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

Chapter 1237: Chapter 1236 The Sun Family Is Not the Most Despicable One_1 Chapter 1237: Chapter 1236 The Sun Family Is Not the Most Despicable One_1 Shopkeeper He spoke while crunching on a cucumber, and by the time he finished his words, the cucumber was also gone. He casually wiped his hands on his clothes and added, “These cucumbers you’ve grown are too crisp, how many do you have? Do you want to supply them to Extremely Delicious Residence?”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

Shopkeeper He changed the topic so quickly that Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but cast a complicated glance at Tong Sanlang who was not far away.

Tong Sanlang was directing people in moving the wheat, his tall figure standing in the blazing sun like a young poplar tree.

She pursed her lips and looked back towards Shopkeeper He, “Are you saying that the Sun Family is helping Sun Junyan with work?”

“Yes, hasn’t she always treated Sun Junyan like a precious egg? Even though Sun Junyan is now a prisoner, her thoughts haven’t changed,” Shopkeeper He said with a sigh.

“The amount of food for each prisoner is fixed daily, only two fist-sized pieces of cornbread and a bowl of boiled wild vegetables, which is hardly enough to fill the stomach. The Sun Family would give her portion of cornbread to Sun Junyan, only drinking the soup of boiled wild vegetables.”

“Surely those wild vegetables can’t fill a stomach, so she quietly pulls out wild vegetables to eat while working.”

Shopkeeper He said, nodding towards the manor entrance’s path, “There are wild vegetables growing by the side of the road where they’re working, right? She just pulled them up and ate them raw.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

She couldn’t help looking towards Tong Sanlang again who was not far away.

Both mothers, yet why is there such a difference?

If Zhang Family had even half of the maternal heart of the Sun Family, she would certainly obediently offer up the silver, providing Zhang Family with whatever comfortable life she desired.

Indeed, people are discerned through comparisons. Initially, she detested the Sun Family, wishing she could slash at her with a knife.

But now, after hearing these words, the target of slashing needed to be changed.

The Sun Family wasn’t the most hateful one.

“What was Sun Junyan’s reaction?” she asked. “He just watches his own mother eat wild vegetables raw?”

“What else could he do besides watch open-eyed? He’s heartless. Back then, for a little silver, he forced the Sun Family to kneel before you. Do you think he would feel any pity for the Sun Family?” Shopkeeper He retorted.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips. If Sun Junyan were before her, she would definitely have struck him.

How could such a rotten person possibly have such a mother with a heart full of kindness!

Unfair!

Grinding her teeth, she asked, “Where are the mother and son now?”

“They’re in the County Town prison right now. The road from Bailu Town to the Capital City has been completed, and His Majesty has issued an edict to construct the road from Bailu Town to Prefecture City,” Shopkeeper He explained.

The roads with more foot traffic are repaired first.

Many people coming to Bailu Town have to pass through Prefecture City, so now they’ve started repairing the road to Prefecture City.

“Alright, when I have some free time in a couple of days, I’ll go with Sanlang to see this mother and son working on the road,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

Shopkeeper He was puzzled, “What’s there to see about them?”

“To let Sanlang’s mother learn what being a real mother is like.”

Shopkeeper He, “…Her eyes are blind, she can’t see, taking her there is useless.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

She let out a long breath, releasing the frustration in her heart before saying, “Then consider it a threat. If she causes more trouble, the Sun Family’s fate will be hers.”

Shopkeeper He “…”

He gave Qiao Xiaomai a thumbs-up but said nothing more.

As a mere shopkeeper, he dared not meddle in his employer’s affairs too much; no matter how awful Zhang Family was, he still had to address her as ‘Madam’.
