Reborn as a village girl in ancient times

Chapter 40
"Father and mother, I met Zhang Tietou on the road, so I asked them to come over for dinner." The elder brother stammered, but fortunately, the father and mother just thought that the elder brother might be embarrassed to suddenly take someone home for dinner without saying a word. , and gave a comforting meal, saying that he would have more contacts.

"Come on, you guys, hurry up and wash your hands and eat, we'll wait for you." My mother had already brought water to the door.After washing my hands and going to the table, I found that the food on the table was hardly touched. It seems that the idiot still knows to wait for us, so I couldn't help but gave the idiot a sensible look, but the idiot basically didn't respond.I can't help but feel depressed.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, hurry up and come and eat." My mother warmly entertained this new guest, who was actually just a casual eater.

"Ma'am, you can just call me Tie Dan. Everyone here calls me that, and I'm used to it." The boy scratched his head and said to my mother.

"How can this be done? You are the son, the son." My mother stammered a little nervously.

"Auntie, I have lived in Lijia Village for more than a year. You call me Tiedan. My identity is now your brother Qiu's friend. Don't tell me you don't welcome me." The Tiedan said half-truthfully.

"Auntie, welcome, that iron egg, you can try this, it's made by my big girl, and it's still delivered to the restaurant, eat it quickly."

This Zhang Tiedan ate and drank such a meal at our house, and he didn't mention the matter of my younger siblings, but it was also because this meal was dependent on me, and he always threatened us. If it’s not ready, send it to his house, then my brother and I have discussed it for a long time and decided to let him come to my house to eat. If he has been embarrassed to bother us, there is nothing wrong with it, anyway, my family does not lack these things now.

While studying the method of making isatis root into granules with the idiot, he had to deal with that difficult Zhang Tiedan, and occasionally went to the field with his mother and brother to weed, and he was very busy every day.The corn and peanuts in our family are really growing well, and God is also very generous. The rain has always been timely. It seems that this autumn we will have a big harvest.I'm also planning to fry peanuts at the end of the year and sell them for myself, so I can earn a little money.

My mother and I have already established a private school for my elder brother and younger brother through Dr. Lin's introduction, and we will go to study after the autumn harvest.In the past month or so, I have received another 30 taels of silver from the restaurant. So far, my wish to open a small workshop is finally coming true. Anyway, my brother and younger brother are going to study, and my father’s legs will be fine in September. Yes, our family rents a house in the town and runs a small workshop. The income should be good.

After hundreds of trials we finally came up with the rudimentary version of Banlangen granules that we have made.I plan to use the money in my hands to buy some more sandy land, and I have asked Grandma Seven to help our family find out who sells the land.

On this day, Grandma Seven came to my house and talked about the sale of land by Mr. Li’s family in our village. She said that Mr. Li’s son had lost dozens of pieces of silver in gambling and was anxious to sell the land to pay back the money. Send it to the Yamen.The ancient people's understanding of yamen is a place that eats people and doesn't spit out their bones. Once you go in, you can't get out easily, so most people are still afraid of the word yamen.

"My second son, I heard that the sandy land costs one or two taels of silver, but the [-] mu of land is only sold if you want all of it, or they will sell it for one and a half taels of silver per mu." Seven When my grandma saw that my family was buying land, she tried her best to inquire about it.

"For the second family, if you all come down, we will use this method to calculate the leftover money, or two mu of land will cost three taels of silver, which is not worthwhile." Grandma Qi was afraid that our family had no money, and If it is not worthwhile to buy land, please lend us money immediately.

"Seventh Aunt, our family is headed by a big girl, let's see what she says." My mother didn't treat Seventh Grandma as an outsider, and directly said that our family's financial power is in my hands.

"Big girl, look at Grandma Seven, what I said, there is no money that my family can take out." Grandma Seven couldn't help being suspicious when she saw that I was a little girl in charge of the family.

"Grandma, we want all the [-] acres of land, but we have to go to the county government to go through the formalities to get the contract, you see..."

"Big girl, it costs a lot of money to get a contract. The land of the folks in the village is theirs, so you can run away." Grandma Seven persuaded me when she saw that I was going to the yamen to sign the contract.

"Grandma Seven, I know that you are doing it for our own good, but didn't you say that his son gambled? If there is any trouble in the future, our family will not be able to handle it." I told Grandma Seven that I wanted to She knows that we understand her kindness, but I still believe that this written in black and white is legally valid.

"Big girl, I have to go and talk about it. If you don't tell me, I really haven't remembered it." Grandma Qi hurriedly got up and walked out.

"Grandma Seven, when you come, chat with my mother for a while, don't worry about it for a while." Seeing Grandma Seven in a hurry, I said aloud.

"It's okay, I'll ask and I'm relieved." Said Grandma Seven had already left the door and went outside.

"Does the girl really want that contract?" My mother was also a little skeptical, so she bought a piece of paper back with money.

"Of course, that's the yamen's recognition of me in this prefecture. You can go to the yamen if you have any evidence in the future. They will uphold justice." good way.

"Then let's do it. It's good to spend some money, and you can buy it with peace of mind." My mother quickly agreed when she saw what I said was serious.

"Mother, you see that our family will get better and better in the future, and everything must be well-behaved so that we can have more property in the future. Think about it, we may be big landlords in the future." I gave me in advance. Mother talked about the future.

"Yes, our family will be a big landlord in the future, and we can have a lot of land. The child's father, look how your child can talk." My mother didn't take my words seriously at all.

"Our daughter should be considerate." My father still proudly showed off to my mother, I was really speechless.

Dad, how are you feeling now?The idiot and I have already finished our work, and the rest can only be done next year, you see..."

"That's right, Ruochen has lived with us for a long time, so he should go home. Let Ruochen look at my legs in a while, and let him go back in a few days." My father nodded.

"Father, why don't we invite Dr. Lin and Mrs. Lin to have a meal?" After keeping people busy for so long, we should invite them to dinner, and tell Dr. Lin what the idiot and I have achieved.

"That's fine, your mother is here too, you two, mother and daughter, have a good discussion, if you invite him to dinner, you should buy some good ones, Ruochen will help you with that every day." He asked us, mother and daughter, to be honest, but the idiot has been working hard in my house.
