Chapter 29: Planning to Change Island

"Oh, so that's the case. Fine then, I'll leave these to my uncle to take care of."

Uncle Su, who was fishing at sea for the first time, suddenly realized something and quickly cleaned up the seaweed on the fishing net and prepared to put the fishing net on the awning of the boat to dry.

After Su Qian helped to level the floor, he returned to the cabin with Su Xi and others who were waiting on the beach.

The next day, at daybreak, Uncle Su called Gu Luyun at the door of the stone house.

Su Qian finished his practice and regulated his breathing, responded, and after washing up, he went with him to the wasteland in the center of the island.

Su Baiquan, who was distributing wasteland not far away, saw Su Qian and the others coming and stepped forward and said, "Qian and Acheng are here! Come over here, this is where you two are going to reclaim wasteland."

He led Su Qian and the others to the edge of the wasteland, near the woods, pointed to two large pieces of land and spoke to them.

Su Qian frowned slightly, "Uncle Quan, are you sure this is the wasteland allocated to us?"

The wasteland in front of us is too close to the forest, so it is shaded and not exposed to the sun. In addition, small animals often come in and out near the forest, and the crops grown there are easily destroyed.

It seems that they did this on purpose because I rejected their proposal yesterday, right?

Sure enough, Su Boquan frowned and said, "This allocation was decided by drawing lots, so..."

Drawing lots? My family didn’t know when I was drawing lots!

Su Qian glanced at the wasteland and said calmly, "Okay, then you guys can slowly open up the wasteland! Second Uncle, do you want to go fishing?"

In that case, she might as well not cultivate this wasteland!

It would be a waste of time to cultivate this wasteland, so there is no need to waste effort!

The second uncle of the Su family took a look at the wasteland allocated to his family, then looked at his niece who didn't even turn back, sighed, and left with her.

"Ah Qian, what's going on? Why are you back?"

On the way, they met Gu Luyun, who was holding a hoe and leading the dragon and phoenix fetus.

She asked Su Qian in surprise, "What happened?"

"It's okay, I just think there's no need to open up that wasteland! Let's stay on this island for a while, and after a while, I'll find a way to take you away from here!"

Su Qian said lightly.

Gu Luyun glanced at Su's second uncle and roughly guessed what was going on.

She nodded gently, "Okay, whatever Ah Qian says is fine!"

The second uncle of the Su family said cheerfully, "Sister-in-law, we have a fishing boat, so we can earn the 20 taels of silver for the head tax even if we don't open up the wasteland. Don't worry!"

"Well, Uncle, let's go, call Brother Ah He, we'll go fishing, and then sell it in Haiping Town!"

Su Qian smiled at Gu Luyun, "Mom, take Yi'er and Mu'er back with you! I'll go find out when I have time if we can settle down on the land as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Su Qian took the second uncle and his two brothers from the Su family to the seaside. She steered the boat and let them cast nets to catch fish.

Afterwards, they took the boat full of catch to the fishing shop in Haiping Town to sell it.

As the sun was setting, the second uncle of the Su family held the three or four taels of silver in his hand and said excitedly, "Ah Qian, did we earn four taels of silver today? Am I dreaming?"

Su Qian, who was rowing the boat, couldn't help but laugh, "Second Uncle, you are not dreaming, you really have lost so much."

In fact, based on today's gains, if she were to sell it on the market, the price would be higher.

This means that the fishing company also made a small profit from it.

But since I couldn’t withdraw cash from my own trading market, I could only sell it to the fishing company.

"Dad, if we earn four taels a day, wouldn't that be forty taels in ten days, four hundred taels a month, and over ten thousand taels a year?"

Su He counted on his fingers with shining eyes.

Su Qian: “…”

Which teacher taught me this arithmetic?

You taught me very well. Don’t teach me again next time!

After arriving at the island, Uncle Su cleaned up the fishing nets and dried them out, then walked back to the stone house with the fish and shrimp they had specially left behind.

"Ah Qian, keep these four taels of silver for now. Uncle will return the remaining six taels to you in two days."

The second uncle of the Su family handed the silver in his hand to Su Qian and whispered, "Second uncle knows that this fishing boat is also yours, and the fishing net is also yours. This silver should also be yours. You take this money first, and wait for the second uncle to return the ten taels of silver before talking about the fishing boat."

Su Qian did not take the silver from his second uncle, and said with a bit of amusement, "Second uncle, you keep this silver! I told you at the beginning that you don't need to pay back the ten taels of silver. And this fishing boat, although I bought it, you can use it if you want, I don't need this little silver!"

"But……"

Uncle Su wanted to say something.

Su Qian stopped him and said, "That's it. You have a lot of things to buy now. When you save up some money and buy a fishing boat, you can talk about paying back the money later."

Then she turned around and walked towards the stone house.

Tonight, she plans to go to the sea again!

The space in the jade pendant was empty, and she needed to store some seafood.

Those few hundred taels of silver seemed like a lot, but when she went to Haiping Town to inquire today, she found that she couldn't even buy a bigger house in the town!

As for finding a way to return to the mainland, I would have to stay on the island for at least two years before I could afford the money.

However, there is another way, which is to spend some money to make arrangements with the government, so that you can go to other islands!

There are many large and small islands on the sea of ​​Dongli Country. Some of them are not inhabited yet. You can apply to visit those islands that no one has ever been to.

Su Qian thought moving to another island was a good idea.

At least without the interference from the Su clan members, no one would morally blackmail me.

He could also live freely with Gu Luyun and the others for two years, and then after arriving on land, he would find a way to find out the news about General Su.

After returning to the stone house, Su Qian told Gu Luyun the news he had heard today about changing islands.

She thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll listen to Ah Qian in everything. Since the Su clan wants to confiscate our things and use the reclaimed land to tie us up, we don't need to show any mercy!"

Then, she looked at Uncle Su and the others, "Are you planning to change islands with us, or are you planning to stay here?"

Su Qian also looked at them with the same eyes.

"To exchange the island, we need ten taels of silver per person. We don't have that much silver!"

The second aunt of the Su family was entangled, "But, if you and your wife were to go to that deserted island with no people by yourself, my wife and I would never be at ease!"

"Yes, and there's an ocean between us. If we get separated, I won't be able to play with Ah-Qian anymore! Dad, Mom, let's go with Ah-Qian and the others!"

"Uncle, Aunt, if you are willing to go to another island together, I will pay for it!"

Su Qian looked at them softly and said, "Well, you guys think about it and give me your answer tomorrow."

She could see that they also wanted to go, but she still had some concerns, so she gave them some time to think about it!
