“Xiaomai, what do you mean by that?” The expression on Sun Junyan’s face didn’t change.
“As a well-read man like Uncle Five, you should be able to understand my meaning.”
“Are you accusing your grandmother of abusing you?”
“I don’t dare to use the word ’accuse’. Uncle Five truly is a scholar, every sentence is putting a label on this country girl.” Qiao Xiaomai laughed.
Sun Junyan’s furrowed brow relaxed, his gaze turned to Qiao Changshun standing at the door, a faint smile appeared on his face, “Big Brother, are you too going to listen to Xiaomai’s wishes and report our mother to the village chief?”
Qiao Xiaomai’s words were impervious to oil and salt, he could only shift his attention to Qiao Changshun. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝒃𝒏𝓸𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝙢
Qiao Changshun rubbed his hands, uncomfortably stating, “Cold jelly noodles, tofu and bean curd are all Xiaomai’s ideas, she decides on this matter.”
Hearing up to this point, Mrs. Sun couldn’t hold it back any longer, “You wretched girl, you think it’s reasonable to wholesale our recipe?!”
The pressing matter now is to find shopkeeper He and get back the silver he swindled, why are they wasting time arguing about this!
“Exactly, forget about reporting or not reporting, the most important thing is to get the silver back!” Qiao Changfu spoke up.
Mrs. Sun and their purpose of coming was to find Golden Mountain and Silver Mountain, this was straying too far from the main topic, wasn’t it?
“It’s my recipe, even if I wholesale it, it’s my business. Besides, I’ve already made a written agreement with He Zhanggui. What exactly are all of you trying to achieve by coming here with such aggressive attitudes? Do you want to take the silver I made from selling the recipe, or do you want to swallow my tofu business?”
Qiao Xiaomai looked at the group of people, a cold smile hanging on her lips. freewebn(o)vel
“What nonsense are you talking about!” His thoughts being stabbed, Qiao Changfu started to argue back, his excuse was righteous and stern, “This is a big issue, your grandparents should be informed. This could have been a great opportunity to improve our family’s situation if it hadn’t been wholesaled by you!”
“Changshun, Xiaomai is an ignorant child, are you also ignorant! This is simply nonsense!”
The word ‘nonsense’ was used, the originally disdainful onlookers instantly had a new thought.
In the village, the Tong family slowly developed by selling vinegar, the Jiang family made a fortune from selling pork, if Qiao Xiaomai didn’t wholesale her recipe but made steady profits, the Qiao Family could have been the third prosperous family in the village.
Wholesaling a recipe that could influence the fate of a family, such action can indeed be described as nonsense.
Qiao Changshun rubbed his hands again, his expression more troubled, “If this matter were informed to you, how many copper coins would Xiaomai get? You all even thought about selling Xiaomai to a brothel…”
Initially, he had no feelings about this matter, but this thought suddenly made him feel that his worries were correct.
If they asked for the recipe of cold jelly noodles and tofu, would these people directly sell Qiao Xiaomai quietly and monopolize this recipe?
At these words, Mrs. Sun immediately jumped up, “Xiaomai is my granddaughter, how could I possibly sell her to a brothel!”
Qiao Changshun stayed silent, lowering his head.
Qiao Xiaomai started laughing, “Grandma, selling me to the brothel was what you said yourself, don’t deny it, a lot of people heard it, if I really take out the recipe, you would sell me even faster.”
“The recipe is my idea, how 1 choose to use it is my business. After years of oppression from all of you, none of you have the right to accuse me now.”
“When my family was poor, you all came to suck us dry, now that my family can make some money, you come talking about family, do you think we’re stupid?”
