According to the memory of the original owner, women in this dynasty could also have independent household registration, called female households, but first, they needed the consent of their family members, and second, they had to be guaranteed by someone in the same village.
Once a female household is established, it has no legal relationship with the people in the original household registration. Even grandparents do not need to support them anymore.
There is no problem with the villagers vouching for this, but it only requires a signature and a fingerprint. If that doesn't work, she can go to Uncle Zhao, who will definitely be willing to help her.
The main reason is that her family agrees that this is very difficult to deal with. If things were going well in the past, Ms. Li might be eager to kick her out of the house as a freeloader.
But now she has earned money by herself. Although Li doesn't know the exact amount, she has seen the things given by Mr. Jiang with her own eyes. I'm afraid there will be trouble again!
The more Su Xiao thought about it, the more annoyed she became, so she just didn't want to change her household registration at the moment. The worst she could do was buy land and hills and put them in Dafu's name first!
After returning home and taking out the banknote, she saw that neither Mrs. Li nor Su Luo had moved, so she went out again and walked towards Li Zheng's house.
After coming here, she only met Li Zheng once. He was an old man with a gray beard and a bad temper. He was fairly fair in doing things and quite prestigious in the village.
The most important thing is that he has a good relationship with the original owner's father. Every time Su Yaoguang comes back from outside, he will bring wine to his house and have a good meal with his old friends.
With this relationship, Su Xiao felt more confident. When she found Li Zheng's house, she directly raised her hand and knocked on the door!
"Who is it?" The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman. She was stunned when she saw Su Xiao, and then pulled her in very enthusiastically, "Girl, why are you here in this hot day?"
Su Xiao knew that she was Li Zheng's wife, so she quickly smiled and handed over what she was carrying, "Auntie, I have something to ask Uncle Li Zheng. Is he here today?"
The aunt stretched out her hand to push her away and said, "You are too outspoken. When you were a child, you used to come to my house with your father all the time. Why would you bring anything with you when you come here?"
Seeing that she refused to accept it, Su Xiao changed her hands and put the things on the table beside her, and said with a smile: "It's not a good thing. If I don't accept it, I'm just being disrespectful!"
Seeing her sincere expression, the aunt knew that she was sincerely sending her gift, and the smile on her face became more genuine, "Girl, just do it, I will call your Uncle Li Zheng over now!"
With that said, he picked up the bowl next to him and poured water for Lidya Su, then turned around and went to the inner room.
Not long after, Li Zheng, who had a goatee and a goatee, walked out with his hands behind his back, glanced at Su Xiao, nodded slightly, and sat down slowly on the main seat.
"...Is there still no news about your father?" Li Zheng's face, whether it was natural or required by his job, was always serious and solemn, and his voice was quite majestic.
Su Xiao shook her head, her eye circles turned red before she could speak, she looked like a helpless and fragile little girl.
Seeing this, Li Zheng sighed, stopped mentioning the matter, and asked Su Xiao why he came today.
Su Xiao pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes and told her about wanting to buy the hill and land. Li Zheng turned to look at her and frowned slightly.
"Although that hilltop has been empty and ownerless for many years, it is not cheap. The larger one costs fifty taels of silver, and even the smaller one costs at least twenty taels of silver."
When Su Xiao heard this, she was overjoyed. She knew that this place was very remote and the land must be cheap, but she still didn't expect that this mountain was so cheap!
She pinched her thigh to prevent herself from laughing, and continued to maintain her timid look, "Uncle Li Zheng, I am rich. Before my father left, he left me all the money in the bottom of the box."
Hearing that it was the money left by his friend for his daughter, Li Zheng relaxed his brows. After asking Su Xiao a few more questions, he went to get the land book and took Su Xiao to read it together.
"This mountain is not very good. After someone bought it in the past, they cut down all the thicker trees. Now all that is left are saplings, which are not worth much."
Li Zheng was indeed the same as Su Xiao's impression, a cold-faced and warm-hearted person. When he came up, he told the problems of several mountains one by one, for fear that Su Xiao would be kept in the dark and suffer a loss.
Su Xiao was secretly grateful, thinking that after the formalities were completed, she would get more wild products, pick up some medicinal materials, and send some to Li Zheng.
After that, she looked at the land book carefully and circled the mountains where she had collected medicine.
For those that she had not personally been to, except for the ones she was finding fault with, she also drew red circles on all the mountains that were close to her.
"Girl, these mountains add up to several hundred taels. Are you not going to keep any of the money your father left for you?" Li Zheng was also shocked by her generosity and said in surprise.
As an old friend of the original owner's father, he knew Su Yaoguang's ability. He had a very good vision and almost always paid for whatever he bought. Otherwise, what else could the Su family's big yard be built on?
But now his whereabouts are unknown, there is no news at all, and Su Xiao has two children with her. The saved money is not enough, but she wants to spend it all to buy the mountain?
"Girl, have you been deceived by someone?" Thinking of this, Li Zheng's eyes widened and he put on that scary serious expression again.
"This hilltop is nothing like the land, and you can't grow crops or vegetables. Even if you sell wood, no one comes to a remote place like ours. If you buy so much, you'll lose it sooner or later!"
After listening to Li Zheng's words, Su Xiao knew that he was also doing it for her own good, but she couldn't explain it to him in such detail for a while, so she couldn't help but hesitate a little.
Suddenly, she had an idea, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and tears flowed down her eyes, "Uuuu, Uncle Li Zheng, I, I dreamed about my dad, he asked me to buy it!"
"My father gave me a dream, telling me that even a woman can't farm, so I just need to buy a small piece of land that can build a house. The remaining money will be used to buy hills. He also said that there will be rewards in the future!"
After all, this is ancient times, and people have a deep-rooted respect for ghosts and gods. After hearing what Su Xiao said, Uncle Li Zheng was doubtful, but he no longer insisted on opposing it like before.
"Uncle Li Zheng, you know what my father is capable of. If you have spare money, you might as well buy a few. Maybe one day you will get a chance and make a lot of money!"
Seeing that Li Zheng's expression relaxed, Su Xiao immediately put away her tears and encouraged Li Zheng to buy a mountain with her.
After all, she is going to start up the forestry industry in the future, and Li is a good person, and she is willing to take him to make a fortune together!
After making the selection, Su Xiao handed over the banknote and took the opportunity to bring up the matter of setting up a female household again, wanting to test Li Zheng's attitude.
She also knew that this matter was a bit shocking. Seeing that Li Zheng was about to brag again, she immediately threw herself on the table and shouted: "My life is so miserable!"
Immediately, he rubbed his eyes with the hand hiding the chili pepper, and immediately burst into tears again!
