"Um!"
Cheng Shun supported his hands on his knees, looked at Cheng Wen's family, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he looked at Cheng Wu again.
"I have no objection!"
Cheng Wu shrugged.
When he came home from one trip, he found that his sister had a new skill to make money. He couldn't figure out whether he had not cared enough about his sister before, or whether his sister had become a different person because the man named Lu in the town dumped her years ago. He just wanted to know that this fat girl was his sister.
As for who will be the housekeeper, he really has no objection.
With his elder brother being like this and his parents being in good health, it is estimated that the family business will not be divided in the next 10 to 20 years. He has no objection whether his mother, eldest sister-in-law or younger sister is the manager.
He was even glad that it wasn't his stingy and bad-tempered father who was the housekeeper.
At least his sister is the housekeeper now, and she won't nag him about how much silver he gave when he entered the yamen.
"Fat girl is good at making money, smart, and good at being the head of the family, good at being the head of the family!"
Jiang naturally agreed.
"Okay! If that's the case, then it's settled."
Cheng Shun was very satisfied that there was no objection to his speech this time. With a wave of his hand, he decided on this action, which would be included in the family tree and regarded as a legend by future generations.
"Dad, you didn't even ask me if I was willing!"
Cheng Yue said.
"You don't want to?"
Cheng Shun glanced at him, meaning, "Don't you want to see me punish you?"
"Haha, I do, I do."
Cheng Yue surrendered immediately.
It's so tiring to have a violent dad. I have to be careful with my jokes.
Of course the housekeeper is willing!
She likes the feeling of being the boss!
"Ahem, since everyone thinks I'm a good housekeeper, then I'll tell you what I think!"
Cheng Yue put the cash box on the stool next to him, coughed twice in a formal manner, and began to speak.
"First, I want to explain the purpose of these five hundred taels of silver. It's the same as what I just said: to buy land. From what I've learned, in the villages near us, the best fields are twelve taels per mu, the second-best eight taels, and the third-best four taels. Land is divided into two grades: the best ten taels, the second-best five taels. I also learned about a type of barren hillside, wasteland, that only costs one tael of silver per mu. We have a large area of it in Xinghua Village, and I want to buy that large piece of wasteland. I estimate it's over two hundred mu. If we buy it all at once, we can get it with two hundred taels of silver."
"With the remaining three hundred taels, I plan to buy thirty acres of inferior farmland and another ten acres of inferior land."
Cheng Yue told her plan.
"What are you going to do with the wasteland? Also, why don't you buy something better instead of something inferior?"
Jiang asked.
"Pang Ya, the weather has been good in recent years, and the crops have been pretty good. I think it's better to buy some better land."
Cheng Shun also said.
Gu Xuelan and her husband and Cheng Wu were not very familiar with farming, so they had no idea what was going on and did not interrupt.
"Dad, Mom, didn't you just let me be the head of this household? If you trust me, then don't ask so many questions, okay? Of course, I can tell you what I'm going to do with this wasteland. I plan to use it to grow fruit. Of course, I won't plant it right away. Anyway, I'll just buy it and leave it there until I find the chance to plant it. Besides, even if we bought good land, you two won't be able to handle it, right?"
Cheng Yue said.
"But Fatty, my dear, you bought some wasteland, and it will be included in your tax bill."
Jiang said worriedly.
