After discussion, several families decided to buy the vacant land in front and behind their own yards.

As for the three courtyards, the third grandfather said: "My family will buy one."

The couple is living with Dashan's family now, and they have not bought a yard. They have to buy one so that Fuya and his family can find a place to settle down.

The Gu Jinli family wants both of the other two courtyards.

Gu Jinli wanted to make soy sauce and expand his tofu business, so he needed a yard for his workshop, and the remaining yard was intended for his family to live in after finding Aunt Daya.

There were seven families in total, and each family had to apply for the property deeds, which really took some time. Fortunately, the high clerk worked quickly and came one by one. In two quarters of an hour, all the property deeds were completed for them.

At this point, Gu Jinli's family now has three old mud houses with courtyards, each of which covers an area of ​​two acres. It cost twelve taels of silver to obtain the property deeds for these three courtyards.

And her family bought all the open space in front and behind the three courtyards, which totaled 20 acres, and spent forty taels of silver.

In addition, six acres of wasteland were being reclaimed, which cost six taels of silver. Counting these items together, her family spent a total of fifty-eight taels of silver.

This is a lot of money. In the past, Gu Dashan would have never been able to get it in his lifetime. But they have been doing tofu business for more than a month and have earned at least four taels of silver every day. Now they have a bank account of one at home.

It's nothing to use fifty-eight taels of more than a hundred taels of silver to buy a house or land.

Gu Jinli and Gu Dashan took out the cloth bags they were carrying, took out two bags of broken silver and handed them to Secretary Gao.

Secretary Gao counted the money and after confirming that it was correct, handed the deed of the house and title to Gu Dashan.

Gu Dashan was very excited when he took over the house deed. He could be considered a man with a house and land.

After getting excited, Gu Dashan hurriedly put the property deed close to his body, patting the inner pocket of his heart from time to time, for fear that the property deed would disappear.

Gu Jinli found it funny, but she was also very happy.

Secretary Gao seized the time to finish the house deeds and land deeds for the other families. Just after finishing the house deeds and land deeds, a burst of noise came from far and near. Hearing the sound, Gao Shuli waved to them.

Said: "Follow me."

Several families hurriedly followed Secretary Gao to a small corner door behind the official's house. Secretary Gao took out the key and opened the small corner door: "Go from here and pass through this small alley to the north back door of the county government office. That is where the official's house is.

There are people from the Jiang family waiting for you at the door where the government officials come and go."

"Thank you, sir." Third Grandpa and the others bowed to the official, and hurriedly entered the corner gate and left the official's courtyard. They followed the alleyway to the north back door of the county government office. Shang Xiucai was already waiting for them at the door. And there were other people beside him.

Standing were two unfamiliar-looking young men, and a burly middle-aged man with a beard, wearing black and brown, with a wolfskin belt around his waist.

This man was none other than Shang Xiucai's uncle, Jiang Qi, the eldest son of Jiang County Lieutenant.

Jiang Qi walked among the group of people for a while, then fixed his eyes on Qin Sanlang and asked, "Is this the descendant of the Qin family?"

Shang Xiucai nodded: "Exactly."

"Haha, look at this body and waist, he is indeed a good sportsman." Because of Lu Dezhu's incident, Jiang Qi liked Qin Sanlang very much.

When Qin Sanlang heard this, he grinned, a little shy in his smile.

Shang Xiucai said: "This is my uncle, the eldest brother of my father-in-law's family."

Several families hurriedly greeted Jiang Qi.

The third grandfather asked Shang Xiucai: "We heard a noise when we were in the official's room. It seemed that a group of people came to the official's room but were stopped. Will anything happen?"

He was afraid that Jiang Xianwei's people would fight with Zou Xiancheng's people.

Jiang Qi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. This is the county government after all. Although the Zou family is a local leader, the people of Zou County Cheng don't dare to go too far. Otherwise, the county magistrate and my father will wait.

It will be difficult for them to explain when they come back."

