Recently, she seemed to be quite obedient. As long as she could continue, Ning Yan did not mind continuing to maintain her calm.
After going to the county city to look around, she brought Old Biddy Jia back from the county city. Seeing the Wu Yuvniang's happy look, Ning Yan finally felt a little relieved.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The mountain residents walked down from the mountain as per their agreement, and Ning Yan sent them to the yards in the outskirts of the city.
Le Er and Le Shiyi realised that there were suddenly so many people in the courtyard, they were alarmed and curious, the two of them hid in their rooms and looked out the window.
"Brother, why are there so many people?"
"How should I know?" Le Er replied softly and continued to look outside.
He realised that the new arrivals were all taller than the two of them, and the hair on their chests and legs were extremely thick. Le Er's eyes were filled with jealousy.
Men were already like this. It was nothing compared to how white and tender he was like a girl.
Ning Yan stood in front of them, holding onto a whip. The whip was silver in color and extremely tough.
The source of the whip was precisely the material obtained from the giant python that he hunted on the mountain last time.
The person Chen Huo knew was not a simple person, an inner armor that Ning had made was extremely useful, he did not know how to handle it.
The whip in her hand was extremely useful, and she felt a chill as she held it in her hand. When not in use, she could tie it around her waist as a belt, and when in use, she could just rip it off.
Ning Yan used the whip to hit the ground. The sound of something breaking through the air resounded and the villagers quietened down.
Ning Yan did not rush to train, she went around the place and said: "You all must have a lot of things to do since you all are here, I will not treat you guys too harshly, I will give you all a day to finish your private matters, at tomorrow's gathering point, the delinquents will go back to the mountain by themselves."
"Don't worry Lady Ning, we all know the rules."
"Alright, two of us will each go to a room. Choose your own." Ning Yan pointed to the room next to Le Shiyi's brother.
The mountaineers casually chose their rooms. They did not know what life would be like after today. If they knew, it would not be so easy.
Ning Yan looked at the mountain people's simple actions, and the smile on her face became wider and wider. Although she gave Chen Huo the task of training people, it did not mean that she did not care about these people.
This might be what she would need in the future. Transportation, information, even if she needed to earn money, she had to treat them well.
Ning Yan's gaze became gentler and gentler, just like those old mothers looking at their sons in the future.
Le Shiyi who was curled up in the room watched for a while, the goosebumps on his body all over trembling.
"Second Brother, I think that Manager Ning's current appearance is very scary."
"Those who have never seen the real world, just look at them for a little longer and they won't be scared." Le Er reached out and slapped Le Shiyi's head, retracting his wrist to take a look at the chaotic courtyard, his heart feeling a little heavy as well.
He always felt that he wouldn't be able to think of the future no matter how hard he tried.
Ning Yan turned her head to look at the direction of the room, seeing the two heads outside the window, she hesitated a little before walking over: "Do the two of you look like a strong body?"
"Can you grow a lot of fur just like those people in the yard?" Le Er pulled Le Shiyi behind him and asked the question he was most concerned about.
However …
Before Ning Yan could say anything, Le Shiyi's mutterings resounded in the courtyard: "All the Young Lady in the city like people who look white and tender, just like Big Brother Ah Wang."
"…" Le Er was startled, this was the first time he felt conflicted on the aesthetic of a woman.
"Wanting to woo a woman at such a young age? If your body isn't healthy, then there's no use trying to woo a woman even if you're sick. Who knows, maybe that woman might just run off with Old Wang next door."
"Grandpa Wang from next door won't be able to run …" Le Shiyi said, unfazed.
It was only then that Ning Yan found out that the house opposite the courtyard was the Wang family's.
"What's the point of talking so much? Should I train with them?"
"Yes." Le Er nodded, there was nothing bad about exercising for a bit.
"What about you?" Ning Yan looked at Le Shiyi. It was not a good thing for a child to think about women.
He should properly train her. After becoming tired like a dog, he would not have time to think about other women.
Le Shiyi wanted to shake his head, he felt that there would be disaster after he nodded his head.
But... Under Ning Yan's gaze, Le Shiyi did not dare to shake his head, and nodded with grievance: "I am following Second Brother."
"Then rest well today." Ning Yan said while grinning, and turned to leave after that. The murmur behind him sounded out once again, but Ning Yan did not take it seriously, she walked straight to the main house.
The interior of the house was extremely clean. As there was no one living in the house, the empty place made people feel extra terrified. After resting for a while, Ning Yan closed the door.
No matter how unique or how scientific it was, Ning Yan did not want to stay in her room.
After walking out of the courtyard and buying two skewers of candied fruits on the street, Ning Yan headed towards the village.
There were quite a few people carrying baskets in front of the door. After three days, the cellar in the house could no longer hold these fruits.
Ning Yan had no other choice but to dig the cellar with the people who picked the fruits.
This time, they could not dig in the courtyard anymore. If they continue to dig, the house would collapse, and Ning Yan would create a small clearing in the empty space behind the house.
He found the village chief and bought all the land near the house.
"The days in Girl Ning are getting better and better, don't be like those people who have never seen money before, if you have money, go to Huo Huo Huo. Listen to this old man, buy more land, this is not a bad thing."
"Then buy some fields." Ning Yan thought about it and decided to comply with the Village Chief's wishes. Buying more land would not bring any harm, in any case she would need to plant a large amount of cotton next year, only with land could she carry out the plan.
In one breath, Ning Yan bought more than twenty mu of land, and also stepped into the rich guy's class.
Because of the matter of Ning Yan spending money to collect the fruits, laughter could be heard everyday in the village. Other than the occasional sour sound from her Lao Ning Family, everyone else revered him when she spoke of Ning Yan.
Few people noticed that from the moment Ning Yan was rejected until now, her position in the village had slowly risen.
There were even some who tried to introduce their own daughters to Chen Huo and Zhou Yi who were guarding in his courtyard.
In the past few days, everyone in the village realised that Chen Huo was very nimble with his work.
Although he looked a little shabby, he was a big man. He didn't look good. It was hard to say if he was good at his work, whether it was in the fields or in the night.
With regards to all this, Ning Yan stopped and smiled.
Wu Yuvniang couldn't even move the hearts of these two men in the courtyard. How could the people in the village have that kind of ability? Ning Yan did not believe it.
Seeing the noise and happiness outside the courtyard, Ning Yan's heart calmed down.
The next day, as the sun rose, Ning Yan put on a set of clothes that made it easier to move about and ran towards the city with Chen Huo in tow.
Halfway there, Chen Huo used his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his face. He turned and looked at Ning Yan: "Lady Ning, we have a carriage, why are we running towards the city?"
"Because you are too weak."
"…" Chen Huo couldn't lift it in one breath, and almost fainted.
He was weak. Was this a joke? To be able to walk back from the battlefield, which one of them hadn't experienced the baptism of fire and war? Which one of them wouldn't be weak?
