The next day, Old Man Yun got up early, held the money in his arms, and walked to the village chief's house.
"Uncle, have you eaten? Where are you going?"
"After eating, I went to the village chief. I have something to do."
"Uncle, you are busy, I will go to the fields." A man from the village greeted Old Man Yun warmly when he saw him.
"Old Yuntou, why don't you go to the fields? Where are you going?"
"Hey, you old boy, I asked you to call me Old Man Yun, but you insist on calling me Old Yuntou. It's really a fight. I'm going to the village chief's house. I have something to do." Old Man Yun looked at the man across from him who was carrying a hoe and wearing coarse linen clothes.
The black-faced old man replied with an unhappy look on his face.
"Okay, okay, Old Man Yun, I won't talk to you anymore. You can go to the village chief's house quickly." The black-faced old man had an expression that said, "I'll take whatever you say." After saying hello, he smiled and walked towards the field with a hoe on his shoulder.
go.
There were many people going out to work in the fields in the countryside early in the morning. I met several people from the village along the way and said hello to Mr. Yun.
Finally we arrived at the village chief's house. The village chief's house was the first brick house in Yunjia Village. It was bigger than the Yun family's house. It was located in the middle of Yunjia Village. There were four sons and two daughters in the family.
The eldest son Yunjiang married Wu and had three sons.
The second son, Yunhe, married Mrs. Wang and had two sons and one daughter.
The third son, Yunhu, married Mrs. Chen and had a son and a daughter.
The fourth son Yunhai has not yet married because of his young age.
The youngest daughter Yun Baozhu is only fifteen years old and not yet married.
The eldest daughter of the village chief's family, Yun Lijuan, is already married. There are more than a dozen people in the family living together. The house must be big, but it is not enough to live in.
"Dajiang, is your father at home?" Old Yun walked to the door of the village chief's house. He happened to see the village chief's eldest son coming out and asked hurriedly.
"Uncle, my father is at home. I will take you over." Yun Jiang saw that it was Old Man Yun and hurriedly led him into the house again.
The village chief's grandfather is a biological brother to Old Yun's grandfather, and the village chief Yun Zetian and Old Yun are cousins. There is nothing wrong with the village chief's son calling Old Yun uncle.
"Dad, my uncle is here to see you."
"Brother, why are you here? What's the matter?" After hearing what his eldest son said, the village chief Yun Zetian came out of the room and saw Old Yun in the yard and asked.
"I want to buy land, see if it's available."
"How much land do you want to buy, brother?"
"I want to buy thirty-five acres of fertile land. Fifteen acres are closer to my family's land. You can look for the other twenty acres. These twenty acres are for the clan."
"Hey, why did eldest brother buy so much land? Does the family have enough money? It won't empty out the family's wealth, right?" The village chief was surprised. Instead of being happy about the twenty acres of land given to the clan, he was worried about Lao Yuntou.
If you have money, you won't empty out your family's fortune.
"Don't worry about this. I must have come to you because I have money. The boss went up to the mountain a few days ago and was lucky enough to pick an old wild ginseng. Yesterday, I borrowed an oxcart for you and asked your sister-in-law to take the boss there.
Sold the ginseng for this amount." Old Man Yun stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of the village chief.
The village chief took a breath, looked at Old Man Yun in surprise and asked softly: "Three hundred taels?"
Old Man Yun nodded.
"That's good, that's good. Congratulations, brother." The village chief congratulated with a smile.
"Hey, this is also luck. This is not because we want to make some money. Our farmers have reliable fields. The scholar in Lao Sanzhong did not give fields to the clan before. This opportunity just happens. Please help me take a look. I need it.
How much does it cost and how can the county government get it?"
"Okay, brother, you came to ask today just in time. There is a landowner named Lin in our village. I heard from his housekeeper that his son is doing business in Fucheng and has made a lot of money. Landlord Lin wants to go there and enjoy the blessings."
