Gu Yundong secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly escaped from Liu Wei’s torment and ran out of the door.
Shi Dashan was sweating profusely, but his face was filled with excitement.
When Gu Yundong let him in, he immediately waved his hand and said, “Yundong, didn’t you say that you wanted to find more fruit forests? There are 50 acres of fruit forests in Anping Village next door. A landlord in town urgently needed money and took them out to sell.”
Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up. Anping Village was not far away and there were 50 acres. That was a rare opportunity.
Shi Dashan continued, “That land was originally planted with fruit trees. It’s a good land. It’s just that the landowner doesn’t know how to plant them, so the fruits they produce are astringent. Two years ago, they cut down fruit trees and planted some other things. The harvest wasn’t very good, so they didn’t manage it very well. Now that they’re selling it, the price should be able to be lowered. It’s just that the landowner asks the buyer to buy all 50 acres. This…”
At the end, Shi Dashan was a little worried.
It would cost a lot of money to buy this land. He did not know if she had enough.
Gu Yundong also calculated the money in her heart. She could not help but frown. She was tight on money.
However, her eyes quickly lit up. She said to Shi Dashan, “I’ll borrow the silver from someone else first. Uncle Dashan, help me go to Anping Village and ask around. See if there’s anyone else who wants to buy it and how much you can lower the price.”
“Alright.” Shi Dashan immediately turned around and left.
He happened to know someone in Anping Village. It was Gousheng’s father, Zhao Zhu.
Due to Gousheng’s close relationship with Zhuangzi, he had interacted with Zhao Zhu a lot. After a while, he became much more familiar with him.
Gu Yundong also hurried back to her room to look for Liu Wei.
Coincidentally, with such a rich young master around, it was not difficult to borrow money.
When the sugar was sold for a good price later, she would have the ability to return the money to him. At most, she would only need the money for liquidity for half a month.
Unexpectedly, when she reached the front yard, she did not see Liu Wei, who was still talking confidently just now.
There was only Shao Qingyuan there.
“Where’s Young Master Liu?”
Shao Qingyuan was holding a hoe and helping her rummage through the garden in the front yard. When he heard this, he stopped and said, “He left.” “Left??” F*ck, who said that he would talk about tricking Tao for a day and a night? She had only turned around to talk to Uncle Dashan, and he had already left?
Shao Qingyuan leaned the hoe against the wall. “I think he suddenly remembered something urgent. Why are you looking for him? He shouldn’t have gone far yet. I’ll call him back.”
With that, he was about to leave. Gu Yundong recalled that he had also run to chase after Liu Wei, who was sitting in the carriage. In the end, he did not even eat lunch or dinner and looked exhausted.
She hurriedly called out to him, “Wait, I’m fine…”
Although she said that, her brows were still slightly furrowed.
Suddenly, she looked up at Shao Qingyuan. Yes, if Liu Wei wasn’t around, wasn’t there still Shao Qingyuan?
Gu Yundong immediately walked to his side with a smile and coughed lightly. There was an obvious… purpose on her face.
Shao Qingyuan raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”
“Can you lend me some silver?” Not long ago, Shao Qingyuan had brought Liu Wei to the mountains to hunt two roe deers and a tiger. Liu Wei was generous and had promised to give him a hundred taels of silver as long as Shao Qingyuan brought him into the mountains to hunt roe deers.
In the end, Shao Qingyuan not only caught two roe deers, but also a tiger. In the end, he even saved Liu Wei’s life.
Gu Yundong did not ask how much money was given, but it was definitely a lot.
“Wait for me.” Shao Qingyuan didn’t even ask why she wanted money. He turned around and returned to his house.
Not long after, he came over with a box. “Here you go.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. Wasn’t this too straightforward?
She slowly opened the box. The next second, her eyes widened..
