Who was the person in the county that had such a wide knowledge and consideration? How did that person know that he should keep the matter a secret and make a fortune without making a scene? How horrible that person was!
Officer Qiao had a desperate itch to know who that was!
The first section of the family made the second and third section of the family feel really anxious. They did not dare to come to them to ask for wild animals and other benefits, even after they learned that Shao Xiaoqi went into the mountains for hunting and Qiao Xuan returned from the town.
For one thing, Ms. Fang was so unfriendly at the moment, and they would not be able to get anything easily at the moment. For another, what if they irritated Ms. Fang so much that she would not want to help them with some rakes. Then what would they do?
So they had to remain calm.
Finally, Ms. Fang showed mercy and told them that she was going to help them with the rakes the following day.
That made the other sections of the family feel assured. They let out a sigh of relief.
When they calmed themselves down, they started to talk vividly.
"Oh Eldest Sister-in-law, finally you remembered this!"
"Eldest Sister-in-law, you are so slow, you have been postponing the spring plow!"
"Ask Dalang, Sanlang and everyone to be there early tomorrow, we need to hurry up!"
"Infact, you should ask more people to help us. Wulang, Qi, Ms. Xu and Ms. Qiao should also be there."
Ms. Fang's face sank and she sneered. "Just leave from here. Are you telling me what I should do?"
"Can't I suggest something?" Ms. Ma's eyes rolled as she smiled. "Oh Eldest Sister-in-law, all of you are helping us with rakes. What other things does Ms. Qiao need to be done? We can do her work and get paid!"
"Keep dreaming!" Ms. Fang snapped. "You always think about the benefits!"
Ms. Fang finally drove them away.
"Useless people, how dare they say something !"
Qiao Xuan heard her grumble and said with a smile, "Mom, I just noticed that Second Aunt-in-law and Third Aunt-in-law got so angry about what you just said. You should feel happy about it."
Ms. Fang laughed. "True, you are right!"
The next day, the first section of the family were still busy with their work. Before Second Uncle and Third Uncle could ask them what was going on, they were startled to see that Ms. Fang had spent money hiring some family with bulls to do the work for them.
"Eldest Sister-in-law, you just…"
"That is such a waste of money!"
People might have thought that they were concerned about the first section of the family spending their money…
But Ms. Fang understood exactly what they were thinking.
They thought that the money of the first section of the family was theirs, and they were always trying to get money out of them.
They were so concerned about spending the money that should have been theirs…
"I am wasting my money, so what? The job is getting done, what more do you have to say?"
Second Uncle opened his mouth. "But your sons are free…"
"I don't want my sons to work for you, so what? Look at the rakes, I have fulfilled my promise, and that is it!"
Third Uncle countered. "If you already had this plan, why not tell us earlier?"
"Yeah, we have all been so worried!"
