Chapter 71: Chapter 71: It May Be Late, But Never Missing Shen Qingping immediately stood up upon hearing this and said, "I want to go too." Shen Qinglan thought for a moment and eventually nodded. When the three of them arrived at the grain drying yard, two quarters of an hour had already passed. No wonder Shen Qingping said it would take a long time, this place is indeed quite far. When they arrived, Shen Qingju and Shen Qinghe were sweeping the ground, while Shen Qingzhu and Shen Qingfeng were unloading the rice from the cart. Shen Shan and Shen Tang were off to the side, drinking water. There were many families busy nearby, and as soon as they reached the drying yard, Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an ran off to show off the food to their little friends. Shen Qinglan stepped forward, and without a word, picked up a bundle of rice and tossed it onto the pile. "Qinglan, you’re back?" Seeing her, everyone in the Shen Family at the scene was very happy. Families nearby also turned to look, and an old woman chuckled and asked, "Is this the girl from your family who earns ten silver a month? Oh my, she’s really remarkable! Shen Shan, you’ll be a great gentleman someday!" Shen Shan chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "What great gentleman, as long as the kids have enough to eat and drink, that’s enough. Being a great gentleman is still far away." "You shouldn’t talk like that," the old woman retorted. "From Yanjiang Village, there’s someone who used to earn seven silver a month, later ten silver a month, and after five years, they moved the whole family, young and old, into the town to enjoy life." The old woman wiped her sweat with her sleeve and continued, "Your family’s third girl is earning ten silver a month in her first month, maybe it’ll be fifteen or twenty silver a month in the future. In two or three years, it might be enough to buy a house in town." Before Shen Shan could speak, Shen Qingfeng had already laughed and said, "Our third cousin is blessed by the heavens and is a lucky person. Second Uncle enjoying life is just a matter of time." Shen Qinglan looked at him and said, "In the future, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Aunt, Third Uncle Qing’an, Big Cousin and his wife, Second Cousin and his sister, and young Tao will all move to live in town." Anyway, money is not short for her now, and what she has in hand is enough to buy two sets of houses. Perhaps in her heart, the few people in her family weigh more, but she equally cares about the others. What’s in her family should not be less for the others! It may be delayed, but it won’t be lacking! She’s thought about it, when she moves, everyone moves together. Upon hearing this, everyone in the Shen Family smiled. Shen Tang put down his drinking bowl and jokingly said, "Well, Uncle will be waiting for our Qinglan to succeed, and then move with everyone to live in town." Whether it can be realized is another matter, but having such intentions in children is enough. Shen Qingju laughed and cursed, "You’d better first save up your dowry before speaking, you think you can buy a house in town with just ten or twenty silver?" Shen Qinglan said, "I’ll first save up dowry for my two sisters, then save for mine." Of course, deep down she never thought about getting married. After saying this, Shen Qinglan remembered Shen Qinghe’s matter, quickly looking over and saw her smile and say, "That’s a deal then, our dowry in the future is on Qinglan!" Seeing her smile so happily, it didn’t seem fake, she probably had already moved on! Shen Qinglan nodded, "Hmm, whenever you both get married, I’ll prepare grand gifts for you." Her serious demeanor amused everyone present. Shen Qingju raised an eyebrow, joking, "What? If sis gets married, you’re going to give a hundred silver as a dowry?" "What’s difficult about it?" Shen Qinglan asked. Not just a hundred silver, if she has it, even a thousand she would give.
