Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 568 - 567: No Comparison

Liu sighed lightly and said, "In a while, go pack your things and have your uncle send you back."

Liu Xiangdie’s face turned pale, and she instinctively glanced at He Qiuge, only to see him coldly staring in this direction, saying nothing.

Liu Xiaoting sighed inwardly, barely getting a chance to spend time with her cousin, only to have Liu Xiangdie disrupt it.

"Still crying?" He Yang said harshly, "From now on, stay at home. Don’t go to the town for the time being."

He Qiutian was most afraid of He Yang. Her father always wore a stern face and was never loving or smiling, so she had been somewhat fearful since childhood.

Being scolded like this, her body involuntarily trembled, and her sobbing voice nearly got stuck in her throat.

"Xiaoting, you stay and keep your cousin company." Liu looked at Liu Xiangdie and said, "Xiangdie, you’re not young anymore. Your parents are busy with business, and you can’t stay in the countryside all the time. You should go back and help your parents."

Liu Xiaoting was inwardly delighted and quickly replied obediently.

As for Liu Xiangdie, she was as if struck by lightning, standing dumbly in place.

Recently, He Qiuge had been in the village; if she went back, she didn’t know when she would see him again.

Liu shook her head and sighed lightly, looking at He Qiuge and asked, "Where’s your grandfather?"

"He should have gone to the town," He Qiuge said, "The Third Young Lady bought the mountain land behind the village. She’s going to finalize the deed and take Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Li along, saying she wants to take them shopping."

"Mountain land behind the village?" He Yang frowned, "What’s Qinglan planning, buying that land for no reason?"

He Qiuge said, "She said she wants to plant fruit."

"Plant fruit? What kind of fruit trees?" He Yang pondered, "How many acres did she buy?"

"We’re not sure what kind of fruit trees yet," He Qiuge said, "but she bought two hundred acres."

"Two hundred acres!" He Yang and Liu were simultaneously shocked.

"If I remember correctly, the mountain land costs one tael per acre, right? So two hundred acres would be... two hundred taels?"

Liu’s voice was trembling as she spoke the last sentence.

Though the He Family had some savings, taking out two hundred taels all at once would still be challenging.

Liu clicked her tongue and sighed, "That Third Young Lady is really capable. Such a promising future at such a young age."

She glanced at He Qiutian, and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

People are really incomparable, nor should they be compared.

"The Shen Family has finally risen," He Yang said, "Struggled through the first half of their lives, but henceforth, it’s enjoyment. Having such a promising daughter is no worse than those wealthy lords."

"Indeed," Liu sighed, "It’s their fortune; we can’t covet it."

Their conversation not only pierced Liu Xiangdie’s heart but also He Qiutian’s.

Thinking closely, they were not much different in age; Liu Xiangdie was even a year or two older than Shen Qinglan, but Shen could casually take out two hundred taels, and had opened a tavern and a teahouse, living in Baihua Lane where they dreamed of.

In contrast, they were still like children, dissatisfied with everything, criticizing others all the time. No wonder people always praised Shen Qinglan.

Liu Xiangdie glanced at He Qiuge and silently turned to go pack her things.

Liu Xiaoting, being sensible, followed her to help pack.

He Qiuge handed the shrimp paste and dried little fish to Liu, "These were brought by the Third Young Lady for Grandpa. She said they were from Nanfeng Country. Grandpa Shen said to stew the shrimp paste with pork belly and eat it with porridge. Mother, you do as you see fit."

Liu took the basket with mixed emotions and looked at her daughter standing idly by, saying, "Go wash your face and rest well."
