Chapter 539 I Can’t Come Up with a Chapter Name
Zhang Family’s face was like a dye house, Qiao Xiaomai always shattered her lowest expectations.
Previously, she wanted to disturb Sun Junyan’s studies and break the hopes of the Qiao Family, but now it turned into arson and nearly beating someone to death.
It’s too bloody terrifying!
This isn’t a daughter-in-lawhip, this is inviting an ancestor into the house.
Zhang Family had the intention smack the returning gong.
Yet thinking about the hardships faced these days, and the sweet juicy peaches in her hands, the gong in Zhang Family’s heart stopped.
She only wanted to return to the old days, not wanting to work and always having plenty of silver coins. This should fall within Qiao Xiaomai’s acceptable range, right?
If Qiao Xiaomai really marries over, given her family situation, she will have to work in the field.
Qiao Xiaomai, raised in delicate and tender conditions, can’t handle the hardship. When that times comes, it’s for sure she would willingly spend silver hiring people to work in the fields.
And XiaoMai’s cooking skills, now at home all we eat are vegetables, my taste buds are practically fainting from lack of flavor. Once Xiaomai marries over, we’ll surely have meat with every meal; even if there’s no meat, as long as the meal is cooked by Xiaomai, it surely will be delicious.
As for clothes, as her mother-in-law, Xiaomai will surely pay respects every year.
With such a fierce woman as Xiaomai, she didn’t want much more, just these small conditions, Xiaomai should be able to accept.
With this thought, Zhang Family took a deep breath and said, “Xiaomai, you must have reasons for taking actions against the Sun Family. That old hag from the Sun Family truly deserved some teaching. You did well.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help raising an eyebrow.
In order to avoid field work, Zhang Family was really capable of being flexible.
The day Zhang Family came begging for food, she was just as vicious as the Sun Family when speaking.
“I came over today with a sincere marriage proposal. Our family assets were confiscated and we don’t have much silver left. In order to prepare these items, I used the silver we’ve been hoarding. Look at this step shake, isn’t it beautiful? If you wore it, surely no one would be able to look away.”
Zhang Family opened the wooden box holding the step shake, showing Xiaomai what she had brought over this time.
Last time when she knocked on the door to propose marriage with a poor attitude and rude language. This time, she came prepared with sincerity.
In the countryside, when a family marries off a daughter, they usually present a few taels of silver as a betrothal gift. If someone is poor, several hundred wen would suffice.
This time she spent two hundred taels, it was truly sincere.
Qiao Xiaomai scanned over the items on the table, her attitude unchanged, still asking Zhang Family and Zhu Hongyun to leave.
If they wanted to manipulate these two people, they couldn’t accept too quickly.
Today was about venting past frustrations, Zhang Family would have to knock on the door at least four or five times before she would agree to the marriage.
With this idea in mind, in the end, Zhang Family and Zhu Hongyun were driven out by Qiao Xiaomai. Both of them looked so gloomy that it seemed they might start dripping water.
After good and bad words, accepting past mistakes, and showing the sincerity of this time, is this still not enough?
Afterwards, Zhang Family told Tong Xingda about all of it.
Tong Xingda currently in a state of life being hollowed out, took it all with an attitude of listlessness. After hearing Zhang Family’s words, he snorted, insulted, saying, “Idiot, what’s the use of only admitting mistakes, you also have to promise not to repeat them in the future.”
Admitting past mistakes, presenting sincerity at this time, promising future attitude, this was the full measure.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Family’s face cycled between red and white.
After struggling for a while, she was enlightened.
It’s just a promise, just do it, as for whether there will be a breach of promise in the future, that’s a matter for future consideration.
