Allure of a Country Maiden

Xiaoer nodded. It seemed that Du Yijin also had a good business sense.

"I immediately asked Zhuangtou to find some walnut trees to plant. I just heard him say a while ago that many peach trees this year have too little fruit because they are old, so they simply cut down those peach trees and planted walnuts instead."

"You can buy mountainous and wasteland for planting. The first three years are the most profitable. The more people follow, the price will drop." Xiaoer made her own suggestion.

"I don't have any money." Du Yijin said sadly, this is really a good opportunity.

It's like discovering a mountain of gold but not being able to dig it.

"I'll pay you two years of hot spring rent in advance." I lent it to her, but she probably wouldn't accept it.

Two years is two hundred and forty taels, and if you buy barren hills and land, you can have dozens of acres.

"But..." It's not good to take this sum like this.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I have to pay this money sooner or later. It's a good thing to be able to help you. Just treat it as a favor and help me when I need help in the future."

How could County Master Rui'an need her help? She wanted to help her, and Du Yijin knew it.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, several people had lunch at Du Yijin's village. Xiaoer also paid two hundred and forty taels of silver so that they could buy land early, cultivate it, and plant walnuts.

When Du Chun'an saw that his sister finally had a smile on her face and was vaguely full of hope for the future, he finally felt relieved.

I can't thank Xiaoer enough in my heart.

After eating, they went back home first.

Du Chun'an went directly to Yahang to find a wasteland to buy. He planned to do this without telling his stepmother at home.

Xiaoer sends Du Yijin back to Du Mansion.

The carriage just stopped outside the door of Du Mansion, and Du Yijin got out of the carriage and said goodbye to Xiaoer.

Gu and Gu Hongxia discovered them just as they were about to go out.

"Aunt, Du Yijin is back." Gu Hongxia said excitedly.

Mrs. Gu also saw it. Lord Rui'an personally sent her back? This is just right!

She walked up to Xiaoer and Du Yijin: "County Master Ruian, has Yijin rented the hot spring in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to you?"

Xiaoer originally wanted to put down the curtain of the carriage and leave, but after hearing this, she nodded: "Yes."

"Then I'm telling you now, we won't rent! The Chu family will give us twenty taels a month. If you want to rent, the monthly rent must not be less than twenty taels." Gu said trying to suppress her excitement.

From now on, the family will have an extra twenty taels of income every month, how could she not be happy!

Otherwise, relying solely on your husband's salary would be barely enough to support a large family.

In the past few years, she had not bought any jewelry. When she went out to attend banquets, she kept wearing the same two sets of hair and face, and her face almost turned green from laughter.

Xiaoer laughed after hearing this, it was really whimsical.

Du Yijin's expression changed, "I have already agreed with County Lord Rui'an on this matter. The rent will be ten taels per month. Lord Rui'an can rest assured that the rent of ten taels per month will not change."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu quickly grabbed Du Yijin and said, "You girl, there is no reason to push the money out! Don't worry about this matter, I will handle it!"

"I thought this Zhuangzi was left to Miss Du by her biological mother. How come Mrs. Du can say anything about Master Du's first wife's dowry, Zhuangzi?"

"My sister has left. Of course, the things she left behind belong to the Du family. Why can't I take care of it!"

Xiaoer laughed out loud after hearing this.

Du Yijin was annoyed now when she heard Gu's voice: "This is my mother's dowry. It was left for me to make a dowry. When will it be your turn to take care of my mother's dowry? Because stepmother, you will take care of all my mother's dowry." The property of the Du Mansion was used to pay off the gambling debts owed by my parents' family. To support the large family of the Du Mansion, it has been used up, and only this village is left. What? Do you still want to reach out to this village? "

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she said with a smile on her face: "I am doing this for your own good. I can make more money, and your dowry will be richer in the future! Besides, you are still young and don't know that the world is dangerous. Some people want to use it." You can rent a hot spring for only ten taels of silver for a month, how can anything in the world be so cheap!"

"Thank you, I guess I can't get married! I'm happy to rent it out for ten taels of silver. This money is enough for my brother's Shu Xiu and Chunkang's medicine, and I don't need too much. .”

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu was so angry that she almost vomited blood. As long as she had enough money for repairs and medicine, she didn't need to eat!

Why else could she not get married because of her own gift? She did this just to marry her.

If there's anything wrong with her natal family, her sister-in-law won't mind her not having a dowry!

"County Master Ruian, Yijin is ignorant and joking. I can make the decision on this matter. Twenty taels of silver a month, not a single copper penny less."

"Mrs. Du's hands are really long." Xiaoer said sarcastically.

"I am her mother, why can't I care about her affairs? Lord Rui'an wants to bully my daughter, and I will definitely not agree to it!" Mrs. Gu heard the implication of Xiaoer's words, and her expression turned ugly.

"It was Mrs. Du who bullied Miss Du. Anyone with a brain knows this." Xiaoer pointed to her head.

"County Master Ruian, please go back first. This matter will not change. Thank you for helping me." Du Yijin said, not wanting Xiaoer to be angry with her stepmother here.

Xiaoer nodded and left.

Mrs. Gu pulled Du Yijin and said, "Why are you so stupid? You can obviously earn an extra ten taels of silver every month."

"County Master Ruian and I have already signed a contract document. If you break the contract, you will have to pay money!"

"How much money should I pay?"

"One thousand taels."

"Aunt, Princess Ling'er told Miss Chu that she would pay for these one thousand taels."

After hearing this, Du Yijin looked at Gu Hongxia, her eyes full of anger: "You took my drawings and documents!"

When she came back from Shengpinghou Mansion that day, she still had documents and drawings with her. Then what happened, she forgot the documents and the hot spring water pipe layout drawings in the past two days. She didn't remember them until she got up early this morning, and then she couldn't find them. arrive.

"I just picked it up accidentally." Gu Hongxia was so frightened that she stepped back unconsciously.

"If you accidentally picked it up, you can hide it secretly! Take it out!" Du Yijin stretched out his hand to her.

"If Hongxia hadn't picked up this document, I wouldn't have known about such a big thing! You girl, how could you not tell your mother about such a big thing? Do you want to steal the money!"

Gu Hongxia took out a piece of paper and handed it to her.

"It's so funny! That Zhuangzi was originally left to me by my mother, and the money earned was used as my dowry! How can I steal it for myself!" Du Yijin snatched it over, opened it, and saw that there was only a contract. Documents.

"Where are the drawings?"
