Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

And among those rare individuals, finding a woman like Qiao Xuan was even more extraordinary.

Xie Jingrong felt a sense of admiration and grat.i.tude towards the couple, so he presented them with a pot of Green First Cla.s.s orchids and a pot of Song Mei orchids. These orchids were not only rare and valuable but also possessed breathtaking beauty.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan graciously accepted the gifts, appreciating Xie Jingrongs kind gesture.

Two days later, the papayas and dragon fruits were successfully planted. They had managed to cultivate 30 mu of papayas and 50 mu of dragon fruits, which was half of what Qiao Xuan had initially antic.i.p.ated. However, they viewed this as an experimental phase and were willing to take things slowly.

Surviving the upcoming winter was crucial. If they could endure and thrive during this season, it would pave the way for their success in the future. Qiao Xuan had a plan to gradually expand their cultivation once they had proven their resilience.

Failure to survive the winter would mean the end for their endeavors.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan diligently inspected the plants, and Qiao Xuan secretly utilized her superpower to enhance their growth. She carefully infused vitality and energy into the roots, akin to providing them with the best possible nourishment.

However, Qiao Xuan had her limitations when using her superpower. It drained her energy, and maintaining secrecy proved to be challenging.

The entire process consumed an entire afternoon.

When they were finally finished, Qiao Xuan let out a sigh of relief, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. She was grateful that her energy would replenish overnight, allowing her to continue her work the following day.

Realizing that their efforts thus far were insufficient, Qiao Xuan instructed the manager to refrain from stacking the prepared corn stalks and straw. She wanted to ensure that if a severe frost occurred, the straw could be burned to create dense smoke, providing warmth to the surrounding air and protecting the fruit seedlings.

As the day grew colder, the fields required the additional coverage of straw to safeguard the delicate roots.

Two days before their departure, Qiao Xuan decided to infuse more of her superpower into the plants. She planned to provide them with an extra boost of energy during their visit to the province a month before the New Year when they would purchase supplies.

By employing all available methods, Qiao Xuan believed that the effects would prove to be favorable.

After bidding farewell to First Madame, Yuezheng Xiao, and Xie Jingrong, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan didn’t spend much time in the province. Following the fruit and seed planting, they embarked on their journey back to the county.

On their way to the village, they unexpectedly encountered Ms. Zhang, who had returned once again.

Spotting Ms. Zhang from their cart, they momentarily doubted their eyes.

However, Ms. Zhang sneered at them with a rigid expression and swiftly departed without saying a word.

Upon their arrival home, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were warmly received by their family members who a.s.sisted them in sorting through the gifts and unloading the luggage. Qiao Xuan’s curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn’t resist asking about what had transpired in their absence.

Ms. Fang sneered and responded with irony, “Ah, that woman. The other night, during the rain, she came and fainted right at the doorstep of the second section of the family’s home. And there she stayed. Erlang still has some lingering feelings for her, after all.”

Yang Xiaoni’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she eagerly prepared to share the story. Qiao Xuan captured the moment in a picture, wanting to remember it.

Since her divorce, Ms. Zhang had been leading a tumultuous life with her mother and the rest of the family. She was constantly sobbing, her eyes red with grief. She expressed longing for her children and husband, and she carried a heavy burden of guilt regarding her brother. Her days were filled with sorrow.

Mrs. Zhang voiced her frustration, complaining that Ms. Zhang was utterly useless and that she never saw her wear a happy expression..
