The price given by Dong Xiaoman is very real, but in fact, it can't be said that it is cheaper than others. Two stones of fine grain, three stones of fine grain can be exchanged for one acre of land, and when the exchange is made, you can sign a clause as a tenant farmer here. The Zhou family, the rich man, did the same, but the tenant farmer and the rich man were divided into three or seven, and the tenant farmer had to bear all taxes and other expenses.

Dong Xiaoman is a kind-hearted person, and she is unwilling to kill all of them to do the things that fall into the ground. Although she is also divided into three or seven, it is she who pays the taxes and provides the seeds.

In this way, if a certain family has four people and six acres of land, according to the requirement of two stone millets per year at that time. Dong Xiaoman is responsible for the tax of eight stones, according to the average output, one thousand catties per mu is about eight stones, so Dong Xiaoman is much better than the rich man Zhou. Six acres of land is more than 50 stones, Dong Xiaoman is 35 stones, and 8 stones are the income of 20 stones. And whether the tenant has a good harvest or no harvest, he can always get fifteen stone of grain every year.

So when Dong Xiaogang released the news, many people came to visit. Dong Xiaogang's family is from the mountains, and there is no higher-level competent department, so the office is set in his sister's house.

Many people in the village are also familiar with Dong Xiaogang, but they didn't expect Erlang's brother-in-law to be a small rich man. I heard that Dong Xiaogang has a relative who is the owner of a grain store, so he has long felt that the price of grain is going to rise, and he has already stocked up on grain, so he doesn't think it's strange.

Seeing that Dong Xiaogang, who he had looked down on in the past, had become a rich man in an instant, Li felt very uncomfortable, and complained in his heart that he didn't have a good relative.

Liu Shi looked at the red head. I was also very envious in my heart, wondering if I could make a fortune by buying some food by myself?

Thinking of this, Liu suddenly remembered that before Erlang left, he had asked his father-in-law and Dalang to buy more food and hoard it at home, that is, he said that this family has a large population, and this year's harvest is not good, so he is prepared. Could it be that Erlang already had a side mind at that time, and his family hoarded food, not to mention.

Ryu told Daro his idea. Da Lang also felt reasonable: it stands to reason that the Dong family has such a relative, and it is impossible not to tell Erlang. But Erlang didn't say it, wouldn't that not let the family make money?

Da Lang snorted angrily and complained to his parents. In and out of his words, it is revealed that Erlang has long hidden his selfish words. Old Man Zhang doesn't care, he is actually still an honest man in essence, with the mentality that he can't eat well and starve, and he is more than enough.

Mrs. Zhang was the most afraid that her son would not kiss her, and she scolded the Dong family for not caring for her relatives. San Lang felt annoyed and said, "Even if the second brother knows the Tao, even if he tells you, you will believe it at that time?" ”

Da Lang said: "As long as he says it, we will buy it even if we borrow money." ”

San Lang sneered: "Is the second brother an immortal?" He can know that the grain will definitely rise? When the second brother planted cabbage last year, what did you say? But later, the second brother sold the cabbage so well, didn't you also have red eyes? ”

Da Lang glanced at him unconvinced and said, "What do you know, if he says that it was Boss Guo who showed us the way, we will believe it." ”

San Lang said disdainfully: "With your people, if there is no price increase this year." You are going to complain about the death of the second brother. When the time comes, I don't know how to make trouble, I advise you to do it yourself, and don't do that shameless thing. Don't you think it's enough to lose face, huh. ”

Looking at San Lang who was gone, Da Lang's face turned purple, and he pointed out to his parents and said, "Look at it, even San Lang doesn't take me in his eyes now." I, the big brother, have less and less status. ”

Old Man Zhang was also a little touched when he heard San Lang's words, and he was unwilling to deal with his eldest son's virtue. Stretched out his legs and walked away. The people who left a room wide of people stared.

In fact, there are many people who hoard grain for land, not only Dong Xiaoman. The old people in the village were also afraid that there would not be enough food at home, so they would sell some food as their usual expenses after calculating, and keep the rest.

At this time, land became cheaper, and of course, exchanging grain for land has been a good thing since ancient times. That's the foundation of your business.

Mr. Zhang has never touched Saburo's industry much, so the food at home is quite abundant. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang exchanged four loads of fine grain for two acres of land for San Lang, Da Lang's heart was itching. But he knew that thing belonged to Saburo, and he could only watch it himself.

Da Lang's family actually has a lot of food, but he asked for the shop from Dong Xiaoman's hands. He transported all the grain to the city, and then he was too lazy to bring it back and sold it for money.

Now Da Lang has silver in his hand, but there is not much food, looking at the sky-high price of grain and the outrageously cheap fields, Da Lang's regretful intestines are cleared.

Dong Xiaogang also hoarded a lot of food by himself, although it was not as exaggerated as Dong Xiaoman, he also had more than 20 acres of land. And Dong Xiaoman has more, that is, more than 100 acres of land, which can be regarded as a small rich peasant.

