Chapter 45: Someone Steals Fish

"Village chief, how much is this acre of water land, and how much is dry land?"

"How can this dry land ask for money, dry land doesn't need money, that kind of thing is nothing!" Hearing that Cheng Yangyang wanted to buy dry land, Village Chief Wang laughed at her stupidly, "Silly girl, you can plant as much dry land in the village as you reclaim, no money!"

Cheng Yangyang was shocked when she heard that she didn't want money on dry land, so didn't she make a lot of money?

"What about the water?"

"Water and land are two dollars and one acre of silver, if you want to buy it, let's go and see the land today, draw it out, and I will go to the city to set up a land deed for you tomorrow!"

The head of a village, sold the land, set up the title deed, that is the silver to take, he has been the village head for so many years, most of the land planted in the village is passed down from the ancestors, he rarely has the opportunity to take the money for the title deed.

It was hard to wait for an opportunity, and of course he was happy to do it.

"Is it so easy to buy land?" Cheng Yangyang thought it would be very troublesome.

"That's not good, let's go, let's go to the land!" Thinking that there were 100 wen to take from an acre of land, Village Chief Wang couldn't wait to pull Cheng Yangyang to the field.

The two walked in the field, with the village as the center, the closer to the village, the more it was planted, Cheng Yangyang wanted to buy it now, he had to buy a little farther land, but there were few people in Wangjia Village, and no matter how far it was, it would not be far away.

The land that has been planted has been divided into pieces, and the land that has not been planted is a large open field, and the field is overgrown with weeds.

"This piece of land is the closest to the village, how much do you want to buy?" said Village Chief Wang, pointing to a large field of wild grass in front of him.

It doesn't matter how far or near the land is, as long as the canal can be opened here, there is no big problem with the soil quality.

She brushed aside the weeds under her feet, squatted down to check the soil, the ground was good, there were no small stones, but some sand was involved, and it was not a big problem.

"Then the village chief, you first assign me thirty acres of land", Cheng Yangyang calculated, thirty acres of land is six taels of silver, she earned ten taels before and has not spent it, now spend some money to buy land, and the rest has to be kept and asked to help plant.

"Thirty acres!" said Village Chief Wang thought he had misheard.

He knew that the prince had rewarded her with six taels of silver, but she hired someone to work, bought paper and pens to start classes, and bought grain seeds and vegetable seeds, and spent a lot of money.

These days, she spends a lot of money and doesn't want to eat rough noodles, he thought she could buy three or four acres of land at most, but he didn't expect her to buy so much at once!

"Girl, you can't buy land on credit, you don't give money, and the government can't give you the title deed", Village Chief Wang reminded her, hoping that she wouldn't talk big and think clearly.

"I know", Village Chief Wang laughed at Cheng Yangyang when she was frightened, "Village Chief, don't worry, I bought thirty acres of land! I will give you the money early tomorrow morning."

"Girl, are you kidding, where did you get so much silver?"

"I earned it myself", Cheng Yangyang didn't want to say more, their source of income all depended on farming, and it was too difficult to explain this matter to them!

"Village Chief, let's start zoning the land!" she changed the subject and went down to the ground first.

The next day, Village Chief Wang was waiting at the gate of his yard early, although he didn't believe that Cheng Yangyang could get so much money, but he hoped that she could buy those lands, for him, it was a full three dollars of silver!

Cheng Yangyang walked slowly down the mountain and walked in the village with six taels of silver in her arms, as usual, greeting the villagers who got up early, she didn't know how worried the village chief was now.

When she came with a smile on her face, Village Chief Wang's hanging heart was relaxed, and he stepped forward to greet her from afar, "Ouch, Cheng girl, you are here!"

"Village Chief, morning", Cheng Yangyang didn't notice anything wrong with Village Chief Wang, so he just greeted him.

"It's still early, I thought you weren't coming!" Village Chief Wang took Cheng Yangyang into the courtyard, he walked to the door and took a straw hat, and saw that he was going to hurry to the city.

Cheng Yangyang took out the six taels of broken silver in his arms, and handed it over to the village chief without saying a word, "Village chief, I'm sorry for your trouble."

Seeing that she really could get so much money and hand it over to him so reassuringly, Village Chief Wang was a little excited, his hands trembled slightly, "Don't bother, don't bother......"

He carefully put the silver in his hand on his body, changed several places, and then decided to cover his chest, planning to just carry it all the way to the city.

The matter of the land is solved, there is still nearly half a year before the beginning of spring next year, this land can't be so empty, what is suitable for planting in winter?

As she walked, Cheng Yangyang chose in her mind what she could plant in winter and on a large scale, and when she was halfway up the dirt slope home, she had already decided what to plant.

"Mother, aren't we okay to do this?" An unfamiliar voice reached Cheng Yangyang's ears, and she stopped.

"Second child, my mother also knows that we can't be so ungrateful, but the third child wants to eat meat, and my mother can't help it", a woman said helplessly.

After this conversation, there was a sound of rustling on the slope, mixed with the sound of ducks fluttering, "Mother, why are there ducks here!"

"Yes, when did the Cheng family raise ducks?"

The people above didn't seem to know that Cheng Yangyang had raised ducks, and they wanted to quietly catch two fish and leave, but they didn't expect that there were ducks next to the fish pond.

This alarmed the ducks, and the two of them panicked, the movement was too big, they didn't dare to start, and the two of them were so frightened that they turned around and were about to go down the mountain.

But when he turned around, he directly ran into Cheng Yangyang who was going home!

"Ahh

Not only was the woman frightened, but even the little boy next to her was frightened, he lowered his head and hid behind the woman, not daring to look directly at Cheng Yangyang.

The woman in front of her, Cheng Yangyang, knew that it was Wang Dashan's daughter-in-law Liu Chunhua, and standing beside her was Wang Dashan's second son.

"Aunt Dashan, what are you looking for me?" Cheng Yangyang asked with a smile pretending to have just returned home.

Liu Chunhua saw that Cheng Yangyang didn't seem to notice, she covered her chest and smoothed out, and even showed a reluctant smile, "No, we have nothing to do, I just came to see you, it's nothing."

After speaking, Liu Chunhua pulled her son, walked around Chengyang, and left.

Looking at the back of them leaving, Cheng Yangyang was thoughtful, she had heard about the situation in Wang Dashan's family, it is said that he also has a third son who has never been out of the house, and just now, Liu Chunhua also mentioned that it was her third son who wanted to eat meat.

Wanting to eat meat is not a big deal, but there is still more than a month before the fish pond is drained and the fish are collected, if she only sends Wang Dashan's family, the rest of the village will inevitably have opinions, and she has to find a reason for this.
