Silver was running low, and she took back all the money earned from her collaboration with Hu Lingyun. Hu Lingyun also gave her an additional two hundred taels of silver, leaving her with one hundred taels. She spent all the remaining silver to buy mountains and land, which made Plain Grandmother and Qin'er complain about her wastefulness.
The village head received a generous amount for his errands, and he was particularly proactive, finishing all the tasks in just two days. Qing Luan and Qin'er settled here, changing their surname to Zhu. The children were thrilled when they found out, and the villagers came to congratulate them. This left Qing Luan in a flurry as she organized several banquet tables to treat everyone.
"Sigh," Plain Grandmother grumbled while cleaning up the messy tableware. "There was hardly any silver to begin with, and now you're spending it like water. You'll regret it later!"
Holding the land deed she had received that day, Qing Luan couldn't help but chuckle at Plain Grandmother's complaints. "Plain Grandmother, you really are getting more nagging by the day. Even if we spend all the silver, we now have land and mountains. Treating the villagers to a meal changes how they see us—we're going to live here after all, aren't we?"
"As long as you decide that's fine, I suppose I'm just too much of a nag," Plain Grandmother muttered sulkily, left without a retort.
Qing Luan looked at Plain Grandmother's childish demeanor with exasperation, thinking to herself: I may have the appearance of a child but a mature heart. This Plain Grandmother has the appearance of an elder but a child's heart; she often needs coaxing, which can be quite trying. Thankfully, her affection for them is genuine; otherwise, she wouldn't tolerate it.
Originally, Plain Grandmother thought these children were too young. Although they could earn money, if they didn't hold onto some cash, they would surely cry when they needed it later. That's why she nagged so much—but what happened in a few days left Plain Grandmother speechless and genuinely impressed by this calm and clever young lady.
Thanks to Qing Luan's efforts, laughter filled the fishing village. Fishermen no longer worried about selling their catch, while women, girls, and elderly folks at home could earn wages from Qing Luan's work. Such good fortune felt like a gift from heaven to them, filling their hearts with joy.
The house Qing Luan bought was quite spacious. After purchasing the mountain behind it, she owned all the empty space in the backyard as well. She set up her workshop there so that everyone wouldn't be so cramped anymore.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hehe... can't catch me! Can't catch me!" Several children laughed and played around their busy parents. In an instant, those parents who were working diligently became annoyed and began scolding them amidst cries of protest—a lively scene unfolded before Qing Luan's eyes.
Half of the villagers were helping her out; wages had shifted from daily payments to monthly settlements. There were enough hands on deck, but when these kids gathered together, trouble was bound to follow. With no school in the village, they ran wild and played freely, which sometimes led to serious incidents—like when a child had drowned in the sea before—so she was now hesitant to let them wander off.
"Bang!" Just as Qing Luan was lost in thought about this dilemma, a loud noise snapped her back to reality. She froze at the sight before her: someone chasing after the children had accidentally knocked over freshly filleted fish that now lay scattered on the ground. The scene froze in time as everyone held their breath, fearing that Qing Luan would explode in anger.
