Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

“But for Fifth Sister-in-law, we would not have recognized the plant, nor would we have sold it for this much money. Fifth Sister-in-law should take the largest share!”

“Yes, yes!”

Qiao Xuan did not care much about it. She knew what her mother-in-law was like. She smiled. “It is fine, we have all worked hard. But Mom, you have to hide the money and never share it with anyone else.”

The others agreed as well. They believed that this was the most important thing above all!

Ms. Fang took a deep breath. “Ms. Qiao, Duan, Qi and Taotao are right. You earned the money. You don’t have to give so much to us! What about you giving 20 liang to me, and the rest can be yours.”

20 liang was already enough for them.

Honestly, they could not save 20 liang even in an entire year in the past.

Ms. Fang believed that she should cherish the windfall, rather than being greedy.

Qiao Xuan was able to earn this much money, because she was fortunate. The others should not be too greedy for her money, otherwise there would be misfortune along the way.

Startled, Qiao Xuan had not expected that her mother-in-law would be so generous. She said, “Mom…”

“Mom is right, just do as she says.” Shao Yunduan added.

She could keep her earnings.

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao had no objection to the proposal.

Qiao Xuan thought for a while and agreed with a smile.

“Then, I won’t say no.”

Ms. Fang said with a smile, “You deserve it!”

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao did not do much and still got 20 liang respectively.

Qiao Xuan had more than 120 liang in savings right now.

She stuffed 2 liang back to Ms. Fang.

That was an extra benefit, which made Ms. Fang smile. Her daughter-in-law was quite understanding, and knew how to make money and respected her. She was the lucky star of the family!

When they were done with money sharing, Shao Meiling and Shao Xiaozhi came, looking around.

Shao Xiaoqi immediately said, “We don’t have any wild animals today, cousins.”

So… they could just stop looking.

Shao Meiling smiled. “You borrowed a bullock cart to go to the town, what did you do there?”

Shao Xiaozhi. “What did you buy?”

Qiao Xuan replied. “Why must we report what we have brought to you everytime? It is none of your business!”

She left from there without speaking with them any more.

Shao Meiling and her sister got so annoyed that they turned to look at Ms. Fang, who ignored them as well and went into the kitchen instead.

They realized that their elder aunt-in-law would not defend them against her daughter-in-law.

“Let’s leave!” The two of them dashed off.

Soon the two elder women were at the door.

Ms. Fang countered them and the two of them left in anger as well.

Ms. Fang realized that they should not be indulged, even though her family was making money now.

Qiao Xuan cooked some more food for dinner.

She made braised and sugar-coated ribs, and turned pork belly into braised meat whilst adding some chives with egg soup and eggplants and beans.

Qiao Xuan thought that her father-in-law would say something about this but her father-in-law said nothing even after they finished the dinner.

Qiao Xuan was very surprised.

Shao Yunduan immediately clarified. “They owe you 2 liang. Dad doesn’t dare to say anything right now.”

Qiao Xuan struck her head. “Ah, good!”

It was good that she had a substantial dowry!
