Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan bid farewell to their parents and left. Shortly after they left, Xiao Jinfeng and Mu Shuyu quietly left too.

These two brothers went out of the city one after the other. With so much debt, Xiao Jingting did not waste any time to inspect his farmland as soon as he got there. Mu Shuyu was envious of Xiao Jingting that he had some farmland while they were in Mound Village. She also could not wait to go to see their farmland with Xiao Jinfeng as they had some now.

There were some spiritual plants on the farmland given by Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu, which belonged to Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jingfeng now.

Xiao Jingting took a look at his farmland, finding that its quality was good and its geographical location was not bad. He believed that the monster beasts were not likely to haunt here as much as in Mound Village.

After inspection of his own farmland, Xiao Jingting went to see Xiao Jinfeng’s. The quality of a few pieces of superior and medium farmland of Xiao Jinfeng looked also good. The spiritual plants on the superior farmland had just been harvested, and the plants on the medium farmland had begun to grow, but the inferior farmland was not good.

“How come it’s sand land?” Mu Shuyu frowned as she looked at the farmland in front of her. There were little pieces of spiritual plants, which looked shriveled.

It was notoriously difficult to grow spiritual plants on the sand land. The spiritual plants would often die on the sand land. Much sand land was left idle. You would often lose money if you planted some spirit plants on the sand land.

Xiao Jinfeng felt unhappy and depressed. Without saying a word, Xiao Jinfeng was uncomfortable because as a son of their parents, he had been given the least of the land. Besides, he found 15 mu of inferior farmland was sand land, so Xiao Jinfeng felt more uncomfortable.

Mu Shuyu looked at Xiao Jinfeng and patted him on the shoulder, “Take it easy, it’s better than nothing.”

Xiao Jinfeng nodded, and said, “You’re right.”

“Second Brother, exchange this 15 mu of land with me,” said Xiao Jingting who was looking at the sand land in front of him.

Xiao Jinfeng was dumbfounded. He asked surprisingly, “Exchange with you?”

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes, exchange it with me.”

“Jingting, I know you are doing this for our own good, but your Second Brother and I cannot take advantage of you,” said Mu Shuyu.

“Shuyu, you misunderstand me, I want this sand land because it is useful. It is the best for growing watermelons,” said Xiao Jingting.

There were some watermelon seedlings in Xiao Jingting’s jade space, which were brought over from his previous life. After knowing that there were also watermelons in this world, Xiao Jingting pretended that his watermelon seedlings had been found in the mountain forest. He had planted some in Mound Village. The watermelons tasted sweet and became well received.

The first batch of watermelons had been eaten by themselves, because there were not many of them. Xiao Jingting had planned to expand the planting areas, and sell some if he had more watermelons. But, before Xiao Jingting began to expand the planting areas, the person sent by Father Xiao and Mother Xiao came over to take them home.

Mu Shuyu paused for a moment and said, “Does the book say the sand land is the best for watermelons?”

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! Watermelons are something good, and I really want to plant much more of them. This sand land just comes right in time.”

“Brother, you’ve helped me so much, and I give this ten mu of sand land to you,” said Xiao Jinfeng after he thought for a while.

Xiao Jingting said with a helpless smile, “Second Brother, how can I take advantage of you if you don’t want to take advantage of me? I can’t take care of so much farmland by myself.”

Xiao Jinfeng smiled and said, “Ok, I’ll exchange the fifteen mu of sand land for only ten mu of your farmland.”

Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Jinfeng’s face, nodded and said, “Sure.”

Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng went to see the farmland given by their parents to Xiao Qingyan. Unsurprisingly, the farmland given by their parents to Xiao Qingyan was indeed the best among three brothers.

…………………

After inspecting the farmland, they returned to their temporary residences by the field.

There were several good temporary residences by the field owned by Father Xiao and Mother Xiao, one for each of the three brothers.

“Our parents are really unreasonable. The farmland given to Second Brother is sand land, but fortunately, I just need sand land,” said Xiao Jingting.

“Before they gave us the land deeds, they were likely to have discussed with our eldest brother and sister-in-law,” said Xu Muan in a gentle voice.

Xiao Jingting felt a headache, “If so, it’s reasonable.”

“By the way, is sand land really suitable for watermelons?” asked Xu Muan.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! Sand land has good air permeability and poor water capacity, so that the watermelons will have vigorous root metabolism and high sugar content…”

Although Xu Muan did not understand what Xiao Jingting said, he nodded his head admiringly as Xiao Jingting made it clear and logical.

“I also want to plant some fruits. It is going to be hot soon, so I want to make some cold spiritual fruit smoothie, which will be very popular,” said Xiao Jingting.

Xu Muan thought about it and said, “Try to use the local spiritual fruits. You may arouse suspicion if you use too many other spiritual fruits.”

Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “I think so.”

…………………

Xiao Jingting hired some people to harvest the spiritual plants left by Father Xiao and Mother Xiao on the farmland. He had 12,000 taels of silver, which was a lot of money.

After harvesting the plants, Xiao Jingting did not waste any time to hire several other people to seed.

“Here you are. How’s the store?” asked Xiao Jingting to Xu Muan.

Xiao Jingting was going to open a fruit drink store, so he sent Xu Muan to choose a store in the city. In fact, Xiao Jingting had long planned to open a shop, however, Xiao Jingting had been too worried about the trouble he might get in to start it before he had a protector.

“I have found several ones suitable. But let’s forget it first. Someone broke into our house and Xiaofan also said that his toys had been touched,” said Xu Muan.

Xiao Jingting paused for a while and said, “We had a thief!”
