Chapter 265: 265 land deed for He family Chapter 265: 265 land deed for He family “Mom, I’m going outside to take a look,” Ye Jiu said, trotting out.

He Shi was still complaining from behind, “You child, why are you running so quickly? Be careful not to fall.”

By then, Ye Jiu had already run out to the courtyard.

Ye Wenqing had just tethered the donkey cart when he turned around to see Ye Jiu already standing behind him.

Ye Wenqing immediately called out, “Xiaojiu.”

“Is the land deed processed?” Ye Jiu asked.

“It is,” Ye Wenqing took out the land deed from his bosom and handed it to Ye Jiu.

Before Ye Jiu had the chance to open it, Ye Wenyu took out two packets of pastries from the basket on his back and passed them over, “Xiaojiu, these were bought with the money you gave us. Let Grandpa and Grandma have a taste.”

“Do you guys have some for yourselves?” Ye Jiu asked.

“We do, we bought several packets, and we still have quite a bit of money left,” answered Ye Wenyu.

“Then you keep them for yourselves. I’ll go give these to Grandma,” Ye Jiu said as she went back inside.

In the house, Ye Jiu opened the pastries and directly placed them on the kang table, addressing He Shi and Ye Qingzhi, “Try these, Wenqing and Wenyu bought them. See if they taste good?”

No need to say, in a home where having enough to eat was a recent luxury, being able to enjoy such cakes was already fortunate; there was no thought spared for whether they tasted good or not!

Ye Qingzhi picked up a piece and nibbled on it small bite by small bite, not willing to finish it all at once.

He Shi, on the other hand, was not so impatient. Instead, she watched Ye Jiu, “Xiaojiu just ran out so hurriedly, surely it wasn’t just for these two packets of pastries, right?”

“Of course not.” Ye Jiu said with a smile, playing coy, before she placed the land deed in front of He Shi and asked, “Mom, do you know what this is?”

“What? You’re making it seem so mysterious,” He Shi took it, opened it, and indifferently placed it on the tabletop in front of her, “Isn’t this the land deed Dad told Wenqing to process with the Clan Leader? You’re making it seem so secretive, I thought it was something else.”

“Yes, it is a land deed, but the name written on this land deed is Mom’s. Don’t you feel excited at all?” Ye Jiu deliberately said, then followed with a sigh, “Ah, if I had known Mom wouldn’t like it, I wouldn’t have gone through the trouble.”

“What, you’re saying my name is on this?” He Shi, unable to believe it, took the land deed back and looked it over from left to right. Unfortunately, she couldn’t read and didn’t understand it.

“Yes, it’s Mom’s name. This is a gift I went out of my way to get for Mom. I wonder if Mom likes it?” Ye Jiu said with a smile.

“Like it? I absolutely love it.” He Shi’s face broke into a wide grin, her old hands holding the land deed were shaking, and the smile on her face was even more evident, “My good child is the most sensible, always thinking of Mom!”

A land deed, oh, that’s different from silver. It’s what many women dream of having.

Apart from those young ladies from wealthy families who might receive some land as part of their dowry, ordinary peasant women like them might not own a single mu of land in their lifetimes.

And now, she, He Shi, had one–unique in the whole Wangshan Village, even the Clan Leader’s wife did not have this privilege.

Seeing He Shi’s joyous smile, Ye Jiu felt that all the trouble she went to was worthwhile.

“Now that the land deed is processed, the next thing is building the house. What are your plans, Mom?” Ye Jiu asked.

“You girl, still playing guessing games with Mom. All our family’s money now comes from what you earn. Just say what you want, Mom isn’t short of money, you can plan as big a house as you wish,” He Shi said magnanimously.
