Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: New Year’s Money_1 Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: New Year’s Money_1 The first day of the lunar new year, today is a clear day, sunny yet the sun hanging in the sky still seems like mere decoration, but it adds a touch of warmth compared to overcast days.

After breakfast, Qiao Dami, dressed in his brand-new little clothes, stood in front of Qiao Xiaomai and bowed to offer New Year’s greetings. After finishing, he stretched out his little hand, “My New Year’s money.”

Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and pinch his chubby cheek, “Just wait.”

As she spoke, she turned and went back into the house. Soon after, she came out with several red envelopes in her hand, “Here you go, little guy, this is for you.”

Qiao Dami took it and crisply said, “Thank you, sister! Thank you, brother!”

After he finished, he bowed his head to open the red envelope and feel the banknotes inside. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, so much!”

“When we go to town later, you can spend it as you like!” Qiao Xiaomai raised the red envelopes in her hand, quite generously.

Not only Qiao Dami had one, but Qiao Changsun, Zhuang Lühe, Qiao Zhaodi, Qiao Yindi, and even the still comatose Qiao Qinghe all received one.

Despite now bearing debts of over a billion, her generosity did not falter, giving everyone an equal hundred taels, not more, not less, very just.

Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi never imagined they would receive such substantial red envelopes. They immediately started to refuse, hand in the air, “No, no, Xiaomai, this is too much.”

“You two worked hard last year too, take it.” Qiao Xiaomai stuffed the banknotes into their hands, her attitude resolute.

“This…” The sisters looked at each other, in the end hesitantly accepting.

However, holding the banknotes in her hand, and biting her lip with her teeth, Qiao Zhaodi said hesitantly, “Xiaomai, a couple of days ago, my mother sent word asking us to go back for a visit.”

“Just right, let’s go back together.” Qiao Xiaomai didn’t mind it.

Zhaodi and Yindi were her maids, but they were also blood-related to Zhao Shufen, a mother-daughter bond that cannot simply be severed by saying so.

But the harsh truth needed to be said upfront, “If you want to support your family, I won’t stop you, but think it through. I give you a lot now, but once you two get married, I won’t give anymore. As long as it doesn’t affect the work here, I won’t interfere or lend a hand.”

Zhao Shufen was now managing thirty acres with Qiao Xiaobao, and Xiaomai could imagine how hard their life must be on a daily basis.

Zhao Shufen was a hateful person, but not a murderer, so Xiaomai agreed to let Zhaodi and Yindi support her.

But her agreement was limited, as was what she offered.

If Zhao Shufen and Qiao Xiaobao affected her, she would mercilessly kick the mother and son out.

Qiao Zhaodi knew her cousin’s temperament well and immediately said, “Don’t worry, we have a clear understanding.”

Since following Qiao Xiaomai, they had been earning a monthly salary and had saved up a bit over the half-year.

They originally planned to take out half of their savings to help their mother and brother. Now, with Xiaomai giving such a generous New Year’s money, they decided to save it and take back the several dozen taels they had saved over time.

Having spent six months by Qiao Xiaomai’s side, and witnessing firsthand her assertiveness on a daily basis, they too started to harbor ambitions.

For a woman, having abilities and silver of her own is most important.

Qiao Xiaomai had managed to send the whole Tong Family packing and even enticed Tong Sanlang, a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, to marry into the Qiao Family—a feat they did not possess. Without such abilities, they decided it was best to hold tightly onto their silver.

If they could get a hundred taels every New Year and stay for five or six, maybe seven or eight years, they could save up a lot.
