"No, I don't want to know at all." Xiao Sanlang refused with a straight face.

Su Yue smiled, picked up a leaf and wrapped the leech.

"Let's go home."

Xiao Sanlang took a deep look at Su Yue and followed him silently.

Brother Yu has woken up and is playing in the yard.

Feng had already cut the fabric to the size Su Yue needed and was about to sew it when she saw the two men coming back covered in mud and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Why did you do this? I'll boil water for you to wash up."

She put down her sewing and went to the kitchen.

Brother Yu glanced at Su Yue, pulled Xiao Sanlang curiously and asked, "Dad, where have you been?"

"I went for a walk outside and accidentally fell into the mud."

Brother Yu was confused, obviously not understanding how such a big person could fall into the mud.

"Where did it fall into the mud? How did it fall in?"

"Why don't I see silt in the village?"

Brother Yu, who is less than four years old, is in the curious stage of a hundred thousand whys.

"Little guy, let me show you something nice."

Su Yue walked over with her hands behind her back and "reach out."

When Brother Yu heard that there was something good, he quickly stretched out his little hand, "What is it?...Ahhhh, bug...bug...Daddy...ahhhh...

"

When the little guy saw the black bug in his hand, he shook his arms in fright, jumped up and took three steps back, then threw himself into Xiao Sanlang's arms and cried loudly.

"Coward." Su Yue chuckled.

"Su Yue!" Xiao Sanlang rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Su Yue put away her smile, held the leech and shook it, "It's dead, what are you afraid of?"

Brother Yu quietly opened one eye and looked at Su Yue.

"Daddy?"

He didn't believe Su Yue and asked his father for confirmation.

Xiao Sanlang touched his head and said, "Really, he is dead."

Su Yue took a step forward.

Brother Yu looked at the black bug, trembled subconsciously, and shrank into Xiao Sanlang's arms.

"This insect is very useful. It is a very good medicinal material. Whether you can eat meat every day depends on it." Su Yue held up the leech and waved it in front of Brother Yu's eyes.

Xiao Sanlang looked at Su Yue with thoughtful eyes.

Brother Yu was scared and curious.

Can he eat meat every day just by relying on insects?

In the end, curiosity defeated fear, and Brother Yu opened his eyes and looked at the leech carefully.

"It's called a leech. When dried, it can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain. You can take it and dry it, and the money will be yours after selling it." Su Yue said.

Brother Yu's eyes are brighter, can he also make money?

He mustered up the courage to take the leech and put it in his hand.

My little hands were shaking a little, but after a while I saw that the leech was really motionless, and I couldn't help but happily showed two rows of millet teeth.

"It's really dead."

Su Yue knocked on his head and said, "Look at things clearly when you encounter them in the future. Don't become a little crybaby all the time."

Brother Yu made a face at her and silently made a correction in his mind: She is really a paper tiger who loves to scare people.

.......

Su Yue took a bath, changed her clothes and came out. Feng took Brother Yu out to play.

She knocked on Xiao Sanlang's door.

Xiao Sanlang has changed into a light blue cloth and is reading a book in front of the window. His posture is upright and upright, giving him the air of a gentleman.

"Come with me to Li Zheng's house."

Xiao Sanlang put down the book, turned around and looked over, "You want to buy the pond in the village."

It's an affirmative tone.

Appreciation appeared in Su Yue's eyes. This man was so perceptive that he could see through his meaning in just one or two sentences.

"Life has to get through. Didn't you say that Brother Yu and Xiao Wu have to use money to study?"

Xiao Sanlang lowered his eyes to cover the complicated emotions in his eyes, "Okay."

Su Yue went to the kitchen and picked up half a pheasant and a pound of sugar.

Xiao Sanlang said nothing and silently took it and carried it himself.

Li Zheng's home is in the center of the village. According to his seniority, Xiao Sanlang should call him uncle.

Li Zheng's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, looked a little unnatural when she saw the two people coming, "Sanlang, you are stupid... Well, Mrs. Su, why are you here?"

When brother Yu fell into the water before, she helped Zhao scold Su Yue, but in the end she found out that it was Zhao who had stolen her family's money and deliberately pushed brother Yu into the water.

Wu always felt that she was superior to others in the village. This incident made her so embarrassed that she did not go out to see anyone for two or three days.

She thought that Su Yue and Xiao Sanlang came because Brother Yu fell into the water, so her face looked a little ugly.

Su Yue handed over the pheasant and candy, "We have something to do with Uncle Li Zheng."

Wu's eyes lit up when she saw something. She brought something here, probably not to pay attention to what happened before.

She took the things with a smile and took the two of them into the house, "His father, Saburo is here."

Xiao Lizheng was very surprised when he heard the two people's intention, "You want to buy the pond in the village?"

Surprised that the two of them had spare money to buy a pond.

"Do you want to raise fish or grow lotus roots?"

Su Yue spoke vaguely, "Well, both."

Xiao Lizheng frowned, "Sanlang should know that the pond is not deep, so it is probably not suitable for raising fish or growing lotus roots."

Xiao Sanlang: "Uncle Li Zheng, we also want to buy a piece of wasteland from the pond to the river."

Xiao Lizheng immediately understood what she meant, "You want to connect the pond and the river together."

Su Yue nodded, "They won't be completely connected together. There will be some distance left so that I can divert water into the pond."

Xiao Sanlang took a deep look at Su Yue and talked so eloquently. It seemed that she had been thinking a lot.

"Uncle Li Zheng, can you calculate how much silver is appropriate?" He looked at Xiao Lizheng.

"You know we don't have much money, we don't have land at home, and we still have Xiao Wu and brother Yu who want to study, so we want to find a way to make a living."

Xiao Lizheng sighed, took out the dry tobacco pot from his waist, knocked it, put it to his mouth and took a sip, and then spoke slowly:

"Sanlang, Uncle Li Zheng knows in his heart that when we separated, your mother insisted on refusing to give you any. I actually disapprove of it in my heart."

"It's just that the person you breastfed...well, it's okay not to say anything."

Xiao Li was looking at Xiao Sanlang with a somewhat regretful look.

At that time, Xiao Sanlang was the best-educated child in the village. He originally thought that this child would become the first scholar in the village. Who knew...

Alas, I can only say that this child has a bad life.

Ever since he knew that Xiao Sanlang had no hope of taking the imperial examination, Xiao Lizheng had turned his attention to other young people in the village. Now when he looked at Xiao Sanlang again, the slight regret came to his mind again.

"Let's see. The pond was dug by the villagers. You give me thirty taels and I will divide it among the villagers according to their accounts."

"There are about five acres of wasteland around. One tael of silver per acre. You can give me a total of thirty-five taels."

Su Yue looked at Xiao Sanlang and nodded slightly.

The reason why she asked Xiao Sanlang to accompany her was because in the minds of the ancients, buying a pond or land was a major matter, and the man in the family had the final say.

Xiao Lizheng would not talk seriously to a woman like her.

Xiao Sanlang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I also ask Uncle Li Zheng to go to the county government office tomorrow to apply for the red deed."

Xiao Lizheng saw a flash of surprise in his eyes when he agreed so readily, "Okay, I'll write the deed right now."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the county government office to handle it for you."

He got up, took a pen and paper, wrote the deed, and handed it to Xiao Sanlang.

Xiao Sanlang took up his pen and wrote two words.
