Lu Yanqing listened to all of Wen Nan's plans, while Wen Nan looked on expectantly.
Lu Yanqing lowered his eyelids slightly. "Do you want to do it, or... is the money insufficient?"
Wen Nan rarely goes hunting anymore, partly because the prey in the mountains have become more wary.
Wen Nan goes there too often; one day the prey in the mountains will run out.
Moreover, in the long run... Wennan won't make much money.
You can't catch a large prey every day, can you?
She still has to support her husband.
The family's only source of income now comes from Lu Yanqing teaching Zhang Ruyu.
Ten taels of silver per month.
Two taels of silver were used each month to pay off Zhang Ruyu's debts for house renovations.
Zhang Ruyu also has to pay living expenses every month.
It's also two taels of silver.
In short, Zhang Ruyu had to give Wen Nan ten taels of silver every month.
Zhang Ruyu is now the sole breadwinner for her family.
The main workforce was Lu Yanqing.
Wen Nan could finally live off Lu Yanqing's salary.
But how can this continue in the long run?
She was determined to give Lu Yanqing a high-quality life.
Moreover, 859 had given the order.
She protected and took care of Lu Yanqing during this time.
We also need to find ways to create material conditions for Lu Yanqing, laying a material foundation for him to do great things in the future.
She... is simply a perfect wife!
"Of course there's enough money. The main thing is that now it's all my husband earning money, and I'm spending such a large sum, so naturally I have to discuss it with you properly."
Wen Nan nodded seriously.
“Actually, there’s no need to discuss it… you can spend it if you want.” Lu Yanqing picked up the military treatise in front of him.
“That won’t do. We’re family, so family matters should naturally be discussed with my husband.”
Wen Nan's mouth was dry from talking, so he reached out and picked up the teacup in front of Lu Yanqing.
Drink the tea in one gulp.
"Since my husband has agreed, let's set off now."
Wen Nan stretched out her fair hand and wiped the tea stains remaining at the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.
Lu Yanqing's ears turned slightly red as he glanced at the only cup of tea on the table.
"Where to?" He tilted his head slightly to hide his unease, but his gaze couldn't help but drift to the cup of tea on the table.
"Go find the village chief." Wen Nan suddenly noticed Lu Yanqing's ears turning increasingly red.
Wen Nan raised an eyebrow slightly... only then realizing that she had drunk Lu Yanqing's cup of tea.
Wen Nan remained silent, pretending that nothing had happened.
“But it’s already late.” Lu Yanqing lowered his eyes, his hand gripping the military book, his fingertips tightening slightly on the pages. His fingertips turned white.
"It's not too late now, it's March. For farmers, the year's plan starts in spring. The village has been very busy these past few days, so the village chief certainly won't be resting anytime soon."
"Should we go and come back quickly?"
Without saying a word, Wen Nan grabbed Lu Yanqing's arm and pulled him to the village chief's house.
The reason for going to the village chief's house was certainly not for anything else.
When Wen Nan and Lu Yanqing were kicked out, the Wen family threw a deed to a dilapidated house at Wen Nan.
Therefore, apart from the land beneath that house, Wen Nan has no other assets in Lianhua Village.
Lu Yanqing was not originally from this place, so naturally he did not own any land.
Since we've decided to start raising livestock, there's no time to lose; we need to find the right place.
When Lu Yanqing and Wen Nan arrived, there was a kerosene lamp lit at the entrance of the village chief's house, and the whole family was eating in the courtyard.
Aunt Yin was the village chief's wife. She was kind and gentle, and looked like a blessed person.
The family ate together in a harmonious atmosphere.
Village Chief Yin, along with Yang Zhaodi and her husband, and Yang Sheng.
Wen Nan walked to the door, just as the village chief and his family saw him.
"Madam Wen, it's so late, are you out for a walk to digest your food?" Yang Zhaodi put down her chopsticks and waved to Wen Nan.
Wen Nan shook her head. "I have something to discuss with the village chief. You all eat first. My husband and I will take a walk and then come back."
Seeing that they were eating, Wen Nan didn't want to disturb them.
"Has Madam Wen eaten yet? Come and eat with us..." Aunt Yin waved to Wen Nan solicitously, but then she regretted her words.
She's been busy with rice seedlings lately. She went back to her parents' home for the winter and didn't return until spring.
I heard that Wen Nan's personality had changed drastically, but Aunt Yin never actually witnessed it.
Saying such things all the time... made Aunt Yin regret it so much she wanted to bite her tongue.
Wen Nan was born into a wealthy family and has always looked down on the farmers since she came to Lianhua Village.
Aunt Yin was afraid that Wen Nan might say something unpleasant if she asked him to sit at the same table with her.
Yang Sheng, standing next to him, didn't even look up, continuing to eat the rice at the bottom of his bowl.
"Thank you, Aunt Yin. We've already eaten before we came out." Wen Nan nodded and smiled, a businesslike smile.
However, this gentle response made Aunt Yin feel somewhat flattered.
The village chief had just finished eating, and he put down his empty bowl.
"Scholar Lu, what brings Lady Wen here?" The village chief came out. He looked to be around fifty years old and was in good spirits.
"That's right, village chief. My wife and I came here with only one land deed. We don't own any farmland here."
"My husband and I want to buy an acre of land in our Lotus Village," Wen Nan said bluntly.
"Buy an acre of land? Has Madam Wen found one she likes?" The village chief's eyes lit up. Land in Lianhua Village was worthless, practically worthless!
Every year, we plant some rice seedlings, which turn into rice in the autumn, but it's only enough to feed the family, and nothing more.
If they could sell it... the village chief was already calculating in his mind one acre.
"I was wondering if the village chief had any extra land near my house, that would be great." Wen Nan nodded slightly.
"I think the plot of land behind my house is just fine," Wen Nan said sincerely to the village chief.
The village chief's eyes dimmed; that piece of land didn't belong to his family.
“Okay, that piece of land belongs to Wang Fugui’s family. I’ll go and ask about it for you two.”
The village chief was somewhat disappointed, but he still accepted the gift.
The village chief acted quickly and soon communicated with Wang Fugui's family.
The land deed was transferred in front of the village chief, and Wen Nan bought one mu of land for a total of eight taels of silver.
The next day, Wen Nan asked Wang Hunzi to help him find people to dig up Wen Nan's land.
Wennan requested processing, and many people came. In just three days, they dug up the field.
Wen Nan also spent one or two taels of silver.
The original twenty-five taels are now reduced to fifteen taels.
As night fell, Lu Yanqing stood at the academy gate as usual, but Wen Nan did not come over.
He wasn't quite used to it, but he still couldn't help glancing at that corner.
Wen Nan always stands in that spot.
Wen Nan is busy now, and has to put Lu Yanqing's matter on hold for the time being because of the crayfish business.
Lu Yanqing felt a vague sense of loss. However, he quickly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.
