Chương 249: Chapter 249 Good Eye_1

Zhulan put down her needle and went out, Lady Dong holding a box in her hands. Zhulan gestured for Lady Dong to sit down, "What brings you to me?"

Lady Dong placed the box on the table and opened it, taking out a land deed from inside, "Mother, this is the land my father gave as part of my dowry in Li Family Village, fifty acres in total. I heard my husband say that our family has divided the land for the villagers of Li Family Village to help cultivate for grain. I would like to ask Mother to help me find out if there is anyone still willing to help till the land?"

Zhulan glanced at the land, which was registered under Lady Dong's name. Lady Dong had to pay taxes on these lands herself, and taxes on fifty acres was not a trivial amount; she and Zhou Shuren dared to do this because Zhou Shuren was confident about passing the imperial examination.
