The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

At noon the next day, the four of them came back from closing their stall and talked about the morning's business with a tired but excited mood.

"Sister, our food businesses are doing so well, our future will be even better." Anping said contentedly.

Ru Yue noticed that several people were very satisfied with their current lives. This was indeed what she wanted to achieve, but it was not her ultimate goal, and she did not want them to be content with the status quo.

Seeing her silence, Chu Ning'an immediately understood what she was thinking. Seeing that the things had been almost packed up, he pulled a few people to sit down and rest.

"We've discussed where we're going to settle down before. We've been trying out two food businesses lately, so now's the time to finalize these things."

The two children showed a confused look in their eyes. Isn't it good now? They earn money every day, no longer lack clothes or food, and no one beats or bullies them. How wonderful it is to always be like this!

"Do you remember what I said a while ago about building a house, opening a workshop, and sending Anping and my brother-in-law to college? I'm not just talking about it, I'm going to put all of this into practice."

Ru Yue put away the smile on her face and brought up the old events in a serious manner. This made the two children who had just settled down feel a little uneasy again. They were really afraid of unexpected changes.

"Ruyue, let's finalize the house first. Only when our lives are stable can we feel at ease."

Chu Ning'an knew that the person Ru Yue really needed to discuss things with was him. After their long talk last night, they seemed to be on the same page with each other, and he should help share her worries.

"Ruyue wants to start a sauce business, so it's safer to stay home. We are too weak to protect our own business. So why not build the workshop here? Staying home will provide more security. Then we can make our home here. Anping is only eight years old and can start his education in the town's private school. I can buy books and study on my own first, so I won't interfere with family matters."

"Every day business is so busy, and then we have to build a workshop and a house. If I go to a private school, you will be even busier and more tired."

"Anping, you don't have to worry so much. We can hire someone to build the house. We can't let your studies be delayed just because we have too many things to do and too little manpower. Everything has its priorities."

Chu Ning'an stood up and walked outside the yard to look around. He turned back and looked at the small courtyard where he lived now, and seemed to have a plan in mind.

"Ru Yue wants to do business, which involves formulas, so she must use capable and trustworthy people. The best way is to go to the brokerage to buy people. With the indenture, it will be safe and secure." Chu Ning'an suddenly jumped from building a house to doing business and buying people. The three siblings didn't quite understand his idea, so he didn't keep them in suspense and explained, "Let's plan this area and buy all the land from the village head. First, hire someone to build a house, and then build a workshop. With a place to live, we can prepare manpower in advance. Before the house is built, we can still live here and do business here. It won't delay anything."

When Ru Yue heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. This was indeed the best idea. She walked out of the yard and took a look. The land was about ten acres, which was perfect for building a house and a workshop.

She didn't say anything more, and took Chu Ning'an with her, took the snacks she bought in town at noon and the fruits for making smoothies at home, and went to the headman's house.

"Is my aunt busy?" Ru Yue hurried forward and handed the things to Jiang Shi as soon as she saw her. "I came back early today and came to see you, uncle, and great uncle."

"Ruyue, why are you so reserved? Why do you bring things with you?" Jiang Shi hurriedly greeted Ruyue and Chu Ning'an when she saw them coming.

"You and uncle have always taken good care of us, so it's normal for me to respect you two elders."

"Ru Yue and Ning An are here. Come in and talk." Meng Jianshan came out of the room when he heard the voices. "Is there something you want to talk to me about now?"

"Uncle, we want to buy the land where we live. Do you think it's okay?" Chu Ning'an asked.

Meng Jianshan was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Ruyue, then subconsciously glanced at Chu Ningan, and said, "Ruyue, that piece of land is nearly ten acres. It's really not small. Do you plan to buy it all or just..."

"I'll buy them all and build a house and a yard." Ru Yue said.

"Building a house? You won't need such a large area." Meng Jianshan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, Ruyue, you should be frugal with the money your grandfather compensated you. Buying land in the village is not cheap right now. Even if I give you a discount, it won't be much. Right now, one mu of land costs one and a half taels of silver, not counting the small change. The whole thing will cost fifteen taels. If you... buy it all, firstly, you won't need that much, and secondly, buying the land and building a house will cost you another sum. Where... where are you going to get so much money?"

Seeing that he was also planning for himself, Ru Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry about the money. We've been setting up stalls in town every day and making a good income. Plus, we've also gained some money in the mountains. Don't worry, the money comes from a legitimate source."

As she spoke, she took out fifteen taels of silver and handed it to Meng Jianshan, "Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you with the land matters."

"Well, if you have made up your mind, I will do the paperwork for you and go to the county government office to get the deed for you in the next two days. Then you can start building the house as soon as possible and move out of the straw hut." It turned out that what the villagers said about Ru Yue going to the town to set up a stall to make money was true. No wonder she dared to buy so much land at once. This girl is indeed more smart than Meng Lao San and his wife!

"Your parents were well-known for their abilities in our village. If they had seen fit to move on and leave the Meng family earlier, how could... how could... ah!"

Ru Yue sighed and stopped talking to him.

"Uncle, after we bought the land, we want to build the house as soon as possible. Ruyue and I don't know much about this. Can you help us find some manpower? We'll just pay for the labor." Chu Ning'an agreed on the matter and hurriedly brought up the matter of building the house.

"The farm work is almost done, so it's easy to find people in the village. But the wages are ten cents a day per person, and they have to provide a meal. How many people do you need to find?"

"Uncle, you know the situation of my family. We really don't have a place to entertain everyone for this meal. Do you think you can count it as wages for everyone? It doesn't matter if there are more people. The sooner it is built, the sooner we can move in." Ru Yue said.

"Then I'll go to the village and find someone who's honest and willing to work for you. I estimate fifteen cents a day at most. I'll talk to them and maybe thirteen cents will be about right."

"Okay. By the way, Uncle, we don't know much about building a house, and we need to set up a stall in town. Who do you think I should put in charge of this? It wouldn't be good to have the villagers wait for me to come back from town just to buy wood or choose bricks and tiles, right?"

"Your uncle Dagui is a carpenter and has his own experience in building houses. He is also an honest man. You can trust him with the money. The wages may be a little higher than those of other villagers."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you to help us take care of everything."

Meng Jianshan did not refuse and gave some brief instructions before the two of them returned to the courtyard.
