194 Not Others
In addition, she could plant some straw mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and poplar mushrooms, which would be delicious to be eaten.
She did not trust anyone else, but her family!
Ms. Xu did not dare to counter her father-in-law while facing something else. But Qiao Xuan was talking about the business that helped Ms. Xu to earn money, so she had to say something!
Working for Qiao Xuan helped her earn money, and that made Ms. Xu feel really pleased. She often counted the money she had saved in the room, laughing like a silly woman. She was saving it all for her own future!
So when Qiao Xuan offered some more work, while her father-in-law intended to get them to help the other sections of the family, she felt really annoyed.
As a result, Ms. Xu said boldly, “True! Dad, we can’t delay what Fifth Sister-in-law needs us to do, right? We must help our own family first…”
Ms. Fang looked at Ms. Xu. “You are right, we should understand who is closer, and who is further away from us!”
Furious, Eldest Uncle finally snapped. “You are all trying to irritate me! Alright then, you all can stay put. I will go over myself!”
Having said the words, Eldest Uncle walked away, angrily.
Ms. Fang sneered. “Alright, just leave my sons alone! Don’t you forget to stay for lunch there!”
Eldest Uncle wanted to ignore what she said, but caught all of it. He got so annoyed that he almost tripped over.
Qiao Xuan bit her lips hard, trying not to laugh.
Shao Dalang panicked. “Mom, will this work? Will Dad get mad?”
Qiao Xuan was laughing inwardly. This Elder Brother was way too down-to-earth.
Of course her father-in-law was angry. He got so angry that he almost collapsed.
“Just leave him alone!” Ms. Fang sneered. “He asked for it! You should all listen carefully to me – never join him and help them!”
Shao Sanlang and the others nodded happily. “I won’t, never!”
Although they felt a bit unsure about their father being angry, it was such a wonderful feeling, wasn’t it?
Shao Dalang intended to say something more, when Ms. Xu tugged his sleeves, so he said nothing else.
His wife was smarter than him, so when his wife made the suggestion, he closed his mouth no matter how confused he was… unless it dealt with principles and bottom lines.
The following day, Shao Dalang and Ms. Xu went to work in their own fields.
Ms. Fang was busy with housework, whilst Qiao Xuan kept the two children company and fed the ducks and roosters.
Roosters only needed to walk in the yard, where they would get happy and return on their own at night.
Ducks and geese had grown very big as well. After they were fed, they were driven out of the home, and they returned in the evening after spending the whole day in the river.
Qiao Xuan was not very sure about the animals, so she followed the ducks and geese in the river and brought the two children along.
When they returned home, she knocked at the door, waking up Liu Yan.
Qiao Xuan felt that such a lazy person should not remain at home. If she had nothing to do, she would cause trouble.
In this case… she could be given to do something.
Liu Yan was hesitant. Apparently, she did not care about Qiao Xuan when she was not really in contradiction with her.
