Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1027 - 1029: I’m a Businesswoman, I Never Make a Losing Deal
Xiaoxiao’s words suddenly enlightened the Village Chief; it turns out it was to prevent An Quan from going up the mountain that the land was purchased.
The An Family really encountered someone generous; they suddenly spent seventy taels. It seems I should start buttering up to the An Family members in the future.
"Alright, since An Quan is going to plant that big cabbage, he won’t have time to go up the mountain to dig herbs."
The Village Chief turned to look at An Quan again, "An Quan, go with me tomorrow to handle the land deed matter; I’ll come call you in the morning."
"Ah, okay." At this moment, although An Quan agreed, he was still in a completely bewildered state.
"Then I’ll be off; Elder An, your family has really met someone generous, huh."
The Village Chief said as he was leaving the house, not forgetting to express his amazement.
Elder An sent the Village Chief out of the house just like that and hurried back inside, because he was also feeling quite bewildered at the moment.
Once inside, he quickly asked, "Children, what are you doing? Spending seventy taels to buy land just like that?"
The land purchase was indeed a spontaneous decision by Xiaoxiao; she didn’t want the An Family to go up the mountain. She had just come down from that mountain and almost didn’t make it.
She clearly knew how dangerous that mountain was. If the An Family were to lose another son because of it, they might not be able to bear it.
But if they were directly given land or Silver, they would never accept it.
So Xiaoxiao came up with the idea to buy the land herself and let the An Family manage it.
Was she doing it out of kindness?
Actually, she wasn’t that great-hearted. If it were her own Silver, she’d definitely be hesitant about spending seventy taels just like that. But since the three hundred taels came freely, she didn’t need to think twice.
She was merely doing a favor with someone else’s Silver.
Moreover, the Silver wouldn’t go to waste, since as long as something is planted on the land, it would grow more Silver.
"You bought it to prevent An Quan from going up the mountain, didn’t you? Uncle really doesn’t know what to say. How could we be worth such concern from you?" Elder An’s tone was somewhat emotional, and his face was full of gratitude.
An Quan couldn’t say a word.
"Uncle An, I am indeed worried about Brother An going up the mountain. It’s too dangerous up there. My husband and I just escaped from the jaws of wolves."
"Child, you didn’t have to buy land for that; we simply wouldn’t go."
Xiaoxiao pressed her lips into a smile, "Uncle, I’m a businesswoman, and I don’t do unprofitable deals. The land here is cheap, much cheaper than in other places."
"This..." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
"Uncle An, have you heard of the national dishes, sauerkraut and spicy cabbage? They’re both made from Chinese cabbage. It’s about to be the peak season soon, which is perfect for planting cabbage. I’m going to find some land and specially plant cabbage to earn Silver."
"I’ve heard about it. The ban was just lifted at the beginning of the year, and we were planning to plant cabbage in our vegetable garden to sell in winter."
Indeed, the village had this idea, but no one had ever said they would plant cabbage on farmland, because farmland was used for growing grains. Regardless of what they lacked, they couldn’t lack grains, as it was their yearly ration.
"Most families plant grains, and by the time they harvest the grains, it’s too late to plant cabbage. Even if they want to sell it, they can only sell a small garden’s worth, not much at all. If I plant a large area, I can earn a lot, especially since the buyers are my sister and brother-in-law’s family."
She had left too hastily and forgot to explain about planting cabbage to her family. She wasn’t sure if Chu Lian would remember to plant it. He should, right? He’s such a clever person.
