Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Chapter 192 The Yang Family’s Secret

The old lady sighed and continued, "If you give this business to them, will you charge them money?"

Zheng Xiaoman said without any hesitation, "No."

Old Mrs. Zheng patted her granddaughter’s head and said, “Silly child, I know you have good intentions, but good intentions don’t necessarily lead to good results.

You have good intentions and want to subsidize them so that their lives will be better.

But have you ever thought that they might feel that this is all too easy and take it for granted?

If they ask you for more in the future, such as the sausage recipe you want to make later, will you give it to them or not?"

Zheng Xiaoman understood what her grandmother meant. She shook her head and said, "I definitely won't give it to you."

"Yeah, then they might ask, they were able to give it before, why can't they give it now? What would you say?"

Zheng Xiaoman stuck out his tongue and said nothing.

Old Mrs. Zheng also smiled. "You are a person who values ​​family affection, grandma knows that. But your aunt and your cousin, that is not your responsibility.

Just leave this business to grandma. You don’t have to worry about any difficulties they encounter in the future. You have grandpa and grandma here.

When I am no longer around, I will give them the money I have."

Zheng Xiaoman leaned her head on her grandmother's shoulder, "I understand, grandmother, but you don't have to be too tired."

Old Mrs. Zheng laughed and said, "Okay, grandma won't tire herself out."

Although the old lady said so, Zheng Xiaoman had made up her mind. She decided to buy two maids for her grandmother to help her with the work.

On the third day of junior high school, Zheng Xiaoman and Chun Ya followed their parents to their grandmother's house.

Zheng Qingming and Lixia had originally planned to go, but their mother didn't let them go.

"You two should stay at home and study hard. You can go to grandma's house after the exam."

Lixia sighed. His life was really difficult. Now he couldn’t even leave the house.

Time soon arrived on the sixth day of the New Year, Mr. Fang came back from outside, and classes began again in the school.

Recently, people in the village dare not make too much noise when passing by the school, for fear of disturbing the students inside.

After the Chinese New Year, Zheng Dashan went to ask the farmers south of the village if there were any that wanted to sell.

Unexpectedly, his luck was so good. It happened that the owner of a farm was moving his family, so he planned to sell all the farms here.

After receiving the news, Zheng Dashan went to find the owner of the manor.

But this farm is not big, with only about two hundred acres of land.

But compared to the scattered lands in the village, these two hundred acres are at least connected, making it easier to look after them later.

The other party was also in a hurry to leave. He only asked for six taels of silver for one acre of land, and he didn't want the extra one or two acres.

Zheng Dashan took out 1,200 taels of silver and gave it to the other party. The two parties signed a deed and went to the government office to transfer the land title.

After purchasing the 200 acres of fertile farmland, he bought another 100 acres of mountain land.

Now the hill behind their house has almost been bought by their family.

After buying the land, the next step is to buy people.

Buying people is a difficult task for Zheng Dashan, as he has never done this kind of job before.

Besides, their yard is so small that even if someone comes back to live in it, there is no room for them to live there.

So before buying someone, they had to rebuild the house.

If we want to build a house, we can’t do it now. We have to wait until our two sons finish their exams.

Although the house cannot be built now, everything needed to build the house can be prepared in advance.

When Zheng Xiaoman heard that her family was going to build a house, she immediately asked her to draw the blueprints of the house.

Although Zheng Dashan and Zhou Chunfeng didn't know what a blueprint was, they let her do it.

Zheng Xiaoman excitedly took a pen and paper and began to think about what their house would look like.

Since she was going to build it, she might as well do it all at once, so she planned to build a courtyard with three entrances.

When my brother and Lixia get married in the future, they will both have a place to live.

When grandparents get older, they will be brought over to live with them.

Also, if we want to buy someone else in the house later, we need a place to live.

Zheng Xiaoman drew the blueprint based on the layout of a courtyard house she had seen before, with some slight modifications.

There are separate bathrooms and toilets inside. In addition to the front yard, there is one in the two back yards.

She spent two days scribbling on paper before she finally drew a drawing that satisfied her.

Their family was preparing to build a house, and the Yang family next door was also discussing important matters.

Li Cuixia looked at her husband and said, "Dad, the Zheng family is going to rebuild their house, and they recently bought several hundred acres of land. Life is getting better and better.

I was thinking, should we buy some more land and rebuild the house?"

Yang Changqing sat cross-legged on the kang, and after thinking for a while, he said, "We have to buy land, and the dozens of acres of land we have now are definitely not enough.

As for building a house, let's wait a little longer. I think we should build it before Shuhuai gets married.

But let's buy the dozen acres of land around our house first, so that no one else can buy land and build houses here in the future."

Seeing that the Zheng family's life was getting better and better, some people in the village were already spreading the word that this place had good feng shui.

Otherwise, if Zheng Laoer's family comes over, their lives will get better and better.

Yang Changqing scoffed at these words, as they did not see others working hard.

But even though he doesn't believe it, he can't stop others from believing it.

In order to prevent someone from really believing in Feng Shui and coming here to buy land and build houses, he decided to buy all the land next to the Zheng family in advance.

Li Cuixia also felt that what her husband said made sense. "Okay, I'll give you the money tomorrow, and you can go buy the surrounding land first."

She thought for a moment and said, "His father, tell me, the gap between our family and the Zheng family is getting bigger and bigger. Can their family still be interested in our Shu Huai?"

Yang Changqing said with a smile: "Don't worry about that. No one in my second brother's family is like that. And I have confidence in my son. He will definitely pass the imperial examination and come back with a good reputation."

Li Cuixia was relieved at this. "By the way, we don't have much cash at home. Go to the cellar and get some more."

"Well, I'll go get it later."

No one knows that their family actually has a secret, that is, they have a large sum of silver hidden in the house.

This silver was picked up by her eldest son in the mountains, two full boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

At that time, the Zheng family had not moved here yet, and her eldest son would go into the mountains to hunt every day.

It was also from that time that life at home gradually became better.

Until one day, his son did not come back very late, and the couple were worried that the child might have encountered danger in the mountains.

When they went into the mountains to look for someone, they saw their son coming back dragging a box.

When the couple returned home and opened the box, they saw that it was filled with all kinds of jewellery. Li Cuixia was almost blinded by the sight.

The son said there was another box like this in the mountains, and his husband followed him and moved the other box back.

This box was filled with gold and silver, and when it was finally counted, it turned out to be tens of thousands of taels.

The whole family was terrified and didn't know who put these things in the mountains.

There is not even any mark on the silver, so it is obviously not official silver.
