Tian You bought them back. They were sixty chickens, and it was very lively.

"I have a hair! Raising so many chickens, I have to eat a lot of food today. It really makes one's heart ache." In this era where even people were unable to eat their fill, to be able to return a large amount of food to livestock was extremely painful and unfair.

"The less food we feed, the more we rely on." Tian YouFa chuckled. Seeing so many chickens, it was as if he could see countless chickens wagging in front of his eyes.

"Can't I grow up by drinking water?" Xuehua's mother mocked.

Tian Youcai's luck was not that good. If he went to the county to help him treat a patient, his family would be rich. What was even more surprising was that Mrs. Liu suddenly became better.

The sudden reversal of the situation caused a contrast in her mentality.

Why did their family suddenly get better?

"I'll keep it for now." Tian Youfeng only smiled.

"Then you don't know how to farm." Ersheng's mother was envious of these chicks. If only so many chicks could be raised in her own home, when they grew up, how many chicks would be born every year and how many eggs would be born?

"The field still needs to be planted. Otherwise, not to mention the chicks, we won't even be able to get food for ourselves." Mrs. Liu laughed heartily.

She felt as if she was sleeping. When she woke up, all the bad news had disappeared. Her family's days were unexpectedly better. Most importantly, her husband and daughter were still alive.

Thus, at this moment, on her face, other than happiness, there was also a hint of happiness.

"Yeah, according to what I heard, that piece of wasteland in the west is being sold. Does your family have this kind of idea?" This news was something Ersheng's mother had just heard from the Upper Tian Village.

Upper Tian Village was originally a village, but the way they called it was different. Thus, there was only one square meter that currently resided in Upper Tian Village.

"Our family just bought so many chickens, I don't think that's possible." Without even thinking about it, Mrs. Liu shook her head. She had never thought about buying land and just wanted to live by herself.

"You might as well ask. There are so many chicken chicks that we have to eat." Ersheng's mother pouted.

Mrs. Liu thought for a moment and said, "OK, I'll ask for it tonight. Sister-in-law, come over for dinner tonight. The chicken seller also sent a chicken over and cooked it in the evening."

"No need, our family has so many people, you don't have enough." Ersheng's mother waved her hands. It wasn't appropriate for everyone to go, but if she went alone, the rest of the family wouldn't even know how to glare at her.

In the evening, after killing the chicken, Mrs. Liu chopped it into two and sent half to Ersheng's family.

"Mengmeng, his father, please wash your hands and eat." Mrs. Liu woke up. All the work in the kitchen was done by her. Xiaomeng was helping out by the side.

"Mengmeng, go call my grandma."

"Hai."

There was an extra dish in the evening, a rare dish of two dishes and a soup.

Mrs. Liu poured some wine for Tian Youzi. Tian Xiaomeng wanted to drink, but she was slapped by Mrs. Liu. "Miss, what do you want to drink? Are you not afraid of being laughed at by others?"

"Just a little. I want to try it."

"Just let her drink. What's there to be afraid of at home?" Tian has not to Weirann, happy today, drink a little is fine.

"Drink a little, then." Mrs. Liu didn't want to ruin the relationship between father and daughter. She poured a little for Xiaomeng, and a little for herself and her grandma as a form of entertainment.

"It's good to have dinner together." Tian Youzi sighed.

"Yes, my next-door sister-in-law said she was thinking of selling that piece of land in the west." Mrs. Liu remembered Ersheng's mother's words and said.

"What do we need to do? We have chickens at home now, how much more can we afford to do in the fields in the future?" Tian Youfeng did not plan to buy it. Besides, he knew where the land was, but it was just a piece of barren land, so buying it would be useless.

Xiaomeng's eyes narrowed as she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Dad, what kind of land is that? Is it wasteland?" In his memory, it seemed to be a piece of barren land.

"Yes, the kind that grows weeds, and the land is barren, buying it probably won't be of much use."

"Dad, how about you ask around tomorrow. Think about it. Right now, our family has very little land, and we also have so many chickens. If we can grow more food, our family would be in a better situation."

"That's a piece of barren land. How could the three of us possibly reclaim it?" Tian YouFa frowned. The most important thing was that the land was a wasteland. Even if it was some other land, it would not be their home.

"Dad, you should go and ask tomorrow. This is a land, it'll definitely be useful." She wasn't worried about not being able to clear the wasteland. As long as she had money and a bit of wages, there would be plenty of people willing to work.

"Alright, I'll ask. If it's suitable, we'll buy it." Currently, it was not easy to get a plot of land of one's own. With a population that was not enough to feed one's food, one would have to rent a plot of land from a large family. Even though that plot of land was a wasteland, it belonged to one's family after all, so even if the harvest was not good, it would still be extremely useful.

With this idea, Tian You went to the main house in Upper Tian Village the next day.

Li Zheng was about the same age as his father, Tian Zongmin. He was also from the same generation as Tian Zongmin. His name was Tian Zongxian, and he was a stubborn little old man. He was tall, thin, and had a mustache.

"Uncle, that's a piece of barren land. It still costs fifty silver taels. Isn't that a bit too much?" Tian You's heart ached when he heard this. Fifty taels of silver was still a piece of barren land.

There is, to be honest, a piece of barren land, but it is huge, a total of 50 mu of land. Calculating how much per mu of land it is, that is what the county means. Even if you don't buy it, you still can't buy it.

"Alright, I'll go back and take a look." Tian Youfeng touched his face. Fifty taels.

Although the Fang family gave their family ten taels of gold last time, it was still about a hundred taels of silver. Buying a wasteland with fifty taels of silver was equivalent to giving away half of their family wealth.
