But that was their family's business.
Wealthy Wong urgently needed money, so that very day, he transferred eighty acres of farmland and six acres of vegetable fields to the Xiao family with Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan.
The land deed still bore the names of the Xiao Family's three sons.
The news that the Xiao family had sold dried ferns and bayberry wine for over two thousand taels of silver and bought ninety acres of land from Wealthy Wong spread like wildfire everywhere.
Previously, the Xiao family had been the poorest in Wushan Village. After building a new house and buying ten acres of land just a while ago, and now another ninety acres, the Xiao family had suddenly become the largest local landlord in Wushan Village with a hundred acres of land in total.
Xiao Yishan carried two empty buckets to fetch water from the village well.
