Qiao Xiaomai,

She immediately shook her head, picked up her bowl to drink porridge, “They didn’t offend me, but Brother Tong. Why should I plead for them?”

“You didn’t see the situation with your own eyes. Grandma dared to pant Brother Tong. If it were you, could you endure it?”

Brother Tong must have had the heart to kill the Sun Family. Expelling them from the village was the mildest resort.

Qiao Changshun stared at her in a daze, and suddenly said, “Yesterday, 1 saw Brother Tong was stunned to see you.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai lifted her eyelid to look at him.

Qiao Changshun feeling a little uncomfortable, rubbed his hands and avoided her gaze, “In fact, I think you and Brother Tong are a good match.”

Qiao Xiaomai,

She put down the bowl she was holding, her small face quickly covered with a layer of frost, “We were well off, why bring this up?”

“Are you truly not considering getting married? Brother Tong is the best young man I’ve ever seen.”

Qiao Dami, who had been silent all this time, chimed in, nodding like a pecking chicken, “Exactly, Brother Tong is the best!”

“Not even eating could shut your mouth, no talking, eat your meal.” Qiao Xiaomai glared at him.

Qiao Dami stuck out his tongue, not afraid at all, blinking his big eyes at her.

Qiao Xiaomai glared at him again, and then turned to look at Qiao Changshun. “Father, don’t say things like this anymore. I will go to town later, sell the tofu skin, and also inquire about the house.”

After she finished speaking, she picked up her porridge bowl and stood up to leave the kitchen.

She sat down under the tree and finished her porridge in silence, then put the bowl on the small table and got up to clean up the tofu skin she made these days.

Qiao Changshun sat in the kitchen, couldn’t help but sigh.

He had originally thought that Brother Tong might already be interested in

Qiao Xiaomai; if the two families became in-laws, then Qiao Xiaomai’s intercession might persuade Tong Tiehu to change his mind.

But seeing Qiao Xiaomai’s attitude…

Sigh, she couldn’t possibly not get married at all.

Qiao Xiaomai filled her backpack with tofu skin, came to the kitchen door, and greeted Qiao Changshun, “I’m going to town.”

Angrily, she didn’t let Qiao Changshun drive the donkey cart either; she would walk to town.

Qiao Changshun,”…”

Forget it, forget it. He wouldn’t bring it up for a while.

Qiao Xiaomai walked to the town, hesitated for a moment at the town gate, and still went to Zuixian Building.

After selling the tofu skin, she’d also ask Shopkeeper Zhou about the prices of houses in the town.

“Do you want to buy a house?” Shopkeeper Zhou was shocked.

“Yes, living in town is more convenient.”

At these words, Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly nodded, “Right, no need to travel back and forth.”

“This land around the town is actually in the hands of the Academy’s Head, Gu. When he built the academy back in the day, the emperor gave him all this land.”

“If you want to buy a house, you can go ask him.”

Many of the houses in the town were actually built by students’ families. After the students leave the academy, they sell the houses.

However, there’s no real estate agent here, or small ads posted everywhere, so they can only tell Academy Head Gu about selling houses.

If someone happens to want to buy a house at that time, it’s a win-win.

If no one wants to buy a house at that time, the student will sell the house to Academy Head Gu.

So, if you want to buy a house in the town, you can only go to Academy Head Gu.

After listening to Shopkeeper Zhou’s explanation, Qiao Xiaomai thanked him, but after leaving Zuixian Building, she didn’t head towards the academy.

Well…

In fact, this matter can wait..