Jiang Qi added: "Lu Dezhu has been watched by Lao Yang and his men. When it gets dark, Lao Yang's men will escort him into the prison cell through the back door. His matter has nothing to do with you and your family, so don't worry.

"

After hearing this, Third Grandpa and the others were very happy. That's fine. They are farmers and they just want to live an honest life farming the land and don't want to get involved in any official dispute.

After Jiang Qi said this, he looked at Qin Sanlang and said, "You did a great job with Lu Dezhu."

Then he asked him: "What kind of work do you do at home? Have you ever thought about coming to the county government as an errand?"

Qin Sanlang shook his head: "Thank you Uncle Jiang for your kindness. The family has just settled down, and there is still a lot of work to do. Grandpa is getting older. I want to stay at home to help in the past two years, and I have not thought about leaving home for the time being."

Jiang Qi nodded and said: "You are a filial person. But you don't have to rush to answer. Go home and discuss it with your grandfather. Maybe he will agree to you coming to the county government as an errand."

The power of the officials was great, and every peasant wanted to work in the government office even if they wanted to work in the government office. Jiang Qi felt that even if Qin Sanlang's grandfather was expelled, he would push Qin Sanlang into the county government office.

Qin Sanlang smiled: "Then I'll go home and ask Grandpa. If it doesn't work, I hope Uncle Jiang won't blame me."

When Jiang Qi heard this, he was even more satisfied with Qin Sanlang. Listening to his reply, he found that this young man was not an ignorant person, but a man who knew how to talk and deal with things.

Shang Xiucai looked at the alley ahead and said, "Uncle, let's go back first. The people in Zou County Cheng are angry. It's not good for them to see us."

"Okay, you go back first." Jiang Qi said to the two young men beside him: "Huzi, Ah Liu, send my uncle and the others back. If there is anyone who dares to embarrass my uncle, you know what to do."

"Don't worry, uncle, we won't let those bullies bully our uncle." Huzi and Ah Liu are both strong men in their thirties. Both of them have been soldiers and have some skills in their hands, so they can protect them.

people.

Jiang Qi nodded, and Huzi and Ah Liu took Shang Xiucai and the others out of the alley, got on two mule carts, and drove towards the city gate.

There were two mule carts, one belonging to Shang Xiucai's family and the other belonging to Jiang's family. Lao Luo was not there, so Huzi and Ah Liu drove them, and they arrived at the city gate in a short time.

When he arrived at the city gate, Huzi saw two servants of the Lu family and knew that they were waiting here specifically. He sneered at them, flicked his whip, and rushed out of the city gate.

After running for more than a quarter of an hour, they saw Lao Luo and Ah Jiu. After picking them up, they ran towards Dafeng Village, Qingfu Town.

…

In the Lu family, Widow Qiu was beating Lu Laosan on the back: "Third Master, don't worry, the Qin Gu Luotian family would never have thought that we would come up with such a coup. When Lu Dezhu comes back with their house deeds,

Let's ask Lu Dezhu to lead people to drive them out of the house. It's getting dark now, and they will definitely sleep outside tonight."

Widow Qiu smiled and said sinisterly: "There are several girls from those families who are not very young. If we let Zhang Niuzi take people to make trouble where they sleep in the street, the reputation of the girls from those families will be ruined.

If it goes bad, you will have avenged everything by then."

"You deserve it. Those families who dare to go against me deserve this!" Lu Laosan was eating candied dates and humming an opera, happily waiting for Lu Dezhu to come back.

But he didn't wait for Lu Dezhu to come back, but waited for his second brother from home.

As soon as Lu Laoer saw him, he immediately overturned the table. With a crash, the dried fruit refreshments on the table fell to the floor.

Lu Laosan sat up in fright: "Second brother, why are you so crazy?"

Snapped!

Lu Lao Er Duotou gave Lu Lao San a slap in the face: "Why am I crazy? If it weren't for your bad idea, how could I have gone crazy? It's a failure! Lu Dezhu is gone, and this time our Lu family has to go crazy again.
Chapter completed!
