However, there was a concern that Eldest Uncle might reveal the source of the money to the second and third sections of the family, which could lead to trouble.
Although Qiao Xuan was not afraid of trouble, she preferred to minimize it.
Currently, the second and third sections of the family, as well as other families in the village, knew that their family had earned a significant amount of money, but the exact amount remained a mystery. In the eyes of the villagers, it might be a few hundred liang, and the bolder ones would guess it to be over a thousand taels. They did not dare to imagine the true extent of their wealth.
If they knew that Qiao Xuan had tens of thousands of liang in income and already possessed hundreds of thousands of liang, it would surely astonish them.
Ms. Fang was taken aback by the generous red packet from Qiao Xuan and insisted, “This is too much! Both you and Yunduan need the money, and we have already started paying them for their work, so the salary is not low either. Just give them ten liang!”
Upon hearing this, Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni hesitated to accept it.
Qiao Xuan smiled and reassured them, “Mom, I know what I’m doing. The Yuezheng Family has paid me a substantial amount of money, more than enough for our expenses in the capital. Don’t worry about it! You can keep these and use them to buy more food and new clothes. We have enough money, so we should enjoy a better life!”
Laughter filled the room.
Ms. Fang smiled and said, “What are you saying? We’re so wealthy! Are you really not short on money?”
Qiao Xuan nodded, her smile unwavering. “Of course!”
Ms. Fang sighed with a smile. “Both of you are capable individuals, and I rely on you! Well, since you’re so kind, go ahead and let them accept it! But don’t make it a precedent that you won’t give it to anyone else in the future, and don’t blame anyone either.”
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni happily expressed their gratitude and accepted the red packets.
Chunyu and the others were also thrilled to receive their own red packets.
Yang Xiaoni agreed with Qiao Xuan’s suggestion, so she and Shao Sanlang brought 50 liang with them, intending to indulge in delicious food.
However, they were pleasantly surprised when Qiao Xuan gave each of them 200 liang, totaling 400 liang. Yang Xiaoni immediately planned to spend 200 liang solely on satisfying her appetite!
Since they had come this far, they wanted to enjoy a hearty meal.
The following day, to Qiao Xuan’s delight, she received a surprise from Xie Jingrong—dozens of strawberry seedlings!
Although the strawberries were still small and inexperienced, with careful nurturing, they might not grow as large as the varieties found in the modern world. Nevertheless, Qiao Xuan believed that her space power would expedite their growth and enhance their flavor.
Eager to begin, she decided to plant half of the seedlings in her space. As for the remaining ones, she would find a couple of flower pots to temporarily house them, bringing them back home to transplant into the garden.
Having spent a long time at home with Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan anticipated that with a few more superpowers, these seedlings would grow robustly. By the end of the year, some of them might be ready to cover half an acre of land.
Though Taotao didn’t know what they were, if Fifth Sister-in-law called them strawberries and saw their value, they must be something exceptional.
Qiao Xuan entrusted Taotao with the care of the seedlings.
