Chapter 97 Lao Wang's family buys land

Mrs. Wang silently moved to the side to prevent Village Chief Hu from spraying another sip of water.

She said lightly: "You heard right, we are going to buy 500 taels of land. How much public land is there in the village? If it's not enough, it's the same for us to buy in other villages."

"Enough is enough, why is it not enough." Village Chief Hu measured in his heart for a while, and then said, "What kind of land do you want to buy? There are still hundreds of acres of land in the village."

The worst one acre of land needs 2 taels of silver, as long as 500 taels of land is naturally enough.

"I only want the first-class fields, not the second-class ones, and the other ones are fine." Mrs. Wang thought, the patron saint behind Xiao Ayu said that he wanted 500 taels of land, and it should be good if you think about it, God must be sure Not to look at the general ground.

And Mrs. Wang has made up her mind that the high-quality grain that Xiao Ayu gave her will be planted in these high-quality fields.

Originally, Mrs. Wang was still a little unhappy in her heart. She always felt that using Ayu's water was not good, but now these lands were bought by the patron saint, so it was equivalent to Ayu's land. She used her water for her land. Naturally, it makes sense.

But Mrs. Wang had to think about how to tell her family, so that other people could not suspect Ayu too much, let alone let the villagers know what happened.

As the saying goes, people in the village will naturally want their family to live a good life, but they must not be too good.

Mrs. Wang didn't even think about giving the money to the villagers. She wasn't so generous yet.

As for Ayu's divine water, it's even more impossible. If she could, she would rather Ayu hide the water forever, as if there was none.

"Do you want fertile land?" Village Chief Hu was a little troubled. "Our village now has only 80 mu of fertile land, of which 50 mu are not allowed to be traded. The government has already sent tenant farmers over two days ago, you know. , just under the village entrance by the river."

The price of first-class fertile fields is the most expensive, now it is 10 taels per mu, the price of second-class fields is 6 taels, the price of third-class fields is 3 taels, and the price of mountains is 2 taels.

Village Chief Hu and Mrs. Wang discussed it, and Village Chief Hu decided to sell 30 mu of land in the village to Mrs. Wang. Here is 300 taels of silver.

The remaining 200 taels of silver will be deducted from the handling fee, so it cannot be used to buy land.

If you still want to buy first-class fields, you can still buy about 15 mu.

"If you don't mind the trouble, I can go to the village next door to walk around. There are also many fields in Dahe Village next door. They are near the river, and the good fields are better than those in our village."

Actually, there are quite a few in Shanyang Village, but Village Chief Hu doesn’t plan to interact with people from Shanyang Village.

That's really bad folk customs, if you can't make friends, you won't make friends.

Mrs. Wang directly put the 500 taels in front of the village chief: "You are the village chief, I will listen to you, please do it. This is 500 taels, and I have decided on 30 acres of land in the village. Now, I will trouble you to talk about it in Dahe Village, you can buy as much as you can, and you will have to make a trip for the various documents."

"It's all from the same village, so it's an outsider."

Mrs. Wang thought about the remaining 50 taels of silver, and then took out another 20 taels to do errands for Village Chief Hu.

Village Chief Hu got the 500 taels, and his hands trembled.

This is a real 500 taels of silver!

But he still had to go to the money shop in the town, put out the money first, and then did it in the town by the way.

If it is done properly, maybe they can earn a few more acres of land for their Lao Wang family.

If Mrs. Wang didn't mention any favors for Village Chief Hu now, Village Chief Hu didn't care about it at all.

Usually, village chief Hu did not teach these rules of gift giving. The people in the village are not rich, so how can they afford to scrape oil.

But the villagers will not let him do things for nothing. Those who have money will give him some money, and those who have things will also give him some things.

"By the way, these lands in our village are registered under the name of the fourth child, and those outside the village are registered on Ayu's head." Mrs. Wang said.

These words really surprised Village Chief Hu.

"You want to be registered on Lao Si's head, I can still understand, but what is it like to be registered on Ayu's head? There are no women in our village who own land."

What Village Chief Hu said is the truth. In the current Dachang Kingdom, women basically have no assets in their names, and people will not register their assets in women's names.

Of course, whether those dignitaries will leave assets for women, that is another question.

Village Chief Hu has only one young granddaughter in his family. The young granddaughter is still at a lively and lovely age, so he does not have a particularly serious dislike for girls.

But the phenomenon of despising women is very common, including the fact that the property is not passed on to women, unless it is a deprived household or a female household.

Mrs. Wang only said, "A Yu earned all the money in the family. It would be fine to register all the land in her name, but that would be too ostentatious."

"Did Ayu really earn it?"

"Is it good for me to lie to you?" Mrs. Wang asked rhetorically.

“…”

Village Chief Hu thought of the incomparably large giant python, which is still an unsolved mystery in the village.

In fact, if the old Wang family hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe that a girl who looked like two years old killed such a huge python.

But there are already faint rumors in the village that Xiao Ayu was sent by God to save their village.

That is the lucky baby of their village, everyone should love and protect him.

didn't take her as an ordinary girl at all.

She can earn 500 taels, which is pretty normal to think about—a big jerk!

is too bizarre!

"Don't tell other people about the lands outside the village, as long as we know." Mrs. Wang did not wait for Village Chief Hu to ask questions, and said, "Those lands are registered under Ayu's name, so that we will avoid trouble in the future."

Mrs. Wang thought that if Ayu grew up, she would treat those lands as Ayu's dowry.

The land will always exist. As long as Ayu has not committed any serious crime of looting and exterminating the family, those lands will be left to her forever, and even passed on forever.

"Don't worry, I won't talk too much about this, but I don't know if there are any crops growing in the fields outside. If you don't, you still have to do so, and then others will know about it. ?” Village Chief Hu analyzed, “Your family has the largest population and sufficient labor force, but if you want to plant so many acres of land all at once, you will be exhausted, and you will always have to find someone.”

Mrs. Wang said, "This will also trouble the village chief. The outside fields will continue to be planted according to the outside rules. Let's get as many crops as we can. Let's first arrange the village grounds before we talk about it."

Mrs. Wang had already thought about it for a long time. Villagers in the public land could not plant it casually, but the villagers’ land could be rented to other villagers for cultivation.

The family immediately bought 30 mu of fertile land in Hujia Village, and they will naturally grow these fields in the future.

If the ordinary fields at home cannot be planted, they will be handed over to other people in the village, and everyone will give some food if they want, as long as the land is not deserted.

Mrs. Wang probably said her thoughts, and then Village Chief Hu went to work.

In the end, he held back his curiosity and did not ask how Xiao Ayu earned so much money.

Lao Wang's family finally made a fortune. Although he was a little envious, he still knew that it was their way of making money.

But before Mrs. Wang left, she still said to him, "Doctor Hu knows how our family got the money. The weather is so good now that the door is still there."

Recently, Mrs. Wang didn't plan to let Xiao Ayu go to the mountains to find that truffle. She was afraid that it was the luck of the child.

Lao Wang's family got up too fast, and it would be bad for the child's luck.
