Seeing her expressionless expression, Chen Yaren couldn't help but be surprised. Since the Su family came to Luohe Prefecture, he has seen every step in his eyes. He never thought that he would be rich enough to buy 40 acres in one breath. Liang Tian's eyelids didn't even blink!
However, his face remained calm, and he said, "If Miss Su really wants to buy it, what is the price you paid last time?" The 16 acres of land that you bought last time were bought at a price of sixty-two or five dollars. If it is the same The price is also reasonable.
You Jin nodded slightly: "So, Uncle Chen, when it's convenient for you, take the time to find the wasteland that can be bought nearby, and let's make an appointment to see it together again." Then he went out of his way.
This can be regarded as a big business. After Chen Yaren sent away the young gold, he hurried out of the city to find a suitable place, but in three or two days, he really found a barren hill in the sun, and then rushed to the Go to Su Jiaxiang to find You Jin: "Miss Su, when is it convenient for you, let's go and see?"
"Come on, let's go today!" Now that the dim sum shop was functioning normally, Young Jin went into the backyard to wash his hands, explained a few words to Young Yin, and then followed Chen Yaren away. .
Chen Yaren was a conscientious person, and the barren mountain he was looking for was not far from Houjiawan, just on the sunny hillside opposite the Su family's current land.
The two walked back and forth on the ground they wanted to see each other for a long time, and Chen Yaren pointed to the hillside in the direction of about a mile or two: "Miss Su, that is the wasteland I just told you about. The price is also suitable, one or two and a half silver per mu. But it is estimated that there is not much food to grow on the barren hills."
Youjin is really satisfied with this 40-acre piece of fertile land. It is all fertile land deposited by river water. Plus, it is close to water sources and official roads. Whether it is transportation or irrigation, it is very cheap.
Looking at the mountains to the north, You Jin clapped the dust on his hands: "In that case, let's go over and take a look first, with Uncle Lao Chen leading the way."
After getting out of the field and getting on the mule cart, it didn't take a while to walk more than a mile, and the mule cart was naturally faster. At this time, the snow on the barren hills has not yet melted, only the snow-covered trees stand, and everything next to them is already covered with snow.
Young Jin took a small hoe from the mule cart, which Chen Yaren had kept in the back of the mule cart for backup, and it came in handy at this time. I chose a place with shallow snow, and I waved my hoe vigorously. After a while, a small hole was dug out, and the original color of the land was exposed.
He dug out a small piece of hardened soil and pulled out his nose, which was a little red from the cold. He smiled and said, "It really is a wasteland. It is estimated that this soil will take a long time to clean up before it can be used."
Chen Yaren, who was on the side, didn't expect Young Jin to be so fierce, so he took a hoe and dug out a piece of land. Seeing what she said, he nodded again and again and said, "Indeed, if you buy this place, the girl is afraid that it will be abandoned, so why not? Should I buy more fertile land?" Chen Yaren had done business with the Su family many times, and naturally he wanted to do business for a long time, so he persuaded him so kindly.
Throwing away the frozen soil in his hand, he clapped his hands, then wiped his nose with the back of his hand, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I bought this place and it's really useful, but can you beat the price? Uncle Chen, you're used to it. In the world, it is natural to know that such a wasteland is given for nothing and no one wants it."
Chen Yaren pondered for a moment, then said, "So, I'll talk to Lizheng in Houjiawan later to see if I can lower the price."
"Sure, if I can get a tael of silver, then I'll buy another 50 acres and make up the whole thing." You Jin took the lead and walked down the mountain, saying, "I have Uncle Chen talk to Lizheng in Houjiawan, wait for this. It was also negotiated, and I bought all the 40 acres of land with this side."
"It's done! It's all up to me!" Chen Yaren smiled with joy just thinking that this transaction was made into the money he could earn.
I don't know if it was Chen Yaren's tongue-in-cheek tongue, or Houjiawan's Li just talking, and in the end he actually bought a hundred acres of barren hills in Houjiawan at the price of one or two silver per mu!
Seeing that there was a loss of more than 370 taels in his money box, the money earned by the dim sum shop a few years ago was taken away from the cost of buying the shop and buying people. Heart aches and pains.
However, this one breath added another 40 mu of fertile land. Now the family has 56 mu of fertile land and nearly 120 mu of wasteland. Even if there is no additional income, the profit from the land alone is not enough. will starve.
Thinking of this, Young Jin was in a much better mood. He hummed a little tune and locked the red deed into his own box that specially stored property deeds, land deeds, sales deeds and other documents, and then carefully hid them in the innermost of the cabinet before clapping his hands with satisfaction.
***
The Su family left Cuifeng Village and the Yue family. This year has really been a rich and comfortable year. Let's go back to Cuifeng Village, which is hundreds of miles away. This year's Yue family also had a happy year of reunion, at least from the outsiders' point of view.
Only two months after the mother and daughter of Youjin left the Yue family, the news that the two grandsons of the Yue family were admitted to Tongsheng spread all over Shili Baxiang, and the Yuejia, which had two young Tongsheng in one breath, instantly became the most popular in Shili Baxiang. famous people.
As for Yue Changlu, who chased away his wicked wife, the days are getting better and better. When he comes home every day, he hugs his precious son and refuses to let go. Since he has a son, Yue Changlu's waist is getting straighter and his face is getting straighter. The gloomy atmosphere above has also dissipated a lot.
Yue Youting's marriage was also booked, but it was not the Zhou Gongzi that she had been thinking of before, but the only son of a family in Liutun Town who owned a grocery store.
