Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shao Liulang got so irritated when he heard that. “But… we had such a nice conversation last time!”
Shao Yunduan. “Still, none of them mentioned cousins at any point in time.
Did you ever hear them mention him, Dad?”
Eldest Uncle got stuck in words.
Shao Liulang turned furious. “You must have messed it up! You are just jealous of me!”
Qiao Xuan blinked her eyes, looking confused. “But Cousin, why must you befriend Young Master Xie? You have so many disciples at the college whom you can befriend, right?”
Shao Yunduan turned a smiling face at Qiao Xuan.
Shao Liulang stiffened. Why must he befriend Young Master Xie? They were Shao Yunduan’s friends and, of course, they were going to stand by Shao Yunduan’s side. He would not get anything good out of them.
He knew that. But he just did not feel convinced. He wanted to put Shao
Yunduan into shadow.
“Just wait and see!”
Shao Liulang left the place in anger. He was going to surpass Shao Yunduan in the future.
Qiao Xuan felt that Ms. Yan had already controlled the second section of the family by gathering forces with Shao Silang. Ms. Niu and Second Uncle were focused on the Yan Family, so they had not disturbed them for a while.
They would stop coming to the first section of the family when they found that the Yan Family could earn them money, and it would help them live a better life.
But the third section of the family was still a very difficult thorn to deal with.
Shao Liulang was incapable, but arrogant, thinking highly of himself. If he failed the examination every time, he would keep babbling. If he did make it through… he would not be a good officer. He would only cause trouble, for himself and others.
Qiao Xuan hoped that he would never make it to the Cultivated Talent.
Back at home, Ms. Ma felt so sorry for Shao Liulang.
She said angrily, “I know they are all bad people. They want us to have bad luck. Just don’t visit them any more. Shao Yunduan will distract you due to which you may not be able to clear your exams. You should study hard so that he can shut up one and for all!”
Shao Liulang felt even worse.
Of course, he knew that he could shut him up in this way.
But it was very difficult to pass the exam.
He had thought that it was very easy to make it to Cultivated Talent, and he even aimed at becoming an Advanced Scholar. At the time, he never cared about the title of Cultivated Talent.
But…
He was not at all confident about any of this any longer.
Days passed, and all the preparations were done. The cassavas started to bud. Qiao Xuan found the green scenery so beautiful and lovely!
When it matured in autumn and they got the flour, they could make all kinds of soft and chewy taro balls, and balls for bubble tea. They could also mix the flour with pure flour or glutinous rice flour to make various glutinous rice cakes, dim sums, etc.
Qiao Xuan spared some time to take Qi and Taotao into the town and sold the honey to Manager Qin. Then, they visited the land agent to buy the slope located next to the flower field.
The field was bought and other work should be done after the farming period was over. Then, it would be time to concentrate on cassavas.
The plants needed to be planted on the mountain, shielded from animals, so the villagers would not find that interesting.
If someone wanted to plant it next year, she would even provide free stems and teach how to plant it, as well as teach different ways to eat taros and to make it.
They could start to plant watermelons after the visit from town.
She was also going to ask Ding Erzhu and others to plant some watermelons at the Zhang Village this year..
