Translator: 549690339
“I don’t care for anything right now other than making money,” replied Qiao Xiaomai.
She ant every word.
Any man, regardless of what he’s like, she just isn’t interested in.
In her forr life, she had a boyfriend who was her college classmate.
Although he ca from a humble family, he treated her exceptionally well, so much so that she entirely trusted him. With her birth mother’s death and her father’s indifference combined with her stepmother’s manipulations, she naturally fell for him.
Though studying at university, she was ready to marry the man. She even bought a new house.
But then, she discovered that the man was intentionally approaching her on the orders of her stepmother. In the new house she had painstakingly decorated, she first bore witness to her boyfriend’s infidelity and was then nearly raped by a thug hired by her stepmother.
During her struggle with the thug, she suddenly developed a superpower of imnse strength.
She nearly killed the thug and the cheating couple, yet, although it was satisfying to take revenge, it also left a deep scar on her heart: a nausea for n and a loathing for marriage.
The revulsion for n she could hide on ordinary days, making it imperceptible to others.
However, her aversion to marriage was her Achilles heel, absolutely not to be ntioned, if it was brought up, her cheerful mood could instantly turn cold as winter.
So, at this mont, facing Gao Xiaoi’s probing questions, she used a lot of effort to maintain her facial expression. “Xiaoi, Third brother Tong may be good, but I and he can never happen. 1 don’t like him, and he probably also doesn’t like .”
“Uh…,” Seeing that Qiao Xiaomai was not shy, and even seed a bit irate, Gao Xiaoi put away her gossiping intentions and quickly nodded. “Alright, 1 won’t ntion it again.”
“Thank you for coming over.” Qiao Xiaomai’s hand hidden under the blanket squeezed a piece of cloth, and she managed to squeeze out a smile on her face. “I don’t have much to offer at my house. I’ll give you so bean sprouts as a thank you gift. Don’t mind if it’s not much.”
With that, Qiao Xiaomai called out loudly, “Dami, co in.”
Qiao Dami had been sitting by the stove boiling bean dregs for the chickens. Hearing the call, she rushed into the room, “Sister, what’s up?”
“Pack so bean sprouts for your sister Xiaoi,” ordered Qiao Xiaomai.
“Alright!” Qiao Dami complied and ran out to get a basket.
Gao Xiaoi shook her hands in refusal, “No need, no need, you rest up. I’ll be leaving now.”
She folded the nstrual cloths and tucked them into her chest, preparing to stand up.
Qiao Xiaomai quickly reached out to stop her, “You’ve co a long way and it’s not easy. Take these bean sprouts, I’ll feel uncomfortable if you don’t.”
“Uh…”
“You can also co visit when you have free ti,” Qiao Xiaomai added.
Although Anping Village was populous, she had no good friends.
From what she gathered, Gao Xiaoi seed okay, and it would be nice to get to know her better.
Gao Xiaoi nodded, “Alright, 1’11 co to play with you in the future.”
Did Qiao Xiaomai say she didn’t like Third Brother Tong because of what happened earlier, making her feel embarrassed?
Considering this, Gao Xiaoi decided to interact more with Qiao Xiaomai. It was rare that Third Brother Tong had feelings for a girl, she needed to do so matchmaking.
Carrying a basket of bean sprouts, Gao Xiaoi returned ho.
Her house was very close to the Tong family. When she arrived ho, Third Brother Tong was still at her place.
It was mid-afternoon, her parents were out working in the fields and her brother Gao Xiaoshan and Third Brother Tong were using a clump of washed hemp rope to weave a fishing net.
Seeing her co back, Third Brother Tong stopped what he was doing, “You’re back?”
