Chapter 227 Future

Zhou Shuren changed his position and lay down. His butt was a little sore from the bumps. "Let's go back to the Yang family tomorrow. The Zheng family will leave in seven days. The Yang family's boys have learned martial arts since they were young. There are people in the northwest who look after them. As long as they are willing to work hard, the Yang family can fight for a bright future."

Zhulan understood that Zhou Shuren had given Yang Jiamou a chance to fight for his future. "Dad doesn't say it, but in his heart he also hopes that his nephews can make a name for themselves. Tell him tomorrow, he will be very happy."

Early the next morning, Zhou Laoer drove the ox cart, and Zhulan and Zhou Shuren returned to Yang's house.

Mr. Yang and Mrs. Sun were peeling corn kernels in the yard. Zhou Shuren followed his father-in-law into the house to talk. Mrs. Sun took her daughter by the hand and said, "You just came here during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Changyi sent us medicinal wine the day before. Why are you here again today? What happened?"

Zhulan picked up the corn cob and peeled the corn, "Mom, this is great news."

"What good news?"

Zhulan said while peeling corn: "This all started when our family wanted to buy land..."

Zhulan did not mention the Zheng family's house and promise, she only said that the Zhou family was related to the Zheng family and that there was a close relationship between them, so the Zheng family could take care of him when he went to the army.

Sun grinned after hearing this, "It's indeed a good thing. It's much safer to have someone watching over you. Your father doesn't say it, but in his heart he still hopes that his descendants can bring honor to the family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the Yang family men practice martial arts since they were young."

The old man had bad luck back then and was caught up in war. It was fate and the old man hoped that his descendants would be able to succeed. They didn't have the opportunity before, but now the opportunity has come.

Sun patted the corn on her body and said, "I'll call your eldest brother and ask him to buy some good food. At noon, Shuren and your father will have a few drinks."

Zhulan hurriedly said, "Mom, we will be home soon. The Zheng family is going to the county government to handle the transfer of ownership today. They will come to deliver the deed at noon."

Sun said with regret: "Is that so? Then I won't keep you here."

Sun was also worried about the fact that her daughter had bought so much land. Her daughter and her family were going to Pingzhou, so how would she take care of the land?

Zhulan told Zhou Shuren about his plan. As for why the Yang family didn't need to take care of it, firstly, Sunjia Village and Lijia Village were too far away and inconvenient; secondly, the Yang family really had no shortage of money. They just didn't buy more land in order not to attract attention.

So considering all aspects, Li's parents' family is the most suitable.

Sun smiled and said, "The son-in-law's idea is indeed good. It helps the in-laws without hurting the relationship between the in-laws. In the future, when you are in Pingzhou, the Li family will take care of you. You can rest assured about the land and the house."

Zhulan smiled and nodded. Zhou Shuren and his father came out. Zhulan put down the corn cob and stood up. "Mom, Shuren and I will go back first."

Sun said, "Okay, you guys go back first."

When the ox cart left Sunjia Village, Zhulan asked, "What did Dad say?"

Zhou Shuren said, "Dad has discussed with my eldest and second brothers today. They will come to our house tomorrow to reply to the letter. Go back today to prepare. Dad, Mom, eldest and second brothers will all be here. We should prepare more dishes tomorrow as there will be more people."

Zhulan, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren has set up the ladder, and from now on it depends on the Yang family’s own efforts.

After returning home, Zhulan called Li and the eldest brother and asked them to go to the county to buy the meat and vegetables for tomorrow's cooking. Li looked like she didn't know what happened yesterday, and the eldest brother planned to wait until the ownership was transferred before telling Li.

At noon, Zheng's eldest brother came in person and said, "The deeds are all here."

Zhou Shuren took it and said, "Please help me, big brother."

The eldest brother of the Zheng family smiled and said, "In the future, please help us take care of my sister's family. I am willing to make more trips."

Zhou Shuren said, "We are relatives, so I will definitely take care of you."

Boss Zheng is going back home. He has a lot of things to do at home. "Please stay."

Zhou Shuren stood at the door, "Take care, big brother."

Boss Zheng got on the bullock cart and waved, "Let's go back."

Zhou Shuren waited until Boss Zheng walked away before returning to the house and handing the deeds to Zhulan. Zhulan looked through the red deeds. The name on them was Zhou Shuren. All the fields belonged to them. Zhulan sorted the deeds out, took out the box specially used to store deeds, and put the deeds away. Originally, there were only deeds for her twenty acres of land in the box, but now all the deeds in the box were stacked up. These were the family assets she had acquired over the year.

Zhulan locked the box and put it away again, "It's the fields that make people feel at ease!"

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I will buy more land in the future."

Zhu Lan said, "The house is not bad either. In ancient times, the house prices did not change much except during wars. You can buy more houses and shops."

Zhou Shuren asked, "You have quite a few properties in modern times, right?"

Zhulan, "Didn't I tell you?"

"no."

Zhulan thought carefully and realized that she had never mentioned it. She smiled and said, "Indeed, there are quite a few. When grandpa passed away, I also got some inheritance. I didn't get any cash, but I got two properties, a storefront in the capital, and a three-bedroom apartment in a high-end residential area. In addition, my parents gave me one each as a gift for my coming-of-age gift. Including the one I bought later, I have a total of five properties."

Zhou Shuren thought about the house he had worked so hard to buy, "Reincarnation is really a technical job."

His reincarnation skills were not good. He was an abandoned baby when he was born, and was thrown into an orphanage in the middle of the night. Fortunately, he was not abandoned in winter, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Zhulan smiled with her eyes crooked, "My reincarnation skills are indeed quite good."

Zhou Shuren didn't want to discuss this heart-wrenching issue, so he turned around and said, "I'll go talk to the boss and ask him to accompany Li back to the Li family."

"kindness."

An hour later, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou returned with their father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Zhou Shuren and Li's father Li Cong were talking outside, Zhulan and Li Xu were chatting inside the house, and Li was serving tea on the side.

Although Li Xu's family has divided up since her mother-in-law passed away, she still has a lot to worry about. The first and foremost one is that her grandchildren have all grown up and are now men of marriageable age. The house is ready, but it is difficult to get a betrothal gift.

The weather was good and the harvest was favorable. We earned more money and our lives became better. However, as life became better, the bride price also increased. The minimum standard for marrying a wife is now five taels of silver. If we want to marry someone we like, we have to pay even more. The money divided from the family business is really not enough for our grandchildren to marry wives.

She completely understood her mother-in-law's exhausted feeling. She wanted to break a penny into pieces, but the whole family had many people who ate a lot, so she couldn't save any money throughout the year.

She had thought it all out. When winter came and her in-laws were done with their work, she and the head of the household would come and ask for advice from their in-laws. Unexpectedly, before they even arrived, her in-laws came to her aid.

Zhulan drank a cup of tea, and Li Xu finally calmed down. "Mother-in-law, please try some snacks. They are from the northwest. They taste good."

The snacks she brought back from Zheng's house were loved by the whole family. If she hadn't restrained herself from eating too much, she would have eaten them all yesterday.

Li Xu knew that someone from the Zheng family had come. They were tall and strong and carried swords. At that time, Lijia Village was bustling for a long time. However, the Zheng family was too low-key and did not interact with the villagers. The head of the Li family warned them not to provoke the Zheng family, so no one dared to approach them. The snacks were not local, but brought back from the Zheng family. She took a bite and said, "It's really good."

Anyway, everything tastes good in her mouth. Although her family is not as good as Zhou's, they still have no shortage of snacks.
