Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 888: Chapter 888 Exorcism_1

Qiao Xiaomai didn’t want to say anything for fear of frightening him, but considering her own family’s situation was impossible to hide, she told him the truth.

As expected, Qiao Changshun trembled all over when he heard what she said.

Upon hearing about the Puppet doll, he insisted on setting up a fire pot for her to step across, claiming it would ward off evil.

Qiao Xiaomai responded with a mix of laughter and tears, “Step across a fire pot? I already did that when I got married.”

“It’s not the same.” Qiao Changshun emphasized these three words heavily.

“Don’t worry, if curses really did work, then Sun Junyan and the Sun Family would have died eight hundred times over by now. Just a Puppet doll trying to suppress me? Hmph.” A mocking smile appeared on Qiao Xiaomai’s petite face.

“If you can’t swallow this grievance, I’ll make dozens of them tomorrow, all with Sun Junyan’s birth details.”

Qiao Changshun “…”

He didn’t listen to Qiao Xiaomai’s words and went to get a fire pot himself, bringing it over and insisting that Qiao Xiaomai step across it.

Unable to resist him, Qiao Xiaomai lifted her foot and stepped across.

Only then did he feel satisfied and carried the fire pot out. When he returned to the room, his thoughts shifted back to Sun Junyan.

Things turning out like this were beyond his expectations.

As Qiao Xiaomai munched on sunflower seeds and watched him sighing with worry, she couldn’t help but speak up, “Dad, this is no joke. From now on, it’s either him or me who will die. You have to remember that, and never ever harbor any hopes for him.”

“I know,” Qiao Changshun said and heaved another deep sigh.

Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “You go heat up some water. Third Brother should be back from hunting soon, ready to skin the game.”

The guards, even on days like these, maintained their patrols day and night. Although this was Yang Wenxiao’s order, she and Tong Sanlang should show their appreciation.

Therefore, Tong Sanlang went hunting in the mountains, also to check on his master Deng Chun. He had been gone for two hours and should be returning soon.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun stood up, “Okay, I’ll go right away.”

He understood what Qiao Xiaomai meant, he would not acknowledge Sun Junyan as his brother anymore.

Tong Sanlang drove the ox cart when he went hunting. Upon his return, the cart was filled with game. He had found a goat den and managed to catch all six goats within, none escaped.

Besides that, there were also some wild chickens and rabbits, enough for everyone in the manor to have a feast.

After parking the ox cart at the entrance, he went to find Fan Linong, asking him to call a few people to help butcher the game.

After all this hustle and bustle, all the guards got to eat Stewed Lamb and drink Lamb Soup in the evening.

In this dreadful weather, there was no food more warming than Lamb Soup.

A few days later, the light snow stopped, and although the sun still hung in the sky, it felt more like a decoration, giving off no warmth at all.

These days had been quiet, with no abnormalities discovered.

This was within Qiao Xiaomai’s expectations. Sun Junyan and Cen Hong didn’t find anything; the Puppet s was purely to disgust her.

If these two truly harbored any intentions, they would have acted earlier; they certainly wouldn’t have waited until now.

Under these circumstances, she suggested to Tong Sanlang that they temporarily set this matter aside, as life had to go on day by day, and they couldn’t stay tense all the time.

“It’s gotten colder, and the first snow has fallen. I was thinking, how about we call over the villagers and teach them how to make fire pits?” Qiao Xiaomai said.

“Okay.”

Tong Sanlang nodded. He was aware of the villagers’ hardships. From this time until spring was the most difficult period. Those without furs could only gather as much wood as possible, sticking close to the furnace without leaving.

Qiao Xiaomai’s judgment was probably correct, Sun Junyan and Cen Hong wouldn’t be causing trouble at this time.
