Du Lanqiu's tone was firm: "I thought so as early as two years ago, and my mother also knew it."

Two years ago, Qi Xiaojin wanted to marry Du Lanqiu, but the Chen family refused to live or die, and broke up the pair of childhood sweethearts.

A year later, Qi Xiaojin bowed his head to Chen and married Wang.

Qi Lele said, "Now that you have made up your mind, there are many ways."

Du Lanqiu wiped away her tears: "Tell me to hear it."

Qi Lele hooked his finger at her, and when the others approached, he whispered in her ear for a long time.

After hearing a few words, Du Lanqiu nodded again and again: "You have helped me a lot!"

Qi Lele said, "It's good to help you."

"Yes!"

"But in this way, you have no way out."

Du Lanqiu laughed, "What is a retreat? Is marrying someone else's family a way out? As far as I'm concerned, it's the same with whoever I marry, and I can at least accompany my mother, and I don't have to serve my in-laws."

Seeing her like this, Qi Lele was a little distressed.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to comfort him, Qi Lele said, "I have an idea to make money, are you interested?"

"Hurry up!"

"I just heard you say that you and your mother are copying books on weekdays?"

Du Lanqiu nodded: "My father has an old friend who runs a study in the city, and we have been copying books for him all these years, and others don't know about this."

Qi Lele said: "You know what I experienced before, I have heard a lot of strange things over there, maybe I can write a book and sell it."

Qi Lele originally wanted to cooperate with Xie Zi'an about this, but now she changed her mind and decided to try with Du Lanqiu first.

Du Lanqiu was obviously interested: "I'll hear it! I won't hide it from you, my mother also tried to write a book before, but it didn't sell well, and then she copied the book honestly."

"Is the script very profitable?"

"Of course! Reading a book is much more fun than reading a book! And not everyone who reads wants to be the top student."

Qi Lele laughed: "That's good! I'll tell you a little bit about it first, and let my aunt write it."

Du Lanqiu nodded, and shook his head again: "Forget it! You can go to my house another day and tell it, I'm afraid I won't tell it well, and I'm blind to such a good story of you."

"I haven't heard it yet, how do you know it's a good story?"

Du Lanqiu smiled, "I know."

Qi Lele also laughed.

Du Lanqiu stood up: "I should go back, otherwise my mother will be worried."

"Okay."

When he walked to the door, Du Lanqiu turned around, looked at Qi Lele, and said, "Siya, thank you."

Qi Lele was stunned: "You and I are sisters."

Du Lanqiu smiled, "Well, good sister!"

Seeing Du Lanqiu leave, Qi Lele was silent for a long time, only to feel that his heart was very blocked.

In this society where men are inferior to women, without the support of men, it is very difficult for women to survive well!

Until a carriage stopped outside the door, Xie Zi'an poked his head out: "Waiting for me?"

The bright sunlight fell on that handsome face, as if it had gilded him with a layer of golden light, Qi Lele finally realized that he was lucky, if he hadn't met Xie Zi'an, her life might not have been much better than Du Lanqiu.

Xie Zi'an jumped out of the carriage, took her hand and walked inside: "What happened?"

Qi Lele said, "Lan Qiu has just arrived."

Xie Zi was relieved and made a gesture of listening.

"She wanted to sell the woodland and asked us if we wanted it."

Xie Zi'an said, "Yes."

Qi Lele said, "Her uncles want to raise silkworms, but they don't have mulberry forests, so they want to marry her off and occupy her family's land."

Xie Zi'an said, "Shameless."

"She originally wanted to sell the land and leave, but I persuaded her."

Xie Zi'an bowed: "It's really inappropriate, first, it's not safe, second, it's true, and third, if it's found by the Du family, it's even more difficult."

"I gave her a bad idea."

Xie Zi'an raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's a bad idea?"

"Let her mother pretend to be sick, and then sell the land to cure the disease."

"That's a good idea, if there is no land and no money, those uncles will naturally stop."

Qi Lele said again, "No, they still want to marry her far away!"

"What then?"

"Lan Qiu said that he wanted to recruit a son-in-law."

Xie Zi settled down and said, "It's not bad."

Qi Lele looked at Xie Zi'an.

Xie Zi'an carried her into the room and said softly, "All living beings are suffering, and the only way to cross is to cross by themselves. You don't have to feel sorry for her, and she doesn't need your pity."

"Really?"

Xie Zi'an bowed: "Look, selling land and recruiting money is her original plan, and you just help her find a way to achieve it."

It seems that this is indeed the case.

"If she speaks, you can help her, you don't have to think about whether the result is good or bad, that is her choice after all."

Qi Lele let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that the depression that had been lingering in his heart had dissipated a lot.

"Why did you get back so quickly?"

Xie Zi'an said: "Uncle Wang is familiar with them, and there happen to be two families who are more suitable, so they bought them together."

"Two families?"

"Hmm."

Xie Zi'an didn't say much, Qi Lele didn't ask anymore, the family became slaves, the reason must be sad and helpless, just don't ask.

"Where do so many people live?"

Xie Zi'an said: "For the time being, squeeze in Uncle Wang's courtyard, and see how the character and ability are, and then set up a courtyard for them to live in after the spring sowing."

"Did you buy a good seed?"

"I've booked it, I'll pick it up in two days."

As he spoke, Xie Zi'an led her to the dresser: "I'll comb your hair, and then I'll go see them."

Qi Lele nodded and reminded, "Wear a silver hairpin."

Xie Zi'an's voice brought a little smile: "My mother specially found a bracelet to give you a hairpin, if you don't wear it, she will be disappointed."

"I don't want to wear it!" So expensive!

Xie Zi'an seemed to hear her heart: "Or do you want your mother to give you something more expensive?"

Qi Lele sighed: "Then let's wear a wooden hairpin for me."

So saying, he carefully took the wooden bracelet from the drawer and reverently circled it into his wrist.

Xie Zi'an watched her movements, with a smile in his eyes.

A moment later, the two went out of the room, and Uncle Wang was already standing in the courtyard with a few strangers.

"This is the eldest Chang Qingyun and Zhao's husband and wife, the second Chang Qingde, and the third Chang Qingde; This is Du Qiuliang and Tao's husband and wife, the second sister Du Qiurong, and the third Du Qiuli. They are all good at farming."

Qi Lele's gaze swept over everyone, these people looked pretty good in figure and spirit, not haggard, and not in a hurry, they looked similar to the villagers of Shangxi Village, they really didn't look like slaves. Maybe there is something hidden that makes me have to sell myself, right?

The person was bought back by Wang Yuzhong and Xie Zi'an, Qi Lele didn't think too much, but said, "Since you are a good farmer, let's plow the ground first." Don't hesitate to mention what tools you need, but do your job well."

A few people lowered their heads and answered, "Yes."

Qi Lele touched his nose and said, "You guys come here on the first day today, take a half-day rest for the time being, think about what tools you need, and we can also prepare, and tomorrow morning, we will go to the field together."

"Yes."

Qi Lele thought for a while, and then said, "If you lack anything else, you can also mention it."

"Yes."

Qi Lele inexplicably has a sense of domineering president facing the company's subordinates.
