224 No More Trouble

Actually, labor work only cost 20 wen in the market, and lunch was not provided. The workers were under strict watch all the time and had no spare moment to slow down. But even if that was the case, there were still many people who would want to work there.

Qiao Xuan could not be so particular towards her own family.

Labor work was very tiring and she needed to make sure that she paid well.

Shao Sanlang and Shao Dalang were not enough. So Qiao Xuan asked Shao Dalang to ask their cousins for help.

Qiao Xuan stressed repeatedly this time. If someone asks about this, just say that you are paid 20 wen a day, understand?

20 wen was a normal and slightly high price. 60 wen would draw too much attention from the villagers.

Qiao Xuan wanted to keep a low profile. She just did not want to be the center of the attention, in case she exposed herself easily.

She did not want Qiao Wei to do anything crazy to her again.

Shao Dalang nodded and turned to look for his cousins.

Shao Dali and his brother were so glad that they nodded immediately, swearing not to spread the truth.

60 wen a day, they had never been paid so much! They could buy more than 5 kgs of lower quality rice with just one day's payment.

Moreover, the Shao Family offered lunch as well.

Qiao Xuan, together with Shao Taotao, Shao Xiaoqi, Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni, was working on the lipsticks in the floral field.

They would look to find the fungus when they had the materials ready.

Qiao Xuan felt that her superpower had been expanded to another hundreds of meters, and it was not very difficult to find what she needed in the mountains.

There were definitely shiitakes and wooden ears, but snow fungus should be easily found as well.

Qiao Xuan asked Shao Yunduan to buy some meat for home, as well as some ducks and chicken.

It was summer time, and the meat could not be preserved for too long. They could keep the chicken and ducks alive until they felt like using them for food.

They had more than 30 chickens with different sizes, but they were used to lay eggs, and the ducks had not grown big enough yet

They almost ran out of the fish in the jar, and in the afternoon, Qiao Xuan, Shao Taotao, and Shao Dali went to catch the fish and shrimps in the river, taking a break from their heavy work.

But she paid them the salary anyway.

Feeling bored, Yang Xiaoni followed them to the riverside as well.

Qiao Xuan thought for a while and asked Liu Yan to tag along. She could help them carry the bucket or the basket.

Liu Yan was already quite tamed, yet Qiao Xuan still could not trust her, so she never allowed her to walk in the yard or the floral field.

That she was planting fruit trees, medical herbs and making lipsticks in the floral field was a secret to be kept only among the family, and was never mentioned to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan also knew that the Shao Family had some secret, or more like Second Miss who had a secret. She would have tried to dig it out in the beginning, but after all this time, she did not dare to.

She had to pretend as if she knew nothing.

Second Miss was in charge of her, and what she needed was to live in peace and spend the remaining days well so as to return to the Qiao Mansion safe and sound.

She truly did not dare to cause any more trouble.

She was wrong, so were Elder Miss, Madame Qiao and Old Master. Second Miss was not timid or cowardly. On the contrary, she was smart, bold and far more tricky than any of them could have expected.

To control her, all Second Miss needed to do was to throw her into the second section of the family and make her suffer.
