I have been farming since I crossed over.

Lu Jintang, who was sitting nearby, stood up immediately after hearing Tang Jiahang's instructions, his eyes flashing with impatience.

Lu Jintang took a deep breath, feeling the flow of air around him, and then with a light leap, his figure soared into the air like a light bird. His Qinggong skills were skillful and exquisite, and every movement was smooth and natural, as if he was one with the wind.

In the air, Lu Jintang's body swiftly passed through the air at a speed so fast that it was dazzling. His figure was like a flash of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the distant sky.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everything became so quiet. Only the breeze rustled the leaves, witnessing Lu Jintang's departure.

Tang Jiahang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. You've worked hard. This wasteland has already been reserved."

Master Qin nodded and said, "I understand, sir." Then he bowed and turned to leave.

Tang Jiahang looked at the figure who couldn't wait to leave, thinking that he might have to go to Changshan Village one day to see what kind of girl could turn his uncle into this.

In Changshan Village, Yang Mingxi and Yang Mingyang were still at a loss when Yang Mingyu came back angrily.

Because it was already dark, the brother and sister did not light the oil lamp and sat in front of the kitchen stove. Seeing Yang Mingyu coming back angrily, Yang Mingxi stood up and said, "Third brother, we are here."

Yang Mingyu entered the kitchen and sat down on a stool in front of the stove. He said, "You don't know, someone wants to buy our wasteland, and specifically wants to buy the rice seedling field. Don't you think it's immoral?"

Yang Mingxi, standing by, was startled. Whatever she feared would come true. She quickly asked, "Third brother, how did you know? Who wants to buy it?"

"Whose family could it be? It must be the Niu family. They had an unhappy New Year, so they must be taking revenge on our family," Yang Mingyang continued.

Yang Mingxi thought about it and suddenly remembered the Niu family member who was rude to her and then kicked out by her brother. It turned out that it was because of her that they had this grudge!

Yang Mingyu looked at Yang Mingyang and said, "I think it's their family, but the village chief, Grandpa Zhang, didn't say who it was. He just said someone from the county government came to inform him that someone wanted to buy the wasteland behind our village and asked him to go and take a look tomorrow."

"That means the deal hasn't been completed yet. There's still time." Yang Mingxi said.

"I'm afraid we will have to go to the county government office tomorrow. We have the right of first refusal. If not, we can buy the one next to the wheat field first. Let's buy as many as we can." Yang Mingyang said.

"My uncles, aunts, grandparents all gathered at our house, discussing how to pool money to help us buy the wasteland first, and then make plans for the rest." Yang Mingyu said.

"How can that be possible? None of their families are rich. They need money to do things. If they lend it to our family, they won't be able to do their things." Yang Mingxi said.

Yang Mingyu continued, "That's still a small problem. The problem is that even if everyone lends us their money, it still won't be enough, right?"

Yang Mingxi looked at Yang Mingyu, who said, "Sixth and Seventh Uncles don't have any money. Those of us who went hunting together have some money, but it's only thirty taels each. The other landlords can only lend us 120 taels. Adding our own money, it should be only 240 taels, right, Xier?"

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "Yes, shouldn't that be enough?"

Yang Mingyu shook his head and said, "We estimate that there are more than 200 acres of wasteland, but in fact it is definitely more. Grandpa estimates it is about 260 acres. And you still have to bribe the people, so it should cost at least 280 taels of silver."

Yang Mingxi silently calculated in her heart, the family is still short of at least 40 taels of silver! What should she do? She couldn't help but frown, feeling anxious and helpless.

Yang Mingyang and Yang Mingyu also sat nearby, worried expressions on their faces. They knew that this amount of money would be a considerable burden for the Yang family, let alone their own family. But they had to face reality.

"We have to think of a way. Where can we borrow this money?" Yang Mingxi asked, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Why don't we go to grandma's house first and see if we can borrow some." Yang Mingyang suggested.

Yang Mingxi nodded in agreement: "Well, grandma has always loved us and will definitely help us. I just don't know how much money grandma has. However, if it's still not enough, I can go to my uncle to borrow some more."

So, the three siblings unanimously decided to go to their grandmother's house first to seek help. If they couldn't borrow enough money there, they would consider borrowing from their uncle. They knew that no matter what, they had to find a way to collect the forty taels of silver and solve the problem at hand.

After the three of them finished discussing it, Yang Mingxi sighed and said, "We've managed to finish clearing the wasteland, and there are still two gentle slopes above and below. I don't want to give it to anyone else. This way, we can fence it off and do what we want."

Yang Mingyu said, "No one will be interested in the gentle slope. When the time comes, we will open up the land ourselves. We will open up the inner part first and then buy the outer part."

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "Second brother, third brother, you don't know that there is a ready-made brick factory on the gentle slope behind our house. We can directly burn bricks. When Third Uncle comes over and figures it out, we can set it up. It's just that without a master to guide us, it may take some time. So we must buy the gentle slope behind us and can't give it to others."

Yang Mingyang said, "Go to sleep first. We'll see how things go tomorrow. Take it one step at a time and don't overthink it."

The three siblings washed up and went to get ready for bed. Lying in bed, Yang Mingxi finally had time to think about what had happened today.

Zheng Huairen was very surprised. It seemed that Lu Jintang knew him, which was why Lu Jintang said such words to him. Zheng Huairen withdrew directly. This was not like Zheng Huairen's usual style of dealing with people. It might be that Lu Jintang's identity was someone Zheng Huairen could not afford to offend. In order not to offend Lu Jintang, he ended his relationship with him.

Yang Mingxi sneered and said to herself, "Lu Jintang, thank you for letting me see Zheng Huairen clearly. A man like him is not worthy of entrusting my life to. Who knows, he might just give him away as a thing someday."

After Lu Jintang returned from the county town, he came to the thatched hut and sat down. He listened quietly to the conversation between the three brothers and sisters in the house, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

He secretly felt relieved that he had not misjudged the girl. This girl was indeed as good as he expected.

Thinking of this, he felt that he needed to help her. After all, such a good girl deserved a better life and future.

So he began to think about how to help the three brothers and sisters and get them out of their current predicament.
