Ye Shian nodded: "Yes, Uncle Lizheng, we are here to talk to you about this matter."

"Just tell me where you want to go and I'll approve it for you."

Yu Xiuying smiled and continued, "We want to buy the whole area west of the house we live in now."

The village head was surprised: "What do you like?"

Ye Shian nodded: "Yes, we want to buy them all."

"I'm afraid that won't work!" The head of the village was a little embarrassed.

Ye Shian was puzzled: "Why?"

The village head pointed to a land deed on the table and said, "It was Wang Gang's family who chose that piece of land just now."

Ye Shian and Yu Xiuying were both surprised: "What a coincidence."

Ye Shian asked again: "Did he buy all of that piece?"

The head of the village shook his head: "That's not the case, but after he bought the homestead, the area has become much smaller. If you want to build a smaller one, it's still possible."

Yu Xiuying turned to look at her daughter: "What should we do then?"

Ye Shian exhaled: "Uncle Lizheng, are you willing to go with us and take a look there?"

The head of the village nodded: "That's fine."

When they got there, he pointed out the land that Wang Gang had marked out for them: "Wang Gang's house is from here, to here, and here. If you want to build it side by side with his house, there is room. If you don't mind, just build it like this."

Ye Shian stood there looking left and right. The original large piece of land, minus the land marked out by Wang Qiang, could indeed be used to build another house, but a house of this size was not what Ye Shian wanted.

Ye Shian looked around, then pointed to the wasteland behind him and said, "Uncle Lizheng, can I have that piece of land?"

The village head looked in the direction of Ye Shian's finger, and that place was exactly behind the residential land selected by Wang Gang.

"Where are you going to build a house?"

Ye Shian nodded: "Is it okay?"

The head of the village nodded: "It's not impossible."

Ye Shian waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, I'll take this whole piece."

"Are you sure? This piece of land is not small. It will cost a lot of money."

Seeing her daughter had made up her mind, Yu Xiuying firmly supported her: "Just tell me how much money you want, and we'll see if we can afford it."

The village head quickly measured the size of the wasteland and said, "According to what you said, this piece of land is more than six mu in size. This means it will cost six taels of silver. Are you sure you want it?"

Ye Shian nodded: "Yes."

The village head looked at Yu Xiuying again. He would not just listen to one child.

Yu Xiuying nodded: "My daughter said yes, so let's do it."

They drove cattle and were well dressed. The head of the village knew that they were rich, but he did not expect that they would not even blink an eye when asked for six taels of silver.

You know, the village can only save three or five taels of silver in a year.

After the matter was settled, the mother and daughter followed the village head back to his home, handed over the money in one hand and the land deed in the other, and the matter of the homestead was settled.

When Ye Shian and his mother returned, Zi Yuan was crying loudly.

Yu Xiuying quickly took the child and said, "Dear Ziyuan, mother is here, mother is here..."

She carried the child and ran to the inner room. Ye Shian followed her in and closed the door. Yinzhu, who followed behind, was locked outside.

Looking at the closed door, Yinzhu pursed her lips, turned and walked towards the stove.

After entering the inner room, Ye Shian quickly went into the space to make milk for Zi Yuan. Only when the pacifier was put into her mouth did Zi Yuan stop crying.

Looking at Ziyuan who was concentrating on breastfeeding, Yu Xiuying frowned unconsciously: "It's not a solution to keep doing this."

Ye Shian understood Yu Xiuying's concerns. Until now, outsiders only thought that Ziyuan was breastfed, including Yinzhu.

It’s okay for outsiders, but Yinzhu is always around. Even if she doesn’t notice it now, she will notice it later.

"How about I tell Yinzhu?"

Yu Xiuyingli immediately rejected Ye Shian's proposal: "No, I don't agree. That's too dangerous."

Ye Shian didn't think so: "Mom, Yinzhu is not that kind of person."

Yu Xiuying didn't dare to gamble: "I know you and her grew up together, but I will never allow you to gamble with your personal safety."

"But she lives with us, and she will find out the problem sooner or later."

Yu Xiuying was silent: "She will be 15 years old soon. It would be great if there was a man suitable for her..."

Ye Shian disagreed again: "Mom, no, we didn't save Yinzhu to let her get married. How about this, the homestead we have allocated is large anyway, so we can live farther away from her when the time comes. Isn't that better?"

This was the first time the two had disagreed in recent days.

When Ye Shian went to help Yinzhu cook, Yinzhu had already cooked the rice soup. At this moment, she was picking wild vegetables.

“Where do the wild vegetables come from?”

Yinzhu looked up at Ye Shian and smiled, "I dug it when you and your godmother went out to build a homestead. Don't you think this place is much better than our Huaishu Village? There are many wild vegetables in the fields."

"You are taking Ziyuan with you while digging wild vegetables?" Ye Shian's tone was a little displeased.

Yinzhu thought Ye Shian blamed her for not keeping an eye on Ziyuan. After all, Ziyuan was crying when they came back. She quickly defended herself.

"Although I brought Ziyuan with me, she was very well behaved. She didn't cry at all. She cried when you came just now because she was hungry. What I said was true."

"Yinzhu, that's not what I meant. I mean that I'm already very grateful for your help in taking care of Ziyuan. There's no need to go digging for wild vegetables."

Realizing that his tone was not very good, Ye Shian squatted down and looked directly at Yinzhu: "Yinzhu, don't go digging wild vegetables in the future. Our family will not eat wild vegetables in the future."

Ever since Yinzhu came with them, Ye Shian could sense Yinzhu's uneasiness. Her cautiousness was really heartbreaking.

Yin Zhu forced a smile and said, "Okay, I understand. From now on, I will focus on taking care of Zi Yuan."

Ye Shian grabbed Yinzhu's hand while she was picking vegetables and said, "Ziyuan is not your responsibility, Yinzhu, you don't have to be so cautious. You are my sister, and my mother is your godmother. We are a family now, you don't have to be like this."

Yinzhu's eyes turned red and the corners of her mouth trembled uncontrollably. When she knew that she had a chance to leave Zhang Heizi and that beastly father, she was so happy. She had never been so happy before.

But after leaving, she was so confused. What could she do as a helpless woman? She could not do anything. If it were not for Ye Shian and his mother, she might not even be able to survive.

She was worried all the way, afraid that she would become a burden to others, so she worked very hard, for fear that Ye Shian and his daughter would abandon her.

When she lived with them as Yu Xiuying's adopted daughter, she finally put her worries to rest. But she was just relieved, not completely relieved, so she had to work harder, do a lot of work, and make herself not a freeloader.

She thought Ye Shian was no longer the same Ye Shian as before, after all, she was so powerful now.

But it turns out that she is still her good friend. She understands herself, and she still understands herself that well.

"Yinzhu, you, don't cry..."

Yinzhu sniffed hard to prevent tears from falling: "I didn't cry, I just got my eyes blown by the wind. I don't have to eat wild vegetables anymore, that's great."
