Nongmen's elder sister-in-law is the richest in the world

Chapter 106

Hearing that Shen Jianwan and Shen Zhan were going to get married, Shen's mother and the others were shocked at first, but after reacting with ecstasy, they agreed again and again.

When Shen Zhan talked about their marriage, Shen Jianwan nervously waited for everyone's reaction, for fear that Shen's mother and the others would have different ideas because they had rejected this marriage before.

Fortunately, everyone was just surprised at how they suddenly changed their minds about getting married, but they were all happy to see it come true, and Shen Jianwan finally let go of his worries.

The marriage between her and brother Shen Zhan is finally a certainty.

Next, Shen Zhan said that he planned to renovate the house and get married again, and everyone didn't have any opinions.

Preliminary discussion, because considering that it will take time to repair the house and prepare things for marriage, and Shen Zhan will return to the border in about a month.

Therefore, they tentatively decided to get married in half a month, and the specific date still needs to be determined.

After breakfast, Village Chief Yang brought people over early in the morning to help measure the wasteland.

In the end, the exact number of acres of wasteland was 390 acres, and Village Chief Yang gave them only 390 acres of silver.

No, an acre of one and a half taels of silver comes down to a total of 580 taels of silver in this wasteland.

Last night, Shen Jianwan had already talked about the two back mountains with her family, and everyone agreed that she should be the master.

Even Shen's mother said that Shen Jianwan would be the head of the family in the future.

During this period of time, Shen Jianwan's ability has already convinced the big guys, and everyone agrees.

So this family, Shen Jianwan, temporarily became a pawn.

No, Shen Jianwan decided to buy these two back hills first, and if he came back short of money, the two small hills would not be reclaimed for the time being, but it is still safe to buy this land.

So, after measuring the wasteland, Shen Jianwan and the others invited Village Chief Yang and the others to measure the two back mountains.

After a lot of work, the two small hills were bigger than Shen Jianwan's budget, with a total area of ​​more than 400 mu.

One of them is smaller at 800 mu, and the larger one is more than [-] mu at the back of the mountain.

One mu of mountain land, one tael of silver, plus the wasteland, so it came to 980 five taels of silver, not including the cost of going to the town government office and the hard work of village chief Yang.

And Shen Jianwan only had more than 300 taels of silver in his hands. If he bought all these lands, he would only have about 390 taels left, plus the five taels of gold rewarded by the pretty boy in the Lucky Restaurant, it would be more than 440 taels.

In this way, the money in their hands will be tighter, but in the end Shen Jianwan gritted his teeth and decided to buy it.

After all, the money can be earned again, but the land is afraid that someone will buy it first. Although it may not be a big deal, it will be difficult to find a small hill so close to home and so desirable.

With these more than 400 taels of silver, I believe she can still open up the wasteland first, and then find a way to earn money in the meantime.

No, after measuring the land, Village Chief Yang is also a straightforward person. He said that he just happened to be free today and went to the town to help them with the formalities. I guess they can take the papers he opened to pay the money at the town yamen in the evening. Get back the title deed.

After sending Village Chief Yang away, Shen Zhan somehow convinced the king that one man and one beast went hunting on the mountain, saying that he wanted to find some good prey and send them to the county town together with the pheasant and hare that were still alive in the morning so that they could sell them at a good price. .

Of course, the meat sauce ordered by Wanweilou was also sent along the way.

Shen Jianwan knew that Shen Zhan was a man of success. He must have seen that they didn't have much money left after buying the land. He wanted money to get married, renovate the house, and open up wasteland, so he was anxious to make a fortune.

Knowing that the things he had decided were not easy to change, Shen Jianwan only hesitated a little and told them to be careful before Shen Jianwan sent them away.

With Shen Zhan's skill and the presence of the King, Shen Jianwan was relatively assured of their safety, but he still couldn't help being a little worried.

Shen Jianwan and the others' measurement of the wasteland alarmed half the village, and Uncle Shen's family, who were reclaiming the wasteland, was the first to see Village Chief Yang come to measure the land.

No, they worked harder to open up wasteland.

Except for Ma Laidi who stayed at home to wash clothes, everyone else including Daya and Erya were there to help Shen Jianwan and the others open up wasteland.

As for Shen Jianwan and the others, apart from Shen Zhan going up the mountain, Shen Dong continued to go to the village to sell threshers, Shen Jianwan, Shen Min and Shitou also went to the wasteland to open up wasteland together.

It was not until Shen Jianwan in the wasteland that he found out that Second Uncle Shen really pressured Shen Jiesheng to open almost half an acre of land last night before letting him go home.

And today, he let Uncle Shen stare at him for half the morning and drove out to two points.

Shen Jianwan didn't expect this cousin to look foolish and unmotivated, and he didn't expect to work slowly, so he couldn't help being a little surprised for a while.

At this moment, seeing Shen Jie working hard to move gravel into the basket, he couldn't help but praise, "Cousin Jie, you've done a good job, I think you can cultivate an acre of land this morning.

Look how long it took you to earn a hundred coins. "

Shen Jie was very tired, and now he didn't want to see Shen Jianwan, he didn't feel happy at all when he heard the words, he just rolled his eyelids, then angrily turned to the other side to continue picking up his stones and didn't reply.

Shen Jianwan rubbed his nose in embarrassment, but he didn't care, it's okay to be angry, just work, "Cousin Jie, come on!"

Shen Jie pretended to be working hard, unable to hear Shen Jianwan's words, and couldn't help taking a peek at her, seeing that she was hoeing with Shen Min and Shi Shi not far away, he couldn't help but a flash of light flashed in his eyes. guilty conscience.

Uncle Shen and the others insisted that apart from Shen Jie’s work to repay the debts, they don’t need money for their work. Shen Jianwan was good at talking, but in the end the other party only agreed to wait for her to invite other people to open up wasteland and give them a hundred cents per acre. It is not counted as silver.

Seeing that the other party is sincere, if you persist in it, it will hurt your feelings. Shen Jianwan thought that in a few days, they would start hiring people after the busy farming season was over. .

But Second Uncle Shen and the others did not accept wages, Shen Jianwan agreed that they would have dinner at their house for the next few days, Second Uncle Shen and the others did not refuse again.

After working for more than half an hour, it was time to make braised sausages and go to the private school. Shen Jianwan and Shen Min took the stones, and the younger ones went home first.

Don't look at Da Ya, Er Ya and the others are only seven and five years old, and they are no worse than stones when they help out. With three little helpers, Shen Jianwan and the others quickly make their braised fat intestines.

When it was over, Shen Min took the stone to deliver the braised fat intestines to the private school, Shen Jianwan took Da Ya, Er Ya and the others continued to cook lunch.

This morning, Shen Zhan slaughtered all the dead five pheasants that the king hunted back, and the king couldn't eat beggar chicken or roast chicken when he went up the mountain with him, so for lunch, Shen Jian was not stingy and cooked the remaining three pheasants , I also cooked pure rice with white flowers.

So, when Second Aunt Shen and the others came back from the field and saw that Shen Jianwan and the others had made pure white rice and so much chicken for the Chinese New Year, they couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, and kept saying that they were too particular.

Shen Jie was even more embarrassed. When Shen Jianwan put a big pheasant leg in his bowl, his eyes were wet.

Shen Jianwan also pretended not to notice the other party's strangeness, and continued to greet everyone for dinner.

It has been a long time since the people of the two rooms sat down to eat together, and this lunch was so lively.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Jie had already forgotten the awkward things, and thinking of the hundreds of acres of wasteland, he couldn't help but ask the question he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Ah Wan, what are you going to plant in that wasteland?"
