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

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: She’s Marrying Down

Tong Sanlang’s bitter smile deepened, “No, we already don’t have enough people in our family as it is.”

Marrying into Xiaomai’s family was utterly impossible.

“So what should we do now? From the look of your mother earlier, I’m afraid she’ll hate me for the rest of her life.” The way her face swelled up showed she must have been severely beaten.

This grudge, it will probably never be resolved.

Tong Sanlang also fell silent, quickly finishing his ice cream. He handed the box to Qiao Xiaomai asking, “Did your family have guests today?”

“Yeah, my grandmother, she’s quite something. She was slinging out a string of words that left your mother trembling with anger.” Qiao Xiaomai recounted the situation from the early afternoon.

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang looked astonished, “Indeed, only a shrew like her could match the Sun family’s strength.”

“Indeed, she’s truly powerful. She never stops talking. My ears are still buzzing with the sound of her voice.” Qiao Xiaomai clicked her tongue a few times.

“But she does have a point, and it coincides with my and my grandfather’s thoughts. It seems, from now on, we should try not to interact publicly. You should start building your manor.”

“Build it grandly, let the whole village know, more importantly, let them know exactly how much money you have.”

Zhang Family has a deep-rooted impression of Qiao Xiaomai, a pitiful creature always seeking help when being oppressed by the Sun Family.

So they always looked down upon Qiao Xiaomai.

They knew Qiao Xiaomai was affluent, but they had no idea of the grandeur of her wealth.

Therefore, the task Qiao Xiaomai needs to undertake at present is to flaunt her wealth: by constructing the manor.

Furthermore, it would be better to invite some VIPs to boost her status.

So that Zhang Family realizes that Qiao Xiaomai has greatly evolved both in terms of wealth and status, pertaining to their clashing identity compared to the past. They should be fully aware of the current disparity between the two families.

Qiao Xiaomai is no longer the pitiful soul that always came seeking help after being oppressed by the Sun Family.

If Qiao Xiaomai gets married to him now, it would be a step-down for her.

Whereas for him and his family Tong, it will be marrying above their station.”

“In that case, you should hire a construction team from the town tomorrow to construct your manor,” he suggested.

People from Anping village usually contact Tong Tiehu whenever they plan to construct houses. Tong Tiehu informs everyone by ringing a bell, and whoever wants to earn some extra money can help out.

Previously, Qiao Changshun went out to construct houses like this and ended up breaking his leg in the process.

But constructing houses this way requires the homeowner to handle many things like purchasing bricks, laying the foundation, settling labour costs, and the likes, which can be quite bothersome.

The construction team in the town was initially formed under the lead of director Gu and its members are all skilled house constructors from nearby villages. When they are short on manpower, they hire people from the village as well.

Most of the houses in Bailu town were constructed by this team. frёewebnoѵēl.com

“When you hire this construction team, all you need to do is pay them. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

“But I haven’t finished drawing the blueprints,” Qiao Xiaomai remarked.

“Then just start by constructing the perimeter wall for now.” No matter what you build, a perimeter wall is a must, “The main aim is to let my mother see your wealth. Considering our family’s condition, she will certainly come around soon.”

“By then, when we propose marriage to you… and after you’re married into our family…” Tong Sanlang pursed his lips.

By then, Zhang Family would probably try to take advantage of Qiao Xiaomai’s wealth.

He was worried she won’t agree to marry.

But if she agrees to marry and they start living together, it will lead to more annoying issues.

What to do?

Would it be possible to solve the problem if we split the family?
