After the banquet, there was no doubt that the Luo Family siblings once again became the center of discussion.

However, this was not a bad thing for Luo Qiuyun and the others. After all, most of the people in the village had a good impression of them during this banquet.

With Old Village Head and Madam Wang's combined efforts in recommending and introducing him, the Luo Family Brothers had also become quite a few good friends, and it could be considered to be a pretty good start.

After that, she stayed at home for a few days. Luo Qiuyun kept thinking about Luo Tianli going to school, so she chose a good day and prepared to go back to town.

When he woke up in the morning, he also woke up the two little guys. Luo Qiuyun planned to take them to see the situation in the town as well, especially Luo Tianli. He would be studying in the town from now on so it wouldn't be bad for him to familiarize himself with the environment.

After a hasty breakfast, they set off. It was almost half an hour before Luo Qiuyun and the other two reached town on foot.

However, even though they were a bit slower, since they had set out early, the city gate was just opened when they entered the city, and there weren't many pedestrians on the streets.

Seeing the situation, Luo Qiuyun didn't mind. She led the two little guys to walk around the town. By the time they had walked through all the streets and alleys, it had already been two hours.

"Sis, I'm hungry." Luo Tianli pointed at his disappointing stomach embarrassedly and saw that he was still shouting with all his might.

"If you're hungry, then go and find something to eat. What's there to be embarrassed about?" Luo Qiuyun pulled both of them to a shop and sat down after she finished speaking.

"Sir, three servings of Cloud Devourer." Luo Qiuyun also felt hungry when she heard Luo Tianli shout that he was hungry.

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir." As the boss of the Cloud Swallowing Shop said this, he quickly grabbed a few Cloud Swallowing Boots and put them into the pot. Not long later, three bowls were prepared. He placed them one by one in front of Luo Qiuyun and the other and said, "Sir, please enjoy your meal." He started calling other new guests.

Luo Qiuyun and the other two looked at the steaming Cloud Swallowing Art. Each of them picked up a pair of chopsticks and a spoon. Then, they slowly started to eat.

"Sis, it's delicious." Luo Tianli praised while eating.

Beside him, Luo Tianxiang saw him eating quickly and felt a little anxious. He said to Luo Qiuyun, "Mother, it's hot!"

When Luo Tianxiang spoke, he looked very pitiful. Luo Qiuyun knew that he was intentionally acting, so she couldn't help but find it funny. She replied, "Who told you to be so impatient? Take it slow. Don't worry about your uncle."

"Oh, mother is waiting for me." Luo Tianxiang once again made a request after getting Luo Qiuyun's response.

"Waiting for you, waiting for you, don't worry." Luo Qiuyun ate slowly from her bowl, occasionally taking care of Luo Tianxiang. In the meantime, she found that Luo Tianli had already eaten a bowl of Cloud Swallowing Belt Soup together with Luo Tianxiang.

"Still hungry?" Luo Qiuyun asked.

Luo Tianli nodded in embarrassment.

"Go get another bowl." Luo Qiuyun said.

Luo Tianli immediately shook his head. He probably knew that Luo Qiuyun didn't want to spend too much money after buying the house and the land.

"So what if I'm hungry? Big sis doesn't need this money. Even if I spend all my savings, I can still support you two. Why are you hesitating!" As Luo Qiuyun said this, she didn't care what Luo Tianli thought and directly told the boss to add another bowl of Cloud Swallow.

"Sis, when I grow up and become a high ranking official, I'll raise you in the future." Luo Tianli suddenly said very seriously.

Luo Qiuyun smiled and ignored him, continuing to eat her own Cloud Swallowing.

Not long later, the boss of the Cloud Swallowing Shop put the freshly cooked Cloud Swallowing Swallowing Swallow in front of Luo Tianli, "Dear customer, please enjoy your meal." Saying that, he immediately left.

Luo Tianli ate the newly cooked Cloud Swallowing, no one knew what he was thinking.

When they came out of the Cloud Swallowing Shop, Luo Qiuyun intentionally found a storefront to buy the Four Treasures of the Wen House and went in. She gave Luo Tianli two common brushes, and also bought a lot of Xuan paper, a square of ink, and a bottle of ink.

After that, Luo Qiuyun went back to the fabric shop and pulled some good cotton cloth for everyone in the house. She planned to make some new clothes, with the most weight being Luo Tianli. After all, he had to go to school.

Luo Tianli's heart ached when he looked at the two pieces of silver spent. However, Luo Qiuyun felt that it was necessary.

Luo Qiuyun had originally planned to take advantage of the trip to the city to visit the teacher. However, due to the lack of a present, she was unable to do so in the end.

After buying what she needed to buy, she led the two small ox-carts back to the village.

The Chen Village was still called Chen Village because most of the people in the village all had the surname of Chen. However, there were also some families like Luo Qiuyun's group who had fled here from outside the village to buy houses and settle down in the village.

It could be said that the reason for this situation was that the people of the Chen family with the surname 'Chen Village' were not xenophobic. Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed so many outsiders to settle in their village.

