Chapter 311: Not Promised
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
They were not very happy to do the hard work, but if they did not offer help, the first section of the family might leave them halfway.
So, they had no choice but to carry the load and walk on.
Back at home, they were given one rooster and some yams, nothing more.
Shao Erlang and Shao Silang were very disappointed.
What they wanted was honey!
But as they thought about this, they believed that it was because they were not so lucky today. After all, if honey was so easily seen, the first section of the family might have made a fortune already.
But thinking that they had a wild rooster for dinner, the two of them still felt quite cheerful when they went home.
“Qi, are we going tomorrow to find honey?”
Shao Erlang and Shao Silang were still quite interested.
Shao Xiaoqi turned to look at Qiao Xuan subconsciously.
Qiao Xuan blinked at him and nodded slightly. Shao Xiaoqi smiled. “Sure!”
Shao Erlang and Shao Silang were excited again.
Shao Taotao asked. “Fifth Sister-in-law, are we still taking them to the mountains tomorrow?”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “We are not going tomorrow. Qi can take them. They love having fun in the mountains, right?”
They were so shameless after being taken care of by Eldest Uncle all these years.
Those who had the way of getting rich depended on their own abilities. No one would just come and demand a share!
Why would those who knew how to make money take someone else along for a free ride?
Everyone smiled after hearing that.
Shao Xiaoqi nodded with a smile. “Okay! I will give my two cousins a big tour!” Qiao Xuan smiled and praised him.
Shao Yunduan was going to take the imperial examination, and he needed to keep his reputation intact. Hence, Qiao Xuan tried to keep her methods low-profiled when using them upon the other sections of the family. Most of the time, she would make them give up the matter by themselves.
Otherwise, they would keep pestering the first section incessantly.
The following day, Shao Xiaoqi took the two cousins into the mountains again.
Shao Erlang and Shao Silang were both quite cheerful. They believed that when they found the honey, they could get a big portion. Shao Xiaoqi was just a young boy who was very easy to deal with.
Shao Xiaoqi went into the mountains, and traveled around easily. He intended to make them suffer by taking them up into the high mountains, weed-filled forests so that the two cousins got really tired.
They failed to find the honey after one whole day of roaming around. In fact, they ran into some wild bees. Shao Xiaoqi dashed off, and the two cousins did the same too.
By evening, they got very distressed as they came home.
But Shao Xiaoqi was quite motivated and asked. “Are you coming tomorrow?”
Shao Erlang and Shao Silang looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
“Can we find honey tomorrow?”
Shao Xiaoqi burst out in laughter. “I can’t promise that!”
Then… they were not going!
Shao Silang asked him in return. “It is so strange! Why can we not find it?”
Shao Xiaoqi pursed his lips.. “If it were so easy to find, we would have made a fortune by now!”
