Chapter 67

Until one person broke the deadlock, raised his hand and said, "I'm willing to sell!"

When one person takes the lead, others follow suit: "I'm willing to sell too!"

"The land is sold as soon as it is sold, and there are still wages to earn. Where can anyone find a job that costs [-] yuan a month!" Such a big bargain, don't take it for nothing!
"That's right! If it's really sold for three taels of silver, to be honest, I don't necessarily feel sorry for my conscience. Only we know what kind of geology we have, and it's good if someone is willing to buy it." The villagers understood that Xu Ruqing had given them the greatest favor.

A widow came up and said, "Miss Xu, I want to sell it too. My land is [-] acres, and the soil quality is much better than those. Receive those three months' wages." She was worried that Xu Ruqing would dislike her as a woman with weaker strength than a man, and she was afraid that she would not give her a chance to earn money.

Another widow also responded: "Yes, yes, me too, me too..."

Xu Ruqing just smiled gently when she heard the words: "The worries of the sisters-in-law are completely unnecessary. It is too late for me to thank you for being willing to help me, so why would I despise you? Since everyone agrees, let's invite someone now Write down the written documents, everyone line up, one by one, come up and sign. "

Xu Laoqi saw that everyone was in high spirits, and that this business was indeed profitable for them, so he happily took out a pen and paper from his pocket, which he had prepared long ago.

Xu Laoqi looked at the noisy crowd and shouted loudly: "Which brother can read, please come up and write a written proof!"

The villagers fell silent for a moment. They looked left and right, not knowing who could write.

I don't blame them for this. The opportunities for education in the countryside are lacking. If they could read and write, they wouldn't be trapped in this mountainous place, doing poor jobs to make ends meet.

Seeing this, Wang Houxiang secretly felt complacent. No one knows that Wang Houxiang is the only one in the ten miles and eight villages who is highly educated. Not only is he familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but he also writes very well!

Just as he was proudly waiting for everyone to ask him to write, a loud male voice interrupted his thoughts. "I come!"

Wang Jiawei stepped forward in three steps at a time, picked up a brush and began to write on the paper, and soon two different written documents were set up. The process was completed in one go without any muddle.

Xu Ruqing took a look at the handwriting, and had to say that Wang Jiawei's handwriting was vigorous and powerful, very artistic.

She held a piece of paper in her left hand and presented it in black and white in front of the villagers: "This is a paper for selling land, and this is for hiring workers. Everyone, if there is no problem, line up and come up one by one." Let's sign it."

Some villagers could barely read those words, knowing that Xu Ruqing and the others would definitely not lie to them, so they lined up methodically, one after another, they went up to write their names crookedly on the slips, and then stamped their thumbprints on them. .

Wang Houxiang looked at the crowd swarming up, his face turned dark for a while, turning blue and white at times, he was so angry that he felt blocked.

Really, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have said it so badly. He also wanted to sell the land and earn wages!
When everyone finished signing and almost dispersed, he came forward with a smirk: "Miss Xu..."

Xu Ruqing was just about to put away the written receipt in the cyst, when she saw the movement of Wang Houxiang's hand: "Is there anything else to do with the certificate?"

Wang Houxiang smiled awkwardly: "That... I also want to sell the land."

Xu Ruqing smiled understandingly when she heard the words, but she didn't make things difficult for Wang Houxiang. After all, he is a Li card, and he will still be useful in the future. "I thought what was the matter. If the Li Zheng didn't dislike the lack of money, then he should also sign on it."

Wang Houxiang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay."

Wang Houxiang repeatedly confirmed that there was no abnormality in the contents of the written documents. After all these were done, he also went home satisfied.

Xu Ruqing folded the documents carefully, and then looked at Xu Laoqi and Zhou Qiangzi beside him: "Uncle Xu, Uncle Qiangzi, it is thanks to you that this matter can be settled today. I will give these two documents to you alone One, you keep it safe for the villagers."

Xu Laoqi and Zhou Qiangzi are not hypocritical, it is most appropriate for them to keep this document: "Okay, then let us keep it here."

Zhou Qiangzi invited: "Seeing that it's getting late, Miss Xu, if you don't mind, come to my house for dinner."

Xu Ruqing shook her head: "No, I still have a husband and children at home waiting for me to go back, so I won't bother you two."

The two of them were shocked when they heard the words. Miss Xu looked petite, immature and cute, and she didn't look like someone who was married and had children.

However, they were only surprised for a while, but did not say: "We are rude, so it is Mrs. Xu."

Xu Ruqing just smiled: "It's okay."

"Since that's the case, then I won't keep Mrs. Xu for dinner anymore. Mrs. Xu will go slowly."

Xu Ruqing nodded: "OK."

After this busy journey, the sky gradually turned dark, Xu Ruqing and Wang Sun and his wife got back into the carriage and continued on their way.

The previous problem was solved, but a new problem came again.

The land is there, but where do the herb seeds come from?
I don't know where there are medicinal herb seeds for sale in the capital. In the underdeveloped ancient times, medicinal herb seeds were very rare, and only special shops could sell them, but she didn't know anyone, so the cost of purchasing more than 200 acres must be very high.

Xu Ruqing closed her eyes slightly, and seemed to let out a sigh.

After following her just now, Wang Jiawei also probably knew what Xu Ruqing's intention for buying the land was, so he took the initiative to ask: "The benefactor bought those lands to grow medicinal herbs?"

Xu Ruqing raised his eyes and replied: "Yes, but I don't know where there is a place in the capital that sells medicinal herb seeds. I guess I have to go out for a run tomorrow."

Hearing what Xu Ruqing said, Wang Jiawei seemed to have thought of some good idea, so he volunteered and said: "If the benefactor is trustworthy, I can help the benefactor in this matter."

Xu Ruqing became interested: "Oh? Brother Wang, do you have any good suggestions?"

"My benefactor doesn't know that my ancestors started their business by farming. In my generation, the scope of the family business has been expanded and transformed into a merchant. Some of the industries under my name have also involved the medical industry. Although my family is in decline and I am in a terrible state , but the few friends I know are very loyal, maybe they can help the benefactor a little bit." When Wang Jiawei talked about his family's downfall, there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes, even though he was unwilling to face it in the early days This fact, but after life and death, he had to look forward.

As long as my first wife and son are in good health, and the family is safe and healthy, that's enough.
