Chapter 284 Xie Ying: That's too much!
Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao were also shocked!
What? There's a coal mine under that forest?
The two of them looked at each other quietly: If this is true, the value of that forest is huge!
Xie Xiu quickly said, "I know my uncle likes Yingying, so he wants to give her a gift. But that piece of forest is too valuable after all. It's really not right to give it all to Yingying."
Luo Zheng no longer insisted this time, but changed his words and said: "It is indeed a bit inappropriate. It was you who took back the Luo family's property, so you should have a share.
Since you've already bought the forest, we'll each own half. I'll give Yingying one-third of my half."
In Luo Zheng's opinion, Xie Ying was the biggest contributor to his reunion with his wife and children, so it would not be excessive to give all the Luo family's property that belonged to him to Xie Ying.
However, if there really is a coal mine under that forest, it would be inappropriate to give it all to Xie Ying.
The benefits are too great to be monopolized by Xie Ying. She must give a portion to Xie Xiu so that he can share it with his children in the future.
He couldn't not take it, otherwise Xie Xiu's family would definitely not be able to rest easy.
Sure enough, after he said that, Xie Xiu stopped refusing, and Xie Ying's expression became much more relaxed.
[What kind of great uncle is this? He's so generous!]
Luo Zheng couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking that this girl was becoming more and more interesting. She knew there was a coal mine underneath, but she wasn't greedy at all.
How could he know that Xie Ying possessed wood-related abilities, and that the Xiangxiang in the contract could even take root underground and be used to find minerals.
Since Xie Ying was able to discover the coal mine through Xiangxiang, she could naturally also discover gold, silver, copper, jade and various gemstone mines.
How could he have conflicts with his brothers and sisters over a coal mine?
Xie Xiu bought the forest with the money from the Luo family.
Luo Zheng gave them all to Xie Ying, who naturally felt it was too hot to handle.
When she grows up, there will be plenty of ways to make money.
In the future, she will not feel guilty even if she does not share the money she earns.
But this time it won’t work, after all, it’s not her own money that she is spending.
Thinking of that huge coal mine, Xie Ying couldn't help but laugh. But when she thought about such a large coal mine, and how her family was so poor that they could only buy a small piece of it, Xie Ying couldn't help but feel sorry for it.
[Oh, it would be great if I could buy all the surrounding area. It would be such a huge mine.]
Luo Zheng, Xie Xiu and others: "???!!!"
Are there any more around?
Such a big mine?
How big is it?
Several people pricked up their ears involuntarily and looked at Xie Ying quietly, hoping that she would continue.
Xie Ying stopped talking.
After all, she couldn't help feeling sad whenever she thought of the large piece of land that she hadn't bought yet.
Seeing that she refused to talk any more, Luo Zheng didn't feel disappointed. Since it was a large mine, he just needed to find a way to buy the nearby land.
And the bigger the coal mine, the more beneficial it is to them.
If they take all the advantage, others will inevitably be jealous.
But if more people come in to share the profits, they will naturally be much safer.
Luo Zheng immediately decided to consult Feng Xinyi, who had just mentioned the idea of growing medicinal herbs. She had heard that Xie Xiu had purchased the Chen family's forest and was worried he'd lose money, so she approached him and suggested growing herbs there.
Now it's just the right time to use this as an excuse.
He looked at Xie Ying again and saw that she was frowning and looked painful, which he secretly found funny.
Then he deliberately said to Xie Xiu, "Have you thought about what you want to do with that forest? I heard that you can grow medicinal herbs in the forest, why don't you give it a try. Don't you and Jiang Er get along well? Why not mention it to him and ask him to buy a piece of forest to grow medicinal herbs as well?"
Xie Xiu instantly understood what Luo Zheng meant.
Once a coal mine is discovered in the Chen family's forest, his sudden move to buy the forest will arouse the jealousy and suspicion of outsiders.
So we have to come up with a reason.
Buying them to grow medicinal herbs is indeed a very good excuse.
The medicinal material is of high value. If it can be grown on a large scale, the profits will definitely be huge.
In this way, it became reasonable for him to spend 100,000 taels of silver to buy a large tract of forest.
Moreover, if he could get Jiang Er to make money together, he could also take the opportunity to flatter Concubine Jiang. After the coal mine was dug out, with Concubine Jiang as the big Buddha, no one would dare to touch him even if they were jealous.
Xie Xiu immediately smiled and said, "Jiang Er just came to me and wanted to help me share some of the burden. I originally thought that the land was not valuable and I couldn't cause him any trouble.
Since my uncle said we can grow medicinal herbs, I can mention it to him and ask him to buy a piece of land and try it out. Since he treats me as a friend, I naturally can't treat him unfairly.
Xie Ying also thought it was a great idea. She grinned like a fat fox that had stolen a chicken leg: [Digging out coal while growing medicinal herbs, that makes sense, right?]
Xie Rou couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard her baby voice.
Startled, Xie Ying turned around and looked at her in confusion: "Strange, what are you laughing at, sister? Did I just miss something? What's so funny? Did my brother do something stupid again?"
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Xie Di curiously, as if she couldn't wait to eat the melon.
Xie Di opened his eyes wide in confusion, not understanding why everyone was suddenly looking at him.
However, he was a little flattered by being watched by so many people, so he couldn't help but chuckle.
Xie Ying narrowed her eyes: [It seems to be him! What a poor kid, he doesn't even realize he's being laughed at by his sister.]
Luo Zheng, Xie Xiu, Tu Jiaojiao, and Xie Rou: "..."
Suddenly I don’t know whether I should sympathize with Xie Ying or Xie Di.
"Cough!" Luo Zheng suddenly coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back.
He said to Xie Xiu, "It's good that you think this way. Also, it's best not to reveal my identity.
So you guys should still manage my share, and when you make money in the future, you can give it to me. I still have some things to deal with, so I won’t keep any more.”
After saying that, he handed Xie Ying to Xie Xiu and prepared to turn around and leave.
Xie Ying's face was filled with reluctance: [Hey, my uncle just arrived and he's leaving! I haven't seen enough yet.]
Luo Zheng pinched Xie Ying's chubby face speechlessly: "What's so good about me? You're a girl, you can't be naughty at such a young age."
Xie Ying instantly became depressed and glared at Luo Zheng pitifully: "Bad!"
[This is too much! Bullying a child!]
Luo Zheng smiled at her proudly, then strode away.
Xie Ying widened her eyes in dissatisfaction, almost wanting to cry in front of him! But after thinking it over, she decided not to.
The main reason is that crying is too tiring and strains the throat.
It's really not worth it to tire yourself out for such a small matter.
Xie Rou secretly observed Xie Ying's reaction. Seeing that she was troubled for a while and then relaxed her brows, she couldn't help but feel funny: My sister is so interesting!
Then she looked at Xie Di again.
He was just looking around curiously, with a silly look as if he had no idea what was going on.
Perhaps noticing Xie Rou's gaze, Xie Di suddenly smiled sweetly at her, which made Xie Rou's heart soften instantly. She wanted to hug her brother and give him a big kiss.
Oh, how can her brothers and sisters be so cute!
On the other hand, after Luo Zheng came out of Xie's house, he went to Duobao Pavilion to meet the shopkeeper there and asked him to find a way to buy the land near Chen's forest, the bigger the better.
Although the shopkeeper was surprised, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly got to work.
He thought it wouldn't be difficult to buy the land there. But when he asked around, he heard that the Princess's Mansion was also buying land there!
The shopkeeper was very surprised and quickly reported the matter to Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng was also surprised when he heard this: Why did the eldest princess also set her eyes on that piece of land?
