Chapter 396: Chapter 372, Out of Line_1
After lunch, Xiao Yeyang hurried away with Defu.
“I wonder what happened that they rushed to call Yeyang back like that.” Grandma Gu was somewhat uneasy.
Daohua smiled and said, “Grandma, it probably wasn’t anything serious. I saw that Xiao Yeyang was quite relaxed when he left.”
Hearing this, Grandma Gu nodded, then smiled at Daohua and said, “You girl seem to understand Yeyang quite well.”
Daohua’s eyes curved into a smile, “That’s right, after all, I’ve known him for so many years. I might not understand everything about that guy, but I can roughly figure him out eight or nine times out of ten.”
Old Lady Yan said grumpily, “You become out of breath just by saying you’re fat!”
Daohua muttered, “But that’s the truth.” Seeing her own grandmother staring at her, she quickly laughed and changed the subject, “Grandmother, Grandma, Master, you’ve all been sitting for most of the morning, you must be tired. Go take a nap.”
Gu Jian nodded, “As one gets older, the body just doesn’t keep up. Sitting for half the day makes my waist sore.”
Subsequently, all three elderly people went to their respective rooms to rest.
After they lay down, Daohua took Wang Manman down the mountain to the estate.
Upon seeing Daohua, Qin Xiaoliu hastily dropped what he was doing and followed her, “Miss, I’ve got some leads on the estates you told me to look into.”
“The land in Ningmen Prefecture is cheap and many places are sparsely populated. The estates I’ve looked at are all quite big, the smallest being two to three thousand acres, and the largest has tens of thousands.”
Daohua pondered for a moment, “How’s the quality of the soil and the irrigation conditions?”
Qin Xiaoliu replied, “The estates I looked at are all next to rivers. The soil isn’t as good as in Xingzhou, but it’s still pretty decent.” Saying so, he took out some simple maps of several estates from his bosom.
