Chapter 112: Buying Land

This person's surname is Yu, his name is Erdan, his home is in the west of the town, and his family is a generation of blacksmiths, and the ancestral craftsmanship is not said, and the father and son have opened three such blacksmiths in the town.

This Yu Erdan is the second eldest in the family, now 21 years old, and he talked about the family affairs in the countryside. The bride is from Xiaomiao Village, and it is said that she is a beautiful and incomprehensible thing, and after just one glance, Yu Erdan fell in love with it. Now that the media has been discussed, a small tea ceremony is being prepared.

That's right, the bride he fancied was Cherry's cousin Yue Lizhen, and he was Yue Lizhen's proud capital every day, the capital to show off - the blacksmith she was about to marry.

"Brother Yu, do you recognize me?" Cherry tilted her head and looked at the man with a light smile. When he raised his face, he was a kind-looking person, his eyes were honest and sincere, he should be an honest person.

"This noble lady ......" Yu Erdan took a closer look, and after seeing it, he politely lowered his head and shook his head: "I don't recognize it." ”

"Who am I?" Cherry laughed at him, picked him up, and pressed him to the chair next to him, "You sit down first." ”

"How dare you, how dare you?" Yu Erdan was a little panicked, stiffened, how could the cherry be pressed? She had no choice but to smile and introduce herself: "Brother Yu, I am from Xiaomiao Village. Yue Lizhen is my cousin, and I am her sister, Yue Cherry. In a few days, I'm afraid I'll call you 'brother-in-law' again, why don't you sit down quickly? ”

"Someone you know?" Sun Qingzhu's eyebrows raised slightly.

"He's your brother-in-law? Is that your second sister's brother-in-law or brother-in-law? Peng Yu'an asked, and at the same time, he had already diligently called the little guy outside to add a cup of tea.

Yu Erdan was even more flattered, quietly raised his head to glance at the cherry, and quickly hung down: "It's my sister!" I have not been to Xiaomiao Village much, and I haven't made a big salute yet, I haven't seen it, and I haven't recognized it, and I hope my sister will forgive me! "I was a little surprised in my heart, what sister of Lizhen could have such great ability, and get along so well with the young master of the Peng family, it was so casual and natural.

"I didn't know my brother-in-law, as soon as Brother Peng said that your surname was Yu, and you were from the west, I paid attention, and when I inquired, it was true!!" Cherry said to Peng Yu'an again: "My second sister is one year younger than my sister Lizhen, so I should call him brother-in-law!" ”

"Oh, oh!!" Peng Yu'an nodded again and again, and went up to pull Yu Erdan's sleeve: "You sit closer to the table and try this pastry!" I didn't know about this relationship, but if I had known, I would have greeted you as soon as you entered the door. ”

Yu Erdan sat there a little at a loss, and he didn't know where to put his hands, so he had to put them stiffly on his laps. A little cramped: "Where did Young Master Peng say, it is my honor that Peng's business is willing to give me, how dare I ask you to come out to greet me in person?" After speaking, he glanced at Sun Qingzhu again: "Didn't this grandfather just say that he wanted to fight an iron frame?" ”

"You really listen to him, what kind of grandson am I?" Sun Qingzhu called Yu Erdan's seriousness and laughed, and told Yu Erdan in detail about his iron frame requirements.

Xu is atmosphere here made Yu Erdan too restrained, he stiffly and jerkily chatted with a few people nonsense, and then got up and said goodbye.

Cherry sat for a while and left, after all, they weren't too familiar, so it was not good to eat at someone's house. Before leaving, he deliberately confirmed with Sun Qingzhu: "I said that I was going to sing a show, don't forget." When is there a letter, tell me in advance, and I will be able to make room for it when I turn back. ”

"Don't worry, Ghost Head!" Sun Qingzhu smiled slightly, his eyes full of doting.

Coming out of Peng's mansion, Cherry hummed a song all the way and walked home along the small track and field. Although she didn't see Mei Yunyun this time, it was worth it to meet Yu Erdan. It happened that he saw himself sitting with Peng Yu'an and Sun Qingzhu, and believed that the impact of this incident was enough for him to buy back the two acres of land smoothly.

When I got home, it was already noon. Star fruit was standing outside the courtyard and looking here, and when she saw the cherry coming from afar, she quickly beckoned and shouted, "Hurry up, it's time to eat!" ”

"Oh~~~" Cherry let out a long sigh and trotted up. The noon sun was hot on the face, but it was so warm and comfortable. She wants to walk on this trail often, and she often knows this charming sunshine, and is often shouted by her eldest sister.

There are only two people in the family, and star fruit only made a few small noodle rolls, a plate of green vegetables, and a little pickles. The two of them got together and ate quietly, wiped their mouths with cherries, and said, "Sister, our family is rich now, why don't you buy back our two acres of land?" "The two acres of land were left by my parents, but now they are sold to the third aunt, which has always been a problem for the eldest sister. From time to time, when I think about it, I shed a few tears inexplicably. The idea of buying back those two acres of land has become her and Miantao's long-term goal.

