Chapter 503: Chapter 503: You must have followed the Sun Family yourself!

“Dami, let’s go.” Seeing that Qiao Dami was ignoring Qiao Changshun, Qiao Xiaomai started to leave.

“Hey, Xiaomai, what are we gonna do if granny comes back after you’re gone?” Qiao Zhaodi put down the axe and hurriedly walked forward a few steps to persuade her.

“Yeah, Xiaomai, you know how stubborn granny is. If you’re not around, she might just bring that woman home directly.” Qiao Yindi also warned.

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

She stopped in her tracks.

Knowing how shameless the Sun Family was, it was entirely possible they would pull such a stunt.

She turned to Qiao Yindi, “Yindi, go and see what’s happening in the old courtyard.”

When Madame Sun came earlier, she didn’t look like she had taken a long journey; she must have prepped in the old courtyard.

Even if they really did bring a woman over, she would probably be placed in the old courtyard first.

Qiao Yindi readily agreed and ran out of the door.

Only then did Qiao Xiaomai turn to Qiao Changshun and huffed, “Dad, go work in the fields. Dami and I need some peace.”

Even though it’s hard work on the farm, they usually took a break during the hottest part of the day.

Asking Qiao Changshun to work in the fields at the moment was a clear indication she didn’t want him to be comfortable.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun wiped the tears from his face and continued to explain, “Xiaomai, I’m just used to…”

“If you really want to continue serving the Sun Family, I won’t stop you. Go live with her in that shanty.” Qiao Xiaomai huffed.

“After my mother returns, we can split the family. You can go with the Sun Family and the three of us will live by ourselves!”

“I didn’t…I didn’t! I won’t do it again, I promise!” Qiao Changshun quickly shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes, led Qiao Dami inside, and closed the door.

This blockhead Qiao Changshun was literally driving her to death.

Qiao Changshun sat in the courtyard, tears streaming down his face. After Qiao Zhaodi chopped up the stool that Madame Sun had sat on earlier, she went to him, “Uncle, get up.”

Qiao Changshun hummed in acknowledgment and got up groggily.

“Let me fetch you some water so you can wash your face.” Qiao Zhaodi went to get a basin of water.

After he washed his face, she said, “Uncle, why don’t we go and collect some firewood together?”

It would let Qiao Changshun clear his mind, and give Qiao Xiaomai some peace.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun sighed, rubbed his tired eyes and agreed.

After Qiao Changshun and Qiao Zhaodi left, Qiao Xiaomai and Qiao Dami walked outside.

Qiao Dami’s face was no longer upset thanks to Qiao Xiaomai’s words earlier.

The gloom and anger on Qiao Xiaomai’s own face had also subsided.

Becoming ill from anger was not worth it, especially if it was because of Qiao Changshun’s stubbornness.

Soon, Qiao Yindi came back from the old yard with the information needed, “Xiaomai, only Granny and Uncle are in the old courtyard. There’s no strange woman there.”

“What’s Sun Junyan doing?” Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow.

“He’s chatting with grandfather in the courtyard about the provincial examination. I didn’t really understand. Granny is chatting with Aunt Meipan, Aunt and her family are in the house and haven’t come out.”

An examination?” Qiao Xiaomai chuckled.

She nearly forgot that before Sun Junyan became Cen Hong’s lackey, he was a scholar of Bailu Academy.

The three-year provincial exams were coming up, and Sun Junyan would be taking part.

Moreover, who was behind Madame Sun’s sudden wish to arrange a marriage for Qiao Changshun?

Was it Madame Sun herself, Sun Junyan, or even Cen Hong?
