Ms. Zhang still tried to make a fuss, sneering in front of Ms. Yan. "Aren't you visiting the first section of the family every day and sucking up to them? I thought they were nice to you. But look, you are nothing in their eyes!"
Ms. Yan chuckled. "I am not sure what you mean, Second Sister-in-law. They treat me nicely. We are relatives, but I never thought about getting any benefits from them. So, you are worrying unnecessarily."
Ms. Zhang snorted, sounding disdainful.
She believed that it was Ms. Yan who didn't want to admit it.
Ms. Yan did not want to argue with Ms. Zhang over this point. She had no interest in explaining it any further to Ms. Zhang.
She did not care what Ms. Zhang thought about her relationship with the first section of the family. It was none of her business anyway.
Ms. Yan still visited the first section of the family every day, sometimes the visit was a little longer, sometimes a little shorter.
But… she was always there.
The cutting of the creeping figs was completed within two days. Qiao Xuan went to visit the Zhang Village again.
Accompanied by Ding Erzhu and his wife, they went to survey the field of the creeping figs as well as the tea forest.
She claimed that she wanted to see how the creeping figs and the trees were growing whilst in fact, she was trying to put her superpower into the plants.
Otherwise, the trees were withering and the creeping figs might not survive.
Qiao Xuan pretended to be tired and took a break, during which time, she silently exerted her superpower, bringing vitality to the plants. Qiao Xuan could sense that the trees that had been running out of water were already growing back at a very high speed.
The creeping figs had full buds and found roots underground…
That made Qiao Xuan feel assured.
She was going to exert one more burst of her superpower, so the plants should grow better.
Back at home, she ran into Ms. Yan, Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu having a nice conversation.
Qiao Xuan walked in and greeted them, as she turned to the backyard to wash hands.
"Fifth Sister-in-law…
Qiao Xuan looked up at her, smiling. "Hi, Second Sister-in-law!"
Ms. Yan looked hesitant. But she lowered her voice. "I need to tell you something…
Qiao Xuan was surprised.
Ms. Yan was a cautious person. She must have been bothered by something when she hesitated with her words.
"Come to my place." Qiao Xuan led Ms. Yan to the east-wing of her yard.
Ms. Yan let out a big sigh as if she were making a big decision.
She said to Qiao Xuan in a low voice, "I bumped into Land Officer Ding and Widow Sun talking in the bamboo forest near Widow Sun's garden. I was close by, but they did not notice me…"
Ms. Yan happened to be in the neighborhood area near Widow Sun's home yesterday afternoon, when she was picking vegetables.
Ms. Yan saw some winter bamboos in the forest, thus hoping to try some luck.
Unexpectedly… her luck wasn't with her.
She did not find the winter bamboos, but accidentally ran into the affairs of Land Officer Ding and Widow Sun.
Ms. Yan got so frightened.
But the thick, tall bush in the forest sheltered her. She collapsed and her hands covered her chest tightly, holding back her breath.
She was a newcomer to the village. She should not reveal this to anyone else, even if she saw that..
