96 Bad Daughter-in-law

Ms. Niu added to her list of complaints. “It is Qi who is stingy! He is hiding his skill. If he had taught Erlang and Silag how to hunt in the mountains, everything would be great!”

Ms. Fang’s face sank. “Ms. Niu, you can discuss with Mr. Zhao about this, but shut your mouth in front of me!”

Mr. Zhao only recognised Qi as a talent, and only offered to teach his skills to Qi.

At that time, when they saw Qi gaining a lot of things every time he came back from the mountains with Mr. Zhao, they were eager to do the same.

The third second section of the family only had one son, who was studying and did not want to do this kind of work. But Third Uncle offered to learn the skills himself, and Erlang as well as Silang from the second section of the family chipped in as well.

But Mr. Zhao did not think that they were talented enough, so he turned them down straightforwardly.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle got so annoyed that they kept causing trouble in front of the first section of the family and making complaints about Mr. Zhao, seeing that he was alone in the village.

They were unconvinced about his decision! Shao Xiaoqi was so young, what could he do? Why did Mr. Zhao accept only him as the disciple?

Was he saying that they were worse than a pint-sized boy?

However, though Mr. Zhao was no longer as popular and influential as before, he was still capable of disciplining a couple of villagers.

So, he taught both of them a lesson quietly, before they decided to give up.

Mr. Zhao was a very skilled man, who knew that he could not face the world like before, but he did not want to die without sharing his skills. Hence, when he spotted a talented boy like Qi, he thought about imparting his knowledge to the boy.

He taught Shao Xiaoqi how to do martial arts, which was much more difficult and powerful than hunting. But he did not allow him to reveal to anyone that he knew martial arts.

That Second Uncle and Third Uncle were disciplined by him was known only to the two of them. They were so scared that they did not dare do anything. Neither Ms. Niu nor Ms. Ma ever understood why their husbands gave up.

That was why Ms. Niu remained unconvinced about the matter and started to crib about it again.

She became rather irritated when she heard what Ms. Fang said.

She was about to counter her when she saw Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan coming. She closed her mouth instantly, snorted and left with one rabbit in her hand.

Ms. Qiao was not a good daughter-in-law. She was going to defend her mother-in-law and fight her. It was not worth the while for her to stay and listen to her speech. It was her own fault that she did not have a powerful daughter-in-law. Her daughter-in-law only knew how to take things from her home to her mother’s family. What a horrible comparison!

Ms. Fang was asked by Qiao Xuan to plant melons in the yard. Hence, they all went to do the work together.

Ms. Fang was glad to hear that she had got watermelon veins.

She knew what winter melons were, but not watermelons. Hearing the explanation from her daughter-in-law, she realized that it must be a sweet kind of melon that could be eaten without being cooked. She looked at her daughter-in-law and felt that she was going to make a large amount of money again, which made her feel really happy.

So, she asked Shao Taotao and Ms. Xu not to reveal a thing to anyone else in the family.

Qiao Xuan arranged it so that the melon was put next to the grape vine. It was a very broad place and with her superpower, she was going to make sure the melons would grow well.

Shao Xiaoqi, Shao Taotao and Ms. Xuo offered help too.

“Fifth sister-in-law, what should we do with the veins?”

Ms. Xu was very satisfied with Qiao Xuan. She was more than willing to help with labor and laundry as well.
