Chapter Seventy-Three: Spring Ploughing
But Li Zheng is very reliable. In the afternoon of the same day, he sent Nie Xiaofang over to ask the Ye family to go to his house to discuss the purchase of land. Li Jinshu also followed.
I thought there were some twists and turns in the middle, but as soon as the mother and daughter sat down, Li Zheng said bluntly: "I asked you about the land." Next to your field are Li Guangfu's field and Zhang Dazhuo's field. These two have slightly larger fields and meet your requirements. Other than that...... Even my family has two acres of land, which is next to your family's land, I don't know if you need it......"
Before Li Zheng's words were finished, Li Jinshu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Of course I need to!" Grandpa Lizheng, you can be regarded as helping us, thank you so much! ”
Li Zheng smiled, his eyes full of kindness: "Okay! Then I'll sell it to you. The land on the other side of the river was not fertile, and the price was set according to the yamen, three taels of silver per acre of land. Even if the two acres of land in our family are cheaper, you can give five taels of silver. ”
Li Zheng wanted to sell Ye's favor, and Ye's naturally couldn't refuse. The land of Li Guangfu and Zhang Dazhuan has a total of five acres, and if you count the Li Zheng family, it will cost twenty taels of silver just to buy the land.
The family's savings are there, but spending so much money at once, Li Jinshu can't help but feel heartache. But thinking about the income that these lands will bring in the future, her psychology is balanced.
However, after buying the land, I am afraid that the construction of a new house will have to be slowed down. Li Jinshu made a plan, planning to ask someone to help plow out the acres of land he bought before the people in the village were busy, and then spend a few days planting vegetables, and then let the restaurant open as soon as possible.
She is now "poor" again, so she has to seize all the time to make money.
The food prepared by the Ye family to help harvest the rice was so good that Li Chunlan said that she was interesting enough when she met people, so now almost everyone in the village knows about it. So this time, when she was going to ask someone to plow the land, she had just sent a message out, and someone volunteered to help.
Of course, the Ye family still discussed the matter with Li Jinshu about inviting someone. The first thing they considered was the two sons of Uncle Zhang's family, and then the two sons of Zhang Gui and Zhao Yi and the Li Zheng family. Only the Li Zheng family and Zhao Yi's family raised cattle in the village, and since they had asked someone to help, the cattle naturally had to be borrowed.
Li Jinshu originally meant to give the two families some money, which was regarded as renting cattle for use. However, Ye had just mentioned this stubble, and Li Zheng and Zhao Yi sternly refused. The two families said that they were similar, they both said that the Ye family was too outside, and everyone was a villager, so there was no need to be so polite.
The people have been invited, the problem of the oxen has been solved, and the matter of plowing the land cannot be delayed. If it is delayed for another two days, then everyone in the village will be busy, who will want to help?
So when everyone hadn't moved yet, Li Jinshu's family was busy. Every day, the sound of laughter from the other side of the river echoes in the village. There are some people with hot eyes, and it is natural to say two sour words behind their backs, such as Li Hongliu, Li Xianglian and the like.
After all, Li Hongliu's family used to be a rich person in the village, but now that the Ye family has changed and bought eight acres of land in one go, she must be uncomfortable after falling behind. And the reason for Li Xianglian's red eyes is even simpler: before the separation of the family, the Ye family was just a cowardly and incompetent woman, but in just half a year, the life of the family has become more and more prosperous, and their family is still the same.
Of course, it is impossible for them to know that the reason why the Ye family has such a change today is almost all due to Li Jinshu.
