Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Humiliation

Qiao Xuan said nothing.

Madame Qiao got so angry that she started to breathe heavily, glaring at Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Wei got annoyed too and snapped. “If you dare to do that, dad will punish you!”

Qiao Xuan smiled and said calmly, “So what, Elder Miss?”

“You…”

Madame Qiao got stuck in wards as well.

True, so what?

The bare-feet people were never afraid of those with shoes, and Qiao Xuan was the former.

She was not afraid of losing face, but they were!

If she did put forward that to the governmental office, the Old Master would be absolutely humiliated, so would she. By that time, the Old Master would blame her for what she had done.

Madame Qiao clenched her teeth. “What do you want?”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “I told you, I want the real dowry I deserve. Madame Qiao, just get the money equal to that, okay?”

“In your dreams!” Qiao Wei snapped. “Shame on you!”

Madame Qiao sank her face and said after a while, “You are Old Master’s daughter, and you should get some benefits. 50 liang, and seal the note, no more requirements in the future, otherwise you will be punished!”

Qiao Wei got startled. “Mom…”

Madame Qiao turned to Qiao Wei who shut up and glared at Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “That is so little, Madame Qiao, I need 500 liang!”

Qiao Wei screamed. “You are a robber!”

Madame Qiao also became annoyed and laughed angrily. “Who do you think you are, worth 500 liang? 100 liang, or no deal.”

“400 liang, and nothing less! I am Officer Qiao’s daughter.”

“300 liang, and that is all!”

“…Alright then, 300 liang will do.”

Qiao Wei felt as if her heart had broken. “Mom, how can you say yes? 300 liang, she isn’t worth that much!”

Madame Qiao patted her hands and sneered. “Just pretend as if we were buying some things and donating to the temple. As long as she leaves us alone!”

Qiao Wei was not convinced. She glared at Qiao Xuan, feeling as if a part of her had been ripped off.

Well, she was more selfish than her mother anyway…

300 liang was enough to buy a set of excellent jewelry for herself…

Soon, Madame Qiao asked Auntie Ling to get the money and asked Qiao Wei to write the note, showing that Qiao Xuan got 300 liang from Madame Qiao and they were going separate ways from that moment on, without any more blackmailing or demands.

Qiao Xuan also got one note, sealed on it without hesitation.

Madame Qiao threw a disdainful look at her and put away the note. “Just leave, you can have lunch and go, no more visits from this moment on!”

Qiao Wei added and sneered. “No more visits! No one likes you here!”

“Don’t worry.” Qiao Xuan said inwardly, “I wish you could forget me totally!”

She got up. “I will skip lunch. We will be heading back home. It is not closeby.”

Hearing what she said, Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei felt slightly better thinking that she had married into a poor family.

Qiao Wei sneered. “You aren’t staying for lunch? Honestly, we have hens, ducks, fish and other meat, you won’t have this much after you step out of the door.”

“No, thanks!”

Qiao Xuan had no interest in arguing with her over some unnecessary things. She joined Shao Yunduan and together, they left the mansion.

In the mansion, Qiao Wei was still very unhappy about giving away the 300 liang.
