Qiao Changshun was already standing at the door. Upon hearing Sun Family’s words, he looked at Qiao Xiaomai.
The head of the Qiao Family was now Qiao Xiaomai, not him.
Qiao Xiaomai turned to Qiao Changshun directly, “Grandpa, what does grandma mean by this?”
Not wanting to meet Qiao Xiaomai’s clear gaze, Qiao Qinghe turned his head to glare at Sun Family, “Old woman, get back here!”
Acting bold because of Sun Junyan’s support today, she dismissed his words, stormed into Qiao Xiaomai’s house like a gust of wind, “We need to clear things up today about the cold jelly noodles & tofu and bean curd! Having a feast without me, the mother, you unfilial son!”
As she passed Qiao Changshun, she didn’t forget to extend her hand and poke him hard.
Due to his lame right leg, Qiao Changshun was unsteady. Under her forceful poke, he staggered a few steps to the side, almost falling over.
Seeing this, Sun Family scoffed, stormed into the courtyard.
She glanced at the dining table, muttering under her breath, but never stopping her movement. Just like in the past, she walked straight into the hall, opened up Qiao Changshun’s bedroom door and started rummaging through.
When Qiao Changshun’s family used to live in the thatched hut, she’s done this quite often.
To ensure that Qiao Changshun’s family remained poor and unable to eat their fill was a delicate operation for her. She needed to accurately assess exactly how much money and grain this family possessed.
Upon opening the box kept at the foot of the bed, she only found a few pieces of clothing and not a single cent.
Still not giving up, she squatted down to check under the bed, beneath which there were only shoes owned by Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami -nothing else.
Her muttering grew louder. Leaving Qiao Changshun’s room, she stormed into Qiao Xiaomai’s room.
Qiao Xiaomai’s room was same as Qiao Changshun’s – a table, a bed, a box for clothes and nothing else. In order to pay for Qiao Changshun’s medical treatment, they had sold everything else they could.
The freshly-tiled house looked new from the outside, but it was actually very simple inside.
Even after turning Qiao Xiaomai’s room upside down, she didn’t find a single cent.
Just as she was about to examine the bricks under the bed, one by one, to see if any of them was loose, Qiao Qinghe entered.
Seeing all the clothes and beddings thrown onto the floor, he felt dizzy from anger.
“Old woman, come out! If you don’t, I’m going to call for the village chief!” He took a deep breath and leaned against the wall for support.
Sun Family, about to crawl under the bed, completely ignored his threat.
She was absolutely sure that Qiao Xiaomai’s family had a fortune hidden somewhere, but she didn’t find a single cooper coin, so where could Qiao Xiaomai have hidden all the silver!
Qiao Qinghe watched her undignified behavior, nearly choking on his anger. Gasping for air, he staggered outside, “Xiaomai, Xiaomai! Quickly, call for the village chief, hurry!”
He couldn’t control Sun Family anymore, he needed Tong Tiehu to intervene.
Qiao Xiaomai and Qiao Dami were standing next to Qiao Changshun, supporting him from each side. Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai looked towards Qiao Dami, who immediately said, “1 will go!” and started running towards the village chief’s direction.
The scene of Sun Family storming into their rooms was all too familiar, they knew what was happening inside.
Qiao Changshun anxiously looked at Qiao Xiaomai. In the past, no matter where Zhuang Luhe hid the silver, Sun Family would always find it.
Qiao Xiaomai gave him a reassuring look.
All her possessions were in her space. Sun Family wouldn’t even be able to lay her eyes on a single copper coin..
