Ms. Yan felt quite distressed, too. She came from a peaceful family and the first section of the family of the Shao Family was quite peaceful, too. But her mother-in-law was stupid, and her sister-in-law was narrow-minded and jealous of her. She was so upset.
She was thinking about spending two more years here, and then making a huge fuss to separate the families.
She would rather give money and grain to her in-laws than live with them.
It was just too stressful!
The following day, Ms. Yan visited the first section of the family again. Qiao Xuan talked about visiting the mountains the next day. She mentioned that they would be busy with a lot of things, thus won't be working with the needles and thread.
The weather was getting warmer. The flower fields needed to be loosened, the gardens needed to be tidied up, and the cultivation of tea seedlings was about to begin. After all of these were done, the shiitake mushrooms, wooden ears, and snow fungus would be picked again. Also, the tea tree seedlings in the mountains would be ready to be picked. It was time to do the transplantation. The branches of the sapling fruit would also need to be cut.
Spring plows should be prepared for the land at the Zhang Village, and they had to get ready to plant lotus and raise fish in the pond as well.
Moreover, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan would need to visit the province again.
They were going to sell dried mushrooms, wooden ears and snow fungus this time.
When they returned, the peach and apricot flowers would have bloomed. The first patch of roses would bloom as well…
The spring would be a busy time for them.
Especially when it came to planting trees and the creeping figs as well as lipsticks. All of these were important and big projects.
They had very few people who could help. Hence, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan needed to visit the province as soon as possible so as to hire and buy some labor.
When they got some time during the intervals, they would go into the mountains to walk around.
Everyone except for Qi had not been there for a long while. They all kind of missed it.
Even Shao Yunduan had decided to follow along.
They were all used to seeing Ms. Yan at their place these days. Feeling delighted, Taotao smiled at Ms. Yan. "Cousin, do you want to join us?!"
Everyone was startled hearing that.
Although Ms. Yan went on well with Qiao Xuan and Taotao, she was from the second section of the family, and there was still estrangement between them.
Ms. Yan was aware of this point as well.
But if Taotao mentioned this, it basically meant that she was being treated as a part of them.
Even Taotao realized that she had said something wrong.
Seeing Taotao's embarrassment, Qiao Xuan smiled. "Yeah, Cousin, want to join us? We can have fun together."
Ms. Yan nodded in delight. "If you can take me, I would like to join you!"
She knew clearly what position Qiao Xuan had in the first section of the family. Even someone as troublesome as Ms. Xu was conquered, let alone others.
Actually, Qiao Xuan was speaking on behalf of the whole first section of the family.
Taotao let out a sigh of relief, smiling as she gave a grateful look to Qiao Xuan.
"It's a deal. Cousin, come early in the morning. We will be leaving early."
After deciding this, they started to talk about the trip into the mountains. It was a lively conversation.
Back in the room, Qiao Xuan smiled at Shao Yunduan. "Darling, you are well-read and see things far more clearly. What do you think of this new cousin?"
Shao Yunduan chuckled. "You like to hang out with her. That is your gut feeling, right?"
The two of them exchanged a look, and Qiao Xuan smiled. "You are too smart which makes me feel smart as well..
