Chapter 44 - 44 Stupid

44 Stupid

Ms. Fang let out a sigh of relief and smiled with happiness. “But I needed to tell you first, that’s all.”

Qiao Xuan felt moved and replied with a smile. “What about Mom asking Dad to deliver the flour to them? You can explain to them that I bought the rice because we are running out of food. I just don’t want the family to do the farm work while being hungry.”

“From this moment on, you can ask the Sister-in-law to make as much food as possible, without caring about the oil and salt. I have told my husband about buying some land for business. We are definitely going to get better and better. We don’t have to be too stingy about this…”

When the land was opened, Qiao Xuan had to share the story little by little, since they would not be able to hide the secret for much longer.

Ms. Fang understood what she meant. She nodded in realization and said with a smile, “No wonder you bought the land. You are going to use them!”

Her son was the Cultivated Talent, intelligent and reliable. If the purchase was a bad deal, he would have stopped his wife.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “You are so clever, Mom!”

Ms. Fang laughed. “Just do whatever you want. I know what to do.”

“Excellent, Mom!” Qiao Xuan replied with a smile.

Soon Ms. Fang got four kgs of flour and put it in two bags separately. She delivered them to the second and the third section of the family along with Eldest Uncle.

Eldest Uncle also believed that he should visit his brothers personally. So he tagged along.

The flour which Qiao Xuan had bought was the best sort of flour, most suitable for pancakes and noodles. Four kgs was already a lot for them.

That was why Elder Uncle was very happy and he felt so relieved after one sleepless night.

He felt that his youngest daughter-in-law was not all that hopeless. It was just that she lacked manners and was too young to understand things around her. He believed that she could be cultivated in the future.

“Brothers, we are here giving you some flour!” Eldest Uncle was very happy, as he walked in with a smile.

However, what he had not expected was that his brother and his wife were not very happy about it.

Ms. Niu took over the bag and snapped. “So little?! Fifth daughter-in-law bought a big wagon of things yesterday!”

Second Uncle also snorted. “It seems that Niece-in-law looks down at us. You are not treating us like a family!”

Ms. Fang suddenly realized why Qiao Xuan had asked her husband to come along.

Yes, she had been so stupid as not to think of this idea any sooner!

It had either been the brothers who came to fetch the things, or she, Ms. Xu or Taotao went over to deliver the stuff. Her husband had never shown up before this.

Ms. Fang stayed silent. She was going to see what her husband was going to say.

Eldest Uncle’s smile disappeared instantly. His body stiffened up.

He had not seen the scene where his brother and the wife would express their gratitude towards him…

“We don’t have much food at home. Ms. Qiao bought rice. Those small things which she bought were for herself and Duan…”

“Honestly, brother, we are not living separately! Ms. Qiao’s things are ours too! She is so selfish! You are making excuses, you just don’t want to give us any!”

“We don’t have any rice either! Brother, share some with us! You can’t just watch our children suffer from hunger, right?”

Elder Uncle gasped…

He was stuck with words.

The words that his daughter-in-law’s dowry had been coveted by the uncles and aunts were emerging inside his head…

If those things were for sharing, he would definitely share them with the brothers. But those were not part of the public resources.
