Chapter 174 Buying Land (2)

It was Ou who opened the door. Seeing that it was the Jin brothers, he immediately welcomed them in.

Jin Si handed the souvenir he brought to Ou Shi and got straight to the point, talking about buying land.

When the village chief heard that they wanted to buy land, he was very surprised.

"Second and fourth son, please don't fool me. This is not a joke."

After spring started, many people in Lizi Village saw that it had not rained again this year and had to give up on spring plowing. However, their rice jars had bottomed out and they came to him one after another to talk about selling their land. His hair turned white with worry.

Some people even raised the price to [-] taels of silver per acre in exchange for a few taels of silver to buy grain.

If grain hadn't been more expensive than oil these days, fields at this price would have been robbed if they were released.

But today, Jin Er and Jin Si came to the door and said that they wanted to buy land, not sell it. The village chief was relieved, but at the same time he didn't believe it.

Jin Si said: "Uncle village chief, you are the elder of our village. Who dares to bully you? Look, boy, I brought all the money."

The purse full of silver fell on the table with a crisp sound. The village chief opened it and found that there were ingots of silver of different sizes inside. Although he did not use a scale to weigh it, the visual inspection would definitely not be less than 100 taels of silver.

The village chief took a breath and said, "Second and fourth, are you doing those illegal things?"

It’s not surprising that the village chief was suspicious. Let alone this famine year, even in a good harvest year, ordinary farmers couldn’t come up with so much money at once.

Jin Si smiled and explained: "Uncle Village Chief, you have forgotten that my Yuanbao was used as a model for Mo Xuan, and Mr. Wan Mo gave me a reward of 50 taels."

"Yes, plus we went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. We were lucky and dug out a few wild ginseng roots. We sold them to the medical center and the money came in!"

Jin Er also echoed, saying that the village chief is not an outsider anyway, he is still an old cousin of the Jin family, so there is no harm in telling him these things.

Jin Sidao: "Yes, our family has never seen so many silver coins. We were so worried that we couldn't sleep all night long. No, my parents panicked and asked us brothers to come to you with the silver coins. Please help me find out who has good land for sale, and buy it if it suits me. It is better than leaving the money at home and being missed by thieves."

As soon as the two brothers sang in harmony, the village chief had no reason not to believe him. He immediately took the two brothers, Jin Er and Jin Si, to visit the homes of the villagers who wanted to sell their land, and discussed the purchase of the land with them.

In the end, the two brothers bought 24 acres of fertile farmland from more than a dozen farmers in pieces for [-] taels and [-] taels of silver higher than the current 'market price'.

Because the price was five cents more, the Jin brothers were grateful to the people who sold their land, saying that their family was kind-hearted and willing to give them five more cents to buy food, which made Jin Er and Jin Si blush.Tian deed went through the formalities with the village chief, then drove the carriage to the county government office to register, and then he went home with peace of mind to deal with the Miao family.

The village chief came home after a day of running around. After finally taking a sip of hot water, Ou came over with the money box in his arms, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?" The village chief looked at his wife.

Ou Shishen said nonchalantly: "Head of the family, do you think life will get better and better after the Jin family adopted Yuan Bao?"

"Huh?" The village chief put down his tea cup and fell into deep thought.

Ou Shi continued: "In the past, their family was very poor. After drinking the porridge, it was almost watery. But in a blink of an eye, Mr. Wan Mo was looking for the ingot portrait, and the Jin family made 50 taels; the Jin family went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. Don’t you think it’s strange that you can dig out ginseng and earn dozens of taels?”

"what do you mean……"

"Yuanbao must be a lucky star! It's definitely not a disaster like that bitch Liu Xianhua said." Ou Shi said firmly.

The village chief nodded.

Ou Shi opened the money box and said, "The second and fourth sons of the Jin family came to talk about buying land. After you left, I always felt that something was going to happen. Master, how about we follow the example of the Jin family and buy a few acres?" Come down to the ground? You can’t lose much if you put the fields in your hands.”

When the village chief heard Ou Shi's words, he grabbed the copper coins and silver ingots in the box and made a crisp sound. After a while, he made a decision.

"In this way, you call your son and daughter-in-law over to discuss. We can use half of our money to buy land, maybe three acres. The remaining half will be reserved for buying food."

"it is good."

After discussion, the village chief and his family decided to do as they were told and buy two acres of land with the Jin family.

As soon as he made the decision, the village chief asked Ou to bring food over. He was planning to have dinner and have a good rest, and talk about buying the land tomorrow.

But just as he picked up the bowl, there was a knock on the door.

Ou Shi was surprised and said: "Who is here at this late hour? Master, you eat first, and I will open the door."
