53 Rich
“It is not the right season. The plants would not survive. She is just being ridiculous!”
“But she is rich and can do whatever she wants! Just leave her alone!”
“…”
They were all in a happy chat as if they were all experts in farming whilst Qiao Xuan was just a spendthrift girl who knew nothing.
Moreover, when Qiao Xuan spent 50 wen buying a very large pear tree, everyone got really excited.
They all came to the Shao Family and offered to sell their fruit trees.
Qiao Xuan told others with a smile that she would only buy the fruit trees that she liked. Hence, the neighours did not have to be so active in offering her the trees.
After all, she only needed two or three fruit trees of each kind.
The villagers did not believe her. They kept pushing the fruit trees towards her and asked her to buy some more.
“I will sell them to you at a lower price!”
“Yes, you can get more trees for your wide land.”
Qiao Xuan kept the smile on her face when she expressed what she was thinking.
She had no energy to chit chat with these people endlessly.
Ms. Fang could not stand such pushy behavior any more and drove everyone away.
But she was also a little worried and reminded Qiao Xuan. “Ms. Qiao, it is getting very hot and the fruit trees are full of leaves. I don’t think that the trees would be alive for too long.”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Don’t worry, Mom. I know what to do!”
Ms. Fang smiled. “Okay, then I will not say anything more.”
With strange people like the second and the third sections of the family existing, Ms. Fang thought that everyone else was really good. Although Ms. Xu had some plans of her own, she was still better than those from the other sections of the family. She was always very tolerant of her own family.
Qiao Xuan was using her own money to make the trouble, and she as the mother-in-law would not make any decisions for her.
The following day, Shao Yunduan intended to go to the school, so he left early in the morning.
Qiao Xuan asked Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao to clear up the weeds in the village, so that they could help to dig holes to plant fruit trees.
Qiao Xuan wanted these trees because she craved fruit. Also, the garden was good to get shelter during summer, especially for escaping from the heat, playing on the swings and doing grilled food, so fruit trees were not going to take up all the space.
The land was hard, but Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao, who were used to farmwork, did not think that it was a difficult job. They just needed to spend some more time on it.
Qiao Xuan had intended to offer some help, but she was really bad at it.
She could not even pick the shovel. She panted after a while, making Shao Taotao and her brother chuckle. They all asked her not to try it any more.
Qiao Xuan said to them embarrassedly, “I will make good food for you tonight!” Then she gave up.
Qiao Xuan planned the orchard on the far side, occupying an area of about four mu. She only planned to plant about thirty to forty trees on one mu, about a hundred trees on three mu, and another acre of grapes and watermelons, which should be enough to eat.
They could even make dried fruits and fruit jams.
She had her superpower and could ensure that the trees would grow and thrive. She even intended to give it a try in the future when the brokers would try to get some longan, lychee, mango, jackfruit and cantaloupe from the frontier from other places or even the south.
With the help of her superpower, those trees would definitely survive.
