Chapter 1485 The Actual Situation
The seven people in the village had a very happy dinner, mainly because they exchanged their money for money. One hundred and ninety yuan can build more than three houses.

They set out back to the mountain at around two o'clock in the middle of the night. They returned a lot faster, which was actually a matter of mood.

They knew all the information they wanted to know, including where the land allocated to them was and how much money it could be exchanged for.

"Uncle Wu, what if someone is unwilling to come down the mountain and sell their useless things?" In the eyes of these young men, these beautiful jewelry are useless if they cannot be exchanged for money.

Cao Xuemei snorted, "If you don't agree, just stay on the mountain. If you don't want to exchange for money, give them jewelry. Of course, don't let them choose. You know, this is like forcing the Taoist priest to pick the good ones. If they pick all the good ones, it will be embarrassing to look for the Taoist priest."

"Yes, Xuemei is right. We still have so many things, it would be unreasonable if we don't give them something good."

Cao Qingping was listening on the side and found that what his daughter said made sense.

Indeed, if the beans are sold to others, it would be unreasonable to pick out the good quality ones. If some people don't believe it, let them come with you next time you sell jewelry, and don't think that they are the only ones who are capable and everyone else is a bad person.

It should have taken them two days and one night to get back to the village, but they arrived home at about one in the middle of the night. This was because they were familiar with the road conditions. If they were strangers, they might not be able to find the way even after three days.

The entire Cao family got up to serve the father and son.

"Didn't you go down the mountain? Why did you come back today?" asked the eldest son of the Cao family in confusion.

Under normal circumstances they should inquire about the situation in the county town today.

"Brother, we have taken a plane before. We were lucky enough to meet the same plane yesterday morning. The leader was kind enough to give us a ride. We found out everything yesterday afternoon, so we just had to get back quickly." Cao Xuemei said with a smile.

"I told you not to go, but you insisted on going. Are you feeling better now? Look how tired you are." Cao Qingping's wife scolded her smiling daughter. How much suffering did she have to endure for getting her boots wet?
"Mom, please stop reading. I am so tired but I am willing to go down the mountain to take a look. Do you think I am right, sister-in-law?"

Both sisters-in-law nodded. "Isn't it? I haven't been down the mountain yet. Little sister, is it good down the mountain?"

“There are good and bad things, but I still want to get down the mountain.

The chief officer made the same promise to us as the government down there. We also went to see the land allocated to us. It was a large, flat piece of land, and it was pleasing to the eye. "

As the Cao family listened to the younger sister's description, they all had smiles on their faces.

The father and son each had a bowl of noodle dumplings and an egg.

"Mom, you are so generous today. I haven't seen any eggs in the grocery store."

"Little sister, did you go to the grocery store?"

"Of course, Dad, the jewelry we brought over was sold in the grocery store. Of course, I didn't say we sold it to the grocery store."

"Is there a lot of stuff in there? Did you buy me some needle and thread?"

"I bought it, I bought it. I also bought a mirror. In fact, there are a lot of other good things that I didn't have time to buy." Listening to his daughter chattering about what she saw below, Cao Qingping would add some information from time to time.

It was really late and the father and son were tired, so they lay down and fell asleep quickly. Cao Qingping also asked his family to wake him up at eight o'clock.

I have already told Gangzi and the other five to notify everyone to hold a meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow, and to discuss it with the elders in advance before that.

The old people in the village have also woken up. They know that those who went down the mountain have returned. They are anxious and want to know what is happening down the mountain, but it is the middle of the night, so they had to wait.

The next day, several elders came to Cao's house together. "Uncle San, wait a minute. I'll go and wake Qingping up. We came back too late, and they didn't even have a break on the way." "Okay, we're also anxious to know what happened next."

Cao Xuemei came out yawning, "The Third Master is here?"

"Girl, tell me what happened down there first."

"Third Master, none of our worries have happened. The county magistrate has even promised that we can go down the mountain to settle our household registration anytime. And the land allocated for our village is very large."

Cao Qingping also got up. As he was old, he couldn't recover after just a few hours of rest.

"Old Five, why are you in such a hurry to come back? You are not young anymore, you should take it easy."

"Uncle San, I'm in a hurry to come back, so I'll show you this paper first. I'll go wash my face and refresh myself."

The five old men looked at the paper, each of them gnashing their teeth and asking, "Why is the money so little?"

"Yeah, that's too little. And I haven't even looked at the quality yet, it's not cost-effective."

When Cao Qingping came in, he saw five elders standing there with worried faces.

"Uncle San, Uncle Liu, do you think this price is okay?"

“Isn’t that too little?”

"Too little? After we confirmed the land was allocated to us, we went to the pawnshop in the county town first. After the owner looked at it, he only gave 1.8 yuan for each piece, and also for the calligraphy and painting.

I went to the bank again, but they wouldn't accept it. I went to a foreign shop, and they gave me 1.5 yuan, and other shops gave me just over 1 yuan."

“Don’t you care about quality?”

Cao Qingping shook his head and said, "No, no one wants these things."

"How did you sell it for five dollars?"

"I'm already disappointed. If they really only give us that little money, what can we do?
I bumped into a Taoist priest on the road, and he told me that we were going down the mountain. I asked him to tell me if we could go down the mountain. Why did I feel like nothing was going well?

Later, I heard that they offered me a price, and when no one wanted it, they asked me to name a price. I plucked up the courage to ask for five dollars. In fact, I thought I could sell it for three dollars.

The Taoist priest took us to a grocery store and asked the shopkeeper there to take a look. The shopkeeper told us that they didn't want it and that it was priceless. He also told me to keep it, saying that it might be worth a lot of money in a few decades.

In the end, the Taoist priest bought all the things I brought with him, using the money lent to him by the grocery store."

The five old men all looked at Cao Qingping in surprise.

"So you can only buy one for a little over a dollar?"

“Yes, but I shamelessly told the Taoist priest that I wanted to sell the rest to him, and he didn’t refuse. He looked like a wealthy man.

Third uncle, sixth uncle, fourth uncle, discuss whether to sell this thing or not. Because we are in a hurry, we did not ask how much it would cost to build a house. We thought that sixty or seventy yuan should be enough. Even if we save money, we should build sixty-eight houses, right? The young people should also want to separate from the family. If we sell it, we can still use the money to build a house, or we can divide it among everyone. But we have to find a way to buy a house ourselves. We have been living off our savings for so many years. If anyone does not believe it, we can check the accounts. I will ask Gangzi and others to call a meeting at ten o'clock to discuss it. "
