Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 820 - 820: Money Making

Ms. Ma let out a sigh of relief.

She noticed that her son had become increasingly irritable lately, always wearing a cold expression. She dared not provoke him or defy his words.

But she also observed that he seemed more motivated and dedicated than before.

Perhaps it was because he had been working so hard that he was too exhausted to maintain a cheerful demeanor.

She had advised him not to overwork himself and to take some time to relax. However, he ignored her and told her to stop nagging. So she refrained from saying anything further.

Her only wish was for him to achieve success as a Cultivated Talent in the future.

Visitors frequently approached the first group of families in the Shao Family, offering to sell their fields.

Only foolish individuals would reject such a lucrative deal or hesitate to sell their fields. It was an expedient way to earn money. Who would refuse such an opportunity?

Even the neighboring villagers grew curious. Some couldn’t help but feel envious that they were unable to sell their own fields.

Of course, there were exceptions.

Two families, owning a total of 30 mu, deliberated and ultimately declined to sell their fields.

They were convinced that the first group of families in the Shao Family possessed inside information that allowed them to purchase seemingly worthless fields at such a high price.

But they viewed the first group as deceitful and self-centered, unwilling to share their knowledge with others.

Determined to take a risk, they chose to retain their fields. They believed that they might soon sell them for thousands of liang, earning many times more than they could currently.

Not only did they decide not to sell their fields, but they also attempted to convince others to follow suit. They sought to form a united front and pressure the Shao Family into revealing the true value of the fields.

However, all the other families unequivocally rejected their proposition. They had no hesitation in doing so.

Those families were not in dire need of such a large sum of money, unlike the less fortunate families. To them, earning 100 or 200 liang was already a substantial amount.

As for any peculiar or supernatural aspects related to the fields, well, if they could make money from it, it would be attributed to the good fortune and talent of Shao Yunduan, the Provincial Champion.

If they were able to generate wealth from these circumstances, it would be considered their good luck and they would deserve it.

By selling their fields, they aimed to avoid succumbing to greed. 100 or 200 liang would already bring significant improvements to their families’ lives.

The villagers who couldn’t sell their fields couldn’t help but feel envious of those who did.

Why sell the fields? Only foolish people would sell.

The two “foolish” families felt irritated upon hearing those remarks.

They whispered among themselves, “Let them make their profits. But they will surely regret it!”

“Yes, something must be amiss. Let’s hold onto the fields and make our own fortune!”

The two families made up their minds to retain their fields and follow the Shao Family’s example by pursuing the same business venture.

Qiao Xuan did not pressure them to sell if they didn’t want to.

After two days, even if they changed their minds and wished to sell, she wouldn’t purchase their fields.

She wasn’t desperate for more fields, but she couldn’t go back on her word.

Qiao Xuan made the decision to acquire an additional 520 mu of land to connect with the existing ones, bringing the total to 600 mu..
