Chapter 47 This is the country I laid down for you!
Chapter 47 This is the country I have built for you!
Lin He looked at her, a little surprised: "You want to buy land?"
An Shuyao nodded and said with a smile: "Since we are ready to settle down in Rock Village, we must have a house of our own."
Lin He heard this and nodded in agreement: "The place you live in now is my old house. It has been abandoned for several years. According to the land deed, it costs five taels of silver to buy that big place. You see
Do you want it?"
An Shuyao took out the purse she had prepared in advance and took out five taels of silver: "I bought it."
Lin He was a little surprised by her wealth. After all, when he first came here, he knew that the couple didn't have a penny.
In just about half a month, her family was able to spend a huge sum of five taels without blinking an eye.
Lin He accepted the money, gave the land deed to An Shuyao, signed another deed, and pressed his fingerprints to complete the handover.
When a house is resold, the deed must be reported to the county government.
An Shuyao accepted the land deed with a bright smile on her face. She finally had a house of her own. Although the house was very dilapidated, she would slowly decorate it until it turned into a cozy courtyard.
She placed it carefully and then asked: "I also want to ask how to sell the fields in Rock Village? How many acres do I want to buy?"
Talking about the fields, Lin He frowned and stroked his black and white beard: "Most of the land in Rock Village belongs to the Hu family, and a small amount belongs to the villagers. Even if you buy the land, there is no order from the county magistrate.
No one dares to plant it. Moreover, the land here is barren and the crop yield is low. Now that winter is about to enter, it will be difficult to plant anything."
Hearing this, An Shuyao frowned: "Is there any extra land for sale in the village?"
Lin He pondered: "Yes, there is, but it is a wasteland. Even the county magistrate doesn't care about it, because whatever you plant will die."
When An Shuyao heard this, his eyes lit up: "If I plant it, will the county magistrate not care about it?"
Lin He nodded: "That's what the county magistrate said, because the land is not within his jurisdiction, so it's okay even if you buy and sell it at will."
An Shuyao said very grandly: "I want it."
Lin He was slightly stunned: "Miss Lu, you should think more about it. That piece of land is really useless. Some villagers in the village have tried it. It will only waste more seeds."
An Shuyao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, where is the land?"
Seeing that his persuasion was useless, Lin He could only say: "It's not far from where you live, at the foot of Yan'an Mountain."
Still next to each other? That's better.
"How much silver?"
Lin He said: "There are three acres of wasteland there. If you want it, I'll give you five taels of silver."
Five taels?
This was like pie in the sky. An Shuyao was afraid that he would regret it, so she hurriedly took out the money and said: "The village chief's land deed."
Lin He shook his head. This five taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to feed for a year, but she used it to buy useless wasteland.
In his eyes, An Shuyao just had too much money and no place to spend it, so she was free.
But this was her business. If he regretted it, he wouldn't return the money, so he gave her the land deed, and the deal was considered complete.
An Shuyao walked out of Lin He's house with the land deed satisfied. One acre of ordinary fertile land costs more than ten taels of silver. Three acres of wasteland here cost five taels, which is not a good deal.
An Shuyao has already started planning how to improve the land. She wants to plant all the peppers!
She wants to open the market for chili peppers first.
On the way back, An Shuyao met Shi Huanhuan. She had a gloomy face and looked very unhappy. She was accompanied by Aunt Shi, who was holding a fishing net in her hand and seemed to be fishing in the river north of the village.
.
Shi Huanhuan glanced at An Shuyao hatefully, and then quickly left with An Shuyao.
For this kind of person, An Shuyao didn't take her seriously at all. He typically had a heart as high as the sky and always felt that he was invincible and that no one was worthy of her.
She also doesn’t think about whether others will choose her when she chooses others.
Shi Huanhuan stopped, but couldn't help turning around after all. His eyes fell on An Shuyao's slender back. Some people are not only good-looking, but every move she makes is pleasing to the eye. Even her back is fascinating.
She was unwilling to hold on to the fishing net so hard that her nails dug into her flesh.
Aunt Shi's expression was not good-looking, and her voice was a little low: "Huanhuan, there is nothing good about Lu Jin. He has no great use except for his appearance. Not only is his family poor, I think he is also a short-lived ghost and very sick."
With his appearance, who knows if he can survive this winter. Wait until next year, mother will tell you about Li Xiucai’s family. He is well educated and handsome, not much better than that married man."
Even in comparison, Li Xiucai's family is indeed much better, but Li Xiucai does not have Lu Jin's unique temperament. Lu Jin's profile makes her dream.
But her mother was right. After she angrily said that she wanted to marry Lu Jin, her mother analyzed the pros and cons for her. Lu Jin had no money, no education, was not in good health, and did not have a decent family fortune.
If she marries Lu Jin, she will have to endure hardships.
After Aunt Shi's analysis, her mind gradually calmed down. Yes, Lu Jin had nothing. If she insisted that he had to do it, it would be a burden to her. Her mind, which had been dazzled by beauty, suddenly sobered up.
But this incident still stuck in her heart like a thorn.
She could stop thinking about Lu Jin, but whenever she thought about An Shuyao's possession, the jealousy in her heart almost engulfed her.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Aunt Shi frowned: "Huanhuan, did you hear that?"
Shi Huanhuan's clenched hands relaxed a little. She took a deep breath and her voice became much calmer: "I understand, mother, I will just listen to you in everything."
Only then did Aunt Shi feel relieved. The Lu family were just people from outside who had no money to settle down. How could they be worthy of their own daughter? What's more, she was already married. She was even more unlikely to let her daughter jump into this pit of fire.
She smiled and said: "Let's go, let's send fishing nets to your father and your grandfather. The fish caught will be a lot of money."
…………
An Shuyao didn't take it seriously when she met Shi Huanhuan on the road. She hadn't had breakfast when she came out, but now she was so excited that she wasn't hungry at all.
She even wants to quickly go and see her three acres of wasteland. From now on, she will also be a landowner with land and a house!
When she walked to the door, she saw Lu Jin holding a bowl. He came to open the door for her. Before he could say anything, An Shuyao pulled him in the direction of Yan Anshan.
Lu Jin held the bowl hard to prevent the porridge inside from spilling out: "What are you doing?"
"Shh, I'll take you to a good place."
Hearing this, Lu Jin followed her lead.
It wasn't until they came to a grassy wasteland that An Shuyao let go of him, pointing to the land with excitement and smiling brightly.
"Look, Lu Jin, this is the country I have built for you!"
