Just as Liu was about to decline, He Tiantian spoke up first: "This meat is for Xiaohe to nourish his body. The child has been working very hard these days. He was also sick for a few days, so he must be properly nourished."
Liu glanced at Zhao Xiaohe, a ten-year-old child who wasn't very tall.
Why didn't Xiaohe mention that she was sick? This child really doesn't say anything!
Ms. Liu felt both heartache and pride.
While the people in the room were talking, Song Yun, accompanied by Mo Zhu, arrived at the gate of Zhao Tingzhang's house in a carriage.
Everyone inside the house heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Zhao Tingzhang was quite puzzled. "Huh, what's wrong with our family today?"
Before he even stepped out of the courtyard, Song Yun walked in.
"Director Song?" Zhao Tingzhang quickly went up to ask for the luggage.
Song Yun also quickened his pace and stepped forward to stop him.
"Chief Zhao, let's not stand on ceremony. I haven't even thanked you for supplying water to the mine all these days."
There are many people working in the mine, and the water consumption is also large.
Since the drought began, the mine has had to transport some water from the village every day. Now that the village is also dry, they are going to Langshan to fetch water.
"Not at all, not at all, this is what a commoner should do. By the way, Director Song, what brings you here today?"
The whole family came out of the house, including He Tiantian.
When Song Yun saw He Tiantian, he smiled.
"It just so happens that Sister He is here too. I've come today to buy some land."
"Buy land?" Zhao Tingzhang was very puzzled. The drought was terrible, and they couldn't cultivate the land even if they wanted it.
Song Yun nodded, "Yes, but it's about buying a plot of land. It's the old, dilapidated temple where Aunt He used to live. I want to buy it and rebuild a house there. A brick house for the elderly in my family."
Originally, Song Yun wanted to buy a more impressive house in the city.
But the old lady in the family refused no matter what, and with the plague breaking out in the city, he also felt that crowded places were not safe.
Changfeng Village is a good place, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, suitable for a grandmother to retire in.
Most importantly, it's close to the mine, making it safe. It's also close to Sister He's house, so Grandma won't have to make six or seven trips a day to prepare her meals.
"This..." Chief Zhao was initially quite happy, but upon hearing that Song Yun wanted to buy the land of the local earth god temple at the village entrance, he hesitated.
Zhao Tingzhang glanced at He Tiantian, who quickly said, "This land god temple doesn't belong to my family. It's village land, so it's entirely up to Zhao Tingzhang to make the decision."
Song Yun glanced at He Tiantian, then turned his gaze to Zhao Tingzhang.
He took a heavy money bag from Mo Zhu's hand behind him.
"Oh, here is one hundred taels of silver. Is that enough?" If not, he can ask for more money.
Zhao Tingzhang's mouth dropped open in astonishment, and everyone in the room behind him was also stunned.
One hundred taels? That's enough to buy seven or eight of those dilapidated temples' worth of land.
After regaining his composure, Zhao, the village head, said earnestly, "Director Song, actually that piece of land wouldn't cost more than a hundred taels of silver. Fifty taels would be more than enough..."
Song Yun thought for a moment, "It's alright, Pavilion Chief. I'd like to ask you to supervise the remaining money. I heard that you personally supervised the construction of Sister He's house, so..."
