From then on, all the steps to become a student were completed, and Zhou Junjun could officially enter the school.

Tutor Tang said, “The timing of your visit today is just right. It just so happens that class hasn’t started yet. Zhou Junjun, why don’t you study in school today?”

Zhou Junjun looked at the spacious and bright classroom with sparkling eyes. He solemnly cupped his hands and bowed. “Yes, sir.”

As for Zhou Xiaoli and Zhou Yu, they could not stay in the private school for long. After bidding farewell to the tutor, they prepared to leave the private school.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli looked up and saw Zheng Yongyan sitting at one of the window seats, reading seriously.

The private school classroom was separated by a screen. On one side were the younger students, and on the other side were the older students.

When she looked over, she could see the screen behind Zheng Yongyan.

The screen was decorated with plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemums. The flowers that were favored by scholars.

When Zhou Xiaoli looked over, due to a visual alignment, it was as if a tuft of emerald green bamboo had grown out of Zheng Yongyan’s head.

Zhou Xiaoli almost burst out laughing.

On the other hand, Zheng Yongyan seemed to sense someone looking at him.

His eyes moved away from the book and looked over.

When he saw that it was Zhou Xiaoli, he glared at her.

Zhou Xiaoli made a face at him and left the private school with Zhou Yu under his angry gaze.

“Father, we would pass by our familys field when we go back. Let’s take a look at it.”

Zhou Xiaoli suggested after they left the Dazhuang Village.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded and drove the donkey cart to the fields.

Their 20 acres of wasteland were all connected.

Out of the 20 acres, 10 acres had been cleared before. However, it was overgrown and a little barren as it has been too long since anyone took care of it.

However, it was much better than the forest lands in front.

No wonder they said that clearing the forest land was a physical task.

Not only were there weeds in those forest lands, but there were also trees, stones, and the ground was firmly packed together. It was not an easy task to make the land ready for cultivation.

Zhou Xiaoli jumped out of the cart and walked over to greet the three workers.

Then, she walked around.

After Zhou Yu tied up the donkey cart, he went to talk to the workers for a while.

After that, he went to look for Zhou Xiaoli.

“Father, we have to put up a fence after we plant our fruit trees,” Zhou Xiaoli said as she pointed at the village at the foot of the mountain.

“There are villagers who often go up the mountain to play in the autumn. When the fruit trees bear fruit, who knows how many people will come up to steal the fruits to eat.”

Zhou Yu immediately nodded. He thought of something and added, “Just the fence alone won’t do. Someone has to watch over it.”

“However, you don’t have to worry about that. I’ve guarded sweet potatoes in the fields before and am the most experienced at it. When the time comes, I’ll bring a bedroll and sleep here for a few days.”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded.

Zhou Yu was right. They do need someone to watch over the trees, but for Zhou Yu to do it was out of the question.

Perhaps they could find a worker to watch over it then. Or, they could buy a servant.

However, Zhou Xiaoli did not say it out loud.

Back then, she had to spend a lot of effort to convince Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan to hire workers. If they heard that she actually wanted to buy servants, they would definitely not agree.

It was not that they could not afford servants. Besides, after buying servants, the family had to pay taxes on them every year.

Without a doubt, Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu would definitely not agree.

Therefore, she kept this thought to herself but did not say it out loud.

The two of them walked around for a while. The sun was getting stronger and stronger. Zhou Yu l s heart ached for her daughter being out in the strong sun, so he pulled Zhou Xiaoli, who was still exploring, home.

In this world where entertainment was scarce, the commoners did not have any other means of entertainment. When they were not busy with farming, they would just sit together and chat.

Hence, it wouldn’t take long for news to spread in the village.

They were seen hiring workers to clear the forest lands. At this moment, the villagers, who did not have any farm work to do at home and had nothing to do, were discussing on the streets.

‘Zhou Yu e s family went up the mountain to clear the forest lands?” “Of course. I heard that they got more than 30 acres of land.”

“What? More than 30 acres!”

“Yes, that much I guess. That’s what the people on the street were saying!’

“The Zhou Yu family is really too bold. Five years ago, the county magistrate encouraged us commoners to clear the forest lands. At that time, the one who cleared the forest land does not have to pay taxes for the first three years. Many people went to do it, but in the end? No one could earn money. Many thanked the heavens for not making a loss then.”

“The Zhou family is amazing now. Theyve made a lot of money and even hired workers to work. Theyre not afraid of losing money.”

“What? Hire someone to work! Is this Zhou Yu sick or disabled? He just got some money and he’s already slacking off? Does he think he’s a landlord?”

“I’m dying of laughter. They’ve been silly for so many years. They probably didn’t learn anything. It’s normal that they don’t know how to be in charge. However, where did the Zhou family get so much money?

“Don’t you know! Didn’t the Lu family use a field of beetroots to scam the Zhou family previously? Who knew that the Zhou family would be forced into a corner and thought of a way to make sugar from it? Now, they are making sugar with the village chief and the Liu family which is very profitable!” “Shh, stop talking. The Zhou father and daughter are here…

As the donkeys hoofs clopped on the ground, Zhou Yu drove the donkey cart over.

With the villagers around, Zhou Yu did not drive the donkey cart very quickly.

“Ah, Zhou Yu, have you gone to your fields?”

Someone smiled and greeted them.

Zhou Yu also smiled and nodded in response. “That’s right. It’s cooler here.

Have you all eaten?”

“Yes, yes. Sigh, right, Zhou Yu, I heard that your family is clearing the forest lands on the mountain?

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment before saying, “Auntie, what you have heard is true. As you know, my family doesn’t have any farmland.”

It’s not a good thing that our family doesn’t have its own farmland. We can’t afford good farmland, so we thought of opening a few acres of forest land.”

Zhou Yu smiled and said in a vague manner.

Zhou Xiaoli sat quietly at the side and listened to their greetings. She thought to herself, “As expected, gossip Imows no boundaries. No matter what, humans can’t escape their natural characteristic ofgossiping. ”

At this moment, she suddenly saw someone sneaking around. She looked over and saw Bao Meifang from the Lu family, and her daughter, Lu Huahua, sticking their heads out.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli had noticed them, they decided to walk over.

Bao Meifang sized up Zhou Xiaoli’s donkey cart with her triangular eyes. Then, she spoke in a high-pitched voice with a jealous tone.

“Yo, isnt this Zhou Yu? I heard that your family used my familys beetroots to make sugar? Then you have to thank me properly. If not for me, your family wouldn’t be so lucky!”

Zhou Xiaoli and Zhou Yu tacitly ignored her.

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded at the villagers beside him. “We’ll go back first.” As he spoke, he prepared to drive the donkey cart away.

When Bao Meifang saw that Zhou Xiaoli and Zhou Yu were treating her like air after she had said so much, her face turned green with anger.

She immediately rushed forward and stopped their donkey cart.

Zhou Xiaoli knitted her brows tightly, revealing a trace of disgust.

“Madam Bao! Don’t be so shameless. It’s all because you couldn’t sell the beetroots back then and wanted to scam our family. Why are you asking for credit now?

“Hurry up and get lost.. Don’t force me to kick you!’
