Chapter 99: Someone Is Scheming Against Qjao Mai Again

The cultivation manual stated, “Cultivation is important, but a powerful soul and spiritual energy are also crucial.”

When her space levels up and it’s time to grow spiritual herbs, she would buy two manuals on this topic.

Her plan is to make money, make money, and keep upgrading the space.

The rainy season has arrived. Although the shop’s business has slowed down, they can still earn a good amount of silver every day.

Qiao Mai found methods on the internet to prevent moisture from affecting her goods and learned how to keep vegetables and fruits fresh even in the summer.

In reality, she can’t store them for long. She prepares batches of fruit and vegetable snacks every three days and goes out to replenish her stock every few days. The snacks at Qiao’s Small Eatery are always in demand, so the displayed products are always fresh.

While Qiao Mai busily tends to her land, harvests, and sells goods in the space, in the territory under the jurisdiction of Tianhe Town, there’s a farmhouse in Qingzhu Village.

A group of people, young and old, are sitting in the courtyard having a meal.

An elderly man took a sip of wine and said, “I heard those two little brats were adopted and living well now?”

“Dad, they escaped too quickly. When we tried to find them during the day, they hid. We planned to sell them far away but didn’t manage to get our hands on them. It’s a pity.”

“We need to find a way to locate them. It would be best if we could get them back from their adoptive parents.”

“Dad, what do you mean?”

“Extort some money from them and say their family abducted our children.” “Dad, please don’t rush into things. Let me find out more first.”

As it turns out, this family is the grandfather and uncle of the twins. After their parents were buried, they seized their family property.

They also intended to sell the twins. When Feng’er overheard their plans, he took his younger brother and ran away.

During the day, they dared not come out, nor did they dare to stay in Tianhe Town. They hid and wandered until they encountered Qiao Mai.

Unknown to them, another group is secretly plotting against Qiao Mai.

At the end of June, Yuan Jiaqi and the children returned home. Surprisingly, Old Mister Wang did not accompany them.

Upon inquiry, Qiao Mai learned that he had given them a two-month vacation because he knew their new house was almost ready. He wanted them to help with the move and take a two-month break.

The new residence was almost complete. Qiao Mai had already purchased and moved chickens into the chicken coop. She had also relocated the quails’ dwelling with all the animals she had acquired.

Now, all that was left was the furniture, and the carpenters worked tirelessly through the night.

The gate was crafted by the Broker Center’s craftsmen and looked grand.

However, instead of “Qiao Residence,” it was inscribed with “Lucky Garden.”

Qiao Mai thought about it; if she wrote “Qiao Residence,” everyone would know about her background. So, she named it “Lucky Garden” to symbolize a fortunate and comfortable home.

In front of the main gate, an area was paved with blue stones, and on either side of the two doors, rectangular flowerbeds were planted with osmanthus trees.

To the left of the main gate was a smaller door for everyday use. The main gate would only be used for significant occasions.

The blue bricks and green tiles were clean and tidy, making people feel comfortable looking at them.

Even the three-meter-high courtyard walls, which cost an additional two thousand taels of silver due to their height, were planned according to Qiao Mai’s suggestion.

Even if someone jumped, they couldn’t easily climb over it at this height. With the large estate, even with Wu Zhui and Sai Xue guarding it, there were times when they couldn’t keep track of everything.

During this period, Shopkeeper Lu was busy preparing a dowry for Xin’er and spent little time at the store. She went out with Dong Zao every day.

Qiao Mai noticed that the mayor had approached Lu Sanniang once and had slipped her a piece of paper. She guessed it was probably a banknote to add to Ruxin’s dowry.

Seeing their relationship, there was no way the mayor would come empty-handed. As expected!

After thoroughly cleaning and moving into the new house for a month, Qiao Mai settled accounts with the Broker Center.

The estate, including the staff and the livestock she had bought, had cost eleven thousand one hundred and twenty-six taels of silver. The Broker Center rounded off the numbers, and after deducting the deposit and the intermediate payments, she paid an additional six thousand six hundred taels.

The moving day was set for August 6th. The Wang and Qian families both posted invitations.

On the first day of August, the twins celebrated a lively birthday, and on the second day, all the furniture was in place.

Qiao Mai and her family cleaned the old residence meticulously, transferring the deed to the house to Lu Sanniang,

“Sister, I’ve transferred the household registration to you. The house is still yours.”

“I’ve said it’s yours, so why be so polite with me, sister?”

“I have so many shops, but you only have these two houses and one shop. Take them. We agreed on this from the beginning.”

Lu Sanniang looked at the deed Qiao Mai had handed her and wiped her tears away.

“Sister, I only helped you find a place to live. If I hadn’t been there, you could have stood on your own.”

“There are many kind-hearted people in town, but none came to help me except for you.”

“I also have my ulterior motives.”

“I know, but I can see that your affection for me is genuine. I’m willing to treat you well for the rest of my life.”

Tears welled up in Lu Sanniang’s eyes, and she gently tapped Qiao Mai with her hand.

“You keep talking about those sentimental things, making me cry.”

“Hmm.”

“Then I’ll be going. Cry as much as you want.”

“Go to hell!”

“Haha!”

August 6th arrived. Qiao Mai, along with her family, packed up their belongings and set off with firecrackers to their new residence.

Madam Chen stood at the door, gazing at their backs with resentment. She would no longer see Yuan Jiaqi and the bustling scene.

Chen Hao had played well with Fengyun and the others. When they left, he wanted to go with them to help move some things, but he was dragged back into the yard by Madam Chen.

As a result, they had a big argument.

Shopkeeper Lu, along with her family, continued to move things into Lucky

Garden. Many people gathered outside Lucky Garden to watch the excitement.

“Sanniang, did you build this house?” “Yes, how could I move in if I hadn’t?”

“I saw Madam Qiao moving in as well.”

“She’s my adopted sister now, so it’s only natural for her to live here.”

“Oh, you’ve adopted her?”

“Yes, she’s such a capable sister. I’m proud to have her as my sister.”

“This house must have cost quite a bit of money, right?”

“Well, it cost a considerable amount, but I won’t tell you the exact figure. In any case, it was quite a hefty sum of silver. Haha!”

Finally, everyone took their respective places in the new residence.

Mayor Qian, accompanied by two guards and carrying some items, arrived at Lucky Garden. He glanced at the entrance and then smirked.

No one understood the deeper meaning here better than him. However, he couldn’t say it and didn’t want to.

As soon as he entered, two carriages stopped outside the courtyard gate. The gatekeeper quickly opened the side gate to allow the carriages to enter.

Turning back to look, Mayor Qian noticed that quite a few people had disembarked from the carriages.

He couldn’t recognize some of them, but he did recognize Wang Zongsheng and Old Mister Wang.

Seeing these two, he couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. When did the Qiao family establish a connection with the Wang family?

Without dwelling on it, he quickly put aside his thoughts and approached Old Mister Wang with a courteous bow.

“Zhongyu pays his respects to the old master and old mistress.”

Old Mister Wang cast a glance at Mayor Qian and nodded. “Oh, you must be Zhongyu. You’re here too?”

“Yes, Madam Qiao sent an invitation.”

“Well, you should be here. You’re the town mayor here, after all. This will be my student’s home, so I hope you’ll take good care of them.”

“So, you’re Yuan Jiaqi’s teacher?”

“Yes. It’s been some time, but you’ve only just found out? Your information isn’t very up-to-date. It’s a rare occasion for my granddaughter and Madam Qiao to get along so well, and I also crave her cooking. That’s why I’ve started teaching her family..”
