As soon as the girl from the Fan family said this, Old Farmer Fan felt that his boss was embarrassed, and he quickly apologized to Qiao Huaping: "...Don't mind, my daughter was raised by her grandma, so she is a bit..."
Fan Laonong couldn't talk any more.
He himself felt that his daughter was a bit out of her mind when she said this.
He glared at his daughter with anger and annoyance.
Madam Qiao was kind enough to take them to the county town, and even the shopkeeper of the Good Doctor's Hall treated them very kindly because of Madam Qiao's relationship, and even gave them a lot of advantage when it came to getting the medicine.
They are basically accepting two favors from Madam Qiao, how can they talk like this?
But the girl from the Fan family felt that her father was a little confused.
How pitiful this old woman is.
The old woman looked at the Fan girl up and down calmly, grabbed the Fan girl's hand, and looked very touched: "Little girl, you are such a good person."
She said solemnly, "It's much better than some people! And in front of the children!"
The girl from the Fan family held the old woman's hand sincerely and said, "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? I guess there is some misunderstanding."
Qiao Huabing said with heart, if she hadn't been the person involved, she would really have to praise her for being such a considerate person.
Fan Laonong was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
He anxiously explained to Qiao Huaping: "Ms. Qiao, this..."
Mei Qingyao had already stood up and said loudly: "That mother-in-law insisted on touching me just now. She was not related to her for any reason. My mother was just worried about me!"
Mei Qingyu also said coldly: "Isn't that right? The world is in chaos right now. Even children like us know that being courteous for nothing is either adultery or stealing. That girl, you don't know anything, so what qualifications do you have to come here?
Accusing my mother?"
Mei Qinghuang stood firmly with his brothers: "That's right! Besides, my mother has helped you before, but you are so indiscriminate, don't you feel ashamed and panicked?"
Mei Qingying was not as sharp-tongued as her brothers, but she was still young enough. She scratched her face with her little finger: "Shame!"
Many people in the teahouse had watched the whole scene and naturally knew who was right and who was wrong. They pointed at the Fan girl.
The girl from the Fan family was stunned for a moment, her face slowly started to burn, and she forcefully defended herself: "One code equals one code..."
The girl from the Fan family was so ashamed that it was difficult to explain, but Farmer Fan was so ashamed that he could hardly lift his head.
His daughter is really spoiled by him!
Qiao Huaping felt that the way her four children were protecting her was extremely heartwarming. She was so happy that she didn't bother to argue with the Fan girl.
She stood up with a smile: "Okay, we've almost eaten, it's time for us to go back."
The four children responded obediently: "Okay, Mom."
Fan Laonong watched Qiao Huaping lead the four children away. He was anxious, ashamed and annoyed, and didn't know what to say.
"You!" Fan Laonong looked at his daughter and was reluctant to say anything harsh, so he could only sigh heavily.
The girl from the Fan family pouted, and was a little angry that the man named Qiao brought four children in front of so many people, embarrassing her.
Qiao Hua was very cautious, and several of her children also condemned the Fan girl on her behalf, so she didn't take the matter to heart.
What she was thinking about right now was to ask Uncle Kun for help to see if he knew a suitable gentleman who could come to her home to teach her children how to read.
Since her yard had not yet been repaired, the matter was not urgent, but Qiao Huaping planned to ask Uncle Kun to inquire first. After all, a suitable gentleman would not be found in a short while.
When Uncle Kun heard this, he beat his chest loudly: "Ms. Qiao, you have found the right person for this matter. Thanks to you, our performance has increased a lot this month. Just don't worry, we are busy with public affairs and private life."
I will do my best!”
Hearing Uncle Kun's assurance, Qiao Huaping smiled and nodded.
Uncle Kun thought of something again: "... By the way, I remembered that there was an old scholar in Lidao Hutong not far from next door. He seemed to be having some free time. Madam Qiao, please sit down with the children first, have a sip of tea and some snacks, okay?
How long has it been? Let me ask you."
Qiao Huaping and a few children originally had a full meal of tea and snacks at the teahouse, but Uncle Kun couldn't resist his kindness, so Qiao Huaping had no choice but to thank Uncle Kun and sit with the children in the flower hall in the backyard to rest.
It happened that the shopkeeper of the ready-made clothing store had sent all the clothes over. Qiao Huaping took advantage of this opportunity to compare the dozen or so clothes she ordered one by one. There was nothing wrong with them, and then she folded them again.
However, before Uncle Kun came back, Wu Yourong, the third son of the Wu family, ran over panting.
He looked very happy: "Miss Qiao, I just came back from the provincial capital. I heard that you brought your children to the county town?... Did you have a good time today?"
Qiao Huaping smiled and handed over a cup of tea: "It's pretty good. I ate a lot."
Wu Yourong happily took the tea and drank it in one gulp.
Looking at it, it seems like I still want to drink.
Qiao Huaping poured another glass for Wu Yourong, and Wu Yourong drank it down happily.
Drinking tea actually gave me the energy to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
After drinking the glass, Wu Yourong looked at Qiao Huaping with some expectancy, and pushed the water glass towards Qiao Huaping.
Qiao Huaping almost laughed out loud: "Third Young Master, if you drink any more, you will be full of water."
Drinking water too quickly is not a good thing.
But having said that, Qiao Huaping still filled Wu Yourong's glass of water.
Wu Yourong smiled, but this time he didn't drink it all in one gulp. He held the tea cup and sipped it in small sips, as if he was holding some kind of fine wine.
Mei Qinghuang looked at it with greedy eyes, and took a sip of tea to taste the taste.
He just felt strange that this tea tasted similar to the tea they drank in the teahouse.
Wu Yourong only then thought of Uncle Kun: "Speaking of which, why haven't you seen Uncle Kun?"
When Qiao Huaping told Uncle Kun about troubling his husband, Wu Yourong was stunned and a little aggrieved.
Why didn't Miss Qiao ask him for help in this matter?
Could it be that in Miss Qiao's mind, he is just unreliable?
Wu Yourong held the tea cup, which made people burst into tears.
Fortunately, Uncle Kun went not far away and came back soon. He was still a little regretful: "...that scholar, I asked just now. He had just agreed to go to someone else's home to give lectures. It was an unfortunate coincidence."
Although it didn't work out, Qiao Huaping still felt grateful for Uncle Kun's love.
Uncle Kun was still embarrassed and told Nuo Qiao to draw the screen and he would definitely help her keep an eye on it.
Wu Yourong listened without saying a word, but secretly made up his mind that he would also help Miss Qiao's children find a good husband. Then Miss Qiao would know how reliable he was in doing things.
After chatting for a while, Qiao Huaping looked at the sky outside and stood up: "It's getting late, we should go back."
Wu Yourong stood up and said, "Miss Qiao, I'll see you off."
This was also the etiquette for entertaining guests. Qiao Huaping did not refuse and took the children out of the Good Doctor's Hall with Wu Yourong with a smile.
Uncle Kun wanted to speak but stopped.
Why did he feel that the Third Young Master's attitude didn't seem like he was sending Madam Qiao out of the door of the Good Doctor's Hall, but rather like he was sending Madam Qiao back to the village?
