Chapter 5 Land Rental
Zhang Dacan let go of Lin Dahu and asked: "What deal?"
"I will rent our three acres of fertile land to you for three years. All the profits from the land will be yours. Just leave some food for our three siblings. Brother Zhang must also know how many taels of silver it costs to buy one acre of fertile land. You
You won’t lose money after three years of planting.”
Lin Yuehua's consideration was that instead of farming for Aunt Lin for free, she might as well rent out the land and get some food. Although the original owner knew how to farm, she, Lin Yuehua, didn't like it! She preferred to put makeup on people.
Lin Yuehua observed Zhang Daguan's expression and continued: "Brother Zhang, do the math. If you earn one tael a year, you will earn three taels in three years, but I am sure that these three acres of land will earn more than one tael a year."
Zhang Dacan was already very excited, but he had no money to buy seeds.
"Big girl, why don't you rent the land to your aunt for planting? Your field is the best few acres of fertile land in the village." Aunt Zhang understood what Lin Yuehua meant and wanted to give the land to Zhang widower for planting.
She said this deliberately.
Zhang Dagang, who was originally hesitant, immediately agreed when he heard that someone was trying to rob him: "Lin Danniu, please rent it to me."
Lin Yuehua's eyes were smiling, and the field was rented out, but she did not let honest people suffer: "Brother Zhang, I only have three hundred coins in hand, you can take it, and the remaining money will be used to offset the rent you rented. If you agree,
, let’s sign a lease right now.”
"Okay, I agree." A simple smile appeared on Zhang Dacan's face.
"Of these three hundred coins, please keep one hundred coins." Seeing that the three siblings were all very thin, Zhang Dacan counted a hundred coins and handed it to Lin Yuehua.
Lin Yuehua left fifty coins and returned the rest saying, "I'll buy some potatoes and sweet potatoes from your family."
Lin Yuehua borrowed paper and pen from Aunt Zhang's house and wrote a lease agreement. The big can didn't read, so Lin Yuehua read it to him and asked him to fingerprint it.
Lin Da Niu's parents loved her very much and allowed her to gain enlightenment in school, so she could write, so Lin Yuehua didn't have to worry about exposing her secrets.
"Brother Zhang, this lease is in duplicate. If you keep your copy, this field will be truly leased to you." Lin Yuehua reminded her kindly when she saw that this man was an honest person. She was worried that Aunt Lin would know about it.
Will not admit it.
"Okay, big girl, I will bring you sweet potatoes tomorrow." Zhang Dacan collected the lease and left happily.
"Aunt Zhang, thank you for your help today." Lin Yuehua knew from the memory of the original owner that Aunt Zhang often helped their siblings secretly.
Aunt Zhang patted Lin Yuehua's hand and said happily: "This is what it should be. Auntie, I see that you have an idea now, so I feel relieved. Even though Lin Dahua is your aunt, some things have gone too far.
A little more."
"Auntie experienced life and death on the mountain. Now I think about it. I can't be as weak as before, otherwise I won't be able to protect my brothers and sisters. Auntie, I picked some fungi on the mountain. You can take some back." Lin Yuehua took the basket from her back.
I poured some out and gave them to Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang gave Lin Yuehua some more eggs, and Lin Yuehua didn't even need to buy them.
After separating the fungus and oyster mushrooms and storing them, Lin Yuehua went to see Lin Dahu. Maybe he was frightened. As soon as Lin Dahu saw Lin Yuehua, he hugged her and started crying.
Lin Yuehua's body froze, and she was a little at a loss. Finally, she touched Lin Dahu's head.
