Chapter 88 The Village Chief Actually We Came to Buy Fields
Chapter 88 Village Chief, we are actually here to buy fields.
They all treat her like a sheep, just waiting to get her wool!
Isn't it because of her medical skills?
"Let's go! If you need something, go back to my house and ask your sister-in-law to pour you a glass of water. Tell me slowly!"
The village chief enthusiastically took the person home,
The three of them sat down, and the village chief's wife poured some sugar water.
Qian Guixiang then explained the purpose of her visit: "Village chief, you also know that our family was kicked out and we don't have any land to live with!"
The village chief frowned, his eyes full of disgust: "This is indeed what Liu Chunxi did! Our village has hundreds of surnames. When we came here to escape famine, many people joined in halfway. At that time, everyone started to fight. Sheng Sheng is also a big force, but after finally settling down and having enough food, some people’s true nature has been revealed!”
Qian Guixiang shook his head: "Village Chief, I don't mean to blame you. If it weren't for you, our family would have been tortured to death by Mrs. Shen Liu, and we wouldn't have survived to the time of separation! Let's not mention this anymore. Village chief, actually today we are here to buy fields."
Qian Guixiang and Jiang Ci looked at each other. Jiang Ci took out fifty taels of silver ingot and placed it in front of the village chief.
The village chief's wife, who was sitting in the yard choosing vegetables, was eavesdropping. As soon as she saw the silver ingot, she came over with vegetables in her hand!
His eyes almost touched the silver ingot: "Oh my goodness! This is the silver ingot!"
As he said this, he was about to get it, but the village chief knocked his hand aside and glared at the woman.
The woman seemed not to notice: "Sister Guixiang, what kind of good business is your family doing? It's only been a few days? You've built a big brick house and bought some land. You must have made a lot of money recently, right?" Let’s talk to my old sister!”
Jiang Ci's eyebrows were a little colder. No matter which dynasty, making money is what others need to make a living. How can they speak freely? This woman is too rude!
"Aren't you going to water the vegetables in the fields? Why don't you go?" the village chief said with a dark face.
Seeing her man's angry expression, the woman shrank back and reluctantly walked away carrying the barrel in the yard.
"It's a joke for you! Leave her alone! How much land do you want to buy with these 50 taels of silver? Our first-class fertile land costs 10 taels of silver per acre, second-class fertile land costs 5 taels of silver per acre, and wasteland costs 3 taels of silver per acre! Where do you want it? Kind of? Or a combination?”
"Five acres of first-class fertile land!"
Jiang Ci had his own reasons for wanting these five acres of first-class fertile land. There were not many people in his family, not to mention that his master was in the academy and could not help with farm work. Xiao Yunduo went to the medicine hall to study medicine and was not at home. Xiao Anzi was young. Too young to be of much help,
Shen Dashan's legs and Qian Guixiang's waist were not very neat either.
She is the equivalent of a strong laborer! Five acres of land is enough for her to work!
The village chief saw that Qian Guixiang did not refute. He also knew that this was a matter of family discussion and did not persuade him any more.
"I'll take care of this matter! I'll go get the paperwork for you in the afternoon!" After that, he put the fifty taels of silver ingots in his arms with great care!
"Then I'll trouble the village chief!"
"No trouble, no trouble! However, I also want to discuss something with you."
Qian Guixiang was stunned: "Discuss things with us?"
The village chief looked at Jiang Ci as if he were looking at "The Light of Peach Blossom Village":
"Our village is neither big nor small! Villagers will always encounter serious or minor illnesses. This year, twenty or thirty people in our village died from illness alone, so I want to discuss it with you: Sanlang's wife Since you have the ability to see a doctor, can you take care of the people in our village?"
Qian Guixiang's first thought was to refuse. Although she didn't know the specific extent of Xiaoci's medical skills, she could easily remove birthmarks on her face, so her medical skills were definitely not weak.
Xiaoci had enough to worry about just running the stalls in the town, but now he has another business, and he doesn't know the magic of clones. What should he do if his body is exhausted?
But then I thought about Da Shan’s broken leg and how he had no way to ask for help. I would like to point out that other people must have encountered this kind of thing. If there was a doctor in the village, it would definitely be much easier!
Therefore, Qian Guixiang is completely contradictory.
And Jiang Ci also frowned, she didn't want to be in trouble! But it only takes 5 minutes to help people see a doctor and write prescriptions, so it doesn't take too much thought:
"Okay! But there are two conditions for my medical treatment: first, I will treat the villagers every five days. Second, if I don't have enough medicine, the villagers will take the prescription and go to the town to get medicine."
"Okay! I have fulfilled these two conditions on behalf of our villagers. Wife-in-law Sanlang, I would like to thank you on behalf of our villagers!"
The village chief's face glowed with excitement,
After saying some kind words, Qian Guixiang took the village chief back home and took him directly to the study. In the study, Shen Shuxuan was reading books. After hearing about his purpose,
First he looked at Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci put his hands together and looked pitiful.
Shen Shuxuan then slightly withdrew his gaze,
Seeing the two of them talking, Qian Guixiang was afraid that Jiang Ci would be uncomfortable, so she pulled Jiang Ci out too.
Jiang Ci, who originally wanted to help and say a few words, was about to burst into tears!
The master only learned knowledge from books. He doesn't even know things like tree flowers and mulberry huang, let alone what retting fertilizer is, right?
What to do?
………………
And under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village:
"Sister-in-law of the village chief, are you telling the truth? Did Qian Guixiang really spend 50 taels of silver to buy land?"
"Isn't it possible? The old man and I have been saving for decades, but we haven't saved enough 50 taels! Qian Guixiang, who doesn't leave the house all day long, can earn 50 taels?"
"The Guixiang family is really rich! You see, they are building big tile houses and buying fields. How do they make money?"
A group of women talked a lot,
"I asked how I earned my income, but they didn't tell me whether they were alive or dead! You know, the man in my family is an old-fashioned person, and he had to stop me from asking!" The eyes of the village chief's wife were filled with unwillingness and longing.
"How else can I make money? Isn't it just from the red fruits picked in the mountains?" Yang Cuihua answered lazily while munching on pumpkin seeds.
"Cuihua, how do you know this?"
"What red fruit? The fruits in our mountains are all very astringent. No one wants them even if they rot on the trees. How can any fruit be so valuable?"
"I think so! If the fruit was really that valuable, wouldn't the people in our village have picked it long ago?"
A group of women just don’t believe it,
Yang Cuihua was also anxious,
They couldn't find that fruit in the mountains, and they were in great embarrassment because of it.
But the fourth child's family lived a happy life relying on the money from selling fruit. How could she swallow such a tone?
"What do you know? My eldest sister works as a maid in the house of a member of the town. She said that her old lady used the red fruit picked by Sanlang's wife for her birthday. What else is it called... strawberry! Just that fruit costs 100 yuan per pound. ! He also said that this fruit was given by a woman with a red birthmark on her face! Isn’t Sanlang’s wife the only woman with a red birthmark in this town?”
"100 yuan per catty? Be good! Are these fairy peaches for sale?"
"Sanlang's wife is too stingy. She makes money by picking fruits from the mountains without telling us! This mountain belongs to our entire village, not hers alone!"
