Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

The Shao Family had not only made a fortune but had made a huge one! Otherwise poor countryside people would not have splurged like this.

In fact, the Shao Family would not have spent this much money in building a huge house like this, but for Qiao Xuan’s proposal.

Qiao Xuan was disgraced, so her dowry must not have been a lot. So, what on earth did the Shao Family do that they made a huge fortune?

That seemed weird…

“Did you find out where the Shao Family got the money from? Any news in the town?”

Normally, this kind of thing should have been spread all over the village. Even though it might intentionally be kept as a secret, some people would have heard something.”

Even if they did not want to admit a thing like this, the rumor would have originated from somewhere.

Ding Qiuyue shook her head, forcing a guilty and bitter smile. “Sorry, I didn’t hear anything regarding this. There was no rumor in the village. Even my mother has no idea about the fields at the Zhang Village. But Old Master, don’t worry, I did not tell anyone about this.”

If the news that the Shao Family had properties at the Zhang Village, which later became the Zhao Family’s, people would wonder how that would happen.

It was good that no one from Shapding Village knew about this.

The Zhao Family could definitely get the properties in his hands and make a fortune unexpectedly.

Old Master Zhao nodded his head. It seemed that the Shao Family was just lucky to have made a huge fortune all of a sudden.

That was why they did not say anything but started to buy land outside their own village.

As for the big house in the village… Old Master Zhao did not think that it was a big deal. Countryside people had never seen glazed windows, so how much that cost did not surprise them at all.

Even when they saw the Shao Family’s big house, they would not think that would be worth a lot.

Also, no one would look into the house across the tall yard.

“Okay, you can leave now.”

“Okay, Old Master.”

Old Master Zhao did not consider giving up even though he learned about

Qiao Xuan’s identity as County Magistrate Qiao’s daughter.

He was not going to get humiliated by the Shao Family who stole the stuff that should have belonged to him.

She was just a concubine’s daughter. Officer Qiao’s wife would not defend her, so she would have no one backing her up.

He could steal stuff from the Shao Family, and in the worst case, he could just visit the Qiao Family and give them some presents, along with a few nice words. Then all would be fine.

Madame Qiao was not going to defend a concubine’s daughter, was she?

Well, he had to be fast about the whole thing, and avoid making a scene. Otherwise it would be very difficult for Officer Qiao to stay away from the mess.

Old Master Zhao smiled sinisterly. He already had an idea about what to do.

He needed to make use of this concubine of his.

They spent half a day sorting through all the tea tree seedlings.

After lunch, the pile was loaded up for Qi to transport to the Zhang Village.

At noon, they made fish porridge, steamed white noodle buns, and cooked a pot of fish soup..
