“The village chief would probably be too embarra.s.sed to tell Dafu the news. He would most likely discuss it with Lizheng. There were so many people in the village, and it wasn’t just our village that was told to open up barren land.
“Moreover, Sanfu is already such a high official. Who would dare to talk about this? It’ll be worse to not tell Dafu. No matter what, you have to tell him.”
Before she could finish her sentence, an aunt noticed Jiang Yue and Xue Yan walking by. She hurriedly smiled and said, “You’re back from town?”
If Jiang Yue and Xue Yan wanted to go home from the village, they would have to pa.s.s by Xiulan’s house. They just happened to walk to Xiulan’s house while they were discussing the barren land. When they heard this, they first responded with a smile and then politely called out to everyone.
Xiulan and the others all smiled. They even praised the two kids, “Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are the most polite people in the village. Just now, I saw your sister-in-law and the others go to the village entrance to see if you guys had returned.”
“We will let them know we are back.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan agreed again.
When they returned home, they told their family what they heard.
This matter had spread far and wide.
No matter what, it was a good thing to have a good harvest in the barren land.
“Our family won’t be able to buy any barren land for two silver,” said Xue Erfu with a smile.
“We should give them whatever they are worth. Otherwise, even if we buy them at such a low price, I’ll be happy with the progress.” Xue Dafu chuckled.
“That’s right, that’s right. Back then, two pieces of silver were considered a sky-high price. At that time, everyone thought that the barren land was difficult to serve and couldn’t grow anything!
“Didn’t we open up barren land in the past as well? It’s all thanks to the owner of that shop who carefully collected the seeds and sold them everywhere that we managed to make a living.
“Our lives improved because of that. We have all lived a hard life, so we won’t do such a heartless thing and undersell them. If we buy land again, we will buy it at a reasonably valuable price.” Liu Guixia smiled and agreed.
After chatting for a while, Liu Guixia, Yu Hongyan, and the others went to prepare dinner. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan helped to take care of Xue Shi.
Xue Bai and Shoushou were still too young, so they didn’t need to take care of them for the time being.
On the other side…
Doctor Shen sat in the carriage and followed Zhen Dalang to the door of his courtyard.
Although Zhen Dalang’s family lived in the county, his family background was very ordinary. He was just an ordinary person. His house was quite small. In a small alley in the area where many ordinary people lived, a carriage could be seen trying to fit in.
Da Yong heard that this was Zhen Dalang’s house and stopped the carriage. He then helped his master out of the carriage.
Zhen Dalang was also sitting outside his house, waiting for Doctor Shen to arrive. At this time, he quickly got down from the carriage and helped Doctor Shen down. He shouted, ” Mother, open the door quickly. Doctor Shen is here!”
“Welcome!” Zhen Dalang’s wife hurriedly opened the door. She looked quite fl.u.s.tered.
They thought that Zhen Dalang’s wife was so fl.u.s.tered because she saw another man.
Once the door opened, Zhen Dalang hurriedly invited Doctor Shen inside.
A life was at stake, so Doctor Shen rushed in.
Da Yong tied the carriage to the side and carried the large medicine box as he followed them in.
After entering, he didn’t see Zhen Dalang’s children, nor did he hear their voices. Logically speaking, Zhen Dalang’s children were as old as Doctor Shen’s, so they should be at home and playing around. Where were they?
idn’t go to school, so they should be playing at home.
