Old Du had a good relationship with Xia Xia, so he knew a bit more about the situation and said, "After Zhou Yin and his wife left for a year without any news, he felt something was off. So, taking advantage of managing for him, he converted it into his own shop rental and had his son leave the original landlord to start independently. He even leased the farmland to the patriarch of their Xia Family..."
County Magistrate Zhai thought about it briefly and understood, raising an eyebrow and laughing, "Xia Dajiang is quite clever. This way, even if the land is divided, it shouldn't be too fragmented."
"Yes, I've heard that those three plots of land are now all in one block under Patriarch Xia's name. One plot has been divided in half, with one half dedicated as sacrificial land, and the other half distributed among each family. It seems that the remaining plot was bought by Officer Xu."
