When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

After lunch, Su Xiaowan asked about Old Man Xiao’s condition and learned that he had a cold. Only then did she feel relieved and went to Su Ting’s place with Xiao Beiguo.

Su Ting had just finished washing the dishes and was surprised to see them.

"This is discharge from the hospital."

Su Ting wiped the water droplets on her apron with both hands and said, "Come in and sit down."

As they were talking, the three of them entered the house. While pouring water, Su Ting asked, "Beiguo, what do you mean? I heard from Zhiwei that you had surgery. You need to take a good rest and get well."

"I'm fine, Sister Ting. I just have some stomach problems. I need to pay attention to my diet and I'll be fine after I adjust myself."

"You, don't think Sister Ting is nagging you, and don't be too frugal and reluctant to eat. Your health is your capital."

Xiao Beiguo hummed, with an expression of being taught, "Sister Ting is right, I will pay attention to it in the future."

"That's good. You and Xiaowan are still young and need to make money. But if your health collapses, how will you live in the future?"

"Yes, I didn't pay attention to these things before, and I won't do that again in the future."

Su Xiaowan looked at Xiao Beiguo's appearance and couldn't help laughing, "Sister Ting, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him in the future."

"You really should pay more attention to Beiguo. It's inevitable that these two will have some bumps in the road, but this family can only survive if they are united in mind and effort."

Su Xiaowan smiled and agreed, "Yes, I will pay attention to it in the future. If I don't, Sister Ting will nag me like before."

"You think I'm nagging, but I won't nag anymore."

Su Ting smiled, but tears welled up in her eyes.

Raising her hand to wipe her eyes, she changed the subject, "What do you want to arrange now?"

"I do have something to talk to you about."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"We are planning to expand our planting. Do you have any land left?"

Su Xiaowan was not clear about the land distribution in the village, and Xiao Beiguo told her about the land at home.

"I only have two plots of land. The other one is used to grow vegetables. If you want to expand the scale, you have to put them together for easier management."

Su Ting thought for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Wan, if you take over this, how many years can you take it on?"

"One of the plots of land next to ours belongs to my sister-in-law. If you can lease it for a long time, I can talk to her about it. But her plot of land is only half the size of ours. Is that enough?"

Xiao Beiguo looked at Su Xiaowan, "I'm afraid this is not enough. The supply will be more in the future."

"By then we will have to consider the varieties, and more land will be needed."

Su Ting thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Apart from my sister-in-law's family, the other families are hard to talk to. If we really want to talk to someone, it's your eldest brother's family."

"Beiguo, I don't know if you remember, the one-and-a-half-acre piece of land next to my sister-in-law was reclaimed by your father. Now I see that your eldest brother has harvested peanuts but hasn't planted anything else. Why don't you talk to him about it?"

"I'm afraid he won't agree." Su Xiaowan thought of what happened in the past.

Even if money is offered, given Xiao Zhiguo's short-sighted personality, he will definitely ask for an exorbitant amount, and there is no guarantee that he will do something weird later on.

"It's hard to say." Su Ting's face was full of worry.

"I'll ask him about the rent later. If he doesn't want to pay, I'll find another way."

Xiao Beiguo considered the long-term. The land here was all reclaimed and next to the river, so irrigation was convenient.

If we look for another place, not only will it be inconvenient to manage, but irrigation will also be a big hassle, adding a lot of manpower.

"Xiao Wan, let Beiguo ask first. If we can come to an agreement, it will be better."

"I know, Sister Ting, how about we go talk to your sister-in-law first?"

Su Xiaowan felt that since she was looking for someone to rent land, it would be better to go in person to appear more sincere.

"Okay, I guess he just finished his meal."

Su Ting stood up and walked out. The two sisters-in-law were not far apart, just a few hundred meters away.

Soon they arrived. Su Ting called out, and her sister-in-law came out with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Xiaowan, come in and sit down."

Su Xiaowan called out "sister-in-law" and followed her into the house.

"Sister-in-law, I came here to tell you something."

"What's the matter, sister? Just tell me directly. If I can help, I will definitely help." Su Ting's sister-in-law said readily.

"I want to rent your land next to my greenhouse, is that okay?"

"Okay, but the land is not big. You can't grow much with this kind of crops."

"It's definitely not enough. I'll go back and see if I can negotiate with the families next door."

"Sister, how big are you going to expand your business?" Su Ting's sister-in-law was very surprised. If you buy it, it will take at least ten acres of land.

"At least three or four acres of land is needed right now, and we'll have to see how things go."

When Su Xiaowan talked about this, her brows furrowed. This land is a big deal.

"Then you are still short of more than an acre at the moment."

"Yes, let's see if my eldest brother is willing to rent the land to me."

Su Ting's sister-in-law's eyes lit up, "His family's land is quite good, more than one acre and five mu."

"Hai Jiao will come to my place later, how about I help you talk to her?"

Su Ting slapped her thigh upon hearing this and said, "Oh, how could I have forgotten this? My sister-in-law and Widow Zhang are from the same village and they usually have contact with each other. I'll ask her to ask about it later. If it works, you can talk about it later and it will be a smooth process."

"Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law. I want to rent this land for a long time. The rent is 20 yuan a year. Do you think it's okay?"

Su Xiaowan had given Su Ting ten yuan before, but she later gave her twenty yuan more.

"Okay, whatever you say, I can grow a lot on this land every year. If you can use it, the land won't be wasted."

"I'm thinking about finding some work with my family next year. It's hard to live on these crops from the fields."

Su Ting's sister-in-law sighed and said that these days, there is plenty of strength but it is hard to find work.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't mind being tired, I'm looking for someone to help me. It's 20 yuan a month. Can you do it?"

"Really?" Su Ting's sister-in-law's eyes lit up.

"It must be true. What I say will never be false. But this job is not easy. You'd better think about it carefully." Su Ting made it clear for Su Xiaowan.

"Is there any job that makes money without getting tired these days?"

"If a girl is willing to date me, it means she thinks highly of me. Why should I be disgusted by her?"

Su Ting's sister-in-law looked grateful and said, "Sister, when are you going to start working? Just let my sister-in-law and I know. I promise to do a good job for you."

"Let's start tomorrow. We need to start planting over here and turn the land over."

"Okay, then I'll go to work with my sister-in-law tomorrow morning."

After they agreed, Su Xiaowan was about to leave when Zhang Haijiao walked in with her belly bulging, and the few of them met each other.

"Xiao Wan, Bei Guo, why are you here?"