Previously, he had relied on his savings to buy a house and a few fields outside the house. He also bought an ox cart, and from then on, he started to do business in the city, and from then on, he had been doing business for more than forty years.

"No wonder we can drive so steadily!" Luo Qiuyun sighed as she gradually put down the doubts in her heart. After all, even the stupidest person would become accustomed to doing the same thing for decades.

Unknowingly, the ox-cart had already arrived at the village entrance. Luo Qiuyun carried Luo Tianxiang down and paid the driver before bringing the things into the village with Luo Tianli.

Luo Qiuyun had just finished her work, and seeing that the sky was still dark, she decided to take a rest before starting to work. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door.

"He's here, who is he?" Luo Tianli was the first to walk out. As he opened the door, he asked.

Luo Qiuyun was also curious about who would come at this time. The first person she guessed was Madam Wang, but to her surprise, it was Old Village Head.

"Old Village Chief, why are you so free to come?" Luo Tianli opened the door. He was surprised to see the person who came and then asked.

"Hey, Tianli, I came to discuss something with your sister." Since the village chief knew that the Luo Family was currently controlled by Luo Qiuyun, he did not conceal his purpose of visit.

"What is it?" "Let's go in and sit." As Luo Tianli said this, he led them into the main hall. Luo Qiuyun also came out to welcome them.

"Village Chief, Uncle, did something happen?" Luo Qiuyun asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing. I just want to ask what is your family's plan?" The village chief continued, "I don't think you and your brother have time to go to the fields, so you shamelessly came to our village to find out if you intend to rent the land to us?"

Luo Qiuyun nodded and said, "Sure, I wonder who the village chief's uncle is asking for?" If you want to rent the land, I will rent it out to someone who is honest with himself. Otherwise, I will not be able to take it back.

"Don't worry about that. This old man can guarantee that the people who rent the place are absolutely honest." The Village Chief continued, "Actually, the main culprit is my good-for-nothing cousin. Does Fourth Elder Chen still remember?"

"The carpenter for my family?" When Luo Qiuyun heard Old Village Head mention it, she remembered him. He was dark and thin, probably in his fifties or sixties. He wasn't good at talking, but he worked very quickly. Humans, as Old Village Head said, were quite honest and honest.

"That's him." Old Village Head then told Luo Qiuyun about the details. It turned out that Chen Ol 'Four had a lot of sons and daughters, and they had spent a lot of silver just to get married. Last year, his family of three and four had to borrow money to get married. Their family had always been living on their own, and with more people and less land, it had become more and more difficult for them to live.

Because he had participated in the house renovation for Luo Qiuyun last time, he knew that although Luo Family were rich, they weren't as black-hearted as those heartless landowners outside. Thus, he temporarily wanted to find Luo Qiuyun to rent some land and go back to planting.

However, his family didn't have any relationship with Luo Family, so Chen Ol 'Four didn't dare to come over rashly in the beginning. That's why he asked Old Village Head to come over and find out about the news, if it's okay, if it's possible, then they won't be afraid of being rejected.

One must know, Luo Qiuyun bought the land with Old Village Head's help. With this favor, Chen felt that it would be better if Old Village Head didn't appear, so he shamelessly asked for his help.

After Old Village Head found out the reason for Old Chen's visit, he pondered for a moment and felt that there were indeed many fields in the Luo Family. Furthermore, Luo Qiuyun and Luo Qiuyun were obviously not the owners of the fields, so they agreed to give it a try.

After knowing the whole story, Luo Qiuyun thought that Old Village Head's words were reasonable. It was indeed not suitable for her to be farming, so she agreed to let Old Village Head rent all the paddy fields. With his guarantee, she did not have to worry about the matter of renting land. Furthermore, she could also help the villagers gain some good reputation, so why wouldn't she do it?

Luo Qiuyun already had a preliminary plan for the dry lands at the back of the mountain, so she didn't rent them out together with Old Village Head.

After asking Luo Qiuyun for permission to rent the land, Old Village Head asked a few more questions about the rent. The tenants usually paid 50% to 60% of the harvest to rent the land.

"Fifty to sixty percent?" Isn't this too much! " Luo Qiuyun thought about it and felt a bit bad, so she told Old Village Head, "My house only charges 30% rent."

"Thirty percent? That... "Then you're going to lose." Old Village Head seemed to be in disbelief. He tried several times and only gave up when he saw that Luo Qiuyun was still insisting.

"That's good too. This time Ol 'Four and the others have made a huge profit. Hur Hur." Old Village Head laughed.

Luo Qiuyun also smiled. Although she told Old Village Head that the tenants had made a profit, she had other thoughts in her mind. She felt that perhaps she would be the one making the profit!

From beginning to end, Luo Qiuyun had never thought about using the rented paddy fields to make a lot of money. She was ashamed of herself for exploiting her neighbors.

Besides, the 30% rent was enough for the family of three to eat for several years. Although the sharecroppers took 70% of the rent, they still had to pay taxes to the imperial government.

Luo Qiuyun knew that Old Village Head's thoughts were different from hers because they considered their labor force to be too cheap. She never thought that this would also be a cost.
