Wealthy beyond measure, yet you call me a sister-supporting-brother demon?

Fang Wengen and Sun Qingyou's words were like a bolt from the blue, completely stunning Zhang Wen on the spot.

This is actually a real silver note?

Yuan Laifu actually has the money to buy his thirty acres of land?!

What if he had said forty mu of land? Would Yuan Laifu have been unable to come up with one hundred and twenty taels?

Seeing the calm and composed demeanor of Yuan Laifu and Yuan Sheng, Zhang Wen felt somewhat relieved that they could afford it, especially since he had left behind ten acres of land.

Yuan Sheng sighed, "Uncle Zhang Wen, I just tried to persuade my father, but you just wouldn't listen... sigh."

Zhang Wen wanted to slap himself! Indeed, Yuan Sheng had just tried to persuade Yuan Laifu, but he had stopped him, and he was filled with regret.

Zhang Wen then wondered, what if he changed his mind? Would losing ten taels of silver be enough?

No, it seems Sun Qingyou isn't planning to buy his land. If he doesn't sell it to Yuan Laifu, how can he quickly raise the money to save his two sons?

Zhang Wen sighed.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Fang Wengen said, "Then shall I write the land deed?"

Zhang Wen nodded dejectedly.

Yuan Laifu said, "Wengen, write it down."

Fang Wengen wrote down the land location, the detailed process of the transaction, the transaction time, the witnesses, and other matters, and had Yuan Laifu and Zhang Wen put their fingerprints on it.

After the two men pressed their fingerprints, Fang Wengen said, "Brother Laifu, tomorrow you will come with me to the yamen to transfer the property. This thirty mu of land will then be yours. The transfer fee is five qian of silver."

Yuan Laifu nodded. "Thank you, brother."

Zhang Wen has no change on hand, so he has to borrow ten taels from the village headman's public account. He will break a hundred-tael silver note early tomorrow morning and then return it to the village.

The money and goods are both settled.

Previously, Zhang Wen's family owned forty mu of land, and Yuan Laifu's family owned ten mu of land.

Now, Yuan Laifu's family owns forty mu of land, and Zhang Wen's family owns ten mu.

Fang Wengen and Sun Qingyou couldn't help but sigh, "Life is unpredictable. Who would have thought that Zhang Wen, who had one of the largest farmlands in the village, would now only have ten mu of land left?"

Yuan Laifu, who had little land and few possessions, ended up with this family business.

Zhang Wen was seething with anger. Last time, he only lost face because of Yuan Laifu, but this time he lost everything.

Yuan Sheng and Yuan Laifu, just wait and see. Once his son passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, he will buy all of Yuan Laifu's land!

After Zhang Wen left with a livid expression, Yuan Laifu and his brother also bid farewell to Fang Wengen.

Fang Wengen was also baffled by the Yuan family's sudden wealth. Could it be that Yuan Sheng's scholar father-in-law had given his daughter several hundred taels of silver as dowry?

How much the hell does that cost?!

Old Yuan's family made a good choice in marrying this woman!

Sun Qingyou also had many questions to ask his childhood friend, so he quickly caught up with Yuan Laifu. When Yuan Laifu saw that his childhood friend wanted to have a private talk with him, he said to his son, "Bao'er, you go home first, I'll chat with your Uncle Sun for a while."

"Okay, Dad, go home early after you're done talking."

As Yuan Sheng walked away, Sun Qing slapped Yuan Laifu on the back and said, "Laifu, tell me! Where did this money come from?"

"I've already told you, you have no idea how much my son earns. You can't even imagine how capable and awesome he is now!" Hey, Yuan Laifu rarely has the chance to brag in front of his childhood friend!

"Do you think I don't know Yuanbao? He uses all his cleverness on being lazy and good-for-nothing. Laifu, let me tell you, you'd better keep a close eye on your son, lest he cause some disaster in the future."

