211 Two Dumb People
Ms. Fang said, “It is fine, take a break at home for now and start work in a couple of days.”
She was not a strict mother-in-law who kept tormenting her daughter-in-law. She had just gotten married and Ms. Fang did not need her at the moment.
Ms. Xu feared that with Yang Xiaoni being at home, Qiao Xuan would not ask her to join them for work.
So she said with a smile, “Mom, what about asking Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law to do work in the field along with us, so we can finish our work soon enough to go work for Fifth Sister-in-law! She has a lot for us to deal with!”
Ms. Fang was startled. “Oh well…”
Qiao Xuan did have a lot of work which needed to be done. She had told Ms. Fang everything, but not everyone present was aware about it.
Qiao Xuan did not want other villagers to know about this money-earning thing, so she always hired her own family members to do the work, which Ms. Fang approved of.
Qiao Xuan did not expect that Ms. Xu would say something like this. She smiled. “Mom, Elder Sister-in-law, I am fine. We don’t have to hurry up!”
She was not in a frenzy because the business with lipsticks was a long-term thing, and she had just made the amount that was needed.
Mushroom planting could also wait for now because she needed to find some more kinds of mushrooms in the mountains.
Mushrooms and wooden-ears were easy to find because she had the superpower, which could help her see every tiny thing in that broad, wide place.
But snow fungus was rarely seen and needed to be searched with some effort.
Moreover, sometimes, luck was required as well.
As long as she found the seed, she could simply urge them to grow by the virtue of her super power.
Shao Sanlang’s eyes sparkled, and he smiled. “Mom, Elder Sister-in-law is right. Let’s get our work done as soon as possible, Xiaomi is not that weak!”
Then he turned to Yang Xiaoni and whispered. “Fifth Sister-in-law is very generous. She pays each worker 30 wen a day! We can save money to buy something good in the town!”
Yang Xiaoni’s eyes sparkled too. “Really? That’s great!”
These two dumb people thought that they were whispering, but Ms. Qiao and Ms. Fang caught their conversation clearly.
Qiao Xuan laughed but pretended not to have heard anything.
Ms. Fang ignored them furiously and glared at Shao Sanlang. “Okay, just do whatever you want!”
She was not going to force her daughter-in-law to take a break and not to work.
Shao Sanlang nodded and he left for work with his wife cheerfully.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Mom, just let Liu Yan do the work, you should take a break too, you have worked too hard these days!”
Ms. Fang stopped being annoyed and smiled. “Okay, okay, you are so considerate! Just go and take the break! I owe you big for your Third Brother’s wedding!”
Qiao Xuan felt warm in heart and smiled. “Mom, we are a family, don’t mention it! Let me make lunch and dinner. I will create something delicious!”
Ms. Fang sneered. “No need! You can make it tomorrow. Just let Ms. Xu and Ms. Yang cook tonight! Your Second Uncle and Third Uncle’s families will be here for dinner, and they don’t deserve to eat your food!”
She did not want them to start visiting them often for dinner, after they tasted her dishes.
Ms. Fang had already planned what dishes to serve tonight.
Qiao Xuan nodded in understanding.
True, as long as the two families were far away from them!
