Lin Hui attributed all this to the improvement in food.
She always thought that Wenxi's complexion was sallow and skinny because he had not been eating well for a long time.
Now that her condition has improved and she often has meat to eat, her complexion has naturally improved.
Wen Xi felt embarrassed and said with a smile, "Mom looks good in pink too."
There was a lot of fun inside the house, and outside, Zhao Xiaofang's two fingers were tangled together.
Why was the Wen family getting better when their family was in decline?
During the meal, the Wen family all wore new clothes and had smiles on their faces, while the three Zhao family members had faces so dark that they could drip with water.
Even the meat on the table was missing a few pieces.
After the meal, Zhao Hu took Da Liu to the warehouse and whispered: "Mom, you saw it, the Wen family definitely hid their money. The family changed into new clothes, which cost at least several hundred yuan. "
Mrs. Liu also felt that what her son said was reasonable. If they didn't have spare money, how could the Wen family buy new clothes?
"Huh, how did Mrs. Lin become the head of the family? The whole family has new clothes, but we don't have any. I think she did it on purpose to drive us away!" Mrs. Liu said angrily: "Don't even look at how she looks. No matter what she looks like, she is not half as beautiful as Xiaofang.",
"So, we will find a way to marry the younger sister. If the Wen family's money is in the younger sister's hands, we can be more comfortable."
Mrs. Liu nodded, yes, if Xiaofang had not encountered that incident, with her beauty, she would have been able to marry into a well-off family, and even if she was not able to be a concubine for a wealthy family, it would be more than enough.
But now that my body is dirty, how can anyone want it?
The best choice now is the Wen family.
The two of them whispered for a while and said a lot of bad things about the Wen family before leaving.
The two of them didn't notice that after they left, a goose-yellow figure slowly walked out of the warehouse.
Wen Xi didn't expect that he would hear such a conversation when he came to the warehouse to pick up things.
The two actually conspired to give Zhao Xiaofang to Wen Kang?
After all, Zhao Xiaofang was once a rich lady, and her family was a poor farmer. How could they have such a plan?
However, no matter what, she would not let these two people succeed.
Before going to bed at night, Wenxi told his elders about his plans to buy a homestead.
The Wen family sat around the Kang, listening to Wen Xi's suggestion.
She does not plan to renovate the house, but plans to buy a homestead directly.
There are many open spaces at the end of Daniu Village. Because the land is too barren and there is no harvest, it has always been empty.
It was about four hundred acres, and Wenxi planned to buy it all.
Firstly, you can build a house, and secondly, you can enclose it to raise livestock and grow crops, so that your family's future food will be guaranteed.
What does it matter if the land is barren? Even though Lingquan water has been transformed, are you still worried about not growing good crops?
"Xi'er, how much homestead do you plan to buy?" Wen Danian asked.
"A few days ago, when I had free time, my granddaughter went to the end of the village and asked the village chief. There are 400 acres of open land there. I plan to buy it all."
"What?"
"Cough cough cough cough..."
The water that Wen Danian had not yet drank was stuck in his throat, causing him to choke and cough.
"Son, do you know how much money it costs to build a new house plus four hundred acres?" Wen Danian shook his head helplessly and said: "Four hundred acres of wasteland costs at least two hundred taels, plus building a house, the total cost is four hundred taels." One hundred taels, girl, how can we have so much money?"
Lin Hui went to the cupboard and took out all her savings these days, which was only six taels of silver, including the five taels given by Wen Xi. She smiled bitterly and said: "Xi'er, our family only has this little silver to buy the land you said. It just doesn’t work.”
Wen Xi smiled and said, "Mom and dad, have you forgotten that your daughter went to town to sell ginseng a few days ago?"
Ginseng?
When did this happen?
Wen Danian and Mr. Liu didn't know about the ginseng, and the Zhao family had just arrived after selling the ginseng, so they didn't know how much money Wen Xi sold it for.
Wen Xi took out a silver note with a face value of five hundred taels and placed it on the kang: "This is the money from selling ginseng. It is enough for our family to buy a homestead."
Wen's family had been poor for half their lives, but they had never seen a banknote, and it was still five hundred taels.
"How can ginseng be sold at this price?" Ms. Liu's voice was trembling, obviously she was very frightened.
"The shopkeeper of Baicaotang said that the ginseng is more than fifty years old, so it is extremely valuable." Wen Xi whispered: "My granddaughter may still find it if she goes to the mountains in the future!"
"Xi'er is really our family's lucky star!" Ms. Liu said to Wen Danian, "Old man, do you think so?"
Wen Danian nodded and looked at his son and daughter-in-law, only to see that the two of them were still stunned and did not react.
It took a while for Wen Kang to find his voice.
"Oh my god!"
"Okay, let Xi'er handle the matter of buying the homestead!" Wen Danian said, "Xi'er earned the money, so just listen to her!"
"Thank you, grandpa." After putting away the banknote, Wenxi decided to go to the village chief to discuss buying the land tomorrow. If he made the decision a day earlier, he could move in sooner.
Although the room was crowded that night, Wenxi slept very peacefully. When he got up in the middle of the night, he saw Lin Hui still up and sewing new clothes.
Another goose-yellow one.
"Mom, go to bed quickly and stop sewing."
"Now, just finish it off." Lin Hui bit off the thread with her teeth and said, "Mom can't sleep, so I want to make some more clothes for you."
"Mom, my daughter told you before that she will earn a lot of money and allow you to live a good life. From now on, we can buy ready-made clothes directly and don't have to make them ourselves." Wen Xi took Lin Hui's arm and discovered Lin Hui by candlelight. Tears on Hui's face: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, mom is just happy..." She raised her hand to wipe her tears and said to Wen Xi, "Our Xi'er is so awesome, mom is so happy."
Wen Xi leaned in Lin Hui's arms: "Mom, my daughter will definitely let you live the best life in the future."
Lin Hui didn't say anything, just patted her gently.
Early the next morning Wenxi went to the Li Chang's house carrying several kilograms of pork.
The head of Daniu Village was a scholar in his early years. After he failed to pass the examination, he returned to the village and became a head of the village.
Daniu Village has never produced a scholar in these years, so it respects this scholar very much.
"Grandpa Li Chang!"
"Hey, isn't this the girl from the Wen family?" The village head was hoeing in his garden. When he saw Wen Xi, he smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Wen Xi handed the pork over and said, "Grandpa Li, I'm going to buy the four hundred acres of wasteland I asked you about a few days ago."
"What?" the mayor said in surprise, "Girl, do you know that four hundred acres of wasteland costs two hundred and forty taels of silver!"
The Wen family is almost the poorest in the village. Is this because they have struck gold?
"I know, I can afford it." Wen Xi smiled and said, "My grandfather asked me to come see you and buy the land by the way."
