n101 Nice Treatment

nQiao Xuan thought for a while and smiled. “Okay, 2 liang isn’t a high price, but Manager Qin, you pay promptly, so I will take the deal.”

n“Good, good! Miss, if you have some more, bring it to us please!”

nThe manager let out a sigh of relief and smiled, as he asked the assistant to start weighing the goods.

nTwo liang for 500 grams was not a low price, nor was it high. The manager was trying to get a bargain, because he did need to spend extra effort in dealing with the original plants.

nQiao Xuan took the deal and told him that she was aware of the market price well enough.

nManager believed that if the seller was not as smart as this young miss, he would definitely have managed to buy all the plants at 2 qian per 500 grams instead.

nThe final bill was 172 liang for 43 kgs.

nIf they give half of it to the shared savings, each of them would still get dozens of liang in the end.

nThe three of them were really pleased.

nThey bought some good food, and Qiao Xuan fetched the newly-tailored clothes, before heading back to the village happily.

nQiao Xuan asked Shao Yunduan to join them when she was handing out the money.

nShao Yunduan was startled as he said, “You went to the town? You have to tell me when you go to town next time. I need to be with you.”

nQi and Taotao could do nothing.

nIf something happened, they were not going to be of any help. They would even be frightened away!

nQiao Xuan got very happy when she heard that he cared about her safety rather than the money, so she said, “Alright, next time, I will tell you first…”

nQiao Xuan was smiling inside her heart. She was so lucky to have a husband who treated her nicely!

nShao Yunduan was really worried about her safety. He had witnessed how Madame Qiao and those from the Qiao Family treated her, so he was really angry and concerned about her. He was scared that she would run into them.

nThose annoying servants were even worse than their masters. They would always flatter the masters in all kinds of manners.

nWhat if some housekeeper, servant or annoying aunties ran into Qiao Xuan and bullied her?

nBut seeing how Qiao Xuan reacted… he suddenly became shy…

nBut he felt somehow happy too, when he saw her cheerful face.

nQiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, Shao Taotao, Shao Xiaoqi, Ms. Fang were dividing the money.

nMs. Xu did not notice the amount of money, as she was watching her children eating snacks and putting on new dresses.

nMs. Fang and Shao Yunduan were very surprised to see this much money.

nQiao Xuan took two notes, each of them was worth 50 liang, whilst the rest was 10 liang as well as some small changes.

nThey had spent some on food, such as ribs and pork belly as well as 50 kgs of rice and 15 kgs of flour.

nThose staple foods were consumed fast in a large family like theirs.

nMs. Fang patted her throbbing heart as she said in a shivering voice, “This… much money was earned because you sold that plant?”

n“Yes, Mom!” The three of them nodded with a smile.

n“Oh my!” Ms. Fang almost collapsed. “It is so much!”

n“Mom, this is just a small part. We have seen more than 20 mu of the plant. We can dig some more tomorrow. We are going to earn much more than this!”

nMs. Fang. “…”

n“Let me… digest it slowly…”

nShao Yunduan helped Ms. Fang to sit down.

n“Mom, Ms. Qiao found the plant, but I think that if she gives half of the earnings to the shared pool, it might be a bit too much. What do you think?”
