Chapter 682: Pressing Forward Step by Step

How could Fang be afraid of her? She smiled and said, "I don't treat you as guests! We are family, right?"

Qiao Kou was so angry that her tongue was tied.

This is so shameless!

Even Nanny Ling and Aunt Du were shocked. This country woman was too difficult to deal with.

Aunt Du thought that Qiao Xuan had such a difficult mother-in-law, and that her family life might not be easy. Thinking of this, she finally felt a little relieved.

Madam Ling still remembered the purpose of her visit and didn't want to dwell on the details, so she smiled and said, "Madam is right, we are family, so there is no need to be so formal. The vegetables in the countryside are fresh, and they are good to try."

"Hey, Madam Ling is right. Sit down quickly and eat more if you like. We don't have much else in the countryside, but we have plenty of fresh vegetables!"

It was just all-you-can-eat vegetables, but Fang said it with great pride, as if it was all-you-can-eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

This made Nanny Ling couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Yang Xiaoni was not happy about being eaten for free. The food not only did not contain any meat, but also had little oil. It was particularly light and original in flavor.

This lunch was a torture for Nanny Ling and the other two, who were used to eating fish and meat.

After finally finishing lunch, Nanny Ling asked for a side room for Aunt Du and Qiao Kou to rest, while she went to talk to Fang alone.

"Madam, to be honest, our Madam asked us to come here because she was concerned about our Second Young Miss and Second Uncle. I heard that the Second Young Miss has bought a lot of land. Madam, please take me to have a look. This way, I can report to our Madam when I return."

Fang's heart sank slightly.

Of course she knew that Qiao Xuan had invested in many properties. But knowing that, it was even more impossible for her to take Nanny Ling to see them.

The flower fields are busy making lipsticks these days. Apart from the lipsticks, there are dozens of beehives. They can earn more than ten taels of silver from selling honey once. They can sell it three times a year.

Now the number of beehives has increased and it is making more money. But even this cannot be told to Ling Ma and the others.

The garden at the back must not be known to anyone. There are so many fruit trees with big and sweet fruits, as well as many medicinal herbs such as Gastrodia elata, Tremella fuciformis and shiitake mushrooms, rare tea trees, and big watermelons.

The mushroom house at the entrance of the village cannot be known to the public. It is full of Tremella fuciformis. Qiao said it is very valuable.

As for what exactly is in Zhangjia Village, Fang Shi is not completely clear, but since Master Lezheng has been asked to send a steward to help, there must be more good things.

Fang knew that a tough battle was coming.

"My fifth daughter-in-law did buy a lot of land, but it's not valuable and the yield is small. What's so good about it? Why would my wife-in-law look at it?"

Madam Ling smiled in an unfathomable way: "Madam, I am just following orders. Since you asked this, you must have your reasons. How can I, as a servant, be so nosy? Besides, this is not something that cannot be discussed, what do you think, Madam?"

Fang thought to herself, of course I can't say this! If I say this, your wife won't be jealous.

"But I don't know much about it. Qiao used her own money to buy the property. It's hers. I didn't ask much about it."

Ling Ma was more and more certain that there was something wrong here, so how could she let it go? She smiled and said, "I'm just going to take a look. Madam, you can't be the one who doesn't even know where our second young lady's property is, right?"
