Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1239: The Car-pulling Sun Family_1 Chapter 1240: Chapter 1239: The Car-pulling Sun Family_1 “Meet? Why should I even see you?” Qiao Xiaomai wrapped her arms around her chest and asked with a beaming smile.

“You, a vixen bold enough to drug Tong Sanlang, should count yourself lucky I haven’t slapped you already. I’m still leaving some room for maneuver. Why should I, do you really think you have any future prospects?”

Zhao Lan relied on the Zhao family, a top-tier aristocratic family, but Yang Wenxiao had even dealt with Shen Chenghao, not to mention a family like the Zhao’s.

Without the thorn that was Shen Chenghao, all those aristocratic families became as meek as grandsons.

She was not afraid of the Zhao family at all.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan fell silent for a moment, then continued cracking sunflower seeds.

Her teeth had been knocked out by Qiao Xiaomai, but it didn’t affect her ability to crack seeds.

Her indifferent attitude took Qiao Xiaomai by surprise.

Truly, after seeing the hysterical screaming and irritability of Qiao Meipan and Bai Zhi, Zhao Lan’s demeanor felt refreshing to her.

“Could it be that you think, with the backing of the Zhao family, you will always be able to find a man?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.

This was previously Lady Zhao’s line of thinking, favoring Tong Sanlang when unable to secure a match with an aristocrat’s son.

Now that Zhao Lan had the experience of squatting in jail, she definitely couldn’t even land someone like Tong Sanlang, a scholar.

However, if she looked for a wealthy merchant, that could still work out; as long as the Zhao family didn’t fall, there would always be men willing to marry Zhao Lan.

Thinking this over, Qiao Xiaomai almost wanted to give Zhao Lan a thumbs-up, truly a woman who had braved the world, adaptable and resilient. Admirable.

She looked toward the jailer and asked, “Has she never actually done any work here?”

The jailer laughed guiltily, not daring to respond.

Qiao Xiaomai understood. “Here’s the deal, for the next month, make her work honestly and earnestly, and we’ll call it even between us. Otherwise, after I go back, I’ll write to the Supreme Emperor to expose her.”

Upon hearing this, the jailer immediately looked at Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan was skilled in martial arts and could take on ten of him; ultimately, whether she would work or not was up to her.

Zhao Lan rolled her eyes and glanced sideways at Qiao Xiaomai, tossed away the seeds in her hand, and walked towards the pushcart.

Qiao Xiaomai stood still, watching her coldly as she pulled the cart to load earth and then to the middle of the road to unload. With her martial arts skills, her strength exceeded that of an adult male, making this task quite easy for her.

As Zhao Lan worked dutifully, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t be bothered to make trouble. She turned her head and asked the jailer about the Sun Family, “Where is the Sun Family?”

“Right over there, at the very front. Please follow me; I’ll lead the way,” the jailer replied.

Qiao Xiaomai hummed and followed the jailer forward.

Seeing this, Tong Sanlang came down from the carriage and followed.

After walking about a li, they approached the front.

Gazing ahead, all they saw were prisoners in jail clothes. The jailer immediately found the one in charge of this section and quickly ascertained the whereabouts of the Sun Family, “Young Master Tong, Miss Qiao, the Sun Family is over there.”

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang followed the direction pointed out by the jailer, and indeed, there was the Sun Family.

The Sun Family looked emaciated, the prison garb hanging on her like clothes on a stick, her whole persona resembling a withered old tree, awkward to look at yet exuding an unyielding stubbornness.

She was shoveling earth into the cart with a iron spade, with three men working alongside her.

Once the cart was loaded, she put down the spade and moved to the front to pull the cart, while the three men were supposed to help push.

But clearly, the three men were just going through the motions without really exerting any effort, so most of the force needed to move the cart fell on the Sun Family.

Her hands gripping the cart handle, veins popping on the back of her hands, a rope looped over her shoulders, she leaned forward and pulled the heavy cart forward with all her might.
