Chapter 545: Heartache Makes Me Sick

After Tong Xingda and the Zhang Family left, Qiao Changshun asked about the case.

Qiao Xiaomai recounted the process, leaving Qiao Changshun stunned, "So, in the end, Master Cen put up ten thousand taels?"

"It was his own doing. He fabricated baseless accusations, so it serves him right."

As Qiao Xiaomai said this, she washed her hands and went to her room to fetch a watermelon, "Where's Dami?"

"He went out to play."

Now that the Qiao Family's lifestyle had improved and their reputation had risen, villagers were very amiable to Qiao Dami, who was also willing to go out and play with his peers.

It was a scene that Qiao Changshun was pleased to see, as was Qiao Xiaomai. She cut the watermelon into two halves, hung one half in the well with a basket and shared the other half with Qiao Changshun.

Feeling the watermelon was not sweet enough, she scooped out its flesh into a bowl and sprinkled a handful of white sugar.

After eating the watermelon, she rubbed her mouth contently.
