The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 96

Ning's body was inconvenient, and Su Zexuan was still young, so the task of twisting Su Chengzhi's hair naturally fell on Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo wrung Su Chengzhi's hair dry, and then gave him a massage.

After some massage, if Su Yunduo hadn't been talking to him, Su Chengzhi was so comfortable that he would have fallen asleep, and Su Yunduo's forehead was dripping with sweat. Su Zexuan brought hot water in time to wash Su Yunduo's face and hands .

"You mean we bought the entire hillside of Houshan with our own money? Didn't you say that you wanted to buy it with your uncle? Why did we buy it ourselves?" Su Chengzhi felt sleepy after hearing Su Yunduo's plan to buy the land. , sat upright on the kang and looked at Su Yunduo in surprise, frowning.

Su Yunduo smiled and said: "I don't want to embarrass my uncle. I heard from my uncle that my grandparents and my uncle all hope to buy a few acres of fertile land between the county seat and Heishui Town, and then rent it out to tenant farmers for a rent every year. "

Su Yunduo's words made Ning's a little embarrassed, Su Yunduo reached out and shook Ning's hand, and continued to smile: "Although vegetables are grown in that mountain, I don't know what kind of benefits it can get. Rather than letting grandpa and grandma follow us in fear, it is better for our family to take this risk."

"But that would have to borrow a lot of money, it's too much!" Su Chengzhi frowned even tighter.

The entire back mountain is really too big, at least one hundred mu. Even if the mountain land only needs one or two mu at most, it will cost one hundred taels of silver. Next two!

Now that the family is full of money, they only have five or sixty taels of silver in cash. The Chinese New Year is about to come, and Ning's is about to give birth. Can the family save some money for emergencies?This kid has a big heart too!
Su Yunduo nodded first, then shook his head again, and looked at Su Chengzhi seriously: "I know that the village elder said that the hillside land can also be bought in pieces, and naturally I know what Daddy thinks in his heart, but don't buy the whole hillside Buy them all, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

"I agree with my sister." Su Zexuan, who had been listening but not talking, suddenly said something.

"Kids, what do you know? Listen to your father!" Ning's first sentence was about Su Zexuan, and the second sentence was about Su Yunduo.

Ning was not as surprised as Su Chengzhi. Of course, she knew exactly how big Houshan was, and she probably had a picture in mind of how much money it would take to buy the entire Houshan.

Ning Zhongping once talked to her about his Ning family wanting to buy land, and also about Su Yunduo wanting him to buy the back hillside with the Su family, which was slightly different from what Su Yunduo said.

Ning felt that as long as the two families were interested, that would be the best thing, and in this way, money should not be a problem. In her opinion, the most important thing is to listen to the wishes of the head of the family.

Su Chengzhi glanced at Ning Shi, and what Ning Zhongping and Ning Shi said naturally entered Su Chengzhi's ears without changing the original words, but he did not approve of Ning Zhongping buying mountain land with his family.

If he hadn't taken a fancy to that mountain col, he wouldn't have agreed to Su Yunduo's purchase of hillside land even if he was killed. Who would have a hundred taels of silver to buy fertile land and grow grain?
Although the money Ning Zhongping took out was earned by Ning Zhongping, but the Ning family did not split up after all, how could Ning Zhongping count on it alone?If this caused a rift between the brothers and sisters-in-law of the Ning family, how could he be worthy of his father-in-law?
What Su Yunduo said earlier was exactly what he meant.

That day Ning Zhongping also mentioned that it would be best to buy the entire back hillside, and Su Chengzhi also considered the possibility of buying the entire back hillside, but they were all stuck on the issue of money in the end.

Naturally, Su Chengzhi knew very well that if he didn't buy the entire hillside connected to Shan'aozi, there would be a lot of wrangling in the future.

Only by buying the entire hillside can the hot spring be properly owned by the family.

"Daddy, don't worry about the money. I already have a solution. My brother-in-law left this time to help me raise money." Su Yunduo felt that it was better to have a close relationship with his parents so as not to make their eyes dark, so he smiled He watched Su Chengzhi tell his arrangements one by one.

"You child! How can you sell the fur left by Mr. Lu?!" Ning became anxious when she heard this, and said displeasedly while staring at Su Yunduo.

Ning didn't know exactly how much fur Lu Jinkang kept, but she only heard Su Yunduo casually mentioning that the most valuable thing she knew was that snow-white fox fur.

When Lu Jinkang and his party left that day, they took away two cartloads of things, and Ning thought that there were not many furs left.

She wholeheartedly wanted to leave some good furs for Su Yunduo to save for her as a dowry. Although the family's conditions were poor, as long as there was a slight possibility, she still hoped to give Su Yunduo more plans for the future.

A 13-year-old girl is not too big, she is not too young. The family conditions are not good, so she needs to make plans early.

Ning remembers that her mother started saving her dowry bit by bit when she was very young. Although the final dowry was not much, after marrying into the Su family, it was exhausted by the Yang family within a few years. But because of those dowries back then, Geshan Village was quite prosperous for a while.

"Don't worry, mother, the fox and deer skins are kept, and there are also a few high-quality wolf skins left, and by the way, some rabbit skins are also kept, enough to make another leather jacket for each of our family." Su Of course Yunduo understood what Ning was anxious about, so he paused and said, "Since Mr. Lu left these furs to us, we can only decide what to do with them. I also picked some for my grandparents, so that they can take care of them too." Make a cloak or cloak."

Recently, Su Yunduo is the head of the family. Previously, Su Chengzhi and the Ning family only knew that Su Yunduo asked Ning Zhongping to drag something away, but they didn't know exactly what was pulled away and what it was for. After all, Ning Zhongping was there, and Su Yunduo It is also impossible to spoil the things at home, besides, what else can Su Yunduo spoil at home?
If it wasn't for Su Yunduo's life-saving grace to Lu Jinkang, Lu Jinkang probably wouldn't have left so many furs for their family.

"Master Lu left so many furs? You have already made a big cloak and warm boots for each of us!" Su Chengzhi was also surprised now.

"Daddy, Mr. Lu and the others have brought back so many prey today. In addition to the two carts he took away, our house also has a room full of bacon, sausage, chicken, rabbit and fur!" Su Zexuan finally seized the opportunity to speak again. , while gesticulating with his hands as he spoke, there was admiration for Lu Jinkang in his eyes, yes, admiration.

Although Lu Jinkang was seriously injured because of beating a tiger, in the eyes of a boy of Su Zexuan's age, he is definitely a hero.

During the days when Lu Jinkang was recuperating at the Su family, apart from the old doctor and his servant Jiuer, Su Zexuan appeared most often in front of him. Apart from working, Su Zexuan wished to stick to Lu Jinkang all the time, even the timid Su Zechen was no exception.
