The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 98
"Since you have already made up your mind, I will stop persuading you." Liu Donglin pondered for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, the entire back hillside looks like a dip in the ground. When I go back and find out the title deed and the map of the terrain area know the exact numbers."

"By the way, Brother Donglin, I don't know about the small depression that is connected to the dense forest on the back hillside, but it's in our Geshan Village?" Seeing Liu Donglin let go, Su Chengzhi hurriedly asked about the most important thing.

Liu Donglin nodded: "You mean the small mountain depression with less than three acres of land? That mountain depression also belongs to our Geshan Village, bounded by the cliffs there, and beyond that is the dense forest. That side is not the boundary of our Geshan Village, it belongs to the government. All. By the way, I forgot to tell you that no matter who buys the valley on the back hillside, it will be owned by whomever, this is clearly stated on the title deed and the topographic area map."

Su Chengzhi and Su Yunduo looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

The title deed and topographic area map of the hillside and col are kept in Liu Donglin's home. It is a big deal that needs to be agreed by the village elders before it can be finalized. However, Liu Donglin has no objection, and Geshan Village needs expenses for running a school. This is a win-win situation. There will never be any more problems.

Sure enough, at Shenzheng time that afternoon, Liu Donglin brought good news to the Su family. The village elders unanimously agreed to sell the back hillside to the Su family. Calculated, one tael of silver per mu, plus the fees required for the transfer procedures, a total of one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

In other words, as long as the Su family took out one hundred and eight taels of silver, they could go to the county government office to go through the formalities at any time.

In order to show his determination, Su Yunduo discussed with Su Chengzhi and decided to pay 50 taels as a deposit for buying the land, and agreed to pay the balance within ten days, and then Ning Zhongping and Liu Donglin would go to the county government to handle the relevant transfer formalities.

Now everything is ready and only the money is missing, but Ning Zhongping, who promised to deliver the money in five days, has missed the appointment, and has not seen him until the sixth day, which makes Su Yunduo very worried, and a little glad that he specially relaxed It's the day of payment, and it's also very crazy.

Worried about Ning Zhongping's safety, fortunately there are still four days to turn things around, and what is frustrating is that the old house has started to be haunted again.

Speaking of the monsters in the old house, we have to start two days ago. I don’t know who leaked the word, let the old house know that the Su family spent more than 100 taels of silver to buy the mountain land, which caused a huge wave in the old house .

Obviously, two months ago, the whole family was desperately trying to get food and drink from the old house. Where did the 100 taels of silver come from?

"Mother, do you think Ning Shi hid another private house?" Yu Shi looked at Yang Shi's old face that was about to rain and asked secretly.

"What are you talking about! That's more than 100 taels of silver, not ten or eight taels. How much money do you have to embroider to save more than 100 taels in private? Besides, if others don't know, you can't know. The good embroideries are all handed over to our mother, and finally the sister-in-law will send them to the embroidery workshop in the town or county, when did the younger brothers and sisters touch the silver?" Su Erzhi scolded Yu Shi with a glare.

Although what Su Erzhi said was true, it aroused Yu Shi's displeasure. He curled his lips and waited to say more, but Xiao Yang said with a gloomy face: "Second uncle, what you said, how can people listen to it? It's not Ning Shi." Hiding private money, it seems like I hid private money?!"

Mrs. Yu was startled, thinking back to Su Erzhi's words, she really meant such a thing, and after thinking about it, Mrs. Yang had always sent the embroidery at home to the embroidery workshop, and Mrs. Yang had the final say on what price to sell. It's really a good job to hide a private house.

Thinking about it this way, the way Yu looked at Xiao Yang was a little bit wrong.

As soon as Xiao Yang said that, she knew that she had said the wrong thing. What she said was that there is no silver 300 taels here. Could it be that grandma left something for the third child?"

Following Xiao Yang's words, everyone's eyes turned to Su Fugui and Yang who were sitting in rows on the kang.

After a few days of recuperation, Su Fugui's body was in good shape, but his spirit was much weaker. He only gave Yang Shi a vicious look with his cloudy eyes.

If you spend all your time thinking about these messy and useless things, you don’t know how to focus on raising your children!
If he put all his attention on his children, why would Su Zefan make such a big mistake and waste the efforts of the whole family.

Thinking of this, Su Fugui's eyes became more fierce.

Yang's gaze was fixed on Su Fugui, obviously she had the same idea as Xiao Yang.

Yang's gaze made Su Fugui feel very unhappy, his brows were even tighter, and his face was cloudy and sunny.

Recalling what happened back then and the instructions of his parents before they passed away, Su Fugui gave Xiao Yang a hard look, and then glanced at the children and grandchildren who were all over the room, and then reprimanded in a deep voice: "I know Nonsense! Our family was not considered a wealthy family when we were in the Northland. It was a blessing to be able to escape with your brothers during the war. How much wealth can we bring out in the panic?
Back then, the Yang family was no worse than the Su family, but what happened in the end?Not all of them lost their lives except you!

If it wasn't for your grandparents who were willing to spread the money back then, how many lives do you think you would have escaped from bandits and robbers and escaped from thousands of miles to come here?When our family settled down in the end, we were able to buy land. The money was stuffed in the third child’s baby by your grandma at the risk of being killed. "

Speaking of this, thinking of Su Chengzhi's attitude that day, I always felt angry, and finally added: "Even if there is, the third child deserves it!"

If Su Fugui hadn't said the last sentence, even if the Yangs were unwilling, maybe the matter would have been over. However, Su Fugui added that one sentence, so he gave Yang and the others an excuse to make trouble.

This time, the Yang family and the others changed their strategy, instead of going directly to the door to make trouble, they intentionally or unintentionally said some plausible things to others, so there were several versions in the village about the origin of the Su family's land purchase money.

The first theory is: Ning has secretly saved a lot of private money by selling embroidery products privately these years.

Regarding this kind of rhetoric, some people quickly stood up and questioned: "Since Ning married into the Su family, except for returning to her mother's house to pay New Year's greetings during the year, she was almost confined by Yang to do embroidery work at home. All the embroidery work she did was small. Yang sold it to the embroidery workshop, so what channel do you think Ning used to sell the embroidery and save such a large sum of money?"

Immediately, someone retorted: "It's not easy to keep a private house? Can't the Ning family sell embroidery work through other channels?"

Some people echoed: "That's right, Ning's embroidery is so good, you only need to secretly hide an embroidery screen in a year, and selling it for ten taels is not a problem, and saving a hundred taels in the past ten years is not easy. ?”

Some agreed, while others objected: "With the shrewdness of Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Ning's ability to hide the embroidery and find a way to sell it? No wonder!"
