However, Ms. Xu was different from Yang Xiaoni. Yang Xiaoni was stubborn and would listen to Qiao Xuan, but not Ms. Xu.

After all, they were aware of the profitability of the lipstick business, even if they didn’t have complete knowledge. If Ms. Xu were to discover it, she might secretly inform her own family.

Qiao Xuan couldn’t take such a risk.

The two sisters-in-law decided not to disclose the information to anyone but Taotao.

Moreover, Taotao was more intelligent than both of them, so she quickly grasped the concepts and performed exceptionally well.

Most importantly, Taotao had a genuine passion for learning it herself.

When Qiao Xuan mentioned her plans to teach Taotao, the girl was thrilled to the point of almost jumping up. She couldn’t sleep the entire night due to her excitement. Once she began learning, she displayed immense energy and meticulousness.

Taotao possessed inherent intelligence that should not have gone to waste.

Qiao Xuan had no regrets about imparting this skill to her.

After all, would it be beneficial for Taotao to spend her whole life solely engaged in farming, household chores, child-rearing, and catering to men’s needs?

The couple contemplated for a while and finally informed Ms. Fang that Taotao was only 16 years old, so she was still quite young. They suggested waiting for another two years or so.

Should they continue searching within the next two years? Perhaps they would find a suitable candidate?

If, within the next two years, they couldn’t find an ideal match, they would settle for someone who met about 60% to 70% of their expectations.

Ms. Fang understood that this matter couldn’t be resolved immediately, so she sighed and had no other choice.

However, when Taotao learned about it, she blushed and secretly confided in Qiao Xuan that she didn’t want to get married so early…

Hearing this, Qiao Xuan took the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart conversation with her. She encouraged Taotao to express her thoughts about marriage to her mother. Regardless of the family in question, it was crucial for Taotao to genuinely like the potential match.

She could also explore more frequently. With business in the province, she could visit and see if there was anything she could gain from it.

However, she had to be cautious and not easily fall prey to deception. When venturing out in the provincial city, she shouldn’t go alone.

He proceeded to enlighten her about the tricks employed by swindlers and scoundrels…

Taotao felt a bit dizzy and even more embarrassed.

Nevertheless, she nodded earnestly.

Fifth Sister-in-law was correct. This was her personal matter. How could she not take it seriously? It would determine the course of her life!

Even though Qi was not present, Qiao Xuan couldn’t resist the urge to venture into the mountains. However, she felt too bashful to bring it up.

Observing this, Shao Yunduan inwardly chuckled. He intended to take her on a mountain hike, stating that it would be a way for her to relax.

Qiao Xuan was thrilled. This was the season for an abundance of bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and ripe wild fruits, making it an opportune time to gather them.

The mountains were teeming with countless wild fruits and berries, many of which lacked proper names. They were simply referred to in the local dialect, casually and nonchalantly. However, these wild fruits had delightful flavors. They were tangy and sweet, juicy and succulent, soft and sweet, or possessed a unique refreshing taste. Every ripening season, they enticed numerous children from the village to venture into the mountains for picking.

Of course, the village children usually didn’t stray too far into the mountains.

Given Qiao Xuan’s ability to cultivate anything within her space, she planned to grow some fruit trees and shrubs as well.
