Moreover, there were many powerful people in Taizhou Prefecture, but there were few fertile lands. Sometimes even if one has money, they may not be able to buy fertile land.

Mrs. Yuan explained, ”I also know that these things are a bit vulgar, but I can’t think of any good ideas here for a while. Still, my husband reminded me that you taught people for farming in Xingshan County, so you must be quite knowledgeable in this area. Why don’t I give you some fertile land, so that I can leave it to you for your own use, and you can play a role in it.”

Last night, for the matter of today’s gift, Mrs. Yuan and Lord Yuan also discussed for a while.

The grace of saving lives was definitely not something that could be forgotten with just a thank you.

Even if Wei Ruo had left without any intention of asking for any reward at that time, they, who had received the favor, could not just pass the matter by.

But if they wanted to express their gratitude, they had to think of a suitable way and give a suitable gift.

Because Wei Ruo also didn’t want others to know about her medical skills, the Yuan family couldn’t openly send a pile of gold and silver utensils to the Wei family. They had to send some items that Wei Ruo could easily carry and keep privately.

So they thought of giving her land and real estate.

It must be said that the gift from Lord Yuan and Mrs. Yuan touched Wei Ruo’s heart.

Wei Ruo did not show too much politeness to Mrs. Yuan, but directly expressed her liking: “I really like this Madam’s gift.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yuan was also very pleased and said, “It’s best that you like it. I will have someone go to the government office to register you and put these fields under your name. Don’t worry, I will handle this matter quietly and not let anyone know.”

Mrs. Yuan knew that since Wei Ruo wanted to hide her medical skills from the Wei family, she certainly didn’t want the fields under her name to be known to other people in the Wei family.

“Thank you, Madam!” Wei Ruo was really grateful.

“What are you saying thank you for? This was meant to be used by my husband and me to thank you. Why are you thanking us?”

“I still want to thank you, Madam, for thinking about me and saving me from so much trouble.” Wei Ruo said.

Mrs. Yuan said gently, “This is what I should do. When you saved me that day, you were very considerate. When I was in pain and despair, your voice sounded like a heavenly sound, pulling me out of the gates of hell.”

Wei Ruo smiled.

Immediately after that, Mrs. Yuan pulled Wei Ruo into a casual conversation, “I’m not going to hide it from you. In fact, for this garden party, I specially invited the Wei family, who are far away in Xingshan County, because I wanted to meet you.”

“Is it because of the land reclamation in the south of Xingshan County?” Wei Ruo asked.

Mrs. Yuan nodded and said, “That’s right. I don’t know if you know, but this year not only Xingshan County has a poor harvest, but the entire Taizhou Prefecture has the same problem.”

The entire Taizhou Prefecture had a poor grain harvest, which was a big headache for Yuan Zhengqin who was the prefectural magistrate.

“Well, I’ve heard about some of it.” Wei Ruo had heard about it long ago.

“Before I knew that you were the benefactor who saved my life, I wanted to meet you and ask for your opinion on improving the grain production of Taizhou Prefecture, so I specially invited the Wei family to the garden party.” Mrs. Yuan explained the reason.

Because Wei Mingting was a military official and Yuan Zhengqin was a civil official, although his official rank was higher than Wei Mingting’s, he could not directly summon Wei Mingting. Therefore, Mrs. Yuan took the opportunity of the garden party to invite the Colonel’s Mansion.
