After sending off Yuan Ding, Qiao Xiaomai continued to wash her clothes and bedding. After washing them, she started to cook dinner so that by the time the sun set and Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami came back, dinner was ready.
At the dinner table, Qiao Xiaomai brought up her plan, “Dad, can you go see Grandpa Tong about buying some land tomorrow?”
It was time to plant soybeans and sweet potatoes.
“Okay.” When it came to land, the wrinkles on Qiao Changshun’s face seemed to soften a bit.
“Just like we said before, buy five acres,” Qiao Xiaomai continued.
Qiao Changshun was silent for a moment before nodding slowly.
Five acres, that seemed rather too little.
But considering their actual circumstances, that was the best they could do.
After dinner, Qiao Xiaomai soaked thirty-jin of soybeans, there were too many things they needed to buy, so they needed to earn more money.
Before going to sleep, she entered her space again, poured herself half a glass of water and drank it down greedily.
When her consciousness swept past a few pots of chili plants, she raised an eyebrow and took one out.
As a food lover, chili was one of her favorites. For this reason, she put a few chili plants in her space. The fiery red chilies against the vibrant green leaves left a beautiful sight.
This time and space had no chili and only cornelian cherries. The cornelian cherries were hot, but there was always a bitter taste which she was not accustomed to.
Therefore, she must grow these chilies. This was another path for her to achieve wealth.
Making up her mind, she put the pot back, pulled out a bottle of chili sauce and a piece of toast as well. Despite having had a full dinner, the craving for chili had made her want to eat again.
The taste of bread and chilli sauce was surprisingly good.
Such a delicious chili must be grown as soon as possible so she could eat it openly!
The next day, when the rooster crowed for the first time, she and Qiao Changshun got up. They were busy for two and a half hours until all thirty jin of soybeans were processed.
Today’s tofu and bean curd were even more than yesterday’s, making Yuan Ding laugh with joy.
He also brought the fifty jin of cellophane noodles that Qiao Xiaomai had asked for. The price that Shopkeeper He had given was very cheap, only one wen per jin, so fifty jin only cost fifty wen.
After Yuan Ding left, Qiao Xiaomai put away the cellophane noodles and went to the Tong Family’s house with Qiao Changshun.
Tong Tiehu was not home as he was in the fields supervising Tong Erlang’s work. Qian Shi had taken her sewing basket and gone out to visit friends. Only Tong Sanlang was home.
Hearing the purpose of Qiao Xiaomai and Qiao Changshun’s visit, Tong
Sanlang nodded, “Okay, I will get the deed for you.”
“All?” Qiao Xiaomai asked, surprised, “Shouldn’t this kind of thing be reported to Gramps Tong?”
“I can make this decision,” said Tong Sanlang as he went into his room. Soon he came out with a piece of paper.
The surprise on Qiao Xiaomai’s little face intensified. This precious object was actually kept by Tong Sanlang?
“It’s all wasteland. Uncle Changshun, when you sold it, the price was three taels per acre, so five acres would be fifteen taels.” Tong Sanlang handed the piece of paper to Qiao Changshun, “However, there are wheat planted on the land now.
Until the wheat is harvested, you can take over.”
“That’s only right,” Qiao Changshun hastily reached out to take the thin piece of paper, his large hand trembling slightly, his eyes reddening.
To him, the land was his lifeblood.
Observing his emotional state, Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow, then turned to Tong Sanlang and asked, with clear, dewy eyes, “Tong Sanlang, if we include the wheat, how much will it cost?” freewebnov(e)l
Given how moved Qiao Changshun was, she decided to buy the wheat as well to make him happy.
Hearing her words, Tong Sanlang looked at Qiao Xiaomai’s face, his dark pupils reflected her image and reminded her, “Harvesting wheat is a lot of trouble.”
“That’s okay. I’ll hire someone when the time comes,” Qiao Xiaomai, unaware of Tong Sanlang’s implication, replied with a faint smile on her face.
She was rich..
