Expelled from the Duke's mansion, the fake heiress is richer than a country.

Yu Man was very disappointed. If Boss Wei stopped buying red velvet grass, he would be unable to help his elder brother's family become wealthy.

Seeing her father's expression, Yu Wanran frowned slightly. She thought that apart from her eldest uncle, everyone else in the eldest branch of the family was trouble. But remembering the kindness of her eldest uncle's meager coffin in her previous life, and now that her family had prospered, she couldn't just watch the eldest branch of the family die poor.

So he offered a solution.

"Dad, you should try planting red grass first. If there's a market for it, take Uncle with you. But it's hard to guarantee how much money you'll make."

"In addition, I plan to go to the government office to complete the relocation procedures. Once our family arrives at the new place, I will move out as a separate household."

The farther away from Qingping Village and Tongcheng, the better.

The matter had already been agreed upon, so Yu Man and his wife stopped worrying about it. Ji Chunhua asked with concern, "So, Ranran, have you decided which town our family will go to?"

Yu Wanran said, "I'm going out to investigate the day after tomorrow. It will take at most two or three months, or at least a month. I will definitely be back."

Ji Chunhua said with concern, "Let your father go with you this time, so he can help you take a look and see which land is suitable to buy."

Farmers can't live without the land. Even though Yu Wanran advocated opening a shop, they still felt more at ease knowing they had land at home.

Yu Wanran hesitated: "Then... what about cultivating red grass?"

Yu Mancai is a seasoned farmer, while her older brother Yu Wenbin might be a little less skilled. She has more important matters to attend to; she wants to arrange things for her father.

Yu Wenrong kept rubbing his fingers on the table, making a sound. But no one in the family looked at him, so he could only pout and bury his head in his hands, looking dejected.

"I've already prepared the seeds. Tomorrow, I'll take Ta Xue to the fields with the eldest brother, and we can plant some."

Yu Man considered it carefully.

"Although it's just grass from the rotten road in Datong Village, the eldest brother will have to take good care of it during this period. As for the other public fields, let's return them to the village for the time being."

Since she had decided to leave Qingping Village, she didn't plan to cultivate the several acres of wasteland. Hongcao would just plant her own two acres of land.

What if the villagers ask why we're growing grass instead of grain? How will we explain that?

Think about it, they weren't living here back then, so what did they care what the villagers were saying behind their backs? At most, they might say that their family was ruining the land and leaving it barren.

Judging from what my daughter said, it's uncertain whether the red velvet grass can continue to be sold.

Now that the family has enough money to last them for several lifetimes, Yu Man's horizons have naturally broadened.

Yu Wanran nodded, agreeing with her father's arrangement: "This time, let Yanqing stay and take care of the family, and Dad and I will take Yanbai out."

Yan Bai is not as naive as Yan Qing, but he is more adept at handling external affairs.

The family chatted and discussed until dawn. Seeing Yu Wanran start to yawn, Ji Chunhua urged her to go and rest.

The others were still wide awake, full of energy, ready to start a new day of work.

Yu Wenrong voluntarily handed over a stack of silver notes to Ji Chunhua.

"Mother, our family is moving, buying a house and land elsewhere. I have a responsibility to contribute. Here, keep this money safe; do whatever you need to do!"

He used to be overjoyed to have two copper coins in his pocket for pocket money. But now that his third sister had given him so many silver notes, he felt like his hands were burning with envy.

He'll still need his parents to help him get married in the future, and even after he gets married, they won't separate the household. With so much money in his pocket, he's not even comfortable leaving home to go to school! It's better to give it back to his mother for safekeeping.

We're family, there's no need to worry about too much.

Ji Chunhua was pleased with her youngest son's trust. But considering her daughter's intentions, she hesitated for a moment before returning half of the silver notes to her youngest son.

"Fourth son, leave five hundred taels of silver with your mother. I'll keep it safe for you. When we get to the new place, I'll buy you land, build a house, and find you a wife. We'll pay you back the rest after you get married. Your parents won't covet this little bit of money."

