Chapter 101 Borrowing money
Fu Yan hasn't decided how much to buy yet because she needs to determine the price.
She said: "What are the prices of different grades of fertile land, and how much rent can be charged?"
This man is none other than Rich Man Li, one of the three major landowners in the town. There are three wealthy families in the town who are well-known in the county, namely the Wang family, the Shen family and the Li family.
"Our family has fifty acres of first-class farmland, sixty acres of medium-grade farmland, and forty acres of lower-grade farmland. One mu is one long, one mu is eight taels for first-class, one mu is sixty-taels for medium, and one mu is fourty-taels for low-grade.
It depends on how much you want."
Fu Yan thought, that is to say, ordinary people have to save hard for two years before they can afford one acre of low-grade farmland.
Otherwise, you have to pay rent and lease.
"The annual rent for good farmland is 700 cash for the first-class land, 500 cash for the medium-grade land, and 400 cash for the low-grade land."
As the man spoke, Fu Yan was also calculating in his mind.
"The upper-grade ones are usually used to grow grains and vegetables for sale, the middle-grade ones are mostly used for this purpose, and the lower-grade ones are used to grow household grains."
Fu Yan thought for a while: "I initially want fifteen acres of upper-class farmland, twenty acres of medium-class farmland, and thirty acres of lower-class farmland."
Mr. Li's eyes lit up and he glanced at Fu Yan's stall: "Little madam, they say you are a genius in treating diseases. It seems you have earned a lot of money."
"It's all for livelihood." Fu Yan said, "I'll get some silver the next day, and then I'll sign the deed for resale."
"Okay, next day just go to Li's house on Dongyang Road to find me."
The Li family on Dongyang Road turned out to be one of the three richest people in the town. No wonder they had so many fields. Just now, Fu Yan was a little suspicious that the other party wanted to make a profit from her price difference. Now he knew that they really had the confidence to do so.
The fields Fu Yan needs total 360 taels, and the annual rent is more than 30 taels. When he leaves, he can at least sell them with a guaranteed capital, and the capital of more than 300 taels will still be there.
When the street stalls were closed, Fu Yan told Mu Ding'an about the incident.
"Okay, I'll have someone take it out for you," the man said.
"I have to push a cart of medicinal materials on the street every street. It's tiring, so I have to rent a shop." Fu Yan said, "Open a small pharmacy and treat people on the street."
"Well, you make your own decision."
No matter what Fu Yan wants to do, the man has no objections and even supports it. Rather than relying on a man, he prefers to see a woman working hard and making progress. She has great vitality and adds a lot of brilliance to a person.
However, when he thought about her leaving one day, he felt unspeakably depressed.
Fu Yan wanted to rent a shop in the past, but after the highway between the county town and the town was opened, the flow of people in the town increased a lot, and the demand for shops exceeded supply.
Fu Yan went to inquire again, but no one wanted to rent out the store. She frowned.
Mu Ding'an glanced at her: "I'll ask the people here to pay attention. What location do you want?"
"It doesn't matter if it's not too bad." Fu Yan said that in practicing medicine and treating patients, skills are basic, and the reputation accumulated is very important. People would rather walk a few more steps than go to see a quack doctor.
She discovered that Mu Ding'an actually took the initiative to discuss family matters with her. He used to let her arrange things, but now he is more involved.
I bought the vegetables and prepared to go back to Tiantou Village.
Fu Yan vaguely remembered that she hadn't bought anything, and she was lighting the items on the cattle cart.
"It's all up there, let's go." Mu Ding'an said.
"Oh." Fu Yan also felt that there was no shortage of daily necessities and vegetables, so he got on the cattle cart.
She didn't notice that a hint of cunning flashed across the man's face, and then disappeared without a trace.
Lu Yunran was scolded again today because she came only at noon and wasted the time cost of the landlady selling clothes.
This time when she went back, she only got half of the fabric before, which meant her income was reduced by half.
Lu Yunran couldn't help but want to cry.
Thinking that he still had a friend, Lu Yunran had an idea. Wang Qian was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in the town, and she married into the Shen family of another big landowner. There would be no problem in helping her.
Get some money from her first to support your life and confidence, so that you can have some hope.
Lu Yunran went to Shen's house.
Fu Yan sat on the bullock cart and looked back.
Lu Yunran should have gone to see Wang Qian, not to borrow money.
She didn't care about other people's affairs and withdrew her gaze.
Lu Yunran walked to the door of Shen's house and saw Wang Qian training two girls, with a straight face and a serious attitude. Compared with the girl before, Wang Qian was now a domineering young woman.
"Wang Qian——" Lu Yunran called out, a smile on his face.
Wang Qian also invited her to get married, but it was probably because she had secretly planned her marriage to Shen Ming, so she always felt a little guilty when facing Wang Qian, and didn't come to see her for a while.
"Oh, I finally remembered to come. I thought you had forgotten me." Wang Qian said unhappily. After she got married, she had to learn to take care of the Shen family's housework and couldn't get away from it every day. In addition, Shen Ming was a
Cripple, she didn't want to marry him in the first place, but after getting married, she found out that he was not good at that at all. She felt depressed every day. Thinking about having to be with such a man in the future, she wanted to die.
The once bright girl now has resentment in her eyes, hidden hostility, and the energy in her body is scary.
Lu Yunran went into the Shen family yard and grabbed Wang Qian's hand: "You don't know how miserable I've been recently. I almost couldn't survive. I came to you because I was afraid that you would say I'm a burden. If I didn't come to you, I was afraid that you would say I'm not good."
Treat you as a friend."
"What happened to you?" Wang Qian was still in a bad mood.
Lu Yunran told everything that happened in Tiantou Village. Of course, she did not say that she drugged Zhang Dajie. She kept claiming that Fu Yan framed her and led the whole village to violence against her, almost killing their mother.
The two women kicked her out, so she had no choice but to use her hard-earned savings for a year to pay compensation. Now she is penniless.
Lu Yunran couldn't help but shed tears as he spoke.
Wang Qian originally felt that he was unsatisfied, but after hearing about Lu Yunran's incident, he finally found a lot of balance.
There are many people in this world who are unhappy than her.
"You should have come to me earlier, otherwise I wouldn't even know that you are doing this. That Qin Yan is really too much. When I am sure that she is no longer needed, I will give you a good meal."
Although Wang Qian is not a very sincere person, he is still somewhat loyal to his friends.
When Lu Yunran returned to the village, his beautiful face was raised high again, with pride.
She borrowed ten taels of silver from Wang Qian. Anyway, Wang Qian would ask for something from her in the future, so it would be considered as a filial piety to her.
Lu Yunran was humming a song in a high-pitched voice. Fu Yan came out to get firewood. Seeing her like this, he knew that he had borrowed money, but she acted as if it was in vain.
Then I thought about it, maybe Lu Yunran really didn’t intend to pay it back?
After the meal, the man took a shower, changed his clothes and came out of the room. Fu Yan took one look and was stunned for a moment.
