Qiao Xuan asked in a calm voice. “Lady Zhao, do you think that the Shao Family are rich enough to get those fields and the big house?
Zhao Ming was startled.
She was confused too, but then she sneered. “It’s all thanks to you!’
Qiao Xuan shook her head. “It’s not me, but my husband. I only know that the fields are related to Young Master Yuezheng in the province, but 1 don’t know the details. Young Master Yuezheng keeps a low-profile, and he doesn’t like bragging. But this is not some dirty deal, so you can tell anyone you want.” Qiao Xuan was still trying to use Yuezheng Xiao as the shield.
Afterwards, she could go to Shao Yunduan and talk about the compensation. Alos, Yuezheng Xiao had a manager who was now residing at the Zhang Village. He could be the messenger.
He was working for the Yuezheng Family, and he would always work better than Shao Yunduan as proof.
Zhao Ming had heard of the Yuezheng Family in the province. She was startled hearing what Qiao Xuan said. “You are lying to me, aren’t you?”
Qiao Xuan. “You can believe me, or not. It depends on you.”
Zhao Ming snorted and flushed furiously. She got very angry about not being able to get the fields.
Maybe she was even looked down upon by Qiao Xuan.
She did not need the fields. She just wanted to vent her anger.
How could that be so difficult?
“So, Young Master Yuezheng has purchased all those fields? What does he need those fields for?”
Qiao Xuan replied with a shrug. “I am not sure about it!”
Qiao Xuan sounded so natural just when she said that. She was just ‘a woman’, who should not be involved with family business, right?
Zhao Ming believed so too. She looked at Qiao Xuan quietly. She was not very satisfied, but there was nothing she could do.
She could not go and get the information from Shao Yunduan.
Qiao Xuan was chuckling inwardly, thinking that she could imagine all the stories she wanted.
It was time to make lunch and Qiao Xuan did not want Zhao Ming to stay here any longer.
“Lady Zhao, it is time for lunch, 1 think you can…”
Zhao Ming snorted and looked disdainful – so stingy. She believed that she was going to remain for lunch? She did not want to eat anything from the poor family.
“Qiao Xuan, you must never lie to me. I will look into what you said. If you have lied to me, I will teach you a lesson. Qiu Rong, we should leave now!”
Zhao Ming left arrogantly.
Qiao Xuan ignored her and told Ms. Fang about it.
When Ms. Fang learned that Zhao Mings brother was hanging out with Shao Liulang, so she snapped. “No wonder she seems like a bad person. She looks down at us! She should never bother to come to our door if she looks down at us. We are not begging her!”
Qiao Xuan laughed. “Mom, next time she is here, send someone to fetch me but do not speak with her. Ladies from the town are always arrogant and they never talk nicely. Don’t take what they say to your heart, or get upset, okay?”
Ms. Fang smiled and said, “Thanks for your concern, my daughter-in-law!” They happened to go into the mountains the previous day, and hadn’t finished eating the muntjac meat they hunted back. At noon, they made shredded pork in sauce, braised venison, crucian carp loofah soup, fried wolfberry sprouts, river shrimp fried spring leeks, and a bowl of kimchi pickled with carrots, beans, chili, and cabbage.
Those seasonal vegetables were delicious and fresh..
