Chapter 67: Manners, do you have this?

After making some inquiries.

Qiao Xingsheng came to Qiao's Small Restaurant, saw many people inside, he stepped in and walked forward; as soon as he entered, he froze on the spot.

How are Qiao Xuehua and them here!

What Qiao Xingsheng was thinking, he blurted out: "Xuehua, how are you here?"

"This shop is opened by my mother; we are naturally here."

Xiao Shitou replied confidently.

"What, your mother opened it?"

Qiao Xingsheng looked utterly incredulous.

Qiao Xuehua said at the side: "That's right, this small restaurant is opened by my sister; however, we don't welcome you here—please go as far away as you can."

"Exactly!"

Xiao Shitou echoed.

Saying that in front of so many people undoubtedly made Qiao Xingsheng lose some face.

Qiao Xingsheng said somewhat angrily: "Xuehua, how are you talking to me like this, you guys are so lacking in manners, you……"

Qiao Sheng came over and retorted.

"Manners, you're discussing manners with them here—do you even have any? My father and others work hard, earning money to help your parents support your schooling. Not being grateful to my father and others is bad enough, but you don't even greet them when you return home—is that your manners?"

"As for us, you show no liking whatsoever, nor any semblance of an older brother. Usually you act like you're ordering servants around, bossing us—is that your manners?"

How she became so articulate!

With so many people here, how could Qiao Xingsheng admit it? He glared angrily at Qiao Sheng and said: "I didn't, stop slandering me!"

Ancient people weren't particularly superstitious.

Then she saying that must have someone believing it.

Qiao Sheng raised his hand and made a poisonous oath: "I swear to heaven, what I said first is all true; if I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning and die a bad death!"

Without waiting for Qiao Xingsheng to speak.

Qiao Sheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Qiao Xingsheng, you say I'm slandering you—do you dare swear to heaven that what you said is all true?"

"You, I……"

"Only women and petty people are hard to get along with—I can't be bothered to argue with you!"

Qiao Xingsheng naturally didn't dare; he didn't know how to reply, he dropped his words and left in big strides.

"Argue, do you think you can win against me!"

Qiao Sheng shouted at him and went to the kitchen to keep busy.

Qiao Xingsheng the more he thought, the angrier he got; he returned to the academy, told the teacher, then sat in a rented ox cart and went back to Qiaojia Village.

Gao Shi opened the door and saw Qiao Xingsheng had returned, inevitably surprised: "Eldest son, why are you back? Isn't it not yet time for your leave?"

Qiao Xingsheng didn't answer Gao Shi's words, instead he turned and questioned her.

"Grandma, do you know that Qiao Lianhua opened a small restaurant in town?"

"What, that lowly person opened a restaurant in town!"

Gao Shi mostly stays at home; when she goes to town she only goes to the market to stroll—how could she possibly know that Qiao Sheng opened a restaurant?

Not only does she not know, but other people in the household also don't know now.

Qiao Xingsheng said unhappily: "She really did open a restaurant; moreover, she called Xuehua and them to work for her—each one is now quite capable, seeing me they act all rude toward me."

"Give them face!"

"Eldest son, go rest indoors; I'll go to the fields to ask your third uncle and them."

Gao Shi stepped out and walked outside.

Before a quarter of an hour had passed, Gao Shi found Qiao Hushui and them; the couple were currently in the field weeding.

"Lao San, Lao San's wife, come out—I have something to ask you!"
