Sure enough, when the honey had just been hidden, Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma arrived, together with Shao Xiaozhi and Shao Meiling.
Ms. Fang shared a rooster with them. “Dalang and the other boys have worked very hard these days, and Yunduan has been devoted to studies and he needs to get supplements. You can share one. If you think it is too little, you don’t get any.”
When they heard ‘work’, they glared at Qiao Xuan, but when Ms. Fang talked about Shao Yunduan, the two aunts could not possibly say anything against that.
They left with one rooster, annoyedly.
“Qi gets back things even less than earlier!”
“Yes, just two wild roosters in one day, not good enough to share.”
Ms. Fang snorted. She had an open mind and did not want to split hairs with these two annoying people.
But after her fifth daughter-in-law came to their home, their family situation had been raised compared to before, which made Ms. Fang feel good.
Ms. Fang said to Qiao Xuan, “Let me tell you, Ms. Qiao, Yang Liang asked someone to pass on the message that they want to see us tomorrow to talk about the wedding gifts! Damn Yang Liang, it serves him right! Your idea worked!”
Ms. Fang felt quite happy to have vented her anger.
“Really?” Qiao Xuan got happy and said, “Then I will go with you tomorrow.”
Ms. Fang snorted. “Not tomorrow. We don’t have to be in a hurry.”
She should not let that man get what he wanted so easily.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Mom, let’s just go tomorrow morning. We should not split hairs with people like them. We are going to show our sincerity to the Yang Family, right?”
Ms. Fang came to her senses. “You are right, let’s go tomorrow.”
She and Qiao Xuan had put on a show at the Yang Family to display their sincerity. If they slowed down all of a sudden now, the efforts they made earlier would get wasted.
Yang Liang passed on the message through a messenger, rather than come to the door personally, because he thought that they would not want to visit him out of anger.
But they were not going to fall for the trick made by him!
Qiao Xuan told Ms. Fang about honey, and Ms. Fang was both surprised and happy. She went into Shao Taotao’s room and had a look at it along with Qiao Xuan.
She had a small taste of it and her eyes sparkled. “It is a rare thing! You are so lucky as to get so much honey without being stung. Some villagers were bitten all over their faces when they tried to get the honey, including your Third Brother. You are so lucky!”
“Pharmacies in the town would want to buy things , and the price is not low.”
When Qiao Xuan decided to keep the bees, she was going to extract a lot of honey. But she did not care about the honey, except… “When I purify the honey, I will keep it in the jar and sell it in the city!”
The honey that was newly harvested was full of small things, and it needed to be purified, so was beeswax.
That was going to open a road for her in making a fortune.
Ms. Fang did not know anything about her plans, so she nodded in agreement to whatever Qiao Xuans said. Her daughter-in-law was a noble-born lady, and had vast knowledge about everything. Hence, everything she said should be right.
Since it was still early, Qiao Xuan went to help with some work in Shao Taotao’s room.
The first section of the family was filled with people, and there would be more and more in the future. It wasn’t always convenient to do something.
