Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 69

The village chief said: "One mu of land costs five taels of silver."

"Five taels!" The old man Mo was so angry that his beard curled up: "Why is it so expensive? When I was in my hometown, I went to the yamen to apply for a house deed. Why is the land in Dafeng Village so expensive?"

Five taels of silver per mu of land is equivalent to the income of a farmer for half a year. This is money grabbing.

Mr. Lu, who has been silent for a long time, said something neither light nor heavy: "If it is too expensive, you can move back to your hometown."

This was very rude, and Mr. Mo's face turned blue from choking.

Mo Kuizi hurriedly teased Mr. Mo, signaling him not to offend anyone.

The three grandpas knew that Dafeng Village wanted to give them a slap in the face, so they didn't speak with a sullen face.

Seeing that the faces of their families were not very good, the village chief said: "This is the result of the discussion in the village. If you think it is too expensive, or you don't have the money, you can rent the old house in the village, and the village will give you something cheaper. ."

When Old Man Lu heard this, he frowned and said again, "You can buy land at normal prices. If each household gives the village three taels of silver, we will recognize you as villagers."

The third grandpa frowned, it was clear that he wanted to bite them.

Qin Laodao said, "This is not a trivial matter. We have to go back and discuss it."

Village Chief He also felt that this was not very authentic, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Mr. Lu said: "Don't discuss for too long, today is the 25th year, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few days. We don't have time to deal with your family's affairs all the time."

"Don't worry, I'll give the village an answer at most in an hour." Qin was always stubborn. After saying this in a cold tone, he left with a few men.

The two of the Mo family also left.

When the men from the family came back to tell the story, Aunt Tian burst into tears: "Why is our life so hard? It's hard to settle down, why is this money and that money? We still have money in our family?"

The Tian family was the poorest among them. When the village decided to flee the famine, the Tian family sold half of the land to make up enough 23 taels of silver.I spent a lot of money along the way, and now there are only two taels and three hundred taels left, and I can't afford three taels of silver at all.

Mrs. Chen was unwilling to pay the money, and scolded: "The people of Dafeng Village are not good, they want us to give three taels of silver, why are they bandits? I won't give this money, whoever of you likes to give it to. "

Gu Dagui said angrily, "Keep your voice down. If someone listens to you, do you still want to live in this village?"

The third grandpa was so worried that his hair turned even grayer, and he asked Mr. Qin, "Brother Qin, what do you say?"

"This is a loss, but we must eat it." Qin Laodao said, "We are foreigners, so we must take a step back first. Give this money to let the people in Dafeng Village know that we want to stay and live a good life. Yes. After giving this money, if the village dares to bully us in the future, then we don't have to bear it any longer, we just call them back, or go to the yamen to sue them."

They can't just do it with the villagers as soon as they come. It's not good. They have to suffer a loss first and make the villagers feel comfortable. If there is another problem in the future, if there is a bottom line for today's affairs, they will be able to take care of it even if it hits the yamen. .

Old Qin looked at Uncle Tian and said, "We still have some spare money in our family. We can lend some to your family. Don't worry about paying it back."

Uncle Tian's eyes were red: "Thank you for being old." If they can borrow money, their family can tide over this difficulty.

The third grandpa's family has little money, only enough to settle down for himself. Seeing that Mr. Qin is willing to lend money to the Tian family, he is relieved and said to everyone: "Brother Qin is right, we have to take a step back, if you have nothing to do Opinions, the three taels of silver will be given."

Several men nodded in agreement.

Chen exclaimed, "Why don't you buy land? You also need to buy land to build a house."

Gu Dagui said: "You stupid mother-in-law, you need five taels of silver per mu to buy land. We want to live here for a long time. We won't just buy this acre of land. Naturally, we will give each household three taels of silver, and we will buy the land at the normal price in the future. Good deal."

Chen shi thought about it, and it was indeed the case, so he stopped talking.But she can't pay, their family is not divided, and Gu Dafu has to pay.

After several families negotiated, each family took out three taels of silver to Elder Qin, and Elder Qin and the third grandpa took the silver to the village head He's house to pay the money.

I don't know what Qin Lao said. When he came back with the third grandfather, he had a piece of paper in his hand that wrote that he would be on an equal footing with the villagers in the future, and there were also the handprints of the village chief and several village elders.

With this piece of paper, several families were completely relieved.

After paying the money, the village officially recognized them. He Dacang came to let a few family members look at the house, rented it out if there was a suitable one, and built the house after the spring.

The third grandfather and Mr. Qin took a few men and followed He Dacang around half the village. Finally, at the end of the village, near Dafeng Mountain, they rented five muddy yards full of weeds for [-] yuan a month.

"There are some good houses in the village, and they are not expensive. You don't have to rent here." He Dacang put his hands into the sleeves of his padded jacket and stamped his feet to ward off the cold.

However, several men thought it was very good here, and declined He Dacang's kindness.

Although there are good houses in the village, they are scattered all over the village. When they first came to the village, several families had to live together in a group, and they could not be scattered. Only these old houses were connected together, and they had to rent here.

Several men gave He Dacang three months' rent, took the keys to five mud yards, and hurried back to move.

Several women were already packing their things when they went to see the house. As soon as they came back, they carried their things to the end of the village.

When the Mo family saw that they were gone, they hurried out to see.

Old Man Mo and Mo Kuizi caught up with them panting: "How many of you have paid Dafeng Village three taels of silver? Why are you so confused!"

A few of them gave it, and if the Mo family didn't give it, wouldn't they be kicked out of the village?

Mr. Qin said to Mr. Mo, "It's up to us to give it. Whether you give it to the Mo family can be discussed by yourself. Let's go first and move in a hurry." After that, he ignored Mr. Mo and walked quickly.

Several families soon arrived at the five mud yards at the end of the village.

These five mud yards are very large, almost all of them have three main rooms plus two wing rooms, so only two families with few people live in one courtyard.

Gu Jinli's family lived with the third grandpa's family, and they chose the penultimate yard.

The left side of her house, that is, the last mud yard is the Qin family. The Qin family's grandparents and grandchildren live in it, and they do not partner with other families.

On the right are the Luo family and the Tian family. The Luo Tian family goes up to the Gu Damu brothers' family, and then goes to the Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui brothers' family.

After moving the yard, several families immediately started to clean the house, thoroughly cleaned the moldy and damp house, and shoveled away a lot of weeds in the yard to clear a path.

Gu Jinli took out the mugwort and distributed it to several families, letting them smoke the house with mugwort.

After the house was smoked once, most of the musty smell in the house was removed, and then the straw mats and old quilts were covered, which made it look like home.
