My mother was right. With so much money in her hands, she could indeed buy some land. Even if she didn't want to farm, she could rent it to others.

"Mom, I'll listen to you. Please ask Dad to help me keep an eye out for who's selling the land."

"So how much do you plan to buy?"

Shen Rong lowered her eyelids. There was nothing she couldn't tell her mother about the money in her hand, but she couldn't show off her wealth in front of outsiders.

If others knew that the Changsheng family’s savings were more than what they would have accumulated in several lifetimes, jealousy would be the least of their worries. They would just be afraid that they had ill intentions.

She secretly calculated the current price of one mu of land, which was five taels of silver. She could buy twenty mu for one hundred taels of silver. When the time came, she could tell others that she bought the land with her dowry from her parents, which would make sense.

"Then let's buy twenty acres of land!" Shen Rong said.

"So much?" Lu suddenly thought that even if Sanniang bought the land, she still had a dowry of fifty taels of silver, so she didn't say anything.

Shen Rong explained: "Mother, I have more than the dowry money you and father gave me. Last year, Changsheng and I saved someone, and they gave me this amount."

Shen Rong held up five fingers and continued, "You know about the Lantern Festival. Manager Zhang gave me another two hundred taels of silver..."

As for the matter of her selling the house to Xiao Zhuzi, she hasn't decided whether to tell it or not.

Mrs. Lu was so shocked that her mouth opened wide. She really didn't expect that her daughter would have more money in less than a year than she and the child's father had earned in most of their lives. But as a mother, she could only be happy that her daughter was rich.

"Okay, okay, you and Changsheng should live a good life. You should spend money frugally, because there is still a long time to live!

Your father and I don't need anything now, so we don't need you to buy things for me all the time."

"I know! I will spend it sparingly." Shen Rong agreed verbally, but in her heart, she was still thinking about what to buy for her mother next time.

While the mother and daughter were talking, the two sisters-in-law had prepared the food. The eldest sister-in-law even put Changsheng's food into the basket that Shen Rong brought.

Shen Rong hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and went to the fields with her sisters-in-law to deliver the food.

Today we are planting beans. Changsheng is strong and he is digging the ground with a hoe, while Shen Dongting is planting the beans in front.

"Changsheng, it's time to eat!"

When Changsheng heard Shen Rong's voice, he turned around and saw Shen Rong standing at the edge of the field with a basket. He put down his hoe and ran straight towards Shen Rong.

Seeing this, the others put down their weapons and came to the field to eat one after another.

The second sister-in-law invited everyone to eat.

Shen Rong took out Changsheng’s meal.

Changsheng didn't say anything, he just picked up the bowl and started eating.

The meal prepared by my sister-in-law was very sufficient, with meat and vegetables. There was a ceramic bowl bigger than her face filled with dry rice, and a small can of tofu and meat soup.

Changsheng was a simple-minded man who always worked very hard. After working for a whole morning, he was already hungry. He ate up all the food that Shen Rong brought.

After eating, Shen Rong cleaned up the dishes and went back.

Seeing this, Changsheng immediately followed Shen Rong.

"Changsheng, you should take a rest too. Don't worry, your sister-in-law will be fine if she goes back with me." Ma Xiuxiu couldn't help but remind Changsheng when she saw him following them.

She had heard from her father-in-law that her son-in-law Changsheng was a sincere man who worked very hard and was at least as good as two Shen Dongtings.

She also saw that everyone had just finished their meal and had finally taken a break, so she reminded Changsheng that she didn't need to walk so far to send her sister-in-law off. The two of them were going back safely!

Unfortunately, Changsheng didn't listen. He just walked silently beside Shen Rong until the two of them walked on the road back to the village. Then he stopped sending them off and just stood there watching them go back.

After delivering the meal, Shen Rong did not rush home. Instead, she took a backpack from her mother's house and went to dig herbs at the foot of the mountain on the south side of the village.

As she passed by the temple at the foot of the mountain, she couldn't help but look over there.

The temple was made of green bricks and black tiles, and its vermilion door was tightly closed, so it was impossible to tell from the outside whether there was anyone inside.

Shen Rong just took a quick look and then went into the mountain.

Ever since the temple was built at the foot of the mountain south of the village, the wolves on the mountain have long since run away.

Since last year, no one has encountered wolves in the mountains.

However, Shen Rong came out alone after all. She only planned to wander around the edge. The main purpose of coming out was to find an excuse to take out the herbs in the space.

When Shen Rong returned, her basket was filled with herbs.

A small part of them were newly picked, and most of them were grown in the space.

She collected the herbs in the afternoon and mixed in some of the herbs she had dug the night before.

Changsheng came back in the afternoon. After eating and washing up, before it got dark, Changsheng mysteriously pulled Shen Rong into the house.

When the grandparents saw this, they looked at the two little kids with a smile.

Shen Rong didn't think much about it. She knew that Changsheng pulled her into the house to sleep just because he wanted to enter the space to plant herbs.

The days passed slowly, and two days went by in a flash.

It was finally time to demold Shen Yuan's soap. This time she had invested a lot of money and bought spices to add to the soap.

When she arrived at the rouge shop in the town excitedly, the waiter told her that she could no longer buy her soap.

"Why? My soap is so useful!"

Shen Rong held a large bag of soap and felt unbelievable.

"My boss makes better pancreas than yours." After saying that, the child took out a beautiful little wooden box and opened it to show Shen Yuan.

When Shen Yuan saw this, he felt a chill in his heart.

There is no shortage of smart people these days. They restored her prescription so quickly by looking at the real thing.

Shen Yuan felt a little regretful.

If so, she would definitely make more than just a few taels of silver by selling the house directly.

Shen Yuan decided to take the soap and look for a buyer elsewhere.

But the town was so small and there was only one rouge shop, so Shen Yuan finally decided to go to the county town to sell soap.

Unfortunately, when she went out today full of confidence, she only brought a few cents for a ox cart ride, and now she is penniless.

If she wanted to go to the county, she had to go back to get the money. What's more, she couldn't go to the county to do business and come back on the same day. Besides, it was not safe for her to go out as a woman. She couldn't just leave whenever she wanted.

Shen Yuan could only go home and discuss with Gu Zhaoming when to go to the county town.

At this moment, she felt extremely regretful.

After she sold the soap a few times, someone came up with the recipe.

It seems that next time, she won't be able to sell soap anymore, and it would be better for her to sell houses.

Shen Yuan plans to persuade Gu Zhaoming to go to the county town with her to find a buyer.

"Has someone learned how to use the pancreas?" Gu Zhaoming looked at the pancreas in the basket with an unclear expression.

Shen Yuan nodded, "Well, there is no shortage of smart people these days. It's better to sell the house directly to make money faster. If you sell things, people will take the things and quickly figure out how to make them..."

The most important thing is that Shen Yuan doesn't want to make soap alone anymore.
