Furthermore, Jiang Mong had a rugged appearance, resembling her father. She was already twenty and still hadn’t married off. Flow is it that they only left for ten days, and Jiang Hong was already engaged?
However, it wasn’t appropriate to probe deeply into this matter here, so Jiang Chuan first addressed the issue of thend plot. “Captain, to be frank, on this trip to Grand Cloud Mountain, I gathered some wild mushrooms and found some fish. I happened to exchange them for money at the Locust Tree Bay market. Now I have some money on me. As soon as thend plot is in hand, I can start building right away. How can I get this plot?”
Jiang Chuan’s decision not to inquire about Jiang Gui’s affairs was wise. Zhou Fang’s family was not close with the vigers, so Wan Fang only knew that Jiang Hong was getting engaged but didn’t understand the specifics.
She learned about it because Jiang Gui just came to her house that morning to talk about it.
Whether for public or personal reasons, Zhou Fang naturally hoped Jiang Chuan could secure thend plot. He had managed to put off Jiang Gui in the morning, but it might be hard to justify if he just gave it to his younger brother that evening.<div>

Jiang Chuan knew Zhou Fang’s predicament, so he suggested, “Captain, thisnd plot isn’t actually for me, but to respond to the national call.”
“Oh? How so?”
“You see, the country has issued an order that all hunters on the mountains have to leave the mountain to settle down. If a vige epts the hunters on the mountains, isn’t that doing something for the country? The Zhang family now wants to settle in our vige. If they don’t have a ce to stay, they might consider other viges.”
Zhou Fang thought about it and felt that it made sense.
This could be an opportunity to shine in front of the leaders. If another vige acted first, wouldn’t the praise go to them instead?
Initially, Zhou Fang had been chastised in themune team leaders’ meetings because the vige chief had kept grain for Pushan Vige. If this achievement was also taken by others, it would be truly unjust!
“Alright, you can prepare then. Thisnd plot is yours. I will provide you with a documentter. But since you already have a plot under your name, this new one cannot be registered under you. Use your son-inw’s name.”
Jiang Chuan had been through many property disputes in the modern world, Jiang Chuan was somewhat sensitive about housing matters. However, considering the stable rtionship between his daughter and son-inw, he wasn’t too worried about future disputes. What’s important now was to secure thend plot.
“Okay, my son-inw’s name is Zhang Ping!”
Once the matter was settled, the two started to drink at ease.
When Zhou Lan just started cooking, the noise alerted her neighbor, Xiao Li, who thought it was a thief. He rushed over with a shlight. Seeing it was Zhou Lan’s family, he rxed.
“Sister-inw, you were gone for a long time. Many things happened in the vige. Don’t bother cooking now,e over and eat at my ce. We can chat.”
Grateful for the kind gesture, Zhou Lan, feeling a bitzy to cook, took her two daughters and went over.
Considering Xiao Li had been looking after their house, Zhou Lan brought along a basket of river shrimps and some mushrooms as a token of appreciation.
These were inexpensive little gifts, meant to foster good rtions with neighbors without making the other party feel ufortable.
The meal at Xiao Li’s house was much more modestpared to that of Zhou Fang’s. They only had stir-fried wild vegetables and a pot of coarse grain porridge. When Zhou Lan’s family arrived, they were offered some vegetable pancakes and meat sauce to satisfy their hunger.
After some small talk, Xiao Li got to the point.
“Sister-inw, justst night, Jiang Gui sneaked over to your house. I heard some noises and went out to see. He was about to climb the wall, but luckily I stopped him in time. That’s why I rushed over when 1 heard sounds earlier, thinking it might be him again.”
Zhou Lan clenched her fists in anger, “He still dares to covet my house! Next time 1 catch him, I won’t hesitate to give him a good beating.”
Xiao Li believed her words. Zhou Lan had made a name for herself with a previous incident, and nobody in the vige dared to provoke her.
Xiao Li continued, “I suspect he’s trying to find a house for Jiang Hong.”
“Oh? Why for Jiang Hong?”
Xiao Li was more informed on the matter than Wan Fang, so he exined.
A few days ago, a matchmaker from the town visited, speaking of a suitor with decent family conditions. He was an employee in a shopping all in the county town and was rumored to be fairly handsome.
Given such attractive prospects, vigers would undoubtedly vie to marry their daughters to him..</font>
