When a problem arises, we must find the source.
The old man was stubborn and old-fashioned, but convincing him was easy as long as you found the right point.
Xie Tuoyu noticed the eagerness in Yi Mu's eyes.
He didn't want to dampen Yi Mu's enthusiasm, but even after bringing in so many negotiation experts, he still couldn't get the old man to budge.
The mule doesn't understand anything and just went straight to the old man's house; it will probably be kicked out.
Even if we take a step back and say that there are too many problems with this place.
Even if Yi Mu manages to persuade the stubborn old man, there are still countless other problems to solve.
And this pampered young master of his, born into the spotlight, can he withstand the cold stares of others?
Xie Tuoyu was completely unaware that he was acting like a mother hen, thinking things through and considering every aspect.
He gently advised Yimu to give up the idea: "The old man is sleeping at this time, and I doubt anyone will open the door if you go there."
Yi Mu was unaware of his thoughts; he only knew that he couldn't have come all this way for nothing.
"Then take me to see the nearby orchards."
Xie Tuoyu sighed inwardly; everyone else who came tried their best to avoid being lazy.
This guy is really something else, always causing trouble.
"Okay, watch where you're going. There are lots of bugs in the grass, and you might get bitten all over if you're not careful."
The orchards are all concentrated on the south side of the village.
A vast expanse of apple trees, each covered with a paper bag to protect them from insects and promote photosynthesis.
Besides apples, there were also grapes, pears, and early-ripening peaches, all of which had been picked, leaving only lush green leaves.
Xie Tuoyu picked a bunch of grapes, plucked two from the top, and gave the rest to Yi Mu.
"This variety is particularly sweet, and the white stuff on it is frost, not pesticide."
Seeing Xie Tuoyu tilt his head back and accurately throw two grapes into his mouth, Yi Mu followed suit and tried to catch them with his mouth as well.
It fell to the ground with a thud.
Yi Mu: "..." Disobedient grape.
Xie Tuoyu suppressed a laugh and told him seriously, "This requires practice. I'll teach you when I have time tomorrow."
For some reason, Yi Mu couldn't stand being called Third Young Master.
"My name is not Third Young Master."
Xie Tuoyu paused, then smiled tentatively, "How about Yi Mu?"
Yi Mu nodded, walked past him, and looked at the watermelon patch around the perimeter.
Seeing that he had stopped on that patch of ground, Xie Tuoyu bent down to pick a watermelon.
Yi Mu stopped him, his words laced with teasing: "You're still working for someone else, is it really okay to betray your own people?"
Xie Tuoyu smiled and said, "Just pay me if you pick them. I didn't steal any."
"This melon is too hot. Let's take it back and put it in the well water to cool it down. Should we continue on our way?"
The orchard stretched as far as the eye could see. Yi Mu glanced around and realized that the crops were all ripening.
We should wait until the fruit and crops have been harvested before acquiring the land, at which point the price will be much lower. During this period, we should focus on working on the farmers' mindset.
"Let's go back." He ate the sweet grapes and walked back along the forest path that Xie Tuoyu had specially trodden.
Sang Wen ran out of the village chief's house crying.
Her childhood sweetheart—the village chief's youngest son—actually got involved with Chunlan, a notorious troublemaker in the village.
Chunlan dropped out of school at a young age and stopped studying. She wore heavy makeup all day and frequented all sorts of shady places like bars with some hooligans.
More than a dozen men would come into her house every day, and the villagers all said that her behavior was immoral.
Sang Wen doesn't know why Li Qi, who is shy and doesn't even dare to look at other girls, ended up in that woman's bed.
She was both sad and angry, burying her head and wiping away her tears as she ran around recklessly, accidentally bumping into a wall.
Yi Mu had eaten the grapes all the way back, and there were only two left in his hand.
He gave Xie Tuoyu a ball, and, unwilling to give up, tilted his head back, wanting to make a high throw.
This time he succeeded, but before he could even rejoice, a heavy blow from behind sent the grape flying out of his mouth.
He also staggered forward two steps due to losing his balance.
