Xiao Mulan was the first to discover Gu Lili.
Gu Lili withdrew her gaze and smiled, "Aunt Rou, Mulian, the village head is here to measure the land. Let me take you to see it."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yirou immediately put down her work and had Xiao Mulian push her out the door.
“Okay, Lili, let’s go, let’s go now!” Yu Yirou said happily.
From this day forward, he and his little magnolia will finally have their own land.
Soon, I will have my own little home again.
How could Yu Yirou not be happy about such a wonderful thing?
Gu Lili nodded, took out her purse from her waist, and handed two hundred taels of silver notes to Yu Yirou.
"Aunt Rou, take these two hundred taels. Consider it an advance on your monthly allowance," Gu Lili said softly.
Yu Yirou reached out and took the silver note, then had Xiao Mulian push her back.
"Lili, I'll shamelessly lend you this money first. Let's write an IOU before we go out," Yu Yirou said.
As Yu Yirou spoke, she gestured to Xiao Mulian to prepare the brush and ink.
Gu Lili quickly refused, saying, "Aunt Rou, it's too formal to write an IOU. You can keep the money."
Although Gu Lili hasn't formally learned mother-of-pearl inlay from Yu Yirou yet, Yu Yirou can be considered her teacher.
How could an apprentice possibly ask his master to write an IOU? It would be utterly absurd and laughable if word got out.
“No, you have to listen to me on this. I’ll feel more at ease accepting the money if we have a written IOU,” Yu Yirou said firmly.
Gu Lili thought for a moment and realized that if she didn't write an IOU, Yu Yirou would definitely feel uneasy.
Anyway, I didn't intend for her to pay me back, so it didn't matter whether I hit her or not.
If Yu Yirou can rest easy, then let her be.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go with Aunt Rou's suggestion."
When Yu Yirou saw that Gu Lili had agreed, the smile on her face finally relaxed.
Gu Lili originally thought that Yu Yirou would ask her to write the paper.
To Gu Lili's surprise, Yu Yirou's calligraphy was extremely elegant.
Fortunately, she didn't speak up, otherwise she would have been showing off her limited skills in front of Yu Yirou.
Looking at Yu Yirou's handwriting, Gu Lili couldn't help but sigh.
If her legs weren't disabled, she would definitely have a place of her own.
Yu Yirou wrote the IOU, pressed her fingerprint on it, and handed it to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili put the IOU into her spatial storage and then led the mother and daughter outside.
Because Yin Jiuchen also needed to buy land, they all went out together.
The village head pointed expertly to the wasteland west of Gu Lili's house and asked, "Madam Yu, what do you think? Is this place alright?"
This place isn't far from Gu Lili's house, about ten feet away.
Gu Lili looked over and saw that it was indeed not far, only three or four hundred meters away.
This is already the closest distance to Gu Lili's house, because all the other empty spaces belong to Gu Lili.
There's a stream nearby, and although there are houses on the other side of the stream, it's safe.
If Gu Lili's house is to be expanded in the future, Yu Yirou's courtyard will not seem so lonely.
However, it all depends on Yu Yirou's opinion.
Looking around, Yu Yirou thought it was indeed quite nice.
However, it seems that the road leading to Gu Lili's house and his own house still needs to be repaired.
Otherwise, this wheelchair would be difficult to use.
"Okay, this is the place. I'll have to trouble Uncle Lizheng then."
After watching Yu Yirou's episode, it was time to watch Yin Jiuchen's.
Yin Jiuchen immediately set his sights on the fertile fields opposite Gu Lili's house, which was right next to the academy.
Although there's a stream separating them from Gu Lili's house, once a bridge is built between the two courtyards, it will be just a few steps to Gu Lili's house.
After making their choices, the group went to Donghai Town to process the land deeds.
Once the land deed is completed, we can start preparing to choose an auspicious day to begin construction.
Because there was Madam Yu in the carriage, and they needed to pull her wheelchair, the group drove two horse-drawn carriages.
Fortunately, Gu Lili bought two carriages when she was in Jiangdu, otherwise they really wouldn't be enough for the time being.
After completing the land deed, Gu Lili parted ways with the village head and Chang'an.
Yu Yirou wanted to stroll around Donghai Town.
Gu Lili took the two of them to Baiweixuan for lunch, and then they strolled around.
After purchasing all the necessary items for the two of them, Gu Lili drove the carriage home.
When Gu Lili returned, she found that Gu Yun Chu had already gone home.
The kitchen was already filled with all sorts of ingredients, and Old Mrs. Li, Gu Chenxi, and the other women had already begun preparing dinner.
Even Lin Xiyao asked Mr. Yu for leave today to help pick vegetables.
Because of the farewell party for Yin Jiuchen, all the housework was stopped in the afternoon.
Seeing Gu Lili return, Lin Xiyao quickly waved to her.
"Lili, you're finally back! Come and see how we're going to cook this?" Lin Xiyao asked with a smile.
Gu Lili took a look and saw that Lin Xiyao had prepared several large radishes.
It can be marinated in advance and eaten with dinner tonight.
"Tonight's meal is bound to be greasy. Pickling radishes and serving them in a spicy and sour sauce will be just the right way to cut through the grease!" Gu Lili said.
Seeing Lin Xiyao, Gu Lili became curious. She had been back for three days and it seemed she hadn't seen Lord Lin yet.
"Yaoyao, where is Lord Lin? Why haven't we seen her?" Gu Lili asked curiously.
Could it be that he's afraid of Yin Jiuchen, which is why he's hiding?
But that shouldn't be the case, Lord Lin isn't that kind of person.
"My father went to Jiangbei Prefecture to pick up my mother. He'll probably take her sightseeing in Jiangbei Prefecture for a few days," Lin Xiyao guessed.
From the moment she arrived in Donghai Town, she began writing letters, inviting Madam Lin to come and experience the beautiful scenery and delicious food of Donghai Town.
After receiving more than a dozen letters from home, Madam Lin could no longer contain herself. She packed her bags and headed to Donghai Town.
However, Lin Xiyao is wrong about one thing.
Madam Lin and Lord Lin were not sightseeing in Jiangbei Prefecture; rather, Lord Lin was tied up with matters concerning Jiangbei Prefecture.
That's why he hasn't returned yet.
Gu Lili understood, and at the same time, she was very happy.
Gu Lili also wanted to see what kind of Madam Lin could have given birth to Lin Xiyao, who was so different from the women of this era.
The group chatted casually while they started cooking.
In just over two hours, a total of thirty or forty dishes were laid out on the table.
Gu Lili specifically asked Gu Yunchu and the others to put the four tables in the house together.
Everyone in the family should sit at one table; that's what makes it lively.
Gu Lili then sent someone to invite the village head's family and Uncle Zhang's family.
Looking at the table full of dishes, and then at all those familiar faces.
Yin Jiuchen felt an overwhelming pang of sorrow in his heart.
However, no matter how reluctant I am, the return date is set, and I am destined to leave.
