Chapter 625

....
625 One must always be on guard
Recently, Gu shouxin had been looking for a Manor for the children. He wanted to find one not far away, but how could there be such a coincidence that they were selling it at the same time?
Therefore, in July, there were finally a few estates for sale. They were not far away, so he went to take a look in the middle of the month.
When he returned, he called the four sisters together.
Huihui, sisi, last time you said that you’ve decided to buy a Manor. I’ve received news these two days that there are a few nearby manors. Take a look for yourself. Gu shouxin drew a picture, and the sisters could understand it.
second uncle, we’ve discussed it and decided to listen to you. If you think it’s fine, then it’s fine, because we’ve never bought it before. Gu Hui said after taking a look.
Gu si nodded in agreement.
“Alright then, my idea is for your three sisters” villages to be next to each other. Niannian, Xinxin, there are two estates in the middle that have just separated the three estates. Your mother and I are thinking that we will buy all five of the estates in this area. The two villages in the middle might cost a little more silver. Niannian, you pay for it yourself. We’ll buy the other one for Xinxin. As for the three villages next to it, Huihui, Xinxin, and sisi, you guys pay for it yourselves. How about it?” Gu shouxin said.
Previously, Gu Nian’s Manor had been bought with her family’s money. At that time, she had not saved up her own money.
Now, the sisters each paid for one, while Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian bought one for Gu Xin.
It was just right, being impartial to his two daughters.
“Alright! I don’t mind!” Gu Nian agreed without any hesitation.
“Alright, just these five. I’ll talk to the people in the broker. You sisters should discuss among yourselves what to plant in the manor. I’ve talked to the broker, and I’ll bring you there to take a look. You can choose which one you want. There are big and small villages among the five.” Gu shouxin said again.
“Oh!” The four sisters nodded in unison.
“Oh right, father. These villages aren’t far from the prefecture, right?” Gu Nian asked.
“It’s not far. It’s about the same distance as your current Manor from Zhou clan town. So, you guys should discuss what to plant in the manor.” Gu shouxin said.
After this matter was settled, Gu shouxin went to do his own things.
The four sisters gathered in the laboratory, holding the drawings given by Gu shouxin and began to discuss.
Gu Xin suggested that they set up their workshop. When they went to visit the manor, they could buy some skilled ladies and let the four ladies of the Meng family take care of them to produce washing and protection suits.
As for their newly developed perfume and face cream, they would personally bring a group of people to manage them.
Gu Xin was thinking that she couldn’t let the four ladies of the Meng family be in charge of everything. It would be too tiring for them. Besides, if they were targeted one day and threatened to hand over the production method, no one could be sure that they would not hand it over.
Gu Nian was really surprised that Gu Xin would have such thoughts. Although Gu Xin’s martial arts skills had been increasing, Gu Nian still thought that Gu Xin was a silly and cute girl.
In the end, this child had already understood the principle of being on guard against others.
Gu Xin’s suggestion was passed by everyone.
Gu Hui’s idea was to plant different things on the fields in the five villages.
The five villages were basically all around two hundred mu, so there was more that could be planted. It was best to separate grain, vegetables, and fruits.
On the other hand, Gu Nian’s Manor at the back of the mountain still planted flowers, but there was no need to plant flowers in these five manors.
