All the windows were glazed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the Shao Family had made a fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Zhao was surprised. All glazed windows? That cost quite a lot of money. Even their own family did not have it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shao Family had not only made a fortune but had made a huge one! Otherwise poor countryside people would not have splurged like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the Shao Family would not have spent this much money in building a huge house like this, but for Qiao Xuan’s proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan was disgraced, so her dowry must not have been a lot. So, what on earth did the Shao Family do that they made a huge fortune?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That seemed weird…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you find out where the Shao Family got the money from? Any news in the town?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, this kind of thing should have been spread all over the village. Even though it might intentionally be kept as a secret, some people would have heard something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they did not want to admit a thing like this, the rumor would have originated from somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Qiuyue shook her head, forcing a guilty and bitter smile. “Sorry, I didn’t hear anything regarding this. There was no rumor in the village. Even my mother has no idea about the fields at the Zhang Village. But Old Master, don’t worry, I did not tell anyone about this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the news that the Shao Family had properties at the Zhang Village, which later became the Zhao Family’s, people would wonder how that would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was good that no one from Shapding Village knew about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhao Family could definitely get the properties in his hands and make a fortune unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Zhao nodded his head. It seemed that the Shao Family was just lucky to have made a huge fortune all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why they did not say anything but started to buy land outside their own village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the big house in the village… Old Master Zhao did not think that it was a big deal. Countryside people had never seen glazed windows, so how much that cost did not surprise them at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when they saw the Shao Family’s big house, they would not think that would be worth a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, no one would look into the house across the tall yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, you can leave now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, Old Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Zhao did not consider giving up even though he learned about\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan’s identity as County Magistrate Qiao’s daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not going to get humiliated by the Shao Family who stole the stuff that should have belonged to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just a concubine’s daughter. Officer Qiao’s wife would not defend her, so she would have no one backing her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could steal stuff from the Shao Family, and in the worst case, he could just visit the Qiao Family and give them some presents, along with a few nice words. Then all would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madame Qiao was not going to defend a concubine’s daughter, was she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, he had to be fast about the whole thing, and avoid making a scene. Otherwise it would be very difficult for Officer Qiao to stay away from the mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Zhao smiled sinisterly. He already had an idea about what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to make use of this concubine of his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spent half a day sorting through all the tea tree seedlings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, the pile was loaded up for Qi to transport to the Zhang Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, they made fish porridge, steamed white noodle buns, and cooked a pot of fish soup..\u003C\u002Fp>",659,"2026-06-03T12:00:52.591Z","2026-06-03T12:00:55.189Z",1,"novelbin.me","3618de1ef5020de99ca635f7d52bb79f793f867d54a6e77c4cd12cf77a5af74e","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-559","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-557",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
