Escape from the famine at the beginning: I rely on space to spoil Lord Shoufu

"Ms. Jian's family is really kind. If you need help, just call."

"Yeah, we have a lot of family members, so it's no problem for some people to come out to help."

"My family is the same, brother Ming's family, please don't be polite."

"..."

Seeing those jealous gazes gradually change, Jian Shiming couldn't help admiring them.

His little lady is really smart and understands people's hearts.

Tao Xi waved his hand, "Don't worry, they are all from the villagers, and I won't be polite to you."

After dismissing the onlookers, only their family members and Xu Lizheng, who was full of sadness, were left in the yard.

Xu Lizheng really thought of them, and asked Tao Xi cautiously.

"Brother Ming's family, have you already figured out what to do with this land?"

With so much money, don't let it go to waste, brother Ming is so smart, he is a material for passing the imperial examination.

In some villages, only the whole family can send out a Juren, so he was worried that Jian Shiming would not have the travel expenses for the scientific examination.

Tao Xi also understood his worry, and just smiled: "Don't worry, Li Zheng, I know it well."

"It's good to have a few."

Xu Lizheng left with a complicated expression. If everyone knew that Taoxi had bought an isolated island, it would be even more explosive.

It was already noon, and Jian Shirou made lunch. After everyone finished eating in a hurry, Tao Xi drove the ox cart to take them to Xiwang Island.

Only this time, Tao Xi had other ideas. She wanted to buy a boat so that it would be convenient to go to the isolated island.

So when she arrived at Huajiao Village, she went directly to Uncle Yu who rented a boat last time.

Simply because Uncle Yu was at home, seeing Tao Xi, he was still very surprised, "Little lady, why are you here again?"

"Uncle Yu, we want to ask you something."

Tao Xi didn't like to beat around the bush, so he asked directly, "Is there anyone in your village who wants to sell a boat?"

"Sell the boat?"

Uncle Yu frowned, his brows knit together, "The boat is what people in our village eat, and no one should sell it."

At this moment, the lady of the Yu family who was drying clothes suddenly said:

"I heard that Brother Yuan's boat is going to be sold."

"impossible."

Uncle Yu seemed very surprised. He didn't believe that anyone would sell the boat they depended on for a living.

The wife of the Yu family gave him an angry look, "Brother Yuan, his mother is out of breath right now.

In a hurry to save his life with money, he can't go to sea if he keeps this boat. No one will take care of his mother, so it's better to sell it for medical treatment. "

Uncle Yu was silent for a while, Tao Xi and Jian Shiming struck while the iron was hot, "Uncle Yu, can you take us to meet this Brother Yuan?"

Jian Shiming spoke politely, and did not forget to explain: "It is useful for us to buy a boat, and we will not ruin the boat."

He could tell that Uncle Yu treasured the boat very much, and maybe it was their partner for him.

Uncle Yu sighed, glanced at the children behind Jian Shiming and Tao Xi again, and said:

"alright."

He thought, these children can't do bad things in the village, and it's okay to take them to see Brother Yuan.

Mrs. Yu had a good impression of Tao Xi, and said enthusiastically, "I'll leave your ox cart for you, my lady."

"Thank you ma'am."

Tao Xi thanked them sweetly, and they followed Uncle Yu and Yu Sheng into Huajiao Village. There were not many people coming and going in the village.

Some of the men have gone to sea, while the women are busy with the three-acre land behind the house.

When they saw the uncle leading Tao Xi and the others, they didn't show any expression, they just greeted him warmly.

Uncle Yu casually said that Tao Xi was their distant relative, and no one doubted it.

Brother Yuan's house is in a remote part of the village. The loose thatched cottage may have been crushed by the snow in winter, and it has not been rested yet.

Yu Sheng was in a hurry, and quickly shouted into the room: "Brother Yuan, are you home?"

"I'm at home."

A thin young man came out from the house, about the same age as Yu Sheng, but not as innocent as Yu Sheng saw, his eyes were full of death.

Uncle Yu sighed and asked, "I heard from Yu Sheng that your boat is going to be sold?"

"Ah."

Brother Yuan's name is Yu Yuan, and his eyes are full of loneliness at the moment, and he exerts a little force on the hand holding the dustpan.

Uncle Yu was very sorry, "That's a boat made by your father himself, and it's sold like this..."

Before he could finish a sentence, Yu Yuan's eyes turned slightly red, and his eyelids drooped.

"Uncle, don't try to persuade me. If I hadn't lost my way, I would definitely not be able to sell what my father made."

"Cough cough cough... Brother Yuan, you... don't be confused!"

There was an intermittent coughing sound from inside the room. It sounded like a middle-aged woman, probably Brother Yuan's mother.

Yu Yuan gently pulled his lips, and raised the corners of his lips, "Mother, to me, you are more precious than the dead things left by my father."

Everyone who said a word was silent, and Uncle Yu finally remembered the purpose of bringing Tao Xi and the others here, and quickly introduced to Brother Yuan:

"This little lady and the others want to buy your boat, let's talk about it."

"Hello."

Tao Xi smiled friendly, and Jian Shiming on the side also asked, "How do you plan to sell this boat?"

"This boat was made by my father himself, and no precious wood was used."

After Yu Yuan finished speaking, he realized that it was wrong to say so, he opened his mouth and asked tentatively:
"Five taels of silver!"

He gritted his teeth, this boat is actually expensive, but the doctor said that the medicine for mother needs so much money!

Uncle Yu opened his lips, wanting to say something, but meeting Brother Yuan's expectant eyes, he didn't say much.

"it is good."

Tao Xi didn't ask the price either, the anticipation in the young man's eyes reminded her of the first time she saw Wang Zhou.

She knew in her heart that even if the boat wasn't worth five taels of silver, it probably wasn't too bad.

Sure enough, the woman in the room coughed lightly and said, "Brother Yuan, you...how can you cheat people!"

After she finished speaking, she panted heavily, "At most...at most three taels of silver, you and your father Hong spent so long."

"mother!"

Yu Yuan quickly turned his head to look into the room, his eyes were itchy and warm, he was so sad.

Tao Xi and Jian Shiming looked at each other, and she took out five taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Yu Yuan.

"Take us to see the boat."

"it is good!"

Yu Yuan's moved hands were shaking, he bit his lip firmly, and led Tao Xi and the others to the side.

In fact, Tao Xi and the others saw a covered boat in the yard when they came in, but it was not polite to go forward and check it by themselves.

Yu Yuan carefully removed everything covering it, revealing the clean boat inside.

The boat is slightly larger than Uncle Yu's, and it is no problem to seat seven or eight people, and it is also newer than Uncle Yu's.

It seems that Brother Yuan's father really made it, but it's a pity that his father is gone now.

In any case, Tao Xi and Jian Shiming felt that the price they bought was quite straight, and they needed such a solid boat if they wanted to travel frequently to and from Xiwang Island in the future.
