If she did not sell them, sweet osmanthus would rot after the season passed. That would be such a waste.

This money could be earned without her making much effort.

It would be such a loss not to make use of the opportunity.

Widow Sun cursed inwardly and could not sit still any more.

Eldest Uncle asked Qiao Xuan. “Ms. Qiao, why did you skip Widow Sun’s sweet osmanthus? It is not good that we ignored her home, right? People might think that we are bullying a widow!”

Before Qiao Xuan could say anything, Ms. Fang snorted. “You are just overly kind-hearted! That woman always badmouths us! We don’t need her flowers. Also, if she wants to sell her flowers, she can come to us. That is how everyone else did it.”

Qiao Xuan added with a smile. “Yeah, Dad! What if she refuses to sell it to us because of the argument she had with mom last time? That would be so embarrassing for us. If she comes to me of her own accord, I would accept them.”

Ms. Fang said with a praising tone, “Look how considerate Ms. Qiao is! If she still claims that we are bullying her after refusing to come to us first, I will definitely teach her a lesson!”

“And you too.” Ms. Fang snapped at Elder Uncle. “Stop coming up with silly ideas! What if she simply doesn’t want to sell the flowers and Ms. Qiao asks for them, it would be totally embarrassing.”

Eldest Uncle got stuck with words. He mumbled. “But we are living in the same village… ”

Then he continued no more.

He had chatted with the Land Officer earlier today who mentioned it to him. After all, Widow Sun was a woman who lived in the same village and it might not be appropriate to just skip her family.

He found the words reasonable, and thus told Qiao Xuan about it.

He did not know whether Widow Sun wanted to sell her sweet osmanthus flowers, what if that was the case?

Widow Sun waited for a long while but Qiao Xuan did not turn up, so she got really annoyed.

“They are just bullying me! Wait and see!”

After the rain, it got cooler.

The burning sensation of the sun shining on people had also disappeared. Although the sun was still bright and dazzling, the scorching temperature caused by it had obviously subsided.

The sun shone brightly, but it was not scorching.

Mid-autumn Day will arrive soon.

It was time to eat crabs.

For now, all they could do was just to think about it.

Crabs were in the river, but they were river crabs, thin and not meaty, most of which were just bones.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Xiaoqi as well as Taotao had caught some before, but the crabs were not to be steamed. They could only be cleaned, chopped and fried with ginger and scallions.

Only a small taste of crabs could be had.

There were no big crabs for sale in small places in the county town. Some wealthy families were greedy for this bite, and they all asked the housekeepers of mansions to go directly to the province to buy them.

Qiao Xuan believed that when the tea field was set up at the Zhang Village, she was definitely going to dig one pool stretching across two to three mu.

By that time, there should be all kinds of seafood, such as fish, shrimps, crabs, snails, and mussels available. Lotus root and water chestnut should also be cultivated, ready to eat at any time.

It was time for them to pay back a visit to the other side of the family as Mid-autumn Day approached.

All married women, including Qiao Xuan, needed to visit their natal homes on Mid-autumn Day and Chinese New Year’s Eve..