"Yesterday morning, my servant came to tell me that he wanted to sell the 500 acres of land at home. This is not because he has been living in our village for many years and gave priority to people in our village to buy it. If no one buys it, he will hang it up."
"If the eldest brother wants to buy it, I will ask the second brother to go to the landowner's house and ask his housekeeper."
"Okay, please trouble me, brother."
"Hey, we are all brothers, why bother? Besides, the land bought by the eldest brother still has 20 acres that belong to the clan, so we clan uncles will definitely be happy."
"Second Brother, Second Brother, go to the forest landowner's house across the river and tell his housekeeper that someone in our village is buying his land."
"Hey, Dad, I'm going right away." A man in his mid-twenties came out of the room, answered and left the house.
After about half a cup of tea, the second brother led a slightly fat middle-aged man in a blue silk shirt into the courtyard.
"Dad, I've invited Butler Lin here."
"Village Chief Yun, who wants to buy my master's land?"
Butler Lin followed the second son into the main room of the village chief's house, bowed his hands to the village chief and asked.
"Steward Lin, this is my cousin. My cousin wants to buy the land in your house. Look at the price..." the village chief introduced to Steward Lin.
"I wonder how many acres of land this old man wants to buy?"
"Thirty-five acres, I wonder if it's feasible?"
Butler Lin pondered for a moment and then said: "This is a bit small, but our master told me, thirty-five acres is just thirty-five acres. The market price is eight taels of silver per acre of fertile land. Depending on the village, I will give you seven taels per mu.
You think it's feasible, if possible, let's take a look at the land and then go to the county government to transfer the ownership."
Old Man Yun has been farming for half his life and knows how much fertile land is per acre. The price is already pretty good. If you go to Yahang to buy it, it will cost at least 8 taels of silver per acre, and it may not be in the same village. He immediately responded: "Okay, okay."
"
"Then let's take a look. If possible, we can finish it today."
Mr. Yun looked at the land with Butler Lin, and chose a field of fifteen acres that was closest to his own land. He also selected a field of twenty acres. The landowner Lin's family was also harvesting grain. He told Mr. Yun that the grain was coming.
After that, the land belonged to the Yun family. After discussing with Butler Lin, Old Yun went home and asked his eldest son to take the banknote and follow the village chief to the county seat.
Outside the county government office, Yun Yi carefully folded the land deed that had just been stamped and put it into his arms. It cost more than two hundred taels of silver, so it had to be put away.
They then took the Lin family's car back to Yunjia Village. At the entrance of Yunjia Village, Yun Yi and the village chief got out of the car, said thank you and parted ways with Butler Lin.
Yunyi walked home with the village chief.
"Uncle, you and Aunt Guixiang will come to my house for dinner tonight with your children. My father has promised that you must come. I'm going back first. You must come at night." Yunyi sent the village chief to the door of his house and said, "Hurry up."
I ran away, fearing that the village chief would not agree.
"Hey, boy, I didn't say no, why are you running so fast, chasing a dog behind you..." The village chief suddenly realized in the middle of the sentence, saying that there was a dog behind him, he didn't include himself.
"Bah, bah, bah, I'm getting older, and my brain isn't working as well anymore."
After Yunyi told the village chief, he trotted back home. From Mr. Yun's visit to the village chief, to seeing the location of the fields with Butler Lin, to when Yunyi took the car to transfer ownership in the county, everything has passed.
It's been a long time, and it's late afternoon now.
When they got home, Old Man Yun and Mrs. Zhao had been waiting at home for a long time. Seeing Yun Yi coming back, they quickly asked: "Boss, how is it? Has the land deed been processed?"
"It's done, it's done, Dad." After saying that, he took out the land deed from his arms and handed it to Old Man Yun.
Old Man Yun looked at the two land deeds and felt more at ease. He gave one to Mrs. Zhao, motioned to put it away, and put the other one into his arms.
