Chapter 143

Qi Yan sat down and turned to look at her with doubts in his eyes.

"It's like this. I accompanied Jin Li to the village chief's house before, not only to accompany her to register, but also to ask what I wanted to ask."

"What do you want to ask?" Qi Yan even put down his chopsticks, looked at Du Xuan, and waited for her to continue.

Because of the deep eyebrows and eyes, when he stared at it, it gave people a feeling of being stared at very seriously.

As a result, for such a pair of eyes, there is something... that cannot be ignored, and cannot be treated casually.

So Du Xuan didn't plan to tell him too much at first, after all, buying the mountain was her business, and she used her own money.

After all, although in the eyes of outsiders, she and Qi Yan are husband and wife.

But Du Xuan knew in her heart that no matter in her heart or in Qi Yan's heart, she did not regard the other party as husband and wife.

She wanted to buy this mountain in order to improve her own life, but when she was getting along with him, she also improved his life along the way.

Obviously planning this way, but when he met these deep and serious eyes.

The attitude can't help but become serious.

"I plan to buy a mountain." Du Xuan said.

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!" Du Hui choked on the porridge, covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Chen Jinli understood his surprise and handed him a glass of water.

"Buy a mountain?"

"Buy a mountain?" Du Hui couldn't help but asked Qi Yan at the same time.

It's just that Qi Yan's tone was an ordinary question, but Du Hui's tone was full of shock.

"En." Du Xuan nodded.

Qi Yan's voice was very calm, as if he didn't seem to be shocked at all, he just asked, "Which one?"

Although he had not been in Zhao'an Village for too long, he was already familiar with the surrounding hills because he made a living by hunting, so after he asked this question, he paused for two seconds before Du Xuan could answer.

Qi Yan continued, "The hill in front of the mountain in the north?"

Du Xuan was taken aback, but he guessed it right, and he was the only one who gave her a little respect for Shan!At least they are talking about hills, not small soil slopes like the village head and Mrs. Zhou did!

"How do you know?" Du Xuan asked back.

Qi Yan probably didn't really want to answer, he hesitated to speak.

After a while, he said, "You shouldn't be able to afford another seat."

"..." Du Xuan said nothing, it was a simple and plain answer.

She was silent for a few seconds before continuing, "Anyway, I want to buy this mountain and plan to use it to make a living in the future."

Du Hui frowned at the side, not disapproving, but worried, "Can I make money? Business is not easy now, I have been to that dirt... mountain, and it seems that there is no property .”

It was not easy for Du Xuan to listen to Du Hui struggling to hold back the word "Tu Po" and changing the route to Tu Shan.

She laughed, "Of course I can, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it, and I'm not stupid. The golden carp has also joined the gang, and I will join the gang as soon as she gets the dowry money."

Du Hui was so helpless, he glanced sideways at Chen Jinli, his eyes seemed to say: Why are you messing around with me?

Chen Jinli shrugged helplessly, "I still trust her."

Du Xuan laughed cheerfully, she just felt very happy no matter how she thought about it.

Only after hearing what she said just now, Qi Yan's first consideration was not whether he could make money, whether the business could be done well, or whether he could make money back.

But after hearing her say that Chen Jinli was going to take the dowry money to join the gang, her eyes became a little more thoughtful.

After breakfast, Qi Yan went to wash the dishes as usual, and he has become a habit of doing this, so even if other people in the family came to eat, he didn't ask others to help him with this matter.

When he was washing the dishes, Du Xuan happened to walk over to wash her hands. Just as she was about to leave after washing, a wet hand grabbed her wrist.

"Huh?" Du Xuan looked at Qi Yan holding her wrist, "What's wrong?"

Qi Yanding looked at her for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Is it not enough money?"

"Ah?" Du Xuan didn't react for a moment.

After all, is there ever enough money?

Qi Yan asked again slowly, "Isn't the money to buy the mountain not enough?"

This remark made Du Xuan completely unexpected, and he didn't expect that this was what he was worried about.

It's not that she doesn't have enough money, but she just joked and asked, "What if the money is not enough?"

Qi Yan was silent for a few seconds, then whispered, "Then you, wait for me for a few days."

Du Xuan didn't think of this, but she didn't take it too seriously, and everything went on as usual in the next few days, and she went up the mountain occasionally.

Go to the small earth mountain that I plan to buy to collect herbs, and plan to save more. When I go to the county town to give the answer to the young owner of the pharmacy, Lu Jichen, I will sell it in the county town at one time.

Then water the herbs, go to other mountains by the way, and transplant some herbs that are not on the small soil hills.

It can be regarded as work every day.

As for Chen Jinli's dowry money, he never got it.

One evening, Sun Er came to talk to Chen Jinli. After the conversation, Jin Li told Du Xuan that Sun Er said that his family was already collecting money and asked her to wait for a few days.

Du Xuan sneered when she heard the words, "If you allow a few days of grace, then you will be asked to allow a few more months of grace, and then a few years of grace, and then it will be nothing. Didn't you say before that the dowry money asked me to help you find a way Is it?"

"Yes." Chen Jinli nodded, she always took Du Xuan's words seriously.

"But I'm an outsider in this matter. It's not appropriate to say anything. I can only give you advice. You still have to do things yourself." Du Xuan said.

"Okay, tell me, I'll just do it." Chen Jinli nodded.

Du Xuan thought about it, and said, "I'll write you two pieces of paper later, you don't care what is written, they don't know big characters anyway, but they should know my name, I will write on it Put their names on it, it will look more real, you take it to the Sun’s house tomorrow, and say it’s a complaint, accusing them of embezzling your dowry money. Do you know?”

Chen Jinli nodded obediently, "I know, you are still the best. But what is the other piece of paper?"

"You don't care what is written, anyway, it's written, it looks like it can bluff people, just take it, and say that it is the testimony given to you by the shopkeeper of the tailor shop in the town, proving that you have been accepting clothes all these years. How much money do they earn from doing the handicraft work in their shop at home?"

Chen Jinli's eyes lit up, how could he still not understand, he nodded repeatedly, "With this, I will definitely be able to scare my wife... that Qian Shi!"

"Then tomorrow, your name is Du Hui... Forget it, Du Hui is a bachelor after all, so it's not suitable. Ask Qi Yan to accompany you. He is tall and big, and he can bluff people by standing aside. Just say, Laid Qian to go to the county seat to see the officials. To save the trouble, the county master would have to send yamen servants, and pay an extra fee for hard work."
