CHAPTER 1028: CHAPTER 1030: SIS, THANK YOU

This was only said to reassure the An family. She really didn’t plan to come so far just to plant cabbages.

But no matter how far, it didn’t matter. Chu Lian could handle it. Having a wealthy relative was really a blessing.

"Uncle An, we’ve bought all the land. My husband and I can’t stay here to plant vegetables. Could you help with planting the cabbages?"

"Of course, don’t you worry. We’ll definitely take good care of planting the cabbages," the Old An Head agreed.

At this point, with all the land bought, they could only accept this favor and work hard not to let them suffer losses.

Xiaoxiao then took out fifty taels of silver from her pocket and handed it to the Old An Head.

"Why are you giving money again?"

"Uncle An, don’t we need to buy seeds to plant cabbages? Plus, that piece of land can’t be planted directly; it needs a layer of manure first—human manure, animal manure, it’s all good. If you can’t get it from the villagers, use the money to buy some."

"Buy manure?" An Quan asked, puzzled and surprised at the same time.

Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, that land needs some manure first for the cabbages to grow well."

"Boss, why do you talk so much? Just do what the girl says," the Old An Head scolded An Quan.

"Uncle An, if planting the cabbages requires more help, you can hire more people."

"No need, no need. Counting the wasteland, it’s just fifteen mu of land. We can handle it. It’s not midsummer yet, there’s still time to prepare the land, don’t worry," the Old An Head said, indicating that fifteen mu wasn’t much and they could manage it by working early and late.

Knowing they were reluctant to spend money, Xiaoxiao didn’t insist further and only said, "Alright, just do it at your pace, as long as you don’t delay the cabbage planting."

"Alright, alright," the Old An Head agreed.

Not knowing much about cabbage planting, Xiaoxiao didn’t give too many instructions, only mentioning that they would pay them fifteen taels of silver to manage the fifteen mu of land.

In reality, Xiaoxiao didn’t know if the payment was too much or too little and didn’t expect to earn much from these fifteen mu of land.

"This is too much. To plant those big cabbages, at most it’ll be three months’ work. How can you give that much money?"

"Uncle An, those big cabbages are quite valuable, and they sell at a high price. Fifteen taels isn’t much. If you think it’s too much, then my land can just stay barren."

"This..."

"Uncle An, just give us a hand. The first year selling is just a test."

"But we still owe you twenty taels."

"Take your time repaying it. You still need to make a living now, don’t you?"

The Old An Head really didn’t know what to say. Everything Xiaoxiao did was for the good of their family, and they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to repay such kindness.

Later, Xiaoxiao also instructed that the wages were included within those fifty taels, and if that money wasn’t enough, they could go to the Yuelai Restaurant.

She mentioned that once she returned, she would inform Chu Lian.

The matter of the land deed was left to them to handle.

The Old An Head agreed to everything, sensing that they’d pretty much covered everything.

Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming decided to leave, this time taking An’an with them.

After all, the child still had some time, and if on the road, they happened to encounter Doctor Xue, they held some hope deep in their hearts.

After arranging everything and loading up the carriage, they bid farewell to the An family and got on the carriage. And just like that, they left Anyi Village.

Sitting inside the carriage, An’an’s emotions were complex. She finally spoke, "Sister, thank you."

Everything today felt like a dream to her. This sister actually bought land to help their family.

She secretly vowed in her heart to repay this sister well.
