The village chief smiled and agreed. He was also idle and came to see how the inn was being built.
Song Qiu accompanied him and watched it again.
Then on the way home, the village chief said: "Ah Qiu, the inn you built is so grand, it is sure to be good for business in the future. Grandpa also wanted to come here in a hurry, so he came here to tell you."
"Although this long river is ownerless and anyone can use it, it's really hard to say because of this. Look at the inn you spent so much money to build. What if one day you run into someone else?
To be reasonable, if you have to build a house here or something, then you won’t want to make a fuss."
"I just wanted to tell you something. If you have enough money, or if you wait for the inn to open, and your money is no longer tight after a while, you can go to the town hall and buy the whole river. This is ownerless.
, it probably won’t cost a lot of money, and it won’t be more expensive than land, so I can rest assured that I can buy it, and I won’t be afraid of any trouble in the future.”
"Aqiu, what do you think?"
Anyone can get this ownerless thing. The village chief didn't think so much about it originally. After all, their Songshan Village was a deserted corner at that time. Our ancestors fled here. With the approval of the government, we laid out the foundation on the spot and built it ourselves.
The house was built, and the foundation was not purchased.
As long as no one from the left or right comes to rob them of this built village.
Or was it his father who reminded him.
He thought the same thing, Aqiu girl's inn was for business, and no one in their village would be jealous or make trouble, but he couldn't guarantee that people in other villages would have other ideas.
That's why I asked him to come specifically to talk to Ah Qiu.
When Song Qiu heard what the village chief said, she was also excited. At first, she heard the village chief said that there was no owner here and she could do business, but she didn't think too much about it.
Now that I hear this, I really feel that having a land deed and not having a land deed are two different things. Only by holding it in my own hands can I feel confident!
She thanked the village chief immediately and responded: "Thank you, grandpa village chief, for reminding me. I won't have to worry about it. I'll go to the town office later!"
She happened to be planning to go to the town to inquire about dental clinics, so she went along with her.
The next day, Song Qiu drove a mule cart with Aling to the town.
As for the pear flowers, stay at home and help take care of the dried chili peppers. If it suddenly rains or something, this can't be missed.
…
The long-term workers of the Cheng family are still resting. Everyone in the Cheng family is worried, and the manager has not bothered to arrange the work in the fields, and the left and right are not missing for the past two days.
The long-term workers' residence is at the side and rear of the Cheng family compound. Through the many walls, the noise in front can be heard.
The niece who was in charge of the concierge was waiting in front of the master, so she knew more than others. Several long-term women were chatting around her, and they were praising her in both words and expressions.
The mother-in-law enjoyed this very much. Listening to the commotion in front of her, she said, "Look how many people have come here in the past two days? I heard from my niece that there were several girls born to Chujiuzi alone.
There are ten of them, and Chengyang Taoist priests looked at each one one by one, and the divination revealed that none of them are the ones they are looking for!"
"If you ask me, these are all people who are greedy for money and are here to fool us. Our master also has a good temper. If it were anyone else who dared to come here to fool us for fun? They would have been cleaned up and kicked out by now!"
Several long-term workers listened with great interest. They didn't go to the front, so of course they didn't know so much.
Ms. Chen carried the wooden basin and prepared to go to the back to wash clothes. A woman turned to look at her and hurriedly waved to her, "I'm from Donggua's house! They are all sitting here to relax. What are you busy with? Come over here and let's chat together."
, I also have clothes that haven’t been washed, let’s meet up later!”
Seeing that all the women who were long-term workers were surrounding the mother-in-law, and being called out again, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but refuse, so she turned around and came to the concierge, put down her clothes, and sat down with everyone to listen.
.
Having one more person does not affect leisure time. When the long-term workers have nothing to do, it is normal for them to get together to relax. The Cheng family is not that demanding, and neither this nor that is allowed.
Besides, long-term workers are not servants either.
After a delay, one of the women picked up what she had just said and said, "I really want the ninth son to be born right now? It can't be wrong at all? This Chengyang Taoist priest is very accurate."
The mother-in-law glanced at her and said, "Hey! You just don't know. Who is Chengyang Taoist? The Taoism is profound, how can there be any inaccuracy? He said that he was born by Chujiuzi, so it must be, and he can't do it for a moment.
It’s bad, it has to hit the ground at the right moment for it to be suitable!”
"It's normal that you don't believe in the efficaciousness of the Sanxing Guan. You haven't been to the Sanxing Guan either, but my ancestors believed in it! This matter started many years ago. Anyway, our ancestors have believed in the Sanxing Guan for many years.
She has known Chengyang Taoist priests for many years. She said that Chengyang Taoist priests are capable, that is, they are capable. This is not a lie. Who are our ancestors?"
The women listened and naturally agreed one after another. Who dares to say that the ancestors of the Cheng family are not good?
Besides, that's right, the ancestor of the Cheng family was an incredible person.
Was Zizheng born at the same moment?
Chen's back suddenly became sweaty, but with so many people around, she didn't show anything.
Shi Shi, who had a good relationship with her, happened to catch a glimpse of her face turning pale and couldn't help but ask.
Mrs. Chen shook her head hastily, "It's okay, it's okay."
"I know you are someone who can't sit still. Why don't you sit down for a while? Don't worry, I will go wash clothes with you later. After the clothes are washed, I will ask you for a trick. Come on
The handkerchief that Ju Xiang, the girl in front of me, embroidered last time was very nice, and I also thought that I would embroider one for my daughter and send it back with my free hands." Shi Shi said.
Even though they are all long-term workers, they work in the fields and have rough hands.
But Chen's embroidery skills are really good, and I don't know where she learned it.
Mrs. Shi often told her husband that if she had such skills, how could she do long-term work? To embroider a piece of embroidery, large or small, would cost more than four taels of silver a year.
I don’t know what the Chen couple thought. They had to work as long-term workers. I heard that they borrowed money from the Cheng family not long ago and gave it away for ten years. They also had to work in the Cheng family for ten years before they could have the freedom to leave.
What about not leaving?
By then, at this old age, will my eyes still be able to see the thread of a needle?
However, although Mrs. Chen is a long-term worker, she also earns money from outside. I heard that she is good at embroidery. The maids from the Cheng family in front of her often come to her to help with embroidery work, and they can even do it in one go.
Earn a few bucks.
Shi is envious, but unfortunately, her craftsmanship is just like that. She can still see the embroidery, but others can't.
Mrs. Chen was thinking about something in her mind, and she just nodded in agreement and didn't say much.
Everyone was used to her talking less and didn't notice anything.
