After transmigrating,The Female Supporting Character Became Darling of The Five

Chapter 134: Buying Land

　　In the evening, when the Su family was free, Su Wan told her family about her idea of turning the several acres of farmland at home into a flower field.
　　So, after dinner, the family sat around the eight-immortal table.
　　"I want to make many different kinds of soaps, and the flowers needed are also necessary, but the piece of land behind our house is still not enough, so I want to discuss with my parents and brothers that the farmland at home will not be planted this year, but used to plant flowers.
　　Our family is not short of money to buy food now. I have some other plans at that time, but now it has just started, and I have to take it slowly."
　　Su's mother didn't have any objections, but Su's father was a little hesitant. He was an authentic farmer, and his previous generations were all mud-legged.
　　Ordinary people like them rely on the fields at home to make a living. Although things are different now and their family is rich, he still wants to plant some land to feel more at ease.
　　Su Wan understood his thoughts and nodded, which was understandable.
　　So, she thought about spending money to buy a few acres of land, preferably close to home. If it was too far, it would be difficult for her to manage.
　　The villagers of Yangao'ao used their fields to feed their families. If she asked them to buy it, no one would be willing.
　　After thinking about it, she couldn't think of a good solution until Su Mu spoke up and made a suggestion:
　　"Let's find Jiang Sheng. Their land has been vacant and they have been in a panic for these years. His mother is in poor health, and he and his wife have just started a family. They can't afford the burden of the few acres of land. I'm afraid they can't grow any food. Why not just buy the land from them? They can also get some money to support their family. Jiang Sheng is a good person and he is honest and decent."
　　Su's mother agreed with her son's words and immediately replied:
　　"Your second brother said that, and I remembered that Jiang Sheng's land was indeed barren. When his father died, he was very young and couldn't farm at all. Although he is married now, Jiao Xing is still young and thin. How can she be a farmer? She can only do some housework at home and take care of her sick mother-in-law. The couple can grow some vegetables and so on. Your second brother has given you a good idea.
　　Your father is a stubborn person. He has developed feelings for those acres of land and is reluctant to leave them abandoned. Don't argue with him. After all, our family doesn't lack this little money."
　　"Wanwan, it's not that Dad is reluctant to give you the land to farm. It's just that when your grandfather died, he told you that as long as I am still in Yangao, the land must be used to grow food."
　　Su's father explained to Su Wan clearly, and he also had his own considerations.
　　The ancients attached great importance to filial piety, and the last words left by the old father had to be kept.
　　"Dad, you don't have to blame yourself. I understand. Then, follow what my second brother said and go find Jiang Sheng to buy land. Jiang Sheng's family is not easy either. I'm thinking that we can ask them to help our family in the future. Once the business is up and running, we will definitely be short of manpower. We need a few trustworthy and honest people to help us. I've also observed that he is a person who knows how to repay kindness. He has been helping to build a house at home for some time. Not only does he not ask for wages, but he is also willing to work hard. We can also do some good deeds and help him."
　　Su Wan saw that there were not many people in the village who could deal with them. There were only a few families. If they needed it, they would ask them to do things.
　　One of them was the Chen family, and the other was the Zhao family. They had a good relationship with the Su family. The fathers of the two families were good brothers with Su's father.
　　Aunt Chen was gentle and careful in her work. In her impression, every time Su Wan saw her, she would greet him with a smile. Once, the family cooked boiled eggs and gave Su Wan one.
　　At that time, Su Wan had just returned to the Su family not long ago, which was a rare kindness.
　　Aunt Zhao is straightforward and straightforward, and she is not shy. She always helped Su Wan to speak up before, and she can't stand those who are arrogant.
　　But she is also very enthusiastic, and she will help as much as she can.
　　Aunt Chen has two daughters and a son. Both daughters are married, and there is a ten-year-old son who studies in the school run by the village scholar. Aunt Zhao has two sons, who have married, and has granddaughters and grandsons. The two daughters-in-law are also very well-behaved and obedient, and the relationship between the sisters-in-law is very harmonious.
　　Only when the mother-in-law knows how to behave and reconcile, the family will be harmonious. Generally speaking, women who can manage the family well will not be too bad.
　　Su Wan went to Jiang Sheng to talk about buying land. She had already learned about it. According to the market price, one mu of land is twenty taels of silver. The land can produce grain every year, so it is naturally expensive. Their family has three mu of land, and they have been panicking for a long time. It is only worth fifteen or sixteen taels at most, but Su Wan still bought it at twenty taels per mu.
　　Jiang Sheng was very embarrassed. He didn't plant the land himself, so it was left there. Now Su Wan wanted to buy it and offered such a high price, so he said he would give less.
　　But Su Wan had already prepared the silver. Sixty taels was not a small amount. She had obtained the land deed before, and the three acres of land would belong to her in the future.
　　Not only that, Su Wan also hired Jiang Sheng and his wife to help him take care of the flower fields in the future.
　　Taking care of the flower fields is simpler than farming. Usually, they just watered, weeded, and removed dead leaves, but once they want to do this, they have to do it themselves, loosen the soil, weed, and sow.
　　In the early stage, Su Wan would assist them and tell them how to plant which flowers, how many days to water which flowers, and how much to water. That was all knowledge.
　　Xiangzhou Prefecture has a pleasant climate, no drought or rain disasters, and normal rainfall, which is more suitable for planting flowers and plants.
　　Moreover, in summer, although it is hot, the sun is not too strong, so flowers and plants can survive.
　　This place is equivalent to the modern Yunnan area, which is suitable for growing flowers.
　　But during this period, people's appreciation of flowers and plants, except for some nobles and famous families, ordinary people did not care much about it. After all, in their view, having enough food to eat is the most important thing.
　　Su Wan paid them three taels of silver per person per month. They didn't have to go far away, they were near home, and they could take care of their elders. It couldn't be better.
　　When there was nothing to do in the field, they would go to Su's house to help package soaps and so on.
　　Jiang Sheng received the silver for buying the field, and took out another forty taels of silver on the spot and returned it to Su Wan.
　　"Su Wan, this forty taels is owed to Jiang Yu. He said that if he was not here, I would have to return the silver to you. Now I return the silver to you, and I don't have any burden in my heart."
　　Jiang Sheng took the silver and didn't think about saving it, but cleared the account as soon as possible.
　　Su Wan didn't refuse and accepted the silver. If he had the chance to see Jiang Yu again, it wouldn't be too late to return it to him.
　　Moreover, Jiang Sheng and his wife now have something to do. She gives them a monthly allowance. The two of them add up to six taels of silver, which is enough for the three people in the family.
　　If you save a little, you can save a lot.
