She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

It's approaching evening.

Qin Yu and Zhao Lin rode alone under the setting sun.

Zhao Lin's face was full of emotion.

"In my decades of service as an official, this is the first time someone has called me a good official!"

When Zhao Lin heard the phrase "good official," he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

That feeling moved him and made him feel at ease.

"Lord Zhao, you have done very well!"

Zhao Lin knew one thing: here, he was the local tyrant.

So when Lin Jingui and his son caused trouble, they weren't worried or afraid of them at all.

They were immediately imprisoned.

She understood when she saw the constables collecting protection money.

Corrupt officials can be found everywhere, but the emperor is far away.

If the authority is placed on a county magistrate, it will take at least three to five months.

It would be better to improve your performance over three to five months.

At that time, the emperor will not care whether he was corrupt or not, but only what he did for the people's livelihood.

"Nothing much has happened here over the years, just trivial matters, and I myself..."

Zhao Lin paused here.

"I had almost forgotten what it was like to be an official, but now I seem to have rediscovered some of the meaning of being an official back then."

"Lord Zhao, nothing major has happened, that's good enough. The weather is favorable, that's all that matters!"

Qin Yu wasn't trying to comfort him.

The absence of major cases indicates that the area has good public security.

"Young Master Qin, thank you very much!" Zhao Lin, who was nearing forty, had a look of satisfaction on his face.

"My lord, there's no need for words of thanks. You know what I need!"

Qin Yu smiled and brought up the matter from before.

"That's easy. I'm a man of my word, I won't go back on my word. It's just that on paper..."

Zhao Lin was an official, and all the land belonged to the imperial court. With his abilities, he could only buy and sell a small portion of it privately.

But even if the mountain is to be given to him, he cannot make the decision on his own.

There are hundreds of acres of fertile land inside; how can you just give it away like that!

"Lord Zhao, you misunderstand. I wanted the mountain, not the mountain for free. I will pay for it!"

Qin Yu smiled.

"That makes things much easier. A few thousand taels of silver will do. I can sell you our friendship cheap!"

Qin Yu nodded.

That's good, it saves a lot of money.

For the next two days, Qin Yu didn't interfere further and instead handed the matter over to the county magistrate.

He then went to transplant cotton plants.

However, he didn't show up much; he just gave instructions.

We've taught them how to do it, now we're just waiting for them to plant the cotton.

After three busy days, Qin Yu was finally able to finally get some rest.

Even though she was resting, she didn't forget to exercise every morning.

After dinner, I took Lu Zhou and Lu Xiaoan for a walk.

The purchase of mountain land requires careful consideration.

Zhao Lin was busy with tax collection, so things could only be done slowly.

Seeing this, Qin Yu knew that he couldn't rush things.

She finished her work, and Qin Qiang was in the workshop, so she only needed to go there every two or three days.

They took in all the little beggars in the village.

She visited for two days and found them to be very enthusiastic.

There wasn't much to do there, and she felt a little unaccustomed to having so much free time.

So they decided to find a schoolteacher.

But her husband was hard to find, and she didn't know where to look for him.

The best gentleman in town was Lu Zhou's husband.

But it's probably not feasible to have that self-important gentleman teach those beggars.

After inquiring for two days, I still couldn't find a suitable person.

So she considered whether she should go to another city herself to inquire about it.

Just then, Qin Qiang ran in carrying some wheat.

"Little sister, Xiao An, Uncle is here!" Qin Qiang put down his things and picked up Lu Xiao An.

Before Qin Yu could ask what had happened, Qin Qiang told her first.

"Little sister, I want to discuss something with you."

Qin Yu put down what he was holding and saw that his face was a little flushed and he looked somewhat embarrassed.

He asked him with some surprise.

"Brother, has something happened?"

Qin Yu, her older brother, was incredibly kind to her.

Always stand by her side and support her.

That alone was enough to move her.

So no matter what happens to Qin Qiang, I will definitely help him.

"Here's the thing, I'm planning to move to town with my parents and your sister-in-law, closer to my workplace, so I can take care of my parents!"

Qin Qiang told Qin Yu his thoughts.

Qin Yu gave his parents one hundred taels of silver last time, saying that he would buy some land to plant after the wheat harvest.

They returned the land; that was indeed their plan.

Coincidentally, Qin Qiang was pulled into the workshop by her, where he worked diligently.

It was no longer the days when we went three days without making any money at the dock.

For the first time, he felt a sense of accomplishment from having something to do, and he was full of energy.

I don't want to hold my younger sister back.

The village and this workshop are quite far apart.

He originally wanted to buy an oxcart, which would make it easier to travel to and from town and back home.

But his wife advised him to be patient and wait a few years until they moved to the town, which would be more convenient.

Hearing this, Qin Qiang had an idea in mind.

We haven't bought the land yet, but we have some extra money at home.

Let's just move to town.

Not only is it closer to my workplace, but it's also closer to my sister.

When we get to town, I can take my wife to the clinic for some treatment.

With this thought in mind, he began to feel restless.

The next day, I went to town and found a house.

He was lucky; he actually found a good place.

It's an ordinary courtyard, but clean and quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. It's also not far to go to the market to buy groceries.

I looked around and was quite satisfied with everything.

The price is one hundred and twenty taels.

Last time, Qin Yu gave them one hundred taels of silver, which was just for one family's expenses and the landlord's land.

You always have to spend money, and even if you're frugal, you don't have much left.

But he didn't want to miss out on that nice house.

His wife had suffered a lot with him, and he didn't want her to stay in the village forever.

So he was also a little unsure.

That's when I thought of Qin Yu.

My younger sister is not as good as she used to be.

My younger sister is very resourceful now; she can do business and make money.

I have to ask her about many things I don't understand.

So when faced with such a dilemma, I decided to ask my younger sister.

He now unconditionally trusts his sister.

He will definitely buy it as long as his sister says she can.

"My elder brother wants to borrow fifty taels of silver from you. Don't worry, I will pay you back slowly in the future!"

Qin Qiang looked rather grim and glanced around.

I'm a little worried and scared.

She was afraid that if Lu Chenniang found out that she had borrowed money, she would use the matter to attack Qin Yu.

He's thick-skinned and doesn't care what others say, but Qin Yu is different.

"That's good news, wait for me!"

Qin Yu still pretended to enter the room and took out two hundred taels of silver from his spatial storage.

It was handed to Qin Qiang.

"So many?"
