Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 114 - 114 Rules

114 Rules

Qiao Xuan smiled and started to think. Of course they were sweet. She had used her superpower to make them so!

The three of them nodded in agreement. The fruits were really sweet!

Shao Taotao cheered. “It is rare to have such sweet barberries, let’s take them home!”

So, they filled up half of the basket with barberries.

Everyone in the family nodded and spoke highly of the sweet fruits, which they had brought home in a large quantity.

Ms. Fang asked Shao Xiaoqi to lead the way again, so Shao Dalang, Ms. Xu and Shao Sanlang could all go to carry the barberries home for drying and wine-making.

The following day, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan went into the town for meat. They inquired about the landowner. They visited the landowner and decided to buy some land from him.

Qiao Xuan did not want to buy sprodic fields. She expected to buy patches and lots of fields. She could buy good fields as well as dry fields close to the water fields too.

“I will come to the town three times a month. Remember to select the fields for me. I will pay well.”

The landowner agreed but added a caveat. “I can’t find one very fast. We have to wait.”

Qiao Xuan was aware of this too and nodded.

Honestly, no households would sell water fields easily these days, because water fields were the source of their food, water and earnings. Only those who splurged or had no other way out, would sell their water fields.

Once water fields were sold, not everyone was able to buy them.

There were rules inside.

When someone in a clan intended to sell the water fields, those from the same clan got the priority to buy them, and if those from the same clan did not want them, then the outsiders would be the next choice. Even the ‘outsiders’ were divided into different categories.

For example, if someone from the Shao Family wanted to sell fields, and no one from the Shao Family wanted to buy them, then it would be the Ding family who had the right next. If the Ding family did not want to buy them, then the other families from the village were allowed to buy them. When no one from the above-mentioned families wanted to buy them, then it would be the other villagers’ turn.

Also, Cultivated Talent and Advanced Scholar would have the rights to buy the fields first, before the remaining ones could do so.

To sum it up, it was a long queue.

Therefore, if Qiao Xuan wanted to buy good fields from other villages, then she needed to have, to put it simply, good luck.

But Qiao Xuan was not in a hurry. What she wanted to do was to wait quietly.

She wanted the fields, not for the income, but for her fundamental competence and capital.

She wanted to have control over more resources.

When this conversation was done, Qiao Xuan went to fetch some stuff from the craftsmen, such as essences and other things.

The modes and tubes for lipsticks were already made, including 12 sets of modes and 600 tubes. She paid the remaining amount and took them home, whilst booking another batch of tubes.

When she was done with shopping, the two of them returned to the village.

The moment they arrived home, Shao Taotao, who was taking care of the babies at home, told them that Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu as well as Shao Dalang went to Widow Sun’s home due to some trouble.

Startled, they hurried there.

There were many people gathered at Widow Sun’s door, which was noisy and messy. Ms. Fang’s cursing sound as well as Widow Sun’s sneer could be heard from a distance away.

Then came Widow Sun’s loud scream. “How dare you!”

The two women must have gotten into a fight.

Both of them were startled.

As the couple arrived, Widow Sun was under Ms. Fang, being beaten and crying loudly.

Ms. Xu was really surprised as she stood next to them. Widow Sun’s daughter Ding Qingqing went up to help Widow Sun, but Ms. Fang, who was really furious, started to beat the daughter as well.

The mother and daughter were in a disadvantageous position.
