The website access address of "Love Book Network" is

Chapter 360 of the Nongmen Mother-in-Law's Road to Destiny, Zhulan, the most soft-hearted person, explained, "In the future, if you are going to marry, Mother hopes that all the girls around you will have family members. At least Dashu will marry you. The family is still in the hands of the mother and dare not betray you, or if the mother does not keep the Wan family, she will accompany the Wan family to you, and you can do it yourself."

She is really worried about the three newly bought girls, especially Li Qiu who voluntarily sells herself at the age of ten, who really threatens her family. !

Xuehan was taught, "Mother, why didn't you buy all the servants of the family, and also bought a few Liqiu?"

Zhulan smiled, "Let's not talk about where there are so many servants of a family to buy, just say that the house can't be all servants of a family, mother is also on guard against them, lest they get married and join together to fool us in the future , buy some servant girls to come in, these servant girls can only rely on the master, and they will be the most obedient, there are two kinds of voices in the house, you have to remember that everything should be balanced, if you want balance, you need checks and balances, this The literature in it is advanced, and my mother will teach you slowly in the future."

Mrs. Li stood aside and listened for a long time, her mind was muddled, what checks and balances, what marriage alliances, she was confused, forget it, she didn't want to, just listen to what mother said.

Li Shi said: "Mother, I'm going back to the yard with the silk flowers. I want to go to the market with the head of the family to have a look. Yesterday everyone lined up to get food. Today I want to see if there is anyone in the market."

Zhulan, "Go."

When Zhulan was left alone, Zhulan divided the family's silver, and the family kept 5,600 taels as the family property, and she kept the remaining 7,000 taels.

Yesterday I asked Zhou Shuren that wasteland was not included in the 200 mu, so she decided to buy only 20 mu of land for her family, and the rest to buy mountain land, so she doesn't need to go to the boss, just leave it to Steward Ding.

Butler Ding has more experience than Boss Zhou. It didn’t take two hours before and after he went out to buy land to manage both the mountain and the fields. This was delayed on the way out of the city to see the mountain, otherwise he would come back faster. One hundred and eighty mu is considered a gift, a total of 216 mu, 15 mu of dry land, and 5 mu of paddy field. Lizhou City has less paddy fields and paddy fields are more expensive. One mu is thirteen taels of silver. Dry land is cheaper than those in the Northeast, one mu Four taels of silver for a good land.

The land purchase cost about four hundred taels of silver including the taxes on the deed exchange.

The eldest couple came back around noon, Zhulan frowned, "Why did you come back? It's been almost half an hour since Butler Ding came back to buy the land."

If there were not so many people following her, she would have thought that something had happened.

Zhou Laodao said: "Mother, there are people selling wild vegetables and fish in this market today, I think there are too few. A few little dolls who sell wild vegetables said that there are still some at home. We think the little dolls are so pitiful, so we say It’s all there, but it’s a waste of time for the little baby to walk back, Li Shi and I couldn’t bear it, so we sent it back when there was a carriage.”

Mrs. Li continued: "When we arrived in the village, we knew that we came to buy wild vegetables. Many families came to ask if they wanted more? I thought our family bought wild vegetables every year to dry in the winter, so we stayed to harvest wild vegetables, so it was delayed. A lot of time."

Zhulan looked at the boss and Mrs. Li, the entire Zhou family counted as one, and the two were the most resigned, "How much did you buy?"

Li Shi grinned, she knew her mother-in-law would not be angry, "Mother, I bought two carts, and I also said that I will pick wild vegetables in the future, and I will ask people to collect them."

Boss Zhou added: "Mother, I bought it for two Wen a catty, and I bought it for more than three hundred catties."

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

This is to buy all the wild vegetables in several nearby villages!

Zhulan waved her hand, "Don't pile it up when you buy it, hurry up and dry it, don't let it rot."

Li Shi walked away in a hurry, "Mother, I'm going to sunbathe right now."

At noon, there were wild vegetables and fish on the table of Zhou's family.

In the afternoon, Zhulan changed her clothes and took a carriage to look at the mountain land she bought. The mountain land is close to Lizhou City. The wild vegetables on the mountain have been dug up long ago, and there are some vegetation. The mountain land of more than 200 mu is really not small.

Boss Zhou looked at the mountains in front of him, "Mother, do these two mountains belong to our family?"

Zhulan, "Yes."

Boss Zhou was worried again, "Mother, there are too many mountains here? Do they all grow sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

In Boss Zhou's impression, only sweet potatoes are grown in mountainous areas.

Zhulan could imagine what the orchard would look like, and said with a smile, "I'm going to plant apple trees in the mountains near the top of the mountain, and watermelons at the bottom of the mountain, and winter wheat after the watermelons are harvested."

Boss Zhou gasped. There are so many fruit trees planted in such a large mountain area, "Mother, our family needs to buy a lot of fruit trees!"

Zhulan felt confident after seeing it, and said with a smile: "Of course, after the fruit trees are planted, the mountain land will be handed over to you in the future. Lichun will follow you, don't let mother down!"

The only thing Boss Zhou can do is farming, but he has never won an apple tree or a watermelon. His scalp felt a little numb for a while, and it was the first time for him to take care of such a big family matter, so he had no idea.

Seeing Boss Zhou's lack of confidence, Zhulan still needs to practice hard, "It's not that you are asked to do it yourself, can you spend money to hire someone to do it?"

When Boss Zhou heard about this meeting, since he became the uncle of the Zhou family, he has become more and more comfortable spending money, and he is indeed good at spending money, "Mother, I will definitely take care of the mountains."

Now that there is land, Zhulan's family needs to hire a lot of people, and the family has brought a lot of food. Zhulan also prepares to pay half of the food and half of the silver, which can also help Zhou Shuren relieve some of the burden.

In the next few days, not only Zhou Shuren was busy, but Zhulan was also busy. She counted how many fruit trees she needed to buy, how many helpers she had to hire, and the family’s ice cellar had to be dug. Steward Ding and Boss Zhou were sent to Chuanzhou to choose fruit trees and hire them. The man orchard has gone.

By the time the batches of fruit trees from Zhulan came back, the Zhou family had been in Lizhou City for ten days.

Zhou Shuren started to build roads and dig ponds. The entire Lizhou city was full of people working everywhere, and Lizhou city was initially stabilized.

After the ice cellar of Zhulan's house was dug, and the nearby people were hired to plant fruit trees and fields, Zhulan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhou Shuren at night: "You said that we will all come to Lizhou City for almost a month. Why is there no official wife to invite me?"
