Picked Up A Husband For Farming

323 Boiling Water

Xu Qing chuckled, which puzzled Xu Yue and she became more uneasy. “I guessed that they would come, so I was waiting for them.”

When Xu Yue heard this, she felt that she had been too nosy. She thought that there would be huge trouble, but Xu Qing wasn’t flustered at all.

Xu Qing saw through Xu Yue’s thoughts and promised her, “But I still have to thank you. Don’t worry, I’ll help you find a good husband.”

In the beginning, Xu Yue was genuinely considerate towards Xu Qing. However, as she grew older, she realized that her parents couldn’t help her. Her only life-saving straw was Xu Qing now. Therefore, she had long developed ulterior motives. However, to Xu Qing, since Xu Yue had good intentions, she was willing to help Xu Yue once, but only this once.

Xu Yue looked at Xu Qing in fear when she realized that her true intentions had been seen through. She couldn’t help but smile bitterly and say, “Sister Xu Qing, I’m sorry.”

!!

Xu Qing smiled calmly. “Compared to the others in the Xu family, you’re already very good.” In her memory, Xu Yue was the only one who gave food to “Xu Qing” when she was pregnant. She took care of her and even came to give her a wedding gift when she got married.

“Xu Qing, I’m not asking you to help me find a rich person. It’s fine as long as the other party’s family isn’t full of trouble. It’s best if he’s an upright and hardworking farmer,” Xu Yue said to Xu Qing sincerely.

Xu Qing nodded. She was impressed that after living with a family like the Xu family for so many years, Xu Yue had actually become more enlightened. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you find a suitable man before the Xu family falls into the abyss.”

“Thank you!” Xu Yue was beyond excited. She dreamed of getting rid of the Xu family completely and she knew very well that the only person who could do it was Xu Qing. She was just an ordinary person, so the best way to leave the Xu family was to get married.

It wasn’t until Xu Yue left that Xun Fen said, “Miss, are you really going to help her?”

“Yes, because we’re going to deal with the Xu family next.” Xu Qing sneered.

By the time the Xu family arrived, it was almost dark. Firstly, it was because they were crippled, so they walked slowly. Secondly, it was because they tried to show off on the streets. Of course, there were really people watching. After all, it was rare to see such a commotion in the capital.

When they saw that this group of people was actually heading towards the Qiao family’s courtyard, they were even more curious.

As a result, the crowd was in an uproar. When the Xu family saw this, they thought that these people were here to worship them.

There were two familiar figures in the crowd. They were Hua Yuncheng and Deng Jiangming. Recalling their “fear” when they were in Anning Village, the two of them hurriedly climbed over the wall and entered.

However, after they entered, they saw Xu Qing eating grapes while Qiao Yanhui peeled them and placed them on a small plate. Xu Qing was only responsible for eating.

“You guys still have the mood to eat? Your family is about to become a stage. You’re all here to watch the commotion.” Hua Yuncheng was amused by their calmness.

“What’s the hurry?” Xu Qing put down her fork and asked calmly, “Xun Fen, is the hot water ready?”

“Miss, it’s ready.” Xun Fen’s tone was a little mischievous.

“Why are you boiling water?” Hua Yuncheng was puzzled.

“Let’s see how thick-skinned this group of people is and if we scald them!” Xu Qing said thoughtfully.

Hua Yuncheng and Deng Jiangming were speechless.

Was this okay? After all, they were Xu Qing’s elders…

Xu Qing ignored their doubts, and didn’t have the time to answer them either. When she felt that it was about time, she nodded at Xun Fen and the others.

Xun Fen and Teng Nian each carried a large bucket of hot water as they walked towards the door. However, Qiao Yi and Qiao Er snatch the buckets from them.

As Xu Qing watched the four of them from behind, she immediately understood. She was wondering why these people seemed so lovey-dovey recently. Turned out two couples had emerged.

Mo Qiu and Zhao Bing, who were outside the door, were still knocking on the door. Their hands were already red from all the knocking, but there was no movement inside.

Mo Qiu looked indignant. “Why isn’t anyone opening the door?” They were prepared to ask for a load of money.

Chen Qiulian and Old Master Xu were a little impatient and went forward to knock together. Even Xu Yunfang and the others went forward to knock.

Suddenly, the door opened, but before Old Master Xu and the others could react, two buckets of hot water were splashed on them.

“Ah! It’s so hot…”

For a moment, all kinds of screams sounded, scaring the onlookers behind them into retreating in terror. It was boiling water, so wouldn’t they lose a layer of skin if it was splashed on their bodies?

Xu Qing controlled the temperature very well. It wouldn’t burn them to death, but they would definitely lose their skin.

“There are people outside? We thought you guys were ducks. Quack quack…” Xun Fen poked her head out from behind Qiao Yi as she said with a feigned surprised expression.
