Jiang Yue knew that they would come again next time.
It wasn’t until noon that Xue Yan, Xue Dafu, and Xue Erfu returned from the town. They had bought eight acres of good quality land, twelve silver per acre, for a total of ninety-six silver.
A hundred pieces of silver were instantly reduced to four silver.
With these plots of land, Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others felt at ease and happy.
The documents for the purchase of the land, the deed for the eight acres of land, and the remaining silver were all given to Liu Guixia.

Yesterday, even though Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, Xue Yifu, and the others had a hundred silver at home, they were all on edge. Now that they had these eight acres of land, everyone suddenly felt confident and laid back for some reason.
Especially when Xue Da looked at the title deed for the eight acres of land, tears welled up in his eyes and he choked, “That’s great, that’s great. Finally, someone from the Xue family has his own land here. It’s finally taking root.”
Ever since he had come here as a refugee, he had been renting other people’s fields for so many years. The land had also been obtained from pioneering. Although it was his own, the harvest was not good. He did not feel like he truly owned something here. This was the first time that Xue Da had such an idea since he came here.
Xue Dafu had followed Xue Da here as a refugee and knew how sad it was for his father. He naturally had the same thoughts and understood his father’s feelings. His eyes were also filled with tears.
Jiang Yue sneaked out of the central room while everyone’s attention was on the land deed. She then went to the junk area to find two wooden buckets and two water scoops to put on the wasteland in her space.
The wooden buckets at home were also made by Xue Yifu. He had made a few of them, but these two were temporarily not needed. She put them in her space, making sure that no one would notice.
......
Although the strong seedlings that she had cultivated in her space were all drought-resistant, it wasn’t as if they didn’t need to be watered.
When Jiang Yue returned to the central room, Xue Yan happened to be looking outside. Their eyes met, and then they looked away.
Without waiting for lunch, Xue Yan went back to his room and changed his white robe into a set of working clothes.
The long clothes were made by his family when he was going to school in town. These two days, when Liu Guixia had free time, she helped him make two short sets of working clothes. It was more convenient for farmers to wear shorter clothes when they needed to work.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as he came out of the room, Jiang Yue, who was already sitting on a small bench and eating lunch, noticed him, but she didn’t say anything.
It was Xue Wufu, who had just received a bowl of rice, who was making a fuss. “Xue Yan, why did you change your clothes?”
“There seem to be weeds growing in the cornfield. I want to take Jiang Yue with me to pull the weeds this afternoon,” Xue Yan said with a straight face.
Liu Guixia immediately frowned and disagreed. “You two are kids, what are you talking about? Just play at home.”
Li Hehua and the others also agreed.
“Xiao Ling, do you even know what weeds look like?” Xue Wufu laughed. Don’t pull off the corn seedlings too.”
“Although he’s been in school for three years, he still knows how to identify what a weed is. Didn’t he pick the herbs for you?” Xue Dafu laughed.
“I was just joking…”
Xue Dafu thought that this wasn’t a big deal and it was good for them to go out for a walk. He said to Liu Guixia, “Just let them go. Just treat it as if they’re going to have fun. It’s not good for them to stay at home and in the village all day. It’s good to take a walk. They can get some wind and absorb some sun. It’ll keep them more awake. Jiang Yue is still fine but look at Xue Yan’s frail body. If he does some light work, his body might gradually get better. Jiang Yue is so young, so Xue Yan should only be bringing her and make sure she doesn’t overwork herself.”
