Uncle Zhang was so shocked that he couldn't help but blurt out: "Have you thought about it? It will cost dozens of taels of silver to rebuild the house."
Yuan Qiu nodded with a smile: "I don't have enough money now, but I will have enough soon. You don't have to worry about this."
Uncle Zhang looked incredulous. This was dozens of taels of silver, not just a few taels of silver or hundreds of copper coins.
"Uncle, I want to ask you something. Does the title deed of the house we live in include the yard as well? Or is it just the house?"
Uncle Zhang came to his senses. He grinned and said: "Of course it's just the title deed of the house. Most of the yards are circled by oneself behind the big guys. In the mountains, it's not a big deal to circle some courtyard walls, as long as it doesn't go too far."
Yuan Qiu thought so. The original owner's father was once separated to live alone when the family was separated. Now the land where the house is located is a homestead purchased separately. Look at the virtues of the eldest and third eldest son of the Xia family. As the second eldest son, Daddy Xia How is it possible to get benefits? If you can have money to buy a piece of land to build a house, it is good. It is impossible to spend additional money to buy land for the yard. What's more, the yards of the big guys in the village are all white circles. His father is not stupid, so why would he spend money to buy it
"Uncle Zhang, if I want to expand my homestead, who should I buy the land from?" The situation is different now. There must be an underground river outlet under the backyard. As long as it is dug, it will be like digging out a cornucopia. Such fertile land, if If you hold it in your hand that is not certain, it will definitely arouse people's jealousy and cause trouble.
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he was shocked again. According to his opinion, although the Yuanqiu family's house is not big, there are only two siblings in the family. It is enough to live in it, so why expand it
"If you want to buy a homestead, just ask the village chief. He will come to your door to measure the land for you, and then help you go to the government office to go through the formalities. You can get the title deed in more than ten days." Although he was surprised, Uncle Zhang still followed the truth. According to him, Yuan Qiu seemed to have more ideas than before, and seemed to be a different person. She probably wouldn't listen to what he said, so she might as well stop talking nonsense.
"If I want to buy the front yard and back yard together, how much will it cost?" Yuan Qiu asked again.
Uncle Zhang made a rough calculation and said: "Your front yard is not big, but the back yard is a little bigger. I guess five taels of silver is enough."
After asking a few more questions, the oxcart swayed back to Xipo Village. As soon as they pulled the siblings into the village, before they reached the door of the house, Aunt Zhang rushed up in a hurry and stopped Uncle Zhang's oxen. He got out of the car and shouted at Yuan Qiu: "Miss Qiu, you didn't commit anything when you went to town today, right?"
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "No, what's wrong, Aunt Zhang?"
Aunt Zhang looked confused, pointed in the direction of Yuan Qiu's house, and said, "That's strange. Since nothing was committed, why are there officials guarding your door?"
Official errand? Yuan Qiu thought of Chen Mingjie who he accidentally rescued today. His father was the magistrate of Pingtung County. Could it be that he was sent by Master Chen? Could it be that something happened to Chen Mingjie again? Thinking of this, she quickly jumped out of the bullock cart and hurried towards home.
Aunt Zhang followed her and said hurriedly: "Yuan Qiu, we really didn't do anything, right?"
Yuan Qiu shook his head and smiled at Aunt Zhang: "Aunt, it's okay."
Seeing that she could still laugh, Aunt Zhang was even more excited. This Yuanqiu had changed a lot. She used to dare not look at people seriously, but now she can still laugh when she hears an official coming to her door.
