The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 107 Buying Land

Because the 50 taels of gold and silver had been paid in advance a few days ago, Su Yunduo and Su Chengzhi discussed it properly, then took out a 50 taels of silver bill from Ning Zhongping's purse, and planned to take another ten taels of silver ingot Give it to Liu Donglin together.

But Su Yunduo always felt that this was not appropriate. Who knew if there would be any other fees when going to the county government to handle the land deed transfer?

Su Yunduo thought for a while and calmly put the 50 tael bank note into his arms, then handed the purse to Liu Donglin: "Village Uncle, please worry about the transfer of the land deed, here is 78 Two silver coins, tomorrow I have to trouble the village elder and my uncle to go to the county government office to transfer the land deed to a household."

Liu Donglin didn't hurry to pick up the purse in Su Yunduo's hand, and silently calculated the cost of the land deed transfer in his heart, and then he smiled and reached out to take the purse in Su Yunduo's hand: "One mu of land on a hillside and one tael of silver, if If I remember correctly, the back hillside is connected to the mountain depression, which is 98 acres of three-point land..."

"The village head has a really good memory. It's exactly 98 acres of land!" At this moment, the title deed and area map happened to be in the hands of Qi Shugong's youngest grandson, Liu Yuli's uncle Liu Donghai. Yang raised the title deed and area map in his hand and shouted loudly, which immediately attracted good-natured laughter from the surrounding villagers.

Geshan Village has fewer good fields but more hillside land. This is the first time in decades that someone is willing to pay such a large sum of money for hillside land.

Everyone knew that the village school was going to be set up in the village. Although it had been agreed long ago that the village school would borrow the Liu family's ancestral hall, since it was a school, it would inevitably require desks and chairs, not to mention Shu Xiu, books and ink.

Although the village will subsidize some, but Geshan Village is poor, how much can the village subsidize?

Therefore, there are many people in the village who want to send their children to read and write, but not many who are really able to send their children to school.

The sale of the hillside land will bring a lot of income to the village. Even if a part of the handling fee has to be paid to the county government, the Su family has made it clear that the handling fee will be borne by the Su family, so all the money from the land sale will belong to the villagers of Geshan. It is the folks in the entire Geshan Village who benefit.

People with village elders already know the news that the money will be used to run schools, assist the lonely elderly and extremely poor households in the village, and those in temporary difficulties. In short, it will be used by the people for the people.

"It doesn't need to be so much, your family has already given a deposit of 50 taels, and the land deed transfer only needs a handling fee of [-] taels..." Liu Donglin shook his head while doing the calculations, and did not accept the purse that Su Yunduo handed over.

Su Yunduo had no choice but to take out another 50 taels of silver bill from his purse and hand it to Liu Donglin: "These 50 taels are used to make up for the silver for buying the land." The eight liang of silver was poured into his hand and he continued: "The village elder needs to take care of things when he goes to the county government office. It's not easy for the village elder to pay back. I don't know if the remaining 28 taels are enough to pay the handling fee and the management fee. If it's not enough, I have to trouble my uncle to fill it up for me first."

Liu Donglin took a deep look at Su Yunduo, but didn't say anything more, only thought that this little girl might really have a delicate heart.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, after handing over the money, he immediately made an appointment with Liu Donglin the next morning, and Ning Zhongping drove the carriage with Liu Donglin to the Xiushui County Government Office to handle the transfer procedures on the back hillside.

Although Su Dazhi and the others didn't understand why Su Chengzhi didn't buy fertile land but instead bought hillside land, they didn't dare to make any more mistakes at this time, and only looked at Su Chengzhi and Su Yunduo angrily.

With this money, the village school can be run, and the children in the village can at least be exempted from the cost of buying books, pens and ink. Going to touch Su Chengzhi's bad luck, everyone naturally smiled, and rushed straight to Su Chengzhi free of money for compliments.

In the eyes of the villagers, Su Chengzhi is not only the Kaimeng teacher of their children, but also the financial supporter of the village.

The enthusiasm of the villagers made Su Chengzhi's face flushed, because Su Fugui's family's depression was temporarily put aside.

Back home, Su Yunduo originally wanted to talk to Ning Zhongping and learn about the situation in Hejian Mansion, but found that Su Chengzhi, who was still smiling just now, was gloomy and obviously not in a high mood.

I had no choice but to give Su Xuan a look, and asked him to take Su Chengzhi to give lectures to the few bookboys who were still studying in her own home, while she herself gave Ning a detailed description of the relevant situation at the village meeting today. heart of.

When Ning Zhongping was in Geshan Village, the village meeting had been held for some time. Although he stood behind and listened to the general idea, he didn't know the cause and effect of the matter. After hearing Su Yunduo's detailed account of the cause and effect, he couldn't help scolding "Shameless".

Ning has not been out for a long time, although she knew that there were some rumors against her family in the village these days, she did not expect it to be so serious. Now she heard Su Yunduo's explanation of the previous reasons, and her face turned pale with anger.

"Mother, don't be angry, if you get angry for good or bad, won't you make those people with malicious intentions happy?" Su Yunduo gently stroked Ning's back to comfort her.

"Yeah, sister, just listen to Dodo. How can we let those people succeed?!" Ning Zhongping was naturally angry and hated. He didn't expect that he would make such a fuss if he didn't go to Hejian Mansion. There are many things, but he already knows the final result. Although the anger is not so easy to dissipate, it is not as angry as Ning's.

After Su Yunduo told Ning everything clearly, Ning learned that his family and the old Su family had completely torn apart and parted ways, and he bought the entire back hillside as he wished. Weeping with joy on his face.

All these years, she, Su Chengzhi and the children had lived a very miserable life, and now the bitterness has finally come to an end.

"Mother, Mencius said, '...Heaven will send a great mission to human beings, and they must first suffer their wills, their muscles and bones, their bodies and skins, and their bodies and walks in vain..." Su Zexuan sent Su Chengzhi to a few scholars specially for him. After tidying up the study, he also hurried over to listen to the situation of today's village meeting. He just started reading "Mencius" a few days ago, no, he started to shake his head and drag the text.

It's just that Su Yunduo flicked his finger on the forehead before he finished pulling, grinning his teeth and dodging aside.

Although Su Zexuan played a note, Su Yunduo still gave Su Zexuan a thumbs up, and then continued to caress Ning Shi's back and whisper softly to appease Ning Shi's excited mood: "Mother, let them all pass away Well, from now on, our family will definitely be very happy."

"Duoduo is well said, she will be able to come here for sure! Sister, look, since you came out of the old Su's house, both Duo Duo and Brother Xuan have become more and more capable. Even Brother Chen is smart and lively. A lot." Ning Zhongping didn't like Ning Shi's frequent tears, but he still tried his best to appease Ning Shi.
