Springtime farming: a happy wife at home Part - 1

336-340

336. Ready To Leave

There was no preferential treatment done in the first section of the family.

Ms. Fang was very generous, especially with plenty of money in her hands. She had abundant presents prepared for Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni.

A duck, a chicken, 30 eggs, 10 goose eggs, and a bottle of honey weighing about 2 catties, all of which were taken from home.

She also bought around four kilos of pork belly, two jars of wine, five kilograms of pastries, and two pieces of thick fine cloth.

Ms. Fang used the shared savings to buy these things. Ms. Fang would not care what more they would want to buy privately with their own money.

Ms. Fang did the same with her own family too.

Qiao Xuan was an exception though. Ms. Fang gave Qiao Xuan 20 liang and asked her and Shao Yunduan to buy according to their own customs.

After all, she did not know what the County Magistrate would require.

Since they treated Qiao Xuan badly and did not like the local stuff, they were not going to send things from home.

20 liang was enough for them to buy whatever they needed.

Qiao Xuan tried to turn down the 20 liang.

But Ms. Fang smiled. "I know you have money, but these are from shared savings, and what you need to do is to take it."

Qiao Xuan accepted it with a smile and spoke highly of her mother-in-law, making Ms. Fang smile brightly.

Ms. Xu was very happy. She could not help but raise her head, when she thought of how much she could take to her home.

This stuff should be enough, so she decided not to buy anything more except that she could offer 2 liang to her mother privately.

She asked Qiao Xuan for some tomatoes and watermelon seeds.

Tomatoes were very tasty for woked dishes and soup. When made into a sauce, it could be stirred with noodles.

Ms. Xu thought about taking some home for her parents to eat, so they could plant some more next year.

Qiao Xuan agreed generously. She picked some and together with some newly-picked mushrooms and wooden ears, she gave them all to Ms. Xu and her mother-in-law.

But for watermelons that were out of season, they could even bring some home too.

They even had some tea leaves prepared as well.

Qiao Xuan thought of her lipsticks. She told them not to share the information with their natal families.

Lipsticks were very special and had a huge potential. They would run out of stock instantly.

Qiao Xuan did not want this to be exposed so as to cause trouble for herself.

Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu both agreed.

Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu were very excited about visiting their own homes, but Yang Xiaoni was not willing to return to her house.

"Mom, I don't want to go back to my home. I don't want to give them anything!"

They would rather feed the food to the dogs!

Shao Sanlang added. "That is true! They bully my wife and still get good things from us? No way!"

Both of them were very angry. Ms. Fang, when reminded of Yang Liang and his wife, felt annoyed too.

The couple did not dare to cause trouble to Ms. Fang after being taught the lesson last time. But for Mid-autumn day which was approaching soon, Ms. Fang almost forgot about how the couple had behaved last time!
