Chapter 1137: Primus
Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xuan found herself just as puzzled as Ms. Fang about the situation. After asking a few questions, she finally learned what was happening. Ms. Fang then smiled and shared her mixed feelings, “I am angry, but I am also glad to see that they are so jealous and envious of us!”
Her daughter-in-law, Qiao Xuan, chuckled and replied with a smile, “It’s quite satisfying to think about, isn’t it?”
“Right?”
The mother and daughter-in-law laughed.
Ms. Fang sighed with a smile. “Fortunately, the second section of the family has no connection with us, and Erlang and Silang have their own daughter-in-law. Before we can do anything, they stopped Ms. Niu and her husband. Without helpers, the third section of the family can’t do anything. But let me tell you…”
Ms. Fang lowered her voice and said seriously, “Why do I feel that Liulang is behaving strangely? He has a dark look in his eyes, and he looks so scary when he looks at people, as if we have a deep grudge against him.”
“…He wasn’t like this before! I don’t think we have done anything bad to his family, how did he end up like this?”
Qiao Xuan was confused too. She thought for a while and smiled. “Mom, just leave him alone. He can’t do anything to us. We don’t need to beg him. He can hate us if he wants to!”
“Don’t tell me that my husband is displeased because he became the Primus?”
“That is possible!” Ms. Fang suddenly understood what was going on. She waved her hands and said disdainfully, “He is just jealous! He can’t tolerate anyone else being better than him; otherwise, he would get so annoyed. You are right, let’s just ignore him!”
Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile.
She was not as assured as Mother-in-law. Shao Liulang might be up to something. But he was just a Cultivated Talent and he could not do anything. She just needed to watch out for him.
Mother-in-law and Sanlang had always been afraid of him, and it would not be easy for him to set them up.
By the time he became a recommended man and Advanced Scholar, her husband would have reached a very high level.
Qiao Xuan did not believe that Shao Liulang was better than her husband.
Early the following morning, Qiao Xuan, Shao Sanlang, Shao Dalang, Yang Xiaoni, and Taotao went into the mountains with three escorts. That was enough.
They all remembered the way to pick the tea seeds. They went straight to the destination after entering the mountains.
It was the season when there were the most wild fruits and wild mountain mushrooms in the mountains. Wild fruits were no longer attractive to families. After all, there were many fruit trees in the garden at the back of the yard, and the fruits were large and sweet, and they could not be finished. But wild mountain mushrooms were still very attractive.
All kinds of mushrooms in autumn were fresh and fat. When picked, they could be fried, made into soup, stir-fried with pork and chicken, stewed, or made into dumplings and steamed buns. They were all very fresh.
But the tea seeds were more important, so they had to turn a blind eye to it.
With the help of three escorts, the two-day work was done in one day. Everyone had a lot of harvest and carried a few large bags of tea seeds home.
Qiao Xuan took the chance and put some advanced seedlings into the space, as well as some tea seeds.
The space was growing fast, and she did not need to pick the tea leaves. She was going to keep them to bloom and bear fruits, and then take out the tea seeds to breed and expand.
Tea was popular in the state, and good tea leaves could be sold out very easily.
Thousands of mu would not be too much.
