The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

Jiang Qingyi walks very fast and her five senses are very sensitive.

In addition to a piece of land, there is also a pond in the village with a layer of ice on the surface of the water. The houses where the tenants live are adobe houses with thick thatched roofs. The only brick house should be the residence of Manager Zhou's family.

But this farm belongs to her, and everything in it belongs to her.

The soil here is pretty good, so it should be easy to grow crops.

It was winter and there was nothing to see, so Jiang Qingyi just strolled around for a while and went back.

At this time, all the tenants gathered at Manager Zhou's house. They stood together awkwardly, thinking that there was some bad news.

Seeing Manager Zhou coming back, the tenants gathered around him.

"Manager Zhou, what are you calling us for?"

"Do you want to sign a contract for next year?"

"Is it possible that the new owner is unwilling to rent the land to us?"

After these words were spoken, no one said anything.

Manager Zhou stood in front and said loudly, "Let me introduce you. This is Miss Jiang. She is the new owner of our manor. These are her family members. I called you here to sign this year's contract. The rent is the same as before."

Manager Zhou's words swept away everyone's worries, and the tenants began to speak well of Jiang Qingyi, saying that she was kind-hearted.

Jiang Qingyi was busy going back, and Manager Zhou quickly took out the prepared deeds, two copies for each family. Since the tenants were illiterate, they used fingerprints instead.

Jiang Qingyi checked each contract and signed her name on it.

When she was about to leave, Jiang Qingyi suddenly thought of the role that Manager Zhou played here, so she asked directly, "Manager Zhou, how much is your monthly salary here?"

Manager Zhou was just hesitating whether to bring it up, but unexpectedly Miss Jiang asked, so he quickly answered, "My monthly salary is calculated on an annual basis, five taels of silver per year, and one dan (100 jin) of grain per month."

"Then the calculation will remain the same this year. If there are any changes, I will notify you in advance."

"Yes, thank you Miss Jiang. I will do my best to manage the manor for you."

……

On the way back, Jiang Qingyi smiled and said, "Master, now that we have land, we don't have to worry about not being able to make a living, right?"

Old Man Jiang was also happy, "That's right, the rent paid by the tenants every year is enough for our family to eat, and there is even some left over."

The matter that he had been worrying about for a long time was finally resolved, and Old Man Jiang felt like a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

Jiang Dashan and his friends were also very happy, but Jiang Dahe still wanted to continue doing business because it could make money faster.

The carriage was moving very fast and arrived in the city in no time.

After entering the city, Jiang Qingyi saw red lanterns hanging outside and more people setting up stalls on the street.

She suddenly asked, "Master, what time is it today? How many days are left until the New Year?"

Old man Jiang clapped his hands on his thighs as if he had just remembered, "Today is the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the Little New Year."

"Then we have to go back and prepare."

Several people started talking about the New Year again.

The carriage dropped them off at their doorstep. Jiang Qingyi thanked them, paid the other half of the money and let them go.

It wasn't dark yet, but it would be soon.

Old Man Jiang excitedly went to tell Old Lady Jiang about the situation on the farm. After hearing what happened, Old Lady Jiang was also very excited and kept praising their little boy for his ability.

During dinner, the system's voice sounded in my mind, [Dear host, a new task is here! ]

Jiang Qingyi paused while eating. [What task?]

[Host, please break through the foundation-building stage. If you complete the task, you will be rewarded with a set of Chaos Techniques. If you fail the task, there will be no penalty. Do you accept it? ]

【Just one mission? 】

[For now, this is the only one. This is also relatively easy to complete. ]

[Then take it. Anyway, I don’t know when I can upgrade. ]

At night, Jiang Qingyi practiced in the cross-legged sitting position.

Perhaps it was the previous accumulation that caused a qualitative change in the spiritual energy in her body.

Originally the spiritual energy in the meridians was only as thin as a hair, but now it has become as thick as chopsticks.

Jiang Qingyi, who was practicing, also felt the changes in her body, as if some barrier was about to break.

Remembering what Venerable Tianshu said about the thunder tribulation during the foundation-building period, Jiang Qingyi suddenly came out of her cultivation state. To endure the thunder tribulation, she needed to find a place far away from the crowd, otherwise the surrounding area might be destroyed.

Jiang Qingyi tried hard to control the surging spiritual energy in her body that night.

After finally waiting until dawn, she anxiously went to find Old Lady Jiang, "Grandma, I have something urgent to do!"

"Today is the Little New Year. What are you doing outside? Are you going to buy anything?"

"No, the master is calling, it may take several days."

"Old immortal, are you looking for me? Then why don't you ask your father to go with you?"

"No, I'm leaving now. Please tell my parents that I'll be back in a while."

After she finished speaking, she rushed out the door like the wind without waiting for Old Lady Jiang to reply.

"Ah..." Old Lady Jiang sighed as she watched Jiang Qingyi leave. "This child is so impetuous. I even said I would prepare some food for her, but that was all..."

The Jiang family only found out that Jiang Qingyi had gone out alone when they were having breakfast.

When Old Lady Jiang spoke of this, Jiang Dahai looked at Zhao with a worried look.

Zhao paused for a moment and continued eating without any further reaction.

As his wife's partner, how could Jiang Dahai not know that his wife was angry? It was no wonder that his wife was angry when her daughter went out without telling her parents first.

After dinner, Zhao took Xiaojie back to her room and sulked for a while. It was only when Old Lady Jiang called her that she came out.

Old Lady Jiang knew that Zhao was upset, so she gave her earnest advice.

"Old Third Wife, Xiaowu is not an ordinary person. You can't ask her to do the same thing as you would an ordinary person. Even though Xiaowu is young, she has big ideas in her mind. As long as she doesn't do anything bad, try to go along with her. She's right."

Zhao had a bitter look on her face. "Mother, I know, but I'm just upset. Yiyi was born after I carried her for ten months, so how could I not feel sorry for her? But now she's not close to me anymore. You've seen it before. She treats me no differently from my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law. I..."

Old Mrs. Jiang said with a fierce look on her face, "Nonsense, Xiaowu and you are biological mothers, after all, you are closer than the eldest son's wife and the others, don't say these things in front of Xiaowu, lest she be alienated from you."

Zhao opened her mouth but didn't finish her words.

Old Mrs. Jiang was disappointed. "It is our family that has dragged her down. Otherwise, with Xiaowu's ability, she could have lived whatever life she wanted..."

Zhao said anxiously, "Mother, this is what Yiyi should do."

"Old Third Wife, you can't say that. No one owes anyone anything. Young Fifth is taking care of the family, but that's no reason for us to enjoy ourselves with a clear conscience."

Zhao didn't expect her mother-in-law to have such thoughts. They were completely different from hers. "Mom, Yiyi is my child. I gave her a life. She should repay me..."
