Chapter 36 The Miser

Mrs. Zhang simply filled a pot full of food with a pot, and said, "Old Zhang, you are uncomfortable, you can take these to the kitchen and eat them, it will not be good to save money."

Old man Zhang thanked his grandson and left with his grandson. Then he wiped out his tears in the kitchen and stroked Zhang Quan's head, "Quanzi, we can finally have enough to eat, and we must repay our master well in the future."

Zhang Quan was too young, so he just nodded, and then let go of eating. He listened to his grandfather for repaying his kindness, but now all he sees in his heart is the big piece of meat.

After dinner, the old Zhang headed to feed the cows, Xiaojun and Erya were forced by Yi Xue to learn words and arithmetic, and Sanya ran out to play with Zhang Quan.Mrs. Zhang and Yi Xue sat chatting together.

"Mom, I want to buy some more land, then raise pigs and chickens, and build a house again, do you think it's okay?" Yi Xue said after thinking for a while.

Knowing that Ganoderma lucidum has sold for a lot of money, Mrs. Zhang has the confidence, "Big girl, you can do whatever you say, and our family's life is going to be better. A few years ago, life was hard, and there were no craftsmen. , now it’s all right, we can live a good life slowly.”

Mrs. Zhang simply delegated the power to Yi Xue. Now she found that Da Ya was really different from before. Although she was young, she was very independent. She thought of many things that she couldn't think of, and she did things in an orderly manner.

"Mother, let me do the math. Let's buy another [-] acres of sandy land, and [-] acres of irrigated land are enough. The rest of the money will be used to build a small yard," Yi Xue said thoughtfully.

It is estimated that 140 mu of sandy land will cost 720 taels of silver, and 860 mu of irrigated land will cost 50 taels of silver, adding up to a total of [-] taels of silver.It costs [-] taels of silver to build a small courtyard with three bedrooms. After calculating it like this, I really don't have much money.

Yi Xue sighed, this money is really useless. Some people in the previous life said that money is a bastard, but I want to say that money is a golden egg. Without money, it is difficult to move an inch.

"It's all up to you, and you will be the master in the future." Mrs. Zhang has no objection.

Yi Xue chuckled, "Mom, you really think highly of me, I'm only 11 years old, okay, let others hear it, and think you're abusing me."

Mrs. Zhang pressed Yi Xue's head, and was teased by Yi Xue and laughed, "Have you ever seen someone abused with money? Are you the master of the house at such a young age? Are you not proud?"

Yi Xue laughed out loud, causing Lao Zhang to look this way.

"Mother, you should discuss with the district chief about buying the land. As for the reason they ask, just tell the truth. But it's best to find a new place to build the house. I hope it should be in our sandy land at the foot of the mountain. The side, where there are mountains and water is the best," Yi Xue said of her plan.

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "What about our side?"

"This side is also kept here. Firstly, we have a place to live when we build the house, and secondly, we can dismantle it and rebuild it later," Yi Xue said.

As soon as this side finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang went to look for Li Changli, but Yi Xue went to the sandy land to check the location.

The sand is all her own, so it’s not a problem to cover it anywhere, but Yixue still thinks that the place where the spring was found is better, the terrain is higher, there was Tianwolong in the previous life, and the saying in Jizang is a place with good mountains and rivers, Must be a very lucky place.

In fact, she plans to build four or five houses first, and when she has money, she will build a villa in her previous life, and then a big manor, and become a farmer herself.Looking forward to the future, Yi Xue is happy.

After returning home, Mrs. Zhang has already returned.She smiled and said, "My girl, your money is very useful. After collecting five taels of silver, the head of the village immediately went to the village head. The village head was originally reluctant and wanted to embarrass me, but you let go of your trick secretly." Five taels of silver was given to the village head’s wife, and she immediately stood up and spoke to us, and we all agreed.”

"Mother, where did you say the land is?" Yi Xue said hurriedly, she didn't want to make the land far away, which would be inconvenient.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Your mother is not stupid. I have seen it. There is 39 mu of sandy land just below the sandy land, and 17 mu of irrigated land next to Xiahe Village. They are all good land. The irrigated land in Xiahe Village is owned by the owner. They want to move to the county seat. They are eager to sell the land and demand a one-time payment, so the land is cheaper by one tael per mu, and [-] taels is settled. But their crops It has not been confiscated, and the crops in the field are still theirs.”

"Of course. 17 taels, this saves 39 taels of silver, which is really a bargain." Yi Xue felt that she was about to become a miser, and kept counting the silver.

"This is what the village head told me. If you are free, I'd like to send a favor to the village chief," Zhang said happily.