“Didn’t your third sister say she would continue trading in the future? You could consider giving this money to your third sister to invest in business.”

Yu Wenrong thought his mother was right and put away the remaining four hundred taels.

Yu Wenbin and Zhu Xiaozhen exchanged a glance. Yu Wenbin, holding five hundred taels of silver notes, also handed them to Ji Chunhua with a smile.

"Mother, please also keep five hundred taels for us. We can use it as needed, and the rest can be considered as filial piety from Xiaozhen and me."

As for the remaining silver, having tasted success, he wanted to continue asking his third sister to help him make money from money.

Ji Chunhua happily accepted the money. A joyful occasion puts one in high spirits; her body, which had been listless and crippled for half a year, now radiated vitality from within.

"Once we move to a new place, our family won't have to hide like we do now, afraid to eat meat or wear new clothes! When we do, I'll give each of you a brand new outfit from head to toe!"

Zhu Xiaozhen intertwined her ten rough fingers, offering a somewhat awkward suggestion.

"Mother, Third Sister has been running around a lot, and she seems to have lost weight. I'll kill a chicken later and go to the village to buy some meat so we can have a good lunch."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chunhua felt a pang of sympathy for her chickens that had just laid eggs: "Keep the chickens at home to lay eggs. If you want to eat them, go ask around in the village. Offer a few extra coins, and someone will surely sell them."

Yu Man hurriedly said, "If you have any, buy a few more! Don't let the children go hungry!"

It's not that we can't afford to eat. The whole family is so thin they're skin and bones, they'd be blown away by the wind. Spring planting is coming soon, we need to replenish our resources.

Yu Wanran slept until noon.

As soon as she got up, Zhu Xiaozhen and her daughter diligently set out several hot dishes for her.

Yu Wanran looked around the rooms. Besides herself and the mother and daughter, even Ji Chunhua was nowhere to be seen. She asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, where is Mother?"

Zhu Xiaozhen smiled and said, "Mother was worried about Father and the others making Ta Xue plow the fields, so she insisted on going to check on them. My younger brother is still at the private school. Third sister, hurry up and eat. This food was specially saved for you. I've reheated it several times."

Yu Wanran turned her gaze to the table.

A large bowl of chicken soup, two chicken legs, a pair of chicken wings, and chicken breast meat were all in the bowl. In addition, there was a bowl of radish stewed with pork and a plate of sweet and sour cabbage.

Authentic farm-style flavor, rich and fragrant.

Zhu Xiaozhen stayed by her side, afraid that if she left, her third sister-in-law would carry Xiaoxiang to the table and share the meager amount of chicken.

"Third Sister, we've all eaten, you should eat now!"

Seeing Yu Wanran instinctively grab Xiao Xiang's hand, she grabbed her daughter and led her out the door, saying as she went, "After you've finished eating, just put the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen. I'll take Xiao Xiang to the fields to bring water to Mom and Dad."

Yu Wanran shook her head and chuckled. Thinking that her family wouldn't be short of money in the future, she sat down to eat by herself.

But she can't possibly eat that much by herself.

After a slight hesitation, I went to the kitchen and got two empty bowls. I put a chicken leg in each bowl, ladled in chicken broth, added the radish stew with meat, and two bowls of rice. I put them on a tray, carried them to the warehouse to find someone.

Yanqing lay on the wooden bed, with a pile of straw beneath him and an old, flowery quilt covering him, fast asleep.

Yan Bai wasn't there.

Whether it was the fragrance or the sense of someone approaching, Yan Qing opened her eyes as soon as Yu Wanran stepped through the door.

Upon seeing Yu Wanran, Yan Qing rolled off the bed and asked in confusion, "Master, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Yu Wanran placed the tray on the wobbly old wooden table beside the bed, turned her head to look at the empty warehouse, and smelled a damp, musty odor. Her eyes were filled with apology.

"Yanqing, I'm sorry to have troubled you and Yanbai."
