Chapter 82 The world, buy land again
"This gold leaf is extremely thin, so no one can find it hidden like this. It is less than one tael of gold. If it is exchanged for silver, it can be about sixty or seventy taels. If it is replaced by these silver, it will be able to surround the entire valley, but it can surround a large yard."
"This...this won't happen!" Although Hao loved this golden leaf very much, the right and wrong were very clear. This golden leaf was considered Liu Yueyi's dowry, and their family could not do anything like using a daughter-in-law's dowry.
Uncle Qin nodded and agreed with Hao's meaning, "Our family still has money now, and the bricks we use to build houses were all bought by Cheng Hu and his wife. The price is not expensive. If you really want to surround the yard, you have to think about it."
Seeing that they were unsure of their minds, Gu Shuixiu laughed, "Uncle, Aunt, what's the difficulty? You might as well build a farm, buy the land between the house and the fields, and then surround a tall and thick wall to make a farm like a rich family. Isn't this safe? Even if you don't have to worry about danger when you go to work."
Uncle Qin was very moved by Gu Shuixiu's words, but they were still a little worried.
"If we buy other fields like this and then surround them, our money will not be enough. Our family will never be able to use the dowry of a daughter-in-law. However, Shuixiu's method is OK. Let's work hard for two more years before you come back, or wait for Chuan'er to marry a wife, let's discuss how to build it together."
"Uncle, have you forgotten that the lands of our two families are connected together?" Zuo Qingsong was forced to speak helplessly. If he remained silent, Uncle Qin might have forgotten that he had a neighbor like him!
Uncle Qin then slapped his head.
"Look at my memory! I'm not happy to say that, I didn't take this into consideration for a while, don't be surprised by nephew!"
What could Zuo Qingsong say, so he had to touch his nose helplessly and stop caring about it.
"Uncle, you don't have enough money to build a village. Why don't you join me? How about we wrap the flat land of the valley as much as possible?"
"Hiss!" Uncle Qin was shocked by Zuo Qingsong's big breath and took a breath of air conditioning. He wrapped the flat ground in the valley. There were at least one hundred acres. Even if one acre was counted as five hundred cents, it would cost more than fifty taels of silver. Even if the two families were equally distributed, the whole family would pay more than twenty taels. With the money from the wall, the whole family would spend about sixty or seventy taels, which was not a small amount.
"Uncle, I mean we will buy all the flat land first and form a farm to wait until there is money to do it later. After all, we won't panic if we have land."
Zuo Qingsong thought so but had plans.
Before Uncle Qin could speak, Liu Yueyi spoke, "Dadfather-in-law, I think what Brother Zuo said makes sense. We have seen too much from Jiankang to Yongjia County. The world is not peaceful, and burning, killing, robbing is common. I am not afraid of saying things that should not be said here.
You don't know that the emperor is now stupid and only knows how to be greedy for wine and sex, and ignores the government affairs. All the imperial power is in the hands of the prime minister. The people of Jiankang disagree with the emperor when they hear the emperor, but they are disgusted with the prime minister's sentiment. Some princes with little military power in the royal family can't stand the prime minister's autocracy and compete with the prime minister. Now the court is in serious internal struggle and completely ignores the sufferings of the people.
Many spontaneous rebels have also emerged from the people, intending to go to attack the court healthily. If it is just a mob, it is fearless. But once I eavesdropped on my father's secret conversation with a guest. There is an organization among the people who have been plotting for a long time and intends to conquer Jiankang in one fell swoop.
At that time, I was so scared that something happened at home not long after. So I don’t know what the situation is now. But we know that we should be in a stable and comfortable place in the mountains. Others will think so. While no one has set his mind to us, we will buy it first."
Uncle Qin was persuaded by Liu Yueyi for a moment, and gritted his teeth and made a decision, as if he was determined, "Okay, then let's buy it together and buy all the flat land in the valley!"
When Hao heard that it was so chaotic outside, his heart couldn't help but thrust, and asked in horror: "Yueyi, is it so uneasy outside? Is there really someone coming to buy land in such a deep mountain? There are many wild animals in this deep mountain!"
"Human hearts are much more terrifying than wild beasts. Those rich families have dead guards, so naturally they don't have to worry about these wild beasts. If someone likes our land, they can naturally buy it. Uncle, since you have made up your mind to buy land, you must ask the mayor to go to the county to file as soon as possible. Some people from the province will bypass the mayor and start from the county magistrate. At that time, we can't compete with others."
Uncle Qin became nervous when Gu Shuixiu said this and secretly decided to set off to Panlong Town early tomorrow morning to give the mayor some benefits and ask him to work hard.
After this night of conversation, Uncle Qin didn't sleep well all night, and before dawn the next day, he asked Zuo Qingsong to go out together.
Dong Yunmei has nothing to do during the day now and sleeps a lot. She always gets up the first time to cook for everyone every day. When she sees Zuo Qingsong and the others, she is about to go out. She actually speaks with a silence.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, why don't you wait for me to put a few pancakes for you before going out?"
When Zuo Qingsong heard this, why couldn't he move his leg away, so he nodded and agreed.
Uncle Qin saw Zuo Qingsong's answer, so he naturally waited for Dong Yunmei to paste the cake. However, Uncle Qin couldn't stop and took advantage of this moment to go out to hunt, saying that Zuo Qingsong would go to find him.
The only one left in the Dong family was Zuo Qingsong and Dong Yunmei, who were awake. Dong Yunmei was busy in the kitchen, and Zuo Qingsong was idle in the yard, so he simply went to the kitchen to help Dong Yunmei burn the fire.
When Dong Yunmei saw that Zuo Qingsong's movements were no longer flexible, she kept making mistakes in her work.
"Yunmei, you don't have to keep a distance from me. I know you don't plan to get married now, and I don't force you. Are we still good friends like when we were a child? Let me tell me one day when you figure it out, and I can wait." Zuo Qingsong casually threw firewood at the stove, focusing on Dong Yunmei.
After hearing what Zuo Qingsong said, Dong Yunmei's tears fell down again. This time Liu Yueyi's arrival made her realize that she cared about Zuo Qingsong and did not want Zuo Qingsong to marry someone else. But she herself has such a condition, how can she be worthy of Zuo Qingsong?
Now Zuo Qingsong actually said he was willing to wait for her, how could she not be moved?
"I'm not..." Dong Yunmei was sobbing that she couldn't speak.
"In my heart, you are the wife I have identified in this life. Before you figure it out, you slowly think about it. I won't mind your past. As long as you don't keep pestering the past, it's fine."
