{Please go to () to read the latest chapter} Qiao Mingjin finally bought the house where she lives now and got the house deed from the clan leader.
He also allocated four acres of land in front of and outside the house.
The land on the homestead is very thin and cannot be used to grow crops, but it is still possible to plant some flowers, trees, bamboos, fruit trees, and melons on any land.
In fact, what they plant is secondary, mainly because they are afraid that after their family starts to grow, people will say that this place is a blessed land, and a lot of people will crowd in to build houses there. Then some bad neighbors will live next to each other, which is really
It's a troublesome thing. You can't see it when you look up.
The houses are far apart, the view is good, the light cannot be blocked, and there won't be too many disputes. It's just right. No one knows what will happen in the future, but we still need to take precautions.
It's not that she can't afford it now. It's just that she doesn't plan to buy too much, as that would be a little conspicuous, so Qiao Mingjin only allocated four acres of land in front of and behind the house.
The patriarch took her a token of one tael of silver.
In Qiao Mingjin's opinion, these few acres of homestead land are really cheap. Four acres are only one tael of silver. However, in the eyes of the patriarch's daughter-in-law, Qiao's mother-in-law was able to collect the money to pay for the house in such a short period of time.
, and even plotted the land around the house, paying a full three taels of silver!
This is quite a lot.
Did she get three taels of silver from selling firewood in such a short period of time? Although Qiao Mingjin said that it was her mother's family and her maternal grandfather's family who got it together, they didn't believe it. The Qiao family is not rich, otherwise the Wu family wouldn't have stepped on her like this.
?
If their man brings back a common wife for them, no matter whether he is the son of the patriarch or not, there will be a fuss immediately. No matter what the reputation of the Yue family is.
The sisters-in-law of the patriarch's family each have their own hearts and minds, and some of them are sympathetic.
Qiao Mingjin didn't know what others were thinking. She got the house deed and land deed and went home with Mingjue.
She also tentatively asked the clan leader if there was any fertile land for sale in the village now. The clan leader said that he had no registered land for the time being, but he would ask Qiao Mingjin.
He also sympathized with this strong woman.
With a baby, she has never been back to her in-law's house once. She has never gone to her in-law's house to make trouble or ask for food. She has no land and no land. A woman alone with a young child went up the mountain to cut firewood and sell it.
, I managed to support my children and myself.
As the leader of the clan, although he has responsibilities, he cannot interfere too much in other people's family affairs.
He can still do it with appropriate help.
He had told his old father-in-law to take care of the mother and daughter. Even though Qiao Jinniang was an outsider, there was still his eldest granddaughter who was his direct relative.
Others would think of giving home-grown vegetables, rice and noodles, etc., but your in-laws are comfortably thinking about marrying a girl from the city, thinking about their dowry, and turning a blind eye to their own direct relatives.
By acting like this, can Yue Zhongyao's future be better?
Patriarch Yue doesn't want to talk too much. He will make a few remarks after a while. He can't interfere whether he listens or not.
The patriarch turned around and gave instructions to his daughters-in-law. Not only did they usually help her, but when others said something bad about her mother and daughter, his family members were not allowed to step on them.
Several daughters-in-law felt the same way about Qiao Mingjin, and they all followed their father-in-law's orders.
On the other end, Qiao Mingjin returned home and walked into the mountain without stopping. Mingheng and Mingqi also followed.
Now that she can't buy any land in the village, she can't grow grain or vegetables. She has to think of other ways.
Although she had a vague plan in mind, she still had to eat food one bite at a time. Now firewood also had to be sold. After Mingjue went to the city and became a husband, and she had other things to do, she might not cut firewood and sell it again.
But now we still have to get out the firewood that will be delivered tomorrow.
Furthermore, we have set aside four acres of land around the house for our own use, and we have to see if we can grow some vegetables, melons, etc. without choosing the land. Then we cut some thorns in the forest and surround them, but we can’t grow melons.
You can also raise chickens and so on.
These days, Sister Xiu has been taking care of her chickens. She also has to think about how to thank Sister Xiu.
After the siblings chopped two carts of firewood and let Mingjue take them home, Qiao Mingjin took Mingqi for a walk in the forest. They planned to go back and chop some wattle and bamboo to surround the front and back of the house..6
Also check in the forest to see if there are any fruit trees that can be transplanted back. If not, go to the market to have a look another day and buy some small fruit seedlings to plant back.
In the middle of the afternoon, the whole family was busy tidying up the front and outside of the house.
The ground is very thin and very hard. When I hit it with a hoe, my hands were numb from the shock.
Qiao Mingjin thought for a while and realized that it would be difficult to grow pumpkins and winter melons here, no matter how hard they chose the land.
Then she took Mingjue and Mingqi to pick up soil on the slope. She and Mingqi were responsible for shoveling, and Mingjue was responsible for pulling the ox cart back.
Later, Mingheng also brought Liu Qi back to help.
Liu Qi didn't complain about being tired. Instead, she grabbed Qiao Mingjin's shovel and stepped on it to dig.
It's just that he shoveled the soil, but it was a bit difficult to pour it into the car. Before he could pour the soil back and forth into the basket a few times, his hands began to tremble.
Under Mingheng's half-smiling gaze, he persisted in shoveling for a few more times, and finally he had to put down the shovel angrily. Looking at his hands again, there were blisters at the tiger's mouth.
Qiao Mingjin took his hand, looked at it, gave him a blow, and praised him a few more times, and the child immediately became lively again.
Qiao Mingjin glared at Mingheng and sent them back with the car to spread soil in front of and behind the house.
This is an easy job, and Liu Qi can do it. This child has just arrived in the countryside, and looks fresh everywhere. He is also competing with Mingheng. Although the two of them are small, they can each count half of the labor.
Qiao Mingjin saw that the field she had just allocated was too hard to plant anything on, so she thought of picking up some soil, covering it with a thick layer in front of and outside the house, and then filling it with a layer of fertilizer.
In this way, you can plant some fruit trees, pumpkins and winter melons.
Mingjue carried the soil back and forth seven or eight times by himself, but not even half of the ground outside the house was covered.
Later, when Chang He and Liu Zhi came to play with Wan'er and Ming Qi, they met Chang He and Liu Zhi, so they went home and asked their parents to help. Soon Sister Xiu and her man Yue Dalei came to help with shovels and hoes.
Father He also wanted to bring He Xiaochun and others to help. But Qiao Mingjin still asked them to work at home.
It is certain that the things made at home cannot compare to the exquisiteness of Zhou's. Because her abacus is fresh, the selling price is also high. If the construction period is not met and the goods cannot be delivered, I am afraid it will offend many people.
Father He thought about it, so he took the three of them home and worked hard.
"Jin Niang, it's true of you that you don't come to me if you need help at home! You are trying to treat me and your eldest brother as outsiders."
Sister Xiu had an accusatory look on her face.
Qiao Mingjin was very moved and said: "I'm afraid that it will delay your work. There is no rush to do these things. I originally thought that I couldn't finish it today, but I would spend another day tomorrow and I would be able to finish it. I will just fill in the mud for one day the day after tomorrow.
, the land was leveled. Our family has little labor, so we have to do it slowly. You also have a lot to do at home."
Qiao Mingjin then said: "I really have some work to do, and I'm not asking for help for nothing. I will pay him wages."
Sister Xiu and Yue Dalei were no longer calm. They stopped their work and asked, "What kind of work do you still have to pay?"
