Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Give Me the Food You’ve Cooked
Qiao Xiaomai’s performance was not exactly as she had imagined, but it was still decent enough to save her future mother-in-law some face.
However!
A hysterical woman coming out of nowhere accused her of being a beggar!
A beggar!
She has lived half her life and is now a grandmother, yet she was insulted as such by a mad woman!
Well, she really didn’t want to marry her son anymore!
With this in mind, she gritted her teeth and sneered, “There is no white flour at home now, we have to grind wheat into flour. By the time I finish making the noodles and deliver them to the field, they will definitely be starving.”
Originally, all she wanted was sour plum soup.
But now, after being scolded by Hua Xiaofeng, she wanted more than just sour plum soup, she wanted the meal that Qiao Xiaomai had cooked!
She tried to hide the gloominess on her face and put on a smile, “Your family’s meal is ready, and both your Grandpa Tong and Sanlang really like the food you cook, why don’t I pay for it and deliver it to them in the field.”
“The two acres of land we bought are quite far from our village, even if I rushed over immediately, it would still be late.”
Before Qiao Xiaomai could respond, Hua Xiaofeng jumped to her feet and yelled, “Shameless! We haven’t started eating and you’re already buying the food, do you know how much Xiaomai’s cooking costs? She cooked for the emperor, how can you think about buying her food if you don’t have at least one hundred taels?”
This shouting snapped Qiao Xiaomai back to reality.
Qiao Xiaomai never expected the Zhang family to say something like this.
She not only wanted sour plum soup, she also wanted a meal!
After thinking quickly, she smiled, “Okay, Grandpa Tong is an old man, why should he suffer such torment? Auntie, wait a moment, I will fill a food container for you.”
If the Zhang family wanted it, she would give it.
The Zhang family is her future mother-in-law, the first time she asks for something, she must give face to her future mother-in-law.
As Qiao Xiaomai turned to leave, Hua Xiaofeng paused in surprise and quickly called out, “Xiaomai, if you give her the food, what will we eat?!”
“We can just cook again.” Qiao Xiaomai replied.
“Why? We worked so hard cooking in this heat, why should we give her our meal just because she said so? Just because she’s the wife of the village chief, she can’t bully us like this can she?!”
“Exactly, Xiaomai, what exactly is going on?” Zhuang Jia couldn’t help but speak up.
Zhuang Jia had watched Qiao Xiaomai cooking the entire time, and he was already salivating. Finally, when it was time to eat, she wants to take it away.
This was too much!
Qiao Xiaomai laughed and said, “Uncle, I’ll cook something delicious later, let Auntie Tong take these.”
Seeing this, Hua Xiaofeng stomped her foot and looked towards Qiao Changshun, “Changsun, who is this woman exactly!”
Qiao Changshun nervously wrung his large hands, how to explain this?
After all, the Tong family wasn’t here to propose marriage.
Seeing Hua Xiaofeng’s furious expression, she chuckled coldly, “I am her future mother-in-law, she wants to marry my son.”
At these words, Hua Xiaofeng was taken aback, then immediately turned to Qiao Changshun, “Is Xiaomai engaged?”
“No.”
“Then what nonsense is she spouting!” Hua Xiaofeng scolded.
“She’s hugged and embraced our Sanlang countless times, if she doesn’t marry him, who else will she marry?” The Zhang family argued again with a cold smile.
“Hugged and embraced?!” On hearing these four words, Hua Xiaofeng was even more furious, “Is that something an unmarried girl should do?!”
“Look, she’s taking advantage of Xiaomai right now!”
