When asked, she said there was a large area.
Aunt Zuo took Chun Nuan to see it.
It was indeed just as she thought.
"Whose land is this mountain area?"
Chun Nuan wanted to buy it.
"I don't know whose it is; it should be ownerless," Aunt Zuo said. "If you want to buy it, I can help you ask the village head."
"Sure." Chun Nuan just needed to acquire an estate as part of a dowry.
Aunt Zuo took Chun Nuan to find the village head.
"This mountain is called Hu Family Mountain. It has never been bought, mainly because it's full of rocks and wild trees, unsuitable for farming," the village head, an honest old farmer, said. "Girl, if you want to buy it for farming, I'd advise against it. The crops here never change; after a season of hard work, you won't harvest more than a few grains. If you really want to buy, go for the estate over at Chaoyang Mountain; those lands yield well, being both sunny and fertile."
"The price over there is probably high too, right?"
