In the afternoon, Qiao Duo'er and Hu's Clan sat in the courtyard plucking vegetables, only half done, when Tie Niu'er hurried over.
"Tan Family Four Sister-in-law, my dad asked me to come and ask if you want to buy land. It's paddy fields, right next to your fields, four acres total, six taels of silver per acre."
Tie Niu'er had blurted out everything her dad had entrusted her to say in one go.
Having said this, she thought carefully again, making sure everything that needed to be said was said, without any omissions.
Qiao Duo'er called out, "Tie Niu'er, come and sit down, I'll go pour you some tea, and I'll have a think about it."
Though they had made quite a sum from selling snow fungus, she and Tan Zhenghong had started from scratch, and there were many expenses, such as the recent drilling of two wells, which had cost twelve taels of silver.
Buying land at this critical juncture seemed a bit of a stretch.
