The Road to Rich of A Peasant Girl novel Chapter 10

Mother Xiao and the chief's wife only came back to their senses after walking out for a while.

The chief's wife was extremely puzzled. "Didn't they say that the Shi family is very difficult to deal with? Why are they suddenly so easy to talk to?"

Shangxi village and Xiaxi village were next to each other.

Naturally, there would be some conflicts between them.

The two chiefs had also never gotten along, and they did not like each other.

Chief Xiao's wife was more or less familiar with the overall situation of Shangxi village.

Among the few families in Shangxi village that were the most difficult to tackle, the Shi family was one of them.

In the past, when they encountered such situations, the Shi family's crazy women would probably have chased them out long ago.

Today's situation didn't seem right!

It was true that Mother Xiao was weak, but she wasn't stupid.

She recalled that yesterday, Shi Qingluo had taken the initiative to refuse betrothal gifts and even said that the Shi family would take care of it, so she was definitely the one making the decisions today.

That's when she realized that Shi Qingluo was even more powerful than she had previously imagined.

Instead of feeling displeased and fearful, she felt even happier.

Her family just lacked a powerful daughter-in-law.

Mother Xiao smiled. "Perhaps it's because of the Wu family's matter earlier, they feel that they owe Qingluo."

The chief's wife did not think so.

When she was with the Shi family just now, she had always felt that those people seemed to be a little afraid of Shi Qingluo.

If they really owed her, they wouldn't have nearly sent her to the Wu family to be married and subsequently buried.

"It's also possible. I don't think the Shi family is very happy about it, but they still let Shi Qingluo marry into your family."

Yes, when they went to propose marriage just now, the Shi family agreed and expressed that Shi Qingluo had taken a liking to Xiao Hanzheng.

They were also willing to take the initiative to go to the Xiao family's residence to celebrate.

This was something Shi Qingluo had planned for the Shi family to say.

If she wasn't that brilliant, the Shi family wouldn't have married her to the Xiao family so quickly.

Most importantly, they did not want the betrothal gifts.

Moreover, Shi Qingluo was willing to marry into the Xiao family on her own accord at the most difficult time for the Xiao family.

This was beneficial to her reputation.

In the future, if she really wanted to divorce with Xiao Hanzheng, it would be easier for her to establish a

female household.

The chief's wife could not figure it out, but it wasn't important either.

"Since the Shi family has agreed, then you should hurry home and prepare."

"I'll go back first. I'll bring some people over to help later."

The chief's wife was taking care of them so much mainly because Xiao Hanzheng was in a coma.

Mother Xiao knew that too. She said gratefully, "Alright, thank you so much for today then."

After returning, Mother Xiao first went to take a look at Xiao Hanzheng.

When she realized that the fever that had subsided last night had not returned, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Shi Qingluo was the Xiao family's lucky star.

If her son could really wake up, she must make sure that he treated his wife better.

Then, Mother Xiao brought Baili and Erlang to clean up the courtyard.

She also went to the town to buy some meat and vegetables.

Although they were not holding a wedding banquet, they shouldn't let their new sister-in-law feel that she wasn't welcomed on the first day.

Therefore, they planned to invite the families who had helped them recently with a simple meal.

Firstly, to celebrate, and secondly, to thank them.

Because the chief's wife had brought many people along to help, they also knew that Mother Xiao was celebrating Xiao Hanzheng's marriage tomorrow.

Following that, the Shi family also released the news, and the people of Shangxi village also knew about this.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

With Xiao Hanzheng's current health conditions, the Xiao family was in such a fiery pit, and someone was willing to jump into it.

Worse still, the new wife was a lady from the Shi family, The Shi family was famous for skinning others alive. Previously, they had almost sent their daughter to the Wu family to be buried.

Why would they marry her to the Xiao family for the wedding ceremony now?

Everyone was still guessing how much betrothal gifts Mother Xiao had spent to persuade the Shi family.

As the chief's wife revealed everything, everyone felt that it was even more incredulous.
