The two of them went to the entrance of the village together, and almost everyone had arrived.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked around. Many people had sad faces, including a few skilled craftsmen, all of whom had good expressions.

Needless to say, Yu Xiaoxiao knew why.

Waiting for the people from the government to come, they went up one by one to pay the taxes, and then went back to their homes with mournful faces. They didn't want to stay here sadly. At the same time, they were also eager to go home and think about ways to make money. They had finally saved money in the past three years.

How can anyone not feel heartbroken if half of the money is gone out like this?

Next year's tax money hasn't been paid yet, so there's no time to waste time here.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't want to wait any longer and went home quickly. Making money was important.

No one can stop me from building a house this year. I must build a house this year. Isn’t it all about money?

I can earn it!

After returning home, Yu Xiaoxiao continued to spin twine, hoping to spin out all the twine and then quickly start weaving to make money.

While she was spinning twine in her hands, Yu Xiaoxiao's thoughts were wandering away. Why couldn't she dress up as a landowner's lady? Even if she was her aunt, Yu Xiaoxiao said she could recognize it. Hey~

Am I not worthy? I am a poor boy in modern times, but I will still be a poor boy in ancient times. Can't I change my life a little bit?

The village chief glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao, who was following behind him, and said, "You kid can bring us whatever delicious food you have during the holidays. We can't keep your kindness in mind."

After all, if you want to have the heart of a Holy Mother, you must also have the qualifications of a Holy Mother, otherwise Yu Xiaoxiao is afraid of risking her own life.

Yu Xiaoxiao continued to ask her doubts from the side: "Uncle village chief, what do you think I should prepare?"

At the same time, I secretly decided in my heart that I must make more money in the future to be good to my future granddaughters. As for the others, Yu Xiaoxiao really couldn't help.

So she just did it. Yu Xiaoxiao ran to the village chief. After telling him the purpose of his visit, the village chief pondered for a moment and then directly asked Yu Xiaoxiao which piece of land he wanted to buy. Naturally, the land Yu Xiaoxiao wanted was the big one next to his house.

There was an empty space.

"Hey, how can I lie to you?"

Come on, I'm not tired, I want to be a rich man!

The village chief nodded: "If you don't worry about this, your uncle, the village chief, will ask me to come and find people for you. I will definitely build your house beautifully."

Giving herself a word of encouragement, Yu Xiaoxiao stopped thinking wildly and started working hard on her dream of building a house.

When Yu Xiaoxiao realized what she was thinking, she was scared to death. Isn't this assimilation a bit too powerful...

After measuring the land, the village chief took the people home, and Yu Xiaoxiao followed him and asked carefully: "Uncle village chief, does this property deed need to be filed with the government for registration?"

Yu Xiaoxiao walked a few steps to catch up with her, and said with a smile: "The relationship is great, that's it. I'll ask the village chief uncle to take full responsibility for me."

Hey~

Now Yu Xiaoxiao somewhat understands why the ancients favored boys over girls. According to the head tax, both men and women are paid the same twelve taels. Men can go out to work. After a year, they can at least pay the head tax.

But women are different. This era has many restrictions on women, which means that after a year of busy work, women may not be able to collect all the money for the poll tax.

Finally, Yu Xiaoxiao's money returned to 60 taels, and she could finally go to the village chief to talk about building a house.

Yu Xiaoxiao scratched her head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "That's not true, I'm just too happy."

Hey~ I can never be assimilated, men and women are equal, men and women are equal...

Yu Xiaoxiao first said to measure out the size of an acre of land so that she could see how big it was. The village chief also agreed and measured out an acre of land for Yu Xiaoxiao to see. Yu Xiaoxiao thought about building a three-sided courtyard and each house would be quite big.

But I still wanted a backyard, so I told the village chief my requirements, in terms of how much land I wanted.

Moreover, he had no intention of cheating Yu Xiaoxiao, so this matter became a good thing to make money and sell Yu Xiaoxiao's favor.

She didn’t know how long she had been mentally building herself up before Yu Xiaoxiao felt that her thoughts that it was better to raise a boy than a girl had faded away.

Summer soon came, and Yu Xiaoxiao finally spun all the twine. Without much rest, Yu Xiaoxiao once again devoted herself to the weaving business.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't know how many times she sighed. What else could she do? She could only make chicken soup for herself and silently comforted herself over and over again. Although she couldn't convince herself in the end, people still have to live.

, we can only cheer up and turn grief and anger into motivation...

Finally, the square acre of land was extended by four points of land in length and two points of land in width, finally showing a rectangular shape.

The village chief also gave the price of the land, which was four taels of silver per acre, and asked Yu Xiaoxiao how much he wanted. Yu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and felt that he couldn’t ask for less, or more, so he told the village chief to measure it first.

He wanted to see how much land he wanted. The village chief got up and took people to measure the land without saying anything.

Alas~ I can’t say whose fault it is. It’s not unreasonable for girls in ancient times to get married early. The main reason is that they can’t afford to support them.

Yu Xiaoxiao asked again: "Uncle village chief, do you know who built the house quickly, well, and solidly? I don't know who to hire to build the house."

The village chief nodded.

So where will the remaining money come from? Naturally, it will come from those where men earn more. In this way, the gap between men and women will come.

Yu Xiaoxiao thought to herself while mentally building herself up. She must not allow herself to be assimilated, she must not let herself live like an ancient person, and she must not let herself become numb...

I really want to cry...it feels so uncomfortable~

"Tsk...I can't explain these three or two sentences to you clearly. Let's do this. I'll ask your Aunt Guihua to go to your house and chat with you slowly. I'll go to the town to get the house deed for you, and I'll find it for you on the way.

A house builder."

Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really? Uncle village chief, why are you so worried? If you can do it for me, I won't be happy before it's too late. I'm completely blind about this job."

As for why the village chief is so enthusiastic and takes matters into his own hands, the main reason is that people who do such things are paid to do so. The village chief is not an old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to adapt. If there is a way to make money, he naturally wants to do it.

Money is made.

The village chief also smiled and nodded.

It’s so hard to live!

Thinking about it this way, Yu Xiaoxiao felt that raising a girl was not as cost-effective as raising a boy.

After saying that, the village chief hesitated before speaking: "Girl, your house looks like it's going to be very big. Do you want to ask the villagers to help with the work?"

Yu Xiaoxiao replied without hesitation: "I definitely want it. The people you hired to do the work are all crafts. There are other jobs, and they will definitely not be able to finish them."

The smile on the village chief's face deepened. This could be regarded as the benefit he brought to the villagers as the village chief, and he was worthy of his position as village chief.

"Well, once the person who builds your house is found, I will discuss it with you and recruit handymen from our own village."
