Chapter 554: Prying

Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

Ding Qiuyue forced a smile and withdrew her hands secretly.

Only she knew what kind of life she was living.

She was just a concubine and it was not at all a good life. People who were short-sighted would say so.

Zhao Ming was dressed well and was wearing all kinds of ornaments. That was what a n.o.ble lady was actually like.

On the other hand, she only had a few pieces of jewelry, and a few sets of garments that might lift up her spirit a little.

Even Zhao Ming’s maid lived a better life than she did. Even her monthly salary was higher than hers.

But she would not dare to accept too much money given to her, otherwise Madame Zhao would punish her.

Old Master Zhao was an old man reaching almost 50 years… being a concubine for such an old man did not seem like a good life to her at all.

She had run into Old Master Zhao one day in the market and Old Master Zhao liked her instantly. Her parents approved of this marriage, what else could she do.

But that was still better than working in the farming field and not being able to get any meat to eat. She couldn’t have tolerated that kind of life.

Well, that was what she said to console herself.

She had not been home for years and the mother and the daughter kept talking with each other.

But when it came to food, she saw plain vegetables and cabbage as well as one small plate of smoked meat only for her. Ding Qiuyue felt unhappy.

She ate much better at Zhao’s mansion. There were always two dishes with one soup, each of which would contain some meat. Sometimes she could even eat more and better when Madame Zhao was in a good mood. Anything there was better than what she was being served here.

She just could not eat these things as she looked at them.

Ding Qiuyue emotionally reminded herself. She was not used to the old, bitter days after she spent so much time at the Zhao’s mansion.

She forced herself to eat half a bowl of rice and put down the chopsticks.

Moreover, she could not get used to the accommodation.

Ding Qiuyue did not want to stay over any more. She was thinking about leaving directly after finis.h.i.+ng the job…

On the day when Ding Qiuyue returned to the village, Qiao Xuan asked Taotao and Yang Xiaoni to make lipsticks with four maids, whilst she and Qi went to pull up the tea tree saplings from the garden with the remaining people. They tied them into bunches and carried them to the Zhang Village for planting.

Due to Qiao Xuan’s superpower, tea tree seedlings had grown to more than half a meter high, and were very strong. The main stem was straight, the branches were full, and the appearance was very good.

No one from the first section of the family had done this before, and since it was in the garden which hardly anyone rarely visited, no one would wonder why the tree seedlings grew so fast.

The rain stopped, and the day was still cloudy. But Qiao Xuan knew that it was not going to rain on this day, nor on the next day. But the rain might come the day after tomorrow.

So, it was the best time to plant the tree seedlings.

They started to work even before dawn.

After breakfast, they transported the first patch of tea tree seedlings to the Zhang Village.

Together with her own maids, and twenty people she had hired from the Zhang Village, they planted the tree seedling. It would take three days to finish the work.

The seedlings would not take up all the land, and should be done in half of the area.

One more time of seedling the next year, and all would be finished.

After all, she knew where the golden sprouts and lavender were in the mountain. What she needed to do was to use her superpower to make them bloom, so the fruits were naturally harvested. She and Qi had visited the mountains just a few days ago..
