Originally, Xinyan wanted to say she had money, but Han Jingchen also advised, "Since youâve made your decision, we as parents will support you. This is your momâs kind intention, so donât refuse it."
What more could Xinyan say? She had to accept her parentsâ goodwill.
Gu Wanqing was very generous with her daughter. The next day, she sorted everything out.
She handed Xinyan a bankbook, "Since you want to do it, then do it boldly. Mom believes in you."
She had previously lived abroad and could easily accept many of her daughterâs views. After hearing her daughterâs words that day, she was very optimistic about her daughterâs ideas.
Seeing the numbers in the bankbook, Xinyan was stunned by her motherâs generosity, "Mom, this is too much."
Gu Wanqing smiled gently, "I have always regretted missing your coming-of-age ceremony and thought of giving you a house to make up for it.
After hearing what you said that day, I changed my mind. I support you in doing what you want without worries. As long as youâre happy, then so is mom."
In the previous life, Xinyan had been exploited by her foster family, and she gave her heart and soul to those ingrates, always considering others, yet never received genuine kindness in return, leading to such an outcome.
In this life, with family who truly love her, and the chance to do what she wants, itâs truly wonderful.
Her eyes were a bit moist, "Mom, itâs so great to have you."
Gu Wanqing reached out and embraced her daughter, "Itâs great that you can come back to mom and dad. I should thank you."
Knowing what her daughter went through after leaving, besides the guilt and heartache, she felt a wave of fear. If anything happened to Yanyan, she and Han Jingchen might harbor lingering issues even if they reunited. She was very grateful for her daughterâs resilience and perseverance, and thankful to the heavens for blessing and protecting their family.
This daughter made her even more tender-hearted, and she always wanted to do something for her. Now, finally, she has the chance.
With her motherâs support, Xinyan tackled things vigorously.
A few days later, Xinyan, along with Ling Tianze and Qi Baocheng, successfully signed an agreement with Chongyang Village, seventy miles away from Beijing, with a lease term of fifteen years, and priority for renewal after expiry.
However, the agreement also stated that she could begin the renovation of this fallow land in the coming six months.
Xinyan found professionals and accompanied them for three full days, settling on a general plan before having Ling Tianze and Qi Baocheng recruit people from nearby villages to start renovating the leased barren mountains and hillsides.
Although Gu Wanqing provided enough money for Xinyan to cover the fifteen-year lease and the renovation funds, Xinyan only paid the three-year lease money as agreed, keeping the remaining funds for other purposes.
After things were sorted, Xinyan said to Ling Tianze and Qi Baocheng, who came with her, "From now on, youâll both be responsible for matters here. Communicate anytime thereâs an issue.
Moreover, Iâm thinking of providing you both with two trucks for easier travel between the city and here. Over the next few days, you can find a driver who can drive. Once you receive the trucks, let him drive to facilitate your travel.
However, itâd be best if you registered for a driverâs license, which will make things easier for you in the future. Iâll cover the cost of obtaining the driverâs license as a reward for your hard work during this period."
After all, the past few days, the two of them were running around in the elements, just to find a suitable place.
She could see clearly, if the farm develops well in the future, there would be room for expansion, and the neighboring villageâs hilltop is conveniently located.
It was clear that they had put effort into this.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the barren mountains are not claimed by others first.
To everyoneâs surprise, Qi Baocheng said, "I have a driverâs license, obtained during my time in the army."
After saying this, the expression on Qi Baochengâs face fell a bit, as if he remembered something.
Xinyan and Ling Tianze noticed, but neither asked about it.
Ling Tianze continued, "Alright then, Iâll find an affiliated unit to back me, obtain a certificate, and register for the exam to get the driverâs license as soon as possible."
