Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 171 Building a house, buying land again (4)
It was busy farming season at this time, and it was easier for Zhang Dashan and his son to find work, but because of Zhang Xiaocao's help before, they still chose to come to help. Originally, they didn't want wages, so how could Zhang Xiaocao not give it?

They have this heart, which is many times better than Zhang Baoyin and Huang's couple who always think about calculating others. Zhang Xiaocao is also willing to ask them for help. Digging the foundation is tiring, so she raises the wages a lot. Fifty cash a day, counting these twelve days, the father and son got a lot, a total of one or two taels of silver, more than they worked for a month!

Zhang Dashan held a tael or two of silver in his hand, and looked at his little daughter who had changed day by day since he left home. I went back with a gratified smile on my face: "I'm so happy that you can support a family when you grow up..."

After speaking, he was a little choked up and couldn't continue!

In just over half a year, he experienced several major events, and he was annoyed and complained in his heart, but after thinking about it afterwards, he realized that he really couldn't blame others. If he was forced to die, he could still Do not resist?

After thinking about this, he realized how wrong he was before, and how much he owed this daughter. As she said before, if he could care more about her and prevent his mother-in-law from treating her cruelly, maybe now , their family is happy together, even if they are poor, they are still a family!

Looking at Zhang Dashan like this, Zhang Xiaocao also felt a little uncomfortable. Although Zhang Dashan was wrong in those things, now he also knows that he was wrong, and she is relieved. Although it is impossible to recognize this father again, but seeing the original owner For her sake, she will not turn a blind eye to their difficulties, not to mention, except for Zhang Baoyin and his wife, they are all pretty good, no despair, no broken jars, but relying on their own hands and strength to continue to hold on a home!

The building of the house was proceeding in an orderly manner. It took five days, and the foundation had been laid. When the foundation was dry, the bricks could be officially laid!
It takes a few days for the foundation to dry. Taking advantage of these few days of free time, Zhang Xiaocao asked them to collect the cotton in the cotton field again, and then sell it all after drying. However, the cotton this time is not as much as the second recycling. There are only more than 800 catties, and the top-grade cotton is only [-] catties, and the quality has dropped a lot!

This is all normal. Generally speaking, the first cotton and the second are the best, and then the quality will be worse due to the impact of the climate.

Zhuyulou, but even so, the 6000 catties of cotton were sold for 1000 taels of silver, she was very satisfied!
A few days later, Le Lin came again and sent half of the money from the second cotton and the third cotton from Ganglou Village's 1 mu of land. Naturally, this time it was much more than the first time. There are a total of 2 taels. By now, Zhang Xiaocao has nearly [-] taels of silver in his hands!

Zhang Xiaocao was holding the front box full of banknotes, grinning happily, Grandma Zhang came in and saw her granddaughter's stupid look, she laughed.

"Looking at you so stupid, are you so happy?"

Seeing grandma come in, Zhang Xiaocao quickly closed the door, dragged grandma over, and mysteriously opened the box for her to see.

Even though Grandma Zhang knew that her granddaughter had earned a lot of money, she was still stunned by the sight of such a box full of silver notes!

"My darling, if this is exchanged for silver, I'm afraid it will fill up our closet!"

Grandma Zhang came back to her senses, and said this sentence.

Zhang Xiaocao thought about this question very seriously, and finally said affirmatively: "Our wardrobe is not big, one is probably not enough, maybe two!"

Grandma Zhang exclaimed and looked at the not-so-small wardrobe in the room, but this time she was not excited, but scared!
"So much money is left at home, and grandma feels uneasy, what should I do!"

After all, a lot of troubles have happened because of cotton, and now the family still has so much money, they are old and young, how can they keep it, if they attract thieves, it will be even more dangerous!
Grandma Zhang's words immediately reminded Zhang Xiaocao that everyone in the neighborhood knew that she had grown cotton, and even those in Ganglou Village had her share. It's a small matter, but losing your life is a big deal!
The scene of Gang's family setting fire and injuring others, and grandma falling to the ground unconsciously resurfaced in her mind!
Breaking out in a cold sweat, Zhang Xiaocao thought for a while, and decided to hire a few caretakers after the new house was built, so as not to sleep uneasy at night.

In the next few days, the new house is under construction in an orderly manner. Apart from checking the progress every day, Zhang Xiaocao is thinking about buying land to grow medicinal materials and produce thirteen incense. She has to buy this land as soon as possible. Those who bought and tended the medicinal materials were settled in the fields, so they built their houses near the medicinal fields!

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still any longer, and hurried to Li Zheng's house to talk about buying land and hills!
When Li Zheng saw her coming, the matter of his grandson threatening him appeared in his mind. When he thought of that unfilial guy, his face suddenly sank, and he was not as gentle as before!

Zhang Xiaocao secretly wondered, did she offend Li Zheng when she didn't know it?

She talked about buying wasteland and hilltops, and then asked, "Are there so many wastelands in our Zhangjia Village?"

After all, the nearby villages are not far apart, and the land boundaries are all next to each other. She doesn't know if they will cross the boundary, just like the area belonging to that village in the previous life is divided and cannot be occupied at will!

Li Zheng heard that she was going to buy nearly [-] mu of wasteland and small hills all at once, so he couldn't help asking, "Planting cotton again?"

Zhang Xiaocao shook her head and said, "No! I want to plant something else. Cotton will be planted on a large scale soon. I already have the land in Ganglou Village, so I don't plan to expand it!"

Li Zheng didn't ask any further questions, and said directly: "There must be [-] acres of wasteland. Although each village has its own boundaries, the higher authorities encourage land reclamation. There is no boundary for this wasteland, as long as it is not a random enclosure and it is not reclaimed! "

When Zhang Xiaocao heard this, she was very happy. The [-] mu of land is only at the current stage. If the demand expands in the future, she will definitely buy it again, and maybe plant other crops!
In the end, Zhang Xiaocao bought all the wasteland that was connected to the [-]-acre cotton field. This piece alone has [-] acres, but she wanted to gather the land together. There is a large wasteland not far away, but there is a gap between Originally, she planned to discuss with the folks here to see if she could buy it, but when she thought that everyone planned to plant cotton next year, they would definitely not sell this land, so she mentioned it herself, for the sake of the folks in the village. Son, it's hard to refuse, I'm afraid there will be ideas in my heart!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaocao gave up this plan and decided to buy the area not far away, which is about [-] acres!
