A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 149 The last one is in the prison department
Old Mrs. Jiang didn't care how the villagers reacted.

The grandfather and grandson entered the village chief's house, and as soon as they raised their eyes, they saw the village chief sitting under the eaves with a sad face.

"village head?"

Old Mrs. Jiang’s voice was calm.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he instantly attracted the old man sitting under the eaves.

The old man, who originally had a sad face, showed a long-lost smile when he saw Old Mrs. Jiang coming.

"So you are from the Jiang family, come in and sit down!"

After the village chief finished speaking, he stood up from the stool tremblingly and walked into the house towards Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Yunjin.

At this moment, the village chief's son, who heard the noise in the house, also came out.

When he saw Old Mrs. Jiang coming to the door, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. After he realized what was happening, he hurriedly went to serve tea and water to Old Mrs. Jiang.

As soon as Old Mrs. Jiang sat down, tea was served on the table.

After taking a seat, Old Mrs. Jiang went straight to the point.

"Village Chief, thank you for your care these days. Three days from now will be the wedding day of my third son. I specially invite your family to have a drink at the wedding. I hope you can do me the honor of visiting my humble home!"

Old Mrs. Jiang had a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of joy.

The village chief, who was originally frightened, froze in place for a moment after hearing what Old Lady Jiang said, and was unable to recover for a long time.

In the end, it was Old Mrs. Jiang who patiently said it again, and the village chief finally reacted with a red face.

"Okay, okay! Our whole family will definitely go there to share in the joy! Congratulations, old lady!"

After the village chief came to his senses, he exchanged a few words with Old Mrs. Jiang.

After finishing the important matters, Mrs. Jiang also told him the other purpose of this trip.

"Excuse me, may I ask how many acres of high-quality farmland we still have in our village? I want to buy some more land. We eat a lot at home, so we didn't buy enough before the New Year!"

Old Mrs. Jiang smiled embarrassedly at the end of her speech.

This proposal made the village chief curious.

"Wait a moment!"

The village chief had never expected that a family as profitable as the Jiang family would still have to dig for food in the fields! This shocked him.

After the shock, he looked through the list carefully.

It took a long time before he took his eyes off the list.

"Madam, I just checked. There are twenty acres of top-quality farmland! Do you really want all of it? This is two hundred taels of silver!"

After the village chief looked at it, he calculated how much money the twenty acres would cost. After the calculation, he was shocked.

Without waiting for Mrs. Jiang to reply, the village chief tried to dissuade her again!
"Old lady, you have to think it over carefully. If the weather was good in previous years, I would not have said anything more to you, but this year is different!"

After the village chief said this, he shook his head helplessly.

How could Mrs. Jiang not know what the other party meant?

There was a severe drought last year. Although the capital was less affected, the sharp drop in food supplies, coupled with taxes, made it difficult for the common people to breathe.

In addition, there was no snow last winter, which indicates that there will be no good weather in the coming year. How can the people who depend on the weather for their livelihood feel at ease?
That is why the village chief repeatedly advised Mrs. Jiang against buying so much land.

When Mrs. Jiang heard these words, she hesitated a little and felt a little shaken in her heart.

When her eyes fell on the determined look of her little granddaughter, she couldn't help but recall that on the way here just now, her little granddaughter said that there was a way to solve the problem of grain seeds, and it might even increase production!
Increase production?

Old Mrs. Jiang dared not even think about this idea!

There is abundant rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River, and the highest yield is only 150 kilograms.

In places like those outside the Great Wall, the harvest is only about 100 kilograms at the best time.

If the yield can be increased...Mrs. Jiang wants to give it a try!
After all, we grow crops for our own consumption! The land cannot be left uncultivated!
"Don't worry, Village Chief. I do want 20 acres of top-quality farmland. If there are any idle vegetable plots, I would like to buy some more!"

Mrs. Jiang spoke in a firm tone.

The village chief opened his mouth but failed to persuade him again.

After all, it was Old Lady Jiang who made the decision.

Finally, Mrs. Jiang decided to buy twenty acres of prime farmland, and also bought a whole plot of land behind her house to grow vegetables!

The idea of ​​growing vegetables came to Old Lady Jiang after she saw the good performance of the little girl.

Especially now that her family business depends on this vegetable garden, the idea of ​​buying land has begun to arise in her mind.

If we plant the seeds now, when the vegetables in the garden are eaten up, we can just fill in the gaps in the backyard!
After Mrs. Jiang finalized the agreement with the village chief, she decided to have her eldest son bring the money to the village chief three days later to sign the sales contract, and then go to the government office in Beijing to register it.

However, regarding the land purchase, Old Lady Jiang asked the village chief to keep it secret for the time being.

It can be hidden for a while.

As for the Jiang family's wedding, the village chief also asked Old Mrs. Jiang for her opinion on whether to invite villagers to come.

Usually when people in the village have a wedding, they invite everyone in the village.

Firstly, it is for fun.

Secondly, it is to enhance the feelings of the villagers.

When the village chief learned that the Jiang family was going to have a wedding, he was wondering whether to invite them.

After all, with the current wealth of the Jiang family, it is unknown when they will settle down in the capital! How could they be interested in such a small place like theirs?

The village chief was a little confused.

Before he could think any more, Old Mrs. Jiang gave him the answer.

"Everyone who comes is a guest. We, the Jiang family, will naturally welcome you warmly! If you come here to cause trouble, don't blame us for being merciless!"

After saying this, Old Mrs. Jiang took her granddaughter and left.

As soon as the people left, the village chief's son couldn't help but approach his father and asked, "Dad, what does the Jiang family mean by this?"

"Son! When you become the village chief in the future, you must be nicer to the Jiang family! The Jiang family is forgiving of past grudges, that's good! It's good!"

The village chief hunched over and gave instructions to his son over and over again.

After Old Lady Jiang took Jiang Yunjin away from the village chief, they came to the main road. After taking only two steps, they saw many villagers surrounding them.

At first, Mrs. Jiang pretended not to see anything, but these people seemed not to notice the alienation emanating from Mrs. Jiang, and instead kept moving closer.

"Madam Jiang, I heard that your business is very prosperous. Could you let us learn from you?"

"Mrs. Jiang, is your family in need of anyone? Can we go and help? And earn some money to support the family?"

"Madam Jiang, if you don't want to, then you can tell us the secret of making money or your family's recipe!"

Old Mrs. Jiang didn't take what the two people in front of her said to heart, but just walked straight forward.

Only after hearing what the last person said did she suddenly stop.

Her old face was covered with frost, and she looked coldly at the man who had just asked for the recipe.

He is a man in his thirties, with a burly build, but a pair of shifty eyes.

"Do you want our recipe?" Old Mrs. Jiang said with a cold face and a somewhat aggressive tone.

The man nodded quickly upon hearing this, with a look of greed on his face.

Jiang Yunjin, who was standing aside, raised her fair little face and spoke to Old Lady Jiang in a puzzled look.

"Grandma, the last person who wanted our recipe is still in the prison! Will this person also be in the prison today?"
