Chapter 361 Speechless
How come he doesn’t know when I saved the money?
At this time, it would be more convenient for Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Dad, this is what happened. Didn't we go into the mountains a while ago? We found a patch of valuable medicinal herbs and sold them to a clinic in the city. We made over fifty taels! These fifty taels are enough to build a new house!"
"What!" Uncle Shao opened his eyes wide in surprise, and took a short breath: "How much did you say?"
"More than fifty taels."
In fact, Fang planned to spend two hundred taels to build a large and magnificent house, and she deliberately said less. Uncle Shao didn't know how to count anyway, so he wouldn't know how much was missing.
I didn't hide it from him because I was afraid of the second and third wives, but because I wanted to live a quiet life. If we could avoid the commotion that could have been avoided, wouldn't it be better for everyone? We would all be happy!
After a long time, the second and third rooms will get used to it.
Uncle Shao was stunned: "What kind of medicinal material is so valuable?"
Qiao Xuan: "Gastrodia elata. The clinic happened to be short of it, so they offered a high price."
Uncle Shao couldn't help but say, "There are such good things in the mountains. What does hemp look like? Please describe it in detail so that your second uncle and third uncle can go and look for it."
Everyone was calm and speechless.
"Okay," Qiao Xuan said with a smile, "Gastrodia elata is very rare in the mountains. We have been in the mountains so many times and we have only encountered it once. Next time I see it, I will definitely bring one back for my second uncle and third uncle to identify it."
Uncle Shao opened his mouth slightly, as if he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. He could only nod: "Okay, okay."
Qiao Xuan despised Uncle Shao in her heart. He thought he was the head of the family, and he was in charge of so many things and had so many concerns. He worked hard to add burdens to himself, but got nothing good in return and was even despised by others.
I really don't know what he is trying to do.
Qiao Xuan felt that she might never understand it in her lifetime.
Fang said, "Don't tell the second and third sons yet. If Gastrodia elata is really that easy to find, it won't be that valuable! Who knows when we'll come across it next time! If you tell them now, they'll just get anxious."
Uncle Shao was thoughtful and nodded and said "hmm".
Shao Sanlang said happily: "Mom, is our new house finally built?"
Fang was inspired: "Of course."
Everyone started to discuss how big the new house should be, how many rooms it should have, and what it should look like.
Two hundred taels of silver were more than enough, but Qiao Xuan was still thinking about adding a little more when the time came. She wanted to build the wall of the yard higher, and use the best materials for the decoration of the house.
Anyway, now that I have money, I can't let myself suffer any loss.
This was a big deal, so naturally it couldn't be finalized in a short period of time. However, when everyone dispersed, they were still excited.
The next day, Xie Jingrong and Le Zhengxiao arrived early in the morning as expected.
Qiao Xuan and the others also got up early in the morning.
Xie Jingrong and the other person just made it in time for breakfast.
Breakfast includes thick white porridge, as well as soft and fragrant steamed buns and steamed bread.
Homemade pickles: radish strips, cowpeas, red peppers, carrots, green lettuce, a plate of crispy finger-sized batter-fried fish, diced radish, diced mushrooms and spicy sauce are the side dishes.
Especially the kimchi has a special aroma, salty and sour taste, and bright color. Just looking at it and smelling it will make people salivate.
