They also found some fields for the family to set up there. When the Village Officer couple heard it, their eyes did not look so strange. Sis, can we not reveal our wealth? "It's the same as when we bring the cow back. Those people will be extremely jealous once we have the cow. If it wasn't for you, elder sister, being so good, they would have already snatched the cow away from us."
When the little Fifth Sister came back and talked to Chen Nianran alone about this, Chen Nianran fell silent.
"Ah …" The little Fifth Sister became excited again as she rubbed her hands together, "Sis, our family... Are you really going to buy a shop in town? You don't know, every time I see a family with a shop in town, I'm always envious. I've been thinking, if only our family had a shop like that, how nice it would be! Unfortunately, this shop isn't something you can have as much as you want. I heard that just one shop in our town cost a few hundred taels of silver. Especially the place away from the dock, I heard it's even more expensive. It's not easy to buy. I heard that the store there is extremely pretty. "
Chen Nianran was amused, she glanced at her, "Little brat, where did you hear all this news? I still don't know the market situation in that town, so you know it very well. "
Being treated like a little kid by her sister, the little Fifth Sister was a little displeased, "Sis, you're good at everything, but always treat me like a little girl. I'm not young anymore, but I'm only four years younger than you. Sister, I can help you with whatever you want to say, I heard it from Da Lang and that Liu Sheng in the east market. You don't know, when the two of them got together, they talked a lot. "Hee hee …"
Seeing that the little Fifth Sister was anxious to prove herself, Chen Nianran also fell into deep thought. That's right, having these two girls wasn't the same thing. The best was to let them grow up and raise them as if they were men.
Even if he married out in the future, he wouldn't be bullied like an ordinary woman.
"Little Wu, since you want to be an independent woman, Big Sis will not stop you. However, Sister will have to reveal all of this. If all you want is... A woman like Xiao Yu'er in our village, you have to listen to your elders' orders, choose a man who is similar to you, marry him, then have children together with him, circle around your husband, be pampered by him, or whatever your husband says, you can only agree to it. In short, you have no need to learn these words and go out to do things for your husband. "
Xiao Yu'er was the youngest daughter of the village's Liu family. She was beautiful, a village.
Yu Er's wedding wine was the place where they had eaten at home a few days ago.
In the past, the people Fifth Sister loved the most were people like Xiao Yu.
"Actually, Little Yu is just like a woman like our mother. After the marriage, everything followed the husband, and the only son was the clump. I have to listen to my dad, regardless of what my dad and little brother did right or wrong. I just listen to them. Such a life is not what I want. Sis, I don't want to be such a woman. "I want to be someone like you, big sis, so you want me to say that I can read, right?"
This girl did not have any thoughts of making a different story, so Chen Nianran smiled as if she was comforted by her words. Well, because we have to live like men. If you want to be independent and strong, then you lack the gentleness of a girl who is originally attached to a man. In other words, we lose something, but we also gain more self-reliance. After all, I did well in my daughter's house, so I can't underestimate that man too much. My good Fifth Sister, from now on, you will be our Wulang. "Heehee …"
After being made fun of by her, Fifth Sister felt embarrassed again. She pinched her, raising her hand high, but at the same time, the two of them fell down and became a mess. Enough, "the little Fifth Sister clenched her fist," Sis, we must live well. Let us mother see how you are like, make them look down on us, hmph! "
Chen Nianran was so amused by her that she shook her head and started to do the work she was doing.
The next day, Chen Nianran found Huang De An and had him go to the town to deliver a message to Chen Ziming and his wife, telling them to pay attention to the shop in the town.
Having a shop was something that would not go down the drain sooner or later.
Even if she didn't do business at the moment, she could still rent out the shop. Speaking of which, this was real estate.
Thinking about how it would only take ten days of hard work, Chen Nianran felt satisfied.
This was because even shops that were positioned well had to be paid careful attention to, so Chen Nianran never would have thought to place them down so quickly. It was just a matter of getting people to watch out for him. As for Tian Tian, a few days later, Village Officer really came back to his house.
