Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1041: Wealth

If it had been anyone else, how could they resist asking?

Who in the world wouldn’t be interested in silver?!

As Yuezheng Xiao, Qiao Xuan, and Shao Yunduan went through the accounts, they discovered that Qiao Xuan had amassed a total of 78,000 liang, not including the 10% of the tea bricks that the Yuezheng Family would provide at the year’s end, to be paid later.

So Qiao Xuan now possessed 340,000 liang.

It was an immense fortune!

There was a high probability that many impoverished Duke Mansions in the capital would not be as wealthy, let alone the ancestral mansion that had been passed down through generations.

Qiao Xuan’s joy overflowed, and she beamed at Shao Yunduan. “Darling, we’re wealthy once again! Let’s purchase more land when we arrive in the capital!”

Shao Yunduan smiled and replied, “Certainly!”

Qiao Xuan had essentially been the one earning the money. His family’s assistance was limited, so he naturally wouldn’t interfere.

Yuezheng Xiao chimed in with a smile, “Buying land in the capital isn’t easy. There are numerous noble families and prominent business clans. Since you’re new here, it’s best to keep a low profile and not draw attention to yourselves!”

He chuckled helplessly. “From my perspective, Sister-in-law’s ability to earn money is truly remarkable. She’s truly outstanding!”

It hadn’t been easy for the Yuezheng Family to enter the business scene in the capital. They had attempted it but failed. Instead, they settled for the next best option and invested a substantial sum of money in constructing a road. It took them at least five years to establish a solid foundation.

Of course, the significant investment in the road and the hard work in the initial stages had been worthwhile. The returns were remarkably generous.

Upon hearing Yuezheng Xiao’s words, Qiao Xuan regained her composure and responded, “Yes, this is the capital!”

Yuezheng Xiao glanced at Shao Yunduan and playfully remarked, “It seems like we’ll have to hold onto the money for now. When you become a high-ranking official, we can buy a shop and some farmland!”

Yuezheng Xiao’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and he nodded in agreement. “Count me in!”

Shao Yunduan smiled and replied, “Well, it seems I still have a long way to go. But don’t worry, that day will come!”

The three of them shared a laughter.

Qiao Xuan spoke up, saying, “Actually, it doesn’t matter if we can’t achieve much in the capital. Let’s not put unnecessary pressure on ourselves.”

Shao Yunduan smiled warmly. “My understanding wife!”

“I just don’t want you to be burdened with excessive pressure. It can be quite exhausting!” Qiao Xuan expressed her concern.

“Don’t worry, I won’t!” Shao Yunduan reassured her.

Yuezheng Xiao was speechless, feeling that it was time for him to take his leave.

Taotao and the others had been compensated for their work, but Qiao Xuan, being generous as always, rewarded them with bonuses whenever she received a substantial sum of money. This time was no exception.

Everyone received 100 to 300 liang and received red envelopes, allowing them to have extra spending money in the province.

Taotao and Ms. Fang received the largest shares.

Eldest Uncle was not given any money; everything was entrusted to Ms. Fang.

Qiao Xuan’s intention was to give the money to Ms. Fang under the guise of “filial piety.” If Eldest Uncle received the money, it would likely be taken advantage of by either the second or third section of the family.

As long as it was a benefit, Qiao Xuan had fulfilled her duty towards her elders. How they chose to handle it was no longer her concern.
