Chapter 461: Land
Uncle Gong Jian told his mother-in-law that although the land in the family looks a lot, his family has two sons after all, and in the future, the two sons will divide the family and divide the land, so there will not be much.
Besides, his husband and wife usually have nothing to do, and their sons are studying in private schools, and the eldest son has no news now, so the family has no income, and now they can only rely on the income of these lands to maintain the family's livelihood.
Although Aunt Gong Jian didn't think about this, she instinctively knew that it was the family that couldn't be moved at all. So after hearing what her youngest son said, her first reaction was to oppose it.
But before she finished her words, she was immediately intercepted by her youngest son, Gong Yaozu's eyes were firmly fixed, and Gong Jian's eyes were firmly fixed, and Gong Jian's eyes said word by word: "Mother." Don't you expect your son and me to become a big official? After your son becomes an official, not all of your son will be able to buy you back as many acres of land as you want. ”
Under her son's attentive gaze, Aunt Gong Jian couldn't help but follow his train of thought. That's right, now I saved my son's teacher who helped him a lot in the officialdom, and after her son becomes a big official in the future, what kind of land does she want?
So after thinking about it again and again, Aunt Gong Jian still nodded hesitantly. But she still struggled a little and said, "Son, there are only a few acres of land at home." How much is your husband's ransom for this time?"
Gong Jian's grandfather worked hard all his life and left twelve acres of land to his two sons. Five acres of paddy fields are the best fields. Also, the old palace family has served for several generations, and the annual harvest of five acres of land is praised in the village.
And when Uncle Gong Jian split up, he gave two of the most barren acres of land to Gong Jian's family. And those two acres of land were also sold when Gong Jian's father was seriously ill.
Now in the hands of Uncle Gong Jian, there are ten acres of land. The fields were rented by him, and the rest of the village cultivated them. Because the five acres of ancestral paddy fields have the best harvest, when Uncle Gong Jian released the news that he wanted to rent the land, many families in the village came to compete for the five acres of paddy fields.
Uncle Gong Jian is also a smart man, he has set a high rent for these five acres of paddy fields, and every year just these five acres of paddy fields can earn ten taels of silver for the family. This is the only income their family has now.
And part of the remaining five acres of land was rented out by Uncle Gong Jian to collect some food enough for the family to eat every year, and the other part of the rented land was to help their family work, including their dry firewood every winter.
Now for the Chinese New Year, the eldest aunt asked how much silver taels the younger son needed? I also wanted to know how many acres of land the younger son was planning to take.
Hearing his mother ask such a sentence, Gong Yaozu was silent for a moment, and he thought in his heart. According to his meaning, of course, it is the most suitable five acres of land to buy. After all, the field has a good harvest and can be sold for a good price.
In his mind, it was just that he didn't have any money on hand now, and when he sold the land and had the money to turn over, he would soon be able to make more money. When he has the money, it will be easy to buy back those few acres of land.
Besides, just like he told his mother just now, when he becomes a big official in the future, he will have as many fields as he wants. People can't be too short-sighted.
So he said bluntly: "Just five acres of land." He knew that when he mentioned the five acres of land, his mother knew what he meant.
As soon as she heard her youngest son mention the main income of the family, Aunt Gong Jian couldn't help but feel a pain in her flesh, and hesitated a little: "This, if you wait for your father to wake up, let's discuss it with him again." Those five acres of land, well, I really don't dare to sell it easily. ”
As soon as he heard her words, Gong Yaozu disagreed: "Mother, it's not that you don't know, my father is sleeping like a dead pig now." Who's going to wake him up now? I'm waiting for help. ”
Although she didn't want to listen to her youngest son and talk about his father like this, Aunt Gong Jian had to admit that after her man was drunk, it would be difficult to wake up today. Do you want to pour a bucket of cold water on him and pick him up? As soon as she imagined that scene, she quickly shook her head, she did not dare to bear the anger of her own man.
You must know that this man is angry and will not be angry with his precious son, but he will never spare her.
Seeing that his mother also knew that it was impossible to wake up his father, Gong Yaozu was proud for a while. He said that he had always been lucky, and see, even today, when he suddenly went home in such a hurry to get the money, he could also meet his father when he was drunk.
You must know that it is much easier to take money from his mother than it is to take money from his father. Every time he wanted to get money from his father, his father would pretend to be verbose for a long time, trying to study his homework.
It's a pity that his father doesn't understand anything, and the questions he asks, the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, and he doesn't know where he heard a few words, so he can come and ask him.
Fortunately, he said it nonsense, and his father didn't know if he was right or not. His father could only nod yes. But even so, Gong Yaozu didn't bother to deal with it, his father who didn't know how to pretend to understand, it was easiest to get things from his mother.
So he added another fire, "Ah mother, you can hurry up and get me the title deed." When I save my husband, he will naturally return the money to me. Wouldn't it be enough for me to take back the land then? Even if my father is sober now, he will agree with me, and this must be related to my future future. ”
As soon as she heard that this was related to her son's great future in the future, Aunt Gong Jian also hurriedly got up and wanted to get the title deed. Just as she was about to walk out of Gong Yaozu's room, she couldn't help but turn around again and discuss with her youngest son in a whisper.
"Yaozu, look at this. But five acres of land were sold, but a hundred taels of silver. Your husband can't need so much money, if you really sell all these five acres of land, I'm worried that your father will wake up tomorrow, and I won't be able to explain to him.
At that time, you were not at home, and your mother's bitter meal must be inevitable. Otherwise, you see that I will take two acres of land out, and you will sell the land first, rescue my husband, and then quickly redeem it, so that your father will not have any opinions. “
Gong Yaozu knew that his mother was still afraid. I'm afraid that if I don't get my husband back and then take back the land as I just said, then his father will definitely be furious.
