Chapter 40: I will buy all his land
Yang Ling ate all the leftover buns in the morning, and drank two large bowls of porridge, while Qu Xiaobai only drank a small bowl of porridge.
Yang Ling was curious about where Qu Xiaobai was going, but he didn't ask. After eating, the sky was still gray, not dark, Qu Xiaobai cleaned up, changed out of the new clothes, and was still wearing the old clothes, she took out a stone blue cloth from the cabinet, wrapped it with a piece of furoshi, and pulled Yang Ling out of the door.
Qu Xiaobai took him on the way back to the village.
What does she want to do when she goes back to the village at this time?
Yang Ling couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply didn't think about it and just accompanied her.
By the time we reached the village, it was completely dark. Countrymen, there is nothing to do after dinner, and the matter of lighting lamps and boiling oil is basically non-existent, either they go to bed early, or they are outside in groups to enjoy the cool and gossip.
Qu Xiaobai tried her best to avoid people, and picked a small alley where there was no one to go, the alley was dark, she was still a little afraid, and couldn't help but clench Yang Ling's hand and lean close to him.
For her behavior, it was too late for Yang Ling to welcome her.
After turning around, Qu Xiaobai stopped in front of Zhao Yuan's house.
Yang Ling glanced at her, and couldn't figure out what she was doing when she came to Zhao Yuan's house. Zhao Yuan's family stayed in their nest all day during the day, and if they wanted to say anything, they would have been able to finish it a long time ago, and if they didn't say it, it would definitely be a matter of betraying people.
Qu Xiaobai knocked on the door, Zhao Yuan's family was a little tired because they had sewn two clothes during the day, so they lay on the bed early and didn't go out to enjoy the coolness, but her man Zhao Yuan went out.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zhao Yuan's cloak came out to open the door, and asked, "Who?" ”
The door creaked open, and Zhao Yuanjia was a little surprised: "Hey, Brother Yang Ling, Brother Xiaobai?" Come in, please. ”
Welcomed the two people into the door and let them sit in the house, Zhao Yuan's family was busy lighting the oil lamp, making tea and pouring water, Qu Xiaobai grabbed her and said: "Sister-in-law Dayuan, don't be busy first, I came today to find Brother Dayuan for something, and others are not at home?" ”
"Looking for Dayuan?" Zhao Yuanjia's heart was a little uncomfortable, but he still chose to believe Qu Xiaobai, "He's enjoying the cool outside, I'll call him, you sit at home and wait for a while." ”
Not only did Zhao Yuan's family feel unhappy, but Yang Ling was also a little suspicious in his heart, and he didn't know what Qu Xiaobai was looking for Zhao Yuan to do. But he is not as cautious as Zhao Yuanjia, suspecting that Qu Xiaobai has such thoughts.
Zhao Yuan's family was about to go out, Qu Xiaobai pulled her again, and instructed: "Sister-in-law Dayuan, trouble you, don't let others know that I am looking for Brother Dayuan." That one...... You also know that none of the people in the village have a cowardly mouth, and I am afraid that they will talk about it again when the time comes. ”
"Hey, we're not afraid of the shadows, no matter what they say. But don't worry, I'll shy away from people. ”
Zhao Yuan's family went to about Mo Zhan tea, and then pulled Zhao Yuan home.
He is tall and big, taller and stronger than Yang Ling, and he has to top the lintel when he comes in.
"Yo, Brother Yang Ling, brother and sister, what kind of wind blew you here?" Zhao Yuan is a hearty man, and he does not have the bad habits of those long-tongued men and women in the village, and he does not discriminate against fools and foolish daughters-in-law, like his daughter-in-law.
Qu Xiaobai was a little worried at first, he would not wait to see her, but now he can rest assured.
"Brother Da Yuan, it's the first time you visit, and you chose such a late time, don't be surprised."
"Eh, you think about it too much, your sister-in-law and I are welcome to come and sit often, living so far away, you don't even have a person to talk to, right? When you have the money, let's go to the village and build a house, so that everyone can live nearby. ”
Qu Xiaobai promised: "Hey, okay." "Admittedly, the promise is just a matter of words, and she will never come to live in such a smoky village all day long.
Zhao Yuanjia poured tea and said with a smile: "You drink tea." Sister-in-law, there is nothing to entertain you here, and the tea is not good, so you will be served. ”
Qu Xiaobai joked: "In the middle of the night, is it possible for my sister-in-law to get us seven plates and eight bowls to serve a big meal?" ”
"Hahaha...... If you want to, your sister-in-law can do it too. ”
"Don't, don't, sister-in-law, you can do it, and I won't drink."
After the joke, Qu Xiaobai quickly got to the point, "Brother Da Yuan, sister-in-law Da Yuan, I won't tell you that I came to the door today to ask for something." ”
Zhao Yuan was very happy: "Brother and sister Xiaobai, if you have anything to say, Brother Da Yuan can help you do it, you must help." ”
"With Brother Dayuan's words, I am relieved. That, here's the thing, Yang Ling and I live in a shack, and there is not an inch of land that can be planted, so I want to ask Brother Da Yuan Zhang Luo to help buy some land, do you think? ”
Zhao Yuanjia said: "Hey, what should I do, what's so difficult about this?" ”
"It's not that difficult, but the problem is that there is no land to sell in our village right now."
