On the Cui family's side, Madam Zhou, the old lady of the Cui family, did not delay. The day after she left the Paradise Dessert Shop, she had someone come and handle the transfer of ownership with He Yusheng.
Having acquired five shops and five acres of fertile land, He Yusheng was in a slightly pleasant mood as he went to find Anle.
Knocking on Anle's door, He Yusheng handed her the land deeds and house deeds without saying a word.
Anle was taken aback, and took the stack of papers that He Yusheng pushed towards her, asking, "What's this?"
"This was to pay off debts, but it's not worth much now."
Anle looked through them for a moment, then looked enlightened. "These are the houses and land that the Cui family used to pay off their debts?"
"Yes, it's yours now."
Anle paused, then pointed to her nose in surprise.
"Huh? Mine?"
He Yusheng smiled and said, "Well, didn't you pay off my debts before? Now, I'm paying them off."
Anle shook her head and clicked her tongue, "You really know how to distinguish things clearly. You've been working for free here at my house all these days."
"Didn't I not pay you your wages either?"
"Taking me in, providing food and lodging, and giving me a place to stay is enough, and all of this should have been yours anyway."
Anle accepted it without further ado, "Alright, since you've said so, I'll accept it without hesitation. I'll take a look around these shops and fields when I have time."
"This is only part of it; we still need two more shops. More will be delivered later."
Anle blinked, tilted her head curiously, and asked, "Are the houses and shops in Jincheng really this cheap? Can you get so many shops for 1,500 taels of silver?"
"In the past, this would have been impossible, but now that things have changed, these shops have become worthless."
Anle smiled and said nothing, only muttering to herself that sooner or later she would make every inch of land in Jincheng precious, making it difficult to even get a foothold!

In the Cui family's house, inside Old Madam Cui's room, Cui Zhiling tentatively spoke up, "Grandmother, I heard that you gave that boy a few shops."
Zhou glanced at him sideways, "Who told you that?"
Cui Zhiling smiled awkwardly and touched her nose. "Don't worry about who told me. Grandmother, is our Cui family out of money?"
Zhou, trying to save face, scolded, "Nonsense."
Cui Zhiling pursed her lips.
"Then why can't our Cui family pay the money that the kid owes us?" Isn't it because we don't have the money?
"Naturally, it's because the shops in Jincheng are no longer available for sale. Many merchants who have rented shops from our Cui family are no longer planning to renew their contracts with us."
This shop is just sitting idle anyway, so I might as well use it to pay off the debt and give it to him.
Look around Jincheng, which shop can still thrive these days? Shops have become worthless; naturally, they're just used to appease him.”
"But Grandmother, what will happen to our Cui family without the shops? What will we eat and drink in the future?"
"There's no way we can survive here in Jincheng anymore. I'm thinking of selling all these shops and farmland, and then the Cui family can move to another place."
"Jincheng's fate is sealed!" She had indeed had this thought all along, but she was simply unable to act on it.
Because the Cui family's entire fortune was in Jincheng, and more importantly, because they had no money left.
If they could really sell off all the shops, fields, and houses in this mansion and get the money, they would be able to leave this place.
“Really? Grandmother!” Cui Zhiling’s eyes lit up and she suggested, “Then Grandmother, let’s go to Hongcheng and settle down there.”
Isn't the Wei family there?
"My mother is on good terms with Madam Wei, so we have someone to rely on in Hongcheng." Moreover, she can see Brother Jingyue more often.
No more hassle of traveling from Jincheng to Hongcheng.
Living in the same city as someone you like sounds exciting and thrilling.
Just as Cui Zhiling was getting excited, Zhou poured cold water on her heart.
"If we really do move, it will be to Baicheng."
"At least my family is there to protect me over there." Although her Cui family had fallen out of favor with the Bai City Lord's family and been abandoned by them, her family was still in Bai City.
If she goes there, her brother should be able to help her out, and the Cui family won't be reduced to a state of destitution and helplessness.
Cui Zhiling's smiling face froze.
"Huh? Grandmother, what...did you say? Go to Baicheng?"
"Yes, once we get there, with my family taking care of us, life in the Cui family will be better. If we can establish good marriage alliances, that would be even better for the Cui family." There are quite a few girls in the Cui family.
We must make the best use of them and help the Cui family build some connections, since these girls are all approaching marriageable age soon.
The best time is only these few years.
She also needs to hurry up and find some connections. When the time comes, she can ask her family to help her make connections and make some connections. This will definitely be able to bring the Cui family back to life.
However, what's troubling her right now is the house, land, and residence.
The Cui family had a deep-rooted foundation and had left behind a considerable fortune, including more than ten houses.
In addition, there were twenty shops and one hundred acres of fertile land.
If all of them could be sold, it would generate a considerable amount of travel expenses.
Even after deducting travel expenses, there would still be a considerable amount left, which could be used to support the Cui family's future livelihood.
"Grandmother, what will happen to Brother Jingyue and me if we get to Baicheng? Won't we never see each other again?"
Baicheng is so far away from here, I don't want to go there.
Zhou sighed, "Right now, even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't move. You're so impulsive."
This matter is still uncertain. Let's talk about it again when the Cui family has sold off all their assets.
I'm putting all my family's assets up with the brokerage firm now, hoping to escape this dangerous place, Jincheng.

settle down.
Yu Rong, who had been gone for half a month, finally returned. The news he brought back left An Le with mixed feelings of joy and worry. He was happy that some building materials could be obtained, but construction teams like these were hard to find in Israel.
Just as Yu Rong said, the Islail Palace is different from other places. The existence of the Islail Palace Castle was unknown to anyone, and the legend was always taken as fact.
That castle was such a magical place; even if it was damaged, it would automatically repair itself, as if it were supported by some kind of power.
In the past, Anle would never have believed such an unbelievable thing.
But ever since she acquired this rural system space, she has truly come to believe that the world is vast and full of wonders.
