Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home-Chapter 14

Qiao Xuan Sees It Through

Qiao Xuan looked very pretty, and she was the daughter of the County Magistrate. The soul, at this moment, had been changed, so by this point, she looked confident, calm, presenting an air of dignity.

Both Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi instantly showed some fear.

“Hi, Fifth Sister-in-law…’

“Greetings… Fifth Sister-in-law…” 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

Shao Meiling was 15 years old, an age when girls loved to dress up well. She could not help but size up Qiao Xuan on the sly.

Seeing how she was dressed and what she was wearing, she could not help but show some greed.

Same went for Shao Xiaozhi. She couldn’t help but think of how her mother talked to her sixth brother about how lucky their fifth brother was, that he ran into the daughter of the County Magistrate and saved her. Her mother wished that it was her own son who had gotten involved in the incident!

If that had happened, then this fifth Sister-in-law would have been Sixth Sister-in-law on her side!

In this way, they would have become rich too, and her own sixth brother would have had a promising future!

As she was thinking, Shao Xiaozhi could not help but place her eyes upon the beautiful hairpin on Qiao Xuan’s head, thinking that if this woman were her own sister-in-law, then she would definitely have been able to ask her for that hairpin in a fair and open way!

Suddenly, an idea flashed across her head. She could ask her uncle for help. Uncle would definitely say yes to her request!

If her uncle could help her, Fifth Sister-in-law would definitely have to obey his order, otherwise she would be considered as a woman without filial piety!

Shao Xiaozhi could not help but feel cheerful, and involuntarily showed a look of joy.

Qiao Xuan had been sizing up these two girls, who were too young to hide their inner feelings.

So, Qiao Xuan had a good idea of what they truly were thinking.

Suddenly, she felt disgust arising inside her head.

On the other hand, she felt lucky that the eldest section of the Shao Family was not like this.

She replied to them with a smile and said, “You are the two cousins from the second and the third section of the family, aren’t you?”

Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi nodded. “Yes, we are…” f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

Qiao Xuan glanced over their heads. These two cousins were getting on well with each other, weren’t they? Taotao’s two silk-flowers were right on top of their heads, one for each!

Qiao Xuan took a step forward and removed the silk-flowers off their heads and said with a smile, “Aren’t these the gifts I gave to Taotao? Taotao, you are so nice to your cousins, even lending the flowers to your cousins! Taotao, I gave the gifts to you, you can let your cousins wear them for a while, but do remember to keep them well okay? They are my gifts to you!”

Shao Taotao got so happy and took the silk-flowers, nodding with a smiling face. “Thank you Fifth Sister-in-law, I will definitely keep the gifts well!”

She swore that she was not going to wear the silk-flowers in front of them. She was going to put them on at her own home, or just in the yard, not when she was out!

Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi were dumbfounded.

Only now did they realize what happened. They exchanged a look between themselves, and their faces started to sink.

They did not know Qiao Xuan well, so they did not dare to do anything to her. But they could show a bad look to Shao Taotao instead.

“Taotao, how can you be like this! Didn’t you say that you gave the silk-flowers to us as a gift?!”

“You are a liar, Sister, I am going to tell Uncle about this!”

Qiao Xuan turned speechless. This justice-filled tone would have generated a misunderstanding towards Taotao, if the truth had not been known to her earlier.

Shao Taotao’s face flushed as she argued. “I didn’t give them to you as the gift, you took them on your own!”

Shao Meiling said, “But you didn’t say no, right?! What do you mean by taking them back now?!”

Shao Xiaozhi spat out. “Bah, you are shameless!”

Shao Taotao was annoyed. “You are the shameless one!”

However, that was what Shao Meiling had been waiting to hear…
