Everyone in the Wellhead Village thought that Jin Xiaolou had gone mad.
But only after Jin Xiaolou received the land deed did her heart calm down, as if she wasn't afraid of anything.
The acre of land was at the foot of a hill far from the village, near the water source, and the land was fertile.
Jin Xiaolou had originally wanted to take a look at the situation of the land today, but now, she wanted to find out what kind of burden Lin'er had added to the mix.
Housekeeper Gao was really an unscrupulous butler. After throwing the Silly Young Master in his house to Jin Xiaolou, he didn't even want to stay in the village for even a moment longer. It was as if the dust in the village would dirty his clothes, and he immediately set off.
The villagers also dispersed, leaving only the family of Jin Family and a good-looking fool who had suddenly appeared.
This idiot was clearly an abandoned gigantic baby. Jin Family people were not stupid, and would not suffer a loss. They would not do something like raising a giant baby for nothing.
The smile blossomed on her face, and her tone was still as stiff as ever: "Jin Xiaolou, since you're already married, then we don't need to care about your food from now on. You also have your own land, you can grow your own food."
The Madame Wu continued unhurriedly: "But, you don't have a house, so you have to live in our Jin Family. That thatched cottage can be used by you, but you have to work for us."
Was this the meaning of wanting to divide the family and not willing to give up any opportunity to exploit them?
Before Jin Xiaolou could say anything, Silly Young Master picked up a pile of mud and threw it at him.
The mud was smelly and wet, the black mud was sticky, and just in time, it hit Madame Wu on the head.
"Hiss …" The few people from the Jin Family sucked in a cold breath. Ever since the old man from the Jin Family died and the Madame Wu became their home, no one dared to be so impudent towards her.
Sure enough, Madame Wu's face turned green, she raised his walking stick and was about to smash it onto Silly Young Master's body.
The Silly Young Master did not know how to dodge, and looked like he was about to be hit in the head by the rod.
Jin Xiaolou's heart was in a rush, she immediately wanted to pull him, but who knew that at the very last moment, he would stoop down and pull at the weeds by the side of the road, then immediately jump up to stand next to Jin Xiaolou. She extended her hand, revealing her cupped palm, like an innocent child, her eyes shone brightly, and happily said to Jin Xiaolou: "Look, there are crickets!"
He then saw a thumb-sized dark green cricket appear in the middle of his palm.
Jin Xiaolou heaved a sigh of relief.
Madame Wu thought that she would definitely hit him and used all of her strength. However, due to the sudden movement of the Silly Young Master, he missed, and her feet became unsteady, as she rushed forward unsteadily.
If Jin Shou, who was by his side, was not quick enough to grab her by the waist, he would have fallen quite hard.
Seeing that Madame Wu was about to flare up again, Jin Xiaolou quickly pulled him behind and raised her voice to Madame Wu, "Grandmother, I promise you!"
"What!?" Madame Wu was furious beyond words, and she was unable to regain her senses for a while.
Jin Xiaolou continued to speak: "I agree with everything you say, from now on, I will live in a thatched cottage with this young master, and I can promise to help you with your work no matter what, but we have to establish a written contract."
"Book?" Madame Zhou rolled her eyes, his face full of color, "Do you know what a written document is?"
Jin Xiaolou did not care about the mockery in Madame Zhou's words, and her eyes became serious, "I need Jin Family to create a branch family and a lease of the house."
Seeing the people in front of them looking at each other, Jin Xiaolou slowly said: "First, from today onwards, I, Jin Xiaolou, have no relation with your Jin Family, so you all three of us do not need to bear the consequences of our food and clothing. Naturally, all our income will not be distributed to you either."
Jin Xiaolou was confident that with her knowledge, in addition to that one acre of land, she would definitely lead a better life than any other family with Wellhead Village. She was worried about the morals of Jin Family, and wanted to completely get rid of all connections with them and avoid these scoundrels.
Jin Xiaolou continued: "Secondly, because we don't have a house right now, we need to rent the thatched cottage beside the Jin Family pig pen. Because I currently have no money at all, I would work hard to make up for the rent, but after this, I will no longer work for your Jin Family.
This was a rented house, Jin Xiaolou would not let herself suffer, and would not take advantage of others. She did not have a house right now, and lived in Jin Family's thatched cottage, so even though the thatched cottage was broken, it was at least a place to stay. But she would not work for them forever.
Although there were many new words in Jin Xiaolou's speech that Madame Wu had never heard before, but Madame Wu understood what Jin Xiaolou meant.
The Madame Wu did not believe that Jin Xiaolou had the ability to be self-sufficient. In any case, that rundown thatched cottage was empty, so she swept Jin Xiaolou out of the door. He did not need to care about her food, he just wanted her to work for him.
Madame Wu immediately agreed to such a good thing. "Alright, go home and let Gui Qi write out this piece of paper."
Saying that, he carried the silver and left. As he turned around, he laughed coldly: "Humph, income? You won't die from hunger. "
"Hold on!" Jin Xiaolou chased after him. She had been worried for a long time, and now she could no longer endure it, "Where is Lin'er?"
