Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 69 Buying Land
Ye Yuan went to invite the head of the village today to help measure the land so that the matter of buying the land can be finalized.

Liu Man'er originally thought of building a house on the original foundation and expanding the homestead, but because the village chief said that their piece belonged to the homestead, and it cost three taels of silver per mu, Liu Man'er gave up this idea.

After discussing with Fang's, Liu Man'er decided to buy the wasteland at the end of the village. The wasteland only cost one tael per mu, and the price difference was three times.

Although Fang was a bit reluctant, Liu Man'er listed many benefits of rebuilding the house, and made a detailed calculation with Fang, and Fang finally figured it out.

"Even if this old house is put here in the future, it doesn't mean that it doesn't belong to us anymore." Liu Man'er reassured: "This house is still ours, we can come back and live in it whenever we want."

Fang Shi also nodded, she is not reluctant to part with this house, but just a nostalgic person.

However, Liu Man'er has another consideration. She has built a new house, and she will be in charge of the new house from now on. If she builds an old house, if Ye Qing gets married and occasionally has conflicts with herself, if It's not good to start talking about the house.

Although she may be thinking too much, who can say what will happen after this, it is better to build a new house, this is built by her hands, and the land was bought by her and Ye Yuan, in the future Ye Yuan's brothers will be It's grown up, and there's nothing to say.

The head of the village heard Liu Man'er say that he decided to buy the wasteland, and the smile on his face became more. This wasteland is unowned land, and it is usually difficult to sell it, but some homesteads are bought by people, and the wasteland is sold. It is also his achievement.

Ye Yuan asked Liu Man'er how many acres of wasteland he wanted to buy, and Liu Man'er thought more about it, so he just bought ten acres.

Ten mu of land is used to build a house. One can imagine how high-standard this house is. Even the Wang landlords in the nearby villages do not have such a big house.

But Liu Man'er bought these lands not because of other reasons, but because it was cheap. She thought that she could fence it up first, and then slowly develop it, plant trees, raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. As for the residential area, it must be half an acre. Can't use it.

Ten mu of land is only ten taels of silver. Liu Man'er really felt that she had made a lot of money. When the head of the village measured the area and marked it with stones, she became inexplicably excited. Her goal was to be a leisurely landlady. Of course, it is necessary to hoard a lot of land.

She can't wait to let the chief go to the county office today to help get the land deed down, but it's too late at this time, even if she has this idea, she can only keep it in her heart.

At noon, the head of the village and some respected witnesses in the village were invited to have dinner. In the afternoon, Liu Man'er went to visit the wasteland at the end of the village.

Ye Yuan's current home is already at the end of the village, and the wasteland is not far from this house. Liu Man'er took Fang Shi to see it together, she happily pointed to this large piece of land and said to Fang Shi: " Mother, look, these lands are all ours, and when the time comes we will build a big yard, where we can raise chickens and ducks, and grow vegetables and flowers."

Fang's face also showed a smile. They are all ordinary peasants. They have a natural love for this land. Although it is a wasteland, it is their own anyway, and they are happy when they look at it: "Yes, you are the best, let's take a look. I just bought ten acres."

Liu Man'er also laughed. She lived in later generations, and the land was so expensive back then, so she was even more obsessed with land.

In fact, there is nothing attractive about this wasteland, it is all grass, but in her eyes, it has become the leisurely rural scenery she imagined.

When they went back, they met some villagers, and they all congratulated Fang, but after they walked forward, Liu Man'er clearly heard these people scolding her behind her back:

"The Ye family has become stupid now that they are together with this stupid woman. If they have money, they don't buy two acres of good land, but they treat the wasteland that others don't want as a treasure."

"Hmph, we just like wasteland. Why, when I have money, I will buy all this wasteland. Then I won't allow you to step on it." Liu Man'er thought arrogantly.

Of course, these people are just talking behind their backs. They can’t even afford to buy wasteland. Sometimes it’s not a good thing to have sharp ears, that is, you can always hear people talking bad things about you behind your back.

But after hearing a lot, I don't care anymore. When my house is built, I will see who is stupid.

The next day the head of the village helped to get the land deed down. Liu Maner held the land deed in her hand and was very excited. After all, this was the first piece of land she bought after she came to ancient times. It was really exciting. It was far from her local area. The Lord is one step closer.

After scrutinizing her for a long time, Liu Man'er showed her to the Fang family again. The whole family had read the land deed carefully, and then the Fang family handed the land deed to Liu Man'er, and said, "I don't want to look at it, and I won't see anything if I look at it again." Here come the flowers, Man'er, put them away."

Liu Man'er took the land deed, and put it away without hesitation. Now she asked Ye Yuan to help make a small box with a lock, which is specially used to store the property she is responsible for keeping. This land deed, she carefully put away It goes into the box.

