Ms. Fang snapped at their retreating figures. “You should have realized this point earlier!”
Shao Xiaoqi scratched his head and whispered. “Mom, do you think they are going to tell Dad about this?”
Ms. Fang knocked at his forehead. “Who cares!”
Shao Xiaoqi grimaced and shut up.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Dad should be a reasonable man. Isn’t it natural that I am in charge of my own dowry?”
Ms. Fang sighed slightly and turned to Qiao Xuan, speaking kindly. “Ms. Qiao, let’s just drop what happened today. Don’t buy so many things in the future, keep the money for later use.”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Don’t worry, Mom, we can earn money when it is spent. Also, I have got something to discuss with you and my husband. I am thinking about buying some land.”
Both Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu were startled. Even Shao Yunduan threw a surprised look at her.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Let’s go to the room and talk.”
For farmers’ families, buying land, building houses and buying bulls were always important things. When Ms. Fang heard that Qiao Xuan had such a plan, she completely forgot about Ms. Niu, Ms. Ma and all others. She was totally distracted.
After walking around the village two days ago, Qiao Xuan had already made a good plan. There was a slope of about ten acres behind the Shao family. Because the soil was shallow and there were many stones, it remained deserted. She planned to buy it, so as to cultivate mushrooms, plant fruit trees, some precious medicinal materials such as gastrodia elata, Panax notoginseng, Solomon’s seals, etc.
When it was time to build fences, it could be connected with the yard at home, making it extremely convenient to take care of.
That was a place which was an eyesore in other people’s eyes. But she was a person with a wood superpower, and it should be a great place for her.
Her superpower was growing day by day, and the more she used it, the faster it grew. It looked as if she were in the process of cultivating her superpower.
If she planted two trees for each kind of fruit and expanded the range for four, or five mu, they would always have all kinds of fruits for the rest of their lives.
Then she could build some houses for mushrooms, and with the superpower of hers, she could harvest a lot within a short while.
As for the rest of the four or five mu, she could plant gastrodia elata, Panax notoginseng planted there. She could use her superpower to make them grow well.
Moreover, she could have a batch of hens in the place that was isolated from the mushroom house and medical field. It would be so wonderful!
Apart from the small land in the back of the yard, she planned to buy a patch of valleys and land close to the village. That was a huge land, but she could not afford so much, only 60 mu would do.
On that land, she planned to plant China roses and multiflora roses, red and blue flowers, pomegranates, sweet-scented osmanthus, lilies, safflowers, gardenia and other safflowers and aromatic flowers and trees.
With that, she could feed twenty to three beehives.
Red flowers could be used to make lipstick rouge, and the essence of aromatic flowers and trees could be extracted to make perfume.
Thanks to the superpower she had, all the work would be so easy for her. As long as she could concentrate, she could keep control of the plants and extract stuff out of them. She was very sensitive to the scent of flowers as well, and making perfumes would not be difficult either.
She had tried all of these. She picked some mints from the yard and with almost no effort, she was able to extract two portions of very pure mint oils.
With this superpower of hers, she was definitely going to live a lovely life and make a fortune.
But she was going to keep it a secret from Ms. Fang and Shao Yunduan.
They would not believe her words either, even if they were told.
So what she said was that she was going to plant some fruit trees in the back of the yard, and the crops would be planted in the mountains. She looked forward to seeing what the harvest would be like.
