Chapter 703 - 677: The Fierce and Amusing Qian
Chapter 703 - 677: The Fierce and Amusing Qian
Qian was blunt.
Anus...
Mai instinctively clenched his sphincter. Knowing his identity, yet daring to insult him like that, this woman really goes against the grain.
Narcissus, who was pondering Mai’s intentions, couldn’t help but chuckle at Qian’s comment.
Qian ignored Mai’s aggrieved expression and continued to listen to the complaints booming from the next room.
The middle-aged woman next door was speaking with a somewhat sharp voice.
"She’ll be over soon, and I need to lay down the law. She needs to have the right attitude to get into our family. If it wasn’t for her having a city household registration, I honestly wouldn’t want your brother to marry her. The daughter of the county planning bureau’s director fancies your brother, but unfortunately, our county is too small, and I don’t want him to come back here. It benefits that brash woman." The middle-aged woman spoke with utter confidence.
"Did she actually buy a house?" The woman with puffy eyes lowered her voice, as if buying a house were something extraordinary.
But Qian and Narcissus heard it clearly, and Mai strained his ears to listen as well.
He wanted to see what gossip could be more important than him coming from the Carter family?
Being ignored from start to finish was such a humiliation! After hearing it, Mai felt even more aggrieved.
Such distant and irrelevant gossip, family squabbles amounting to nothing, is it more compelling than his illustrious family name?
"Your brother says she’s looking at buying a house, but without a house, she might as well not have a household registration, so why should your brother marry her? Tell your brother that our family will contribute 20,000 yuan and ask her to add his name to the property deed. With her untrustworthy face, who knows if she’ll stick around in the future? Also, it needs to be a three-bedroom, otherwise, your father and I will have no place to stay."
This ridiculous family conversation was clearly overheard, their voices so loud that it was impossible not to listen.
Narcissus was shocked literally inside out. Initially focused on Mai, her thoughts were hijacked by this family’s shamelessness. She whispered to Qian, "How much does it cost to buy an apartment in your city?"
"Depends on the size, but it certainly won’t be less than ten grand." Though housing prices were cheap now, they weren’t cheap enough for 20,000 yuan to buy even half an apartment.
In other words, not only did they want to move with the whole family into the house bought by the bride’s family, but they also expected the property deed to have the groom’s name.
And what’s more absurd, after taking such advantage of someone, they didn’t appreciate it but instead acted as though marrying the woman was doing her a huge favor.
One would really want to ask, is your son made of gold?
Even though eavesdropping is wrong, the family was so loud, discussing their shameless matters as if it was a glorious family meeting. It was impossible not to hear.
The discussion at the table next door continued, "I heard her parents are civil servants, and she has an older brother too. That kind of complicated family is not one we want to associate with. There’s a family in our county with prestige, and their daughter is an only child. If your brother marries her, all her wealth will eventually be our family’s. But your brother insists on marrying such a poor woman! Xiaoqing, when you chat with her, remind her that in our county, it’s customary for the bride’s family to gift a car. Hint that to her, so she follows our customs."
Narcissus and Qian exchanged a glance, feeling simultaneously disgusted.
Mai was also disgusted, what about this trivial matter was worth listening to, more important than his true identity?
"The quality of farmers from China is too low." The upstaged Mai grumbled, forgetting even his facade of aloofness.
Qian glared at him, "Insult our hardworking farmers again, and see if I don’t turn you in?!"
Damn...!!!
The overlooked Mai looked aggrievedly at Qian, his gaze seemed to say helplessly, sister, what else do you want from me? Even revealing his identity failed to gain her notice, so why all the fuss?
"I must warn you, foreigner, that standing on our soil, you must not casually attack us with verbal artillery, slandering our farmers! Not all trash people belong to the ranks of farmers! Didn’t you hear them say they are from the county? Not farmers!"
Qian spoke with righteousness.
Mai was left feeling like a fool, utterly confused.
"Pfft, cough!" Narcissus choked.
Qian was clearly targeting Mai’s earlier comment about the quality of farmers, implying that the neighbors had no quality. Seeing someone slander farmers, Qian was not having it.
"On behalf of millions of farmers, I must say, our farmers are generally honest. Don’t blame every problem on countryside folk. As a foreigner, don’t think that after reading a few disparaging books about country life, you understand farmers! Every place has good people, and every place has its oddballs. Just because your place is rich doesn’t mean there’s no trash, right?"
"People like that don’t exist where I’m from..." Mai weakly argued under Qian’s stern criticism.
"You’re talking nonsense! Know what ’talking nonsense’ means? Pulled calf! Every place has scumbags. If you think there are fewer scumbags where you’re from, it’s because there are fewer people; your country’s size is equivalent to just one of our provinces. If you had as many people as we do, you could bump into such trash with your eyes closed! Besides, you sneakily came here to protect Narcissus, aren’t you being trashy too?"
Qian’s eloquence is second to none, except maybe Xiaoqiang because his face is even thicker than others.
"Why am I even discussing this with you..." Mai felt powerless.
He was completely led astray by this woman, forgetting what his point was supposed to be.
"Narcissus, control your bodyguard. Even though he comes from the Carter family, that doesn’t mean he’s grown extra testicles. Standing on our ground, he is not allowed to attack with verbal artillery, slandering our farmer brothers!"
"Pfft ... Qian’er, you swore."
Narcissus was amused to the point of hysterics by Qian.
When Qian seriously mentioned testicles, Narcissus found it incredibly funny.
"Who asked this foreigner to act recklessly on our ground? What’s so great about Carter, can his family’s men speak without restraint just because they have extra testicles?"
Besides, her Xiaoqiang was the legendary four-pound brother!
"I can assure you, our family men have not grown extra...damn it, why am I being led to discuss something like this by you?!!!" Mai was furious and embarrassed.
Narcissus said sorry, then turned away, suppressing her laughter.
Once again, Qian’er added a remarkable page to her illustrious history of mischievousness, so bold in taking on the Carter family. Even her father Teng Daye wouldn’t dare to confront them like this. And so elegantly tying that organ naturally with the boastful Carter family added an inexplicable comedic touch.