"The money is there, but our relationship with the third aunt is like this, how can it be so easy? Besides, she is a person, you don't know that you buy it cheaply, and when you want to sell it, it will definitely be more expensive than the outside. This one is bought and sold, what are we going to do to lose so much money? It's better to save it, and it's good to buy you a silk cloth as a dowry in the future. ”

"It's a big deal to buy it back at the market price, right? I've inquired, our piece of land, if you talk about the field alone, the market price is 11 taels per mu, and you can buy the land back for a total of 22 taels of silver, how good is it? ”

"You said lightly, if you want her to know that we bought it, I'm afraid I don't know how much money you have to pay. I'm afraid we may not be able to buy it for thirty taels. Carambola sighed deeply: "That's it, it's been sold, it's been sold, don't always think about it, we don't want that piece of land." ”

"Don't? Don't you have peace of mind? You don't cry at night anymore? Cherry asked her a few words, and when she lowered her head and didn't speak, she patted her hand again and softened her tone: "Don't worry, big sister, I have a way." Make sure we don't spend a penny more than the market price. In addition, it may be cheaper than the market price. ”

"What can you do?" The star fruit ignited a little joy and looked over.

"Then you don't have to worry about it. You only need to go to her house in the afternoon, remember, don't tell her about it, tell our third uncle, and mention to him about buying land. However, you don't say anything left by your parents, just say that our family wants to buy land, and we like that piece. ”

Star fruit lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then bit her lip lightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you once." If she sells it too expensive, we don't want it. ”

In the afternoon, star fruit went to Ding Juhua's house.

Ding Juhua was not at home, and the third uncle promised to sell the land to the five sisters for twenty taels.

But almost as soon as the star fruit entered the house, Ding Juhua followed. It was inconvenient for her to enter the courtyard now, so she stood outside the courtyard and shouted, "Star fruit, you come out for me!" ”

"What's the matter?" Star fruit and cherries both went out.

Ding Juhua pinched her waist as always, hung her eyes, and had a vicious expression on her face: "You girl, you have a lot of ghost ideas!" You want to buy my family's land, why don't you come to me? Do you think that if you look for your third uncle, you can be fooled about this matter? No way!! As he spoke, he raised his sleeves and waved the tip of his nose pointing at the star fruit: "The title deed is in my hand, what does he want to do behind my back!" I also told you, you want to buy land, right? Okay, fifteen taels per acre, take thirty taels out!! Are you not capable? Daddy and mother can open a small wine inn just after they die, I heard that the business is still good? That's not a shortage of money, isn't it? ”

"You ......" star fruit was about to say something, when Cherry gently held it down and pulled it behind her.

"It's just to buy a piece of land, whose house is different?" Cherry stood in front of her, and her voice was neither high nor low: "We just want to take care of our third uncle." There are only two acres of land left and right, and the rich people think it's small, and the poor people think it's expensive, if we don't take care of him, who will buy his land? Twenty taels of silver, you can sell it if you want to, and pull it down if you don't want to sell it!! ”

"Haha, ghost girl, do you think I don't know?" Ding Juhua squinted proudly: "Why do you sisters want to buy these two acres of land?" Where is it for your third uncle, and not because it was left by your father? As he spoke, he pointed to the star fruit and cherry: "You are all filial sons, and the things left by your father and mother are sold to others like this, so that they can rest in the spirit of heaven?" What's more, if you have broken off your relationship with me now, you can be regarded as a stranger. The things left by the ancestors have gone into the hands of strangers, and if you don't buy this land back for a day, I'm afraid you won't be able to feel at ease for a day!! It's not worth thirty taels? ”

Star fruit held Cherry's shoulder in some panic.

Cherry smiled and replied, "I said, Lizhen Niang." ”

"You !!" As soon as the cherry opened its mouth, Ding Juhua, who was choked by this title, rolled her eyes.

"Isn't that right? I can't call you Aunt Yueji, right? Cherry blinked lightly: "What about me, it's still the same sentence, this land is twenty taels, if you sell it, we will pay, if you don't sell it, we don't have to ask for your piece of land." That's it. After speaking, he took the star fruit back to the yard and didn't look at Ding Juhua.

"Okay, you've got it!!" Ding Juhua raised her voice and shouted: "I think you can understand your heart!" Your father and your mother are scolding you in the spirit of the sky, can you rest assured? You unfilial son!! ”

"I said no, you have to call me to go. I didn't have to cause her a fuss. Star fruit was stimulated by Ding Juhua's words, and her eyes were a little wet.

"It's okay, don't worry." Cherry confidently pinched the eldest sister's hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes: "You don't care about this matter, I promise to buy this land properly within three days." If it doesn't work then, it's never too late for you to be sad, isn't it? ”