In addition to the good weather this year, the prosperity of the Yue family's land is much better than in previous years. The old Chen family, who has a little more money in his hands, sat on the kang in the main room, enjoying his children and grandchildren kowtowing to the New Year, and proudly told Yue Dafu. : "It's true that those few money-losing goods are our family's nemesis. As soon as they leave, Wen Tao and Wen Li have passed the Tong Sheng test, and You Ting has also ordered a good marriage!"
However, Wanniang and Xiao Chen, who made the mother and daughter of Youjin leave Cuifeng Village, were not so happy. After the second-room worker left, the rough and tiring work at home fell on the two of them. It took less than a year before and after. Wan Niang's hands, who were still as delicate as a flower, have grown rough, but she still has no way to do it. She fights wits and courage with Xiao Chen every day, and she really regrets it.
Han, who was kneeling on her head, heard the old Chen's remarks, and couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile. She was the only person in the family who still had contact with Youjin. She received a letter from Nanbian a year ago. A letter with a twenty tael bill in it.
In the letter, You Jin only mentioned that he had settled down in the south. Although he didn't mention it, he was able to take out 22 taels of silver and send it back to him. Presumably now, the Young Jin family lived in the south. It's ten times better than here, right
But in any case, now that there are no money-losing goods that "impede" their own luck, everyone in the Yue family has indeed had a good year. Old Chen and Yue Dafu are now only looking forward to the early high school of the two Jin Suns, so that their family can make a new appearance and enjoy happiness.
If the Yue family is the most unhappy, I am afraid that Yue Youting is the only one. Obviously she had already strongly opposed it, and even went on a hunger strike to protest, but grandpa still decided on the marriage: "This matter is up to me, even if it's settled, it can't be discussed again."
Yue Youting, who had been hungry for a few days until her face turned yellow, didn't expect this to end up in the end. She cried unwillingly and had to temporarily accept her fate. During the whole first month, there was only a reluctant smile on her face, and even the boy from the Chen family who had made a marriage appointment with her did not see a good face.
It was the first time that the Han family felt disgusted with the Yue family, who was bright on the face but a mess on the inside. After the seventh day of the first lunar month, he discussed it with Yue Changshou, and used the pretext of returning to the city to open a shop. I left Cuifeng Village early.
"Mother, will the lord give me a betrothal just like the eldest sister?" Sitting in the mule car, Yue Youhe snuggled up beside Han Shi, and asked worriedly: "Then Chen's family is too It's ugly..." Thinking of the pock-marked boy from the Chen family who wasn't tall enough for the big sister in the hall, Yue Youhe couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
Han patted her daughter's back soothingly: "No, even if your father thinks, mother will not agree." Although he comforted his daughter like this, Han was still a little uneasy in his heart, and decided to wait until he returned to the county seat. He began to show his daughter each other, and he must not let the Yue family delay her daughter's life.
Besides that Yue Youting, since she was a child, she felt that she was born beautiful, and she had seen such a handsome gentleman as Zhou Junpeng, how could she have wronged herself to marry a pockmarked dwarf
After thinking about it for several days, taking advantage of the fact that the family was not paying attention, he even stole Xiao Chen's body money for the reason of going out to visit.
"You're such an old man, you can't lose it if you lose it?" Yue Dafu, who was so angry that his beard was raised, sat on the kang, slapped the table heavily and scolded the old couple and his wife, "Come and find me soon. ?"
"Dad, I've searched all over. Someone in the village said that they saw her going to the town. The town is so big, how can I find it?" Run away from home.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen didn't have much anxiety on her face, and said, "Xu is that Youting is in a panic at home. She went to the county town to find You He to play, and she is not sure?" In fact, Yue Youting ran away from home in her opinion. It's not a bad thing. If the daughter is smart enough to go to the county seat to meet Zhou Gongzi, and cook the cooked rice with regenerated rice, then the marriage with the Chen family can naturally be cancelled, right
Yue's house was already in a mess. As for Yue Youting, who got on the mule cart and went to the county seat, she really met Zhou Junpeng.
As soon as she saw Zhou Junpeng, Yue Youting only wept silently. Zhou Junpeng looked at the girl with eyes in his arms, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that this was the girl from Yue Wentao's family, and then asked, "Miss Yue, why did you come to the county town all by yourself?"
Looking at Zhou Junpeng, who is like a zhilan and jade tree, and thinking about the dwarf winter melon with a pockmarked face, Yue Youting felt even more aggrieved, and a bold thought blurted out: "Zhou Gongzi, let's elope!"
It was not the first time that Zhou Junpeng heard from a woman that she was going to run away with him. He wrapped his arms around the beautiful woman's slender waist and said softly, "Miss Yue, it's really inconvenient to speak in public. Where do you live now? I'll take you back first?"
Seeing her shaking her head, Zhou Junpeng had to take her to the inn to open a room, then hugged her and comforted her softly, and then the atmosphere gradually became more charming.
Like a spring rui after the rain, her delicate and red face is nestled in the arms of her beloved, feeling the touch of being in close contact with the next two. No matter how inexperienced Yue Youting is, she also knows that she and Zhou Gongzi have done extremely well. Intimate thing: "Zhou Lang..."
As for the contented Zhou Junpeng, stroking her tender skin with satisfaction, he replied in a low voice, "Huh?"
"Let's get married! I only have you in my heart, and I don't want to marry anyone else!" Yue Youting felt disgusted when she thought of the Chen family son, she must never let her flower stick in cow dung.
But where does Zhou Junpeng want to marry her? If he wants to marry, he is also marrying the daughter of a scholarly family in the county, right? But now is the time of freshness, so naturally he coaxed Yue Youting: "Okay, let's get married, but before that, let's have a bridal chamber first!" Below, wantonly.
