After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

She now has silver, several hundred taels at that. She has enough money to buy food or land.

Now she feels like a rich woman, and can do whatever she wants. Living off her savings is not her style.

Besides, she will eventually grow old and die, and the children will grow up.

What will happen to the children when she is gone? So we must work hard and create a sustainable development project.

"Qing Zhao, sit down."

She took out all her savings, a total of more than 510 taels. She took out 50 taels for the land purchase, leaving about 460 taels.

This amount of money is more than enough to build the yard and buy land for food. There is no rush for the construction period, so we can take our time.

"Huanhuan, what do you need me to do?" After Xu Qingzhao sat down, he watched Huanxi writing and drawing on the paper, as if she was calculating something.

"Qing Zhao, is there any good land for sale in our village?"

Xu Qingzhao thought for a moment and said, "I remember there was about five mu of land with the character 'Shi' (Time) on the left just below your house. (Tip: There are five types of land: time, place, and people. Time is the best. Heaven is usually the land of the emperor.) It belonged to Lu Fa. After he disappeared, it was confiscated."

So that's how it is. Lu Fa is a strong man, so it's no wonder that he can afford to buy the land on his own.

Huanxi felt that he had picked up a great bargain. The land was close to his home and was very large. Five acres was more than enough for him, so he inquired about the price of the land.

"The price of land with the character 'Shi' is fifteen taels per mu. (Land with the character 'Di' is around four taels. This conclusion was drawn from consulting the literature.)"

"What? So expensive! How can Lu Fa afford it?"

Xu Qingzhao smiled slightly and said, "Lu Fa's land was passed down from his father. At that time, only one acre of land was good land, and the rest was all land with the character 'di'. But Lu Fa was very good at taking care of it, so when the village chief went to survey the land, he marked it as land with the character 'shi'."

I see….How is this….I bought the land as poor quality, then I made it into good quality land, then sold it at the price of poor quality land, and when I buy it back I can only get the high price of good quality land…..

When it comes to doing business, it still has to be the imperial court...

No wonder Lufa has been dead for so long. Logically, the good land should have been bought by someone long ago. But it hasn't been bought for so long. Who can afford it? Fifteen taels, who can afford fifteen taels?

When Granny Liu went to Rongguo Mansion, she only asked for twenty taels of silver to get through the winter... This is too much of a rip-off...

"Then do you think I should buy it? This land is not cheap at all..." Huanxi couldn't make up her mind, so she asked Xu Qingzhao for his opinion.

Qing Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Do you know why the Shizi land sells so well?"

"Want some fatter?"

"That's right. Switching from land to time is no easy task. The reason the village chief designated those acres as good land is because the crops there not only grew well, but also because after the strong wind, there was almost no loss of rice."

Huanxi immediately grasped the point and said, "If I buy the land now, does that mean the crops on the land will also belong to me?"

"In theory, that's right. This year's autumn tax is due on September 9th. You bought it before then. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to buy or sell land during the tax month."

Zhao Huanxi's heart had already flown to the fields. Tomorrow morning, he would go check on the crops there and then ask the village chief to come and mark out the land behind the bamboo forest. Only with land could he feel at ease.

He had already made up his mind when there was a knock on the door. Zhao Huanxi's study door was open. He looked outside and saw Linghua and her son.

"Come in. What do you want from me?"

After the two men came in, they knelt on the ground in front of Huanxi without saying a word, leaving Zhao Huanxi completely confused.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Linghua slowly raised her head, not daring to look into Huanxi's eyes: "Madam, thank you for saving my life. I...I...I have something to ask you..."

Huanxi sighed. She had pieced together this woman's life story from Linghua's few words. Although she was a pitiful person, now that she had bought her, what could she ask for?

"You talk, I want to listen." Her tone was cold, and no emotion could be heard.

Linghua quickly knocked her head against the floor tiles, making a banging sound. Zhao Huanxi did not stop her and let her knock.

"Madam, Xiaodan was born with a heart disease, and the doctor said she can't do physical work. I'd like to ask Madam if you could let me handle all of Xiaodan's work from now on."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head to the ground, not daring to look up at Huanxi. She had lied to her mistress. Xiaodan's chronic illness was congenital. Over the years, her medical treatment and medication had drained the family's savings and gradually alienated her husband. In the end, she was sold by the mother and daughter.

She was afraid that Xiaodan would be sold to a bad place. With her existing heart disease, how could she withstand such hardship? So, seeing that the couple were from a good family, she lied about Xiaodan's illness. Now that she had entered the Zhao family, she discovered that they were considered wealthy among the farmers. Since Xiaodan couldn't do manual labor, she came to Huanxi's room and begged.

Huanxi was a little angry at first, wondering why they paid such a high salary to hire a young lady. But she calmed down and thought about it.

If it were her own three children, she would probably be more anxious than Linghua... But lying to herself is unforgivable. If she explains things directly, she might agree.

She held her composure and didn't get angry. She just said coldly, "So, do you want me to ask Xiao Dan not to do any heavy work, or do you want her to not do any work at all?"

"No, ma'am, Xiaodan just can't do heavy work, she's fine with everything else." Linghua waved her hands quickly.

Huanxi looked at her face. She was obviously the same age as Chunliu, but she looked about thirty years old. Her hands were covered with calluses. Her face was haggard, and it was obvious that she was overworked.

Zhao Huanxi sighed heavily. "Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers." She admired such women. Now that she had bought them, they were considered her own family.

"I promise you, but Xiaodan still has to do the little things. You understand medicinal herbs, so I'll leave the matters of the medicine field to you. If you don't understand, come and ask me. But when you have free time, follow Chunliu and Xiahe. Our Zhao family is enough to support Xiaodan as a free person."

Hearing Huanxi's agreement, Linghua immediately burst into tears of joy and kowtowed wildly on the ground, saying nice things all the time. Huanxi was annoyed by these words, so she waved her hand and let her go.

"Huanhuan, you are such a nice person." Xu Qingzhao looked at this cold-mouthed but soft-hearted woman, and the waves in his heart began to surge again.

Zhao Huanxi had forgotten that there was someone watching the fun nearby, so she turned around and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "I'm such a nice person, do you want to work with me forever? I guarantee you'll have a good life."

"Okay. I wonder if you could give me a title?"

"You still want status? How about a concubine? Or a bed warmer? But it's so warm now, I don't need it for now. Let's wait until winter."

Xu Qingzhao was amused by her words. Being a bed warmer wasn't an option, but marrying into the family was a possibility...
