51 Qiao Xuan’s Laughter

Qiao Xuan was always very fast while giving out the payment.

When everyone held the heavy coins in their hands, they became happier and more motivated.

Ms. Niu came to have a look at the land with her grandson in her arms. She sneered at Qiao Xuan for being so stupid. She had just bought a wasted piece of land and was treating it as a piece of treasure. That was simply a waste of money!

Moreover, the whole family was helping her with the land!

Qiao Xuan asked. “I wonder whether my cousins are free tomorrow? What about coming over to give us a hand? We are a family, aren’t we? We should help each other!”

Ms. Niu glared at her without hesitation. “They are not free. Don’t ask them to come here!”

Then she ran away with grandson in her arms.

She was worried that Qiao Xuan would catch her if she was even one second slower!

Qiao Xuan was laughing behind her back.

One wild rooster and one rabbit were served at the dinner.

The rabbit was cut into slices and fried in hot oil. Then it was woked with peeled garlics and deep-fried dried chilis as well as ginger pieces. Finally, a dish of fried rabbit was made.

The wild rooster was turned into a very light dish. A bowl was used to hold the sliced chicken, which was later steamed in water. The soup turned out to be white, tender and sweet.

Two dishes of vegetables were cooked, which made the dinner table full of meat and vegetables.

They were all tired from labor work today, but the food made them brighten up. They all spoke highly of the delicacies.

From time to time, they had eaten wild roosters and rabbits, but they were never cooked in this way. They all spoke highly of Qiao Xuan’s cooking skills. She was considered smart as well!

Eldest Uncle said nothing. He thought that his brothers had got some share too.

During the daytime, Ms. Fang had already dealt with the wild rooster and rabbits well. She put them into a jar so it would not go bad even after half a month.

Qiao Xuan was thinking that maybe Shao Xiaoqi could bring some to the town and sell it.

But they could only start with acquaintances.

Otherwise some hooligans might lay eyes on them.

Normally, restaurants had a set menu, and their own resources. Otherwise they would not accept some random wild roosters and rabbits.

But they could work on some rich families who had good air. When they got the preys, they could try selling those animals to them.

The group spent one and half a day cleaning up the 13 mu land, and they hired two masons to build up the four-side wall, which took another one and half a day.

Qiao Xuan did not want anyone to sneak a peek at her land, so she had a concerete wall built with bricks, not with fences.

The wall was as tall as three meters.

Then she opened two doors from her own yard, and chained it up.

‘wasteland’ was done, Qiao Xuan asked Shao Dalang and the team to clean up 60 mu of land at the entrance of the village.

What they needed to do was to clear up the bushes and weeds.

Shao Dalang and the team accepted the mission directly.

Ms. Xu was glad too. She was counting how much money she would get after four days, which would be enough for the team to finish their work. In this way, she and her husband were going to get 80 wen, half of which would be shared with the rest of the family and half would be kept for themselves.

Qiao Xuan felt really satisfied when she saw the achievement. But a row broke out in the village.

“Look at Shao Dakun’s family! The daughter-in-law is making a wall around that wasteland! That is such a waste of money! The amount spent should be enough to build a brick house!”

“Splurging housewife, what a splurging housewife!”
