249 Dumbfounded
Ms. Zhang was not interested in Qiao Xuan’s floral field. She just wanted to get close to Qiao Xuan.
If she was able to persuade Qiao Xuan to let her work for her, she could earn 10 won a day easily, which would be great for her.
But she also understood that the likelihood of it happening was very small.
Hence, she thought about borrowing money from Qiao Xuan.
Her brother’s wife was soon going to give birth to a baby, and they needed money. But her mother-in-law was too stingy to loan her any money, so she had to come up with some other ideas.
She had two sisters and one brother.
The three sisters were all taught to treat their brother well since they were young. They were repeatedly told that the brother was the only offspring of the Zhang Family!
Their brother had a sweet tongue and he treated his sisters well. So the sisters were good to him too, and continued to help him even after they got married.
Now his wife was going to give birth and she had to get some money and other things to help him!
She had been watching Qiao Xuan these days, and wanted to get close to her.
But Qiao Xuan barely stepped out of the house. Moreover, she was always with someone, so she never got the chance to speak with her.
So Ms. Zhang went to the floral field to meet Qiao Xuan, when she heard that Qiao Xuan was there alone.
But she was still a bit too late to run into Qiao Xuan inside. Otherwise, she could just have exchanged some more words with her alone.
She could even help Qiao Xuan do some work at the time, so that Qiao Xuan would not turn her down, if she made a small request.
Also, she never expected that Qiao Xuan was so blunt.
She had said it so straightforwardly, and Qiao Xuan should have at least approved this small request since they were in the same family! Why was she not allowed to see the floral field? But Qiao Xuan just turned her down!
She could also tell that Qiao Xuan had no interest in speaking with her, let alone getting close to her.
She needed to find another opportunity to speak with her alone. But the chance was very slim.
Ms. Zhang was so annoyed that she had no idea what to do.
Qiao Xuan did not bother about this encounter.
She was not even afraid of Ms. Niu, how could she be afraid of Ms. Zhang?
What she had not expected was that Second Uncle and Third Uncle came to their home again. Both of them were very displeased.
They kept blaming Qiao Xuan for hiring cousins rather than them, and said that it was not at all reasonable on her part.
She had promised to hire them when she had some more work to do.
Qiao Xuan told the others that she paid 10 wen a day, which Second Uncle and Third Uncle were happy to accept. It was always good to get some payment.
Qiao Xuan did not turn them down. She nodded and smiled. “Okay, but have you forgotten about the rakes we made for you? You can count and see how much labor you owe us? You can pay back what you owe us and then we can talk about payment.”
Both Second Uncle and Third Uncle were dumbfounded.
They had already forgotten about the labor, but for Qiao Xuan who mentioned that.
How much labor was that? It was worth more than 20 days!
So, they needed to work for the first second section of the family for free before they were able to get paid?
