Qiao Xuan smiled and replied, “Let them take their time to think it over. It’s only a couple of days. I’m not one to wait around either. Besides, they wouldn’t figure out a better means of making a living anyway.”
Nis. Fang chuckled and agreed, saying, “That’s very true!”
Deep down, she knew that her daughter-in-law had bought the land to cultivate flowers and trees, keep bees, and continue producing lipsticks. She had no intention of letting others in on her secret. They couldn’t possibly replicate the lipstick-making process. It was time for them to stop dreaming!
With the earnings from the land sales, they could build a new house and acquire additional fields for storage purposes. Everything would turn out well.
What was the use of prying into Qiao Xuan’s plans for the money?
Everyone agreed that nothing in the world came for free. Qiao Xuan was offering such a high price not because the buyers were fellow villagers, but because there must be a more significant fortune behind her actions. They couldn’t afford to miss out on such an opportunity.
And they were right. Qiao Xuan wasn’t simply giving away money. She was genuinely trying to help the villagers, and her flower and lipstick business would easily recoup the investment.
She didn’t mind spending that much for their benefit.
The choice was simple and clear-cut. It was up to each individual to determine whether they found it worthwhile.
If they believed they had the means to sell the land at a higher price on their own and felt confident about their fortune, they were free to do so.
They didn’t need to concern themselves with what others were doing. Their main objective was to earn money, wasn’t it?
On the other hand, if they didn’t think selling the land would fetch them a substantial sum, they could choose to forgo the opportunity.
Ultimately, the decision was theirs to make.
Those who had their own ideas refrained from prying into the matter with the first group of families. They understood that they wouldn’t gain any information from them, so they approached other families instead.
They believed that those families might have some knowledge about the situation.
However, to their surprise, neither of the other families knew anything about the first group of families purchasing land. They were equally perplexed as to why the land was bought from outsiders rather than within their own families.
“No, I must speak with them!”
Ms. Niu was unable to tolerate the situation and was ready to confront the first group of families instead of entertaining questions from outsiders.
However, Ms. Yan immediately intervened and stopped her.
With a smile, she dismissed those who were prying, saying, “Mom, 1 don’t think we need to delve into this matter. They purchased fields that are adjacent to their own. Since our fields are not available, they didn’t approach us. That must be the reason why they excluded us.”
But Ms. Niu was not convinced by this explanation.
She added, “l don’t care. They bought fields, and that’s all there is to it. I’m starting to believe that they deliberately avoided buying our fields! ”
Confused by her mother-in-law’s widened eyes, Ms. Yan let out a perplexed sound. “What?”
Ms.. Niu continued, “Do you think they refused to buy our fields so that they could acquire the ones that are interconnected?”
