Zhou Lingling would not directly tell Xiao Yan about her abilities.

But whether it was the high-yield grain whose origin was unknown, or the disappearance of Xie Mansion's warehouse, she did not hide it from the other party.

Zhou Lingling thought about the possible consequences.

Either the other party coveted her abilities and used threats or bribes to force her to hand it over.

Or they were in awe of her abilities and reached a cooperation.

Based on her understanding of Xiao Yan, it would definitely not be the first one.

As for whether it is the second one, let’s wait and see!

The second crop of potatoes has been planted in the space. There are still more than 2,000 kilograms of potatoes in her space, enough to plant ten acres of land, so there is no need to wait for the potatoes in Zhoujia Village to be harvested.

The Xie family has gone bankrupt, and I heard that Young Master Xie is selling off his property.

Zhou Lingling was very curious. Since she had taken away all the house deeds and land deeds of the Xie family, how could the Xie family trade with others?

How to trade?

Zhou Lingling found out soon.

That afternoon, Xiao Yan gave her a freshly minted land deed.

"This is the Xie family's farm opposite the academy."

Zhou Lingling took a look and saw that the ink on the land deed was still freshly made.

As if he knew what she was thinking, Xiao Yan said:

"Generally speaking, land contracts are handled by the government, so there are naturally certificates. If they are lost, you can go to the government office to find the documents and check the official records, and then you can reissue them."

Zhou Lingling suddenly understood.

No wonder after I took away the Zhou family’s land deed, the other party continued to cultivate their own land as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Lingling didn't hesitate and directly accepted the deed to the farm.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao. I'll have Uncle Tie and the others go over to check on the situation at the manor this afternoon."

Xiao Yan did not deny it: "The others from Northern Xinjiang will be here in a few days."

"These people have come here in a scattered manner, about a hundred in number. We will all be assigned to the farm. Tie Yuan, Sang Lin and the others, you will select some to go to the farm to control those people, and you can stay in the town with the rest."

Tie Yuan and Sang Lin have gradually become familiar with the Zhou family, and Xiao Yan is also relieved.

Zhou Lingling curled the corners of her mouth and suddenly remembered something.

"Uncle Tie! Uncle Tie!"

Tie Yuan came in from the yard, "Ling girl, what's the matter?"

Zhou Lingling: "Did the others go to the dock to work again today?"

Tie Yuan was stunned and looked at Xiao Yan embarrassedly. When he found that the latter suddenly frowned, he almost knelt down.

He stammered, "Yes... everyone thought about closing the store for the next two days, so..." and went back to work at the dock.

Zhou Lingling sighed helplessly.

"Okay, it's my fault for not making arrangements with my uncles."

As soon as she said this, Tie Yuan became anxious on the spot.

"No, no, no, how can this be your problem!"

"Girl, you've been very good to us uncles. You've got food and clothes. We just can't sit still, so we want to find something to do..."

They are still young!

A dozen tall and strong men are being supported by a little girl until they grow old. What a shame!

Han You and the others are on the other hand; they have work to do, but they can only sit idle.

Zhou Lingling laughed, shook her head and said, "Okay, Uncle Tie, I know you all don't want to be idle, so you should work for me from now on."

"The Xie family has a farm opposite Mingzhao Academy. We've taken it over. Uncle Tie, take two people with you to check out the situation. Find out how many people are living there, how much arable land there is, and whether there are any other problems."

When Tie Yuan heard that he could work, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

He promised to dig out all eight generations of ancestors of this manor for Ling Yatou!

In the village, Zhou Lingling planned to plant the remaining potatoes in the space, and also to grow sweet potato vines. She had to go to the fields to do it, and teach the people in the northern border by the way.

Zhou Lingling was even happier after getting the land deed.

"Dad, the weather is getting cold. Go back to the village tomorrow and give Uncle Han and the others two sets of thicker clothes. Then you can go check on the potatoes."

Zhou Laoer readily agreed.

Zhou Lingling rolled her eyes and said, "Dad, what do you think about us buying a carriage?"

"In the future, we will not only have to travel back and forth to the village, but also to the farm. We will definitely need to buy another car for convenience. We already have two ox carts at home, so why not buy a horse?"

Which man doesn’t like a tall and handsome horse?

What made Zhou Laoer hesitate was: "Buy a horse? Horses are more expensive than cows. We have been running the shop for so long, but we still haven't made back our investment, my daughter!"

Zhouji's business was booming, and Daqin made two trips to the dock every day, so even after deducting the costs, he could still make a few taels of silver every day.

With more than one hundred taels of silver a month, Zhou Laoer and Chen finally felt relieved, believing that the money their daughter had paid would be compensated by the Chinese New Year this year.

But one horse can buy three or four cows, which costs dozens of taels of silver. Will my wife agree?

Zhou Laoer underestimated how much his wife doted on their daughter. It can be said that as long as Zhou Lingling wanted something, even if she could pick the stars in the sky, Chen would pick one for her daughter.

The two sons are the grandsons of the Zhou family after all, so the old lady would just scold them a few times on weekdays. But when they got older, the two boys would just run to the back mountain and go out to collect firewood without coming home for most of the day.

But Lingling is different. She has been quiet since she was a child, and the old lady doesn't like her and her mother. It can be said that Zhou Laoer is physically tired from work, but both mother and daughter are exhausted both physically and mentally.

Lingling started working at the age of four, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning the room, and feeding chickens and pigs. She did no less work than the older girls, yet she was either scolded or pinched every day.

So now that she sees her daughter becoming more and more sensible, Chen is so happy.

If the old woman knew that the little granddaughter she had bullied for so many years was actually so powerful, she would probably regret it to death...

So Zhou Lingling came to talk to Chen about this matter, and Chen agreed without saying a word.

She even took out a bag of silver from the cabinet and threw it to her daughter, saying:

"Buy! Let's buy a grown, strong horse, a good one!"

Zhou Lingling smiled with her eyes curved, and walked out of Chen's room holding the silver. She looked so beautiful!

Xiao Yan in the yard looked at her with such an awkward expression and shook his head in amusement.

"I gave you such a huge estate worth ten thousand taels, why don't you seem so happy?"

Zhou Lingling glanced at him and said, "How can this be the same?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "What's the difference?"

Zhou Lingling stuffed the silver given by her mother into her sleeve, but actually put it into the space, and asked Fuguier to keep it in the small attic for her.

"My mother gave this to me!"

She looked proud.

If Zhou Lingling hadn't known that Xiao Yan's biological mother died young, she wouldn't have wanted to hurt him, otherwise she would have boasted to him a few more times.

She gets to spend the money her mother worked so hard to earn. It makes her happy just thinking about it!

The farm was something he had stolen with great effort, although it didn't have the title deed, and he had to share half of the crops he planted with the other party.

It can't be compared with the money my mother gave me!

Zhou Lingling: Super, super happy...
