Landlady who likes to hoard land

Looking at the remaining peach pits, Wang Chengyu had a sudden inspiration. He turned them all into small handicrafts, went to the back warehouse to find red thread, and wanted to weave them into amulet bracelets to try out in the live broadcast room.

These peach pits possess their own spiritual energy; they may not have a major effect, but they are certainly effective at warding off evil spirits.

I spent ages braiding, but I couldn't make a single bracelet... I couldn't help it, my hands just wouldn't obey me.

Wang Chengyu decisively gave up and bought a knitting course for his mother in the learning system. Wang Chengyu remembered that when he was a child, his mother had woven small baskets out of willow branches and could also knit sweaters and trousers. Her ten fingers flew, and she was incredibly nimble.

Making a bracelet shouldn't be a problem.

Hehe, Wang Chengyu chuckled to himself.

She also harbored some selfish motives, wanting to find something for Wang's mother to do, so that she wouldn't have to follow her two grandsons around like a maid every day.

It was already difficult enough for her parents to raise four children, let alone Wang Ziming and Wang Zifei. Now that the two children are so grown up, she still takes care of her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all day long, which makes Wang Chengyu feel uncomfortable.

Wang Chengyu mentioned wanting to hire a caregiver for his mother, but his mother dismissed it with a single sentence: "Am I useless? Let's talk about that when I can't move anymore!"

Wang's mother relied on her son and grandson from the bottom of her heart. She had no ability to earn money, so she wanted to realize her value by taking meticulous care of her son's family.

If you let her eat, drink, and enjoy life every day, she will feel uncomfortable.

Wang Chengyu understands all of this. Wasn't she just like her mother before? The influence of one's family of origin is truly far-reaching.

Wang Chengyu bought his mother a knitting course, hoping that she could shift her focus and energy. If adults take too much care of children, the children will never grow up.

The four siblings were taken too good to be by their mother, which is why they matured much later than their peers.

From now on, the weaving work will be Wang's mother's responsibility. If it can generate income, it will also be another manifestation of value for Wang's mother. Wang Chengyu happily made plans.

No, I need to buy knitting lessons for Tian Jing as well.

It would be great to have the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law work together to research and set up a small family workshop. At the same time, there would be no need to worry about Wang's mother getting tired.

Selling only bracelets won't work.

Wang Chengyu idly scrolled through the learning system's panel.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's it."

In a few quick moves, I bought a woodworking course for Mr. Wang.

"Haha, I'm so smart."

Wang Chengyu laughed heartily after buying the course, thoroughly enjoying ripping off his own family.

A complete service: she provides the raw materials, Mr. Wang does the fine processing, Ms. Wang and Tian Jing make the finished products, and Wang Chenghua is responsible for selling them through live streaming. Perfect!

Everyone around her had acquired a skill to rely on, so what should she learn? Wang Chengyu sat under the grapevines in the courtyard of the siheyuan, resting her chin on her hand, her fingers gently tapping the stone tabletop.

The rhythmic "tap, tap, tap" sound was particularly clear in the quiet courtyard.

I can't remember, so I'll keep digging into the learning system.

Architectural design?

By the way, I'm a landlord now, with such a large piece of land, how can I not plan it properly?

I'll buy all the courses on land planning, architectural design, landscaping, and art design. It would be so much fun for her to plan and design her own land. But she doesn't seem to have that much time. Oh well, I'll learn first.

After purchasing the course, Wang Chengyu wandered around the mountains, looking for suitable timber. He thought every tree looked good, and finally settled on a beech and a pine.

Transforming into Bald Qiang, the two trees quickly turned into neat blocks of wood.

A wooden box containing red thread was found in the warehouse.

Just as he was about to leave the space, he stopped and appeared in front of Yao Yao in a flash.

"Yaoyao, have you finished watching the movies on your tablet? I'll download a few new ones for you!" Wang Chengyu smiled brightly and obsequiously.

Yao Yao lazily lifted her eyes from the tablet.

[Speak your mind!]

