Chapter 446: The Powerful Person Who Dares to Confront the Sun Family Head-On
“Xiaomai, you have indeed changed a great deal!” Zhuang Jia exclaid joyfully at Qiao Xiaomai, “I didn’t believe it when others told . Oh my, I can hardly recognize you now!”
Hua Xiaofeng snorted, then spoke, “Since you’ve cozied up to the wealthy, naturally you’ve changed a great deal. So much ti has passed, and you haven’t even visited ho. Do you not plan to acknowledge as your grandmother anymore?”
Qiao Xiaomai looked at her inquisitive and doubtful gaze. She smiled, and said, “Uncle, grandmother, let’s go in first.”
“Oh oh, okay.” Zhuang Jia tied the donkey to a poplar tree at the entrance, took two parcels of pastries from the donkey cart and followed Qiao Xiaomai into the house.
The Qiao household had not changed much. As Hua Xiaofeng walked in, her gaze swept over the vegetable garden, the chicken coop and the storage shed. She snorted again, “Didn’t you say you’ve t a benefactor? Why does everything still look the sa?”
Qiao Xiaomai’s newly built house was completed and she ca with Zhuang Jia.
Everything she saw was as it had been back then.
Qiao Xiaomai chuckled, “Grandmother, Uncle, please sit down, I’ll get you the sour plum soup.”
“Oh, there’s sour plum soup?” Hua Xiaofeng did not heed the stool pointed out by Qiao Xiaomai. She went directly to the hall. “Everyone’s making a big deal about you outside. They’re saying all sorts of things. Have you hidden all your good things in your house?”
“Oh my goodness, indeed wealthy!”
As soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw a money basket on the table and imdiately shrieked. “Son, co and see! So much money, just casually left on the table!”
Saying this, she walked out, holding the basket in her hands.
The basket was originally for storing sewing supplies, but because the Qiao family had to pay wages to workers every day, it was used as a money basket. It was full of copper coins.
Though the copper coins seed a lot, there were only three and a bit strings, equivalent to a little over three taels of silver.
Hua Xiaofeng walked out, admiringly carrying the money basket, while Qiao Xiaomai ca out of the kitchen with two bowls of sour plum soup.
Seeing her action, Qiao Xiaomai did not say anything, she placed the two bowls of sour plum soup on the table, “You must be thirsty after such a long journey, try this.”
Zhuang Jia laughed and responded, “You sit down too.”
He then looked at Hua Xiaofeng, sowhat helplessly, “Mother, what are you doing with Xiaomai’s money?”
“She herself put it in the hall, can’t I just look? Not even allowed to look?” Hua Xiaofeng glared at him.
“Feel free to look.” Qiao Xiaomai didn’t mind.
Compared to Sun Family, Hua Xiaofeng looked like she had so manners.
If she wanted sothing, she would say it directly and not steal.
Not steal.
Just this point alone was good enough.
“Listen, Xiaomai didn’t say anything, why are you complaining!” Hua Xiaofeng, looking victorious, proudly carried the money basket and sat down next to the small table.
“Xiaomai, what’s going on with you now?” she asked.
Zhuang Village was on the east of Bailu Town, quite a distance from Anping Village, even a journey by donkey cart would take over two hours.
Unlike the modern ti where news travelled quickly, the news of Zhuang Luhe’s departure did not reach Zhuang Village until Yang Wenxiao’s arrival.
Yang Wenxiao’s visit to Bailu Town was a big event.
Villagers from nearby sward to Bailu Town to watch, even if they couldn’t see the Emperor himself, it was good enough to catch a whiff of the royal presence from the crowd.
Anyway, for that half a month, the villagers in the area were all sowhat excited.
However, although most of them couldn’t see Yang Wenxiao, so of them did. He didn’t clear the streets every ti he went out, and a few tis Qiao Xiaomai was with him.
