Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 65

Trust
If Duan Yixin really has a lot of money, then it will be easier for Sun Dagou to handle the work since he doesn’t need to worry about money for the construction.

Sun Dagou was silent for a moment before saying, “Usually, workers’ daily salary is ten copper coins without a meal. Since you agree to provide one meal, we will pay the workers six copper coins per day. What do you think of this arrangement, Xin Niang?”

“Let’s just do what Uncle said. Uncle Sun, I will leave some money for you, and you can use this money to pay the workers. If you run out of money, you can come to me, and I will give you more.” Duan Yixin said after pondering for a moment.

Hearing what she said, Sun Dagou looked at her thoughtfully. He didn’t know why she trusted him and his family so much, but he was grateful for her trust. It will be very difficult to work for someone who doesn’t trust him.

After Duan Yixin and Sun Dagou discussed the details, she took out her money pouch. Duan Yixin took out a silver ingot from the money pouch and placed it on the table, “Uncle Sun, here are ten taels of silver. You can use this money to buy materials and hire workers.”

The moment she took out the silver ingot, the three people in the Sun family gasped at the same time. After living for fifty-eight years, Sun Dagou saw silver ingots for the first time in his life. Usually, villagers like them only use copper coins or broken silver pieces in their daily lives. They had only heard about the whole piece of silver ingot but had never seen it before.

Seeing their surprised faces, Duan Yixin thought for a moment and said, “My grandfather left me some money before he passed away.”

Seeing that the three of them believed her excuse, Duan Yixin took out a string of copper coins and put them on the table.

She looked at Xue Mei and said, “Sister-in-law, you can use this money to buy cooking ingredients. As for the workers’ wages, they will be paid with the money I left to Uncle Sun.”

Xue Mei nodded and took the money with trembling hands. Looking at the string of one thousand copper coins, Xue Mei suddenly felt that she had a heavy responsibility. Since Duan Yixin trusts her family so much, she must not let her down.

She held the money tightly and said seriously, “Xin Niang, you can leave this matter to me. I will definitely write down the expenses and let you know what I bought with the money.”

Looking at her sincere eyes, Duan Yixin smiled, stood up, and said, “I still have to go see Master Chi, so I will take my leave first.”

Hearing this, Sun Dagou nodded and said to his daughter-in-law, “Daughter-in-law, please send Xin Niang off.”

“Yes, Father.”

Xue Mei nodded and sent Duan Yixin off. When she came back, she saw her father-in-law and husband busy discussing the costs of materials and labor. She smiled and went to the bedroom to make a list of the ingredients needed for the workers’ meals.

After leaving the Sun family’s house, Duan Yixin went to the Chi family’s house. When she arrived, she saw Chi Xiyou busy cleaning the prey he had hunted.

Looking at the clean pheasant on the wooden bucket, she remembered that there was a pheasant inside the warehouse that Chi Xiyou had given her before. When she has free time, she should take it out and make chicken soup with medicinal herbs to nourish her body.

When she was thinking about the ingredients needed for the medicinal chicken soup, Chi Xiyou saw her and asked in surprise, “Xin Xin? Why are you here today? Are you looking for Ru’er?”

After coming back from her thoughts, Duan Yixin smiled at him and said, “Good afternoon, Young Master Chi. I’m looking for Master Chi today. Is he at home?”

Chi Xiyou nodded and said, “Yes. My father is inside. You can just go in to find him.”

After Duan Yixin watched the video of the original owner’s childhood memories, she knew that her family had a very close relationship with the Chi family. Since they treat her like family, Duan Yixin will also try to treat them like family.

She opened the low gate and walked into the yard. When she walked past Chi Xiyou, she said, “Then I will go find him first.”

Chi Xiyou nodded as an answer and continued to clean up the remaining pheasants. When she walked into the house, Duan Yixin saw Chi Junheng sitting in the living room reading a book.

Seeing her coming, he smiled, put down the book, and said with a hint of surprise in his voice, “Xin Xin, you are here. Come and take a seat.”

After she sat down, Chi Junheng poured her a cup of water and asked, “What brought you here today?”

Duan Yixin took the water and replied, “I just bought a piece of farmland, but I don’t have enough time and energy to cultivate it myself. I wonder if Uncle Chi can help me solve this problem.”

Chi Junheng was very happy when he heard her call him uncle. He smiled and said, “It’s a simple matter. How much land do you want to cultivate?”

“I bought twenty acres of farmland today, but they need to be cleaned up before we can start plowing and planting. I don’t know how many people we need to hire to clear the land.” She said with a helpless expression.

Chi Junheng was not surprised to hear that she bought twenty acres of farmland at once.

He had already guessed that Grandpa Duan should have secretly given Duan Yixin money in the past. Otherwise, she would not have been able to support Tang Zizheng’s studies for more than six years.

Unfortunately, Chi Junheng’s guess was only half correct.