Yuan Laifu was a little helpless. Was it so hard to believe that his son was awesome? He didn't want to talk about the cooperation with Donglaishun for the time being. It wasn't that he didn't trust Sun Qingyou, but he didn't trust his wife. Once Sun Qingyou told his wife, it would be the same as the whole village knowing.

"Qingyou, don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on things. This money is definitely not stolen or robbed!"

Sun Qing thought of Yuan Sheng's handsome face and his increasingly dashing demeanor. Could it be...? "Lai Fu, tell me honestly, is Yuan Sheng being kept by some landlord's widow in town?"

"Laifu! You can't live off women! If these widows' families find out, your Yuansheng will be beaten to death! You're so foolish, how can you not care about something like this?!"

Sun Qingyou finally realized that Yuanbao's only way to make money quickly was through his face. Wait, there's also his...things below! He was impressive even as a child; no wonder Yuanbao could make money so fast—both his face and his...things were amazing!

Yuan Laifu stood there dumbfounded. What the hell was this all about?! "Qingyou! That's pure nonsense! You think I'd let my Yuanbao become a gigolo?! You really have a way with ideas, you're a real genius!"

"Is not it?"

"of course not!"

“If you say it’s not true, then it’s not true.” Sun Qingyou clearly didn’t believe him.

Yuan Laifu was annoyed by his childhood friend. "I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. I'm going home to sleep."

"Go, go, go." Good intentions are met with ingratitude.

Unbeknownst to Yuan Laifu and Sun Qingyou, Zhang Wen overheard their conversation.

Zhang Wen clapped his hands, "So that's how it is!"

He had just been wondering if the scholar-in-law from the Yuan family had given several hundred taels of silver as dowry. But then he thought it impossible; he was just a scholar, not a wealthy landlord. Several hundred taels of silver could buy a hundred acres of land. A dowry of a hundred acres—that would be incredibly wealthy!

Now! He finally knows where the Yuan family's money comes from! It turns out Yuan Sheng is being kept by a wealthy widow! He makes money off his face and his penis!

Pah! Disgusting!

Sigh! Zhang Wen sighed again. As far as he knew, many wealthy widows had fair and tender skin, and getting involved with them... could make money!

Damn it, why doesn't such a good thing happen to him!

No, we absolutely have to spread the word about Yuan Sheng becoming a male concubine to his family. Unfortunately, he has to take care of his sick son these days, so he'll have to wait until his son returns.

When Yuansheng returned home, Sheng Guihua was overjoyed to hear that her son and husband had bought thirty acres of land from Zhang Wen's family for ninety taels of silver.

"That wretched Ma Guifen! She even wanted to buy our well and house land for 15 taels of silver for 5 taels! If you ask me, even 2 taels of silver per mu is too much for them." Sheng Guihua was furious just thinking about Ma Guifen and Zhang Wen's previous attitude.

Yuan Sheng laughed, “Mother, I think three taels is just right. If it were any lower, the villagers would say we’re stingy. Their son is waiting for a life-saving treatment, and if we desperately try to lower the price, it would be considered taking advantage of their misfortune. Now, at three taels of silver, we’ve gotten a good deal. Plus, there was the time Zhang Wen wanted to buy the well from us at a low price. Nobody in the village can say anything about it; they’ll even say we’re kind and righteous.”

“That’s true.” Sheng Guihua felt that her husband and son had considered things thoroughly. “Oh my! Our family now has forty mu of land! Ten mu of land has become forty mu of land, I still can’t quite process it.”

“Mom, you have to get used to it. Didn’t I say I would buy you and Dad a thousand acres of land? We’re only at the beginning.”

Sheng Guihua smiled like a flower, "Son, don't worry, even if you buy your mother a thousand qing of land, your mother can manage."

A thousand qing? That's not impossible. It took me twenty years to be the richest person in my past life, two years should be enough in this one.

After exchanging pleasantries with his mother, Yuansheng returned to his room. His wife had already prepared the water for him to wash his feet. After washing his feet and splashing the water, Yuansheng climbed into bed and, embracing his sweet and soft wife, drifted off to sleep.
