The General’s Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 55: Land for rent

Views:

Without Mrs. Chen and others coming to cause trouble, Ning Mengyao's life gradually calmed down, but soon the family became lively again because of her dozens of acres of paddy fields.

Seeing these people coming to her home, some of them are the children who come to her place to learn to read. Their families are relatively poor. Now I hear people say that Ning Mengyao wants to rent out the land they just bought. Isn’t this right? Are you all here

The last twenty acres of high-quality paddy fields were all allocated to the families of those who came, and they had to pay taxes and then give Ning Mengyao three cents a year.

The middle-level paddy fields were rented by two families who had difficulties. Although they were not as good as the upper-class paddy fields, they were still good. In the end, the rent was only 20% of the price after paying taxes, and the people who rented the fields were very satisfied.

The yields of high-grade paddy fields and medium-grade paddy fields are completely different.

Ning Mengyao didn't plan to rent out the last five acres of second-class paddy fields, but a migrant said that their family didn't have any land, so let it be second-class. It could be done by applying more fertilizer.

Ning Mengyao had no choice but to rent out the five acres of land.

In the end, it was agreed that the rent would be handed over after two lifetimes, and there would definitely be no delay. Yang Zhu was with him the whole time, and even helped Ning Tao record it together.

After finishing, everyone left. Ning Mengyao looked at Yang Zhu: "Uncle Yang is really troublesome for you today."

Yang Zhu shook his head and said it was okay: "It's troublesome, but girl, what do you plan to use the other mountains and dry land for?" There are still thirty-five acres.

Ning Mengyao thought for a while and expressed her thoughts.

"Since you already have an idea, I won't say much. If you need any help, just tell me." Seeing that Ning Mengyao had already thought of his plan, Yang Zhu nodded with a smile.

"Sure, that's natural."

After talking to Ning Mengyao for a while, Yang Zhu left, and Ning Mengyao took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and started writing non-stop. It was her plan and something else.

It took Ning Mengyao a whole afternoon to get everything ready, and finally found that the dry land near the east seemed useless, and there was a relatively large river next to it.

As for why the land beside the river is still dry land, it is because the terrain there is too high. Not only that, the river is too deep and the water cannot be drawn up for irrigation.

After thinking about it, Ning Mengyao got up and locked her bed and went out. When she came to that place, she looked at the rushing river water below. Then she walked forward and found that the water flow in front was even faster, so she had a plan in mind.

Isn’t this suitable for digging fish ponds and raising fish

After returning from the river, Ning Mengyao thought about it carefully and felt that digging fish ponds to raise fish was a good decision, so she quickly wrote her thoughts on rice paper and added them to her previous plan.

After finishing everything, Ning Mengyao realized that she was actually a little hungry.

Feeling her empty stomach, Ning Mengyao stood up and walked towards the kitchen. She made herself a plate of fried rice, then took out the embroidery frame and started embroidering.

Not long after the beginning, an uninvited guest walked in, that was Yang Xiuer, who had just been here before.

She stood next to him and looked at him with inquiring eyes, as if she had done something shameful, which made Ning Mengyao extremely disgusted.

"You seem to have forgotten what I said." Ning Mengyao kept moving her hands, but her voice was as cold as ice.

Yang Xiuer's body stiffened slightly, and she turned to look at Ning Mengyao with a bitter smile on her lips: "Are you really like this and can't tolerate me?"

The treatment Yang Cui received these days made her feel cold. Wasn't she like that before? Because he tried to get something from Ning Mengyao, but in the end he made himself into a mess.

Ning Mengyao paused in her movements and looked up at Yang Xiuer, who was full of tears, with sarcastic eyes: "I can't tolerate you? What is my relationship with you?"

Yang Xiuer was startled. She had thought that Ning Mengyao would say a lot and even forgive herself. But after hearing her words, Yang Xiuer realized how naive and stupid she really was.
