She didn't stop after going out, and went straight to the village chief's house.
Seeing her, the village chief sighed, "Do you really want to buy that land?"
Li Qinghe nodded, "I've already thought about it."
Hearing this, the village head was very serious, "Normal fertile land is about three taels per mu, but fertile land costs five taels. If you want that barren hill, there is nothing on it, one tael or two per mu will do. But if you think about it, Once you get the title deed, if you can’t sell it, you can’t get your money back.”
"I understand." Li Qinghe responded casually, and secretly calculated her savings. She had saved four taels of silver in the past two years, and with the ten taels there, she could buy about ten acres of land. If you want to marry her, then she has to leave a way out for herself.
Although Li Qinghe didn't marry the right person in his previous life, he didn't object to marrying the right person. As long as the person is right, life will not be sad, "Please take me to the town to write the land deed, and then ask Brother Bing to measure it."
The village chief frowned, "Buying land is a big deal, it's not a little money, don't be so anxious, don't regret it."
"I don't regret it." Li Qinghe pursed her lips, "Today, my Aunt Qian asked me to meet someone, who is Uncle Wanwan's cousin."
"Nonsense!" Although there are many people with foreign surnames living in this village, the village head is from the Li family, and he is considered to be the cousin of Li Qinghe's grandfather, a very close elder. At this time, he was a little angry, "Don't worry, I will go Tell your grandfather about this, he won't let your father randomly find you a husband's family."
Li Qinghe hurriedly said, "Don't bother grandpa. In the end, it's all caused by money. I never heard that Aunt Qian wanted to help me negotiate a marriage before. Today, I suddenly called someone... When I get the land deed , they stopped, if it still doesn’t work, I’ll ask grandpa to make the decision.”
It was still Zhou Chengkang's carriage that he was looking for in the town, and the village chief kept persuading him along the way, "Don't you think about it anymore? That land is really useless."
Li Qinghe made up his mind and said firmly, "I want to get the title deed. The money can be easily taken away, but the title deed is in my name and will always be mine."
This is indeed the truth, the name is not written on the silver, whoever gets it counts, and the land deed is not.
All the land in the town is under the management of the mayor. The mayor had already asked about it earlier. Although the mayor was puzzled, he didn't ask too much. After all, this kind of wasteland can't be sold basically. Li Qinghe is willing to buy it. This money does not need to be recorded, that is to say, as long as no one asks about this money, it is very likely that it will fall into the mayor's private house.
Li Qinghe didn't care about this, since the land deed was real anyway, she felt relieved when she got the piece of paper that said ten acres of wasteland with wet ink on it, and saw the signature in the corner.
Then, two more yamen followed the carriage back to the village, took the measuring bamboo poles, and began to measure the land. Li Qinghe stuffed two cents of silver for the two of them, and then relaxed the amount when measuring the land, and the village head followed. The two of them seemed to know each other, talking and laughing all the way to finish measuring the land, of course it was more than ten mu. Li Qinghe chose the flattest piece, the place was barren, and no one came over after the measurement.
Zhou Chengkang sent the two yamen back to the town, and Li Qinghe returned to the village with the village head with the title deed.
The village head lived at the entrance of the village, and he was going to pass Li Qinghe's house on his way home. When he arrived at her house, he paused, "I haven't been to your house for a long time, let's go in and have a look."
This is to beat Qian's, Li Qinghe is grateful and hurriedly leads him in.
I didn't feel it when I walked outside, but when I entered the yard, I found that the house was lively. Qian smiled and came out with the teapot in his hand. He seemed to be going to add some hot water. When he saw the village head and Li Qinghe walking in, his expression froze, and he quickly recovered his smile. "The third uncle is here, hurry up and sit in the room."
He also told Li Qinghe, "Qinghe, pour tea for your third grandpa." After speaking, he dragged her into the kitchen.
The tone is friendly and casual. In fact, although their family and the village chief are related by blood, they are really not that close. As for the reason... we have to start with Li Fu and Qian Shi.
It was no big deal for the two to separate in the first place. Many unmarried men and women admired each other but failed to get married. It was not surprising, but Qian came to flirt with Li Fu after she became a widow, which made many people unacceptable.
It was Li Qinghe's grandparents. When Li Fu and Xu's were married, Li Fu was angry with his parents. After they got married, they moved out and stopped seeing each other very much. When he hooked up with Qian's, they completely cut off contact there.
This is also the reason why Li Qinghe rejected the village chief's proposal to let her grandpa decide for her. There is no relationship anymore, and for her to find her son again, I feel like I have bowed my head.
"Where did you go? You didn't really ask the village chief to help you decide, did you?" Qian said while adding water to the pot, "My nephew is two years younger than you, but he has been a carpenter for five years. If you marry him in the future, you won’t live a hard life. I’m doing it for your own good, but if you react so strongly, you can tell me if you don’t like it. There’s no need to run out like this. Did your aunt bring him here just now? You, how embarrassed I am."
Li Qinghe babbled, "You asked for the embarrassment yourself. Let me see you, why didn't you tell me? You kept it secret and thought you were an old bustard."
Qian frowned, "What are you talking about? Don't talk like that if you're not happy."
Li Qinghe picked up the cup, "Then let me tell you now, I don't agree to this marriage. I'm not happy with anyone from your Qian family, so it's alright?"
Mrs. Qian tugged at her, looked at the yard, and lowered her voice, "Hush your voice. You are stubborn, you can't refuse a good marriage just because you hate me. How difficult is it for a peasant girl to marry a skilled man?" , if it weren't for the relationship between our two families, and it wouldn't be your turn. I would harm you, but your father would never do it. Your father also thinks this marriage is good... "
No matter what this kind of person tells her, she only listens to what she wants to hear, and ignores the rest. Li Qinghe became impatient, "You should be happy for you to marry! Anyway, I won't marry!"
Qian frowned, "Don't think that I don't know what's on your mind. What's so good about the Zhou family? It's so poor that the whole family has to wear clothes. He's been busy for you recently, just for your money!"
"The silver is gone." Li Qinghe said casually.
Hearing this, Qian was stunned for a moment, then raised her voice and asked eagerly, "Where did you spend it?"
Seeing her anxious face, Li Qinghe felt happy, "Anyway, the flowers are over."
After speaking, he entered the main room with a teacup and poured tea for the village chief.
Qian, who was left in a daze, muttered, "It's gone, it's gone, how can it be gone, ten taels..."
Li Qinghe was in a good mood. He was pouring tea when he heard someone behind him say, "Sure enough, he is a child raised by my sister. She is sensible and quick to do things. Whoever can get this girl will be lucky." Zhao Wanwan's aunt.
The village head answered immediately, "You are still young and not sensible." He had a humble tone of an elder, and he meant to refuse the marriage even at a young age.
Originally, they were all young, so why should they talk about a relationship? If you are a sensible person, you will not deliberately mention the marriage here.
