============ Favorite, recommend, favorite, recommend ============
Mrs. Zhang took out the pork and said with a smile on her face. To be honest, Mrs. Zhang's smile made Yi Xue somewhat uncomfortable. It was a kind of expression of begging and flattery.But Yixue would never talk about her mother, this was also a means of survival, otherwise she, Wang Yixue, would not be able to survive at some point.

"Li Zhang, look, I also came to see you and my sister-in-law. A few days ago, Da Ya and the others went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables. By chance, they dug a ten-year-old ginseng plant. This girl didn't recognize her. She came to the town yesterday. , was seen by a pharmacy boy, bought it after paying dozens of taels of silver, no, look at the big brother coming."

"Hey, there is such a thing?", the head of the village was shocked, is there still ginseng in the back mountain?Go and see more in the future, maybe you can find it yourself.

"That's right, this girl is so stupid that she doesn't know her," Zhang said to Yi Xue pretendingly.

Yi Xue secretly smiled, Mother's acting skills are really good.Yi Xue naturally blushed very cooperatively, "Daughter has never seen anything in the world."

"That's how lucky you are, hehe, the daughters-in-law of the Yaosi family, you are not just here to see me." The village head is a shrewd person, seeing Zhang's transfer of dozens of taels of silver, there must be other things.

"Brother Li Chang, I'm a little troublesome for you. You see, my family hasn't cultivated land for several years. It's not easy to raise four children. I just want to use this money to buy a few acres of land to live on," Mrs. Zhang said embarrassingly. Said.

buy land?The head of the village was taken aback for a moment, but he was also relieved. It is normal for rural people to buy land, "I don't know what kind of land you want to buy?"

"Uncle Chief, our family doesn't earn much money, so we just want to buy a few acres of sandy land and dry land, and I'm afraid that if the villagers say it, the village chief may not agree." Give a tael of silver and put it in the hands of the chief, "Uncle chief, you are a good person, please help us."

Yi Xue didn't tell Mrs. Zhang about this action.Last night, Yi Xue asked for a few taels of silver, but Mrs. Zhang simply gave it all to Yi Xue, saying, "You earned this, and the money will be yours from now on."

Yi Xue nodded, she needs money to develop, and giving it to her mother is an attitude, showing that she is filial.

Li Chang Yile, who didn't expect this girl to be so understanding of the world, immediately gave Yi Xue another high-level look, "That's easy to talk about. In the afternoon, you will accompany me to the village head brother and talk about it. You are also determined to buy the land there."

Yi Xue was taken aback, she really wasn't ready for this question, and hurriedly asked, "Does Uncle Chief know about the idle dry land and sandy land?"

The head of the village nodded, pointed to the front of the mountain and said, "Just behind your house, there is a lot of sandy land in front of the mountain. There is a sandy land with about four acres of sandy land, and there are two acres of dry land next to it."

Yi Xue thought about it in her heart, four acres of sandy land and two acres of dry land, a total of 52 taels of silver, and now she has 52 taels of silver left, feeling bitter, money is really useless.

"Thank you, Uncle Chief, we will wait for you this afternoon," Yi Xue said with a smile.

After Mrs. Zhang thanked her, she brought Yi Xue back and asked worriedly, "Big girl, is the money enough? After buying the land, I won't have the capital to farm it in the future."

Yi Xue smiled faintly, "Mother, don't worry, the money to buy the land is enough, as for the cost of farming, I will find a way."

In the afternoon, the head of the village took Zhang and Yi Xue to the village chief's house. The village chief was a highly respected member of the clan. When he was about to drive the Zhang family away last time, he still said, "They are all poor people." ,forget it"

The village chief didn't mean to sympathize with Mrs. Zhang, but felt a bit ashamed to deal with a widow with four children.In essence, he also disdains the status of Zhang's brothel.

Entering the village chief's house, the chief said with a smile, "Brother village chief, my brother came to visit."

The village chief came out and said enthusiastically, "Why is the elder brother coming here when you have time, haha, come, let me have a drink or two with my brother."

The chief immediately waved his hand, "I have something to tell my brother today, so I won't be too busy."

As soon as the village chief turned his head, he saw Zhang's mother and son, and his face was a little displeased. Such a woman came to the door, which made him feel bad.

"Brother, what's going on here?" Even if the village chief didn't like it, he was too embarrassed to turn his face in front of the village chief.

"Brother, to cut a long story short, the fourth daughter-in-law wants to buy land, so I'll come over to discuss with my brother," said the village chief awkwardly, and he could also see the village head's expression.
