As expected, Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni also wanted to tag along.
The group had become much bigger than estimated.
However, the second section of the family, for some reason, got to know about their trip to the mountain. They came to them and said to Shao Xiaoqi, "Qi, you can take your cousins to the mountains as well? They can be of some help. Ms.
Qiao, Ms. Yang and Taotao don't have to be with you guys. Women are always creating trouble in the mountains."
Shao Xiaoqi's face sank and he turned to look at Qiao Xuan subconsciously.
Ms. Fang also frowned involuntarily. "They are just having fun in the mountains, not doing anything. What are your sons tagging along for?"
"Eldest Sister-in-law, you are so stingy. Why not take my sons to earn some money too? We can find some honey and get some pocket money as well,
Eldest Uncle added. "Qi, just take your Second Brother and Fourth Brother with you. They can help!"
Shao Xiaoqi wasn't pleased after hearing this.
He did not want to take them at all.
But it looked as if they were going to come along. They would follow them in secret even if they were not taken along.
Qiao Xuan said, "If you want to tag along, we can go together. But the deal is that we don't promise to get anything. Also, you are older than us, and you need to do some more hard work."
"Okay then, if anything good comes up…
'Qi will take the biggest portion, and the rest will be shared among us." Second Uncle wasn't pleased after listening to that.
Ms. Fang snorted. "You don't have to go if you aren't happy about it."
Second Uncle did not dare to say anything more. "Alright, alright."
Qiao Xuan smiled. "Let's go. It is getting late."
Second Uncle added. "Ms. Qiao, Ms. Yang, what are you doing by tagging along? You can just stay at home. It is not easy to walk in the mountains. Won't you slow them down!
The fewer people there were, the bigger the share would be. He even told his sons to concentrate on how to get the honey and grab it, as well as learn how Shao Xiaoqi got the other things, so that they could go there alone in the future.
Before Ms. Fang and Ms. Qiao said anything, Shao Xiaoqi said unhappily, "If the Fifth Sister-in-law is coming, I will go. If she stays, I stay too!"
Qiao Xuan became cheerful. "Qi, you are a good boy!"
Shao Xiaoqi smiled bashfully after hearing the compliments.
Second Uncle got annoyed. "What are you saying? Shao Xiaoqi turned his head. "You heard what I said." Eldest Uncle frowned. "Qi, don't be so unruly!"
Ms. Fang chimed in. "Forget about the trip today!"
But Shao Silang got anxious. "Ah, Eldest Aunt, Qi, don't be angry, let's all go together, alright? Dad, just save your breath!"
They should not get impulsive and irritate the eldest aunt!
In the end, they all headed out.
Shao Yunduan had not planned upon joining them, but seeing what happened, he went along.
He needed to protect Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan wanted to try her luck in finding precious medicinal herbs such as
Ganoderma lucidum, or China root, or Solomon's seals. She also wanted to see if she could come across some snow fungus, so she decided to visit a new area that she had never been to before.
The first section of the family were already used to the path, but Shao Erlang and Shao Silang were not..
