"If you agree, you will need to contact the county government, and send people to work in the fields. There will be a lot of things to do." Wei Ruo reminded her.
"Of course. I’m committed to this! I, Xie Ying, will make it successful! Wait, I will talk to my mother! If my mother doesn't give permission, I will write a letter to my grandfather!" Xie Ying confidently replied.
Xie Ying was serious.
“In addition, I have one condition. You need to help me keep our cooperation confidential. You cannot tell outsiders or anyone in my family.” Wei Ruo said.
"Why? I won’t tell outsiders, but why can't you tell your own family members?" Xie Ying was puzzled.
“What if my younger sister also wants to participate after my family knows about it?" Wei Ruo asked.
"No, I don't like her. She's too troublesome, she seems to fall if the wind blows, and always has a very weak gaze in her eyes. When I ignored her before, she was aggrieved as if I had beaten her up." Xie Ying decisively refused.
"And If other people know, my family will give me an order. I won't be able to refuse." Wei Ruo continued to explain.
"Then It's better to keep it a secret. Confidentiality is good, there’s a sense of mystery. When I tell my mother later, I will ask her to keep it a secret for us!" Xie Ying said.
“Okay, you need to get your family's consent first, and then we'll discuss how to proceed." Wei Ruo said.
Collaborating with Xie Ying was quite beneficial for Wei Ruo. Firstly, Xie Ying has a good personality that suits her liking; Secondly, Xie Ying has a background and ability that meets the requirements for becoming her partner; Thirdly and the most important point is that she can avoid the Wei family.
Back then, she had to contact the government through the Wei family, because an official background was required to develop the wasteland.
Now she could cultivate a piece of land through Xie Ying and bypass the Wei family to increase her income.
Xie Ying was usually lazy. But once she encountered something she wanted to do, she didn't like to procrastinate. During her lunch break, she went to Mrs. Xie to talk about this.
Mrs. Xie believed that this is a good thing. The achievements made by the eldest young lady of the Wei family were evident to everyone, and it was beneficial for her daughter to be able to do meaningful things.
And It was not a big deal for the Xie family. She didn't even need to spend the Xie family’s money. She could just use her own dowry for her daughter.
Seeing that Mrs. Xie agreed, Xie Ying was very happy.
"Thank you, Mother!" Xie Ying hugged Mrs. Xie and kissed her on the cheek.
“You little skin monkey*. Since you want to do it, you must learn to work hard like Miss Wei, and make some achievements. You are not allowed to stop halfway and give up." Mrs. Xie warned.
"Mother, don't worry. When have I ever run away from a battle? I despise retreating from the battlefield the most!"
"You still dare to say this? Last year in the capital, I took you on a flower boat tour, but when it was time to go, you lied that your stomach hurt and refused to go." Mrs Xie exposed her.
"That...... that's different......"
“Okay, okay, this time Mother chooses to believe you. Also, your brother will come to Xingshan County in a few days. You can ask him to help you with anything you need." Mrs. Xie said with a smile.
"Of course. I’m committed to this! I, Xie Ying, will make it successful! Wait, I will talk to my mother! If my mother doesn't give permission, I will write a letter to my grandfather!" Xie Ying confidently replied.

Mrs. Xie didn't care about money, she just wanted her daughter to have good habits.*Little skin monkey: A playful term for a thin person and has a very witty personality.
