They were all startled.
But Shao Yunduan smiled. “Yes. We are earning money, not stealing or robbing anyone, so we don’t have to be afraid of our secret getting revealed.
Qiao Xuan nodded. “Very true!”
She was just worried about the Qiao Family, not the Shao Family. They had kept it a secret only because they wanted to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
If it was known, it would not matter either.
Shao Sanlang and the others felt assured and nodded. Soon, they started to talk cheerfully as well.
Shao Yunduan accompanied them to Mingren Tang, said a few words and then headed to Minghua College.
Qiao Xuan sold the honey to Manager Qin at the price as before – 70 won for half a kilo, and they received 4-5 qian for the 30 kilos.
They were given nine qian respectively, excluding Qiao Xuan.
Ms. Fang had told them that they did not need to hand in this little money any more and they could keep it.
This was not a small amount, and they were all excited as they headed towards the street for shopping.
“We have decided to buy some snacks, what do you think?” Shao Sanlang was actually trying to drive away Qiao Xuan and the other two followers.
He wanted to spend the time alone with his wife so that they could go shopping for food.
Qiao Xuan nodded and decided to quit as the third wheel. She said, “We will buy some garments. You both can look around.”
The couple had been waiting for this sentence to come and added. “Okay, okay!
We can go shopping separately and gather here for lunch, what do you think? What about finding a good restaurant to eat in?”
The three of them nodded. Shao Sanlang told Shao Xiaoqi to take good care of Taotao and Fifth Sister-in-law. “We will buy some meat for tonight and tomorrow. You don’t need to buy any!”
Qiao Xuan volunteered to become the chef for tonight. She added. “Then, buy a piece of pork belly, a pork rib, and two elbows. Last time, some rice noodles were left. Half of the pork belly would be made into double-cooked pork, the other half would be steamed, the elbow would be cooked into sweet and sour, and the rest would be served with the spare ribs. The remaining stuff can be eaten tomorrow.”
Shao Sanlang and the couple could not help but drool. “Okay, let’s do as Fifth Sister-in-law says.”
Then, the two teams went their separate ways as per their own shopping plan.
Before lunch, they gathered at Mingren Tang with many shopping bags. Qiao Xuan even got some pastries for Mingren Tang and the two pageboys to eat so they could place their stuff there for the time being.
Manager Qin did not reject them. He received them passionately.
The five of them went into the restaurant for lunch.
Shao Yunduan was still at the college and did not join them.
Yang Xiaoni was at a restaurant for the first time and she was very excited about it. She believed that the dishes at the restaurant would be very tasty.
But Qiao Xuan could make equally good ones.
After lunch they went back to Mingren Tang and waited.
Shao Yunduan came over and went away with Qiao Xuan.
It was very easy to buy mountain fields. The agent took them to the Zhang
Village and spoke with the Land Officer about it, and the deal was done quickly.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan did not show up in person, but let the agent speak with the Land Officer, telling him that it was some relatives who were buying. The agent did not figure out why he was supposed to say that but his mouth remained sealed. He didn’t ask about anything even though he was curious.. He just cared about the money!
