“Ah, the daughter of a rich family is just too unreliable!”
“She is just burning money because she is rich!”
“See? I knew that the Shao Family could not do anything about her! It is such bad luck that they have a daughter-in-law !”
“It is not bad luck. She is wasting her own money, and the Shao Family are taking advantage of her money as well!”
“Anyway, I am going to the mountain for a walk!”
The villagers all went into the mountains suddenly.
There were many wild flowers and grass everywhere in the mountains, especially ordinary roses and gardenias which were really easy to find. Those flowers, which were ignored in the past, were flourishing in front of her!
Due to what happened with Yang Xiaoni, Qiao Xuan was really favored by Ms. Fang, who would not say a thing about what she wanted to do.
Ms. Fang was open-minded. She was spending her own money and had her own ideas about what to do. She, as the mother-in-law, should not get too worried.
Nor would anyone else in the Shao Family say anything about it.
But Eldest Uncle did not like it. He said involuntarily, “Ms. Qiao, the land is open now. You can plant some peanuts, beans, taros and sweet potatoes, which may help with some income. What are you planting flowers for? They are just good-looking and not at all practical. It is such a waste!”
Qiao Xuan smiled and explained. “Dad, I am going to keep some bees, and the flowers are for them. They don’t ruin the land!”
“Bees?” Eldest Uncle was startled and found the whole thing even more unreliable.
“Bees are not easy to keep… just drop the idea, there are flowers everywhere in the mountains, and the bees can go anywhere they want, why would they come here?”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “My flowers are better and can offer more honey!”
He shook his head dejectedly and sighed. She was just so unreasonable.
This daughter-in-law of his was so arrogant and never listened to the elderly’s words. How annoying!
He went to Ms. Fang and asked her to persuade her.
Ms. Fang blamed him for being too nosy. She believed that it was not necessary to intervene in the matter.
Eldest Uncle got so annoyed. He just did not like Qiao Xuan at all. But there was nothing he could do.
Second Uncle and Third Uncle both came over in anger.
Both of them snapped at Qiao Xuan for being unreliable and not fulfilling her promise.
They saw that Shao Dali and the other three were still working. Qiao Xuan had forgotten about her promise of hiring them.
“Why don’t you let us do this easy work? You are paying outsiders, and not thinking about us!”
“True, brother, that is so unreasonable!”
Qiao Xuan sneered inwardly – letting you work? That was like paying people in vain!
Shao Dali and those who were working for her were completely devoted to the task! They were not dragging their feet, and that was why Qiao Xuan had raised their salary.
If the second and the third sections of the family were to do the work, the task might not even be finished in three days.
They were all full of tricks, and she had seen through them how they tried to cheat the first section of the family again and again.
Before Qiao Xuan was able to speak, Shao Yunduan walked out of the room and said, “Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Brother Dali are already very familiar with what they are doing right now. We can’t just fire them halfway. We can talk about this next time.”
Second Uncle got furious. “What are you talking about? You are just making up excuses all the time!”
