Chapter 30 - Add five taels of silver

"That's what the big brother said! Just do what Daddy said! Gu Chengyi saw that the eldest brother agreed, it was useless for him to oppose alone, and siblings like the third and fourth brothers had no opinion, and he couldn't jump up alone. Besides, before the separation, they all returned to the public school the same, and they still had to hand over the grain when they got it. Even if they split up in the future, it's all for the future, and we'll talk about it later.

The Lu family was not dissatisfied with Daddy Gu's suggestion, and the twenty acres of land were kept for Xiaobao, and he was not afraid that he would not have any income in the future. The five hundred taels of silver were all returned to the public school, and it was impossible to keep them for Xiaobao, and the old man would not agree. At this time, seeing that Gu Chengyi was also convinced, he didn't say anything more.

"Now that we're done buying land, let's talk about building a house! If you buy the fifty-five acres of land, more than eighty taels, and in addition to the levy tax of eighteen taels, that is, there are only sixty taels left, and this money will not be enough! "After the purchase of land is settled, the construction of houses will be rearranged.

"Dad, we have a lot of family, and we will have to add Ding imported in the future, and there are fewer houses, which will definitely not be enough to live, so the house can't be small, and we need to build a few more rooms." Originally, I was going to build two entrances and buy the place next door to the second grandfather's house. The place is spacious, and the yard can be made larger. How much silver does it cost to enter a courtyard with two entrances? Gu Chengyu said his plan, but with such a budget, it may cost a lot of silver, and how much silver it will cost, his father should know it in his heart.

"What? Two-in? Ouch hey! Isn't that the same as Old Man Zhao's house in our village? His family is only two-in! The blue brick and tile house with a lot of water is spacious! Uncle, do we really want to build such a good house? As soon as He heard that he was going to build a big house, he had already forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and thought longingly that she would be able to live in such a big house in the future, and she would no longer have to huddle her family on a small kang, and she would be sick on a hot day. On rainy days, you have to put a wooden basin in the house, otherwise the rain will leak onto the kang. Windy weather is especially annoying, and the thatch on the roof is always blown off by the phoenix.

"I do have such a plan, isn't this asking my father, how much silver will cost to enter the house twice?" Gu Chengyu looked at his father and said.

"Why do you think of the two-entry house? That will cost a lot of silver, if all the bricks and tiles are used, I estimate that it will cost a hundred or dozens of taels! And that's just the house, not the stuff. "Daddy Gu originally thought that it would be better to build the Gu family's original main house and add east and west wings, and add two more rooms to each wing, and there will be forty or fifty taels of heaven. If you build two in, cover it bigger, and I don't know if it's enough for one hundred or dozens of taels!

"The two-entry house will definitely not be successful, the cost is too large, and our family doesn't have so much silver." Gu Chenglian also interjected. The original twenty acres of land is what the fifth child deserves, he has nothing to say, when he was an apprentice in the town, he didn't take any monthly money from the family, and the family has always relied on the help of his two elder brothers. Ginseng was discovered by Xiaobao, and Xiaobao only got twenty acres of land, not much.

As for the matter of building a house, he thinks it is very important, he and the fourth child are not small, and they are still crowded in the same room, and the big and second rooms of the family are also crowded, this matter can not be delayed any longer. What's more, he was fourteen years old, and he could mention to him about his daughter-in-law, although he was embarrassed and ran out at the time. But now that I think about it, I can't have a daughter-in-law and still squeeze a room with my brother, right?

"The third child is right, then you can only build a smaller one, buy the homestead next door, and when the babies are older in the future, you can also add it! Second brother, I called you back today to go to Li Zheng to discuss the purchase of a homestead, what did Li Zheng say? How much silver? Father Gu remembered that after seeing Tian, he asked the second child to come back and go to find Lin Lizheng's business.

"I've been there. Lin Lizheng said that the yard next door to our house is now in the village, but it can be bought, but the price of this land is not cheap. Gu Chengyi remembered that Lin Li asked him at the right time, what did he want to buy this land for, so he kept an eye on it, saying that he wanted to build a yard, and there were many people in the family, so he was afraid that he would not be able to live in the future, so he bought it first, and then built it when he had the silver. He didn't say that his family was going to build a house now, his family offended the Li Zheng family last time, who knows if Li Zheng will hold a grudge?

Who knew that he agreed to be refreshing, saying that there were many Gu families, and he would indeed build a few more rooms. Gu Chengyi was also glad that Li Zheng did not embarrass his family, thinking that the matter was about to be done. Who knows, after listening to Li Zheng's later words, I know that this matter is not so simple, how can people not hold grudges?

"What's the matter? The yard next door is at most more than one acre, and the homestead in the village has always been two taels of silver per acre. Isn't it cheap? How much does he want? As soon as Father Gu heard the second child say this, he knew that it was Lizheng's personal vendetta. Apparently, he had to make a trip.

"He said that there was a house built on the land, and that if he wanted to buy the land, he had to buy the house together, and he had to add five taels of silver to buy the house." Gu Chengyi also knew that this was deliberately embarrassing, and that broken house was still worth five taels of silver?

"What? The dilapidated house is made of mud bricks, and half of the house has collapsed, and there is nothing worth in the house, and he still wants five taels of silver? Is this a money grab? As soon as the Lu family heard that they wanted to add an extra five taels of silver, they immediately became angry. She knew that the second family came back to say that his family was selling ginseng, and it was spread all over the village, and she must be trying to take the opportunity to blackmail.

"Dad, why don't you fight with him! That dilapidated house is piled up there, and our family is too troublesome! If he wants that shabby house, let him move there! Anyway, we just need that place, who wants that shabby house? He Shi felt a little incredible, no one wanted this house to give away, and Li Zheng even wanted to sell his family for five taels of silver, which is simply more than her love for money!

"This matter, when Ming'er goes to the town to handle the affairs of the fields, I will go again." Father Gu planned to wait for Ming'er to buy the land and then call his eldest brother to go to Lizheng's house, but he didn't believe that Lizheng would not even give his eldest brother face.

"Second brother! Did you bring any gifts with you when you went today? Gu Chengyu thought that no matter what time it was, the hands of people were short, the mouths of people were short, and if they brought a courtesy, people could always look at it, right?

"Why do you want to give gifts? Whoever wants to buy land and build a house in our village just goes directly? I haven't seen anyone give gifts! Gu Chengyi was a little strange, and then after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense. His family's situation is different!

"Then I'll buy some more pastries tomorrow?" Gu Chengyi felt that Ming'er should buy some jujube cakes and go over to explore.

"Let's buy another piece of meat! The courtesy is light, I'm afraid people still don't look down on it! Gu Chengyu felt that Li was the kind of person who looked serious on the surface, but was a little greedy in his heart. Of course, sometimes I am still very knowledgeable about current affairs, Ming'er brought a gift, gave enough face, and earned enough money, I think I should be able to agree. After all, it is definitely impossible for this house to cost five taels, take it to the village and say, you have to let people poke the backbone, what is called to accept it when you see it, people have been doing it for so many years, and they must be clear in their hearts.
