Chapter 714 Chapter 716. Come again
Gu Letian worked silently. Now he had no interest in the people and things around him. To him, being free from worries was just a way of getting by.
Gradually, more and more people came to the market, and several groups of people had come to look at the stalls.
Gu Letian was not good at talking, so he quietly retreated to the back of the stall, leaving Boss Yu to take the lead in greeting people.
Zeng Dawang was in the same situation as him, so he squeezed next to him and talked about his parents.
"If your life gets better in the future, you can raise some money and go back to visit. Maybe there are other people at home."
Gu Letian glanced at him and said nothing.
Zeng Dawang didn't care and continued, "If you don't want to go back, just live a good life, save money for a few years, then find a wife and have a few more children, which can be regarded as the continuation of your Gu family's incense.
It's not that I'm being harsh, but you all fled the famine back then, and even if you were lucky enough to survive, you can't protect yourself now. What good will it do even if you find your way back? Why don't you just live a good life on your own?"
If he had a choice between these two paths, Zeng Dawang would definitely not choose to go back. The long journey would surely cost a lot of money, and if he really had the ability to do so, he could live a good life.
Gu Lehuan stared blankly at the pedestrians on the street and selectively ignored the people talking next to him.
He had heard such words too many times, and they only meant the same two things over and over again.
Of course he wanted to go back, but he didn't have a household registration before, and he hid in the mountains with Boss Yu and the others, so he couldn't get any information.
Now that he is a registered person and can enter and leave the county openly, can I ask around?
"Le Tian, come and help me string these coins together," Boss Yu stuffed all the coins he had just received into his hands, "Don't string too many together, ten at a time, otherwise I won't be able to count them."
Gu Lehuan sat there counting coins silently. Zeng Dawang had been performing a one-man show for so long that he felt it was boring. He moved to Lai San's side and followed the other miscellaneous things that Lai San was talking about.

Jin Qianqian found that since everyone bought land, she received more visiting cards.
The design drawings had already been put out there, so the masters only had to build according to the styles above. The interior layout was naturally up to them.
Not only did these people send people to keep an eye on the masters on the construction site, they also inquired about the people around them.
"I'm sorry to bother you today and delay your business." Ever since her niece got engaged to Gu Yi, Mrs. Wu felt that she was closer to Jin Qianqian than others, and spoke more casually.
As for the fact that Wu Haicong had not been treating her well during this period, she did not care. Instead of giving it to a few concubines, it would be better to help her niece.
Jin Qianqian said with a smile, "You came here in such a hurry, there must be something important, right?"
Otherwise, there would not be a need to send a visiting card in the morning and go directly to the door in the afternoon.
I don’t know where Wu Houshi learned this rule, but he always acts like this.
"Madam Gu, it's nothing important," Madam Wu naturally heard her hidden meaning, but she was always thick-skinned. "Look, our master also bought a piece of land with Master Gu."
"I know this. Many adults have bought it. What's the matter? Could it be that Mrs. Wu doesn't agree and wants me to return it?" Jin Qianqian joked.
"How can that be possible?" Mrs. Wu sat up straight. "I'm here to beg you, aren't I?"
Jin Qianqian, "I'd like to hear more details."
"Madam Gu, we are relatives, and I won't beat around the bush. I also want to buy some land. Is it feasible?" After spending some time together, Wu Houshi knew that Jin Qianqian was not the kind of person who liked to beat around the bush, so she spoke directly.
"Didn't Lord Wu already buy several acres of land? How come it's not enough?" Jin Qianqian looked at her in surprise.
"Hey, Madam Gu, you don't know how difficult it is for a family like ours. Although my master has bought so much land, it's all public property. Although I have three legitimate sons, I also have illegitimate sons and daughters. I have to make plans for my own children."
Mrs. Wu Hou had a generous dowry, but her three children were still young. As a mother, she always wanted to give them the best, so naturally she would not complain about having too much.
Unlike Jin Qianqian, who is wealthy and has no troubles in the backyard.
Jin Qianqian, "You should know that the best seats are basically booked.
Besides, you should go to Prefect Wang to buy the land, not come to me. I can’t take care of this mess.”
"Of course I know that. Magistrate Wang's place has been very crowded these days. It's hard to find a plot of land around the land you have fenced off."
Jin Qianqian, "...then you went to the wrong place?"
Madam Wu leaned forward slightly in the direction of Jin Qianqian, "I know all this, but I don't dare to covet the land in the middle.
I can't win even if I argue with them, so I just want to try your way and see if you have any good ideas."
Jin Qianqian was a little impressed. As the lady of the house and the younger sister of a local wealthy businessman, she did have some foresight.
She has already thought of things that others have not yet understood.
"Do you want to buy land in a more remote area?"
"It doesn't matter if it's in the right place or not, as long as it's practical." Mrs. Wu said with a smile, "I think such a large-scale construction in that area will definitely boost the surrounding areas, so I thought it would be cost-effective to buy some land and build some yards.
Of course, it's not just me. My Tian'er is holding her mother's dowry, it would be great if she could also buy some property."
Jin Qianqian, "You have a very smart plan."
Hou Tianer is already engaged to Gu Yi, so they are considered a family.
Because of this relationship, Jin Qianqian would never let her own people suffer any loss.
"Aren't we real relatives? If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to ask this question." Mrs. Wu smiled a little flatteringly.
Jin Qianqian, "I'm really scared of you.
I just happened to have drawn a new topographic map of that area. I'll mark two places for you. Then you can go to Prefect Wang to buy the land!"
Just after sending the person away, the concierge received another visiting card, and Jin Qianqian asked her subordinates to reply.
The cake is so small and everyone wants to have a piece of it, but she can't make it happen even if she tries.
The local major families also reacted quickly. When they had almost divided up the land, the rest had already been taken into their pockets.
If you really want to buy a property there, you can only look for a place that is a little more remote like Mrs. Wu did. But not everyone is so contented. Jin Qianqian didn't want to take on the task herself, so she simply rejected them all at the beginning.
Gu Wenheng was also counting the men and preparing to take them to check around Yi Province.
This time, he not only wanted to know if there was anyone secretly disobeying his orders, but he also wanted to control the current situation in each city.
Based on the records that were handed in by his subordinates, he couldn't fully believe it.
