Chapter 704: A Weird Mother

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“What are you talking about?”

“Ms. Qiao, shut up now!”

Second Uncle and Eldest Uncle shouted at Qiao Xuan at the same time.

Qiao Xuan was simply adding fuel to the fire at this time. Second Uncle was furious. “Ms. Qiao, what do you mean? How can you say things like that? Can anyone do anything like this? That is totally unhuman.”

Qiao Xuan sneaked a look at Ms. Zhangs face when she said those words. Ms. Zhang was startled by these words and her face turned red. She was panicking. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶freew ebnov el

Soon, she tried to calm down, but Qiao Xuan was more or less sure that Ms. Zhang had caused all of this herself.

What a mother!

But she was just a rural woman and she might have done this for the first time. So, she was not very good at putting on a calm face, thus exposing herself when asked by Qiao Xuan.

“Second Uncle, don’t be mad. I should not have said those words.” Qiao Xuan replied calmly. “But I was with my father and saw such cases in other counties, thus mentioning this out loud. A grandma hid the grandson and pretended that he was kidnapped. She forced her son and daughter-in-law to pay her so that she could use the money to help the useless younger son… Sorry, Second Uncle…”

Second Uncle sneered. He was very angry but he said nothing more. Qiao Xuan was County Magistrate’s daughter and she could not be lying when she said that there were cases like these. No one would be able to prove otherwise.

She might be a little over the top saying it, but that was reasonable as well.

Most importantly, the second section of the family did not have 100 liang, and they needed to get the money from the first section of the family.

Second Uncle did not care if he was getting the money as a loan. He barely had the energy to think about when or how to return the money.

If he offended Qiao Xuan, maybe they would not be able to get anything from them.

Qiao Xuan said sincerely, “I think so too. Only ruthless and heartless people would use this method to get money. Such people would always get retribution, and end up badly. Isn’t that right, Second Sister-in-law?”

Nis. Zhang was shocked. Her eyes became erratic. She got furious and embarrassed, as she screamed. “Why did you ask me this? How would I know about it?”

Qiao Xuan stared at her. “Don’t you think such people should be punished?”

Ms. Zhang turned pale. Her lips were trembling. She dodged Qiao Xuan’s question and cried painfully. “Parents, please, raise some money to save Xianwen first. Where is he now? He is so young and he may be suffering badly!’

Ms. Zhang covered her face and burst into tears.

Qiao Xuan could tell that she was panicking already.

Qiao Xuan left the money discussion to Ms. Fang, who would never let the second section of the family take advantage of them. Also, if Ms. Zhang had planned this, Shao Xianwen should be safe.

Ms. Zhang just needed money. She would not kill her son.

Qiao Xuan gave Ms. Yan a look, and two of them left the room.

In a quiet corner, Qiao Xuan asked. “Fourth Cousin-in-law, did Second Cousin-in-law ask Second Aunt-in-law for money these days?”

Ms. Yan was startled.

She wondered why Qiao Xuan would say so. But Nis. Yan replied clearly. “She did ask a few days ago. Second Sister-in-law asked her for 10 liang, saying that her mother’s family needed it desperately. She claimed that it was a loan and Second Brother’s salary would cover the payback..”
