are too uninformed. You have to listen to this kind of thing from a child."
Presumably, the Xiang family's mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law knew Xiang Ming's temper and were afraid that he would make a scene, so they kept their mouths shut and wanted to wait for the matter to become a done deal.
Or perhaps they hadn't expected that the news would eventually reach Xiang Ming's ears through a child.
Xiang Ming patted her lightly: "What's going on? The little girl said you were unhappy and there was a quarrel?"
Xiang Yao nodded honestly: "Yes, your sister-in-law, your mother, and our grandmother introduced me to a partner."
Although she spoke lightly, her tone was full of sarcasm.
Xiang Ming frowned: "Isn't that a good partner?"
Xiang Yao took another bite of the cucumber and mumbled, "Anyway, from what I've heard, he's pretty bad. Not only is he crippled, but he also beat up his last girlfriend. He's a complete domestic abuser. I just don't know who's worse, him or my brother-in-law."
Xiang Ming was stunned, a complicated look in his eyes: "This is too bad."
"Yes," Xiang Yao said, "It's really too bad."
She shrugged her shoulders: "But they insisted that I marry them."
Xiang Ming clenched his fists and said, "I know you don't want to marry into a family like this. How about this? Next time this family comes to visit, tell me a day in advance and I'll have a good chat with them."
When he said "let's have a good chat", he certainly didn't mean to really have a good chat.
Xiang Yao had no doubt that if the Zhou family did not cooperate, her brother Ming would not hesitate to use his fists and feet to punish them.
She smiled brightly and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
Xiang Ming patted her head randomly and said, "Okay, it's settled. I'm going out to get busy."
Xiang Yao asked, "You're not home for dinner again?"
Xiang Ming waved his hand, leaving behind a dashing back: "No, Xiao Fei has a big shipment! I have to go work!"
Xiang Yao chewed the cucumber with a crunching sound and watched the young man walk away.
When I turned around, I saw Ye Fang coming out from the vegetable garden at the back, carrying a basket of vegetables and peppers.
Ye Fang glanced outside, then looked away and asked with a slight smile, "Yaoyao, was it Ah Ming who was talking to you just now?"
Xiang Yao glanced at her, and after all, he said "hmm" coldly, thinking that one should not hit someone who smiles at him.
"You cousins have such a good relationship. I don't think Ming's relationship with his second brother and me, his sister-in-law, is as good as his relationship with you."
Ye Fang smiled lightly, as if she was saying that the weather was really nice today, but there was a hint of invisible sourness in her words.
To be honest, Ye Fang doesn't like her brother-in-law very much.
There was nothing much to say to each other, let alone laughing and talking so hard that the sound of their voices could be faintly heard in the vegetable garden.
What's more, once Xiang Ming came back, the space in the house became a little less, which made her worry. What if Xiang Yao got married, and her in-laws thought that Xiang Yao's room should be given to Xiang Ming so that he could get married? What should she do then?
She didn't want to work so hard only to make things difficult for Xiang Ming.
But putting all that aside, she was very jealous of Xiang Ming's abilities.
Xiang Ming was not as rigid and inflexible as Xiang Jun. Every time he went into the mountains with others, he would bring back some food.
If he stayed at home more often, he could eat more meat at home.
At the same time, she couldn't help but suspect that Xiang Ming had a good relationship with Xiang Yao, and he might have given Xiang Yao a lot of extra subsidies in private.
Even before he became an apprentice, she had seen her brother-in-law secretly feeding food to Xiang Yao, more than what he gave to her Xiaoyi!
It is obvious that Xiang Jun and Xiang Ming are brothers, but why should the benefits go to Xiang Yao, who is from a different family?
As her sister-in-law, she certainly felt very uncomfortable.
All the complicated thoughts burst out at that moment, and then she heard Xiang Yao's light voice reaching her ears——
Xiang Yao: "Why, sister-in-law is jealous?"
Ye Fang smiled awkwardly: "Girl, why do you say that? I was just expressing my feelings."
Xiang Yao threw the last bit of cucumber head next to a hen's claws and said nonchalantly:
"What's there to be sentimental about? Relationships between people are maintained by both parties. If I treat Brother Ming well, then Brother Ming will treat me well too. Of course, if someone treats us badly, then naturally they can't expect us to treat them well either."
Who would want to be close to Ye Fang, the type who's always fighting and always giving Xiang Ming the cold shoulder just because she thinks Xiang Ming lives a better life and gets more than Xiang Jun for no reason?
Even my brother-in-law is not happy about it.
Xiang Ming wanted to avoid his sister-in-law Ye Fang whenever he saw her, for fear that she would think he had gained some advantage.
Xiang Yaoke saw this clearly. But Ye Fang and his wife didn't think about whether they had done something wrong, but instead blamed Xiang Ming for being insincere.
Tsk tsk.
They are all gods.
