I have been farming since I crossed over.

The early morning sun shone through the leaves, illuminating the forest path. Yang Mingxi, dressed in light clothing, finished her morning workout after nearly an hour.

The same went for the three brothers. After being trained by Lu Jintang, they were all in high spirits, their foreheads slightly wet with sweat, but their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.

After a short rest, the four began to discuss their next itinerary - to check out the two places mentioned yesterday.

These two locations are crucial to the future development of the family. If the conditions are right, we will need to go to the county town to invite Lord Tang to measure the land so that we can make more accurate plans.

Along the way, the brothers and sisters chatted and laughed. Yang Mingxi curiously asked about the various details of their training content during the past month, and the brothers patiently answered her questions and shared their own views and ideas about the training.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at their first destination: the area around Dajue Temple. The terrain here was flat and open, the soil fertile, and not far away was the small river flowing from Changshan Village, so diverting water shouldn't be a problem. It was as if nature had reserved a treasure trove for humans.

Near Dajue Temple, although it is a gentle slope, it is relatively flat and can be cultivated into layers of dry land to grow crops.

They carefully examined every aspect of the land, assessing its suitability for planting and potential problems. After some discussion, they all agreed that the land had considerable development potential. They decided to buy everything they could and then headed towards their next location with great anticipation.

After Yang Minghu finished looking at the first place, his interest piqued. He said excitedly, "Xi'er, we'll pass by Second Sister's house later. Let's go see her! By the way, remind them to buy some land and grow rice and bitter melon with us. Then we can ask Master Tang and the others to come over and measure the land. What if we can get some benefits?"

Yang Mingxi glanced at his eldest brother and said, "Brother, you're amazing! I hadn't thought of this. This is also a very good idea! But what do you think of my second brother-in-law? How about having him come to the workshop to help with the purchasing?"

Yang Minghu was stunned for a moment and said, "That should be possible. If not, ask my brother-in-law to teach him. Look, my brother-in-law is in charge of purchasing in the commercial street, isn't he doing quite well?"

"Brother-in-law has experience. You see, he provided ingredients to the workshop before. As long as it was what we needed, no matter the quality or quantity, brother-in-law did a good job. So Lu Jintang directly asked him to go to the commercial street to do the purchasing. But, you see, isn't what he is doing now quite difficult?" Yang Mingxi said.

"Is it difficult? Maybe I only see the surface! But let my second brother-in-law work in the workshop first, it should be okay." Yang Minghu said.

"Okay, you can ask your second brother-in-law what he thinks. And then you can go to my aunt's place to see if there are any chickens and ducklings left. Let your second sister raise some too. You see, your eldest sister is doing quite well without raising any! At least she'll have something to eat during her confinement period."

The brothers and sisters unanimously decided to help their second sister's family and help them live a good life.

"How about we go to my second sister's house later? We didn't bring anything with us today. It wouldn't be good to go empty-handed!" Yang Mingyu suddenly said.

Yang Minghu and Yang Mingxi just remembered this matter. They hadn't seen their second sister for a long time, so they must bring something over.

Yang Minghu smiled and said, "It's okay. My main task today is to look at the land here. I've already looked at it. I'm going to the county to buy some things. You guys go look at the land. We'll go to my eldest sister's house for dinner later, and then come to see my second sister. In the afternoon, Ayang and Ayu will go to the county to invite Master Tang and the others. I don't think they will have time to come and measure today."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother. Here, I'll give you some silver money. Buy some more food suitable for pregnant women. We'll meet up at my sister's house later." Yang Mingxi said as he took out a 10-liang silver ingot and handed it to Yang Minghu.

"Please keep your money. I still have some on me, enough! Why do I need so much money to buy something?" Yang Minghu pushed away Yang Mingxi's hand that was handing her the money, while grabbing the money from his pocket.

Yang Minghu fished for a long time but didn't catch a single copper coin. He said awkwardly, "I was in such a hurry to get out that I forgot to bring any money. Xier, lend me your money first and I'll pay you back when I get back."

"Brother, tell me honestly, who manages the money between you and sister-in-law? Did you give all your money to sister-in-law? Did sister-in-law take the cloth I gave you to her parents' home? Since I came back and sister-in-law got married, I haven't seen you wearing new clothes. Look at second brother, you changed into two new sets of clothes as soon as you came back." Yang Mingxi grabbed the hand of Yang Minghu who was reaching out to take the silver and money, and said.

Yang Minghu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I really didn't bring any. I just came back from training and didn't bring any money with me! Also, I have a lot of clothes. Aren't these all new?"

Yang Mingxi's tears flowed uncontrollably. She wanted to curse. How could Zou treat her eldest brother like this? How could she...

Looking at the tearful Yang Mingxi, Yang Minghu felt his heart sink. There's no harm without comparison. Look at the second son, he had several new sets of clothes when he first came home, and what about himself? Two of his better sets of clothes were taken away by his wife, who said her brother had nothing to wear. In reality, it was only because Xier came back to buy the cloth, and because he was getting married, that his mother had made him three or four sets of clothes. And yet, two of those were taken away by Zou. Compared to the second son, he was truly awful.

Yang Mingxi looked at Yang Minghu, who was lost in his imagination, and walked over to hug him. Then, she placed the ten-ounce silver ingot in his pocket and said, "Brother, you still have us!"

When Yang Mingxi handed over the silver, Yang Mingyang took out two taels of silver. He was also worried that his eldest brother didn't have any silver and money and it would be inconvenient for him to buy things, so he gave his own to his eldest brother first as an emergency measure. Unexpectedly, the third sister was very quick and handed the silver to the eldest brother.

Yang Minghu took the silver and money and went to the county awkwardly. He went to buy something first.

Yang Mingyang glanced at Yang Mingxi and said, "Then Xier, let's go over there quickly, otherwise we'll be late for dinner at Big Sister's house."

Yang Mingyu looked at Yang Minghu's dejected back and said with a smile, "Second brother, what good does getting married do? I've seen you all have psychological trauma after getting married."

Yang Mingyang smiled when he heard his third brother's words and said, "I feel very happy after getting married. It's like drinking water, only you know whether it's hot or cold!"
