Chapter 249

Qiao Sheng only knows Fang Hemiao and their family among Zhang Qiao's relatives; as for the other relatives, Qiao Sheng does not know them.

Qiao Sheng sat down without showing any emotion.

Not long after.

Qiao Sheng then saw the man who had just been staring at Qiao Lihua whispering to a woman beside him.

The woman appeared to be about forty years old, her appearance somewhat resembled the man's, and she was undoubtedly his mother.

What they said is unknown.

After finishing her conversation with her son, the woman looked toward Lan Yue Niang and called, "Lan sister."

Lan Yue Niang replied with a sound.

Seizing the chance, Qiao Sheng asked, "Mother, who is she?"

Lan Yue Niang said with a smile, "She is the elder sister‑in‑law of Zhang Qiao's family, Zhang Xiaomei. You can just call her Aunt Zhang. She is about the same age as I am."

How long has it been?

They must have chatted a lot before.

Qiao Sheng called out, "Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Xiaomei smiled and said, "Lan sister, the Lianhua in your family also looks quite beautiful; the daughters in your family have completely inherited the good looks of you and your husband."

"Sister Zhang, you're flattering me."

Lan Yue Niang replied to her.

Qiao Hushui echoed, "Exactly, flattering."

"I'm not speaking nonsense; what I say is the truth."

After finishing, Zhang Xiaomei got straight to the point.

"Lan sister, Brother Hushui, your Lihua hasn't found anyone yet, right? Take a look at my second son—he's now working as a chef in a restaurant and can earn one to two taels of silver per month."

Fang Hemiao said from the side, "You don't know that their Lihua was married long ago and is now divorced and staying at home?"

Bringing up the very thing that shouldn't be mentioned!

Lan Yue Niang hurriedly glanced at Qiao Lihua to make sure she wasn't upset by the remark, and only then felt relieved.

Zhang Xiaomei said, "If you ask me, how could I not know? So what if she's divorced? It's not Lihua's fault at all; I like her."

"Ugh, I act as if I don't know what you're thinking, you…"

Fang Hemiao's words were not finished.

Lan Yue Niang spoke, "Sister Zhang, I'm sorry, our Lihua…"

"I have someone I like now."

Qiao Lihua suddenly spoke.

Lan Yue Niang's expression froze; how could she not know that her second daughter now had someone she liked?

Qiao Sheng and the others were also bewildered.

Fang Hemiao burst into laughter, "Some people still want to make a move on others; now they're stunned, because she already has someone she likes. How could she ever set her eyes on your foolish son!"

Zhang Xiaomei shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting! Who are you calling stupid? You're the stupid one!"

Lan Yue Niang, not wanting to hear their quarrel, placed Qiao Yinghua into Qiao Hushui's arms and called Qiao Lihua outside to talk.

Qiao Xuehua, curious, followed them out.

Qiao Sheng didn't go; she was a bit uneasy about Qiao Lanhua, fearing they might target her again, after all she is the third sister, soon about to come of age.

Outside.

Lan Yue Niang found a secluded spot and asked Qiao Lihua, "Lihua, is it true you really have someone you like?"

"Second sister, I also want to know."

Qiao Xuehua ran over and said.

Qiao Lihua's face flushed instantly.

She opened her mouth and said, "I don't have anyone I like; I said that just now because I didn't want them constantly worrying about me."

"Really?"

Lan Yue Niang stared at Qiao Lihua and asked.

She was so worried because she feared Qiao Lihua might encounter an unsuitable person again.

Qiao Lihua nodded and said, "Mother, I'm not lying to you; what I said is true."

With that, the words ended.

In Qiao Lihua's mind, Ji Fan's figure suddenly flashed.

She likes him?

How could that be!
