Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Chapter 217: Be Cautious

Now An An has completed another upgrade, because the Zhou family can provide her with a lot of energy bonus.

People from the Zhou family can also get her koi bonus.

So she is not stingy when it comes to consuming energy.

Qin Ying felt that she had sharp ears and eyes. When reading, she could often read ten lines at a glance and apply what she learned to other situations. She was also incredibly smooth in doing things.

This way, there will be more free time.

An An pestered her everywhere.

Whenever he saw an abandoned farm, he would encourage Qin Ying to buy it.

However, in just two days, Qin Ying bought three farms. If she wasn't afraid of being too eye-catching, she would have bought more according to An An's suggestion.

Those who are favored by An An are naturally the best of the best. She can build several "greenhouses" according to her ideas, which will be very good for seedling cultivation and breeding.

They had important work to do here and had not returned to the city for several days. Zhou Yu would come to meet with them every night, and they would talk to each other about what they had seen and gained that day.

Hearing Qin Ying mention his regrets about buying the manor, Zhou Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Just tell me! Which ones have you taken a fancy to? Are the prices suitable? I can find someone to help us so that it won't be owned by our family."

Qin Ying's eyes lit up, and she immediately pointed out the points that An An mentioned, and said, "The silver is all collected."

"You still have money?" It was Zhou Yu's turn to be surprised. "Is your shop so valuable?"

Qin Ying glanced at An An with a smile and said, "It's not just the shops in Qin County. Didn't we also open some along the way? I didn't expect that they've already started to make a profit.

“The land we bought has also been rented out, and we get some rent from it.

"An An and I plan to sort out things at the farm and then go to the city for a walk. If there are any suitable shops, we'll buy some.

"Now that you've given me an idea, I won't have to worry about the number then."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Madam, you are so generous!"

"My mother will definitely become the richest person in Da Zhou in the future!" An An jumped out, raised his little chin, and looked very excited.

Zhou Yu bent down and picked her up. "Yes, yes, An An is right! Daddy's meager salary is not enough to support the family. From now on, you will have to rely on your mother to support us!"

An An chuckled.

Qin Ying said helplessly: "Nonsense again!"

"What nonsense?" Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows. "Madam, you may not know that all the officials in the court know that my husband is a gigolo."

Qin Ying was greatly surprised. "How could such a false rumor be spread?"

"Why isn't it true? It's very true," Zhou Yu said cheerfully while teasing An An, "The news first spread from me."

Qin Ying frowned, very confused.

Zhou Yu said, "It's no exaggeration to say that our Great Zhou is now in tatters. Even if the Crown Prince wanted to make a big move, he would be powerless. Money is needed everywhere.

"Grandfather said that he invited him to the palace to complain the other day.

“But my grandfather said that our family has nothing left except that ancestral home. It can be said that the Cheng’en Marquis Mansion is just an empty shell.

"The servants and maids in the house now all stayed here voluntarily, and they haven't received any monthly wages for two years.

"In order to make a living, the garden at home was flattened and converted into a vegetable garden.

"After you came here, Grandpa asked Huzi to help build a few mushroom greenhouses at home. The mushroom yield is good, and we can sell more than we can eat at home every day.

"These are all verifiable."

He lifted up his outer robe again and said: "This official robe was awarded by the higher-ups, and the clothes I wear inside are the clothes I brought from Tongshutun.

"Everyone knows how miserable I am out there. If I hadn't gotten close to the Yue family, I'd still be eating coarse food."

Qin Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "There's no need to make yourself sound so miserable, right?"

Zhou Yu snorted, "Why not? In order to support him to the throne, my Zhou family sweated and bled, and I don't know how many family members' lives were sacrificed! Not to mention the family wealth.

“He knew that my family had nothing, yet he dragged my grandfather over to complain. What was he trying to do?

"Are you trying to squeeze the Zhou family dry? Who's indulging you in this bad habit?

"My grandfather used to love him because he was the only bloodline left by my aunt. But what he did, isn't it chilling enough?

"So when he complained, Grandfather praised you and your sister for your abilities, saying that since you have come to the Marquis' Mansion, you won't have to rob Peter to pay Paul."

Qin Ying felt uncomfortable and asked quietly, "Can such a person... become a wise ruler?"

Zhou Yu sighed. "No one is perfect. From his perspective, there's nothing he can do. But his policies for governing the country are good, and the officials he selected and appointed are also good."

“We cannot completely eliminate people with connections, but there are always more capable people.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If a man is too strict, there will be no followers."

An An dozed off while listening. She was only concerned about one thing: "Will the prince come to borrow money from mother?"

"No," Zhou Yu laughed, "He can't afford to lose face. I'm already ashamed of being raised by your mother."

Qin Ying also laughed, but she had already made up her mind to be more cautious in the future.

After sending An An to bed, Zhou Yu reminded Qin Ying again: "You should hurry up with the seedling cultivation here. It's best to compare the new and old seeds."

"Don't worry," Qin Ying said confidently. "I'm already familiar with these things and have experience. I have detailed records of every growth period."

Zhou Yu's eyes showed admiration, and he discussed with her: "After the new seeds are successfully cultivated, I plan to ask the Crown Prince for permission to promote the new crop. What do you think?"

Qin Ying nodded without thinking: "That's great. We are doing what we like to do, and seeing that the people of the world can have enough to eat because of our efforts is also a merit."

Zhou Yu felt relieved, but also a little guilty: "Marrying me has caused you so much suffering."

"What are you talking about!" Qin Ying said angrily, "Do we really need to be so distant between you and me?"

Zhou Yu shook her hand and said, "It's fine elsewhere, but in the capital, you will definitely be wronged because of my identity..."

"Is it the first day I know your identity?" Qin Ying asked, "Since you've been prepared, there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Besides, we won't be staying in the capital for long. Even if we were, if I treat others as nothing, no one would be able to hurt me."

After saying that, he added in a low voice: "Besides, don't we still have An An?"

Zhou Yu laughed along at first, then added: "We can't rely on An An for everything, she..."

"I know," Qin Ying said hurriedly, "That's why I put pressure on her. I think twice before doing anything. She is my daughter first."

Zhou Yu put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "It's a gift from God that you can be mother and daughter."

Qin Ying agreed deeply: "Without An An, I wouldn't be where I am today."
