After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 247 Expanding the Planting Area
"Then thank you so much, Pavilion Chief Zhang, for your support."

"Remember this: if Qian Musheng wants to marry you, don't hesitate, get married quickly."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

Su Xiaoxiao hadn't expected that Zhang Tingzhang would be so supportive of her, changing his previous opinion of her. She felt quite honored.

Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Tingzhang stood together on the hillside, looking at the piece of land that Qian Musheng had bought for her. The mountain breeze was cool, but Su Xiaoxiao's heart was burning with passion.

The leaves on the mountain trees have begun to turn yellow, and the surrounding weather is gloomy. At this moment, Baihua Village is shrouded in a thin mist.

Su Xiaoxiao was very happy today. She wondered when Qian Musheng would return from the capital. She was determined to treat him to a meal when he came back.

As for why she invited him to dinner, that's all Su Xiaoxiao could do right now.

While there's no such thing as a first-come, first-served rule when it comes to feelings, the person who had already taken root in Su Xiaoxiao's heart was not Qian Musheng.

There's a reason why Liu Tingzhang came to curry favor with Su Xiaoxiao today and said so much in response to her.

Su Xiaoxiao has done a lot of practical things for the village's development, and she said that as long as she stays in the village, she will definitely make the villagers benefit.

After all, General Pei Yuan, Magistrate Huang, and the wealthy Qian Musheng family in the town all favored Su Xiaoxiao. This woman was no ordinary person; she had a large group of people supporting her.

If you offend her, you will definitely not have a good ending.

Su Xiaoxiao is also a social butterfly, so she quickly expressed her gratitude, saying, "I am especially grateful for Director Liu's kindness today. Before, I didn't really want to settle down in this village. I even thought that if I had the ability, I would move to the town. But now my thoughts are starting to change."

"Ha ha……"

"That's good. Actually, Baihua Village is truly a treasure trove. It's just that some people might not be so good; their character is simply not good, and there's nothing we can do about that."

Zhang Tingzhang chuckled and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "In our Baihua Village, if we're talking about bad people, it has to be Granny Liu. She's a disgrace to this village. Not only was her eldest son thrown in jail, but she also incurred high-interest loan debts. What kind of mess is this? Those loan sharks come to cause trouble every few days, ruining our village's reputation. And then there's her eldest daughter-in-law, Li Dongmei, who's always flirting with other women. She's a disgrace to women."

"If you really don't like them, I can have them all kicked out."

However, Su Xiaoxiao did not respond when she heard this.

You can't see into someone's heart, and you can't know what they're doing.

Who knows if Liu Tingzhang was testing her when he said that?

Su Xiaoxiao realized that this was indeed the case. Her dislike for this village was mostly caused by Granny Liu's family, and there was no doubt about it.

But now, Su Xiaoxiao has grown up, and she no longer takes Grandma Liu's family seriously.

"Director Liu, thank you for your kindness. But as we say, everyone encounters some troubles in this world. You have to accept the diversity of life. You never know what kind of disgusting people you might meet. Nothing in life goes exactly as you wish, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tingzhang laughed. This Su Xiaoxiao was indeed no ordinary person; she could see the logic of things so clearly.

"It seems that education is still very important for women. Mr. Su, you have studied in a private school, and even your way of speaking is different. I will also have my son study in the future."

"Director Liu, it's wonderful that you have such awareness!"

Su Xiaoxiao has always valued education highly, because only education can bring about different kinds of progress. Back home, Pei Yuan looked unhappy. "What's wrong? I heard Qian Musheng sent you something nice again? Like a land deed?"

"Hmm, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

"No? I'm in a great mood."

Pei Yuan also tried to appear calm as he spoke.

"Let's go see the stars."

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she pulled Pei Yuan along to look at the stars. The stars here were actually very bright, especially on nights like this. To be honest, even though Su Xiaoxiao had been busy all day, she was still amused by Pei Yuan's jealous little expression.

"Aren't you planning to go back to your general's mansion? You're a great general!"

Pei Yuan was leaning back on the stool, looking rather lazy.

"No, I'm not leaving. I'll stay by your side for the rest of my life."

At this moment, Pei Yuan was acting like a spoiled child, snuggling up to Su Xiaoxiao.

During the day, Su Xiaoxiao is always so busy that she doesn't even have time to eat lunch. Her two children attend classes at the private school, and they eat lunch with their teachers.

Pei Yuan had no one to cook for him, he was so lonely, and he had to fend for himself.

At this time, the rice seedlings in the field had already begun to be planted. After planting, Su Xiaoxiao began to think about some of the wasteland in the field. She thought she might as well buy it from the village chief and plant some useful crops.

For example, you can grow potatoes or other crops that don't require high-quality soil.

However, the village head seemed quite troubled by this matter. He said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Girl, why aren't you satisfied? Think about the land in our village, is there a single piece of land you haven't cultivated?"

Some time ago, Liu Tingzhang showed Su Xiaoxiao the land deeds she had bought, and the village head also knew about it.

Now Su Xiaoxiao wants some wasteland in the village, and she's worried that other villagers might complain, since the village doesn't just belong to Su Xiaoxiao alone.

"But I need a lot of land now. You see, I originally needed to grow flowers to make those skincare products, right? And my bee colony is gradually expanding, so it also needs a place where they can freely collect nectar, doesn't it?"

Seeing that the village head's attitude had softened, Su Xiaoxiao came over and shook his arm, insisting that he help her no matter what.

"Uncle Village Head, you must help me, otherwise my little bees will starve to death."

"You want these wastelands just to grow flowers? Not crops?"

The village head was utterly baffled by Su Xiaoxiao's actions. "I'm speechless about what you've done."

"Since the flowers are like this, I'll use all the flower fields to plant sunflowers this year. That way, I can grow flowers to satisfy my bees, produce sunflower seeds, sell them for money, and even press them for oil!"

"I will also make several other flavors of sunflower seeds, which I'm sure will sell for a good price."