"Sister, aren't you rich, why don't you buy some fields?" Dong Xiaogang looked at the people who came one after another, because there was no food to exchange, and he could only leave with his head down.

"Enough is enough, I don't want to be too ostentatious just yet. I can't afford to be rich, but I can't afford to be rich. Dong Xiaoman laughed, in fact, she was reluctant to use the money in her hand.

There are also two children, no one knows what the future will look like, and Erlang has no news now, and she is becoming more and more assertive in her heart.

The Zhou family originally thought that Dong Xiaogang was a fierce rival, but they didn't expect that he would just change more than a hundred acres of land and be silent. is still laughing at home that the Dong family is a small family, and they are too timid to be bullied to death by tenant farmers in the future.

Without such a rich rival as the Dong family, the Zhou family adjusted the conditions more harshly. The original 37 points have been changed to 28 points, and many families are forced to sell their sons and daughters in exchange for food.

Dong Xiaoman has found that there are many children with branches in the city in the past few days, and the time has come for the poor family to have no food to eat and sell their children. Looking at the fat-headed and big-eared pervert touching and pinching, the little girl who pinched and cried and laughed, Dong Xiaoman was sick to his stomach for a while.

When is it a girl's life, Dong Xiaoman admires Dong's father and mother even more. It is not easy to feed a stupid daughter, and it is not something that ordinary people can do to support themselves now.

"Sister, sister, help me. Help me, please. A child ran over and hugged Dong Xiaoman's waist, and suddenly knelt down and startled her.

A thin woman jumped over and slapped her with a branch in her hand: "What are you running, I am your mother, where do you want to run?" ”

The child hid behind Dong Xiaoman and was crying, and the more the woman scolded, the more ruthless he became. Dong Xiaoman understood that the woman was her biological mother, and because there was no food at home, she had to sell the child to change the bowl of porridge for her younger brother.

The child also had several older sisters, all of whom were sold by her mother.

"Hmph, Siya, if you are as handsome as your second sister, I can sell it for a good price. Tell me about you, the sharp-billed monkey's gills don't have a flesh or two. That mother bought you and you were also a maid, and you didn't have your third sister's good fortune to be a fire girl in a big family. Now that I have sold you on the street, you will not have to worry about the people who are destined to give you fragrant food and spicy drinks. What else are you running? ”

The woman scolded hard, and the child cried hard. The girl howled, but the woman who refused to get angry whipped the child hard. The clothes were already worn out by the branches, and they were torn, revealing bloody wounds.

Dong Xiaoman's heart softened again, thinking that it was a bowl of rice anyway, and this child could help him watch the two children pitifully.

Dong Xiaoman asked, "How much is your daughter going to want?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, put down the branch in her hand and smiled: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's just a bag of grain." ”

Dong Xiaoman frowned and said, "How much is that, do you say a quasi?" ”

The woman looked at Dong Xiaoman as if she could call the shots, and immediately said: "Fifty catties of corn is enough, we have many children, but this child has been working since he was a child, and his temperament is still boring." ”

The child cried and hugged Dong Xiaoman and said, "Sister, don't buy me." You're a good person, my mother lied to you. You buy me, and in a few days she will look for me and sell me to someone else. ”

The woman was anxious and grinned, "Little slut, what nonsense are you talking about? Where would I do that immoral thing, why should I still wronged your mother? ”

After speaking, he smiled and said: "This child is filial and doesn't want to leave home, so he just talks nonsense." If you like her, even thirty pounds of corn is fine. ”

Dong Xiaoman lowered his body and looked at the kid fixedly, "I'll only ask you once, do you want to go with me." I have two very young children at home, and I don't have any heavy work. But you can't run away secretly, you can go with me if you want, and I don't mind if you don't. ”

The boy blinked his eyes and pouted, "But, but, my mother." ”

The woman was just about to speak, but Dong Xiaoman glared at her, startling the woman into silence. Dong Xiaoman asked: "I only ask if you are willing to go with me, if you are willing, your mother will not be able to take you away." I'm not a fool, I let people cheat people out of dozens of catties of grain for nothing. ”

The boy nodded and said, "I do." ”

Dong Xiaoman gave Xiaohu a look, and Xiaohu took a bag of chestnuts after a while.

The woman was just about to take it, Xiaohu took the bag and smiled at the woman: "Wait, we have to write the documents and go to the yamen to sign." The woman smiled dryly, "That's troublesome, I'm a real person who won't lie to you, so be it." ”

Xiaohu stretched out his finger and shook it at the woman, "No, I have seventy catties of corn here." If you don't want to, we can buy someone else, and I think in a few years, these seventy pounds can buy two people. ”

When the woman saw that the grain had already glowed green, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." I will treat this girl as if I never gave birth to her, and it will be yours in the future. ”
