Chu Yue poured water for her two uncles and then returned to the hospital.
At this moment, all the doctors and medicine takers had left. Dr. Zhu took a deep breath and sat back in his seat. Lu Yufang was still fiddling with the abacus in his hand.
Lu Dagui put his hand on Zheng Yuan's shoulder and was explaining something to him.
Chu Yue looked at a few people.
"Everyone has worked hard this morning. The food in the backyard is almost ready. You can go eat first while I look at the medical center first."
Zheng Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Why don't I just leave it as a slave to watch?"
How can a master let his slave eat first?
In the Nanyuan Kingdom, the status of people who became slaves was not as good as that of pigs and dogs, so Doctor Chu did not take their origins to heart.
But he has not forgotten his identity. Doctor Chu is the master. The master has not eaten yet, so how can he be qualified to eat?
Chu Yue wanted to refuse, but then she thought about it and nodded again.
"Okay, whoever finishes eating first will take your place later."
After eating, Chu Yue left Hei Mu at the hospital, then pulled Yun Cuihe and Xiao Zhu into the mule cart, and went to Zhuangzi in Shuiyue Village with brothers Yun Dabao and Yun Chengcai.
"Yueyue, do you know the specific location of Zhuangzi?" Yun Cuihe asked on the way.
Chu Yue shook her head, "I have never been free or been there before. Zhuangzi was previously managed by the servants of Jiang Yuan's wife. After the land deed was transferred to me, those servants may have been recalled by him."
There was worry on Yun Cuihe's face.
"Jiang Yuanwai has suffered such a big loss. When the matter is over, will he take revenge on us?"
She had just heard Chu Yue talk about the Jiang family being summoned by the county magistrate.
Chu Yue was not worried about this matter.
"Mom, don't worry. If the Jiang family wants to take action against us in the future, they will have to consider their own abilities."
It's not like he was the only one with connections outside of Jiang. Although she didn't want to cause trouble, she wasn't afraid of it either.
Moreover, Jiang Gaoyi has repeatedly stumbled upon her, so he may not necessarily want to see him again.
Half an hour later, the mule cart arrived at Shuiyue Village. Lu Dagui asked people on the roadside for directions, then drove the mule cart straight to Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi is located at the foot of a not too high hill, with a courtyard built halfway up the mountain. The mule cart went straight up the hillside and stopped in front of the courtyard.
Chu Yue jumped out of the mule cart and opened the courtyard door with the key in her hand.
This is a courtyard with a green brick house, twice as big as the one built by the family in Banpo Village.
Shuiyue Village is close to Canghe River and has a relatively humid climate. If the weather is hot in the future, it will be no problem to come here to escape the heat and accommodate a family.
Several people visited the courtyard, and Yun Dabao said with surprise, "This courtyard alone will probably cost more than a hundred taels of silver."
A hundred taels of silver is nothing to Jiang Yuan's family, but to ordinary farmers, they may not be able to save it in a lifetime.
Yun Cuihe was also a little dumbfounded.
Although she heard Chu Yue talk about Zhuangzi, she didn't know that there was such a big courtyard with green brick houses in Zhuangzi.
"Jiang Yuanwai is really generous. He gave away such a good yard as soon as he said it would be given away."
"For the Jiang family, which has a big family and a big business, these are nothing."
Chu Yue looked around, looking at Yun Dabao and Yun Chengcai.
"I just counted. There are a total of eight rooms in this courtyard. My uncle and uncle can choose two rooms to live in. During the off-season, we can also bring our grandparents here to live in the courtyard of the blue brick house. It should be more comfortable."
Her words meant that the right to use the yard was temporarily handed over to the Yun Dabao brothers.
However, the two of them also knew the importance and did not choose the main room. Instead, they chose two side rooms next to each other and put their luggage in them.
"Let's live in these two rooms. It's close to the kitchen and convenient."
Since it was their choice, Chu Yue didn't say anything.
"Let's go to Zhuangzi for a walk first. I'll tell my uncle and uncle some of my ideas and arrangements later. I'll take a look at what else we need to buy. Then I'll go to town and bring them over. It’s done.”
Yun Cuihe went to the kitchen and took out a broom.
"You guys go and see, I'll tidy up the yard first."
Lu Dagui hurriedly stepped forward and took the broom from Yun Cuihe's hand.
"Auntie, let me help you."
After Yun Cuihe handed the broom to Lu Dagui, she turned back to the kitchen to get a bucket and rag.
Chu Yue glanced in the direction of the kitchen, "Mom, please slow down and don't flash your waist. It won't be too late for us to clean together after we come back from the tour."
Yun Cuihe said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm in good health now."
"Mom, be careful. My uncle and I went out first."
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she led Yun Dabao and Yun Chengcai out.
There was a row of adobe houses at the foot of the mountain. Chu Yue poked inside and saw a strong smell of pig manure, which made her unconsciously raise her hand to cover her nose.
Chu Yue looked around and gestured to the Yun Dabao brothers.
"Uncle and second uncle, there are five ready-made pig pens here. You can strengthen them later and raise some pigs in them, and then build a place in the mountains to raise chickens. As for the ducks, just build a nest next to the pig pens, which is right in front. The pond is surrounded by paddy fields, so ducks are easy to raise here.”
Yun Dabao and Yun Chengcai nodded hurriedly.
"become."
"There are a total of thirty acres of farmland here. It's fine in the early days. When the farming season is busy and you can't handle it anymore, you can hire people. Then you can make arrangements for hiring people yourself, and I'll pay for the labor."
The two brothers followed Chu Yue and responded one after another.
Chu Yue followed the marks that Zhuangzi had left on the fields before and continued, "Now the fields on Zhuangzi are said to be too many, but to be said to be a lot less, it is not cost-effective to invite more people. If there are more fields, With a few, I can find a few more people to help my uncle and uncle."
Yun Dabao waved his hand.
"It's not in the way. It's only when the farming is busy that things get most complicated. I always ask for help at that time. On weekdays, we're totally fine."
While the three of them were wandering around the field, an old man with half-white hair and beard trotted over.
"Is that Dr. Chu in front of me?"
Chu Yue turned around and saw the unfamiliar face, her eyes full of doubts.
"Old man, what do you want to see me for?"
The old man came to Chu Yue, holding his knees with his hands and breathing heavily.
Chu Yue was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
After his breath subsided, the old man bowed to Chu Yue and said, "The old man's name is Shui Zhongliang, and he is the mayor of Shuiyue Village. Ever since he learned that the village of Jiang Yuan's wife was transferred to Doctor Chu, he has been paying attention to him every day. When will Dr. Chu come to take over Zhuangzi?"
Seeing that Shui Zhongliang was taking a breath every time he spoke a short sentence, Chu Yue hurriedly told him, "Old man Shui, please speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."
"Hey." Shui Zhongliang took two deep breaths before continuing, "The fields in Shuiyue Village have good yields, and the villagers make a living from farming. Last year, there was no harvest from the fields, and many families couldn't even pay taxes. Later, After famine and epidemics, I mortgaged my own fields one after another. Now I have fifty acres of fields that others asked me to sell, but I can't find a buyer. Now that I see Doctor Chu coming, I I want to ask Dr. Chu if he still has any ideas to buy more land?"
As if afraid that Chu Yue wouldn't be interested, he quickly added, "If Dr. Chu buys it together, I can decide on a more affordable price."
