"Uncle Yu, don't be like this. I invited you here to work for me. Don't just kneel down. A man has gold under his knees."

Luo Qiuyun continued, "It's fine if you want to move over, but first, you have to make it difficult for the both of you to squeeze into the east wing. There are only two rooms there …"

"It's alright, as long as the lady can let me stay!" Yu Biao had originally wanted to return the money after getting Luo Qiuyun's promise, but Luo Qiuyun didn't accept it.

She said to Yu Biao, "Uncle Yu, take the silver first. I didn't give it to you for free. Just treat it as an advance payment. I will deduct it from your wages when the time comes."

"If that's the case, then I'll thank Miss first." Hearing Luo Qiuyun's words, Yu Biao did not argue with her anymore. He silently took the silver and hoped to do more work in the future to repay her.

Luo Qiuyun looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late today. Uncle Yu, why don't you move your family over tomorrow and give me some time to let Chen Jing tidy up my house."

"Alright, we'll follow the Miss's arrangements." Yu Biao nodded and happily agreed.

This matter was solved. Luo Qiuyun carried Luo Tianxiang and left first, giving time for Chen Jing and Yu Biao to reunite. After they finished their discussion, the three of them took the ox-cart back to the village.

The next day, Yu Biao arrived as promised. He led his parents, his wife, and his son into the village and met up with the family of eight at the location Luo Qiuyun told him yesterday.

Chen Village Yu Biao had walked around a lot a dozen years ago, so he wasn't unfamiliar with it. Therefore, there was no need for Luo Qiuyun to get someone to pick them up.

Luo Qiuyun asked Chen Jing to arrange for them to stay in the remaining three rooms in the house. Only Yu Biao and the two elders were worried that they might dirty the room, so they refused. In the end, Chen Jing got Luo Qiuyun's consent and arranged them to stay in the large storage room next to the east wing.

On the other hand, Luo Qiuyun thought that Yu Biao's family would have to move to the mountain soon, and that the storage room was at least 100 square meters, which was big enough, so it wouldn't be too crowded to accommodate the eight of them, so she agreed.

After settling her down, Luo Qiuyun also let Chen Jing off for half a day to have a good reunion with her grandfather's family. These were the last few relatives he had in the world, so he did not need to count on Chen Laoer. In the future, he would have to rely on the Yu Family to help him with any future prospects.

"Thank you Miss, your great kindness, this servant will always remember it in my heart." Upon receiving Luo Qiuyun's promise, Chen Jing immediately knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.

"Get up, quickly get up. What are you doing? You learned that repulsive rule from your uncle. If you kneel down again, I won't let you take a vacation." Luo Qiuyun pretended to be angry.

Chen Jing stood up. She knew that she wasn't really angry, so she didn't mind. She smiled and said, "Miss, I'm just thanking you. I have no way to repay you. Just let me kowtow a few times!"

"Stupid girl." Luo Qiuyun knew that she was familiar with him now. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to act so boldly. With a single curse, she sent him on his way.

Luo Tianxiang, who was in his embrace, had been curiously staring at them. When Chen Jing left, he suddenly asked, "Mother, why are Aunt Jing's grandparents not willing to stay in the house? And they're all thin, aren't they? "

"It's not that they don't eat, it's that they don't have any food to eat." Luo Qiuyun sighed and continued to explain, "There are still many people out there like your Aunt Jing's grandfather and grandma. They don't have anything to eat at home, so they can only starve …"

Luo Tianxiang thought about it and then said, "That's why they don't grow up, right? Aunt Jing's cousin is clearly older than Aunt Jing, but he's not as tall as her. "

Luo Qiuyun nodded and replied, "Yes, that's why Tianxiang has to eat obediently from now on. Otherwise, he will grow up to be like Aunt Jing's cousin."

"Oh, I will obediently eat in the future. I don't want to grow up. Aunt Jing's cousin is so pitiful. Mother can make red braised pork for them tonight. Uncle said that eating more meat will help them grow." Luo Tianxiang's childish words made Luo Qiuyun feel really good.

On the other side, when Chen Jing saw her grandfather's family, she couldn't help but cry.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, help, cousin, Chen Jing is unfilial. I haven't heard from you for years, and I thought …" I thought you guys... "Wuu ~ ~

"Hurry up and get up. My good granddaughter is useless to her grandfather and grandmother. She even dragged your uncle's family down with her. Otherwise, your uncle wouldn't be so crippled that he would be forced to give it to Chen Laoer to raise …" The two old men hugged Chen Jing and cried bitterly.

Yu Biao and his wife were also silently crying on the side, while a few boys looked at their grandpa, grandma, and Chen Jing with reddened eyes.

Finished crying, the whole family began to tell each other their experiences over the years. While the Wu family felt angry about Chen Jing being sold by Chen Laoer and his wife, Chen Jing also felt extremely sad for her grandfather's family.

Miss and young master are both merciful people, in the future, when my grandfather and the others work in Luo Family, they will no longer have to worry about not being able to endure three meals …

The next day, Luo Qiuyun went to the village to get a few carpenters from Old Village Head. She asked them to buy some bricks and tiles for them to bring back. Then she asked someone to help her carry them up the mountain.

