Zhou Wang's wife clapped her hands, "Look at my memory, I had just forgotten because of the distraction. These past few years have been blessed with favorable weather and good harvests. Every family has earned some Silver Coin, and your uncle asked several villages, but there were only a few sellers, all selling just a few acres at a time—no large estate sales."
Zhulan frowned, "It's not easy to manage if it's not in one piece."
Zhou Wang's wife sighed, "That's exactly it. If you want to purchase a large tract, you'd have to buy from the squire, but there's little hope of that."
With these rare good years, everyone wants to farm the land and earn more Silver Coin.
Madame Zheng pinched her handkerchief, still having not spoken up because the Clan Leader's wife was present, and sipped her honey water with her head lowered.