Qu Xiaobai said: "We also know this, in fact, even if there is a land sale, my father-in-law will not let me buy it, and he will definitely make a hindrance." ”
"Alas, I haven't seen such a shameless bastard as Yang Xingmao."
Zhao Yuanjia sighed and scolded, and after scolding, he saved Yang Ling and wanted to admit his mistake and look at Yang Ling, but she didn't seem to understand at all, so she gave up.
Zhao Yuan was very smart: "Then, little white brother and sister, where do you want to buy land?" ”
"I heard that the rich man of Sanlihe Village wants to move to Guannei, he has a hundred acres of fertile land, and he is bound to sell it, but, Brother Dayuan, you also know that I have a quarrel with Zhu Changsong's family, the village tyrant of Sanlihe Village, to this point, it is impossible for him to let me go to their village to buy land, and besides, I am a woman's family, and it is not easy to show my face, so I thought about coming to Brother Dayuan to help me with this."
It's true that she had a feud with Zhu Changsong, but the latter rhetoric about the women's Taoist family is pure nonsense, if it weren't for the fear that Zhu Changsong would make a hindrance from it, she would have been killed in Sanlihe Village a long time ago, so why wait until now?
Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "I can help with this favor, but I don't know if the rich man's land is willing to be sold for nothing, and if you buy land there, you will inevitably have to plant it in the future, and you will inevitably run into people from the Zhu family, I am afraid that you will suffer." ”
Qu Xiaobai smiled faintly and said, "Brother Da Yuan, I don't buy it for nothing, I want to buy all the land of Rich Master Zhang's family." ”
As she spoke, she took out a bag of silver from her sleeve and put it on the table, "This is three hundred taels of silver, Brother Da Yuan will go over and inquire about the price first, if it is not enough, I will find a way, if this matter is done, the benefits of Brother Da Yuan are indispensable." ”
Zhao Yuan looked at the heavy silver bag on the table, Huo Ran stood up, "So much silver? He looked at Qu Xiaobai suspiciously.
Clearly, he was suspicious of the origin of the silver.
Qu Xiaobai smiled: "Brother Da Yuan, don't be surprised, it's weird and scary. Rest assured, there is no problem with where the money comes from. This is an heirloom jade bracelet that my grandmother gave me before she died, and I sold it for my livelihood. Brother Da Yuan, this is all my belongings, so please ask Brother Da Yuan to help me do this. ”
From the very beginning, Zhao Yuan's family was already stunned, and at this time, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "Good girl, little white girl, the jade bracelet your grandmother gave you is so valuable!" ”
Qu Xiaobai smiled: "I didn't expect it to be so valuable, and when I went to the county to sell it that day, I was also taken aback." ”
Zhao Yuan didn't believe in any family heirlooms, but he didn't ask in a hesitant manner, took a deep breath, and said: "Brother Yang Ling, Brother Xiaobai, this favor, I am willing to help you, but whether it can be done or not, I don't dare to guarantee it, I will do my best." ”
"Brother Da Yuan, I am bound to get these lands. Please try your best to help me. ”
Under the dim oil light, Qu Xiaobai's delicate eyebrows revealed perseverance and arrogance, which was a look that made people fall for it at a glance.
Yang Ling was a little stupid.
He was originally stupid, so Qu Xiaobai and the three of them couldn't see that this expression was any different from usual.
"By the way, Brother Da Yuan, this is a piece of fabric, let my sister-in-law make you a new dress, we have to buy land, we have to dress better, so that the rich man Zhang can believe that we can buy his land."
Zhao Yuan's family was going to postpone these cloths, but Zhao Yuan was more far-sighted than her, and he said: "Cheng, little white brother and sister, I will ask your sister-in-law to finish the clothes as soon as possible, and wear new clothes when the time comes." ”
"Well, I will find a way to make an appointment with Rich Master Zhang to the restaurant in the town tomorrow, and I will tell Brother Dayuan at the specific time and place of meeting at that time. How to talk to Zhang Caizhu specifically, we will discuss it in detail. ”
"Okay, I'll wait at home for your news."
Coming out of Zhao Yuan's house, it was already very late, and the crowd of people enjoying the cool on the street also went home one after another, leaving only a few scattered people. Qu Xiaobai still chose a relatively remote road and avoided the eyes of the villagers.
On the night of early summer, quietly, the four fields are low, the sky is clear, and the starlight in the sky is sprinkled down, falling on the quiet field, instantly washing away the troubles and fatigue of the human body.
The path leading to the hut was overgrown with lush weeds, the faint smell of grass, the chirping of insects, and the occasional sound or two of birds chirping on the hills on the other side of the river.
Everything is primitive as if it has never been civilized.
It was as if everything was waiting for her to be civilized.
Qu Xiaobai held Yang Ling's hand tightly, and there was a sense of pride in his chest.
I don't know when, Yang Ling picked her up, she lay on his thick back, through a thin layer of summer clothes, feeling the temperature of his back like fire, and her heart was pounding somehow.
Somewhat frenzied.
In the past, when she was still a star Qu Xiaobai, she was actually devoted to her beloved career, and she had seen how people loved her so much, but she had never experienced it herself.
Her special status makes her not believe in love very much.
Falling in love with a fool? That's impossible.
She's not lacking in heart. But the sultry temperature of the fool made her heart really beat.
If...... It shouldn't be too much to do something to a fool. After all, the fool is her husband's!
