Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 519: Forcing help

Eldest Madam Qiao and Second Madam Qiao exchanged a look before going to help Madam Qiao.

Old Madam Qiao’s expression was sullen.
Though she didn’t say anything, she inwardly felt a bit of regret.
However, at the same time, did she say something wrong? Obviously there was something wrong with her daughter.
Such an obvious fact, even her idiot second daughter-in-law could see it, how could she not? What was her daughter spitting blood for?

Seeing that her mother had no reaction, Madam Qiao’s heart was full of shame.
Smiling bitterly in her heart, she thought: Retribution! This was retribution…

She gently pushed her sister-in-laws away and wiped the sweet-scented blood away from the corner of her mouth.
Then she said: “Father, mother, she won’t give the money.
Didn’t you see what kind of person she is? She won’t give it!”

The Qiao family looked at each other, startled.

Madam Qiao’s words could be said to be enlightening.
Thinking about it, yes, she was like this.
Any other woman, if the Qiao family sent a matchmaker to their door, they would happily agree to the marriage.

But not only did she not agree, the matchmaker couldn’t even enter her yard!

And today…

It was horrible!

But no matter how terrible she was, what waited tomorrow was even more terrible.

Tomorrow might be bright and sunny but who knew if they could survive until the day after tomorrow.

The faces of all the Qiao family members changed, including the old madam and Old Man Qiao.

“Vicious! Too Vicious!” Old Madam Qiao muttered.
“That girl is too vicious…” Suddenly, she shouted angrily: “I’ll go apologize to her! I’ll kowtow and beg her with this old face!”

She looked at Madam Qiao.
Although her eyes no longer had the coldness of just now, they were still unrelenting.
“You take me there, I will go and beg her myself!”

Madam Qiao’s heart was already numb.
Smiling wryly, she said: “Mother, didn’t you see? It’s not that this daughter doesn’t want to help but since the matter on that day, I can’t enter her house.
They won’t let me in at all…”

“What’s so difficult about this?” Eldest Madam Qiao said quickly, “Just go to your village head’s wife and let her take mother over.”

“Yes, help us say a few words!”

Old Madam Qiao’s eyes were lit up and she was instantly revive: “That’s it! Let’s go, let’s go to your village head’s home!”

Madam Qiao understood that they would not be reconciled until they had given it a try.
This was just how they were.

“I’ll go too.” Old Man Qiao announced, also standing up.
“As long as she is willing to help us, I will also apologize to her.”

He said this as if his apology was worth something great.

In the end, Madam Qiao was forced to bring her parents to Village Head Zhang’s house.
It had not been that long since the matter of Lian Fang Zhou had become widely known.
Seeing them, Madam Niu’s expression turned a little ugly.

What was this? Did this have anything to do with her family, why did they come to her house?!

Embarrassed, Madam Qiao tried to smile and chat with Madam Niu about their visit but before she finished talking, Madam Niu didn’t hesitate to refuse.

She was not a fool, why would she do such a thing?

Thinking that this was Madam Qiao’s idea, Madam Niu gave her a very dissatisfied look.
She even wanted her to get involved in the Qiao family’s affairs.
This kind of thick-skin really couldn’t be described!

Old Madam Qiao regarded Madam Niu as a life-saving straw, how could she give up so easily? Bitterly begging Madam Niu, she said every good thing she could and finally knelt down.

Forced by this, Madam Niu had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
Madam Niu hated Madam Qiao very much and gave her a hard look.

Unenthusiastically, Madam Niu led the three Qiao family members to the gates of Lian Fang Zhou’s house.

As soon as Bi Tao opened the door, Old Madam Qiao took it for granted and tried to walk inside.
However, Bi Tao unceremoniously stopped her and said to the two servants behind her: “The Qiao family is here again! Go and have someone bring the rope and rags!”

“What are you doing! We’ve come with Madam Niu to have a good talk with Lian Fang Zhou!” Old Madam Qiao cried, jumping!

Bi Tao glanced at Madam Niu, who winked and smiled reluctantly, and understood a little bit.
Glaring at Old Madam Qiao, she snapped: “Fine! Madam Niu can come in.
As for you, just wait here.
I need to ask Miss first! Our miss has ordered that those of the Qiao family are not allowed to step through the door, for fear of dirtying the yard!”

Old Madam Qiao turned white with anger.

Madam Niu, however, felt extremely happy to hear this and said gloatingly: “In that case, you should wait first!”

Old Man Qiao and his wife felt that they had lost face in front of Madam Niu and were very angy, but they didn’t dare to force their way in.
They could only swallow their anger and agree.

Bi Tao was not polite to them, closing the door with such a loud bang that their hearts jumped.

“Rude!” Old Madam Qiao gritted her teeth and cursed, her face red and white.

After a while, Bi Tao opened the door.
Madam Niu was standing beside her.

“Can we go in?” Old Madam Qiao’s eyes lit up.
Then she added provokingly: “Doesn’t Lian Fang Zhou still have to give the madam of the village head face?”

Bi Tao glared at her, saying quickly: “Don’t provoke me! Don’t go putting gold are your face, who are you to the madam of the village head? You’re even implicating her face!”

Madam Niu smiled indifferently and said to Old Man Qiao and Old Madam Qiao: “Fang Zho said, if you have anything to say her to, tell me and I will tell her.
You don’t have to go in!”

Old Man Qiao froze.
They hadn’t expected Lian Fang Zhou to be so ruthless.

He couldn’t help but glance at Madam Qiao.
Seeing her eyes wandering with her mind in a daze, completely indifferent, it was obvious that she didn’t intent to put in a good word for them.

Annoyance bloomed in his heart, thinking that it was true what they said! Girls really were fickle and unreliable at critical times!

Looking at Bi Tao and Madam Niu’s posture, he knew his family would not be able to enter the door.
Since they couldn’t see her, they couldn’t use all eighteen martial arts skills.

Hurriedly, he said: “Then I will have to trouble Madam Village Head to tell Lian Fang Zhou that what happened earlier was our fault.
We shouldn’t have come to make trouble like this! If she is angry, we two elders would like to give her an apology.
Even if she wants us to kneel and kowtow, we are willing!”

Madam Niu didn’t say anything.
She just nodded, waiting for him to continue.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while and seeing thy had nothing to add, Madam Niu looked stunned.
“Is there anything else? You don’t have anything else to say?”

This couple had spent so much effort to pester her onto this trip, Madam Niu didn’t believe that they just wanted to apologize to Lian Fang Zhou!

“Madam Village Head, please say so first!” Old Man Qiao said with a smile.

His calculations were very precise.
According to his thinking, he was an old man apologizing.
Shouldn’t Lian Fang Zhou, as a junior, respond to this?

Wouldn’t she feel guilty and let them in?

If she was truly a person of etiquette, she would come and invite them in herself!

TN: This couple is driving me crazy!
