"I wanted to buy some land, but the village chief said no one in the village wants to sell land, so let's wait a little longer."

Lin Shuyue and others listened carefully to Lin An's arrangements and nodded from time to time.

"Dad, let's buy a house in the county town. This way we'll have a place to stay when we come to the city, and we don't have to stay in an inn every time.

If there is a shop in a better location, you can buy it. Don’t worry about the money, I have it.”

Lin Shuyue did not carefully count the silver and money in her space, but estimated that the silver and gold added up to at least hundreds of thousands of taels, not including jewelry.

After the discussion, everyone spread out their bedding and lay down around the fire. Lin Gang's family and Erlangzi were still in their open space.

The starry sky is beautiful tonight. The twinkling stars cover the entire night sky, and there is silence all around.

At the village chief's house, Liu Meihua nudged Wang Youzhi with her arm and whispered, "Old man, how come those people who came today are so rich? There are four carts full of luggage and five horses.

Especially the Lin An family, who bought six acres of land. If they are so rich, why don't they live in the county town? Why are they running to the foot of the mountain?

By the way, don’t wild boars often come down from the foot of the mountain? Why did they choose that piece of land?”

Wang Youzhi's sleepiness was ruined by his wife's noise. She said in a bad tone, "Why do you care about others? Maybe they just like the quietness of the village."

After saying that, he thought for a moment, and said in a serious tone, "I'm warning you, you and your gossipy old sisters, don't provoke them.

The official who came today was very polite to Lin An. We can't afford to offend him. Did you hear me?"

Liu Meihua curled her lips and said, "I heard it, I heard it."

If he is really that powerful, how could he live in this village? Maybe the official took the money and did it on purpose.

After being scolded, she lost interest in talking. She closed her mouth for a moment and fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Youzhi lost his sleepiness and felt annoyed when he heard his wife snoring in his ear.

The next day, after breakfast, Lin An took the silver and drove the carriage, taking Lin Gang and Erlangzi to the county town.

Lin Shuyue took a bow and arrow and went up the mountain from behind the bamboo forest. The others were still clearing rubble and weeds on their respective homesteads.

In the early morning, white mist lingered in the mountains and forests. Lin Shuyue rode on a majestic bicycle and walked slowly.

At first she could still see traces of human footsteps, but as she went deeper into the mountain, she saw lush trees and thick bushes, and gradually she could hear the roars of wild beasts rising from the mountain.

Perhaps because no one comes to the deep mountains, Lin Shuyue found many precious medicinal herbs under the guidance of Xiao Huihui.

She dug up some medicinal herbs that were not in the space and prepared to plant them in the space.

Maybe because Wuzhou is located in the south, I didn’t see any ginseng.

However, if this is true, then the ginseng originally grown in her space should be able to be sold for a good price here.

Although she had been on the road before, she often used her mind to manage the space during her rest time.

In the space, she planted a lot of medicinal herbs in the place where vegetables were originally grown, leaving only a small piece of land to continue growing vegetables.

The crops and fruit trees were the same as before, but the watermelons planted in the back gave her a headache because they took up too much space.

She could only move the buckets and other durable items in the thatched hut outside.

Once she settles down, she will have to find an opportunity to sell some of the vegetables and fruits in the space.

The sun had already risen overhead, and Lin Shuyue headed home.

On the way back, she hunted a wild deer, as well as some pheasants and rabbits.

When they returned to the bamboo forest, Lin Shuyue rubbed Weifeng's neck and said, "Weifeng, you should stay in the forest for a few days. When our house is built, you can come home. I will come to see you when I am free."

"Sister, you have to come visit me more often. Don't leave me behind if you go far away."

The majestic wind was reluctant to leave, but it did not resist because it liked the mountains and forests.

After hesitating for a moment, Xuebao suggested staying in the forest to accompany Weifeng, as he couldn't leave his younger brother alone.

Xiao Huihui clung to Lin Shuyue's clothes tightly, fearing that he would be left in the mountains.

After saying goodbye to Weifeng and Xuebao, Lin Shuyue dragged the prey back.

When I walked out of the bamboo forest and returned to the open space, I saw that Lin An had returned.

"Little girl, come here quickly."

Lin An waved at Lin Shuyue with a cheerful look on his face. When he got closer, he took out the land deed from his pocket.

"Xiao Ya, this is our land deed. I have already changed it into a red deed. Please keep it."

Lin Shuyue took a quick look and put the deed into her sleeve, then asked Lin An, "Dad, have you hired the craftsmen?"

"Please, it's Yuan An who asked someone to help find it. I gave them all the materials. I asked someone to calculate and tomorrow is an auspicious day, suitable for breaking ground."

"But we have to pack a lunch. Runiang, let's find a few aunties from the village to help cook." Lin An didn't want to tire his wife.

After the family discussed it, Lin An took his two sons to the river to clean up the prey that Lin Shuyue brought back.

After collecting the prey, only a rabbit and a pheasant were left. The rest were put into a wooden barrel and asked Lin Shuyue to put it away to use for cooking when building the house.

Lin Shuyue used spiritual spring water to make the pheasant soup for lunch. After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, she felt very comfortable.

In the afternoon, Lin An and Li went to the village to find the village chief. When they heard that they were looking for someone to help with cooking, Wang Youzhi's wife Liu Meihua's eyes lit up.

“Lin An’s wife, why are you looking for someone else? Let me help you.

My aunt has a few older sisters who are all good at cooking. I guarantee you will be satisfied. Is this the cooking fee?"

Li looked down at the pair of hands that were tightly holding hers.

There was a black stain on the back of Liu Meihua's hand, her fingernails were a little yellow, and there was black dirt in the gaps between her fingernails.

Li's face stiffened for a moment, and then she pulled her hand out calmly.

"Auntie, how can I tire you out? I'd better find a few young wives. Cooking is hard work. I have to cook for more than 20 people. I can't tire you out, right, Uncle Village Chief?"

Wang Youzhi knew his wife's character and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Meihua, didn't you complain of back pain a few days ago? You should rest at home."

Liu Meihua thought her old man cared about her and felt very happy.

Seeing the village chief coming forward, Li felt relieved and said, "Village chief, please help me find three women who are good at work and love cleanliness.

The wage is eight cents per person per day. You just need to help cook lunch and we will buy the ingredients.

But you have to come early every morning and start work tomorrow if possible."

Wang Youzhi nodded in satisfaction. The wage for cooking a meal was eight cents, which was almost equal to the wages of a strong man in the village who worked in the village carrying goods at the dock for a whole day.

After the discussion, Lin An and his wife went back. Liu Meihua picked up a small bag of brown sugar on the table and curled her lips.

"He claims to be a rich man, but when he asks someone for a favor, he brings a bag of brown sugar over to him. He's so stingy."
