Tong Zhifei admitted it himself, and the theft of money came to light.

In Tong Shan's stern gaze, Mrs. Tong didn't dare to speak no matter how much sophistry she made, so she had to promise in front of everyone that she would return the stolen silver to Tong Chuxue.

After dealing with the Tong family a few times, in her eyes, the credibility of the Tong family has long been bankrupt.

Tong Chuxue followed Mrs. Tong to Mrs. Tong's house, and successfully got back the stolen silver in the scolding, and at the same time gave Mrs. Tong a herb, which could be solved by boiling water and drinking.

In fact, the poisonous weeds planted by Tong Chuxue will not hurt his life, but Tong Zhifei is young and has a bigger reaction, but he vomited a few times before, and the toxins in his body have been almost cleared, and then he can get some detoxifying herbs to cook and drink water.

She kept this money to do big things, and now that she has gained and lost, Tong Chuxue is in a very happy mood.

She took Xu Jinniang back to Lizheng's house.

Tong Shan saw Tong Chuxue coming, and greeted with a smile, "What's wrong, but what do you want me to help with?" ”

Tong Chuxue winked playfully, "Of course there is something important to come to Uncle Lizheng, we want to buy a piece of land in the village, I don't know if there is vacant land for sale, in addition, my mother and I don't even have a house, if there are any old houses in the village, we also want to buy them." ”

Li Zheng listened to their request and took out the land ledger, in which all the plots in the village were recorded. Tong Shan flipped through the pages for a long time, pointed to one of the pages and said to Tong Chuxue, "I know that you don't have much silver in your hands, if you want to buy an acre of land and add a house, it is still a little worse, there is a place on the edge of the back mountain, you can consider it." ”

"This piece of land originally belonged to a family in the village, but the parents died early, and the daughter married into another village, so the residence was vacant, and the house was not big, but it was enough for the two of you. At that time, the girl was only one person, and her strength was limited, so she sold the fertile land, and hired someone to open an acre of wasteland on the edge of the house, and the yield was not high, but she had enough to eat. ”

There is a field next to the house, which is very suitable for Tong Chuxue, so that many small actions can also avoid the eyes of the villagers and save people's eyes.

Compared with Tong Chuxue's satisfaction, Xu Jinniang was a little worried, "The yield of dry land is already low, and it is originally wasteland, so I'm afraid the soil strength is not good." ”

"Mother, think about it, if we buy an acre of fertile land, don't talk about whether the silver in our hands is enough, just talk about working in the field, mother, you are home alone, I don't worry, I'm at home alone, you don't worry, I think this place is very good." Tong Chuxue persuaded.

"What the snow girl said is reasonable, although the yield of one acre of land is a little worse, it should be enough for you two to eat." Tong Shan Road.

But if it goes on like this, all year round, how much you plant and eat, you can't save a penny, what can you do about the marriage of the first snow, Xu Jinniang is very worried.

"Uncle Lizheng, I don't know how much silver is needed for this house?" Tong Chuxue asked.

"The farmland from the wasteland is cheaper, five taels of silver per acre, and the old house covers an area of half an acre, three taels of silver, a total of eight taels of silver."

Tong Chuxue was a little surprised, this price was obviously calculated by Tong Shan just now, he knew that they didn't have much money in their hands, so he chose a place for them according to the highest standard they could afford.

"But this house is in tatters, and you have to renovate it when you buy it, and there are no living items in it, so you need to buy them, and the fields are now overgrown with weeds, and they must be cleaned up. Whether you want to buy this land or not, you need to think carefully. Tong Shan added.

Xu Jinniang obviously hesitated, and pulled Tong Chuxue over, "Chuxue, I'm afraid the silver in our hands is not enough to spend." ”

Tong Chuxue was obviously not worried, "Mother, I know it in my heart." ”

Xu Jinniang looked at Tong Chuxue, worried and relieved, her daughter has grown up and will be in charge.

In the end, Tong Chuxue was in charge and bought the place chosen by Tong Shan. She also needs to go to the government for the record, so she can get the title deed in two days.

Tong Chuxue asked Li Zheng to help find a few reliable men and help them tidy up the house and ground, and Li Zheng agreed, saying that he would take someone there tomorrow morning and let Chuxue wait there.

The silver was spent, but when they thought that they were about to have a home, Xu Jinniang and Tong Chuxue felt that the taste of wild vegetables had improved.

On the morning of the second day, the mother waited for someone at her new home.

Tong Chuxue, who was far away, saw a girl with a ponytail leading a few strong men over, the girl seemed to recognize Tong Chuxue, and greeted Tong Chuxue very familiarly, "Sister Xue, grandpa asked me to bring someone to you, by the way, he also asked me to bring you some vegetable seeds." ”

Tong Chuxue liked her appearance when she saw it, and it was rare to meet a pleasing one, and said with a smile, "Uncle Lizheng is really thoughtful, and the troublesome girl thanked him for me." ”

"Don't call me girl, it sounds weird, just call me Zhenzhen." Wu Zhenzhen grinned.

Li Zheng helped Tong Chuxue find a total of five people, and he was able to get the house and fields out in about three days. However, Tong Chuxue has no experience in living in the countryside, and when people come to help, they can't ask people to work in vain.

"This is simple, generally the village hires people to work, twenty wen a day, but you don't care about food at noon, you can add a little, twenty-two wen is good." Wu Zhenzhen suggested.

One person has twenty-two wen a day, and after three days, the total cost of five people is three hundred and thirty wen. Fortunately, it is within their reach.

"By the way, there is another thing that my grandfather asked me to remind you," Wu Zhenzhen said, "This is in the lower reaches of the river, and the water is okay for watering the ground, but it is not very convenient to eat, drink, wash vegetables or anything at home, so it is better to go to the well in the center of the village to fetch water." ”

Tong Chuxue ignored this stubble, "I don't know how much it costs to dig a well, and it's a little troublesome to carry water every day." ”

Wu Zhenzhen understands Tong Chuxue very well, she often fetches water at home, and the two buckets full of water on her shoulders are really tiring, "There is no one in Qingshan Village who knows how to dig wells, so I have to go to the neighboring villages to find them, and a well is estimated to cost two taels of silver." ”

The small flame in Tong Chuxue's eyes was extinguished all of a sudden, the money in their hands was really not enough, it seemed that they had to think of a way.

Because there is no food at noon, a few men finish their work in the morning, and they have to go back to eat at noon, and then come back in the afternoon to continue working.

When Tong Chuxue came over in the afternoon, he found that one of them didn't seem to have come in the morning.

The man smiled and explained, "It's my cousin who came in the morning, isn't my sister-in-law pregnant, she is a little uncomfortable, my cousin is at home to accompany her, and I will come over for him." Girl, don't worry, my Wang Lao Liu is absolutely neat in his work. ”

Tong Chuxue smiled politely, didn't say anything, turned around and went into the house to clean up.

Wang Lao Liu looked at Tong Chuxue's back, and a few traces of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.

Although the little girl was a little thin and her face was dark, he could see through the cuffs that the skin on her body was white.
