165 Bad For Money

Although she was very jealous of her fifth sister-in-law who kept making a lot of money, she knew pretty well that she was not capable enough to do the same all by herself.

Therefore, she was envious, yet happy in the present situation.

After all, when Fifth Sister-in-law made a fortune, she was benefiting from it too.

Moreover, Fifth Sister-in-law had told her that there would be numerous tasks for them to do in future, and she would be paid for all the work, like the 40 wen she received today. She gave 20 wen to the shared savings, and the remaining 20 wen was left for her.

Qiao Xuan was cooking dinner tonight as a celebration of what they had achieved in the daytime.

They still had one duck remaining at home.

They bought two ducks a couple of days ago, one for the Dragon Boat Festival, and the other one was kept for this day.

The duck meat was minced, and the garlic sprouts and green peppers were chopped. The peanuts in the rice pot were fried until they became crispy. Then the peanuts were smashed and stir-fried together with the rest. Some steamed buns were also made which could be eaten with the fried duck meat.

The others were cut into slices and stewed with the sun dried bamboo shoots for soup.

They scooped out two carps from the tank in the backyard, and fried them on two sides. They added clear water, chopped pickles and cooked it with dried chilis.

Another fat catfish was taken and stewed with fresh eggplants. The catfish was fat but not greasy, and the eggplants had a strong fragrance. The two dishes complemented each other.

Then, a plate of dry beans and a plate of cold garlic lettuce were made alongside, which was good with the meat.

Whenever Qiao Xuan was cooking, everyone in the family was so glad, especially Shao Junyan and Shao Qing, who had no idea what was being cooked yet they knew that their fifth sister-in-law was making good things.

Seeing the fish and meat served on the table, Eldest Uncle was really concerned about the spending. The fish was alright, but what about the duck? How could they kill ducks when it was not festival time?

They were villagers! They should not live like this!

The money could not be used to live such a spoilt life!

But he said nothing when he looked at Qiao Xuan. She had always said that she bought these with her dowry, and there was no way for him to counter it.

Therefore, he could only eat the food and feel guilty for his brothers.

The following day, Qiao Xuan asked Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao to accompany her to the town. She did not want Shao Yunduan to come along.

Shao Yunduan’s main mission was to study, and he could not possibly travel with her all the time.

Also, he did not have to go along this time. She had told Yuezheng Xiao that she would bring the lipsticks to him, that was all.

She was determined that Shao Yunduan had to agree to her proposal.

He kept reminding her to conceal her face so the Qiao Family would not notice her.

The three of them entered the town and went to the hotel.

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao had never met such handsome and noble-looking young masters so they felt a bit restrained. They were both dumbfounded.

Qiao Xuan stabilized them.

She needed their help in the future, and needed to bring them along to experience the world so that they could gradually get better.

It was normal for village people to meet city noble young masters and react like this for the first time.

If she needed to broaden their horizons, she would need them to move around more often.

“What have you brought for me, Mrs. Shao, let me have a look!” Yuezheng Xiao said happily.

He was very curious!

Second Miss of the Qiao Family was a lot of fun!

Xie Jingrong was present there as well. He was curious too, but he was not as unrestrained as Yuezheng Xiao.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “I only bring good things to you, Young Master Yuezheng!”
