Zhao Sanniang suddenly asked, "Grandpa Lizheng, has anyone in our village wanted to buy land recently?" Our family wants to get rid of the four acres of land as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Siniang was surprised: on the way here, she proposed to sell the land, but the family disagreed, saying that the land is the foundation of the peasant, and it must not be sold unless it is absolutely necessary, and in the end she had to give up. She remembered that Zhao Sanniang was also resolutely opposed at that time, why did she agree with it again now?

However, Zhao Siniang always believes that selling the land in Zhaojia Village can reduce a lot of trouble. Therefore, she hurriedly stopped Zhao Yongzhong and asked him not to speak out against it for the time being.

Li Zheng said earnestly: "Yongzhong, I know that your family is having a hard time, but this land is the foundation of our villagers, how can you say that you can sell it?" Have you discussed this with your family? Although you have divided it, you have to discuss the big matter of selling the land with your father and them before you can decide whether to sell it or not! ”

Zhao Yongzhong stammered: "This land sale, uh, actually ......"

"Grandpa Lizheng, there are some things that my father really can't say, only I, as a daughter, said it on my behalf. We really didn't discuss the land sale with our family, not for anything else, just because we knew that our father had a good face, and we would definitely not agree. But this land is really not for sale! Our master said that the family didn't have any money, and the foreign debt of the five yuan could only be repaid for us if Brother Da Lang was admitted to the imperial examination, so the promised silver money was not given to us a penny. But we can wait, people who ask for debts refuse to wait! On the night of the separation, we couldn't sleep all night, and in the end we couldn't do anything, so we went to Jiangjiatan to ask my grandfather for help. Although the money is now made up, but our grandfather's family wants to live, and we have to live, but in addition to the 500 moving money given by the family, there are only four acres of land left. We're really desperate, so we'll fight its idea. Grandpa Lizheng, you can help our family! Zhao Sanniang pleaded.

Only then did Zhao Siniang understand that her second sister didn't necessarily really want to sell the land, but she definitely came to sue. I secretly praised in my heart: Nine points are true and one point is false, second sister, your ability to lie is really first-class!

Li Zheng and the village elders listened to it, and they all felt that this Zhao Zhengping's family was doing one thing in front of the other and behind the scenes, and what they did was really not authentic! Thinking of Zhao Qiao's crying at the door of his house in the past few days, saying that Zhao Yongzhong's family had escaped overnight, leaving the old couple to give them a top tank, and they wanted to completely cut off relations with Zhao Yongzhong's family, they all frowned - acting backwards, full of nonsense, completely trying to force their children and grandchildren to death!

Li Zheng was indignant and said categorically: "You don't have to sell this land, and you don't have to worry about the house!" And this money, I will make the decision for you, and let your master give it to you as soon as possible! You live in peace in Zhaojia Village! ”

Zhao Sanniang sighed in her heart, did she act too much just now? She just wanted to expose the evil deeds of the old Zhao family, and she never had the luxury of expecting Rang Li Zheng to help them uphold justice. She understands Li Zheng's kindness, but she is not happy to stay in Zhaojia Village if she is killed!

Zhao Sanlang smiled: "To be honest, the family is divided into this, we are not uncomfortable in our hearts." But as juniors, we have to try our best to meet the wishes of the elderly, and our grandfather's greatest wish is to let Brother Da Lang be admitted to the imperial examination. For this wish, we have been silently paying for more than ten years, and this time it is nothing to sacrifice a little more in the separation of the family. Grandpa Lizheng, I know that you are fair and love us, but we don't want to embarrass our grandparents, and we want them to get their wish as soon as possible. So we still don't want that house, as for the five money, alas, I just hope that Brother Da Lang can be admitted as soon as possible! ”

Li Zheng lowered his head and muttered for a while, and asked worriedly: "You don't want a house, and you don't have any money left, it seems that you really have to sell land." But if you sell the land, what do you live on? Speaking of this, Li Zheng paused and suggested, "I think I should sell two acres, right?" Two acres of land is enough for you to pay off your debts and build a house. Although the remaining two acres of land are not much, your family is a diligent person, and with the help of the villagers, you can make do with life. This is much better than you selling your land and going to Jiangjiatan! You know, Jiangjiatan is a poor place, but it is much more difficult to live than our Zhaojia Village! ”

Zhao Sanlang smiled and declined: "Grandpa Lizheng, we understand your kindness." You also said that counting on those two acres of land, although our family will not starve to death, it will be very difficult to live in the future. It's so difficult to hang and vertical, it's better to sell the land, take the money from the sale of land to go to Jiangjiatan Wharf to open a shop, and break out of the way. ”

