Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Let’s Get Married!
“Mother, we can just avoid direct confrontations with her in the future,” Zhu Hongyun advised, understanding Zhang Family’s intentions, “We can treat her well.”
“Treat her well?!” Zhang Family raised her voice.
Was that even possible?
She was nearly killed by Tong Xingda!
This grudge could hardly be resolved!
“Shh, Mother, calm down, just calm down,” Seeing this, Zhu Hongyun hurriedly comforted and explained, “When I say we treat her well, I mean we speak kindly to her in front of others.”
“Think about it, she has so much her own wealth, the pitiful amount of money we have pales in comparison.”
“In the future, we simply speak kindly, showing our amicable attitudes. Then, if we want to eat something or wear something, you think she won’t provide it for us?”
“You go to her house, she even packs the dishes she prepared for you in a food box. If in the future you have nothing to eat or wear, do you think she would refuse to help?”
Hearing these words, Zhang Family’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Seeing this, Zhu Hongyun quickly added, “Mother, you’re her mother-in-law, her elder. If you are kind and polite, we benefit with no downside. Our family gains another source of wealth. We lack something, we just have to ask her in a kind manner.”
“But what if she doesn’t agree?” Zhang Family asked.
Her feelings towards Qiao Xiaomai were complex.
There was no doubt that she didn’t want such a daughter-in-law, who dared to sever ties with her own grandmother and even threatened her with a knife.
Additionally, because of Qiao Xiaomai, she had been beaten these past few days. She wished nothing more than to return all the slaps Tong Xingda had given her back onto Qiao Xiaomai.
Yet, Qiao Xiaomai was wealthy.
Very wealthy.
She was not only rich but also knew how to make money. Even if there was another raid on the family, they could rely on Qiao Xiaomai to rebuild their wealth.
Moreover, so far, Qiao Xiaomai has been very kind towards her.
She desired Qiao Xiaomai’s wealth, but couldn’t handle her fearless personality.
So, should they go ahead with the marriage or not?
“Oh come on, ask for a few small things first, she can’t refuse. You are her mother-in-law, it’s only right for her to show you respect. Also, we have Sanlang,” Zhu Hongyun said.
“Sanlang seems obedient, but actually he always listens to your grandfather,” Zhang Family sighed with annoyance.
“But if you’re really starving or without clothes, wouldn’t Sanlang definitely do something about it? Besides, we’re women. All we need are food and clothes. With the immense wealth of Qiao Xiaomai, we can easily return to our old comfortable days.”
Zhang Family, hearing this, relaxed her brows.
Yes, she didn’t want much.
All she wanted was to return to their previous lifestyle.
Restoring those easy days of regular meat meals and no work, all it took was a flick of a finger from Qiao Xiaomai.
Surely, Qiao Xiaomai wouldn’t refuse such a small request, would she?
After a moment of thought, she spoke, “I’ll go ask Sanlang?”
“Go on, discuss it with him. It seems that he is also somewhat interested in Qiao Xiaomai.”
Tong Sanlang had always been indifferent towards the other girls in the village in the past.
Unlike Qiao Xiaomai, whom he had embraced several times openly in front of everyone!
Zhang Family got up and went to Tong Sanlang’s room.
Tong Sanlang was reading. Seeing her arrive, he put down his book, “What’s the matter, Mother?”
“Do you like Qiao Xiaomai?” Zhang Family was straightforward with her intention.
“No, I don’t.” Tong Sanlang’s reply contained not a hint of hesitation.
It was clear and straightforward.
