Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let’s Farm - Chapter 482

Chapter 482: Chapter 482: I Don’t Like Him

Qiao Xiaomai blinked, a look of surprise crossing her small face. “Proposing marriage?”

“Yes. I thought you were quite fond of Sanlang, so I…”

‘Aunt!’” Qiao Xiaomai interrupted the woman from the Zhang Family, “When did I ever show fondness for Brother Sanlang?”

‘What?’ The Zhang Family matriarch was taken aback, her brows knotted in a frown. “You kept calling him affectionately as Brother Sanlang, hugging him in public and frequently delivering food to our house, and now you’re telling me that you don’t fancy Sanlang?!”

She glared at Qiao Xiaomai, her cheeks flushed red from the sun, her eyes filled with angry, red veins.

She was about to explode with rage.

Previously, she had never paid any attention to Qiao Xiaomai, who she thought was as unassuming as a block of wood.

But somehow, this piece of wood had sparked a flame, not only making money but also frequently seeking Tong Tiehu’s help.

Help.

Ha, being so oppressed by the Sun Family, what’s the use of earning money?

She was still destined to be bullied.

Then, Qiao Xiaomai did something that left her absolutely astounded: breaking off an engagement!

Such outrageous behavior, and yet Qiao Xiaomai had done it!

She had even dared to threaten her own life!

My goodness, what a fierce temperament. What a nightmare it would be to marry into a family with such a daughter-in-law.

And so, her feelings towards Qiao Xiaomai quickly changed from disdain to disgust.

Initially, she disdained Qiao Xiaomai for being weak.

Later, she found Qiao Xiaomai’s boldness disgusting.

For this reason, she had warned son Sanlang several times against being bewitched by Qiao Xiaomai.

Now her family was in a difficult situation, she was willing to put aside her past dislikes and accept Qiao Xiaomai as a daughter-in-law, but Qiao Xiaomai had the audacity to say she does not like Sanlang!

This was a slap in the face to her previous efforts!

She herself had weighed the pros and cons before finally deciding not to care about the past, but now, Qiao Xiaomai dared to say she didn’t like Sanlang!

Qiao Xiaomai didn’t need her family at all!

This made her previous disgust and dilemmas all a waste!

This was a resounding slap in the face!

She had made a fool of herself!

Qiao Xiaomai looked at the fierce Zhang Family matriarch, and explained with a soft laugh, “I was expressing my gratitude to Grandfather Tong, and, of course, also thanking Brother Sanlang.”

“But as an unmarried maiden, how could I possibly have feelings for another man? Aunt, please don’t say such things in the future.”

“What about the Sour Plum Soup I asked for the other day? Why did you give it to me so willingly?” The Zhang Family matriarch took a deep breath, her hands clenched into fists, questioning angrily.

“That was also for Grandfather Tong.” Qiao Xiaomai explained, “Didn’t you say Grandfather Tong was working hard in the fields planting sweet potatoes? The man has helped me so many times, I couldn’t possibly refuse when his daughter-in-law came asking.”

“You!”

Looking at the innocent expression on Qiao Xiaomai’s face, the Zhang Family matriarch was shaking with fury.

Qiao Xiaomai took note of her reaction, saying seriously, “Aunt, although I am just a village girl, I’ve met quite a few influential people. Your words are tarnishing my reputation.”

“This could affect my relationships with these prominent individuals, so please refrain from making such statements in the future.”

At her words, the matriarch of the Zhang Family was so angry that her chest heaved and her cheeks blushed like a cooked shrimp.

She was even threatened!

She had assumed that as soon as she mentioned her intention, Qiao Xiaomai would shyly accept.

Why was the situation not developing as she had imagined!

“Aunt, if there is nothing else, please go back.” Qiao Xiaomai pointed to the door of the courtyard.