"Little money fan." Seeing Liu Man'er's cautious expression, Ye Yuan laughed at her.

Liu Man'er didn't care either, she locked the box and put it in the dilapidated cabinet as before, and said, "You just know now, my goal is to be a landlord, which landlord doesn't love money? And you, as the landlord's husband, What do you think you should do?"

"I don't know, please tell the landlord." Ye Yuan stood up straight and bowed solemnly.

"Okay, you go and cut the grass this afternoon." Liu Man'er also ordered in a deep voice.

"Going back to the landlord, one afternoon is not enough." Ye Yuan said.

"Not enough, then I don't care, you don't have to bargain, you have to figure out a way." Liu Man'er poked her head in front of Ye Yuan, and said with a smile.

Originally, she wanted to be serious, but when she saw Ye Yuan's serious look, she wanted to laugh for no reason, and of course it failed in the end.

Seeing her face so close, Ye Yuan couldn't help but squeeze her waist. Liu Man'er was caught off guard for a moment, struggled twice, and raised her head and said, "What are you doing?"

Ye Yuan suddenly lowered his head, kissed her forehead lightly, his face turned a little crimson, as if realizing his inappropriate actions, Ye Yuan suddenly let her go, took two steps back, shook his head, and Reverted to seriousness: "It's okay."

"It's okay, why are you kissing me?" Liu Man'er walked two steps closer, Ye Yuan felt a little embarrassed, he turned and walked out of the house, and said to her: "I'm going to mow the grass, I'll be back at night."

"Wait a minute." Liu Man'er shouted behind him, "Ten acres of land, if you just cut it like this, how long will it take?"

"Take your time, it should be about 20 days." Ye Yuan stopped and replied.

"Then why bother?" Liu Man'er walked over and said to him: "Anyway, it's almost autumn, and then a fire can burn them all, so why bother. I'll let you mow the grass , I want you to cut a circle around our land, so that it will be convenient to set fire, and it will not burn to other places."

"Oh." Ye Yuan thoughtfully, then nodded again, "Alright, Man'er, you're smarter."

"Of course, go, be careful of snakes in the grass." Liu Man'er reminded.

"I know." Ye Yuan nodded, turned his head and waved at her, suddenly thought of something, went into the house, changed into a set of worn clothes, then picked up the scythe and went out.

During this period of time, there were quite a lot of things. The wasteland was almost taken care of just now. The peanuts and soybeans planted in the spring are slowly ripening, and there is still an acre of rice that is about to mature. It is the time of busy farming. Everyone They are all so busy with work that they don't even have time to rest.

Some time ago, Liu Man'er was either doing the work at hand, or going to the mountains with Ye Yuan, and going to the field. Since she was reborn here, she has never done it at all. She has never worked in the field before, but at this time, soybeans and peanuts are familiar. Now, she has to take them back, otherwise, with Ye Yuan and Fang alone, she doesn't know when she will do it.

The most important thing is that if you don't take it back quickly, the soybean pods will all fall into the ground when they open. Liu Man'er looks distressed, Fang and Ye Yuan are also very anxious, and even Ye He goes to the ground every day work.

However, during the busy farming season, the weather is the hottest. The increasingly hot weather makes Liu Man'er feel anxious. There is no air conditioner here, and there is not even a fan. Every day when Liu Man'er comes back from work, she just sits in the back She was so tired that she didn't even want to move.

Seeing her lazily sitting there, Ye Yuan fetched cold water from the well, filled a bowl of water, then added sugar and vinegar, stirred well, and made a bowl of sugar water to quench her thirst.

After she finished drinking, he sat beside her and fanned her.

"I really want to die." Tired and hot, Liu Man'er wanted to cry, she didn't even want to eat every day.

"Then don't go to the field this afternoon." Ye Yuan felt sorry for her, and said, "You can take a rest in the afternoon."

"What if I don't go? The rice will be ripe again. If you don't take it back soon, it will fall in the field." Although Liu Man'er has never been in the field, she still knows these basic things. Yes, some rice paddies in the village have fallen.

If you lie down in the field, not only will it be difficult to harvest, but the rice will slowly fall into the field, and a year of hard work will be in vain.

What's more, at this time, there are more sparrows. Although each household has set up scarecrows in the farmland, the effect is not great. Occasionally, Fang will order Ye He to chase the sparrows.

In fact, Liu Man'er thinks that she is so tired after all the hard work, it's not as good as going to the mountains to hunt rabbits to make more money, and it's not as good as the money she makes from making sachets.

But she didn't dare to say this, and she couldn't say it. After all, everyone was doing other things. Who would farm?What's more, although Fang is usually easy to talk to, she is very precious when it comes to food. During this time, she was also anxious to get angry, and she wanted to get back the food as soon as possible. The later she harvested, the more food would be wasted. I am too delicate.
