Even though there was no mention, Qiao Xuan laughed inwardly, and told Shao Yunduan that their Second Uncle and Second Aunt really liked dreaming!

Despite that they had no idea who Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong really were, they should have at least thought that people from ordinary families did not dress like that at all!

They wished to climb higher through marriage, but had they ever thought about whether the other person wanted to marry someone like their daughter?

Soon it was the day when Yuezheng Xiao’s men came to pick the watermelons.

When it was dawn, the coachman as well as two page boys arrived. Apart from Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle, everyone else was up, busy picking the watermelons.

Eldest Uncle also wanted to offer some help but Ms. Fang stopped him.

Ms. Fang said, “You don’t have to come along. There are already so many who are in the field, and it wouldn’t work if everyone went there.”

In fact, Ms. Fang just did not want him to see what was going on in the yard.

There were so many things in the yard, after all.

Although they all knew that it was Qiao Xuan’s personal property, the Eldest Uncle was never resolute especially if he saw this.

Hearing that, Eldest Uncle nodded and believed that it was true. So, he did not go over to help.

The watermelons were very large, and with so many people helping out, the watermelons filled up the wagons within one hour.

They had 200 watermelons altogether, and the total amount was 60 liang.

60 liang wasn’t that much for the first section of the Shao Fa_mily. But it was a business without cost a_nd the amount was enough to last for four or five years.

Qiao Xuan did not share the money with the rest of the family, but she offered to make a delicious dinner that night.

They cheered, especially Yang Xiaoni and Shao Sanlang, who started looking forward to the dinner already.

Even if Qiao Xuan did not offer to make dinner, the rest of the family would say nothing. They had cold, sweet and juicy watermelons every day for lunch, and that was a huge advantage for them.

Qiao Xuan gave one to the coachman and the pageboys respectively.

The coachman and page boys were so happy that they kept thanking her. Watermelons were rare, and they were going to take them home for friends and family to eat. That would surely lift up their reputation.

There were a few watermelons that were not ripe and Yuezheng Xiao would send some more men to fetch the remaining ones after a week or so. At this rate, they would come over at least three more times.

With watermelons ready in the wagon, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong decided to leave the town.

Yuezheng Xiao simply could not wait to sell the watermelons and lipsticks.

County Magistrate Qiao had been watching them all the time. His messenger did not follow them on their trip, but would pass on the information to County Magistrate Qiao the moment they arrived. Then, Strategist Lu and he would come to the door and greet them, exchanging a few words.

That really annoyed Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong.

But he was an officer of the town and they could not possibly drive him and his people away.

When they were just about to leave, County Magistrate Qiao came with Strategist Lu in a hurry, to see them off, making the two young masters feel irritated.

Yuezheng Xiao complained. “What is County Magistrate Qiao doing here?”

Xie Jingrong said calmly, “He is very anxious to return to the capital.”

Yuezheng Xiao was startled and burst out into laughter.

Hurrying back to the capital? No wonder they wanted to get on well with the Xie Family. He hoped that the Xie Family could help him to get back to the capital! But this officer with such low competence would not return with a high title. Also, he would have to wait for a few more years before being granted even a small position..
