Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1025 - 1027: You Want to Buy Land?
"Dad, let me go. Our family really doesn’t have any silver left. I’ll go check it out first. If it works, I’ll do it. If not, I’ll come back!"
Old An’s head was in a dilemma at this moment; what An Quan said wasn’t wrong at all. Their family had no silver left, and life was becoming unsustainable.
"Dad, I know what you mean. You’re afraid it’s dangerous. I’ll be careful. If I go to another place to work, it might not be possible to settle the silver quickly. This job is calculated daily, which is just right for our family."
Originally, it was decided that after this family of three left, An Quan would find some work to do. Now, it’s close to home and paid daily, which seemed perfect to him. He really wanted to go.
Seeing that An Quan was interested, the Village Chief continued, "Old An, I don’t think you need to think about it anymore. Just let the boy decide for himself. He’s not too young, after all, and knows his limits. He’s doing this for your family’s good, isn’t he?"
"This..." Old An was still very conflicted, but his heart was starting to waver, all due to the pressures of life.
He sighed and said, "Well, if you want to go, then go."
Hearing that his dad finally agreed, An Quan was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Uncle Village Chief, when should I go?"
"I’ll let you know once I’ve gathered ten people."
The Village Chief was quite cheerful at this point. He was helping the medical hall find people, and the medical hall had given him a little commission.
"Alright then, since you have guests, I’ll take my leave first."
The Village Chief was about to head out with his hands behind his back, but Xiaoxiao stopped him, "Village Chief."
Hearing it was that outsider, the Village Chief immediately turned back attentively and said, "What’s up? What do you need?"
Both Old An and An Quan were a bit surprised that Xiaoxiao stopped the Village Chief, not knowing what she was up to. But it felt just like the aura Yang Ming had when dealing with Old Zheng.
Xiaoxiao got off the kang and asked with a smile, "Village Chief, I wanted to ask if there’s still land available for purchase in Anyi Village?"
"You want to buy land?" A hint of surprise flashed in the Village Chief’s eyes; he found it hard to believe.
No one knew where this outsider was from, but how could they be interested in their land? Moreover, the land here wasn’t particularly good; otherwise, the village wouldn’t be so poor.
"Yeah, I want to buy land." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"How much do you want to buy?"
Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "About ten acres, is there any?"
Hearing that she wanted to buy ten acres of land, the Village Chief was even more overjoyed, "Yes, yes, yes! We don’t have top-grade land here, only middle and lower-grade land along with wasteland. Middle-grade land is seven taels per acre, lower-grade is four taels, and wasteland is just two taels."
Xiaoxiao thought that the land here was cheaper than in Yang Family Village, where her lowland cost her five taels.
"I want to use this land to grow napa cabbage. Which type of land do you think is most suitable?"
At this season, nothing seems suitable to plant except napa cabbage, because it’s about to enter the dog days, which is the time to plant cabbage.
"Growing napa cabbage? That requires good land. Luckily, there’s a piece of middle-grade land that’s suitable. Why don’t I take you to see it?"
The Village Chief couldn’t be bothered with finding people for the medical hall now; selling land was more important.
Xiaoxiao glanced at Yang Ming, who seemed to understand his wife’s intentions immediately. He then said, "Uncle An, Brother An, why don’t you come with me to see the land?"
Old An and An Quan were completely baffled but agreed, accompanying Yang Ming and the Village Chief to check out the land.
