“Can you really grow out something on that land?”
At the beginning, they thought he was just saying it, but…looking at his confident face, Han Fei also nearly believed it. They were farmers. How could they live without land? Before they had no money to buy land. Now that half-saline land could really grow something, he’d love to even if it’d cost all he had. Who didn’t want to earn money and let other look up at him? Those days when they got bullied, he had really had enough. If possible, he wished that they could create a brighter future for Tiewa.
“Hmm, I have ninety percent confidence, the remaining ten percent would rely on heaven’s blessing. For us, it is undoubtedly a huge gamble, if we fail, I’m afraid I will lose all of our savings, on the contrary, if we succeed, I’m sure, in three years, through the whole Cangzhou, even through the whole Qing Kingdom, we will have our name! So? Brother Zhao, brother Han, would you like to gamble on this with me?”
Ambition is the basis for human progress. If Ling Jingxuan alone, maybe he would be content with the status quo, with the money he earned now, he could sustain his life quite well. But he got his little buns, and his parents and brothers, and a man with a noble identity. So in the future, a lot of places needed money. So he must earn as much as he could. Only after accumulating a certain amount of money could he already own the speaking right wherever he went.
All the people in the room, including Yan Shengrui, cannot help looking at him in surprise. They had never known he was so ambitious. Now they even didn’t have a space in the little Ling village, let alone the whole Cangzhou. Who gave him the confidence to say that they’d have their name heard through the whole Qing Kingdom?
If one of them said he wasn’t suspicious at all, he was totally lying. Even Zhao Dalong and Han Fei who had already been a father were only in their twenties. In modern times, they even hadn’t graduated from college. The last thing that young men lacked of was got blood. So though they didn’t believe what he said, they still felt their blood was boiling, like the beast sleeping in their heart suddenly got awakened.
“All right, we’ll take the money, Jingxuan, I trust you, as long as you don’t mind, whatever you do, count us in.”
Han Fei and Zhao Dalong gave each other a look and nodded at each other, finally reached a decision.
“Me too, big brother.”
Unwilling to get left behind, Ling Jingpeng also hurriedly expressed his feelings, while Ling Jinghan said slowly, leaning on the chair, squinting his eyes, “Well, I won’t join you then. But I will make accounts for you. Even if someday I got listed, I will teach Shuisheng how to do it. I won’t let you have worries. So, just do it, guys!”
Backup was also very important. Ling Jinghan was crystal of his goal at the very beginning—getting listed! As long as he could get listed, his whole family could finally hold their heads high and people would no longer look down upon them.
“Hmm, then let’s divide the money.”
Nodding his head, Ling Jingxuan went to his working room and took out a stack of bank notes, and gave each of them a thousand and four hundred, even Yan Shengrui had his share, but only one hundred taels of silver, as his pin money.
“Jinghan, Jingpeng, we’d better not tell our parents how much we earn, just give them some spending money sometimes. Don’t give it all to them.”
After splitting the money, Ling Jingxuan suddenly said to his two younger brothers. Ling Chenglong was too indecisive and very suggestible. Now they could be called a big family in Ling Village. If some day those shameless people of old Ling family came to cotton up with them, maybe their parents would get soft-hearted. Although it wasn’t like they’d move back, giving material assistant to them was quite possible. Those who were good to them, he wouldn’t have any objection. But to those from old Ling family, he wouldn’t even spend a copper coin!
“Hmm, we know.”
The two brothers were not stupid, of course they knew what he was worried about, so they both nodded.
“By the way, brother Han, if you don’t find it too troublesome, you can go to Guarantor Liu to buy homestead, and build walls around like we do. And you can also redecorate your house. But if you don’t want to, forget about what I said. The main thing is the land. You can’t grow grains on the homestead, but you can plant some fruit trees. And then we won’t have to go deep in the mountains next year.”
Now his front yard was full of grapes, and all of them have survived under the watering using his crescent spring. Later, he planned to plant raspberries, pear mulberries and other fruit trees around and in the backyard. He watered them with the diluted crescent spring water every day, and maybe they would hang fruit next year.
“Well, I’ve also been thinking about that, but aren’t we going to start making jam again tomorrow? So I want to wait till we are done with this.”
To be honest, he had long been longing for Ling Jingxuan’s home, but now he was only planning to buy a land and encircle it. As for building a house thing, not now, at least after they bought the half-saline land.
“Haha… It seems that Brother Han has his own ideas. Brother Zhao, you really have a good wife!”
Business finished, Ling Jingxuan started to make jokes with them. Zhao Dalong was not a talkative man. Hearing him, he instantly blushed. The couple all got their face reddened. And Ling Jingxuan and his two younger brothers, and Yan Shengrui, all grinned. Who said it’s an embarrassing thing for a man marrying a man? If they could live a happy life, is there any difference marrying a man or a woman?
