Meanwhile, Kang Xiaoqiao acted as if nothing had happened and did what she was supposed to do. On the contrary, Kang Daqiao said worriedly, "Little sister, do you think that Sister-in-law Wu can keep her mouth shut? I don't believe it. Little sister, how can you tell her about this?"
Upon hearing this, Kang Xiaoqiao said absent-mindedly while trimming her nails, "Of course I know that she can't keep her mouth shut. Otherwise, why would I tell her those things?"
Kang Daqiao was confused by her words. What did she mean by that?
Kang Xiaoqiao saw the situation. She smiled and sighed, "Big sister, I was just fooling her. This person, the more you don't let her talk, the more uncomfortable she feels. This matter, the more she values it. When she talks about it, it will become more mysterious and yearn for it, and it will become more infectious."
Kang Daqiao was even more confused. "Little sister, I can understand what you're saying. Why can't I understand it when you put it together?"
Kang Xiaoqiao saw the innocent look on her sister's face and sighed. "Big sister, let me tell you. I just want to use her mouth to spread these words. Moreover, I want to spread it to the world."
"Recently, haven't many people been saying bad things about me behind my back? Do you think I don't know? I just can't be bothered with them."
"In the past, I was a rural girl. I didn't have any background or status. If other people wanted to step on me, they would step on me. Anyway, if they stepped on me, I would step on them. They wouldn't be hurt and there wouldn't be any losses."
"But, it's different now. I have a powerful family in-law. I deliberately didn't mention my official position. I only described the environment and let them make their own guesses. The more they don't know, the more scared they are. Sister, just you wait and see. Tomorrow, everyone's attitude towards me will suddenly change 180 degrees."
Kang Daqiao let out an "Ah?" in confusion. Kang Xiaoqiao shook her head and continued to trim her nails.
This sister of hers... Ah, forget it, I'll teach her slowly.
Wu Xiaoyan naturally did not disappoint. Under her efforts to exaggerate, Kang Xiaoqiao's in-laws were so high and mighty that these people were completely unapproachable.
It did not matter what these women said. What if they offended Kang Xiaoqiao and made their in-laws give them men's shoes to wear? Kang Xiaoqiao's in-laws were such big officials. Oh my god, what should they do?
A few of the women in the Wilderness were chattering. Some of them said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Wu, can you put in a good word for me? I really didn't mean to speak ill of Kang Xiaoqiao."
"It's all because of that Liu Haiying. If she didn't say anything, how would we know all this? It's all because she misled us. You have to know that Kang Xiaoqiao's sister is so pitiful. How can we be so cruel? Let's talk about her then."
Another woman in the Wilderness also said, "Yes, Sister-in-law Wu, we really didn't mean it. Sister-in-law Wu, you have such a good relationship with Sister Kang. You have to put in a good word for us."
"Sister Wu, you are the most warm-hearted and kind-hearted person in this family courtyard. You can't just stand by and watch me die."
"Yes, yes--"
Under the compliments of the Wilderness sisters, Wu Xiaoyan was very pleased. She smiled so much that her small eyes became a slit. However, she still said, "Aiya, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"I do have a good relationship with Sister Xiaoqiao, but don't you see what you have done? If this was in the past, it would have been fine. But now we know that her in-laws are all high-ranking officials. With a snap of a finger, your men's hats will be gone. You still dare to speak ill of her behind her back."
"Then who is Liu Haiying? Don't you know how badly she was beaten up by Xiaoqiao?"
"And that Zhao Xiulan. She instigated the fire and you guys just went up to her. Are you guys stupid?"
Seeing this, the Wilderness sisters looked embarrassed and said angrily, "Aiya, Sister Wu, it's all that Zhao Xiulan and Liu Haiying's fault. We shouldn't have believed their words."
"That's right. A heartless ingrate and Zhao Xiulan who didn't learn to be a cheap person. Why do you think we are so stupid to listen to them?"
"Sister-in-law Wu, tell us, help us think of a way to remedy the situation--"
"Yes, yes--"
When Wu Xiaoyan heard this, an idea came to her. She immediately understood what she had learned from Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "I see. Eh, seeing that you are so sincere, I will reluctantly reveal some information to you."
"However, whether you do well or not and whether Sister Xiaoqiao can calm down will depend on your performance..."
After a silent night, early the next morning, Kang Xiaoqiao began to pick the pink and thick petals of the impatiens in the yard and put them into a small bowl.
Today was different from the past. Kang Xiaoqiao did not wear clothes. Instead, she wore a long dress and wore wooden clogs. Her hair was just a loose bundle. The figure of picking flowers in the garden was beautiful and fresh.
It was elegant and unique. In contrast to Kang Xiaoqiao's calm and collected manner, Kang Daqiao said anxiously, "Little sister, why aren't you wearing your clothes early in the morning? Let's go up the mountain together. Why are you going to the garden to pick this energy grass?"
Energy grass was also known as impatiens flower. The farmers usually called it energy grass.
Kang Xiaoqiao heard her sister's voice and raised her head. She smiled and said, "Picking flower petals. We won't go up the mountain today. We sisters will dye our nails at home."
Kang Xiaoqiao was undoubtedly beautiful. This kind of beauty was elegant and free. It was full of confidence and sunshine. Not to mention others, even Kang Daqiao panicked when she saw it. Then, she muttered, "What a pity. If brother-in-law saw you like this, he would definitely be mesmerized."
Kang Xiaoqiao didn't hear clearly. Then, she walked back and said, "Sister, what are you saying?"
Kang Daqiao immediately waved her hand and said, "No, it's nothing. Um, are you really not going up the mountain today?"
Kang Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "Yes, big sister, help me pick some green leaves. I'll go and mash this flower."
Hearing this, Kang Daqiao nodded in a daze. Her little sister was getting more and more beautiful. No wonder her brother-in-law liked her so much. Who wouldn't like such a beautiful little sister?
Kang Xiaoqiao didn't care about her stunned sister. She just took the small mask that was used to drive the dumplings. After washing it clean, she added some alum and started to mash the flower petals in the small bowl.
It was done in a short while. At this time, Kang Daqiao had already picked the green leaves back and washed them clean.
Kang Xiaoqiao went forward and grabbed her sister's hands. Hey, her sister was only twenty years old, but her hands were already covered in calluses and her skin was rough. Kang Xiaoqiao could not help but pout, "Sister, have you not soaked your hands properly these days?"
Kang Daqiao was about to pull back when she was pulled by Kang Xiaoqiao. "Don't move, I'll dye your nails."
Kang Daqiao immediately said, "Little sister, I still have work to do. Why would I dye them..."
However, she gave in to Kang Xiaoqiao's powerful gaze. As she watched Kang Xiaoqiao wrap her nails, her heart was filled with joy and warmth. Which girl didn't love beauty? It was just that she wasn't qualified to be beautiful.
