89 With Fifth Sister-in-law
The brother and sister nodded and shook their heads dazedly.
“Fifth Sister-in-law, that is too much! We did nothing much, please just give half of that amount.”
“Yes, yes!”
Ms. Fang also brought herself back and said with a smile, “Ms. Qiao, we got this because of you, they can just take 1 liang in total.”
In the past, before her daughter-in-law was married to their family, no one had sold honey for so much money. They managed to earn this much because of what her fifth daughter-in-law did for them.
Now they would be able to host a good wedding for her third son. Ms. Fang felt really relieved when she received so much money suddenly.
Qiao Xuan did not change her mind. Qi and Taotao thanked her and looked at their fifth sister-in-law in admiration.
They were definitely going to hang out with Fifth Sister-in-law more in the future.
Qiao Xuan added. “Mom, put away the money. We may use it at some point in time, and… keep it a secret…”
Ms. Fang realized what she meant. She looked at her two sons and her daughter. “True, you must keep these earnings a secret, and not reveal it to anyone else, not even to your father.”
Money was always going to be useful, and she needed to save some.
Qi and Taotao nodded in agreement. So did Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan was heading to the school, whilst Qiao Xuan and Ms. Qiao were going to do some more shopping, so they waved goodbye at an intersection.
Shao Yunduan whispered to Qiao Xuan. “If you ever run into someone from the Qiao Family, just avoid them…”
If Madame Qiao knew that Qiao Xuan was in town, she was not going to let go of the opportunity to humiliate her.
Qiao Xuan felt her heart turn warm, as she smiled. “I will. And I will take care of Mom and our brother and sister.”
Shao Yunduan smiled. “Thanks.”
Ms. Fang pretended not to notice that her son and daughter-in-law were whispering with each other. She smiled brightly. “The two of them are so sweet together!”
Qiao Xuan had intended to stay away from the Qiao Family, so after she left Shao Yunduan, she grabbed a towel to cover herself.
Ms. Fang was very satisfied seeing how her daughter-in-law behaved. She thought that Qiao Xuan had covered herself up because she did not want anyone else to stare at her beautiful face.
Ms. Fang told Qiao Xuan that she was not going to return the 2 liang to her. She said, “We must let your father-in-law know that we owe you 2 liang. If you need money at any point, come to me in private.”
Qiao Xuan had never intended to ask Ms. Fang to return the 2 liang, but if there was a proposal like this, she would not turn it down. She smiled and nodded in an understanding way.
That made Ms. Fang feel even more gratified. Ms. Xu would not have said yes to such a proposal ever.
Soon, they were done shopping.
Qiao Xuan weighed 1 kg of snacks, some dried chilis, star anise, fennel and other seasonings, before heading ahead to buy the meat.
Qiao Xuan bought a large piece of lamb chops. She wanted to go back and make pan-fried lamb chops. After adding some honey on top of it, the dish would smell delicious.
She bought one more hoof and a large piece of pork belly.
The hoof could be stewed with turnips, and half of it would be fried to make a dish with a sweet and sour flavor. The other half would be served with chopped chives, and the taste would be really beyond anticipation.
The pork belly would be added with soy sauce, honey and then fried to make BBQ pork.
May was around the corner, and the day was getting warmer. The meat could not be preserved for long. If it was made into BBQ pork, it could be kept for two more days.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao offered to pay for the meat. They could not possibly ask Qiao Xuan to pay for everything.
“I was thinking about buying some meat and having Fifth Sister-in-law cook it for us. We can’t let you pay for it and cook at the same time!”
