Chapter 192： promise to buy land

"That's enough! Wait until you pay back the accommodation money before you say anything like this again!" Qiu Tongsheng turned around and went into the house to pack his luggage.

Ms. Qiu Zhang followed her in and kept blocking her, "You can't leave! We won't leave until the next door leaves, so we'll stay here!"

Qiu Tongsheng said expressionlessly: "I want to keep you here, but I can't afford to lose face."

"Hey! I said you are really stupid at studying! How much is face worth? We have to pay for our own expenses when we go back now. We can save a lot by following them. Why don't you think about it?" Ms. Qiu Zhang was so angry. Stomp your feet.

Qiu Tongsheng suddenly looked at Mrs. Qiu Zhang, with suppressed anger in his eyes, "You all know this truth, why don't you have a good relationship with others? Now that you have offended everyone to death, you still have the nerve to go with them. Have you ever asked them what they mean? Have you agreed?"

"Why don't we agree! We all came together, what's wrong with leaving together? I am me, you are you, and you didn't provoke them, why didn't they take you?" Ms. Qiu Zhang said her fallacy confidently.

Qiu Tongsheng felt tired and no longer wanted to talk to her. He simply packed up his things and strode out with his baggage on his back.

Qiu and Zhang stopped him all the way.

Xu Nuoshan and the other three happened to see this scene when they came back.

Hua Yongnian looked away and pretended not to see it. Gong Haining stepped forward and asked with concern: "Brother Qiu, what are you doing?"

Qiu Tongsheng looked embarrassed.

Qiu Zhang was angrily and told Butler Zhu about driving them away.

Gong Haining did not think that Butler Zhu would do such a thing. He must have something hidden. He did not follow Qiu Zhang's words at the moment, but asked his entourage to inquire.

Qiu Tongsheng's expression changed slightly, and after a period of complex psychological activities, he finally reprimanded Qiu Zhang and informed them of the actual situation, "My mother behaves like this. I really have no shame in staying here. Besides, I should have failed to be admitted as a scholar this time." Go back and continue studying hard, and come back in two years. When do you plan to go back?”

When Qiu Zhang heard the last sentence, she immediately looked at Gong Haining and the others, her eyes burning, and she was about to speak.

Gong Haining then said with a smile: "My father found some connections to let me study in Quzhou Academy. I won't go back this time, and the same goes for Brother Yongnian."

In this way, only Xunuoshan was left, and Qiu Tongsheng was a little embarrassed.

Xu Nuoshan didn't have much reaction. He just said: "I also want to stay in Fucheng to study and won't go back for the time being."

Mrs. Qiu Zhang's face darkened, and she immediately said mockingly, "Huh! If you don't want to go with us, just say so. Who are you fooling? With your family's meager wealth, do you want to stay in Fucheng and enjoy the northwest wind?"

“You don’t have to worry about this!” The voice of the promise sounded behind everyone.

Xu Nuoshan turned around suddenly and frowned, "Why are you back so early?"

Xu Nuoyan smiled and explained: "I spent four taels of silver to buy a piece of land near Dongli Villa, and I stopped by today to get the land deed."

He promised the land deed and soon received it in his arms, "Let's go back to Aniang to discuss how to build a house. The second young master's workshop has bricks and tiles, and we can buy them from the second young master."

The more he said the promise, the happier he became, and Qiu Zhang's face became more and more gloomy.

Gong Haining and Hua Yongnian both congratulated the brothers and sisters.

The four of them entered Xiyuan together and left the Qiu family mother and son in the same place.

Qiu Tongsheng said nothing and strode away without looking back, carrying his luggage. Ms. Qiu Zhang had no choice now. She gnashed her teeth and stamped her feet, shouting, "Son, wait for me, I'll go pack my things!"

The Xu brothers and sisters returned home.

Xu Nuoshan immediately closed the courtyard door and pulled Xu Nuoyan into the house, "Little sister, how can you be so bold and not even say a word about buying land!"

