Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 40
Rao Shouqin didn't think so, he just felt very sorry: "His fifth uncle, it's me, brother-in-law, who is incompetent, and I'm going to make you feel wronged."

Li Zheng was also a little embarrassed, and quickly said: "Well, no one will buy the land in the back mountain anyway, so I'll make the decision to make it cheaper, one mu of land is only two taels of silver, how about it?"

Rao Shouqin's eyes widened: "That place also needs a tael of silver?"

Li Zheng was a little embarrassed: "I know, the price is a bit high, but her fifth uncle is a foreigner. If it is lower, I'm afraid someone will stand up and object."

Uncle Wu smiled and replied, "I think it will work, thank you Lizheng! Then, I'll just buy half an acre..."

Da Ya snatched the conversation away: "Where is half an acre enough? I think there is a fairly flat place near the small barren mountain, about two acres. To build a house in the mountain, you must surround a small courtyard. You can enclose it a bit bigger, just buy a three-acre mountain land. By the way, build the courtyard wall higher, so it will be safer, and you won’t have to worry about wolves entering the house at night!"

Lizheng thought about it, there were no useful trees in the area that Da Ya mentioned, and most of them were thorns and miscellaneous trees. Selling that area to her fifth uncle, the villagers should have nothing to object to.He nodded and agreed: "I think it will work, but the big trees have to be cut down first, so that they can be used to build ancestral halls in the village in the future."

Da Ya immediately took out ten taels of silver: "Thank you, Grandpa Li Zheng, I have to trouble Grandpa to help my fifth uncle finish this matter as soon as possible, and please ask Grandpa Li Zheng to take the extra taels to the yamen."

Li Zheng stretched out his hand to pick it up: "That's fine, I'll take it first, and when the time comes, more refunds and less compensation!"

Uncle Wu was in a hurry, and quickly took out his purse: "No, how can this work, I have money, I will give it myself!"

The big girl winked at the cheap father, and Rao Shouqin reacted, and put the fifth uncle's money bag back into his pocket with a smile: "This money is not for you, but for lending you. Keep the money on hand. Build a house, and pay it back when you have money in the future!"

After several disputes, the fifth uncle was defeated, his eyes turned red immediately, and he choked up and said, "Thank you, I will remember your kindness to me forever!"

Li Zheng watched coldly, and his affection for Da Ya rose to a higher level, and he couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart: "Oh, such a good little girl, why isn't she my granddaughter?"

Early the next morning, Lizheng held a village meeting to discuss matters related to Da Ya's fifth uncle's settlement in Shanqian Village.As expected, almost none of the villagers objected. After all, the thorny land in the back mountain was of little value. If someone was willing to pay for it, it would add a sum of money to the village's public account, which was a very good thing.

The bandit Asan's family expressed strong dissatisfaction.

"One mu of land is only sold for two taels of silver, how can this work? It's not sold to the villagers, at least 15 taels of silver per mu, otherwise, I will never agree!" The bandit Ah San put his hands on his hips and jumped to his feet. road.

"Yeah, yeah, that's exactly the reason! People from other villages want to settle in Shanqian Village, so that the people in the village don't get any benefits. How can that be done?!"

"That's right, that's right, our Shanqian Village is not a market, anyone who wants to come can come, what is that?! 15 taels of silver, that's all cheap, it's all because of our kindness, otherwise, 50 taels would be too Not too much!"

"You're right, 15 taels of silver can't be less, otherwise, whoever wants to come will come, and there will be no peaceful life in this village in the future!"

Bandit Ah San's family members shouted, and several men who were close to him also echoed loudly. The scene was chaotic.

Li Zheng couldn't help rolling his eyes: Hehe, you're right, this Shanqian Village will live in peace without your bandit Ah San's family!As long as there is your family, this Shanqian Village, I will always have a heart hanging in front of me as a Lizheng.

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it out, this family is not easy to mess with, everyone is a mess.After offending this family, he couldn't even think about living a peaceful life here, so he sighed and tried to persuade in a calm tone: "Is 15 taels of silver too much? The wasteland in this village is only one tael at most." Silver, like the place in the back mountain, only grows thorns, no matter what, it is not worth 15 taels of silver! Two taels of silver per mu is something I have considered again and again. It was set a little higher on purpose.”

The patriarch also came out to speak: "That's the reason. If people in the village buy it, half a tael of silver is not needed for an acre. We can't go too far!" , thanks to what you said, are you crazy about money? Bullying is not the way to bully, it's better to leave a little room for being a human being!"

Bandit Ah San danced the wooden stick in his hand wildly: "I'm crazy about money, can't I do it? How dare you say that you don't like money?!" It turned out to be a questioning look, like a pair of copper bells His big eyes, blood red and blood red, are very scary.The expression on that face clearly engraved this line of words: If you are sensible, just nod obediently, otherwise your family will have a good fruit!
When Da Ya saw it, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain!
Don't provoke someone like Bandit Ah San easily, otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future!Moreover, what the bandit Ah San said was not without reason.This is in the previous life, if the child went to a better kindergarten, if he didn't have a local registered permanent residence, he would have to pay tens of thousands of sponsorship fees!
Thinking of this, Da Ya smiled comfortingly at Uncle Wu, and said in a cold and clear voice, "Grandpa Lizheng and Grandpa Patriarch, don't argue any more. 15 taels will be 15 taels. According to the original plan, we will still buy three acres."

