When did she save money? Why was he not aware of that?

At this point, Qiao Xuan chipped in to clear this up.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Dad, we went into the mountains a while ago, right? We found a patch of valuable medical herbs and sold them to the pharmacies in town, earning more than 50 liang, just enough for a new house!”

“What?” The Eldest Uncle’s eyes widened as he responded in surprise. “How much?”

“More than 50 liang.”

Actually, Ms. Fang had decided to spend 200 liang to build a grand) new house but she cut the number as she said it out loud. Eldest Uncle wasn’t good at

counting so he would never know the real numbers.

He was kept away from the truth not because they were afraid of the second and third section of the family. They just wanted to save unnecessary trouble so that everyone could live a happy and peaceful life.

Soon the second and third section of the family would get used to them being ignored.

Eldest Uncle was startled. “Which medical herbs are so valuable?”

Qiao Xuan replied crisply. “Gastrodia, which is required by the pharmacies and that’s why they paid us such an amount.”

Eldest Uncle said voluntarily, “So many good things in the mountains! You should describe it well so your Second Uncle and Third Uncle could also join you next time to seek it.”

Everyone felt silent.

“Okay.” Qiao Xuan said with a smile, “Gastrodia is rarely seen and we only ran into it once. When we see it next time, we will definitely bring it for them to learn from.”

Eldest Uncle opened his mouth, feeling that something was wrong. But he could not figure out clearly what was wrong. He nodded. “Okay, okay…”

Qiao Xuan really looked down at Eldest Uncle, who considered himself the head of the family. He kept taking unnecessary burdens onto his shoulders but still ended up being looked down upon by everyone.

What did he really want from his actions?

Qiao Xuan did not think that she would ever understand what he wanted in his life.

Ms. Fang said, “Just don’t tell them right now about it. The medical herbs aren’t found easily. If that was the case, they wouldn’t be so valuable. If you tell them now, they may get anxious.”

Eldest Uncle felt uncomfortable but replied with a nod.

Shao Sanlang said with a smile, “Mom, we are building a new house, aren’t

Ms. Fang looked motivated. “Of course!”

Everyone discussed how big the new house should be, how many rooms, and what kind of construction should be done.

200 liang would be plenty, but Qiao Xuan thought about adding some of her savings to the building so that the wall could be higher and best materials could be used for the decoration.

What was the point of being rich and not use her money for making something good.

This was a major event, and naturally it would not be finalized for a while. When everyone dispersed, they were still excited.

The following day, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong arrived there early in the morning.

Qiao Xuan and the others all got up early too.

Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao happened to be right on time for breakfast.

For breakfast, there was white porridge that was thick and fragrant, as well as steamed flower rolls and steamed buns.

The homemade kimchi included radish strips, cowpeas, red peppers, carrots, green lettuce which had been placed on the table. Also, there was a plate of crispy finger-sized fried fish wrapped in batter, diced radish, shiitake mushrooms, and diced chili sauce that acted as side dishes to accompany the meal.

In particular, the kimchi had a special fragrance, salty and sour, refreshing and bright in color. Just looking at it made people salivate..
