Chapter 187: Gu Chen can be considered a big help!

What she said seemed to come from the hearts of many people.

Sun Xiaofei nodded in agreement, saying, 'Yes, our family's land is similar to Cai Feng's. My parents died young, and I'm an only child. Now that I can't walk, I can't farm the land at all. If it weren't for Gu Chen, the land would just be left to grow wild.'

'My parents are still alive, and I have children and grandchildren, but I can't do it all by myself. I have eight mu of land, and I'm not a hard worker. I can't finish planting the whole day if I don't set foot on the land!'

At this point, everyone began to say something to thank Gu Chen.

Looking at the sincere faces, Gu Chen felt a little embarrassed. He was just collecting land and planting it himself for mutual benefit, and he really wasn't a great benefactor.

Gu Chen waved his hand and said, 'Don't say that. To be honest, I should be thanking you. Without you, I wouldn't have so much land, would I? Come, let's continue signing the contracts.'

It was already past 3pm when the villagers had all left.

Auntie Zhang and Tian Laosi and his family stayed behind to help Gu Chen and Ji Pianran clean up. After all, there were a lot of people, and they had used a lot of dishes. It would take a day for one person to clean up.

Tian Laosi and Gu Chen washed the dishes while chatting.

'By the way, Chenzi, you said you've taken over so much land, what are you going to plant?'

Gu Chen has collected a lot of land, at least more than 100 mu. He always seems to be up to something big.

As a farmer for generations, Tian Laosi is really curious about what Gu Chen wants to grow after paying such a high price for the land.

Hearing this, Gu Chen casually said, 'I want to grow medicinal herbs.'

He did have this idea, and recently matsutake mushrooms and cordyceps had made him understand a truth.

That is, selling vegetables really doesn't make as much money as selling medicine.

If you can get rich selling vegetables in three years, you can probably get rich selling medicine in three months.

But growing medicinal herbs, he had no experience with that.

He would have to spend some time figuring it out. In short, money is not easy to make!

Tian Laosi nodded when he heard that Gu Chen wanted to grow medicinal herbs. He was right, Gu Chen was really going to do something big.

However, he was a little worried.

'These medicinal herbs are definitely difficult to grow, unlike crops.'

This is true. Generally, if you grow vegetables and grains, as long as you water them on time, there is basically no problem. But this is different with medicinal herbs.

Some medicinal herbs, although they are medicinal, actually attract insects. If you are not careful, they will be bitten by insects.

They are also very delicate, and if you don't pay attention, they may die.

It's a lot of trouble.

Gu Chen of course understood all this, but in fact, his initial thoughts were that as for what he would actually grow, to be honest, it would depend on what the system could provide.

But when it came to it, the dog system hadn't appeared for a long time.

It was really annoying.

Thinking about this, he shook his head.

'Fourth Brother, there's something else you can help me with. After dinner tonight, I want to go with you to the field ridge to check the situation.' Gu Chen put the washed dishes on the rack and turned to Tian Laosi.

After all, he rented it at his own expense, so he needs to check the situation.

Tian Laosi didn't have anything to do anyway, so he nodded.

'Sure, I'm good at that!'

After all, he was troubling Tian Laosi, and Gu Chen was also a bit embarrassed. Since everything they were eating had been swept away, if they were to give Tian Laosi something in return, the only thing they could think of was cherries.

He casually said, 'By the way, Laosi, I still have some cherries there. Take them home for the kids.'

Hearing this, Tian Laosi hurriedly waved his hands: 'No way, that stuff is so expensive. You just served so much for everyone, save some for Tangtang to eat!'

Although the cherries were really delicious, he couldn't just take people's things, and they were all expensive.

Tian Laosi was self-conscious.

'Look at you, you don't treat me like one of your own!' Gu Chen pretended to be angry.

Tian Laosi was not afraid of him at all, and he pouted.

'I think it's you who doesn't consider me your own person. You keep bringing me all these things every day, and they're not cheap. What's the point?'

Although he said this, he actually understood in his heart that Gu Chen was being kind to him.

However, one cannot always take advantage of others.

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow, 'Wow, this is the first time Brother Laosi has spoken to me like this.'

In the past, Tian Laosi was always polite, as if he could only say yes to everything.

Recently, his attitude towards her has become more and more casual, and it is actually more comfortable to get along with him this way. It's like family, where you can say whatever you want.

Gu Chen also likes Tian Laosi more now.

Tang Tang had just been playing with her friends for a while, and she hadn't even finished walking before the little guy was already too sleepy to open his eyes.

Ji Pianran carried her into the house and waited until she was sound asleep before tiptoeing out again.

Tian Laosi had almost finished washing the dishes and saw that there was nothing else to do, so he turned and walked back.

Now that there was no one around, Ji Pianran took Gu Chen into the living room and then went back to the house, where he took a wooden box from his room and placed it on the small wooden table.

He sat down next to Gu Chen and looked at him intently.

He whispered, 'This is the money you gave me a while ago. I haven't used it yet, but now that we've rented so much land, we're sure to need money somewhere. You take it all.'

He had just given away the thick stacks of money in his hands, and didn't feel like there was much left.

If they were to start farming, they would need to find people and buy some farming tools, seeds, and so on. All of this would cost money.

Ji Pianran doesn't farm, but she knows how to farm.

Gu Chen looked at her serious face and suddenly felt warm in his heart.

Other people's daughters-in-law hide their money tightly and never give it away, but Ji Pianran is so good, she offered to pay before he even asked, as if she was afraid that he wouldn't have enough.

He smiled and said, 'I don't need it for the time being, so you can keep it.'

To be honest, Gu Chen didn't have much money left either. There were still a few thousand yuan left, which would definitely not be enough if he really started farming. But he wasn't panicking.

He still had the cordyceps that he hadn't sold yet, and there were also cherries, which could also be sold for money.

If he sells these before planting the land, then there won't be any financial problems. After all, it wasn't a big deal in the first place.

If you have to plant the land, the most expensive thing is probably the labor cost.

He has already thought of this.

Ji Pianran is still a little uneasy.

'Just take it. My embroidery is already finished. I was thinking of calling that woman tomorrow to make an appointment and let her take a look.'

Her embroidery can be sold, although it is not much, but it is definitely enough to cover the household expenses for a month. She doesn't want to put any pressure on Gu Chen.

After all, he is the one who earns the money, and it should be kept by Gu Chen himself. Besides, she can't help much, and this may be the only little help she can do.

She wants him to let go and do a good job, without any pressure or worries.
