Chapter 182 Buying Land
Inside the hall.

Fat Miao'er took out another twelve and put it in.

At the same time, he said: "Isn't the ten taels of silver more than enough to hire someone to repair the paddy fields?"

"Hmm! Enough!"

Compass nodded. Labor is the least valuable in this year. There is no need for ten taels, and three or four taels are enough.

"Take another 20 taels to buy seeds and shrimp seedlings. In this way, we can still have at least 50 taels of money."

Fat Miao'er smiled slightly, she calculated everything according to the highest cost, conservatively estimated that the remaining silver was more than 50 taels.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door at home.

outside the courtyard.

A loud voice came in: "Fat Miao'er, Ye'er, are you at home?"

"at home."

Liu Ye'er stretched her neck in response, got up quickly and went out to open the door. After a closer look, it turned out to be Old Man Zhang and Father Hu.

"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Hu, come in and sit down."

Liu Ye'er politely invited the two into the main room.

After a winter, the three families burned charcoal together to make money, and their relationship became better and better, and they got closer and closer.

Especially the old Hu's family and the old Zhang's family, the female family members of the two families often move around, come and go, and visit.

"What's the matter with the two grandpas coming here today?"

Liu Ye'er made a pot of tea and poured it for the two of them.

The tea is brought back from the county by Li Xiaodao, the most common kind, the price is not expensive, a few pennies a tael, every time you entertain guests, squeeze a small amount and put it in for a taste.

"There is a field in the next door village that is eager to sell. It has a total of 140 mu, and it only costs [-] taels."

Old man Zhang exchanged glances with Father Hu, and continued, "We want to buy it together."

"I came here this time to ask you, do you want to be together?"

Land is the lifeblood these days, and there are very few people who sell it. The old Hu family and the old Zhang family only came across this one after many inquiries.

It's a pity that the [-] mu of land was not only sold, but had to be bought at one time, so they had to join forces.

But even so, he was still not rich in money, so he wanted to ask Fat Miaoer to see if they would like to buy land together.

Buy land?

140 two or thirty acres?
Fat Miao'er listened, put his chin in his fleshy little hands, and turned his head to make the final calculation.

Thirty mu of land, the total price is 140 taels, and the price per mu is about four taels and seven dollars, which is quite a bargain.

According to the market in Yulin, the selling price of the fields here fluctuates around five taels depending on various factors such as location and environment.

"The price of four taels and seven dollars is really not expensive, but I don't know how the quality is?"

Thinking of this, Fat Miaoer asked.

"The land is indeed a good land. We have already visited it. If his family hadn't been in a hurry to spend money, it would have been impossible to sell it so cheaply." Old man Zhang explained.

"Brother went to work in the county, and there are only four of us left in the family. It would be great if we can get busy with five acres of land. If we buy more, who will grow it?" Liu Ye'er worried.

"You can let Grandpa Su and Uncle Su plant it!"

Luo Pan interjected, the last time Su Dashan and Su Qingfeng came to visit Fat Miaoer, they helped them with a lot of work, and won the support of several people.

"I support!"

Wei Shu raised his hand in agreement.

"Land is the foundation of our livelihood. As long as we have land in our hands, even if the business is not good in the future, we will not go hungry."

"The purchased land and tenants are used for others to plant. It is better to plant for Grandpa Su, so that Grandpa Su can also gain a foothold in the village."

"Second brother is right! Let's buy, buy, buy!"

Fat Miao'er made the final decision, now that they have spare money, it's useless to put it there, they might as well spend it to buy land.

Hearing this, Old Man Zhang and Father Hu showed smiles on their faces.

It is one thing that money is not enough to be rich, and you can get it together by borrowing and borrowing. The main reason is that the two families have received such great benefits from Fat Miao'er, and they plan to take Fat Miao'er with them when they have good things, so that the relationship between the three families will be closer.

"How about ten acres for our three families?" Old man Zhang asked, looking at Fat Miao'er.

This was also discussed before the two came.

Thirty acres, ten acres for each family, divided equally.

"Okay, thank you Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Hu."

Fat Miaoer thanked the two of them.

"Thank you for what we are doing. If you were not willing to buy together, we would not be able to buy it!" Old man Zhang said with a smile.

"In that case, let's pay the money and sign the contract tomorrow morning." Father Hu made a decision.

"No."

Old man Zhang shook his head.

"If the thirty acres of land hadn't been sold together, it wouldn't be our turn. To avoid long nights and dreams, let's go now."

"Okay, let's go now."

Father Hu came to his senses and stood up quickly.

"Second brother, you can go with us."

Fat Miao'er looked at Wei Shu, because he had to write and sign the deed later, and Wei Shu's ability to read and write could help.

"Ok!"

Wei Shu nodded.

"I also need to go!"

Compass stood up with a whoosh, and shouted loudly, how can this kind of moment be missed, and go to see and see, and it will be more convenient to earn money and buy land in the future.

An hour later.

Fat Miao'er, Wei Shu, Luo Pan, Old Man Zhang, and Father Hu came to Guo's house in Nanshan Village.

The ancestors of the Guo family were Jinshi, served as officials in the court, bought a hundred acres of fertile land after returning home, and settled in Nanshan Village.

In this generation, there are unfilial sons in the family, who have contracted the bad habit of gambling and lost a lot of money in the family.

A few days ago, he was set up to gamble in Jucai Pavilion, lost all the money he brought, and owed 120 taels of foreign debt, and was held hostage in the gambling house.

Because it is the only seedling in the family, the Guo family has no choice but to sell the land to collect money to redeem the family.

"Is Brother Guo at home?"

Hu's father stood outside Guo's courtyard, shouting into the inside.

After a while, the courtyard door was opened, and an old man with a sad face appeared in front of everyone.

"Brother Hu, Brother Zhang, have you made up your mind?"

Old man Guo asked Father Hu and old man Zhang.

Father Hu and old man Zhang had already visited in the morning, and after seeing the land, they said they would go back and discuss it, so old man Guo knew them.

"I think it's well thought out. It's just that your [-] acres of land are sold together. Our two families really can't afford so much money, so we asked a few friends to buy it together."

Father Hu stepped back, revealing Fat Miao'er, Wei Shu, and Compass behind him.

Huh?
Why are there three little babies?
Old man Guo was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, it doesn't matter how old he is, as long as he buys land for silver.

"Come on, let's go into the house and talk."

Old man Guo moved away and invited a few people in.

The Guo family went to the room.

After everyone was seated, old man Zhang went straight to the topic.

"Brother Guo, 140 taels is still a bit expensive, do you think it can be cheaper?"

"140 taels is the lowest. You have also seen my land. It is all good fertile land. If I am not in a hurry to sell it, I can sell it for at least 150 taels." Old man Guo said.

"Brother Guo, if you sold one mu, of course you could sell it for 150 taels, but now you are selling thirty mu together. How can anyone in these ten miles and eight villages be able to come up with so much money at once?"

"We don't talk too much about it, so we can save two taels of silver, 130 eight taels, and let the three of us settle accounts easily. What do you think?" Old man Zhang discussed.
