After dinner, Cheng Shun asked to go and see the melon seeds and grape seedlings.
Jiang took her two sons and her little grandson with her, leaving only Gu Xuelan and her sister-in-law Cheng Yue at home.
"Ayue, when does Shanshui plan to marry you? He's building a house and buying land!"
After everyone left, Gu Xuelan joked while washing the dishes.
"Sister-in-law, you're wrong. When Shanshui planned to build a house in our village, he didn't intend to marry me."
Cheng Yue was frying meatballs when she heard this.
"So you mean he bought the land in order to marry you? That's right. Our father has always been obsessed with land and he likes it. Shanshui has grasped his father-in-law's thoughts."
Gu Xuelan smiled.
"Okay, if you say so, then so be it! Sister-in-law, do you know how much a watermelon costs in the market?"
Cheng Yue changed the subject and asked.
"Last summer, I heard from my boss that melons are cheaper now than in previous years. More and more people in Daqi are growing them. But the big, sweet ones still fetch a good price. About two hundred coins each! Smaller ones fetch less. But that was last year's price. I wonder if it will change this year."
Gu Xuelan thought for a moment and said.
"Tsk tsk, sister-in-law, at this price, our family will be rich! Just thinking about it makes me happy. But sister-in-law, when dad asked you just now, why didn't you buy the land? Our embroidery shop is cooperating with Shanshui, and the two of us don't have to pay for it."
Cheng Yue asked curiously.
"Don't we have two hundred acres of land at home? Besides, your eldest brother and I can't manage the land, we can't get the seeds, and we can't manage the future sales. If I buy the land, won't it make my parents worry about it? Am I getting a free ride?"
Gu Xuelan said.
"Sister-in-law, you're not right to say that. What do you mean by cheap? We're a family and we don't have any different opinions. Dad has already asked, so I think you can buy it."
Cheng Yue said sincerely.
Anyway, their family's land, plus the land bought by Shanshui and Cheng Wen's, is already several hundred acres. If her sister-in-law buys a few hundred acres more, she will be able to take care of it all.
"I already have an embroidery shop. Dad said that it belongs to me, Mom, and you, and it's not counted in the family income. How could I be so greedy and ask for more land? I know Ah Wu is doing it for Feifei. He's worried that when Feifei comes back and sees three women in our family running the embroidery shop without her, she'll feel unbalanced. So, I won't join in the fun."
Gu Xuelan said with a smile.
Cheng Yue was stunned. Oh, it turned out that her sister-in-law was more understanding of people's hearts and completely understood the psychology of her younger brothers and sisters!
"Sister-in-law, you're so kind! However, I think Second Sister-in-law will definitely not care. It's Second Brother, you fool, who's just imagining things. Don't worry, Sister-in-law, our embroidery shop will definitely make as much money as selling melons!"
Cheng Yue really thinks Gu Xuelan is good.
Perhaps because Gu Xuelan has no maternal family, she regards the Cheng family as her own home and the Cheng family members as her own relatives from the bottom of her heart, and considers her family members in many things.
"With you here, I believe! We now have two embroiderers, both of whom I personally trained when I was at Jinxiu Manor. One of them quit her job to have a child, and the other quit because of illness. Now the pregnant one doesn't need to feed the baby anymore, and the sick one has recovered. They are also looking for work!"
