"What are you saying? We're all family. Besides, this is a long-term investment for me. There will definitely be high returns later. Think about it, isn't that the truth?"
"My family is in charge in the North, so I can do whatever I want here, right? Hehe."
“But even without us, Mianmian, you can still walk sideways…” Shen Zhiheng argued softly.
"How can they be the same? The feeling of relying on yourself versus having someone behind you is completely different, okay? It gives you confidence!"
To build up the northern border, the most essential thing is money. Shen Xingmian was afraid that his family would be unsure, so even though he couldn't spend the money for the time being, he still took out a stack of silver notes and several boxes of silver.
"These are just sitting idle in the space, so it's better to put them in everyone's hands and let them circulate, so as not to waste them."
Shen Zhiheng wanted to say "No, you mustn't," but then he thought that all this was for nothing, and that being too polite among family members would only make them seem distant.
It would be better to accept it directly, and then slowly save it up as a dowry for Mianmian when things improve in the future.
He was quite confident in developing the northern border region. There was no shortage of people here, and as long as those people were well taken care of, there was no worry about development.
“Alright, then Grandpa will accept it first. Then he can have someone set up some sheds and raise some cattle and sheep. Once it’s running smoothly, there won’t be any worries.”
Shen Xingmian was happy to see that he had rekindled his fighting spirit. She wasn't a miser who needed a lot of space to be happy.
If you distribute some of it and use it for good purposes, isn't that another kind of gain?
"If you encounter any more difficulties in the future, just tell me. I refuse to believe that there is any problem in this world that money and force cannot solve."
Shen Xingmian's tone was very arrogant, which, combined with her tender little face, made her look exceptionally cute, making the adults laugh heartily.
After resting for a while, Shen Xingmian took her grandfather back to her space to drive the harvester to process the corn stalks. Then she taught her grandfather how to plant potatoes. After he learned, she came out and then her father went in.
As she came out, she complained with some disdain, "Sigh, I wish the four of us could be inside together sometime. I used to be alone, and I had no idea that there were such limitations on space."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunting felt a pang of heartache; her child was suffering terribly in the other world.
So when I returned here and felt the warmth of family, I immediately and wholeheartedly accepted them.
As her mother, she absolutely couldn't let her daughter down in the future; she had to protect her precious child.
Shen Xingmian stayed by her mother's side for a short nap. After her maternal grandfather and the others finished planting, she would go in and release her supernatural power to make the potatoes and sweet potatoes grow as quickly as possible.
In her sleep, she suddenly sensed a change in energy, guessing that there might be a breakthrough in space, but this feeling was quickly dispelled by drowsiness.
When I let my maternal grandfather and paternal father out after they woke up, I saw that they were very excited and almost incoherent.
In the end, it was Father who made his meaning clear.
"Your space suddenly expanded just now, the land beneath your feet increased by many acres, and a mountain appeared in the distance!"
Luo Qi'an was usually calm, so it was rare for him to show such excitement.
Shen Xingmian immediately went back to check, and even tried to bring all three people in at the same time, and surprisingly succeeded!
It's like her wish came true, even though she had been thinking about it for a long time.
But it's good that it can be achieved, haha.
Ignoring her mother's surprised exclamation behind her, Shen Xingmian glanced at the land, nodded in satisfaction, and then teleported up the mountain.
It's amazing, the space seems to be changing according to her needs.
They were worried about not having a place to keep their animals, so they created this natural pasture for themselves. The grass is so lush that they don't need to grow their own anymore.
Shen Xingmian immediately divided the hilltop area and moved the animals there.
Small herbivores can be kept together without much harm to each other, but larger ones should be separated, otherwise they might fight and cause damage.
These things can be done with just a thought, and they'll all be done quickly.
Shen Xingmian hurried back to the warehouse to check, and saw that the area where time had stopped had more than doubled in size, so there was no need to worry about where to put the food for a while.
With the extra land, she decided to continue growing corn. Nutrition and such things are not as important as being full. She would think about other things after she was full.
The three of them were overjoyed to see Shen Xingmian return. They could not see much else, but the large expanse of land in front of them was enough to bring them joy.
"Should we plant that patch too? In the whole world, it's probably only here in Mianmian that we can still grow crops in the dead of winter."
Shen Zhiheng proudly put his hands on his hips, feeling quite pleased with himself.
"Plant! Get everything done tonight. If Grandpa has other things to do, leave this to us. We'll definitely finish the work before we go to sleep!"
Shen Xingmian was full of energy and not sleepy at all.
Her parents seemed to be in the same boat, and they were incredibly excited.
"No, nothing else is as important as this. Come on, let's get busy!" Shen Zhiheng was still excited as he jumped into the driver's seat.
Fortunately, the machine planting was fast, and before midnight, such a large area of land was already prepared. It was all thanks to Shen Xingmian who had collected a lot of diesel fuel; otherwise, even with the machine, they would have had to rely on manual labor.
After they went outside, although they were a little tired, they were all in high spirits and felt very satisfied.
Although these things cannot be told to outsiders, it is still very enjoyable to talk about them with family.
Especially when you feel the temperature outside, the thought of having a second, mysterious little home makes you even happier.
"It's late, everyone should get some rest. I'll try to ripen these things as quickly as possible. If I don't have time, I'll take the ones I bought earlier and eat them first."
If she didn't have enough reserves, she might actually be a little panicked right now, but there's really nothing to panic about.
Lying in bed, she was still too excited to sleep. Recalling what her mother had said during the day, she felt that the North was indeed backward.
The "Master Liu" that the group was talking about was just someone whose father had some connection with her maternal grandfather, yet she was surrounded by so many people, which showed that she really had no way to curry favor with the powerful.
If she knew that the person she was so desperately trying to curry favor with was just a junior whom her maternal grandfather looked down upon, she would have mixed feelings.
The thought that such people could bully female prisoners at will made her furious. When men made mistakes, their families suffered as well.
Having come this far, it's likely that all feelings have been worn away, which is truly pitiful.
She suddenly felt a pang of regret for not having followed the exile group a little longer, otherwise she could have seen the coldness and warmth of human nature more clearly.
