The two have been married for more than 20 years, and the eldest granddaughter is already ten years old, and with just one look, the village chief knows what his daughter-in-law is thinking.

"This ...... This is a big deal to take in people with foreign surnames, and I have to ask the patriarch before I can answer you."

The village chief also had an idea in his heart, and called his eldest son out and asked him to accompany Yu Dahai, and his daughter-in-law to accompany Bai Xia and the others.

Although Dou'er Village is poor, it can be regarded as having rules.

Bai Xia nodded secretly, but this time she played the role of a young lady from a rich family, and before she came, she also found an old lady who had been in a big family and taught her the rules to make herself look a little bit.

Otherwise, it is not easy for her to pretend to be a young lady from a rich and noble family, just because she is confident and wanton, she doesn't sit or stand.

Several people sat in the house, the door of the hall was wide open, and Yu Dahai and the eldest son of the village chief's family were outside, and the two were chatting.

It was quiet for a while, and the village chief's daughter-in-law didn't know what to say to the young lady from this big family.

In order to avoid the cold field, Bai Xia opened his mouth first.

"Auntie, I see that every household in the village does not raise livestock, why is this?"

Hearing that the white, tender and fairy-like little girl called her aunt, she didn't look down on people at all, the village chief's daughter-in-law ironed in her heart, and the tension in her heart went a lot, and she couldn't help but show some bitterness when she heard the words.

"The people in our village can't afford to feed themselves, where can we afford to raise livestock?"

"Huh? Why is that? Bai Xia exclaimed, as if puzzled, and listened to the village chief's daughter-in-law pour bitter water.

It is said that last year was drought, the water and soil were not abundant, and an acre of land could only produce less than a stone of grain, and many people had not stored grain for a long time, and paid grain taxes, and life was stretched, and this year, people's food was not enough, and even the weeds on the mountains were scavenged, where there was still food to feed chickens and ducks.

All the livestock in the village were slaughtered, and almost none of them were still raised.

Although this year's harvest is better, it is not much better than last year.

After paying taxes, there is only a little left, but it is to support a large family, and the life of every family is not easy.

When Bai Xia heard this, the doubts in his heart were answered, no wonder when they entered the village, they saw that the mountains in the village were bare, and there was no greenery at all.

That's right, it's better than the rest.

Most of the things left behind are nine out of ten.

"That'...... Is there still a field in this village? ”

Bai Xia asked.

When the village chief's daughter-in-law heard this, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Miss Xia wants to buy land?"

Bai Xia nodded.

"I came here to join my relatives, although I don't know why my relatives moved away, but I always have to look for it, this life, there is no land."

"I see that the village is vast and sparsely populated, and there should be a lot of land to come, so I want to buy some, but our family has children, and Uncle Hai is only one person, if he buys land, I am afraid that he will trouble the uncles and uncles in the village to help."

"But don't worry, auntie, don't let everyone help in vain, give food and money."

When the village chief's daughter-in-law heard Bai Xia's words, her eyes lit up.

If it weren't for the fear that her hands would be thick and dirty, catching her hands would be annoying, so I couldn't help but catch people and praise them raw.

"This land purchase is a big deal, and it has to be agreed by the clan elders in the village."

"I don't know how much Miss Xia wants to buy?"

Bai Xia and they look rich, but they are not rich, so although the village chief's daughter-in-law is happy that she wants to buy land, she is quite calm.

Bai Xia raised his hand and gestured with a "three" finger.

"Thirty acres?" The village chief's daughter-in-law asked, and at the same time felt the same in her heart.

"It's 300 acres"

Bai Xia shook his head and seriously corrected the words of the village chief's daughter-in-law.

"I just don't know how much this field is worth?"

"This ...... We have to ask our family head about this, and we have to ask the clan elders about so much land."

The village chief's daughter-in-law suppressed the excitement in her heart, and she couldn't wait to agree, but she was still a little sensible, knowing that this matter was not something that she could call the shots of a woman's family, even if she was so excited that she couldn't do it, she didn't agree.

Bai Xia picked up the bowl and took another sip of tea, it was bitter, astringent, and the taste was not good.

Even so, she took a big sip.

Seeing this, the village chief's daughter-in-law had a better impression of her in her heart.

"It just so happens that the head of my family is at the patriarch's, so I'll go talk to him and let him ask together."

The village chief's daughter-in-law couldn't sit still, and she really thought of 300 acres of land, how much silver did it cost?

And if they really buy it, they don't need people to plough the ground, hoe the grass, fertilize the fertilizer, and sow seeds, and they can't say that their village can really make a lot more inputs.

She just left, which was actually a bit rude.

But Bai Xia didn't mind.

"Miss, will they agree to let us stay?"

Bai Xia was followed by a six or seven-year-old girl, not tall, with a white and tender face, and only a slightly rough palm, which looked like she had done rough work.

This little girl is Qishan's sister, originally called Erni, because she wanted to follow Bai Xia out, she pretended to be Bai Xia's personal girl, changed her name, and called Yunshu.

The little girl liked this name very much, and before leaving, she specially asked someone to change her household registration to Yu Yunshu, wearing a cotton dress at the moment, looking at Bai Xia with a pair of big eyes, with a little worry in her eyes.

"Not necessarily"

"But now, it's very likely that you will agree."

"Of course, if they are fools, then that's a different story"

Bai Xia smiled, everything was under control.

Other villages may not agree, but Douer Village will.

Because this is the poorest village in these ten miles and eight townships, it is really so poor that it can't be opened.

I thought of the children I saw in the village, all of them were boys, not a single girl.

It is estimated that the family is poor, there are no clothes, and the male baby is not ashamed, so he can only cover the key position, and dare to run wildly.

Most of them still lie down at home, and only get up to do some housework when no one is at home.

I'm afraid I can't even get out of the door.

Sure enough, when the village chief's daughter-in-law arrived at the patriarch's house, she heard that the patriarch had rejected Bai Xia's proposal to keep them.

That silver horn also made the village chief go back.

"Why are you here?"

The village chief didn't have much hope in the first place, even if he said about the grain merchant, the patriarch didn't believe that a girl who was just about ten years old really had this ability.

In their opinion, those who can do the grain business are capable people.

On the contrary, he felt that they had bad intentions, and deliberately deceived them in order to stay.

As soon as the village chief's daughter-in-law saw his face, she knew that the matter had not been completed, and she was a little anxious for a while.

But the patriarch was an elder, and he couldn't be offended, so he pulled the village chief's sleeve, pulled the people outside, and told him about Bai Xia's desire to buy 300 acres of land.

The village chief frowned when he heard this: "Really? ”

"I think it's true"

Knowing that the patriarch would not agree so easily, she added, "Let them buy the land first, and then keep them to live" (end of this chapter)
