Eldest Uncle glared. “You are not working in the field, so you have no rights to make a decision!”
Ms. Fang looked at her sons. “Do you need Second and Third Uncle for help?”
Shao Dalang was too honest to make an expression. He scratched his head and did not dare to utter a sound. Ms. Xu did the same thing too. She did not say a thing but inwardly, she was cheering for her mother-in-law.
Shao Sanlang did not give up after hearing what his mother said.
“I don’t think so! They are always lazy and they never do anything!”
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao nodded in agreement.
“They are so lazy and slow. We are much faster!”
“Last year when we helped Second Uncle with the seedling, Second Aunt-in-law took Second Cousin back home and told her to help with cooking. But when we came to her home for lunch, we did not get to eat any food except for one pot of porridge and pickles. That was such a simple lunch that I believed the Second Aunt-in-law could have done it alone…”
“Heard that?” Ms. Fang sneered. “No one cares about them! They are just tricking us! They are getting more and more treacherous towards us!”
Elder Uncle felt humiliated, as he said in a sunken voice, “You should drop the idea! We are going to help, that is all! Understood?”
Qiao Xuan could not stand the whole thing any more. She smiled. “Mom, it is very easy to resolve this matter! We can help them the way they help us, that is fairness, right?”
The whole family immediately got clarity in their minds.
Shao Yunduan could not help but glance at Qiao Xuan, smiling.
He had come up with the idea before, but he could not say it out loud. He was the son, who should not humiliate his father publicly.
It was better for his wife to say so.
“That is true!” Shao Sanlang struck his leg, eyes sparkling. “This is a great idea! You are so smart, Fifth Sister-in-law!”
Eldest Uncle shivered. “Shut up, Ms. Qiao, what kind of idea is it? Seedling is an important thing, we have to take it seriously!”
Ms. Fang was very displeased. She sneered. “What are you shouting at my daughter-in-law for? We are being totally fair, not messing around! Seedling is a very important thing, so you can ask your brothers to pay attention to their own business. It should not be delayed, right? Why didn’t you blame them for being lazy? Isn’t seedling important for them?”
“If you like them so much, you can help them yourself!”
Qiao Xuan said, “After the seedling process is over, we are going to host the wedding for the Third Sister-in-law, and we are totally occupied. I need to hire Elder Brother and Elder Sister-in-law to help with preparations…”
She really did not have time to help the other sections of the family with anything.
Qiao Xuan was not yet done with lipsticks. She needed to continue with her work.
Yuezheng Xiao had told her that she should make as many as possible, and he was going to buy them all.
They only had 500 lipsticks available for sale. She had to hurry up.
One lipstick was worth 2 liang and that was a great thing.
They had no wax, so she needed to take Qi and Taotao into the mountains.
She was going to take in 30 bees boxes within a month.
She planned to plant mushrooms too, apart from lipsticks.
She had made a new plan. She was going to plant fungus, especially white fungus, which were widely accepted, valuable and precious.
