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

Chapter 337 Shy
After returning home, Su Xiaoxiao began to think about this matter. Indeed, there are quite a few pitiful people in this world.

Like this father and son, they were farmers their whole lives, and apart from being ruthlessly exploited, they really couldn't do anything.

Su Xiaoxiao could only feel sympathy for their fate and help them as much as she could.

However, after finishing the work in her fields, it seemed there was no other work to be assigned to these two poor people. What would they do then? She thought about it a lot after returning home.

Although she seems obsessed with becoming a rich woman and appears to love money more than anything, Su Xiaoxiao isn't entirely like that.

She made a decision: why not divide up her family's land and rent it out to people who don't own land?
Actually, this is a good way to help more people, and she doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

In this way, Su Xiaoxiao could legitimately experience the identity of a landlady in ancient times.

Qian Musheng was quite happy for Su Xiaoxiao when he learned of her decision.

"That's right. You need to focus on your career now, and you can't keep being limited by farming all the time, can you? After all, you're not a farmer, are you?"

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be very curious as she looked at Qian Musheng and said, "What? You mean you look down on farmers? Even if I don't know how to farm, I still come from a farming background."

Qian Musheng quickly waved his hand at Su Xiaoxiao, "No, I didn't mean that. I didn't say I looked down on you for being a farmer or anything. I just think you deserve a broader stage."

Qian Musheng looked rather cute as he tried to defend himself, and Su Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.

"Ha ha……"

"In our area, explaining is seen as covering up; you're implying that you look down on farmers!"

When Qian Musheng heard this, he was about to defend himself when he saw Su Xiaoxiao make a face at him and then run away.

He carefully considered Su Xiaoxiao's words, and it seemed that his words just now did indeed carry a certain meaning, which caused Su Xiaoxiao to misunderstand.

Qian Musheng was also an impatient person, and he thought to himself that he had to explain this clearly so that Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't think there was anything wrong with his character.

He dashed towards Su Xiaoxiao, but in his haste, he didn't notice his footing and stepped on a dangling ribbon from the hem of her skirt.

The dress Su Xiaoxiao was wearing today wasn't tied tightly to begin with, and when Qian Musheng stepped on it, the dress immediately fell down.

"what……"

A scream.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly lowered her head to cover her body, and when her skirt was pulled open, her bra was exposed.

However, it's because people in ancient times wore more layers of clothing. Su Xiaoxiao is afraid of the heat, and she was actually dressed very lightly today. Especially in summer, there are no electric fans or air conditioners. Although the house is indeed very cool, it doesn't help when it's hottest.

People can't stay indoors all the time; they have to go out eventually. Actually, Su Xiaoxiao carrying an umbrella in this weather is already quite unusual. Come to think of it, women in this era really don't have much of a sense of self-protection.

It's very likely that there wasn't much pollution of the atmosphere back then, and solar radiation wasn't very strong.

Su Xiaoxiao also felt that her skin was not as uncomfortable from the sun exposure, but to be honest, she didn't really feel much heat here.

Large patches of Su Xiaoxiao's snow-white skin were exposed to Qian Musheng's eyes.

At this moment, Qian Musheng's face immediately turned bright red. He felt like a boiled shrimp. He quickly apologized to Su Xiaoxiao.

He looked away, and Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care. She put her dress back on and calmly said to Qian Musheng, "No, why are you so shy? You screamed first. Besides, it wasn't intentional, why such a big reaction?" Qian Musheng was still confused. "Why didn't you scream?"

After getting dressed, Su Xiaoxiao stood in front of Qian Musheng, looked him in the eyes, and calmly said, "Why would I scream?"

Qian Musheng stared blankly at Su Xiaoxiao, who turned around and went about her business as if nothing had happened.

Qian Musheng felt like she was the one making a fuss, but the thought of what had just happened made her heart race...

Su Xiaoxiao went to find the old man and his son and told him about her decision. The old man was probably a little worried, afraid that he didn't have enough money to rent Su Xiaoxiao's land.

The main reason was that he had been exploited so badly before, and he was afraid that things would turn out the same way again.

"Don't worry, that won't happen again."

Su Xiaoxiao explained the land rental method to them, which greatly surprised the old man.

Su Xiaoxiao had previously learned that half of the people in this old man's hometown did not own land and had to rent land from others to survive.

Su Xiaoxiao thought it would be better to invite some of the old man's fellow villagers over. They didn't have any land, so she could rent out her more than 100 acres of land to them.

This can help a lot of people, and the rental method is unbelievable.

Is this a land lease? It looks more like a gift.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Indeed, you might feel that I don't intend to make money, but that's okay. I'm doing this with the intention of helping others."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Su! You have such a kind heart. I wish you great fortune!"

As they spoke, the old man and his ten-year-old son knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Won't you lose money by doing this?"

"It's alright, like I said, I'm not really in it for the money. By the way, I can allocate some land to you first. How much fertile land do you want to rent, old man?"

Pei Yuan helped Su Xiaoxiao buy these 100-plus acres of land; they were all the best farmland in the village.

To be honest, she never expected that Pei Yuan would buy more than 100 acres of land for her. She was shocked when the village head handed her the land deed.

I felt a warm feeling in my heart at that moment.

The old man said, "I'd like to rent ten acres of land first, is that alright with you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao realized that it was indeed a bit too much.

Upon seeing Su Xiaoxiao's expression, the old man immediately realized that he might have been a bit greedy. As a farmer who made his living from the land, the fact that he could rent land at such a low price naturally made him lose control and say a little too much.

Besides, their family isn't as large as before. After fleeing the famine, only he and his son are left. His son is still young and can't help him much.

"Then let's have five acres!"
