Chapter 38: : Became a landlord

Yichang: "Is it necessary to make it so troublesome? If you have that time, you might as well practice more."

“There is more than just cultivation in life. Isn’t it also a kind of cultivation to see more of different human natures?”

Shen Yizhi said casually.

However, Yi Chang felt that it made sense after hearing this, "You are right. I was too focused on cultivation in the past and ignored the people around me. As a result, I didn't know until I died that the woman who kept saying she loved me just wanted to Just get something from me."

Shen Yizhi didn't expect that he or she would have such an understanding after just saying it casually, and couldn't help laughing.

At the same time that the two people were communicating with each other, voting had already begun in the yard.

“Those who agree to sell an acre of land to Zhi Niang for three taels of silver, raise your hands,” said the village chief.

Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, Li Jingeng, Li Dongsheng and others all raised their hands.

The village chief counted 23 people in total and wrote five and a half straight characters on the paper.

“What about the four taels?”

We kept talking until the twelfth lunar month, when Mrs. Wang, Zhang Cuihua and others who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly raised their hands.

However, looking around, there were less than five people raising their hands.

Mrs. Wang suddenly became unhappy. This was different from what she thought.

The results came out, and Shen Yizhi returned to the yard.

The village chief picked up the counting paper and said, "Let me read it to everyone. Those who agree with three taels are twenty and three people; those who agree with four taels are thirty and seven people; those who agree with five taels are twelve people; six Two, three, seven taels, one person; eight taels, none; nine taels; none, ten taels... five people. So, that piece of land costs four taels per acre. Sold to Zhi Niang."

Mrs. Wang didn’t expect that she would still end up like this after having been making trouble for so long. She was immediately unconvinced and wanted to continue.

The village chief glanced at her with a sharp look, and she subconsciously shrank her neck and wilted.

But he gave Shen Yizhi a hard look.

I don’t know what kind of gift this little **** gave to the village chief’s family, and she actually asked the village chief to help her like this.

Shen Yizhi looked back calmly. It seemed that the last lesson had not taught this old lady how to be a good person. Should she help her again?

Her eyes were obviously non-threatening, and there was even a smile on her face, but Mrs. Wang's neck felt cold when she saw her, and she didn't dare to glare at her anymore.

The village chief ordered the two younger students on the spot, "Jin Geng, Dongsheng, you two go to Zhi's natal home and measure the land."

Those who have something good to do also go to watch the fun.

Not long after, Li Jingeng and others came back and said to the village chief: "Second Grandpa, the total land is four acres and three quarters."

The village chief nodded: "Okay, Zhi Niang, tomorrow morning, you will come with me to the county government office to transfer the land. Okay, everyone is gone, and you can go do whatever you need to do."

Zhang Cuihua said: "The price has been set and the land has been measured. Why don't you give me the money?"

She was just waiting for the money.

The village chief said angrily: "The ownership hasn't been transferred yet, why should I give you any money? It's all gone! It's gone!"

Several families who had the same thoughts as Zhang Cuihua had to leave reluctantly.

Early the next morning, Shen Yizhi carried Qing Bao, who was still awake, to the village chief's house, and rode their donkey cart to the county town.

Li Qingyun will drive the car.

Arrived at the county seat, Li Qingyun watched the car on the spot. The village chief took Shen Yizhi to the Yamen and went through the land transfer procedures.

Shen Yizhi remembered that Qing Bao had not registered yet, so she asked the village chief to issue a certificate and gave Qing Bao a name - Shen Moqing, and added it to her household registration.

The village chief asked hesitantly: "Zhi Niang, does Mr. Gu agree that Qing Bao will take your surname?"

"What else can he do if he doesn't agree? I worked so hard to raise Qing Bao alone. Did he, as a father, contribute anything? Master, don't worry. I told him about this, and he also agreed."

Shen Yizhi is now used to using Gu Xueting as a shield.

In this case, the village chief stopped persuading him.

After everything was settled, Shen Yizhi got a land certificate issued by the ancient government office.

“This must be put away, do you understand?” the village chief asked.

“Well, I’ll put it away right now.”

Shen Yizhi pretended to put things in his arms, but he actually put them into space. There is no place safer than space.

“Uncle, thank you very much this time. Let’s go. I’ll invite you and Yunzi to a restaurant for a big meal.”

The village chief waved his hands resolutely: "No! You spent a lot of money to buy the land this time, and you will build a house later. There are many places to spend money. Even if you have money, you have to save some money. After all, there will be a lot of money to spend in the future.”

"Uncle, don't worry. When Qingbao's father left, he left me a sum of money, which is enough for us and my wife. Besides, he only left temporarily, and it's not like he doesn't care about Qingbao and me. This I’ve ordered a meal, so be sure to honor it.”

She has already said this, what else can the village chief say? I had no choice but to respond.

But I made up my mind that when I got to the restaurant, I would just pick up the cheapest dish and order two.

Unfortunately, after arriving at the restaurant, Shen Yizhi took over the ordering task and ordered five or six dishes at once.

The village chief kept saying: "Zhi Niang, enough is enough. Even if we order so much, we can't finish it. Isn't it a waste?"

Li Qingyun also agreed: "That's right, Sister Zhizhi."

“You can eat it openly, but if you can’t finish it, you can pack it away, right?”

When the food arrived, Shen Yizhi handed chopsticks to the village chief and Li Qingyun, urging them to eat quickly.

The food in this restaurant is not as generous as in the countryside. The village chief and the two village chiefs said they couldn't finish it, and they all finished it in the end.

"Uncle, Yunzi, are you full? If not, I'll order a few more." Shen Yi knew.

“That’s enough, that’s enough. My belly is full.” The village chief touched his belly with satisfaction.

“Yeah, I can’t even walk.” Li Qingyun agreed with a smile.

After leaving the restaurant, Shen Yizhi said to the village chief: "Uncle, I have something else to do, so I won't go back with you."

“What do you want to do? We have a car, let Yunzi take it to you.”

"No, I think it will take a long time. You should go back first."

"What are you afraid of? Yunzi is fine anyway, we will just wait for you here."

The village chief's enthusiasm really made Shen Yizhi a little overwhelmed, and he smiled helplessly, "Uncle, there's really no need."

The village chief wanted to say something more, but was pulled by Li Qingyun, "Then... okay, you have to be careful with Qing Bao."

“Okay, I understand, don’t worry.”

On the way back, the village chief patted Li Qingyun and said, "Why did you pull me just now?"

“Master, can’t you see that Sister Zhizhi doesn’t want us to follow her? She has her own things to do, so let’s not cause any trouble.”

“You bastard, you are the best!” the village chief laughed and scolded him.

Shen Yizhi tapped Qing Bao's nose and said, "Okay, then mother will take our baby for a nice walk."