[Hehe,] Wang Chengyu chuckled, rubbing his hands together. [I just wanted to ask, those fruit trees in the peach orchard, the older ones don't seem to bear fruit anymore, shouldn't we plant new ones?]

[There's a woodshed in the courtyard of the traditional courtyard house, which seems to have been made of spatial stones. I remember that excess trees were stored there.]

Yao Yao immediately saw through Wang Chengyu's intentions; he was after her peach wood. As soon as Yao Yao finished speaking, Wang Chengyu's figure disappeared.

[That heartless woman! She just said she'd download new movies for me, and now she's run away faster than a rabbit.]

Yao Yao couldn't help but complain, and after complaining, she went back to playing on her tablet.

Wang Chengyu stared in disbelief at the overflowing woodshed. How many years had this wood been stored up? Who needs so much wood for firewood?

The warehouse was filled with timber that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, neatly stacked according to type, from coarse to fine. It was truly breathtaking.

People of Wang Chengyu's generation never used firewood for cooking, so when she first saw this woodshed, she thought it was just a simple woodshed. Now it seems that it is a warehouse with a huge amount of timber and a wide variety of types.

After selecting a piece each of peach wood and pear wood, along with the pine and beech wood from before, Wang Chengyu finally left the space satisfied.

After leaving the space, Wang Chengyu began to shop extensively on various shopping platforms.

Various styles of wooden bracelets and jewelry.

I bought almost every type of wooden product.

Two days later, packages arrived one after another from various places. Wang Chengyu resumed his life of unpacking packages.

After everything arrived, Wang Chengyu carried all the raw materials she had prepared to her parents' house.

"Chengyu, are you fleeing famine?!"

Tian Jing was startled when she saw Wang Chengyu looking disheveled and carrying a large bag.

"Hehe, sister-in-law, yes, we've fled to your doorstep during the famine. Have some pity on us, give us a drink of water!"

Wang Chengyu grinned. These past few days, all she'd done was buy things and unpack packages; she was completely unrefined.

"Here, I'll be merciful and give you a piece of watermelon!"

Tian Jing played along, smiling as she handed her a slice of watermelon.

"Sis, why did you call me over here?"

At that moment, Wang Chenghua pushed the door open and came in.

"You'll find out soon, sister-in-law. Where are our parents?"

Wang Chengyu laboriously dragged the large bag into the living room, plopped down on the sofa, and shook his wrists—it was too heavy.

She was very strong; the wood inside was too heavy.

"They went visiting. Should I call them back?"

"No need, I'll talk to you first, and then you can tell them. It's the same thing."

Come, all of you, come and take a look.

Wang Chengyu waved to Tian Jing and Wang Chenghua, then took out the things she had brought and placed them on the coffee table one by one.

"Sis, where did you buy these wholesale? Are these things you plan to sell in your live stream?"

Wang Chenghua dragged a small stool over and sat around the coffee table, curiously taking the things that Wang Chengyu had taken out and examining them carefully.

"Yes and no!"

Wang Chengyu answered casually and continued to take things out.

Tian Jing also came over and picked up a bracelet. "What an exquisite bracelet! This is a good deal!"

Wang Chengyu finally finished emptying one bag, then dragged over another bag and continued emptying it. When there wasn't enough room on the coffee table, they were all piled on the floor.

"Sis, why did you bring all this wood?"

Wang Chenghua was dumbfounded.

"Alright, all done! I'm going to wash my hands first." With everything finally laid out, Wang Chengyu clapped his hands and got up to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, Wang Chengyu sat back down on the sofa.

I casually picked up an exquisite massage comb from the coffee table.

"Sister-in-law, Chenghua, all these things I bought are top-quality, and they cost a lot of money. They're all brand names; this little massage comb alone cost several hundred yuan!"

"I originally thought about helping others sell products in the live streaming room, but then I thought, why don't we make them ourselves? Not only can we reduce costs, but we can also ensure quality, which is a win-win situation!"

"I've thought it through. We'll go for a high-quality, low-volume approach, focusing on refined and accessible luxury."

"Look at this, everyone. Can we make something like this ourselves?"

Tian Jing and Wang Chenghua became interested and looked at it more and more carefully.