"Da Ya, Fifth Uncle doesn't have that much money!" Fifth Uncle was in a hurry and interrupted Da Ya's words.In his pocket, there was only ten taels of silver in total.

Da Ya smiled reassuringly at Uncle Wu, scanned the crowd sharply, and changed the topic: "However, I want to buy the small valley between my small barren mountain and the back mountain, and the price is no less. Just ten taels of silver! If you have any opinions, please raise them now, but in the valley, I won’t give you even one more copper plate!”

Lizheng coughed, and asked loudly: "In that valley, Da Ya is willing to pay ten taels to buy it. Do you have any opinions?"

Bandit Ah San's lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but Lizheng glanced at him sharply: "I said, ten taels of silver is a lot, and the valley grows nothing but thorns, so what's the use? If it is I myself, even if it only costs a penny, I definitely wouldn’t buy it! Let’s put it this way, if someone wants to object, as long as the price is higher than that of Da Ya, then sell it to him!”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent, and those who wanted to make trouble immediately let go of their petty thoughts.The bandit Ah San exchanged glances with his family, and then died down.

Li Zheng announced loudly: "This is very good. If this is the case, then I will write two documents, and the head of each family will sign and sign on the documents, so as not to regret it in the future, and be tedious."

Da Ya had been prepared for a long time, and immediately sent a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and polished it for Li Zheng herself.After a while, two documents covered with fingerprints came into the hands of Rao Shouqin and Fifth Uncle.

"Thank you Lizheng, thank you folks!" Da Ya sincerely bowed to everyone, and took out four five taels of silver ingots from her purse to Li Zheng: "This is 20 taels of silver, just treat it as a deposit , Grandpa Lizheng, please take people to the back mountain right now to measure the area of ​​Wujiu’s homestead and the valley. I will pay the rest of the money when I go to the county town to apply for the red deed tomorrow!"

Before the words fell, an unusually sharp voice sounded in the huge ancestral hall: "What? You pay him to buy land? No way! You are a thing that turns your elbows away. If you have money, you don't respect your elders, and your conscience is punished by dogs. Can you eat it?!"

It was Da Ya's second aunt Bai who said this.

The fifth uncle's complexion changed drastically, and he was extremely embarrassed, and he said quickly: "Big girl, the fifth uncle can't let you pay for the land! Now that the fifth uncle has ten taels of silver on hand, he will buy half an acre of mountain land, and the rest of the money will be paid for." It's enough to build an adobe house. Keep your money, and your family will have to build a house in autumn!"

Originally, he never thought about using Da Ya's money. Originally, if two taels of silver was used for one mu of mountain land, he would be able to buy three mu of it.What I didn't expect was that when things came to an end, such an accident happened.And his little niece offered to pay money to buy land and build a house for him, which made him very moved.

"Fifth Uncle, don't worry, I'll figure out a way to solve the money issue!" Da Ya smiled sweetly at Fifth Uncle, and when her eyes shifted to Bai Shi, she suddenly became stern: "You are like an elder What does it look like? Back then, when our family was kicked out of the house, you should have thought that our family’s money has nothing to do with the people in the old house! Besides, my fifth uncle is my mother’s direct relative. Brother, I also have a very close blood relationship. What about you? Tell yourself, who are you from me?

It's just my second uncle's wife, she's just a person surnamed Bai, not only has no blood relationship with me at all, but also a white-eyed wolf with evil intentions!What qualifications do you have to spend my hard-earned money?You are thick-skinned, and you think the rest of the people are too stupid. You think that the people in my family are still the same as before the separation, willing to let you be rounded and flattened, and you can bully them as you want? ! "

"That's right, no one is born a fool. They were kicked out of the house by being penniless, and they don't know how to wake up. They will be fooled by you for the rest of their lives?" Some people couldn't help but sneer and speak for Da Ya.

The one who said this was Mao Shan, who was very close to Rao Shouqin, and he was a straightforward man.From childhood to adulthood, he has always protected Rao Shouqin, and from time to time he would help this poor partner, giving him a small rice dumpling, or a sweet potato or something.In Rao Shouqin's childhood memory, Maoshan is one of his few warmths, which made his childhood not feel too miserable.

Bai's face suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot: "Where did the mad dog come from? This is my family's business, I want you to talk too much?" This annoying ghost, Maoshan, often confronts her in order to protect the boss, and she has long hated her to death He is gone!Today, this guy came to provoke her again, how can she not be annoyed?
She didn't know it was, she was annoyed, but the other party was a little more annoyed than she was.

Her words immediately annoyed Maoshan, and the young man glared at her: "Oh, the road is uneven, and people are not allowed to step on it? It is a shame to the whole village to have a daughter-in-law like you in Shanqian Village. It is the Rao family. Misfortune!"

These words were not polite at all, and Bai felt that blood was rushing upwards on his forehead: "I don't know what is good or bad, I am a talented lady, and my family is rich and capable. You humiliate me like this, wait for me My son has won a Jinshi, and you look good!"
