Chapter 44 Discussing the Purchase of Land
Li Qingyuan listened to his daughter-in-law's words, he didn't feel good in his heart, his daughter-in-law couldn't protect him, and he wanted her to swallow his anger, but the other party was his mother, and he had nothing to do, so he had to tell the child to accompany his mother, and he walked out of the courtyard gate to chase after the mother.
Lu Caiqing knew the preferences of the village chief's family, prepared a gift and brought a few embroideries of his own, and then came to Chenjia Village with Song Ziyu and stopped in front of the village chief's house.
It is worthy of being the head of a village, the courtyard gate wall is made of blue bricks, walk in and see, there are a few old cattle tied in the yard, the forage in the trough is full, there are seven or eight big fat pigs in the circle, more than a dozen sheep and chickens and ducks croaking.
When the village chief's daughter-in-law saw someone from the house, she didn't know who it was for a long time, but when she saw the pheasant and hare in their hands and the white noodles with pickled meat, there was a smile on her face.
Lu Caiqing saw that she was puzzled, thinking that she must not know who she was, so she hurriedly spoke: "Seeing that you are young, you must be the daughter-in-law of the village chief!" I'm Lu Caiqing, I should call you sister-in-law. ”
When the village chief's daughter-in-law heard that such a child still called herself sister-in-law, and praised herself for being young, she was happy, and thought that Lu Caiqing, a woman, had heard it herself, wasn't she the woman who sold it into the mountains? But the white, tall and beautiful girl in front of her is not like what they say, and besides, what she is holding in her hand is something that ordinary people don't have, and she doesn't stretch out her hand to hit the smiling person.
So he happily took the thing and said, "Look at your child, your name is Yan'er Niang!" Or it's not appropriate to call Aunt Chen, it's not appropriate to call you sister-in-law, I can be your grandmother. ”
"Okay, I'll call you Aunt Chen! Is Uncle Village Chief here? I want to talk to him about something! Lu Caiqing's eyes went to the house.
"Yes, yes! Hurry up in the house please. The village chief's daughter-in-law let the two into the house with a smile, Lu Caiqing had seen the village chief, and he agreed to sell her to the three brothers of the Song family.
The village chief's daughter-in-law whispered a few words in his ear, and the village chief raised his eyes to look at the two in front of him.
At this time, Chen Xiaoyan walked in as soon as the door curtain was lifted, directly crossed the two, and sat next to the village chief, Lu Caiqing saw it, she looked like no one in her eyes, and she was displeased, but she still said: "This is Sister Yan'er of the village chief's uncle's family!" It's really good-looking, no wonder people say that Sister Yan'er is the first beauty in our Chenjia Village, and her parents are handsome and give birth to such a big beauty! I don't have anything to give, so I just embroidered a few simple patterns and gave them to my sister! ”
Lu Caiqing took a few steps forward and handed it up with both hands, Chen Xiaoyan saw that she was rustic, looking poor, she reached out and pulled the embroidery to the ground, and said in disgust: "Who is rare about your dirty things, I don't want to take them." ”
Song Ziyu saw that her mother's hard-working embroidery patterns were pulled to the ground by her, so she quickly picked them up, and said angrily: "This is too disrespectful to the little daughter-in-law, she embroiders day and night, I don't like you can say, how can you waste good things like this?" ”
Song Ziyu felt that what he said was right, so he became angry, Chen Xiaoyan was told by him, not only did he not get angry, but he also looked at Song Ziyu with a expression.
When Lu Caiqing saw it, she didn't care about the gifts, whether she liked it or not, it was her business, she didn't accept it and kept it for the money.
The village chief's daughter-in-law saw her girl staring at her husband like this, so she hurriedly pulled her out of the house and said, "The child is spoiled and rude, you talk about the right thing, we went out to work." ”
Lu Caiqing smiled and nodded, "Aunt Village Chief, you are busy!" ”
Seeing the mother and daughter go out, he turned back to Village Chief Chen and said, "Uncle Village Chief! I came today just to ask, is the wasteland at the foot of our mountain in Chenjia Village sold? ”
Village Chief Chen looked at her suspiciously, originally he had been managing Chenjia Village without incident, but the Chen family's mother-in-law didn't know how to send Lu Caiqing away, he also thought about the principle of calming things down, Lu Caiqing didn't object, so he did a foolish thing, and now he still regrets it.
Yesterday, I heard that Lu Caiqing is doing well now, and before Li Qingyuan's family came out, he taught the Li family's mother-in-law a lesson, and I also felt a little comforted. In fact, I can't get used to seeing the Li family's mother-in-law bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and she has been pinching the Li family.
Just as he was about to speak, the village chief's daughter-in-law entered the house and said, "Cai Qing! The land purchase and sale of our Chenjia Village is not up to your village chief and uncle alone. ”
When Village Chief Chen heard this, he looked back at his daughter-in-law suspiciously, and didn't want to dismantle the stage, so he nodded in understanding, and said embarrassedly: "Yes!" Pick green! It's not that I don't help, if there is any big or small thing, I can help you, the past! I also regret that I always felt that Mrs. Chen was messing around and agreed, and I felt relieved to see the man next to you take care of you like this. ”
How smart Lu Caiqing is, at a glance, he knows that one of these two people sings black face and white face, but in this case, there is a door, so he said: "Uncle Village Chief!" I know that buying and selling land is a big deal, but I have asked, you still have the final say on the big and small affairs of Chenjia Village, Uncle the village chief, you are also a happy person, you will make a price, I will buy that wasteland, if you bid to buy it, I will buy it, if you can't afford it, just when I didn't say it, it is worth it when I came to visit my uncle and aunt today. ”
The village chief and the two looked at each other, and Village Chief Chen straightened up and said, "Cai Qing!" Since you call me uncle, then I will tell you the truth, this land is not valuable, but if you make a white seed in the village, there must be people gossiping, and this certificate must be issued to the yamen for the record, which is also paid by the village. ”
"I know! Uncle Village Chief, you can make a price, and I'll listen to it. Lu Caiqing said happily.
"This piece of land has to be five acres to say the least! Although no one planted it, it was also a good piece of land, so give it two hundred taels! But this is not for me, it is for the people in the village to divide the money from house to house. ”
When Song Ziyu heard it, it wasn't to hand over the old bottom, he was anxious and pulled Lu Caiqing, Lu Caiqing also felt that these two people were really black, no wonder other people's families couldn't open the pot, but his family was rich.
I want to bargain for a deal, but this is too much, if you want to bargain hard, you have to make them feel that they have no money and have no determination to buy it, so they have a difficult face, and they follow Song Ziyu's own strength, so they are embarrassed and say: "Uncle Village Chief!" Look at how we are dressed, we don't look like people with two hundred taels of silver, auntie! I won't say anything more, just when I didn't say anything about it, it wasn't too early, and we didn't delay you, and we left. ”
After speaking, he pulled Song Ziyu to leave, in the end, she was a country woman, her hair was long and her knowledge was short, and the village chief's daughter-in-law saw that she didn't hold it, so she hurriedly pulled Lu Caiqing and said: "Caiqing!" Don't look at what your uncle wants so much, it's also for the villagers of Chenjia Village, don't take it to heart. ”
