Chapter 105
"Uncle Ye wants to buy the entire slope, so naturally, he can. That slope has a total of thirty-nine acres and three points, except for the eight acres that Uncle Ye's family has bought, there are now thirty-one acres and three points left, if Uncle Ye is sure to buy them all, we will count it as thirty acres. One acre and two taels of silver, a total of sixty taels. Xie Hui took the calculation on the kang table and counted it cracklingly.
Hearing two taels of silver and one acre, Father Ye's brows couldn't help frowning.
The sloping land is barren slope land, and it is the most worthless barren slope land, and such land is at most one or two acres.
Xie Hui didn't understand or had other sayings, why did he ask him for two taels of silver per mu?
It's not that the Ye family can't afford to pay this money, but the Ye family can't be wronged, and the Ye family's money is not blown by the wind!
Father Ye glanced at the old village chief who was sitting on the kang and smoking, and saw that his old god was there, as if he hadn't heard the price Xie Hui offered, he knew that the village was afraid that they would buy the slope long ago, and this price was naturally negotiated a long time ago.
So Father Ye no longer speculated and entangled alone, but looked at Xie Hui lightly and said: "If I remember correctly, the highest selling price of such barren slope land is only one or two silver per mu, and the village chief is sure to sell it to me for two taels and one mu?" ”
One thing Daddy Ye guessed was right, the village did calculate that the Ye family would ask to buy the entire slope if they had money in their hands, but what he didn't know was that the old village chief and Xie Huang were no wonder about it.
This price was jointly set by the village elders when the village changed a few days ago, and this price was only for the Ye family.
When this matter was mentioned that day, their father and son were actually opposed, and they have been doing the work of the village elders these days, but they have not let the village elders relent.
The village elder of Hongfeng Village is actually the patriarch of the Xie clan, and this barren slope is the clan land of the Xie clan.
What price you want to sell, it's really up to the elders of the Xie clan to decide.
In the eyes of these clan elders, the Ye family was able to make a fortune because of the good feng shui of that slope, but they forgot that the slope land had been a wasteland in the hands of the Xie clan for generations before the Ye family settled in Hongfeng Village.
The old village chief still thought that the Ye family could bring the villagers to get rich together, but those old guys in the remote tribe were short-sighted, and they could only see the little benefits in front of them.
Some people even felt that the Ye family had occupied the Feng Shui treasure land of the Xie family, and wanted the Ye family to return the barren slope to the Xie family.
I don't know where they came from to say such things, and I don't want to think about how many generations this barren slope has been barren before the Ye family came!
Anyway, for as long as the old village chief can remember, it was a barren slope with weeds, and no one could grow anything there.
At this moment, in the face of Daddy Ye's questioning, whether it was the old village chief or Xie Hui, they all smiled bitterly.
Seeing that the two village chiefs were smiling bitterly at his interrogation, what else did Daddy Ye not understand in his heart?
I saw him take two puffs of cigarette fiercely, sighed and said, "I'm afraid this price is only for my Ye family, so forget it." ”
stood up and said goodbye to the two village chiefs Xie.
Xie Hui opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The clan elders decided on this price, not to mention that he was only the village chief of Hongfeng Village now, even if his father was the patriarch, he could not change the decision of the clan elders without authorization.
If the matter of buying land is not discussed, the cellar will naturally not be dug.
If the cellar can't be dug up, the wine can only continue to be stored in the utility room, and of course there is no extra house to store grain.
What worries Father Ye is that when the Xie clan learns that they will no longer buy this barren slope, they are afraid that there will be all kinds of movements on this slope, and then the Ye family will no longer have the current quiet days.
Seeing Daddy Ye coming home with his hands behind his back, the Chen family had to ask about the situation, and when she learned that the village actually wanted two taels and one acres, she was really angry: "The inferior fields in the village are only three taels and one acres, and the poor ones are even only sold for two taels!" There are still two or two acres of barren slope land, why don't they grab it?! ”
Chen's voice was a little high, and even Ye Damin and Qi Anhe, who were busy working in the backyard, heard it clearly, and the two couldn't help but look at each other, the Xie clan people really wanted money and wanted crazy!
The ownership of this barren slope is clear to Qi Anhe, and Ye Damin is also clear.
Qi Anhe still has a memory of this barren slope in his heart, which happened before the Ye family came to settle in Hongfeng Village.
At that time, Qi An and his father Qi Sheng were still alive, and they had a little money to spare, so they thought about buying more land, and they didn't know who they had listened to, so they fell in love with this barren slope, and talked with the Xie clan to buy this slope.
At that time, the price offered by the Xie clan was one tael of silver and two acres of barren slope land, and if all of them were bought and erased with a fraction, the entire barren slope would only be counted as fifty acres.
Qi Sheng was really moved, but Yang didn't agree.
The Yang family didn't have trouble with Qi Sheng, but just pulled Qi Sheng up and down the barren slope to explore everywhere, and then Qi Sheng didn't mention buying this barren slope.
Because the soil that can be used in this barren land is too little and too thin, even if it takes a lot of effort to clean it up, it will not be able to grow anything, according to Yang's statement, it is better to use the silver to buy this barren slope than to throw it into the water, because you can still hear a sound in the water.
Back then, in order to have a place to settle in Hongfeng Village, the Ye family bought a few acres of barren slopes to settle the family because they were really poor.
In order to allow these acres of land to grow living things to feed the whole family, the family got up early in the morning and was greedy for darkness, and they relied on their shoulders to dig silt from the river to raise the land.
Didn't the people of the Xie clan forget that this slope was originally a barren slope with no harvest, thinking that the Ye family had made money, and this slope was a fragrant and sweet money bag?!
For a long time, although the people of the Xie clan in Hongfeng Village have been a little xenophobic, they are quite simple.
Although the old village chief is a little sophisticated, he can almost say nothing in the village, he can suppress the villagers and the clansmen, and he can be regarded as an old man with eyes and brains.
Although the old village chief has passed on the burden of the village chief to Xie Hui, he is still the patriarch of the Xie family, how could he allow Xie Hui to offer such an outrageous land price?
Qi Anhe couldn't figure it out, Ye Damin didn't figure it out, and even Xie Huang, who was the son of the old village chief and the younger brother of the new village chief, didn't figure it out.
The news that Father Ye rushed to the door to buy a barren slope and finally returned in disappointment was quickly spread through the fast mouth of Xie Hui's mother-in-law Zhang.
The Mengxue of Hongfeng Village is located in the Xie ancestral hall, there is an old locust tree in front of the ancestral hall, and the old people and women in the village like to gather here to talk about the long and short when they are fine.
So Xie Huang, who was teaching the children in Mengxue, soon got the news.
When he learned that Father Ye proposed to buy the barren slope, Xie Hui actually offered two taels per mu, Xie Huang was surprised and naturally very angry.
