Chapter 159: Buying a Small Mountain

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shi Dashan and his wife did not know why Gu Yundong wanted them to stay. At this moment, they were sitting upright in the central room and quietly looking at the brand new house.

No matter what, living in such a house was enviable and comfortable. They did not know when they could build one.

If they built a new house, Zhuangzi would not have to worry about getting a wife.

However, they were still in debt.

The two of them looked at each other and sighed.

Gu Yundong came in at this time. Seeing this, she could not help but laugh. “What’s wrong? Uncle and Aunt Shi must have waited for a long time. I’m sorry.”

The two of them quickly stood up. “Not long, not long. Yundong asked us to stay and talk about something. What exactly is it? If you need help, just tell us.”

“I really have something to ask Uncle and Aunt Shi for help with.” Gu Yundong asked the two of them to sit and fetched water for them. Then, she sat opposite them and said, “I went to see Uncle Shi’s fruit forest. The fruits planted are really good. I want to buy land to specially plant fruits. The workload is a little large, so I want you to help me take a look at the most suitable land in this village or the neighboring village. If you can handle it, I also want you to help me manage the fruit forest. Of course, I still have to hire more people, and the salary will not be low.”

The couple was stunned and looked at her in disbelief. “Fruit forest??”

“Yes, I don’t know if you’re willing.” Gu Yundong more or less understood the couple’s personalities.

They were actually very enthusiastic about planting fruit trees and took care of their fruit forest as if it was their children. When she went to their field back then, she saw the couple looking at their fruit forest with pure satisfaction. It was really infectious.

Did they think of planting more fruits? Of course they did.

However, they were too timid. The things that had happened in the past scared them, so they didn’t dare to do it again.

That was why Gu Yundong wanted them to help manage the orchard. She thought that when they saw large fruit orchards one day, they would be filled with a sense of accomplishment.

As expected, the couple looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

“How, how big?” Shi Dashan asked.

“I can’t tell how big it is now. It depends on whether there is land. Of course, the bigger the better,” Gu Yundong said.

Even if it was small now, she could buy more in the future.

“So, what kind of fruit tree do you want to grow?”

The soil needed for various fruits was naturally different. Some could be planted together, but some were not suitable.

Gu Yundong felt that the thing that needed to be planted in large quantities at the moment was… “Sugarcane.”

Shi Dashan thought for a moment and said, “Actually, there’s a small mountain on the east side of our village. It’s very suitable, but it’s not very big.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I used to think about buying that place when I had the money. But later…” He did not dare to. “It’s about thirty acres. Do you want to take a look?”

“Yes.”

Gu Yundong immediately stood up and followed Shi Dashan and his wife to the eastern mountain.

Although it was called a mountain, it was actually a slope. Of course, it was different from the deep mountains.

She couldn’t tell anything. Even after reading two books, she still didn’t understand what sand, loam, and clay were. However, looking at Shi Dashan’s happy expression, she knew that this was a good land.

After looking around, Gu Yundong went to look for the village chief.

Chen Liang did not expect that she had already decided to buy a small mountain before he could help her find a good land..
