Surprisingly, the tense atmosphere between the Xus and the Fangs disappeared almost completely due to her unintentional meddling. Xusi’s expression also became more natural. Fangsi, who was observing silently, was even more satisfied with Qiao Xuan and felt that she had chosen the right daughter-in-law.
As for Xusi? She was stubborn and narrow-minded, and didn’t listen to advice. She used to say a few words, but now she couldn’t be bothered. Besides, the eldest son was obedient and filial, and Xusi’s stubbornness wouldn’t lead to any trouble. Of course, a more relaxed atmosphere at home was always better. In rural areas, people paid more attention to breakfast and dinner – eating a good meal in the morning for energy to work and having a decent dinner after a long day.
But as for lunch? It could be more casual. Today, they had porridge with red beans for lunch. It was just right, not too thick or thin, and served with a few pickled vegetables. After two meals, Sha Yunlan noticed that Qiao Xuan didn’t show any disgust towards the family’s meals or anything else. In fact, Qiao Xuan seemed to have no disdain or disgust for anything in the family.
Honestly, Sha Yunlan was somewhat surprised and felt a bit guilty. He had previously thought of her in a rather negative light and realized that he had misunderstood her. She was so cooperative, should he…show a little kindness? After all…she had just arrived at the Sha family, so she must be feeling uncomfortable and restrained… However, Sha Yunlan was a little reluctant to take the initiative to talk to Qiao Xuan – he had angered her before.
He was torn, to the point where he didn’t notice he had been looking at her for too long. Qiao Xuan casually saw this and smiled as she walked towards him, softly asking, “Oh, does my husband have something to say to me?” Sha Yunlan felt like a wolf that had been caught red-handed, and averted his gaze, saying calmly, “Nothing, just…if you have any difficulties, let me know since you just arrived.”
Qiao Xuan blinked and her lips curled up. “Okay!” Sha Yunlan was taken aback, and his heart skipped a beat for a moment. He thought she would scold him again, but he didn’t expect to hear those words. Her melodious voice was gentle and sweet, making it difficult for him to respond for a moment.
Feeling a little flustered, he dared not look at her and said, “Um, I have to go now!” Qiao Xuan suppressed her laughter and nodded, her voice still gentle and sweet, “Okay, take care, husband!” Sha Yunlan ran away as if escaping. Qiao Xuan watched his retreating figure and inexplicably felt a bit embarrassed and flustered. She covered her mouth and bent over, letting out a light chuckle. This person is really interesting hahaha… Her mood instantly became a little lighter, and she hummed a song as she turned around to continue organizing her dowry.
There were quite a few miscellaneous items and exaggerated packaging that hadn’t been sorted properly yet. At around four o’clock in the afternoon, Shao Xiaoqi, who knows where she came from, returned with her clothes covered in mud and grass seeds. She was wearing grass shoes, which were also dirty.
