As for Ms. Liu, it was almost the same.
Unconsciously, Old Yang had apparently become like the clan chiefs of the great families, speaking words that others could not refute.
"Mother!" Ms. Liu was sitting on a stool, staring blankly and not speaking, not knowing what to think. Yang Ruoqiu called out to her.
But Ms. Liu didnât pay attention to her; Yang Dongzhi snorted, "Youâre satisfied now, arenât you? Look at how upset you made our mother. You really are filial."
At this point, Yang Ruoqiuâs troubles had been resolved, so she no longer wanted to deal with Yang Dongzhiâs taunts.
Looking at her mother like this, she could only feel a little heartache, "Mother, mother, mother... "
After calling out several times, Ms. Liu finally reacted.
"Mother, believe me, I will live well, and he will be good to me." Yang Ruoqiu saw that Ms. Liu had responded, and quickly reassured her.
Ms. Liu sighed and patted her head, "How old are you, and what do you know about happiness and misery? Besides, youâve only known him for a few days, and youâre already talking about a lifetime. Itâs a long time ahead."
In any case, she still minded that he was an actor, and said, "Actors, ah, theyâre no better than those from the brothels, not mentioning how theyâll be in the future. Just think about living in our village, and I donât know how many people will laugh at you for marrying an actor. Do you know how many people look down on actors?"
"Mother!" Yang Ruoqiu didnât want to hear this, "Life is to be lived for ourselves; whatâs the use of others pointing fingers and laughing? Can they live our lives for us? I might not have a bad life in the future; if I live well, who will laugh at me? Look at Uncle Sanâs family, didnât everyone used to gossip about him being disabled, and now do they dare to say this? Besides, even if my life is not good, thatâs my business."
Ms. Liu listened to her and finally shook her head silently.
However, Chen Sheng seemed like a decent young man. After returning home with his master, he went to the brokerâs the next day to buy land, and it was none other than Broker Liu whom he sought out.
He didnât buy much land, just four or five acres. It was relatively easy to buy, and within a few days, he had provided silver and obtained the land deed.
Afterward, he and his master came together to Yangshu Village and found Yang Chuxiaâs home.
Chen Sheng respectfully placed the land deed in front of Old Yang, "Sir, this is all I am capable of acquiring at the moment. In the future, I will work hard and acquire more, and I definitely wonât let Qiuâer suffer."
Old Yang looked at the deed, and although the land was not much, he didnât make it difficult for Chen Sheng. It was his attitude that mattered.
"Hmm, consider yourself as a young man with some sincerity." Old Yang nodded in satisfaction.
Chen Sheng saw that Old Yang was happy, so he put down his trepidation, as did his master.
Leader Chen said, "Old Grand Master, thereâs one more thing I need to trouble you with."
"What is it?"
"Itâs like this; my apprentice mentioned that he wants to settle down in Yangshu Village, but we donât know the Land Officer of Yangshu Village, so we donât know if you could help introduce him. To buy a house foundation, we definitely need to find the Land Officer. Weâre all prepared with money, we just donât know anyone." Leader Chen added.
When Old Yang heard this, he realized it wasnât a difficult request.
Seeing Yang Chuxia come in from outside, he said, "Xiaxia, take these two to your uncleâs house, they want to buy some land."
As Yang Chuxia saw Leader Chen and his group, she smiled, "I just came back from my uncleâs house, no need to go there specifically; my uncle just mentioned that he was coming over to discuss something with my grandfather."