Due to the higher wages and the recent spring ploughing, more people were willing to come and work. Plus, Yu Biao's family also went up the mountain to help out every day, so it didn't take long for all the work to be finished.

For this reason, the craftsmen even built a few small fish ponds in the places they passed. Luo Qiuyun built all the pigsty on top of the fish ponds, thinking that she wouldn't have to feed the fish and prawns alone in the future.

In addition, there were also some open areas nearby. Luo Qiuyun had ordered them to build many wooden houses on the spot, which were intended to accommodate the firewood she had chopped down during the pioneering period.

This was because they would encounter a lot of trees in the wilderness. As long as the trees were tidied up, they could be used as new bamboo. Naturally, there was no reason for them to be wasted.

At the same time, Luo Qiuyun also asked the women in the village to help her find out where the piglets and chickens were being sold, and to order a few for each family, which would basically be enough for them to go up the mountain and raise. In addition, she also bought the seedlings of a fruit tree from anyone who had a family.

It was only then that Luo Qiuyun realized that all the fruit trees that had been planted were actually dug out from the mountains.

However, the quality of the fruit tree seedlings were still quite good. The villagers knew that Luo Qiuyun had spent money to grow them, so they were all honest. The seedlings that they dug up did their best not to hurt their roots.

After more than 20 days of intense work, the hundreds of acres of land at the back of the mountain was finally developed. Most of the land was built according to the mountain's trend into terraced terraces with fruit trees and chickens on top.

There were a lot of brick houses on the flat area. Other than Yu Biao and his family, there were still a lot of empty houses that he planned to use as warehouses in the future.

In addition, the log cabin was also very eye-catching. There were a whole grid of firewood inside the cabin. If it was properly preserved, Luo Qiuyun wouldn't have to worry about not having firewood for more than ten years.

The fish ponds by the stream were the "big beads" embedded in the mountain. They were arranged in a diagonal line from the top to the bottom, and some bananas and plantains were planted on the bases of the ponds. It was as if they were the Sangji fish ponds of later generations.

Due to this incident, the village's Luo Family had once again become the center of everyone's discussion. Even people from Luo Qiuyun's school had received the news that the teachers were coming for a spring outing.

Of course, they were just curious, after all, in the ancient times, people only bought mountains, and no one would mess around like Luo Qiuyun. Of course, they were just curious, because in the ancient times, people only bought mountains, and no one would mess around like Luo Qiuyun.

As for the villagers, what they envied the most was the chicken farm and the pigsty. How much money would they earn over the course of a year? If not for Luo Qiuyun's earlier investment, there would have been many people learning from him.

In regards to this, Luo Qiuyun did not give any indication as to how she should go about it or how she should go about it. After all, whatever the future benefits were, it was a matter of the future, and she was currently losing money.

It was a scorching summer day, and the early morning sun was shining brightly. Luo Qiuyun had specially woken up early today because some of the corn in the dry land had cooked. She was prepared to break off some and come back for a taste.

Of course, this was something only Luo Qiuyun could do. If it was anyone else, they would definitely scold her for being a spendthrift. After all, in the eyes of the villagers, all the corn was their food.

However, Luo Qiuyun did not care about that, her family did not lack this little bit of grain anyway, so she could do whatever she wanted. Luo Qiuyun did not care about that, in any case, her family did not lack this little bit of grain, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Luo Qiuyun drilled her way through the corn field with her basket on her back, breaking it off the moment she saw the tassels turn black. However, since it was not the best time for the corn to mature, Luo Qiuyun only managed to pull out thirty or forty bags from several acres of land.

Seeing that the sun was getting fiercer and fiercer, Luo Qiuyun felt that it was enough for everyone to eat together. She stopped and could not be bothered to continue drilling in.

She found a shady spot nearby and began to remove the husks and whiskers from the corn. Then she could go home and have some water and cook it in a pot.

After an hour, Luo Qiuyun finally finished her work and returned home. On the corridor outside the living room, she met Chen Jing, who was playing with Luo Tianxiang.

Chen Jing stared fixedly at the tender corn in her basket. She wanted to persuade Luo Qiuyun a few times, but when she remembered her identity, she couldn't succeed. On the contrary, Madam Wang, who came to visit her, saw this and immediately warned Luo Qiuyun.

When Luo Qiuyun saw the pained look on both her and Chen Jing's faces, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm just greedy for fresh food. I won't go and ruin the food every day."

"That's right. Girl, what do you want me to say? Earlier, there was such a big commotion at the back of the mountain, I wonder how many people were secretly jealous. If others knew you were like this …" This is nonsense, what should we do? "

Madam Wang sighed and continued, "However, you're from a wealthy family, so you don't have to care about such a small matter. However, you still have to be careful not to get caught up in others' thoughts."

"Sister-in-law, I understand. Thank you for reminding me." Luo Qiuyun was not stupid. She could easily hear the hidden meaning in the other party's words. Madam Wang was reminding her for her own good. After all, they were currently alone and without any achievements.
