Yan Bingfa nodded, "Yes, yes, thank you, Li Zheng."
Zhou and Yan Bingfa had left with the village chief. Her money was now temporarily with Zhou, who had to go back to get it. The land purchase had cost her 20 taels of silver, and the handling fee was probably another tael, leaving her with only 19 taels of silver. With her family gone and the cloth hanging out to dry, she had nothing else to do, so she started trying to make firewood and charcoal. It should be about the same this morning, so she should be able to finish it by midnight.
When she was sealing the mud in the backyard, she heard someone coming from the front. She originally thought it was Zhou who had returned, but after a while, the whole family came to the backyard, even Tian and Zhang followed.
She looked at the whole family in surprise, "Why are they all here? Did Dad call them over to help with the land reclamation? Dad is being too impatient."
She saw with sharp eyes that Tian pushed Yan Dashan and seemed to have something to say.
"Sister-in-law, just say whatever you want to say. If my brother doesn't say it, you can say it yourself. There is nothing wrong with us being a family." Could it be that she wants to borrow money?
Tian didn't say anything, but Erhe at the side spoke up. When he spoke, he glanced at Zhou and his wife and said, "Chunxiao, it's a good thing that you bought such a large piece of wasteland to grow cotton, but what will happen if the money is used up? Here's what we're thinking: why don't you give the 13 acres here to me and my eldest brother, and give us 2 acres each. We'll pay for it ourselves, and then we'll grow cotton with you."
Zhang beside her also nodded at her.
Chunxiao smiled, watching her second brother's face turn red with embarrassment, a rare sight. She glanced at the others, "I have such a large area of land, and I rely on your help. I've already given you money to buy any land. When it's cleared, you and your eldest brother can go pick out the land. Each of you can pick two acres, and the harvest will be yours. Don't worry, I keep my word, but..." She smiled and glanced at everyone, "If the harvest is not good, don't blame me for your work in vain."
After hearing her words, everyone became happy, and Zhou was also laughing.
"Little sister, what are you talking about? Even if we don't have the land, we will still help you farm it. We just want to reduce your burden." Tian looked at the pile of earth next to Chunxiao and knew that she was burning charcoal again. "That's why we are here. Now that it's settled, Dashan and I will go chop firewood."
