Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm - Chapter 471: 471: Zhu Cuiying's Idea

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Zhu Cuiying’s Idea

“Xiaomai, it’s not that I don’t want to help your grandfather, it’s that he doesn’t allow it,” Zhu Cuiying replied hastily upon hearing her words.

Ever since Sun Family had beaten them up last time when paying taxes, Zhu Cuiying and Qiao Changfu started to help Qiao Qinghe with work again. But Qiao Qinghe refused, which put them in a difficult position.

Sun Family even came to scold them again.

They felt aggrieved.

Qiao Xiaomai and Sun Family were both pressing them to help Qiao Qinghe, but he didn’t allow it. So what could they do?

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai gave her a glance and said, “Can my grandpa really stop both of you? If you really wanted to help, you could have gone to the east field when grandpa went to the west today. Must you follow grandpa wherever he goes?”

Zhu Cuiying was left speechless…

They dared not work without Qiao Qinghe. If he wasn’t aware that they were the ones helping, wouldn’t their kind offer go unnoticed?

“Alright, let’s eat.” Seeing Zhu Cuiying had nothing to say, Qiao Qinghe broke the silence.

What’s the point of such a family, each wearing a mask of hypocrisy?

“Grandpa, you don’t have to torture yourself like this, really, the past is the past,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

Compared to the rest of the Qiao Family, Qiao Qinghe was indeed good.

Therefore, she didn’t mind what had happened in the past, and is willing to lend a hand to Qiao Qinghe now.

“No need,” Qiao Qinghe shook his head, “Sun Junyan can help.”

Sun Junyan was still working for Cen Hong.

Cen Hong had become the county magistrate of Huai’an County, and Sun Junyan often followed him to do miscellaneous chores.

Cen Hong also didn’t treat Sun Junyan poorly, and gave him quite a few taels of silver.

Sun Junyan gave all the silver to Qiao Qinghe, saying, “Dad, I once said that when I become successful, I would provide for you. I am keeping my word.”

But Qiao Qinghe didn’t take a penny and threw all the money back in Sun Junyan’s face.

He considered himself as not having a son like Sun Junyan.

Though Qiao Qinghe disowned him, Sun Junyan didn’t mind and often brought home things to show his filial piety.

“If I need help, I’ll ask Sun Junyan. You don’t have to worry,” Qiao Qinghe said again.

“How is he doing now?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.

“He’s working for General Cen.”

Qiao Xiaomai let out a long “Oh,” before saying, “That’s good.”

At this, Qiao Qinghe smiled, “Enough about him, let’s eat.”

“Okay, okay, let’s eat.” Qiao Xiaomai also started laughing and picked up her chopsticks.

At the dinner table, Zhu Cuiying and Wu Yinfeng said plenty of pleasing words, and all Qiao Xiaomai did was laugh and occasionally respond. The star of the meal was supposed to be Qiao Dazhu, who was about to get married, but everyone seemed to ignore him.

Qiao Dazhu didn’t seem to mind and quietly ate his meal.

Qiao Ying and Qiao Meipan both kept their heads down and quietly ate their meals.

In the past, they had bullied Qiao Xiaomai a lot, especially Qiao Meipan, who had followed the Sun Family to Qiao Xiaomai’s home to plunder several times.

In just a few short months, Qiao Xiaomai had trampled everyone in Anping Village, becoming the most important person in the village.

Yes, she didn’t just step on the maidens and the young women, she stepped on everyone.

Under these circumstances, they naturally had to keep their heads down.

With no one causing trouble, the meal was quite harmonious.

After the meal, just as Qiao Xiaomai was about to go home with Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami, Zhu Cuiying stopped her.

“Wait, Xiaomai, I have something to tell you.”

After contemplating over Qiao Xiaomai’s words yesterday, she immediately went to the Tong Family.

She proposed to Tong Sanlang.
