Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 522: Burn!

Qiao Xiaomai spoke with a strong and overbearing tone, leaving no room for rebuttals.

Qiao Changshun’s lips moved. He wanted to say something, but found himself speechless.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhaodi recalled the morning incident, “Uncle, didn’t you forget about this morning when you were pulled off the donkey cart by Grandma, and you almost fell?”

Qiao Changshun suddenly remembered the disgraceful incident from the morning.

Back then, he was so scared of the Sun Family that he was scrambling around on the ground.

Moreover, he had been pursued by the Sun Family’s horse carriage all the way from the fields back to his house. It was a truly frightful journey!

Exhaling, he picked up his chopsticks and decided to stay quiet.

Hua Xiaofeng huffed, “You’re too soft-hearted. Don’t handle any matters related to the Sun Family anymore. If we don’t intimidate that old witch, Luhe will definitely be put through hardships once she returns.”

“Tell me, you’re not actually considering getting married again, are you?!”

Thinking of this possibility, Hua Xiaofeng’s expression changed instantly.

Zhuang Family was officially related to Qiao Xiaomai, with Zhuang Luhe being the bond between both families. Zhuang Luhe’s status absolutely could not be shaken!

Seeing the deadly look on Hua Xiaofeng’s face, Qiao Changshun shrank back, hurriedly shaking his head and explaining, “No, no, no.”

Hua Xiaofeng slapped the table and coldly threatened, “Just now, I beat that old hag Sun till she was in a miserable state. If I dare to take care of her, you know what that means!”

Qiao Changshun shrank back again, “I know, I understand.”

Seeing this, Hua Xiaofeng finally felt satisfied.

Qiao Xiaomai saw all of this and chose not to say much.

Though Hua Xiaofeng was Qiao Changshun’s stepmother, she was, in essence, an elder. There were things Xiaomai couldn’t say herself, but it was perfect if they were said by Hua Xiaofeng.

Soon after lunch, Qiao Changshun, Qiao Dami, and Qiao Zhaodi went to work in the fields, while Qiao Xiaomai, Hua Xiaofeng, Zhuang Jia, and Qiao Yindi all climbed onto an ox cart and set off for Sun Family’s dilapidated shelter.

Having just been beaten, Sun Family’s matriarch ran back to the Qiao Family’s old courtyard.

Yingniang’s horse cart was startled, and by the time she calmed down the horses, she had lost her way.

She asked around for directions, and her return to Qiao Family’s old courtyard coincided with the arrival of the Sun Family.

Seeing Sun Family’s distress, Yingniang was shocked. “Should we cancel this marriage?”

So fierce, it’s terrifying!

While Qiao Meipan was treating her wounds, Sun Family’s matriarch chided, “No way! How can we give up such a good marriage so easily!”

“What should we do now?” asked Yingniang, looking worried.

They didn’t even get to see Qiao Changshun’s face.

“Today, you should go back to County Town. Come back tomorrow and in the meantime, I’ll think things over,” replied the Sun Family’s matriarch.

Hesitant, Yingniang nodded in agreement. After all, there was no other choice.

After Qiao Meipan finished treating the Sun Family’s matriarch’s wounds, Yingniang sent her back home with the horse cart.

As they approached Sun Family’s dilapidated shelter, Qiao Xiaomai directed Hua Xiaofeng, Zhuang Jia, and Qiao Yindi to spread firewood around the shelter, ensuring it was distributed evenly to facilitate faster burning.

When the Sun Family’s matriarch spotted the unusual scene in front of her house from afar, she stood still for a moment. Then she fiercely whipped the horses and shouted, “You dare!”

From a distance, Qiao Xiaomai heard the matriarch’s scream. She poured the jar of pig fat she had brought along onto the firewood by the shelter’s door and quickly ignited it with a fire hook.

Dry firewood met the raging flames, which were then fueled by the oil. In a matter of moments, Sun Family’s dilapidated shelter was ablaze.

The heatwave soared. Qiao Xiaomai quickly directed the donkey cart a few steps back to avoid it.

Hua Xiaofeng, Zhuang Jia, and Qiao Yindi also hastily retreated.

Sun Family’s matriarch let out a howl and fell from the carriage. She recklessly charged towards the fire, shouting, “My house!”
