Chapter 146 The Wang Family’s Small Goal
Su He turned to Wen Niang and said, "Wen Niang, your family is also ours, and everyone is treated the same. Our big family must be united in order to move forward smoothly. When we go to Yunhe in the future, our long-term development still depends on ourselves."
Everyone nodded excitedly, and they will get better and better in the future.
"Lotus, if we go alone, do we still need a small farm to live in?"
Zhou asked softly. She was very practical. No matter where they lived, houses and fields were the most serious and important things. Only with houses and fields could they be considered to have the prototype of a home.
Su He didn't dare to guarantee it. She had never lived with Chen Wen's parents and didn't know if they would be as generous as Chen.
"Aunt, maybe after we send our people there, they will only give us some gold and silver, and we will have no choice but to accept that. Zhuangzi, this is just my own idea. The arrangement to Yunhe will change with the total number of people we migrate and the level of wealth."
"The first thing we can do now is to take good care of Master Wen and escort him home safely. Another thing is to protect our own money. To put it bluntly, if you have tens of thousands of taels, you don't have to worry about housing and land wherever you go. We have to work hard to earn money."
Zhou nodded to show that she understood. "We can't decide what the noble wants to give us. The things are not ours. We still have to earn more money on our own."
"Yes, you can't put all your hopes on others. Only yourself and money are the most reliable. Think about it, will money cheat you? I have never seen anyone who cheats himself."
Everyone nodded in agreement, looking at Su He with admiration and respect. Only grandma felt that the words sounded familiar, which was really strange.
"Sister Hehua, how are we going to make money on the road? I don't know if there are any bandits or human traffickers behind us."
After Wang Liang finished speaking, he looked at everyone's eyes and thought he had said something wrong. He was about to explain it, but everyone started to think about it. They were peasants on the road with no land to farm, so the skill they just learned was robbery, which was indeed a way out.
When the grandfather heard his nephew's dangerous remarks, he angrily slapped the little grandfather next to him twice, saying that he was led astray by his nephew.
Grandpa: I didn’t say a word. It’s too much.
Su He quickly stopped everyone's thoughts, "Don't even think about robbery. We are from humble backgrounds, so we should focus on the farm. Don't worry, our Wang family will definitely not have a bad life."
Grandpa quickly agreed, "That's right, we can't forget our roots. Don't think about the robbery, this is unexpected money, don't tell anyone outside. Lotus, go on."
Su He nodded and said, after talking about her small family, let’s talk about the entire Tianyuan Village.
"If there are six hundred of us, the ideal situation would be to have a small village. If not, we would have to try to find a way to take root in Yunhe. We could use the old lady's influence to buy a small village. The worst result would be to move into different villages, but I don't think we will reach that point. I expect the worst result would be that all six hundred of us move into the same village."
Jin calculated her family's belongings and wondered how big a house she could afford with her thousand taels of silver.
"How much silver does that small farm cost?"
This question touched Su He's blind spot. She had only bought a house in Huaihe County. She sighed when she thought of that house and the shop that the old lady had given her. They were all in vain.
"A good one would cost less than ten thousand taels, and a worse one would cost about seven or eight thousand taels."
Su He conservatively gave a range.
The Wang family members around her gasped, and Zhou felt that the two thousand taels of silver in her family were simply not worth it.
"My God, the South is not a place for us peasants."
Su He nodded in agreement. If she was a maid who had just left the house, she would not have thought of going to the south. It was too impractical.
"Maybe Master Wen knows. Isn't he from the South?"
It suddenly occurred to Chrysanthemum that there was a ready-made person to consult.
Everyone turned their eyes to Chen Wen who was snoring across the street.
"You can mention it, but remember not to tell Master Wen about our desire for benefits, so as not to cause him to be disgusted and cause unnecessary trouble."
"In general, everyone works together to bring Master Wen home, and then we take the benefits we deserve and work hard to live. It's that simple."
Everyone expressed their understanding, and today's meeting ended like this.
Everyone dispersed. Grandpa frowned and said, "Hehua, when are you going to tell everyone about our group trip to Yunhe?"
"Just in the next few days, our Wang family has set a clear goal. Grandpa, to tell you the truth, I have enough money to buy a farm, but I am worried that it will not be smooth for us peasants to buy a farm without a backer. Besides, we can't explain where the ten thousand taels of silver came from. So I didn't tell everyone."
"I'm telling you this. If we can send Master Wen home safely, even if his parents are stingy, I know the old lady and they will not treat us unfairly. So I'm still somewhat confident about this manor. Just keep this in mind and I won't tell anyone for now."
Su He whispered in her grandfather's ear that she was 70% sure in her heart, but she would only tell others 40% or 50% and never be too sure.
After hearing this, the grandfather nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration for his granddaughter. A granddaughter who has received education is indeed different.
Lotus is a steady person.
"You did a good job. You should be more cautious. Since I have nothing to do anyway, I will ask my son to call some village leaders to have a chat and hear their ideas."
After grandpa finished speaking, he called Wang Zhi and Wang Liang to go together to invite people.
Everyone lived nearby, so we all arrived in no time.
Grandpa concealed the matter of Chen Wen and only said that his family wanted to return to their ancestral home in Yunhe. Yunhe is still three months away from Su'an, and the journey is long. He hopes that everyone will think it over carefully. It is also fine for those who don't want to stay in Su'an.
Grandpa's words were like a bolt from the blue to the village heads. They were all following Su He on the road and were about to live a good life in Su'an County. Now that Su He and his family were gone, what should they do?
"We, the Wang family, must go to Yunhe. As for the remaining 500 villagers, we don't need to give an answer today. We can talk about it after we get to Su'an."
My grandfather was a straightforward man. He just let the people go after he finished speaking.
Wang Zhun and his companions came in confusion and left heartbroken.
"Isn't Su'an good enough? Why do we have to go so far to Yunhe?"
Village Chief Xu couldn't understand, and to be honest he didn't want to go.
Su Yumin didn't say anything. He was going to go back and discuss it with his father.
Wang Zhun recalled the scene he had just seen. The young man on the kang did not seem to be a member of the Wang family. Why was he sleeping on Hehua's bed?
It's certainly not that simple.
When Chen Wen opened his eyes again, the light in the room turned warm yellow, the quilt was warm, his hands and feet were free, and he could hear low conversations and the sound of clothes rustling. Chen Wen did not feel disgusted at all, but felt very safe instead.
