After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Shen Nanzhi was somewhat tempted, but it was different from what he thought. If there was enough land, it would be easier to sell the crops in his space for money.

This is also a good way.

“Isn’t the price too expensive?”

"No, the Jin family owns more than ten farms, with tens of thousands of acres of land. He is the largest landlord in Qinghe County. If he buys all of them, it will cost about 300,000 or 400,000 taels of silver. Because it is an auction, if there is someone in the government office, we can give him a discount of half, up to 200,000 taels. I guarantee that I can buy them all."

She could certainly come up with two hundred thousand taels of silver. This time she had taken more than fifty thousand taels of silver from Mr. Jin. Adding that to the money she had saved before, she didn't need to borrow money, but there wasn't much left.

Suddenly, Shen Nanzhi's eyes became deep: "You are not thinking about the money in my private vault, are you?"

Her property is really just this much, Shen Huai'en calculated it very accurately.

Shen Huai'en complained: "I didn't, it was a coincidence. I also prepared 50,000 taels of silver for you, so you won't be short of money."

"Where do you get so much money?"

"All the grain from those fields has been sold. There are hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain, and the price is not low. Even the villagers have sold a lot of it. Now there is a disaster and food is scarce everywhere, so I decided to sell it."

Shen Nanzhi was happy. "It's good to sell them. You have such foresight. Sweet potatoes and potatoes don't last long. Once the weather gets warm after the New Year, they will sprout and go bad. We can't eat them. There aren't many of us in the family. We can't eat that much food. It's just right to exchange it for money."

"Just don't blame me for acting on my own, girl."

"Of course not."

"Then about buying the land..."

"You decide. I'll give you all the money when I get home. I find that you are a very qualified housekeeper. Good. Keep up the good work."

All the members of the Jin family were locked in cages and escorted back to the capital, awaiting trial and sentencing by the court. The Jin family, which had been so prosperous for so many years, became prisoners in an instant.

There are quite a lot of people in the Jin family, not counting the servants. There are hundreds of masters alone, and they are all wearing thin clothes. I don’t know if they can make it to the capital. I don’t know how many of them will freeze to death on the way.

There was a flash of pity in Shen Nanzhi's eyes. Mr. Jin was committing suicide alone and brought harm to his entire family.

"You sympathize with them?"

Shen Huai'en knew that she was soft-hearted and would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing such a tragic scene, so he closed the window.

“A little bit, but they are innocent too. They should have known this day would come when they enjoyed the wealth earned by Master Jin through unscrupulous means.

The law of nature is clear, retribution will come. It’s not that there is no retribution, it’s just that the time has not come yet.”

Although Shen Nanzhi doesn't like to implicate the entire family and implicate innocent people, this is the way the world is. When the building collapses, no one can escape the disaster.

Even in modern society, the lives of those businessmen who go bankrupt and their entire families will fall from heaven to earth, and no one will sympathize with them.

Shen Huai'en was relieved to see that she understood the situation. "The girl is kind-hearted, but she is not a pushover. The matter in Qinghe County has come to an end. We should go back."

"Okay, we've been out for so long, it's time to go back."

Shen Nanzhi has been away for two months. He has met many friends and experienced many wonderful things. This winter has been very meaningful.

After saying goodbye to Xu Saifei, she did not disturb Mrs. Chen. With Xu Saifei's guidance, she would be able to stand on her own feet, and her life in the future would be better than it is now.

County Magistrate Chen is a lucky man. He was promoted directly, which is not bad. At least he is really doing things for the people.

Three days later, Shen Nanzhi left Qinghe County with Xu Saifei's reluctant farewell. The journey was exceptionally smooth. The rumors about an avalanche blocking the road were all lies. Shen Nanzhi had long experienced Shen Huai'en's dark side.

Because the ice and snow were pressed hard, the horses' hooves were wrapped with leather covers made of straw to prevent them from slipping. The carriage moved very fast and covered two hundred miles in just one day, returning to Yushu Village that night.

Without disturbing everyone, I washed up and rested.

The villagers were still alarmed. How could they not be happy that all the children came back safely?

Early the next morning, Shen Nanzhi was awakened by the sound of talking outside. He yawned, got up, and squinted for a while before getting out of bed.

Xu Li had already prepared breakfast and the hot water was warming on the stove, waiting for her to get up and bring it in. The children rushed to do this job, and every time they served Aunt Nanzhi, they were given delicious candies and snacks.

This time was no exception. Xu Li's youngest daughter grabbed the job, knocked on the door and brought hot water, then watched her wash up and waited anxiously.

Shen Nanzhi found it funny. This girl is already six years old. When she first met her, she looked like a bean sprout. After more than a year of growth, she became plump and cute, with big eyes that seemed to be able to speak. "Little Chen Jiajia, do you want some candy?"

"I will eat it if my aunt gives it to me. I am not sending hot water for candy."

Shen Nanzhi was overjoyed. Oh my, what a kid, he confessed without being asked. "If that's the case, then you can go. I won't give you any more sweet and sour fruit candies."

"what……?"

Chen Jiajia was very confused. Why didn't her aunt follow the routine?

She was so cute that Shen Nanzhi couldn't bear to tease her. She took out the candy box and handed it to her: "Go and eat with your brothers and sisters."

"Thank you, Auntie. You are the best. Even without candy, Jia Jia is happy to serve you."

"Your little mouth is so sweet, but Auntie has prepared some candy. Your little mouth will be even sweeter if you eat the candy."

"Really? Then I'll eat more."

Chen Jiajia took the box out to share with everyone, saying that the candies given by her aunt were the most delicious and could not be bought in the county.

This was made by herself in her space, using orange juice. Of course, it cannot be bought.

After sending the children away, Shen Nanzhi went to the kitchen to eat. Shen Qingshan had sent someone to call her to hear what happened outside.

Shen Desheng also talked about it, but Shen Qingshan was more willing to ask her. He didn't trust his own son, which hurt Shen Desheng a lot.

"Hello, cousin. Desheng is back. Now that you are not busy, shouldn't you arrange a marriage for him?"

Shen Desheng blushed immediately: "Cousin, I don't want to get married. I want to learn business from you and make a lot of money in the future."

"This doesn't conflict with getting married. If you have a crush on someone, you have to act quickly. Good girls don't wait for anyone. Don't be like that guy and regret it later after missing out."

Shen Desheng was moved. "Cousin, with my family's conditions, can we be worthy of her?"

When Shen Bo Niang heard this, she knew that there was a girl she liked, so she immediately asked, "Whose girl is she? What does she do? Is she pretty?"

Shen Nanzhi explained one by one, "The girl is an only child and lacks a male heir to support the family. After she gets married, she will definitely go back to her parents' home more often. Auntie, you can't criticize her for this. You should say it in advance to avoid conflicts after marriage."
