I was mixing cement powder carefully, thinking about whether there was anything I hadn't considered or anything I had missed. Otherwise, if I left, it would be too far away to catch up, which would be troublesome.

The weather in August was very hot and I felt a little dizzy. I felt like I had forgotten something, but I couldn't remember it at once.

Look at this piece of land surrounded by a wall, and think about how much effort it took to buy this land. At that time, I thought this piece of land was so big. Now that a few small courtyards have been renovated, it doesn't look so conspicuous.

I remember that the title deed to this land was issued by Xiu Wen at that time.

Ah! Land deed, I am so confused. No wonder I always feel like I haven't done anything. I am so confused that I forgot something important.

There have been a lot of things going on these days. I haven't seen the 100 acres of good land that the emperor gave me yet. But it's my private property! The deed is still in the box in the room. It was bought with my cement powder and my sweet potatoes. Oh my god, I was so careless!

I patted my head, not caring about getting my face covered in dust. I dropped my things and rushed into the yard.

When I passed by Uncle Mo and Uncle Wu who were drinking tea, the two old men were startled by my flustered appearance. They looked at each other. Finally, I went to the embroidery workshop, called Liu Niang, and followed me to the yard.

I didn't pay attention to their arguments. The only thing on my mind was my land deed. It was real money. It was related to my foundation as a landlady. I had to get it finalized as soon as possible.

He entered the courtyard gate like the wind, opened the door with great haste, unlocked the box smoothly, and finally pulled out the deed under the 50 taels of gold.

Before I could take a closer look, I heard someone knocking on the door. I turned my head and saw three people standing at the door.

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?" I asked them a little puzzled.

"It's not that we have something to do, we just want to ask you what's wrong? We saw you running away in a panic like crazy just now. We were all scared, so we came here to ask you." Liu Niang answered while standing at the door.

"I really have something to do. Let's go to the main hall and sit for a while." I walked out of the room with a smile, holding the deed.

Several people sat down in the living room. Liu Niang saw what I was holding and asked, "Is this the deed to the 120 acres of fertile land awarded by the emperor?"

"Yeah, I almost forgot, but I suddenly remembered it just now, so I rushed back to take a look." He said a little embarrassedly. He took the cups and poured a cup of herbal tea for each of them. He pushed it in front of them.

"Well, this is really a matter of fact. Throughout history, perhaps only you, Madam Yun, could forget the fertile land bestowed upon you by the emperor." Uncle Mo spoke slowly, holding a cup of cold tea at the side.

I was so embarrassed... How should I respond to this? No matter what I said, it didn't feel right.

"But you must accept these fertile fields. To ignore them would be disrespectful to the gifts bestowed by the Emperor."

I put the deed between a few people; "Okay, then can you help me figure out how to do this?"

"First go to the government office to change the land deed to your own. Then ask someone to take over and operate it. This place is halfway to the city. It looks like you're going to the city in advance, Madam Yun." Uncle Wu picked up the land deed in the middle of the table, took a look, and made a suggestion.

In other words, I cannot wait three days to go to the city and meet up with Jiang Chuan and the others, but must go to the government office in advance to change the land deed so that these 100 acres of fertile land will belong to me.

I was stunned for a moment. I realized that the deed was not mine yet. The hundred acres of fertile land was still in someone else's hands. This was not okay. What if someone else took away what I had worked so hard to get? I would cry my heart out.

"You can first notify the people who are going to go, and gather in the town tomorrow, and then you can take Su Chen with you. When everything is done, you can go to the city, and let Su Chen temporarily manage the 100 acres of fertile land. How about this, I will go with you tomorrow. Leave your fifth uncle in the house to look after the yard."

Seeing my bewildered look, Uncle Mo couldn't bear it any longer. Knowing that this was my first time dealing with such things, he showed mercy and was ready to lend me a hand.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Mo. When I make money, I will definitely treat you to delicious food and drinks." I promised without hesitation. Anyway, these two old men eat and drink at my place. It doesn't matter whether I say it or not!

Now that I knew what to do, I felt confident and sent someone to tell Brother He that we would set off early.

Su Chen was calculating how much work the people who built the house had done during this period of time and how much they should be paid. When I went to look for them, he had just finished writing.

When he heard me talk about this, he felt embarrassed and thought he had not fulfilled his responsibilities.

I smiled and said, "Boss, I forgot about it myself, how can I blame you? Come with me tomorrow, I will trouble you in the future."

"Okay, boss, don't worry." Su Chen replied quickly.

It was still early and cool. I figured out the land deed and immediately realized that I hadn't forgotten anything. I quickly went to make some cement mix.

I'm leaving tomorrow, so I have to hurry out today. Otherwise, the old man, the clan leader, will be worried to death if he doesn't have enough and can't use him.

They worked until dark. Finally, Da Niu and Er Niu lit a big fire and helped to prepare a lot of food. It was more than enough. Then they were sent to bed.

I quickly washed up when I got to the courtyard. I put some gold, banknotes and land deeds in a box, opened the secret compartment I had left when I was pounding concrete, and put the box in. I locked up the other things that needed to be locked up.

If you are going to be out for so long, it will be troublesome to clean up every day. Just lock the door and open it when you come back!

I climbed into bed when I heard the rooster crow outside for the first time and fell asleep immediately.
