86 Qiao Xuan Satisfied
He asked for a loan from other villagers, but met with the same result.
For villagers, 2 liang was not a small amount and it was very difficult to get.
Eldest Uncle was feeling very distressed. He turned to Ms. Fang. “What about asking Ms. Qiao for help…”
Ms. Fang looked at him in silence.
Then she said, “That seems to be the only way to do it right now! But let me tell you, if we borrow the money, we have to return it to her! Also, Qi and Taotao are growing up and they are going to get married too. So, we need to prepare for that as well. They are your children, you have to take them into consideration first! From this moment on, we have no money for any other sections of the family!”
“You can’t even help your own children before you help others. Be sure your children don’t blame you for that.”
“Also, Duan needs money. He is studying. If he passes the examination and goes into the capital for further examinations, it would cost more. You can’t possibly let Ms. Qiao offer the money to him, right? Otherwise, how would he stand with back straight in front of his wife!”
“Junyan is intelligent too, and in a couple of years, he will probably go to school as well. What if he makes it through? Even if he can’t pass any more examinations, it would be better to be able to read than know nothing!”
Eldest Uncle felt head aching and could not help but feel guilty and bashful. He interrupted Ms. Fang impatiently. “Alright, alright, I got it! I am, of course, going to consider my own children first. It is just… anyway, let’s just do this.”
Ms. Fang snorted and felt slightly better.
As long as her husband did not interrupt her, the second and the third sections of the family would never get even a penny from her!
As for the other wild animals… well, she could just ignore that for the time being.
.Qiao Xuan loaned them the 2 liang without any hesitation.
Elder Uncle was gratified, yet felt a bit guilty and embarrassed inwardly.
In a couple of days, the field was filled with plants and flowers that were needed.
There were large patches of wild roses and ordinary roses, small patches of pomegranates, gardenias, sweet-scented osmanthus, jasmines, lilies, cloves, and white orchids.
All the flowers were growing well, especially the wild roses and ordinary roses. They were sprouting many small buds that were yet to bloom.
The fences were all up, which were higher than 2 meters. Along the iron fence, there were wild roses, and one could not see anything from outside.
When the door was chained, no one was able to walk in.
Twenty out of thirty honeycombs were filled with bees, who kept flying in and out every day.
Qiao Xuan was very satisfied looking at the scene.
In a couple of more days, there would be 30 boxes of bees!
.One box of bees could help in extracting two or three times of honey and beeswax, which would be purified into at least 500 grams of pure honey.
Therefore, there would be more than 15 to 20 kgs of honey in one year.
That was plenty for them under the circumstances.
Mostly, they did not need so much anyway.
Before she became powerful enough, she was not going to reveal this way of making money, and the lipsticks would not be produced at a large scale either.
In order to keep everything a secret, she even had a hat on when she went to book the modes and tubes for lipsticks. She signed a non-disclosure contract with the craftmen so that the move was not revealed.
When all the boxes were done, Qiao Xuan put away the beeswax carefully and decided to sell honey in the capital.
