Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Only then did Chen Liang heave a sigh of relief. He turned around and said to Madam Zhou, “Hu Liang was spoiled to this extent by his parents. Every time he did something wrong, they didn’t hit, scold, or teach him a lesson. They even protected him and doted on him like their eyeballs. Now, someone else has helped teach his son how to be a human. You guys have to remember not to raise Niu Dan to be like him.”
Madam Zhou and Madam Song nodded.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Ah Kuan said goodbye. Chen Liang expressed his apologies for delaying him.
Ah Kuan was fine with it. The unreasonable Hu family had nothing to do with Chen Liang.
As soon as he left, Chen Liang looked at Gu Yundong, who was quietly standing at the side. A smile instantly appeared on his face, and he felt much more relaxed. “Yundong, why are you here?”
“I’m here to buy land from Uncle Chen.” Yundong followed him to the central room.
Chen Liang was stunned. “Are you planning to buy farmland? How much do you want? What kind of farmland do you want?”
“I want to buy more than ten acres first. It’s best if it’s a first-rate fertile land.” She had asked around and found out that one acre of fertile land cost about ten taels of silver. Ten acres was about enough.
Chen Liang lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, “That’s not easy. You came late. Previously, there were a few acres of fertile land, but it was bought by the Wang family and the He family.”
The Wang family and the He family had fled here. Although the two families had yet to build their houses and did not plan to build them well, they found the land immediately.
Gu Yundong did not think of this at first. This was the difference between having experience and not having experience.
Chen Liang wanted to remind her, but firstly, the two families acted quickly and bought it before Gu Yundong came. Secondly, the Gu family’s situation was different. They did not have strong labor and had a few children to take care of. They probably did not have the time.
“I see.” Gu Yundong did not expect that ten acres of fertile land was not easy to buy. “Then Uncle Chen, help me take a look first. Let me know if you have any. I’ll prepare the silver first.”
“Alright, I’ll keep an eye out for you.”
Gu Yundong thanked her and went home.
However, just as she reached the front yard, she was pulled over by Madam Zhou.
Gu Yundong blinked in confusion. Madam Zhou took out a paper bag and handed it to her. “This is the dried cinnamon that your Uncle Chen bought in town yesterday. Take it back. You can cook it and eat it as snacks.”
“Auntie, what are you doing? I can’t accept this. Hurry up and take it back.” Gu Yundong was a little dumbfounded. Why did she offer her food for no reason?
However, Madam Zhou forced it into her hand. “If I give it to you, just take it. I didn’t know that brat Niu Dan had been coming to your house to freeload for the past two days. I heard that he specially went to eat meat. His mother is really something. She only told me today. Take this food back. Otherwise, Aunt will be angry.”
Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment before she finally understood.
Madam Song lowered her head slightly and smiled. She had actually told Madam Zhou on purpose today. She was a daughter-in-law. Her family could not make the decision, and the good things were not in her hands. Even if they were in her hands, she could not give them away openly.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law was sensible and knew that she could not take advantage of others for nothing. Hence, she took out the cinnamon.
Madam Song had a good impression of Gu Yundong, especially Niu Dan’s happy expression when he came back and talked about the Gu family. If Gu Yunshu had not been playing with Niu Dan, that brat would not have been willing to study. She heard that he was praised by Master because of Gu Yunshu.
Gu Yundong could not refuse her kindness. In the end, she took the cinnamon home.
As soon as she arrived at the Zeng family, she saw Madam Fang and her daughter loitering at the foot of the mountain from afar..