Li Zheng's face was full of incredulity, he looked sideways at Zhao Yongzhong, who was honest, and asked, "Yongzhong, you also want to learn from others to open shops and do business?" ”

Zhao Yongzhong couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his children, and he was stunned when he listened to it next to him, and was a little dizzy by their true and false statements. At this moment, he suddenly heard Li Zheng ask him about the shop, and he replied without thinking: "Yes, our family and my father-in-law's family have partnered to open a shop on the dock." ”

Zhao Siniang hurriedly added: "I just built a simple straw hut on the wharf, boiled some hot soup or something and sold it to the coolies on the wharf." Because our family's hot soup sells for a penny and a bowl, the coolies are willing to come and have a show, and the business is quite passable. So we thought that this business was still profitable, so we simply spent some money to repair the straw shed and do it for a long time. ”

After that, Zhao Siniang asked her family proudly: "You weren't happy when I proposed to sell hot soup!" At this time, I don't think this shop is wrong, right? ”

When Zhao Yongzhong's family heard this, they all smiled and nodded, looking satisfied.

Li Zheng thought in their hearts, the people who went to work as coolies on the docks were poor people who couldn't live a few days, how much money could they make from them? I'm afraid that this business is only enough to make ends meet, right?

Seeing that they insisted on doing this business, Li Zheng sighed and asked, "Yongzhong, how are you going to sell your family's four acres of land?" It just so happens that I am planning to buy another piece of land recently, so I will buy your house! ”

It is true that the Li Zheng family owns the most land in Zhaojia Village, and not only that, but their family also has a lot of land in several nearby villages. But their family's land is not close to the four acres of land that Zhao Yongzhong was allocated at all, and he really plans to buy the land and will not buy such a piece of it, he said this completely to help Zhao Yongzhong.

"How is this possible? I ......" Zhao Yongzhong looked embarrassed. Don't say that Zhao Yongzhong didn't plan to sell the land, even if he wanted to sell it, he couldn't sell it to the Li Zheng family! Isn't that a nuisance?

Zhao Sanniang secretly regretted in her heart that she was not cautious enough to speak, so that some of the land had to be sold. She had no choice but to say: "Grandpa Lizheng, although our family is in a hurry to use the money, we can't make trouble for you." Or take your time to find the buyer......"

Li Zheng shook his hand and said: "It's not troublesome, anyway, our family is a hired tenant, just take one or two people from it to take care of it." ”

Zhao Siniang hurriedly persuaded along the water: "Dad, Grandpa Lizheng is helping us like this, don't be reluctant!" Let's sell that piece of land to Grandpa Lizheng cheaper! ”

The Jiang family and the others on the side were once again disgusted by Zhao Qiao's behavior, and seeing Zhao Siniang so insistent at this time, they thought about it and sold the land as soon as possible, if they kept the adjacent field, God knows what moths would come out in the future. So they persuaded Zhao Yongzhong to agree.

Zhao Yongzhong is not stupid, he knows that it was his father's actions that once again chilled the hearts of his family, so they changed their minds to sell the land, so they nodded and agreed.

However, Zhao Yongzhong had never been in contact with land trading, and he was in a difficult position at what price to pay, so he had to say: "Uncle Justice, you should watch and give!" This one...... I really don't understand. ”

Li Zheng secretly sighed: What an honest man, no wonder he was bullied to death by Zhao Zhengping and them!

Li Zheng was still very fair, and said: "Your family's land is a high-quality field, and it should be sold for five taels of silver per acre." In addition, there are still wheat seedlings planted in the field, and I know that your family is in a hurry to use the money, so I will not wait for the wheat to be harvested and handed over to the field to pay. ”

Zhao Yongzhong hurriedly said: "This can't be helped! Our family is in a hurry to sell, Uncle Justice, you are willing to count the land money to our family, we are grateful, this seedling money can never be collected!

After some mutual resignation, the two sides negotiated, and the four acres of land were sold at the price of twenty taels of silver, and Mai Miao Qian symbolically gave four hundred yuan.

As for the title deed, at the request of Zhao Siniang, Zhao Yongzhong has been carrying it with him, and at this time he directly took it out and handed it to Li Zheng. It happened that several village elders were also there, and under their witness, a new land deed document was re-established, and Li Zheng planned to send this document to the official office to go through the formal transfer procedures later.

In fact, the land purchase and sale between the people of the same village, under the witness of Li Zheng and the villagers, the document is completed, and there is no need to go to the official office for the record. It's just that now Li is suspicious of Old Man Zhao's character, and in order to avoid possible troubles in the future, he decided to spend a few more money and exchange this civil deed for an official deed.
