Buying land, something Hua Xiaomai had never considered before she arrived at Fire Knife Village, had never even occurred to her from childhood. Yet, after living for more than half a year in this small village, she gradually understood the significance of farming to the villagers, having one's own land often meant security for life.
Since she was destined to live here, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, right?
"Buy land?" Hua Ermu raised her beautiful eyebrows in confusion, "Why this strange idea all of a sudden? Don't we already have a vegetable patch behind the house? Isn't it enough as long as we have enough vegetables? Your brother-in-law runs a blacksmith shop and works there from dawn to dusk; you need to be busy running the stall and cooking. You have no spare time. All the household chores fall on my shoulders. I'm so busy I hardly touch the ground. Who would take care of it if we bought land? Do you think farming is easy? It takes a lot of effort!"
