Chapter 821 - 821: Feeling of Disappointment

The land agent swiftly arrived and handled all the necessary arrangements.

Qiao Xuan wasted no time in hiring 40 workers, and the project commenced promptly.

The vast expanse of over 300 mu was a neglected wasteland, overrun with weeds, shrubs, and various trees. The first task at hand was to clear the ground. However, Qiao Xuan specifically instructed the workers not to remove the well-preserved large trees scattered throughout the area. These trees added a unique and picturesque touch to the landscape and provided much-needed shade for rest breaks when the workers grew tired.

All the land was now connected into a single plot, requiring re-segmentation. Some areas needed filling, while others needed excavation and leveling. A network of small roads needed to be crisscrossed, with accompanying ditches along the way.

It was indeed a monumental undertaking.

Fortunately, it was late autumn and early winter, and the crops from the surrounding fields had already been harvested. This spared them the task of clearing away any vegetation, allowing them to focus on working with the natural terrain.

Those who had sold their land wasted no time in using their earnings to purchase new plots of land.

The newly acquired land was situated a bit farther from the home village, but the satisfaction of having money in their pockets and new land outweighed any inconvenience.

The entire family eagerly ventured out to open up the fields, excited about the prospects it held for the coming spring. No one felt left out, as they all had a role to play in this busy endeavor.

The two families who had chosen not to sell their fields couldn’t help but feel a sense of emptiness in their hearts as they observed the Shao Family and other families enthusiastically exploring new lands.

Subconsciously, they began to harbor suspicions that the first section of the Shao Family had some ulterior motive for their fields, perhaps hoping they would come begging to sell.

Yet, Qiao Xuan remained true to her word and did not approach them with any offers or inquiries.

This surprised and somewhat irritated them.

They resorted to spreading rumors, suggesting that the Shao Family intended to make a fortune from the fields they had purchased, causing those who had bought the land to regret their decision deeply.

Whispered conversations and gossip circulated, casting negative shadows on the Shao Family’s intentions.

Some even shared these tales with Ms. Fang and Qiao Xuan.

Ms. Fang responded with a scornful sneer, paying no mind to the rumors. Qiao Xuan, on the other hand, simply smiled.

Those people truly failed to grasp her genuine concern for the well-being of the villagers. It seemed they were adept at creating false narratives and misunderstandings.

The majority of the villagers had a clear understanding of the situation. They had received their money by selling their fields to the Shao Family.

Meanwhile, the two families who had attempted to imitate the Shao Family’s business model were taken aback when they witnessed Qiao Xuan cultivating roses, Chinese roses, pomegranates, osmanthus, lemons, and other flowers, along with a small portion dedicated to cassavas.

It dawned on them that Qiao Xuan was producing ingredients for making lipsticks. This revelation left them in a state of shock because, despite their efforts, they couldn’t manage to produce lipsticks themselves.

Filled with deep regret, they implored the elderly members of their families to plead with the Shao Family to sell the fields back to them.

However, Qiao Xuan politely declined their request. She no longer required such a large amount of land for her endeavors..
