Chapter 301: Tea Leaves Site

Also, the agent knew them well, and he knew that they always wanted to stay low-profile.

The whole thing was settled very fast.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan bought two connected mountains, totaling 500 mu. They spent 2033 liang, including all the fees.

In this transaction, they had spent half of the earnings gained from Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong.

Now, they had only 2300 liang left.

Qiao Xuan was very satisfied with the land contracts in her hand.

She was a young land owner with so many fields in hands. When she built the gardens, and filled in some staff, she would have a firm foundation.

Honestly speaking, since golden sprouts and lavender were such precious tea leaves, Qiao Xuan would not dare to plant them but for Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong's existence.

Otherwise, the plants would be stolen and attract trouble.

Money was always very attractive, and profits in this deal would be far and beyond. People might get really greedy for what they could possibly gain.

However right now, they felt well protected.

The agent handled the whole thing well. He claimed that a relative was here checking out the locations and decided to buy some land to plant tea leaves and herbs. The Land Officer of the Zhang Village did not suspect a thing.

Even if they realized that Qiao Xuan owned the land, it was fine. They could just say that they were hired. By the time they were capable enough, the land officer would very much want them to stay and get their villagers hired as the labor.

They barely had time to visit Ding Erzhu and Ms. Zhou, after they finished with the business. Hence, they stayed over for just a short while.

They understood that the couple was doing very well.

Qiao Xuan liked the Zhou Family. She was going to ask the Zhou Family for help when the tea garden was set up.

If she established a friendship with the Zhou Family, she would automatically become friends with Ding Xiang after she made it big in the future.

Qiao Xuan wondered how Ding Xiang felt when she left. Was she holding a grudge against her parents? Maybe yes but when she returned, she might still take care of them.

They were weak, but they had already been punished.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan returned to the town and joined the others, before going back home together.

As they went back home, the sun was already going down, and it would soon be dinnertime.

The summer was coming and the day was longer. It was still bright when they started to eat dinner.

The second section of the family heard about Ms. Zhang's narration regarding the honey. Second Uncle and Ms. Niu were very annoyed, and complained about the first section of the family for doing business alone.

It must have been Shao Xiaoqi who took the whole family to find honey. They should have asked the second section of the family to tag along, since they knew that they were running out of money.

The second section of the family could earn some money as well.

The honey could be sold at dozens of Wen for half a kilo.

Second section of the family came to Eldest Uncle about the matter, though they had intended to ignore him earlier.

Eldest Uncle knew that Shao Xiaoqi and Qiao Xuan would visit the mountains to get some mushrooms, bamboo and wild animals. But he did not know about the honey.

So when Second Uncle talked about this, he was startled as well.

He also agreed that Qi should have taken the other sections of the family along with him..