"That Xu family of the Dong Zhuang family, because something happened to my family, I heard that they will sell almost twenty acres of land. I thought that the quantity you bought was similar to this, so I came to inform you and vent my anger." If you have such a plan, then just wait and see. " Village Officer smoked his pipe as he said these words to Huang Dean.
Because the person who came was a man, so Chen Nianran was just sitting inside the house. Huang De An raised his head, and seeing that Chen Nianran had nodded, she agreed, "Middle, why don't we go and take a look at the fields now? |
Village Officer did not expect them to be so straightforward, so he nodded and brought them over to take a look.
Although the woman would not easily show her face, when Chen Nianran thought of these fields, no matter what, they would become the first assets of her family to grow rich. Little Fifth Sister and Little Sister were even more restless. When they heard that they were going to look at each other, they also followed along.
Although they didn't have much experience looking at each other, their natures and love to join in the fun made them want to join in the fun.
Chen Nianran wasn't very experienced with fields, but Huang De An had experience.
When he was at home, it could be considered a good way to play, but looking at it now, Chen Nianran allowed him to lead the way. As for the key issue, it was up to her.
The group went to call for the Xu Family. A man surnamed Xu came out with an old man of about sixty years of age, followed by two sons one after the other.
When the old man saw everyone, he greeted Village Officer first and then met with Huang De An and the rest.
When everyone agreed that they were going to take a look, the Old Xu Tou brought everyone to the field in front of them.
On the way, Old Xu Bing and Huang Dean discussed the matter of crops. The two of them had been discussing the cultivation experience of certain crops.
Along the way, they had chatted and laughed happily with each other. From their conversation, Huang Dean found out that the reason the Old Xu Tou wanted to sell so many lands in one go was because his family was going to study there.
Old Xu Tou used to be a merchant, but he had made a name for himself and bought over 100 mu of land in his family.
Later on, he grew old and his business went downhill. For some other reason, he came back to his hometown in the countryside, where his family lived on a hundred acres of land. Although they were not the wealthiest family in the village, they were still considered one of the top families.
When the Old Xu Tou was in his forties, he gave birth to an old man. His youngest son was a treasure of the heart, and he was raised to be a successful student.
It was said that his brain was also wise. In order to study in the county, he had to receive praise from his teacher. The reason why Old Xu Tou wanted to sell this land was because he wanted to put the old man into the county academy to study before the Elementary Scholar exam.
Hearing that, Chen Nianran's eyes lit up. They were all of low quality, only able to read books. Whether it was the people in the country or the people in the city, they all saw this book as a huge matter to be taken care of.
In the countryside, if one wanted to study in the county, the expenses incurred would not be something that an ordinary person could bear.
No wonder this Old Xu Tou wanted to sell his land to raise his son. Perhaps … what about his other son?
She swept a glance at the other two sons of Old Xu Tou. However, it was that Old Xu who seemed to have a dark complexion. It was obvious that he was unhappy, and the women who followed him in looked even more displeased. From this, it could be imagined how difficult it was for the family to support a scholar. This kind of Old Xu also made Chen Nianran think of her worthless little brother.
He wondered if Chen Nianzu, who shook his head and thought that he was good at reading, would agree if the foolish old lady at home, asked him to go to the county to study instead.
With this thought, everyone came to Tian Tou.
This time, Old Xu Tou was going to sell ten acres of paddy fields and ten mu of land.
In this period of time, the market price of the paddy field was not bad. The price was 10 taels of silver per mu of rice.
Since the land is ripe, the price is nine taels of silver per mu.
If he ate all twenty acres, he would have a hundred and ninety silver taels.
In addition to the written agreement, there was also some silver that helped Village Officer. He reckoned that he would be out of two hundred and twelve silver.
However, as long as the land was good, this little bit of silver wouldn't be a problem to earn back.
Also, the field is a long-term solution. With these in hand, you don't have to worry about your future livelihood.
They looked at each other. These ten acres of paddy field was not small in size. Even a single paddy field was a bit better in size. One of the fields even looked like an acre. In a paddy field like this, it was easier and easier to do work.
