Gu Yundong rubbed her brows, turned over, and fell asleep.

The next day, she went to look for Chen Liang to buy land.

Chen Liang was so shocked that he almost spat out his water. “Buy land again?” How come she still have money?

“I’m buying a homestead this time. I want to build a workshop.”

A workshop? Chen Liang’s eyes lit up.

Their village was not very rich, and the villagers relied on those acres of land to make a living.

Some villages had workshops. Even if it was a small village that specialized in carpentry, the village was also famous among those towns and counties. The villagers more or less benefited from it, and their families were much better.

Now, there would actually be a workshop in their village?

Chen Liang was a little excited. He stood up and paced around the central room.

After a long while, she finally calmed down and asked about serious matters. “What is your workshop doing? How big is it? Do you have any idea? If you build a workshop, it won’t be a joke.”

“Of course. Don’t worry, Uncle Chen. My workshop plans to make sugar. I want to buy five acres of land first and build it after spring.”

It was too late to build it now. The sugarcane was seasonal. When her workshop was completed, the sugarcane would be gone. Besides, Feng Daneng was currently helping two other families to build houses. He could not spare the time.

As for this period of time, she could only see if she could rent a place.

Chen Liang listened to her roughly and nodded repeatedly. In the end, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, five acres of land, or the one at the foot of the mountain?”

“That’s right.” However, they still had to walk away from the house. Otherwise, it would be too noisy and it would be messy.

Chen Liang pointed out a few places to her. After confirming it, he said that it would be done soon.

But before Gu Yundong left, he stammered, “Well, Yundong, once your workshop is built, can you hire the locals from the village first?”

Gu Yundong was stunned. He smiled and said, “Of course. The uncles and aunts in the village have helped me a lot recently. I will definitely think of them. But I will definitely hire people who are diligent and efficient. Forget about those who are sneaky.”

“Of course, of course.” Chen Liang nodded repeatedly, extremely happy.

Gu Yundong really felt that he was a good village chief. He was focused on helping the villagers. Compared to the previous head of the Gu family, he was worlds apart.

She went back, but Chen Liang was still standing at the door with a silly smile on his lips.

Madam Zhou walked out and sighed slightly. “The Gu family’s girl will be amazing in the future. Don’t you think we should listen to what she said last time?”

She was referring to the school where Niu Dan went to that Gu Yundong came to talk about.

Actually, they were quite satisfied with that teacher and felt that he had taught them correctly. Shouldn’t students just read books? Why would the adults in the family need them for farm work? Even if the teacher didn’t say anything, they wouldn’t let Niu Dan go to the fields.

However, Gu Yundong said that the child had to have good stamina for the exams in the future. By helping the family, he could understand how difficult it was for his parents and family. He would cherish them even more.

In any case, what she said made sense. However, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl after all. The teacher of the school was so old and was an Elementary Scholar. How could he be wrong?

But look at Gu Yundong now. Wasn’t she advancing step by step?

Chen Liang was also thinking about this question. After a while, he said, “Let me think about it.”

When Gu Yundong returned to the Zeng family, he realized that only his mother was there.

The Tong Family’s mother said, “Master Shao next door caught a roe deer. Everyone went to help.”

Gu Yundong was surprised. “Shao Qingyuan entered the mountain?”

Shao Qingyuan returned after getting a roe deer. As soon as he entered, he took a shower and changed into his new clothes.

When Dong Xiulan entered, she happened to see him coming out in high spirits.

She could not help but take a few more glances. The color of the clothes… felt familiar..
