Qiao Xuan said, “It is never easy to make money, and you can’t simply have others do everything for you. Let me tell you, we are getting richer but you are never going to get a penny out of our wealth!”
“Only if you work hard and earn every penny one by one, will you have a chance.
But if you don’t work hard and hope to get everything for free, you will get nothing!’
Ms. Zhang looked at Qjao Xuan with hatred. She did not take in anything Qjao Xuan said.
It seemed that Ms. Zhang was the most extreme one from the second section of the family.
That was so unexpected.
Qjao Xuan found her annoying but also pitiful. That was because her parents had taught her something against morality.
But this matter had nothing to do with her. It was all her family’s business. Before Ms. Zhang could say anything, Qjao Xuan left with Shao Taotao.
Shao Taotao whispered. “Fifth Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law look so scary. How did she become like this? She was not like this before!’
Qiao Xuan shook her head. “I don’t know. She only focuses on her brother and is probably stimulated by what happened last time.”
Shao Taotao could not understand it and said, “But she is married now, and even if she wants to help her own family, she can’t just steal her mother-in-law’s money, right?”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “She knows nothing. We can’t become like her. We should stay away from her.”
Shao Taotao understood this point very well.
After a few days, Yuezheng Xiao’s men came to fetch the last batch of watermelons.
The good weather had saved the watermelons.
They were large and refined on the surface, with a layer of smoothness. The shell sounded crisp upon knocking. They seemed to be wonderful watermelons.
The men from the Yuezheng Family were surprised and glad to receive such good watermelons in the last batch.
Qjao Xuan gave them a dozen more, and the rest were kept at home. She planned to plant some more with the seeds she kept back.
Ms. Xu intended to take some seeds to her own family, and she approved of it. She could give some spare ones to the others who needed it.
Qjao Xuan and Shao Yunduan proposed that they wanted to visit the province.
The coachman and pageboy of the Yuezheng Family nodded without hesitation. They were in a good relationship and they were welcome anytime.
Qiao Xuan decided to bring the 600 lipsticks along, and Yuezheng Xiao did not need to send anyone else over to fetch them.
She even had hundreds of mint-smelling lip balms ready with her.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan talked with the family about this, seeing that the Yuezheng Family had sent their men over to fetch the watermelons.
Ms. Fang did not stop them. Her son needed to check the place ahead of time to learn about the imperial examination, so that he could be more prepared.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were very happy that they could tag along.
Ms. Fang felt even more assured when they had company. So she approved of that proposal too.
“That is the province! There are so many things over there! I want to visit the place too!’
Shao Sanlang felt so jealous and looked at Shao Yunduan with a look of begging.
Yang Xiaoni nodded excitedly. She wanted to tag along as well.
Before Shao Yunduan said anything, Ms. Fang hit Shao Sanlang on his head “Drop this idea! You should stay at home and get the wood! We will be so busy during the harvest season that we won’t have time to get enough firewood! You can help us chop more wood. Taotao and Ms. Qjao can keep each other company, and Qi can run errands for your Fifth Brother.. You will be superfluous there!’
