Bai Yunxi watched the couple staring at her and finished her thoughts at once.
"I also want to buy the homestead at the east and west ends of my house. I've seen it, and it's more than an acre in size on the left and right, so I can keep it as a backup when the children grow up."
Her family was used to living in peace and quiet at the end of the village. They didn't want to be neighbors, so they simply expanded the homesteads on both sides, built walls first, and planted some fruit trees and vegetables.
If you raise a few more free-range poultry, if they are useful, you can build a house directly and save the need to purchase new homestead land.
After hearing Baiyunxi's plan, Mrs. Zhang chuckled and said,
"This rich and powerful person is different. He has two houses for his family. No wonder some are greedy and some are bitter. Don't talk about them, even if I listen, I can't wait to run and live with you."
Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth and made a joke. No wonder Mrs. Zheng felt so hateful when she mentioned the aunt in front of her.
Putting aside the grievances between the two families, the mere fact that this aunt turned around was enough to make people envious, jealous, and resentful.
Listening to Mrs. Zhang's thoughts, Bai Yunxi's mouth twitched.
"If you are willing to live with me, it's not too late for me to welcome you. I'm afraid my cousin won't be happy, haha..."
"Oh, you are such a bad girl, your mouth is so unforgiving, haha..."
Ms. Zhang looked at her dumbfounded, her old face turned red, she was already a very old man, but he still made such a joke with her. After this aunt changed, she had a cheerful personality, which was really lovable.
"Hey~, let's go and clean up now." The third grandma was a little confused, but she knew it.
"As soon as Brother Yunshan said it, we knew it was my sister-in-law who wanted to buy the slope land, and we were right."
When they saw Baiyun River, they smiled in understanding.
Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, but without any delay, he called his second son to go with him.
Baiyunshan looked at the two people as if no one was around, shook his head, and poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat.
In the whole town, only this lady who was a successful candidate bought two pieces of wasteland.
Bai Anyan straightened his clothes and puffed up his chest subconsciously. He was now the elder brother in the family and had to set an example for his younger siblings.
the next day,
Baiyunxi had just had breakfast when Baiyunshan came to the door, "Yunxi, I have already invited the government servants. They are waiting at the intersection. Hurry over."
Now that the business was done, Baiyunxi didn't stay long.
Baiyunshan looked at the two of them and smiled heartily, "Since you all know each other, there is no need to introduce you. It's still early. Let's go home to have tea and rest first, and then go to the measurement..."
Bai Yunxi stood up, walked out of the yard amidst Zhang's laughter and curses, and returned home.
"Okay, it's time for me to leave. I won't delay your husband and wife's show of affection."
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and starting from next year, those wastelands will be taxed.
"Mom, I know."
"Du Shi, please prepare some millet and red dates to send to your third grandma. I think the old lady's health is too weak, so I will nourish her stomach."
"Ah? So early?"
The three of them arrived at the wooden bridge together. Baiyun Xi recognized them at a glance. They were Zhao Guang and Li Mao who were surveying the slope last time.
"Listen more and watch more, and you will learn more about big and small things."
Before Bai Yunshan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by one of them, "Brother Yunshan, you're welcome. Let's do business first. You can drink tea anytime."
Baiyunshan glanced at his cousin, "Then let's go directly to the measurement and then have tea and rest later?"
"Please, both of you."
Since people put official business first, Baiyun Xi naturally would not stop them and led them directly to the slope on the other side of the Qingshui River.
