Chapter 83.
by Jessie@AFNCC“Big brother let me listen to the pine garden, I have long wanted to embroider a purse to give to big brother, nah my hands are clumsy, I can’t embroider, it just so happens that sister Qingwan gave me one, so I’ll borrow a flower to give to big brother.” Wei Ruo said.
Wei Ruo smiled brightly, then turned around and left.
She didn’t care if it was appropriate to pass on a gift from someone else to someone else, she was a country girl anyway, they would understand if she didn’t know some of the rules, right?
Anyway, she didn’t dare to accept Wei Qingwan’s things, who knew if she was setting her up? Although she couldn’t think of what Wei Qingwan could calculate with a small purse for the time being, as long as she didn’t give her a chance, her calculations would only fall flat.
Besides, how can a vendetta like her slandering her and wronging her be offset by something like a purse?
When Wei Yi Chen tried to call back to Wei Ruo after seeing clearly what he was holding inside his hand, Wei Ruo was already gone.
“Wanwan, this is what you’re going to give to Ruo’er, isn’t it?” Wei Yichen asked Wei Qingwan.
“Well, it’s probably because I didn’t do a good job and my sister doesn’t like it ……,” Wei Qingwan murmured and whispered.
“Ruo’er she has such a nature, she came to the mansion for some time, she acted straightforwardly, but there’s nothing bad in her mind, Wanwan you don’t want to think too much.” Wei Yi Chen said, not feeling that such a small matter has anything to think about.
The two sisters are just very different in nature, but they are both very good girls, the two jewels of their Wei family.
“Yes …… I know ……,” Wei Qingwan said busily, her lowered face looking unsightly.
“The purse big brother received, thank you Wanwan.” Although this kind of embroidered purse Wei Yi Chen can’t use it, but it is the heart of two sisters must be cherished.

Capital City, Zhongyi Burial Mansion.
The news of Wei Mingting’s promotion soon reached the capital, and the news came from the capital, arriving a little earlier than the letter sent from the Xingshan County side.
Hearing this good news, the Zhongyi Burial Mansion was immersed in an atmosphere of joy.
“Good job Old Three! This is a joyous event, a great joyous event, a great joyous event for our entire Burmese House!”
The old uncle was very happy, and his face was filled with a look of joy that he had not shown for a long time.
It had been three whole years, and Lao San had finally been promoted to another level! His hanging heart could finally fall!
Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong had the same smile on their faces.
“Father, this is a great joy, now we don’t have to worry about Third Brother being dismissed.” Wei Mingyong smiled.
“Father, for such a big happy event, should we not make a trip to Xing Shan County to personally express our congratulations to Third Brother?” Wei Minghong asked for instructions.
The old uncle objected: “Personally go is not necessary, although you are now just hanging an idle, but in the end there is an errand in the body, where can you just run around? I’m afraid that I won’t be caught in the act, right?”
The old uncle continued, “If you two brothers are really happy for your brother, then show your sincerity, as an elder brother, you should also prepare some congratulatory gifts for your brother. XingShan county side of the bitter cold, I heard that this year’s schedule is not good, even before the fall harvest can already be predicted that the grain will be under harvest. You two, as older brothers, should also think more about your younger brother.”
Wei Minghong and Wei Mingyong face some embarrassment, had thought to take this opportunity to go to a trip to the Xingshan County, do not want to Xingshan County did not go, the father also asked them to come up with family money.
The brothers hesitated for a while, Wei Mingyong spoke first: “Father is right, I will go back to prepare for the preparation, the third brother was promoted, the congratulatory gift should not be shabby since.”
Wei Mingyong all opened his mouth, Wei Minghong naturally would not be able to fall behind, and said stiffly, “Don’t worry father, even if you don’t mention it father, I will definitely make arrangements for it sooner rather than later.”
Although the brothers are reluctant, but also do not dare to fool the old uncle, go back, then each prepared some things, and take them together to the old uncle, by the old uncle unified organization, sent people to load the car to send to Xingshan County.

In late July, Wei Ruo received a reply from Mo Jiajie’s side.
Rizheng wrote back to Wei Ruo on behalf of the villagers, and he assured them that after this year’s grain harvest at Mojia Station, he would leave the next year’s worth of grain, and then sell the extra grain to Wei Ruo at the normal local price.
Their village planted rice seeds given by Wei Ruo, and Wei Ruo taught them a lot of planting knowledge, which made their village’s rice yield far higher than other surrounding villages for several years in a row.
This is also so that the originally poor Mo Jiajiajie’s living conditions have been significantly improved, and can do to be well-fed, self-sufficient in addition to the surplus grain can be sold for silver money.
The villagers remembered this love, so no matter how the price of grain would change later, they sold it to Wei Ruo at the usual price.
Coal has also been contacted, and a batch has been purchased in advance in Huzhou Prefecture, and will be shipped over in a while.
Whether it is the current situation, or the original owner’s memory, all tell Wei Ruo this year will be a bad year, cold, lack of food will be the two major problems plaguing the Xingshan County.
In the face of these problems, Wei Ruo must plan ahead.
“Miss, do you really need to spend so much silver on grain and coal? This is almost all the cash silver you have on hand.” Xiu Mei was a little worried.
Wei Ruo had already spent most of the money he had saved before when he purchased Xiaoyang Mountain, and now he had to take out another five hundred taels of silver to buy grain and coal, almost emptying his savings.
“Flowing water doesn’t rot, money makes money, silver itself is just a cold lump of iron, only if it can be exchanged for what I want, that silver is meaningful.”
“Miss, it’s good that you have plans, when something really happens you can’t carry it all by yourself, Nurse and I and Uncle Xu can all share your worries.” Xiu Mei said.
“Don’t worry, good Plum, your miss I’m exquisite in the matter of making money!” Wei Ruo smiled, then touched her stomach, “It’s just that after doing too many brain-consuming things, my stomach gets hungry easily.”
“Alright, alright, I know, I’ll get the snacks! Those seafood I bought last time are all dried up, how about I go bake you a dried squid?”
“Yeah, bake some more and send some over to Second Brother as well.”
“Yeah, no problem!”
Xiu Mei went and took out the dried squid that had just been dried a while ago, and went next door to Ying Zhu Yuan, borrowing the charcoal fire in their small kitchen to roast it.
After roasting, they split it into two, one was left in Yingzhu Yuan for Xiao Bei to take to Wei Jin Yi, and the remaining one was taken back to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo finished nibbling on a piece of crispy grilled dried squid and happily nestled in her room for another busy afternoon.
On the other hand, having received the grilled dried squid from Wei Ruo, Wei Jin also savored it.
Xiao Bei lamented beside him, “Young Master, Missy is so good to you, she thinks of you in everything!”
