After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 144 Xu Qinghe Can't Stay Still

"How can things be so simple..."

Hearing Yuxiu's words, the old princess smiled helplessly and continued:

"Your great aunt is not in the capital now. She followed her husband's family to Taiyuan Prefecture a long time ago. It has been more than ten years since she came back to the capital. Now our two families only send people to send gifts during festivals."

So even if she suspected that Xu Muyun had done something behind the scenes, the old princess had no way to investigate since there was no evidence at all.

It was only because Yuxiu had the system plug-in that she was able to determine the relationship between Xu Qinghe and the old princess, otherwise she would not have found any clues at all.

"Then don't think too much about it for now, grandma. Anyway, our family is fine now, so we can take our time with other things. I believe the truth will come out one day."

Yuxiu comforted the old princess, but in her heart she was thinking that the Xu family dared to treat their second branch so harshly, and Xu Qinghai and Xu Qingjiang even dared to kill Xu Qinghe. Maybe they also knew something.

Xu Qinghe had said before that the old butler had sent people to look for clues about old Xu's family, and maybe they would bring people back one day.

The grandparents chatted affectionately for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, the old princess, although very reluctant, still watched Yuxiu leave reluctantly.

Early the next morning, Yuxiu was awakened by the noise outside.

"Qingdai, what are you doing outside?"

Yuxiu heard Qingdai and Qingzhi whispering, so she shouted and asked.

"Has the young lady been woken up?"

Hearing Yuxiu's voice, two maids pushed the door open. Qingdai was holding a basin of water, while Qingzhi was holding some toiletries.

"It's the master and the mistress. They are discussing what to plant in the yard..."

Seeing that Yuxiu was sleeping in a daze, Qingdai quickly told her what happened outside.

It turned out that Xu Qinghe and Cui got up early in the morning. Now that they have a new home, they naturally want to plan it well.

There was only a small amount of land in the backyard, which used to be planted with flowers and plants. Now it was late autumn, and the flower beds were overgrown with weeds and looked terrible, so the two of them decided to pull out the weeds and renovate the garden.

So the couple had an argument. As a genuine countryman, Xu Qinghe naturally didn't want to plant all that land with flowers and grass.

According to his idea, some flowers and plants can be planted, but there is no need to plant so many. It is enough to plant flowers and plants in his daughter's yard and their yard. As for such a large garden, he wants to plant vegetables, fruits, etc. in it, which can also save the mansion some expenses.

How could Cui agree with his idea?

"You have been farming in Old Xu's farmland for so many years and you still haven't had enough. It would be great to have a nice garden to enjoy the flowers and scenery. It would be so depressing if I asked you to plant radishes and cabbages instead."

This cannot be blamed on Cui. If she had not had the experience of traveling with her master in her dream, she would definitely have the same reaction as Xu Qinghe when she saw such a large garden.

They are all people who have truly experienced hunger and hardship. They will not worry as long as there is food at home. Flowers and plants are not as pleasing as things that can actually fill the stomach.

But now her horizons have broadened. She can make any vegetable, from carrots to cabbages, by simply making a few pills and selling them, and she can buy back several large carriages. The whole family can’t finish the food for several days. Why should she work harder and make herself suffer?

So when Yuxiu had packed up and rushed over, the two were still trying to convince each other, but she quickly interrupted them.

"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"

Seeing their daughter coming over, Xu Qinghe and Cui finally realized that their noises might have been too loud and woken up the child.

"It's okay, it's just that your father can't sit still and wants to find something to do for himself."

Cui glared at Xu Qinghe fiercely and told him not to mention this matter again.

"Hehe...we were just discussing what flowers and plants to plant here. Forget that this place is too close to your house and woke you up."

Xu Qinghe touched his head awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

He also forgot one thing. This is the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, but under the feet of the emperor, he still regarded himself as a countryman from Xujia Village who only knew how to farm.

"It's time to wake up. Today I called Qian Da from the pawnbroker over and asked him to take us to buy two farms."

Yuxiu had just thought of this matter, so she immediately asked Qingdai to go out and tell Zhang Wentang to ask him to ask someone to invite Qian Da over.

"Do we still have money to buy a farm?"

Xu Qinghe was a little surprised. He had just spent a lot of money to buy two houses, and he thought his family was about to fall apart.

As the head of the family and the only grown man in the family, he originally wanted to wait for two days to see if he could find a job or something.

"We saved the daughter of the city lord in Yanyun City before, and they gave us some gifts as a thank you."

This was silver money in plain sight, so Yuxiu used it to evade the question.

Hearing that someone gave tens of thousands of silver notes as a thank-you gift all at once, Xu Qinghe couldn't help but be surprised.

"Then when we buy the farm, we will be self-sufficient and won't have to go out to buy food. Then we can raise some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, lambs, etc., which will be enough to feed our family..."

Xu Qinghe had already begun to imagine the happiness of having Zhuangzi. Yuxiu and Cui looked at each other and couldn't help feeling a little sad. He was used to doing chores in old Xu's house. Now that he was left at home doing nothing, he would feel insecure.

"Qian Da should be here soon, so let's go eat first. We'll be busy after that."

When Cui saw Zisu and Furong peeking out from outside the yard, she knew that breakfast might be ready. Seeing that the family was talking together, she was tactful enough not to come over to disturb them.

Sure enough, just as Yuxiu's family put down their bowls and chopsticks, Yu Guifu trotted in and said that Qian Da had arrived and was invited by Zhang Wentang to wait in the front hall.

Qian Da had high hopes for Yuxiu's new big customer. In just a few days since the customer came, he had already spent tens of thousands of taels in his house.

Yuxiu is a little girl who always does things in a straightforward and decisive manner, and he is willing to deal with such people.

So when he heard that the Xu family wanted to buy a farm and asked him to come with books, he quickly asked a few of his apprentices to get busy and bought all the large and small farms and fields that were slightly better near the capital.
