The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 74 Buying Land
Li Yin stared at Xu Yuan with a complicated expression, and slowly uttered two words, "I don't understand".

Xu Yuan's medical idiot attribute is fully activated, and suddenly she is covered with a basin of cold water. This person has been teasing her?

"But I can..."

"Girl, are you home?" Mrs. Gu stood at the door, her slightly fat body looked very heavy, and there were only narrow gaps on both sides of the fence door.

Seeing Xu Yuan, he quickly smiled and clapped his hands, "I came to see you yesterday, and after running twice, there was no one at home."

This fat woman has a good temper, she does things quickly and simply, and her character is not like those village women who are prone to making trouble for no reason. Xu Yuan still likes her very much.

He glanced at Li Yin strangely, there is someone at home.She smiled and welcomed the person in, "Sister-in-law Gu, come in and sit down. I went to the mountain to collect medicine yesterday and you are not at home. Do you have anything to do?"

Mrs. Gu sat down, rubbed her hands and smiled sheepishly, "Girl, I won't beat around the bush with you, it's annoying. I just came to ask, do you still need land?"

"Hey, I'm not going to hide it from you, blame me for talking too much, I told you about selling grain at a low price in front of the big guy, God won't give you a way to survive, and there have been famines for years... This, hey!"

Originally, he wanted to buy food from her, but even so, Mrs. Gu shouldn't be in such a difficult situation. Could there be any inside story?Xu Yuan rubbed her chin, not intending to change the topic.

He called Wanwan who was walking on horseback, and asked her to fetch some food to entertain Mrs. Gu, while she asked about the field.

In autumn, the crops grow fast, and it will be winter within two months after harvesting the grain. Counting the days in this way, the craftsmen and materials on the shopkeeper's side should be almost ready, and it must come within two days.

Mrs. Gu was in a hurry to report, "I said you are a girl, you have courage, since you got rid of those wicked women, these boys don't know how serious they are in their work, I'm afraid that if they don't do well, you don't want them to do it. "

Xu Yuan only started to talk, but Mrs. Gu talked non-stop. The honest man with a rough tongue became anxious and praised Xu Yuan like no other.

"...That's the way it is. I also think it's not good. It's not easy for you as a girl. If you sell us grain at such a low price, you won't be in a good position at all."

"Auntie, I'll give you candy"

Wanwan stood on tiptoe, holding a piece of candy in her hand to deliver to Mrs. Gu's mouth. After a meal, Mrs. Gu smiled and stroked the child's hair, "Be good, Wanwan, eat by yourself."

It looked like he was playing with a child, but in fact his eyes never moved away from Xu Yuan's face, and he kept observing Xu Yuan's expression.

Being rejected all the time, Wanwan finally gave up asking her aunt to eat candies, and ran back to Xu Yuan's side, looking at her mother hesitantly, her aunt said adults don't eat candies, so does mother eat it or not?

Amusingly, he picked up a piece of candy and put it in his mouth, and fed Wanwan a piece of meat, but Mrs. Gu glanced eagerly at the plate.

Smiling softly in his heart, he sighed, "Sister Gu, it's nothing. If you sell the land to me, the food you harvest will be mine. I won't suffer any losses. But you guys, do you really want to sell the land?"

"I know that the land has been passed down from generation to generation, so many beads of sweat and blood have been smashed in it, but what if you don't want to, life has to go on."

Aunt Gu wiped her tears, and smiled at Xu Yuan embarrassedly, the atmosphere was a little silent.

"Well?"

Mrs. Gu's eyes widened suddenly, but she saw that Wanwan suddenly stuffed a candy into her mouth while the adults were not paying attention, and quickly slipped back to Xu Yuan's side with a smirk.

The sugar melted in the mouth, it was sweet, and flowed down the throat directly into the stomach, because a lot of hawthorn juice was added in it, which was sour and sweet, and immediately made people stop drinking.

Wanwan glanced at Xu Yuan, quite proud, she just said, how can no one like candy, adults always lie to children, her father is like this.

Xu Yuan packed all the remaining candies in oiled paper and stuffed them into Mrs. Gu's hand, but the honest woman quickly pushed back because she was willing to take it.

"Just take it. I made it myself. It's not worth a lot of money. Take it back and share it with the children."

Her eyes were red. Indeed, it had been a long time since her little grandchildren had eaten candy. For more than a year, they hadn't even seen a candy scum in the family.

"Then I'll accept it with the cheek... As for the matter of the land, girl, don't be embarrassed. If it doesn't work, I will tell everyone clearly. Everyone understands. No one owes anyone, let alone you have already helped us. less busy."

Xu Yuan patted Mrs. Gu on the shoulder, and said with a slow smile, "Let everyone come over this afternoon and report the number to me, and register with me with the land deed."

"But it's agreed in advance, and we can't go back on it when the grain is harvested." Xu Yuan's tone was very serious. She could help, but she would never allow anyone to slyly deny it.

"well"

Mrs. Gu kept nodding her head, saying what she should do, she suddenly grabbed Xu Yuan's arm, and exclaimed, "What!"

Is this a promise?
After finally appeasing the excited Mrs. Gu, Xu Yuan went to find Xu Chi after cooking a meal in a hurry. The food had to be prepared in advance, and the food must be given in the afternoon.

Time was running short, and all the cellars on Xu's father's side were taken out, and Xu Yuan's side was included, so they could buy almost ten acres of land.

"not enough!"

Xu Chi frowned. After tossing for a long time, he still hadn't figured out what his sister was going to do.

"The craftsman who built the house has arrived? Or are you short of money again? How do you move all the food out to do something, and there are no insects or moisture."

By the way, I almost forgot that her space also produced some of its own food, which was originally intended to be kept for emergency use, but forget it, the new food should come down anyway.

He loosened his brows, and then told Xu Chi about the matter.Mother Xu didn't know when she appeared, she heard the whole story clearly, and immediately objected: "No!"

"Yuanyuan, you have opened up so much wasteland, are you short of ten or twenty acres? Why are you so troublesome, girl?"

Xu Yuan had a big embarrassing face, she didn't know how to reason with Xu's mother, the two of them could only stand so stiffly.

"Mother!" Xu Chi spoke quickly, and Xu's mother glared at him and scolded, "Don't talk to her."

Forget it, it's worth it if you bite the bullet.Xu Yuan whispered softly, with a hint of pleading, but she saw Xu's mother's face became more cold and hard, and she was completely lost at the moment.

But seeing Xu Chi supporting Xu's mother, he winked at himself, telling her to go first and leave this side alone.

"Well, I've already made an agreement with Mrs. Gu, I'll go there first."

Taking two steps back as if running away, he took a deep breath and suddenly turned back to Xu's mother, "I won't let the family run out of food!"

Xu's mother was obviously taken aback, sighed and slapped her son's hand away from her, muttering and explaining, "Who am I for? She's messing around, why don't you follow her, don't you know that the money is not exposed?" !"

What's more, in times of famine, food is much more precious than silver.

Xu Chihan smiled and apologized, "My son will stay with me the whole time, so no one will make trouble."
