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

Chapter 40 Buying a House
Speaking of which, the two met outside the Great Wall when they were young.

It was not until they had two children that they looked back on the past and realized they were from the same village.

Fortunately, the two of them had no in-laws in their ancestors.

But Mrs. Jiang was different from Mr. Jiang. She was forced to marry by her family and ran away in anger.

Mr. Jiang came to the outside of the Great Wall hoping to make a name for himself, but he unexpectedly met Mrs. Jiang.

At first, when Mrs. Jiang decided to return to Taoyuan Village, she was very conflicted.

She still has resentment towards her sister-in-law from her natal family.

Her parents died early, leaving only three siblings.

The eldest and second brothers got married before their parents died, but she, who was thirteen years old at the time, had not yet been engaged.

As soon as she came of age, her eldest sister-in-law started to take notice of her.

The second sister-in-law was kind-hearted and felt that this matter was inappropriate. She also wanted to persuade the eldest sister-in-law to think twice, but she was blocked by the other party who said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.

In desperation, Mrs. Jiang fled from home with her only savings.

Thinking back to the past, Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but tear up.

If she hadn't been thinking about her old man returning to his hometown, I'm afraid she really wouldn't have come back.

After a sigh, the Jiang family once again set out on the journey back to their hometown.

This short road is extremely difficult to walk on.

The red eyes of Old Mrs. Jiang were mistakenly thought by the Jiang family as being homesick.

The movement of driving the horse became a little faster.

After about half an incense stick of time, we arrived at Taoyuan Village.

As soon as he entered the village, Boss Jiang asked the villagers where the village chief lived.

When the villagers saw that they were outsiders, they all looked at the Jiang family curiously. They saw that they were dressed neatly and did not look like refugees.

For a moment, the villagers couldn't help but talk in a low voice.

Only a kind-looking old woman stood out from the crowd.

The old woman walked up to the Jiang family with a smile on her face, said hello, and then took the Jiang family to the village chief's residence.

Along the way, the old woman inquired about the origins of the Jiang family and also gave a brief introduction to the village.

Taoyuan Village is the closest village to the capital, and most of the major families in the village are surnamed Wang, Jiang, and Liu.

The village chief of Taoyuan Village is named Wang.

Although the village is closest to the capital, most of the villagers are not very wealthy.

They can barely support their families, but there are very few who are truly wealthy.

During the conversation, a group of people came to the door of Village Chief Wang.

The old woman who led the way was also a talkative person. She immediately walked forward and banged on the door with her hand.

"Village Chief! Someone is looking for you!"

The old woman shouted at the top of her voice, fearing that the people in the house couldn't hear her.

Such a cheerful personality made Old Mrs. Jiang feel somewhat favorable towards him.

Old Mrs. Jiang stepped forward, pulled the woman's sleeve and shouted, "Old sister, you have worked so hard!"

As the old lady spoke, she couldn't help but look the old woman in front of her up and down, and she felt that there was something familiar between her eyebrows.

But time makes people grow old, and they can’t even recognize what they used to look like.

The old woman waved her hand with a smile on her face, feeling a little embarrassed to be praised like that.

"Look at what you said. It's just a simple matter. I don't need my elder sister to thank me so much."

The old woman smiled and added, as if she remembered something, "My husband's surname is Qian, and he lives at the end of the village. If you have any problems in the future, just come and find me!"

Old Mrs. Qian could see that the large group of people in front of her were outsiders, and she was afraid that they would become part of the same village in the future.

Old Mrs. Jiang thanked him repeatedly, and felt more and more familiar in her heart.

Just as the two were talking, there was a creaking sound from the door, followed by an old voice.

"Old lady Qian, you come to smash my door again. Be careful if I break it, I'll ask you to pay for it!"

The door was opened from the inside and an elderly man walked out. He stroked his gray beard and looked at the group of people standing at the door, wondering.

"You are?"

Village Chief Wang looked at the Jiang family outside the door with a puzzled look on his face. He thought carefully and had never heard that the government officials were coming to resettle them. How could it be possible...

Just as the village chief was puzzled, Old Mrs. Jiang, who was standing outside the door, stepped forward and spoke politely to the other party.

"We came from outside the Great Wall and want to settle down here. Here are the travel permits we brought with us and the document written by the village chief. Please take a look at them one by one."

As Mrs. Jiang spoke, she took off a gray cloth bag from her body and pulled out a few treasured pieces of paper.

He placed the papers one by one in front of Village Chief Wang, allowing him to study them carefully.

After a long time, Village Chief Wang collected the paper and returned it to Old Mrs. Jiang.

"In that case, please come in. We have several houses for sale in our village. You have come in time and can choose one."

Village chief Wang politely invited the Jiang family into the yard.

Old Mrs. Qian nearby also joined in the fun.

Village Chief Wang turned around and went into the house to take out several maps of the house. He placed the maps in front of the Jiang family one by one and began to introduce them in detail.

"There are five mansions in total, three of which are relatively small. If your family lives here, it might be a bit crowded..." Village Chief Wang paused and set his eyes on several unmarried middle-aged men.

Old Mrs. Jiang followed the other person's gaze and understood his intention, so she spoke hurriedly.

"What the village chief said is true! May I ask how much land the remaining two plots occupy? Can they accommodate our whole family?"

Village Chief Wang pointed to one of the houses and said, "This one can accommodate your whole family. It covers a large area of ​​several acres. This house is at the end of the village, near the back mountain."

"Not only that, this house is more than enough for each of your family members to have a room, and there are extremely spacious yards in the front and back yards, which is very spacious whether you want to grow vegetables or raise chickens and ducks."

As soon as Village Chief Wang introduced the house, the Jiang family members liked it very much, and Old Mrs. Qian who was standing next to them couldn't help but speak.

"Sister, please take this house as soon as possible. You can be my neighbor now."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Jiang was somewhat tempted, but she still understood that such a large house would probably cost a lot of money.

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Village Chief, how much money does this house cost?"

"If it were before, this house would cost more than a thousand taels! But now it only costs a hundred taels." Village Chief Wang sighed.

When Mrs. Jiang heard that this house cost one hundred taels, she couldn't help but look embarrassed.

She really didn't have a hundred taels.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his attention to the smaller houses. After all, smaller houses would be cheaper.

Unexpectedly, just as he opened his mouth and had not yet spoken, he heard the voice of his eldest son.

"Village Chief, we want this house. Let's go to the government office to get the land deed now!"

As Boss Jiang spoke, he took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from his pocket.

When the banknote came out, not only Old Lady Jiang was stunned, but everyone else was stunned as well.

Old Mrs. Jiang wanted to scold Boss Jiang, how could he act so rashly?
But when the words came to my lips, they went around and returned to my stomach.

If she had money, she would definitely not use the child's money!
When Old Mrs. Jiang thought of this, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Yunjin, her eyes full of guilt!
