Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home - Chapter 74

74 Qiao Xuan’s Smile

Qiao Xuan had transplanted all those plants from mountains and later, she was going to use her superpower so they could grow beautifully.

When Shao Dalang was helping with the fence, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were getting ready to buy some flowers in the city.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Actually, Qi and Taotao would be enough to come along with me. This visit might waste your study time. I don’t want Mom and Dad to blame me!”

Shao Yunduan said, “It is fine, I also need to walk around a little.”

She was his wife, at least in name, and it was normal that he kept her company on her trip.

!!
The Qiao Family did not treat her well. What if they ran into the Qiao Family and she was bullied by them. What would Qi and Taotao be able to do about it?

Qiao Xuan smiled and accepted the offer.

There was only one flower store in the city, and offered just a few kinds of flowers. Qiao Xuan bought all the flowers including pomegranates, jasmines, gardenias, cloves, Chinese roses, ordinary roses, sweet-scented osmanthus, white orchids.

The bullock cart was filled with them.

The florist was very happy and even gave her some rebate.

All those flowers were very commonly-seen varieties, and the whole thing cost her only 3.2 liang.

The flowers were unloaded and Shao Xiaoqi, as well as Shao Taotao came over to help carry the flowers under Qiao Xuan’s instruction.

Ms. Xu, who had been working on the fences, joined them too.

Ms. Xu was smiling happily. She had been very motivated to work recently. She got up when dawn broke and had even taken over all the housework, including washing clothes and dishes, even feeding the pigs before coming to the land to help.

The land work wasn’t an easy job, so Qiao Xuan gave them a raise, making it 30 wen a day!

Qiao Xuan got a pair of scissors, and she cut away many twigs of those flowers and planted them into the earth directly. It looked quite easy.

Ms. Xu could not help but say. “Fifth Sister-in-law, I know how to plant Chinese roses. Would this make it grow properly?”

Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile. “Yes. They are just ordinary plants, and this method surely would work. The budding would happen very soon, within a few days!”

“Oh yes?” Ms. Xu was a bit suspicious but did not think that her fifth sister-in-law would lie to her.

She smiled. “Are you going to sell those flowers, but how?”

Qiao Xuan blinked and smiled. “Well, I will keep it a secret for now. You will know when the time comes. In fact, I might need your help too then!”

Ms. Xu understood that when Qiao Xuan asked for help, she always paid, so she smiled and said, “No problem, just tell me what to do and I guarantee that you will be satisfied with my work!”

Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile. “Thank you in advance, Elder Sister-in-law!”

When the fences were ready, the plants were all growing well, especially Chinese roses and ordinary roses, which grew very fast at this time of the year. Qiao Xuan used a bit of her superpower, and no one found the growth strange either.

But the volume needed was far beyond anticipation.

Qiao Xuan told the village that she was collecting Chinese roses and ordinary roses as well as some other flowers and would pay between 1 to 20 wen for one branch.

The whole village was excited.

“What is the Fifth Daughter-in-law of Shao Dakun’s family doing? Flowers don’t make money!”
