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

Chapter 297: Join in if You Have Silver



A guilty conscience?

Amends for wrongs done?

Qiao Xiaomai sneered, uttering it was all bullshit!

Her impression of Qiao Changkang had always been not that great. He and his wife, Wu Yinfeng, hadn’t actively caused trouble or bullied Qiao Changshun and Zhuang Luhe. But whenever Qiao Changshun and Zhuang Luhe were being bullied, they would certainly not lend a hand. If there was an advantage to be gained, they would join in on the bullying.

Given the circumstances of Qiao Changshun and Zhuang Luhe at that time, Qiao Changkang naturally wouldn’t tell who the culprit was.

Qiao Changshun had inexplicably received fifty taels of silver, and he must have been insanely jealous.

Seeing Qiao Changshun’s misfortune, he naturally felt happy.

But now Qiao Changshun had become prosperous.

It wasn’t because of a stroke of luck that he had silver, but he had truly become prosperous, with silver, land, and acquaintance with distinguished persons. Hence, Qiao Changkang had begun to ingratiate himself.

Using the matter of Qiao Chang’an causing Qiao Changshun’s broken leg to ingratiate himself, apologise, and simultaneously receive some reward money.

If it really was proven to be Qiao Chang’an, he could get another six hundred taels.

What a golden opportunity, according to Qiao Changkang’s nature, it was hard for him to refrain for one day.

In just an instant, Qiao Xiaomai figured out the journey of Qiao Changkang’s thoughts, and laughed coldly, “Making amends by solving the crime? Fourth Uncle, the reward 1 offered was aimed at finding who burned my wheat crop, not who broke my father’s leg.”

Upon hearing this, the look of guilt and regret on Qiao Changkang’s face froze. He panicked for a moment, but quickly said, “Xiaomai, this is a clue.”

He rolled up his sleeves, stretched his hand on the table, presented the facts, reasoned, “Look, my mother, and Junyan, they are now so worried about paying taxes that they could kneel down to beg for help. They have no time to burn your wheat.”

“Meipan, for a young girl, she certainly wouldn’t dare to run a dozen miles at night to burn your wheat.”

“Your Uncle and Aunt, Dazhu borrowed money for his new house from you. They certainly wouldn’t dare to offend you like this.”

“Also, there is the General, our general, he’s a military officer, if he wants to settle accounts with you, he wouldn’t have to resort to such means, right? A mere flick of his finger would be enough.”

“The only ones who bear a grudge against you are these few, they are all impossible. The most likely one can only be your Third Uncle. He has always held a grudge because your father snatched your mother from him. The last time he could be ruthless enough to break your father’s leg, this time he could set fire to burn down your wheat.”

Qiao Xiaomai continued to coldly laugh, look, as soon as she brought up the matter of the silver, Qiao Changkang immediately put away his guilty and regretful face, and began to ponder over this matter.

She lightly snorted and spoke, “My family is not the same as before. He doesn’t even have time to curry favor with me, let alone burn my wheat.”

“So, 1 said this is a clue. Others would not offend you for no reason, after counting back and forth, only he remains.” Qiao Changkang explained.

Realizing that he appeared a bit too eager, he quickly added, “Look, your family’s fortune has finally taken a turn for the better, and then this happened. My heart is like a burning fire. 1 have thought about it day and night that your family cannot always be the one losing out, so I came.”

“Of course, I was wrong before. I was blind and heartless, I let you down, Xiaomai, I ask for forgiveness from your family, 1 will certainly change in the future.”

Qiao Xiaomai set aside her sneer, “Then 1 believe you, Fourth Uncle. You can go home first, if this clue turns out to be true, I will give you these ten taels of silver.”

“Oh, it’s not about the silver, it’s my conscience. I don’t want to see your family suffer again and again.” Qiao Changkang emphasized..
