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

Chapter 449: Chapter 449 I Will Definitely Find My Mother Back

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

She fell silent for a moment, “I’m a village girl, how could I possibly have a good relationship with a prince? Granny, don’t listen to nonsense from outsiders.”

How strange.

Hua Xiaofeng doesn’t have a favorable opinion of Zhuang Luhe, always turning up her nose and giving contemptuous looks. In the past she seemed to despise Zhuang Luhe to the point of wishing to make her work like an ox.

Now, however, she appeared to be completely in favor of Zhuang Luhe.

“Ah, Xiaomai,” Zhuang Jia seemed to have noticed her confusion. He picked up the bowl, took a sip of Sour Plum Soup to moisten his throat, and then spoke, “Your mother is a Zhuang by birth, so of course your grandmother would take her side.”

Hua Xiaofeng nodded vigorously, “Exactly!”

“Moreover, now that you’ve become skilled and capable, your grandmother is worried that you might…”

Before he could finish, Hua Xiaofeng slammed the table fiercely and yelled at him, “Shut up! Go drink your sour plum soup!”

Zhuang Jia shut his mouth, smiled at Qiao Xiaomai, picked up the bowl, and continued drinking his Sour Plum Soup.

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Qiao Xiaomai understood.

Zhuang Luhe was the link between the Zhuang and Qiao families. Now that the Qiao family had come into wealth, but the link – Zhuang Luhe – was missing, that’s why Hua Xiaofeng was in a hurry to find Zhuang Luhe.

Though Hua Xiaofeng appeared to be furious now, she was probably actually intimidated on the inside.

The wealthy one was her now, so Hua Xiaofeng had to curry favor with her.

Once she understood this, Qiao Xiaomai didn’t say anything. She said, “Granny, about finding my mother, I’ll definitely handle it. You don’t need to worry.”

“Handle? How? The emeritus emperor and the prince are already gone!” Hua Xiaofeng questioned.

“You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll definitely bring my mother back,” Xiaomai said.

If they had been poor before, it would have been understandable not to look for Zhuang Luhe.

But now that her family had a relationship with the emeritus emperor, if she didn’t go to find Zhuang Luhe at this point, that would be strange.

Although she could have used hatred for Zhuang Luhe as an excuse for hiding it, many people understood Luhe’s difficulties. Even if they hated her, they should still bring her back.

So, she should find her!

“Then you’ll be in charge of this. Your mother didn’t have an easy life either.” Seeing that Qiao Xiaomai said this, Hua Xiaofeng didn’t persist.

“Tell me what happened to your family? How did you become so skilled suddenly? And you even established a relationship with the emeritus emperor.” Hua Xiaofeng asked curiously.

“My craftsmanship was always not bad. After my mother left, I had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility of my family. Practice after practice, my craftsmanship improved.” Xiaomai said, “It was due to stress. At that time, I was either considering selling my house or selling myself. My hair was falling out in bunches from worrying.”

“The more pressure I was under, the faster my thoughts raced, and then I came up with new delicious dishes. I exchanged these dishes for silver.”

“My home… slowly got back on its feet.”

After Xiaomai finished, a pained look appeared on Zhuang Jia’s face, “Ah, you could have borrowed some money from your maternal family at that time, she didn’t need to leave.”

“There was also nothing much to offer at your home, uncle, my mother knew that.”

The Zhuang family was poor, barely making ends meet. Even if they went to borrow, they wouldn’t get much.

At that time, Qiao Changsun’s leg needed frequent treatments. Even without his medical expenses, he could not do any heavy work.

And they had to pay their taxes.

This wasn’t a problem that could be solved by borrowing silver.

Qiao Changsun, the pillar of the family had fallen, and all the hardships and abuses suffered over the years had caused Zhuang Luhe to lose all hope.

She completely lost all hope for the future.

So, she chose to leave.
