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

Chapter 448: Have You Never Thought About Finding Your Mother Back?

“All, Grandma, sit down first.” Seeing this mother and son standing their ground, Qiao Xiaomai got up with exasperation.

She pulled Hua Xiaofeng to sit down. “Even if you’re going to teach the Sun family a lesson, at least eat something first. You just arrived. Catch your breath first.”

Verbal fights between shrews are full of filthy words.

A physical fight, along with filthy words, leaves people with blood, messed-up hair, and disheveled clothes.

Qiao Xiaomai didn’t want to witness such a scene.

Regarding the Sun family’s, she really had no interest in provocation.

“What’s there to eat? It’s still early! Let’s go, find that old wench!” Hua Xiaofeng protested.

“It’s not early at all. It’s time for lunch!” Qiao Xiaomai pointed at the midday sun above, “My father and Dami will be back soon, let’s talk about this over lunch.”

At the mention of Qiao Changshun, Hua Xiaofeng spat fiercely on the ground, “Your father is a useless coward. Even when his own wife was beaten to death, he couldn’t even say a word! I was blind for letting her marry him!”

Qiao Xiaomai smiled faintly, choosing not to reply.

“Back then, a matchmaker introduced a widower who was a scholar to your mother. But she insisted that the scholar was untrustworthy, she was so stubborn and set on marrying your father. Look how that’s ended up!”

Qiao Xiaomai was surprised, hearing this for the first time.

Zhuang Jia couldn’t help but interject, “Grandma, that scholar was truly trouble. He beat two of his wives to death. It’s good that my sister didn’t marry him.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

Hua Xiaofeng snorted, “So marrying Qiao Changshun ended up any better? How much hardship has she been through all these years? If I’d known this, I would have stopped her from marrying him.”

“Air, sit down, sit down, those things are in the past, let’s not mention them now.” Qiao Xiaomai urged, pulling Hua Xiaofeng to sit down, “Grandma, my dad will be back soon. You can scold him when he arrives. Then, we’ll go find the Sun family, okay?”

“Okay!” Hua Xiaofeng was finally persuaded. She sat down by the table, picked up a bowl and gulped it down in one go, “Another bowl!”

Qiao Xiaomai went to the kitchen to serve her another bowl with a smile.

“Grandma, I’ve always told Dami that my mother left because she was forced to work by the Sun family. You must not slip up.”

These last few months, Qiao Dami had occasionally mentioned Zhuang Liihe. But he’s just a child, and she’d managed to distract him with some coaxing.

Now, with Hua Xiaofeng ready to make a scene, it was high time she explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaofeng glared back, “What good is it coaxing him alone?! The most important thing is to bring her back! Now you’ve gained clout with the emperor, haven’t you ever thought of asking the Grand emperor to find your mother?!”

Qiao Xiaomai blinked, she had never thought of this before.

Seeing her hesitate, Hua Xiaofeng banged the table and scolded, “You heartless girl, you’ve forgotten your mother who raised you. Now you’re in good standing, you’ve abandoned her to live in hardship!”

A woman who elopes with a strange man, in an unknown place, is likely to face hardships.

As a single mother raising two children, Hua Xiaofeng, despite disliking Zhuang Liihe, knows how hard her life was.

So she had turned a blind eye every time Zhuang Jia slipped some benefits to Zhuang Liihe.

“We’ve thought about searching, but we don’t know where to start. Besides, you shouldn’t listen to gossip, grandma. I just cook for the Grand Emperor, I wouldn’t dare ask him for favors.”

“Even without the Grand Emperor, isn’t there a prince? Aren’t you close with a certain prince?!” Hua Xiaofeng pushed on.
