After Yang Liu finished speaking, she squatted on the ground and cried. Everyone also cried, missing their relatives who had died tragically.

After a while, Ah Lian wiped her tears and stood up to pull up Yang Liu. “Let’s go. What’s the use of crying? We still have to be busy with spring seeds. The seasons don’t wait for people.”

Yang Liu stood up and followed Ah Lian into the courtyard. The other women got up and walked towards the courtyard. Everyone took hoes and farm tools and walked into the field.

Xiangxiu and the others stood for a while before turning around and going into the house to get the farming tools.

Judge Sun returned to the capital to complete the procedures. The next day, he went to the Zhou family to visit.

Uncle Liu informed Ji Xiang. After the two of them met and exchanged pleasantries, Ji Xiang invited Sun Tong into the living room to sit down.

When Li Yu came out of the inner courtyard, Judge Sun Tong smiled and went forward to greet her. Li Yu smiled politely and invited him to sit down, She asked, “Lord Sun, have the women in Liang Village been settled?”

Judge Sun replied respectfully, “It’s already been arranged. I’m here because they asked me to ask for Madam’s opinion.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Lord Sun, please speak.”

Judge Sun Tong said slowly, “It’s like this. There are still more than 400 acres of land without an owner in Liang Village and more than 200 acres of sloping land. I originally wanted to send it back to Shanyang County to sell it. That woman called Ah Lian asked me to ask Madam Li on their behalf if you’re willing to buy the remaining fields of the two villages. As long as you buy those fields, that farmstead will be given to your family.”

Li Yu nodded without hesitation. “Alright, I’ll buy them all.”

Seeing that Li Yu had agreed, Judge Sun smiled and said, “Thank you, Madam Li. Please send someone back to the government office with me to settle the contract.”

“Okay.” Li Yu looked at Ji Xiang and said, “Accompany Lord Sun to the government office. ”

After Ji Xiang agreed, he followed Judge Sun to the government office.

Li Yu thought that Liang Village was filled with women. It might be inconvenient to hire long-term workers to work. Only by buying a few servants and hiring a few tenants to work in the village would it be easier to restrain them.

She got up and went to the side courtyard. She found Zhao Cai and said, “Judge Sun Tong just came… get Ruyi here. The two of you will split up to buy some farming tools and a few plowing cows. Go to the brokerage and buy a few servants to send to Liang Village. Plant this season’s rice first and plant all the corn and sweet potatoes on the ground.”

Zhao Cai thought for a moment and said, “Madam, the people with most of the brokers in the capital don’t know how to do farm work. It’s more suitable for me to go to Lin County or Hengshan Town to buy them. Tang Yong and the other families in Wang Family Village said that after their children got married, they didn’t have enough fields to plant in our tenant fields. They even asked Han San where there were fields to farm.”

Li Yu nodded. “Alright, do as you see fit. When Ji Xiang comes back, get him to go to the hot spring manor and invite Uncle Zhou back. He’ll manage the manor in Liang Village.”

Zhao Cai agreed and left. After taking a few steps, he thought for a moment and turned around to ask, “Madam, are we still going to buy seeds from a seed shop?”

Li Yu thought of the seeds in her space. “I’ll buy the seeds. Just prepare the manpower, farming tools, and cows.”

“Okay.” The clerk agreed and left.

Li Yu returned to the house and entered the space. She looked at the rice and corn seeds and calculated that it was more than enough to plant those few hundred acres of fields. After sending Ah Qing away, she would send the seeds to Liang Village.

After looking at the seeds, Li Yu came out of the space. Granny Yang came in with an invitation and said to Li Yu, “Madam, General Shen’s family invites you to a banquet.”

Li Yu thought to herself that Shen Zhong should be very busy these days. Did his family still have time to entertain guests?

“General Shen’s house? Is it Madam Wu?”

Granny Yang patted her head. “It’s my fault for not making it clear. It’s Madam Luo, the Madam of General Shen Yu. I heard that Madam Luo sent her youngest daughter back to get married.”

Li Yu opened the post and took a look. The date was the second day after Li

Qing’s departure. “Alright, remember the time and remind me on that day.”

“Yes.” After Granny Yang agreed, she thought for a moment and said, “Madam, Xing Hua is also at the age to be released. What are your plans?”

Li Yu nodded and said, “That’s right! A year passed in the blink of an eye. Xing Hua is already old enough to get married. Did Xing Hua mention to you that she was looking for someone?”

Granny Yang smiled and glanced at Xing Hua, who was sitting under the eaves of the porch doing needlework. “When we were talking together, I asked her. She said that she is unwilling to marry into someone else’s family and is willing to stay at home. I was thinking about the boys at home. Only Tiezhu is about the same age as her and hasn’t gotten married yet. What do you think about making them a couple?”

Tiezhu was loyal and honest, and Xing Hua had a gentle personality. The two of them were quite compatible.

“They have to suit each other! If they don’t like each other, it won’t be beautiful if they become a resentful couple.”

Granny Yang smiled excitedly and said, “If you agree, I’ll go and probe the two of them. Also, with Xing Hua getting married, you would be missing a girl in your house. I think the Han family’s Ling’er is not bad. What do you think?”

Li Yu smiled and said, “Han Ling is not bad either. Ask Han San if they can bear to part with her.”

Granny Yang smiled. “It’s the easiest to work beside you. How can they not bear

Li Yu said, “Once Han San returns to the city, we shall ask him.”

Granny Yang smiled and replied, “Yes, I’ll ask Xing Hua first.”

Li Yu looked at Granny Yang, who was walking towards the Xing Hua. Thinking about how Granny Yang had helped her manage her daily relationships in the past few years, she really felt much more at ease.

She also felt that she was much more alive than when she first came. She was not as rigid as before, like a soulless prop.

Two hours later, Ji Xiang returned home with the title deed and house deed and handed them to Li Yu. “Madam, the land near the capital is much more expensive than in Yunzhou. I spent 5,000 taels of silver to buy that piece of land, and it’s the price after the government office gave me a discount.”

Li Yu nodded. “That’s right! We bought the hot spring farm outside the East City. There are only more than ten acres of land and we spent 8,000 taels of silver. Ruyi and Zhao Cai went to buy people and farming tools. Go to the farm outside the East City and pick Uncle Zhou up.”

Ji Xiang thought for a moment and said, “Madam, Little Loach and the others have also grown up. I think we should bring them to Liang Village to learn from Uncle Zhou.”

Little Loach, Maizi, and the others were already 11 or 12 years old. In the past few years, they had learned martial arts from Ruyi and the others. They had learned most of what they needed to learn, but they were still a little lacking. It was time for them to learn some other knowledge.

“‘That’s good too. sena them to Llang village together. ‘Tell them. Go to the manor and bring some food for Old Master.”

“Aye! I’ll pick Uncle Zhou up first.” Ji Xiang left.

After Old Master Zhou divided the house, he locked up his place and moved the flowerbed to the hot spring manor. There were more and more varieties of flowers, and some people went to buy flowers. Old Master Zhou simply checked out of the shop in Flower and Bird City and set up a shed at the entrance of the manor to sell flowers. He had dozens of taels of silver in savings a year. He planted flowers on the manor and played chess. His life was carefree..
