Chapter 1138: Trouble

Editor:Henyee Translations

In the future, the tea fields would be larger in scale. Whether it was the management of the tea fields, the harvesting of tea, the production of tea in the workshop, or the packaging, they all needed people. They could also let the villagers earn a portion of the salary, which was a good thing.

On their way home, they picked some tea seeds and some wild mushrooms. There were not many, just enough for tonight and tomorrow.

The following morning, Qiao Xuan, Taotao, and Yang Xiaoni ventured into the mountains not too far from the village to pick some more mushrooms. They decided not to go deep into the mountains this time.

Ms. Fang asked Shao Sanlang to buy some meat dishes early in the morning, as they were planning to prepare two tables of good dishes for the Land Officer, some respected elders, and close family members.

In a couple of days, Qiao Xuan was going back to the capital.

Ms. Ma and Third Uncle were here too, as they were counted as part of the family.

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle wanted to join them, but Shao Erlang and his brother stopped them.

Qiao Xuan asked Yang Xiaoni and Taotao to go to the second section of the family and invited Ms. Yan and Mei Qing to join them for dinner.

Shao Erlang and his brother noticed that Qiao Xuan treated their daughter-in-law differently and was still very close to her. When their daughter-in-law spoke with them, Qiao Xuan treated them well, and now she was giving them face by inviting Ms. Yan and Mei Qing. This made them even happier, and they were determined not to let their parents cause any trouble.

We have a different relations.h.i.+p with the first section of the family now, so lets not cause any more trouble!

True!

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle couldnt persuade their sons, so they dropped the idea.

Shao Erlang and Shao Silang were not stupid. They knew their parents had offended the first section of the family, and if they needed help in the future, they would have to rely on their daughter-in-law.

If they continued to cause trouble, things would get worse.

As parents were getting old, they needed to think about themselves and their childrens future, so they could not allow them to get involved anymore.

Without Ms. Niu and Second Uncle, Ms. Ma and Third Uncle would not be able to do much.

They were quite interesting; they expressed that they were going to help Qiao Xuan manage The Zhang Familys tea field in front of the Land Officer and others. They complained, We can help each other, why rely on outsiders? We are so humiliated!

Qiao Xuan pointed at Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni. Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are taking care of the tea field, and we have many people at home, so we dont need Third Uncle and Third Aunt-in-laws help!

Ms. Ma pursed her lips. If they dont care about us, we can go there at least once a day! No one is watching them every day, and you dont even know that outsiders are taking advantage of them!

Of course, they would need to use the donkey cart from the first section of the family, and they would need to be paid as well.

Qiao Xuan smiled. No need, no need, thanks.

Ms. Ma was about to say something when Ms. Fang couldnt stand it anymore. Third Sister-in-law, if you dont want to eat, you can go home first. Ms. Qiao, cant you decide if you need to hire anyone?

If it werent for the fact that Ms. Fang didnt want to ruin the dinner, she would have driven Ms. Ma away directly.

Qiao Xuan had the same idea.

Ms. Ma shut her mouth when she saw the two displeased female elders.

Qiao Xuan did not think that she could turn down the proposal in front of so many people. After all, she was the wife of an officer, and she had to take care of the whole family. But it was still annoying!

If they failed to mention it today, they would not be able to do so in the future.

Ms. Ma felt so annoyed.

Hearing the flattering words of Ms. Fang and Qiao Xuan, she felt even more annoyed.
