Just as Tong Xingda expected, that evening, Tong Sanlang eagerly sought out Qiao Xiaomai.
It was in the evening, as the workers at the Qiao Family household were individually receiving their wages, a crowd gathered in the Courtyard, making the scene lively.
Zhuang Luhe was preparing dinner in the kitchen, Qiao Changshun was holding the money basket, Qiao Dami was grabbing coppers with his little hand, handing out the wages one by one.
Qiao Dami had recently been learning arithmetic from books, so he was now handling this task.
Qiao Xiaomai was indolently sitting under the willow tree, leisurely cracking and eating sunflower seeds.
Seeing Tong Sanlang enter, she rolled her eyes and stood up to go back to her room.
Upon spotting Tong Sanlang, Qiao Changshun quickly greeted him. Tong Sanlang responded with a "Dad" and quickly went into the room.
