Chapter 391: New Ideas
After eating, Zhang Sijiu and Zhaoyin went to find Gu's sister-in-law under the leadership of Xu.
A village is still very large, and it will be divided into several settlements, and not everyone will get together to build houses.
This kind of small settlement is called this kind of small settlement, either it is called XX courtyard, or it is called the name of the place, what stone pier, river bay.
Usually called XX yard, it is a small family. From the very beginning, the family is scattered, the children are separated, the house is repaired, and finally a large courtyard is formed.
The place where Gu's sister-in-law lives is called Wang's courtyard, and the men here are basically surnamed Wang. Counting up, they are all descended from one ancestor, and there are not five generations.
In such a place, usually no one dares to come to make trouble and find trouble, because if you shout, the person who rushes out of the hulala, one person and a mouthful of spit, can make your face so muddy that you can't open your eyes. Even those who steal chickens and dogs don't dare to go here easily - if you are caught, people quietly kill you and throw you into the river, and no one says anything about it, it is possible.
Even if you don't get killed, holding down and beating half to death and then sending it to the official is a routine operation.
And like Zhang Sijiu, they are retail investors. Most of them are separated from each other, and the relationship with the family is not very good, or they don't want to participate in the big family, and the homestead is specially picked far away, or they are simply the ancestors who have just moved over.
Of course, after two or three generations of living, it's actually the same.
There is no such thing as an outsider.
Gu's sister-in-law's family lived in the depths of the Wang family's courtyard, and Zhang Sijiu looked at this large area of connected residences, and felt the power of the family for the first time - well, I felt that this was a place that didn't dare to make trouble easily!
Sister-in-law Gu, who came to open the door, was a little surprised when she saw Xu's: "Sister Xu, what kind of wind blew you here? I'll just say, the magpie has been chirping today, and it turns out that there are rare customers coming to the door! Come in, come in!"
After speaking, let the three of them in.
For such an enthusiastic and talkative person, it is difficult to make a bad first impression.
In the blink of an eye, Xu and Sister-in-law Gu had already complimented each other warmly and politely for three rounds.
Zhang Sijiu and Zhaoyin stood next to them and listened, pitiful and helpless: they couldn't interject, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.
In the end, Sister-in-law Gu beckoned everyone to sit down, and asked her youngest daughter to make sugar water for everyone to drink.
Only then did Xu Shi get down to business: "Sister-in-law Gu, I also have something I want to trouble you today. I just don't know how to speak, I'm embarrassed."
When Sister-in-law Gu heard this, she immediately slapped her thigh, and after saying "Hi", she also blamed and complained about Xu: "Look at Sister Xu, what is the trouble or not?" In a village, your man has helped us so much, and your family's affairs are our Wang family's affairs! Just say it! As long as I can do it, I'll make sure you can do it properly and beautifully!"
In that way, it was really enthusiastic and crisp, and suddenly people couldn't help but soar their favorability towards her.
Xu didn't go around in circles, and directly said the idea of wanting to find someone to contract the job of planting rice at home, and at the end he didn't forget to compliment Sister-in-law Gu: "I know that Sister-in-law Gu knows a lot of people and has good popularity, so I thought about asking you to help." After all, no one else really can't do this except you."
Sister-in-law Gu was obviously very comfortable and used by such a compliment, her smile was a little brighter, but her mouth was modest: "I'm just a country woman, how can I be so powerful."
"However, I don't know if I can do this for a while, so you let me ask tomorrow, and I will give you a word of approval by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Okay?" Sister-in-law Gu is very simple, as soon as she hears this, it makes people think that she is very capable. Inexplicably, it makes people feel reliable.
Zhang Sijiu felt that in addition to being indeed a cheerful and capable person, Sister-in-law Gu could be so straightforward, probably the main reason was because she already knew it in her heart.
When Xu heard this, he was overjoyed, and thanked his sister-in-law Gu repeatedly.
Sister-in-law Gu also said that there was nothing to do, and she enthusiastically sent the three of them out of the Wang family's courtyard, and beckoned Zhang Sijiu to come over to play - although this side is too far away, it is basically impossible.
But who wouldn't love such enthusiasm?
On the way back, Zhang Sijiu sighed with Xu: "No wonder Sister-in-law Gu is popular, there is a reason for that."
Xu also nodded repeatedly: "That must be. I don't have that ability. Sometimes, you have to be convinced."
CMB also followed up and said, "Sister-in-law Gu relies on this popularity, she can earn money by sitting at home, she is indeed a powerful person."
All the way home, Yang hadn't slept yet, and after listening to what Xu said, she also felt that Gu's sister-in-law probably thought of finding someone, and she was determined at the moment.
So, the family waited for the news of Sister-in-law Gu the next day.
Sister-in-law Gu was indeed neat and tidy, and she came over just after lunch at noon the next day.
At that time, Zhang Sijiu was reading the pharmacopoeia, and when he heard his sister-in-law coming over, he went to see what she had to say.
Sister-in-law Gu didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "The matter has been done. The man found it. It is the daughter-in-law of my man's cousin, she is very diligent, and she has many sisters-in-law, so if she comes to them, she can get your family's land in one day. Have you already filled your land? I'll be able to get it tomorrow."
This is a pleasant surprise.
Xu Shi said repeatedly: "It's already poured, and I can get it tomorrow!"
The sooner the seedlings are planted, the sooner you can rest assured.
Zhang Sijiu also felt that Sister-in-law Gu did have some skills.
The next moment, Sister-in-law Gu asked about the payment: "However, how to calculate the money? It's a busy time for farming, and it's not easy for them to earn some money—"
The money was set by the family a long time ago, so as soon as Sister-in-law Gu asked, Xu immediately said, "Let's calculate this according to the land." Our family's land is five acres of land, and one acre of land is a hundred dollars, and a total of five hundred dollars."
Sister-in-law Gu groaned slightly, as if she was not very satisfied with the price.
Xu was not in a hurry, and only asked Sister-in-law Gu to think about it first.
Zhang Sijiu saw that Xu didn't speak, so he breathed a sigh of relief: At this time, if you are in a hurry and open your mouth, then you will lose! So be sure to hold your breath!
After a while, Sister-in-law Gu finally spoke: "It is said that this price is not low, but there are many of them, it is difficult to divide, and my brother and daughter-in-law must also take more than others, or add another fifty yuan?"
This time, the person who was groaning was replaced by the Xu family.
However, Xu Shi actually agreed in his heart, just for a show. In the end, Xu nodded and said briskly, "Okay, since it was Sister-in-law Gu who opened her mouth, I definitely can't refute it." That's it, five hundred and fifty dollars, it's decided. Our land will be finished in one day?"
She is so neat, then Sister-in-law Gu will definitely not be able to talk about anything else, this matter is settled.