Xu Nuoshan was really frightened, and his expression was particularly serious.

Mrs. Zhou didn't know why. She only found out what Xu Nuoyan had done after seeing the land deed. She felt dizzy at the moment, "You, you, you, I won't let you keep the city, so why don't you kill me first and then show off? You really have hard wings." I can’t control you anymore!”

Xu Nuoyan sighed helplessly, "Auntie, brother, I'm really determined to stay here to make money, so don't say anything. Isn't the brother trying to find a way to enter Qushan Academy? If the brother goes in, we will be in the right place. Let’s stay together in Fucheng and have a companion.”

"You said it's quite easy! Qushan Academy only accepts a few students every year! Those who can get in are either well-connected at home or the proud ones of heaven. I don't have any connections, and I'm not the one with the best grades. It's not easy to get in!" This matter seemed to weigh heavily on Xu Nuoshan's heart.

Xu Nuoyan also fell silent at the moment.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't get involved, so she looked at Xu Nuoyan and said, "Let's not talk about your eldest brother. You, a girl, didn't even tell us about buying land. What if you are cheated?"

Xu Nuoyan took Madam Zhou's arm flatteringly, "I asked Young Master Yang to help me buy it. How could I be deceived?"

"Huh?" Mrs. Zhou and Xu Nuoshan looked at each other in surprise, and both looked at Xu Nuoyan.

"Master Yang bought it for you? Didn't he say anything?" Xu Nuoshan asked tentatively.

Xu Nuoyan shook his head, "When I was going out, I passed by the workshop and saw him working there. I went in and talked about our family's situation, and then asked him if he knew where the land nearby was cheap and safe.

He said he would help me inquire about it, and there was news the next day. There was Xinghua Village next to Dongli Villa. It used to be a village owned by a wealthy family. Later, something happened to the owner of the village, and the village was taken over by the government and later used to house refugees.

The refugees settled there, and gradually it became what is now Xinghua Village. All the villagers in the village have different surnames. We will not be excluded when we buy land and build houses there. This is not the case in other villages, which are more exclusive.

More importantly, you have to go to the government office to buy the land in that village. One acre of wasteland costs 400 yuan. The government office said that if you buy the wasteland to build a house, you must buy a few more acres of good land to grow food. Otherwise, they won't buy it. One acre of good land costs 100 yuan. Two taels of silver, one and a half for paddy fields. I thought that since my eldest brother is a scholar now, we don’t have to pay taxes on the food in our fields, so it doesn’t matter if we buy a few acres of land, right? "

Xu Nuoshan was speechless for a moment after hearing his sister's thoughts.

Mrs. Zhou panicked, "Yanyan, your idea is good, but have you ever thought about who will plant the land when our family buys it? It's okay for my mother to go fishing in the sea, but I really can't do it if you ask me to go to the fields with a hoe. ! Don’t make a mess if the food isn’t harvested by then!”

Xu Nuoshan nodded seriously, "Little sister, I can't do it either!"

Xu Nuoyan let out a breath, "I don't plan to let you go to the fields! Anyway, our land doesn't have to pay taxes. When the time comes, we can lease it to the villagers for farming, and our family will collect the rent, and we can also save money on buying food. Is it not good?"

Mrs. Zhou was helpless, "It seems like you have thought of everything!"

Xu Nuoyan nodded vigorously, "I not only bought the land, but also ordered bricks and tiles from Young Master Yang. Young Master Yang said that he was developing a kind of brick recently, but it has not been tested. I don't know how effective it is. He can use that brick He gave us a room for free, and in exchange, I agreed to let him use the room for experiments, and I agreed.”

Ms. Zhou was so shocked that she took a long time to squeeze out a few words, "You are really..."

“It leaves people speechless!” Xu Nuoshan added.

They can say Xu Nuoyan is fooling around, but what can they do if Yang Erdan starts fooling around with him? Admit it!
