Chapter 109: Comparison
Translator: 549690339
To tell the truth, in his opinion, if it weren’t for the incident involving Zhuang Luhe, Qiao Xiaomai was perfectly suited for Tong Sanlang.
Such a money-making daughter-in-law was unmatched in dozens of neighboring villages.
However, despite saying this, the gap between the Qiao and Tong families was huge. He kept his thoughts about marrying into the Tong family to himself, not showing a hint of it on his face.
But things were different now.
Despite the negative impact of Zhuang Luhe’s departure, his family had suddenly become the wealthiest in Anping Village.
Wealthiest!
What heavy words, as if a mountain. The weight was totally on par with the suppression that Tong Tiehu imposed on the Sun family’s Zhu Cuiying and others.
Therefore, he felt a bit restless inside, and the words ‘matched in social and economic status’ slipped out unconsciously.
In terms of family wealth, making money, appearance and diligence, besides having a mother with a bad reputation, Qiao Xiaomai was absolutely worthy of Tong Sanlang.
However, how can he arrange this match between the two…
Qiao Xiaomai gets upset whenever the topic of marriage comes up, and Tong Sanlang, he has never given an extra look at Qiao Xiaomai.
Ah, how troublesome.
Unaware of Qiao Changshun’s intentions towards Tong Sanlang, Qiao Xiaomai washed the pig intestines and picked a few chili peppers to prepare lunch.
She asked Qiao Dami to build a fire. She made a soup of pork hock and soy beans, and also fried the pig intestines.
When the pepper hit the pot, a rich aroma drifted out. Qiao Dami took a deep breath. Although it made him want to sneeze, the smell was so fragrant and enticing!
Qiao Dami sitting under the shed also smelled it and hurriedly asked, “What’s that smell?”
He said as he stood up, and limped into the kitchen.
Qiao Xiaomai said, “It’s the red fruit 1 brought back from the mountain.”
“What is it? Is it poisonous?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve tasted it, it’s spicy like the Cornelian Cherry, but isn’t bitter.”
Qiao Changshun, hearing this, was immediately alarmed, “How can you eat just anything!”
Qiao Xiaomai casually mentioned bringing back the chili, and he didn’t think much about it; who knew Qiao Xiaomai actually ate it!
How could she consume something of unknown origin!
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Qiao Xiaomai said with a smile, “Besides, everything on Rooster Mountain is non-toxic.”
Qiao Changshun choked, and sternly added, “That doesn’t mean you can eat anything.”
“Okay, okay, 1 won’t do it again next time.” Qiao Xiaomai responded perfunctorily, her hands continually stirring the intestines in the pot.
In a short while, the appetizing aroma wafted up, and Qiao Changshun unconsciously sniffed, “It does smell appetizing.”
“Isn’t it? It’ll definitely taste good. I’ve saved all the seeds. I’ll plant them in our vegetable plot in time to sell them.”
At these words, Qiao Changshun’s thoughts started to wander again.
Of course, he wasn’t thinking about future income, but about Tong Sanlang.
This girl, who could always find valuable things and make money, was indeed a suitable match for Tong Sanlang!
“Alright, let’s eat.” Seeing Qiao Changshun standing at the door in a daze, Qiao Xiaomai called out, “Dad, go wash your hands.”
Qiao Changshun’s wandering mind was recalled by her voice, and he hurriedly went to wash his hands with Qiao Dami.
Once he sat at the table and tasted the delicious chili, Qiao Changshun’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift back to the Tong family again.
This time he was seriously comparing the Qiao family to the Tong family.
In terms of character, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang are on par. Both are good individuals.
In respect to fields, his family has more.
In terms of money, the Tongs have more, but with Qiao Xiaomai’s clever ideas, surely his family will have more in the future.
Reputation, well…
Status, the Tong Family holds a minor official position, his family is commoners.
On making such a comparison…
