Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm - Chapter 469: 469: Tian Duo's Troubles

Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Tian Duo’s Troubles

After considering the current situation between Qiao Xiaomai and the Tong Family, Zhu Cuiying hatched a plan in her mind, “Xiaomai, don’t worry, I will definitely take back all the loose talk that I let out before!”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai chuckled a few times, “Then I shall visit Dazhu’s new house tomorrow.”

Zhu Cuiying was delighted upon hearing this, “Great!”

In any case, she was determined to develop a good relationship with Qiao Xiaomai!

Retracting words spoken before? She was ready to swallow them all back if necessary!

After seeing Zhu Cuiying off, Qiao Xiaomai began to prepare lunch.

Reflecting on Zhu Cuiying’s attitude earlier, she felt a bit emotional.

This is the power of money and influence. It could make a person slap their own face and even retract the idle talk they had previously spewed.

She must hold onto these two powerful legs of the emperor and Yang Ye firmly!

In the afternoon, Miao Dali led people to transport bricks to the slope. Qiao Xiaomai went over with her cart. By the time she returned home, the people who had come to work that day had just returned.

She took out the money and paid everyone for today’s work and also mentioned her plans to build a manor. She offered to pay anyone who was free to help out at the construction.

By building a manor at this time, on one hand, she hoped to fulfill her rural life fantasy, on the other hand, she aimed to display her wealth, to flaunt it.

To flaunt her wealth, she needed villagers who came to work to spread this news around, so that the Tong Family could hear about it as quickly as possible.

As she hoped, all the villagers were surprised to hear that she wanted to build a manor.

The blue-brick house where Qiao Xiaomai currently lived was already very good. And now she was planning to build a manor. She was really rich!

Qiao Xiaomai put on a troubled expression as she explained, “I don’t really have a choice. I have so much farmland. I can’t sell all the crops I harvest. I need a place to store them.”

“The harvest season isn’t far away. If I don’t build now, I would have to sell the sweet potatoes, soybeans, sesame, etc. once they’re harvested.”

“Isn’t selling them for cash good?” Du Qing’ai chimed in.

She happened to be there as well today.

“Of course not. I was planning to use the winter season to experiment with some new recipes. If I sell everything, I’ll have to buy from the town later. That would be troublesome,” Qiao Xiaomai explained seriously.

“Ah, that makes sense. With your cooking skills, you really should experiment more,” Du Qing’ai agreed and jokingly added, “Xiaomai, you really should do more research. You, the first wealthy girl, should help our entire village to become wealthy.”

Qiao Xiaomai’s farmland employed people every day. After the villagers finish their own chores, they could work in her fields nearby instead of going to the town. They could return home anytime if they needed, and their wages were paid daily, making them very stable.

This job was quite ideal for the villagers of Anping Village.

The more ideas Qiao Xiaomai came up with, the more people she needed for work, meaning everyone could earn their daily wages, which was pretty good.

And working for Qiao Xiaomai actually provided benefits. For instance, at present, they could enjoy delicious sour plum soup after finishing their daily work.

Such delicious sour plum soup could easily sell for two wen per bowl if it were to be sold in the market!

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai nodded with a smile, “No problem. In these few days, I plan to plant fruit trees on those three slopes. If any of you are free, you could continue working here.”

“Plant fruit trees?”

“Yes, once they bear fruit, I will sell them cheaply to you all.”

“Wow, that sounds great. I’m already craving for fruits, my mouth is watering.” Du Qing’ai laughed.

The other people also started discussing.

There were wild fruits in the mountains, but they didn’t taste good.

If Qiao Xiaomai were to sell fruits at a low price, they could buy some on their way home from work, which would be quite nice.

Previously, when she sold bean sprouts, Qiao Xiaomai had provided discounts for these workers.
