Chapter Ninety-Eighth: Taking the initiative to rent land
Tian Minyan had already planned her future path. Separating the family was the first step. She would get rid of the top-notch big and second bedrooms and close the door to live her quiet life.
Now she has more than five taels of silver in her hand. As long as there is no big deal and she saves some money, they will still be hungry for a while. After two days, they can pick mulberries and sell them. There should be a small amount of income there.
, I first saved my money little by little, and then bought a piece of land in the back mountain to open up wasteland so that I could grow cotton next year.
The labor force of Sanfang is actually very small, especially since Luo Shi is still pregnant, and the fetus is still unstable, so she cannot work hard. Therefore, the main labor force is still Tian Huairen, and they are the younger ones, that is, just to help.
They might be able to manage six acres of land, but twenty-four acres of land with just a few people is no joke. It takes so much manpower, mental and material resources to make it that simple?
Tian Minyan was about to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly paused and thought carefully about the Tian family's land. Eighteen acres of the land were paddy fields, where rice was grown, while six acres were dry fields and sandy land, where rice was grown.
It's peanuts and sweet potatoes.
My family was allocated four acres of paddy fields and two acres of sandy land, including the crops. When harvested, they were all considered their own.
She wanted to buy the land. After all, it was the basis for farmers to make a living. Food came from above. To make a fortune, buying land was a must.
And what should you do if you don’t have the capital to buy land? Of course, rent it. Anyway, it’s renting, so it’s better to rent your own land, or you can pay less interest, and those 18 acres of paddy fields are all of good quality.
With fertile land, she could cultivate new seed products and increase the yield per acre, and she could think of better ways to grow rice.
Thinking of this, Tian Minyan looked at her second uncle and said: "Second uncle, cleaning the house is just a trivial matter. But the crops, the eighteen acres of crops are not going to be taken care of by our third house. We can't take care of them in a day."
The harvest is about to begin, and now we need to topdress the land. We can’t manage more than 20 acres of land with just a few of us."
"I said, third child, you are a daughter who cares too much. This is not okay. Your daughter's worries are all about her own flesh and blood. What will happen if this spreads out?" Before Tian Huaixiao could speak, Mrs. Li screamed.
stand up.
"Second Aunt, you don't care, why don't you stay and take care of the crops and the house? Hey, there is also our family's field, so we are looking forward to a good cropper like you." Tian Minyan smiled sweetly, but her eyes were very sharp.
.
When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately closed her mouth and snorted.
"The third child doesn't want to pay attention to it. There are many people, so it's not easy to rent out tenants." Tian Huaixiao didn't look at Tian Minyan, but only watched Mr. Tian express his position.
Tian Huairen wanted to speak, but Tian Minyan tugged on his sleeve and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, my grandpa is worried. Maybe he doesn't want to go to Henghe."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at Mr. Tian.
Mr. Tian was just smoking a dry cigarette and seemed to be thinking about it. When Tian Huaixiao and Mr. Li met, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"If dad doesn't go, how can this happen? This is to enjoy the blessings. If dad doesn't go, how will outsiders look at eldest brother? They might think that eldest brother despises his parents." Mrs. Li said urgently.
Tian Minyan knew that she naturally wanted Mr. Tian to go, so she said: "Grandpa, my uncle has just entered the officialdom. He has many people and sophisticated ways. I'm afraid he still needs your help."
She thought very clearly that the old man had to go because she wanted Mr. Tian to look at Tian Huaide.
She knew very well how destitute Tian Huaide was. Although she had resentment towards the big families, hating them for marrying her to a fool in exchange for wealth and family, she was happy to see their retribution.
But is it really good for her to be in trouble when her big family is in trouble? No.
Mr. Tian is most partial to the big house. If the land is sold because of the big house, what will they eat in the future? Their three-bedroom life will be better. The old man begged with a sullen face, and Tian Huairen, who was honest and sincere, was coaxed.
He was afraid that he would pounce on him and give away his family property with both hands.
No, she can't watch something like this happen. The so-called butterfly effect means that if the big house is in peace, the third house can live a peaceful and stable life. If the big house is in trouble and the family returns to Yangmei Village, can they still live peacefully?
So she asked the old man to look at Tian Huairen. This was first and second. She wanted to train Tian Minrui to be the head of the family with her early. Tian Huairen was too honest and too easy to be soft-hearted. She didn't dare to believe it.
She only hoped that with the restraint of Mr. Tian, Tian Huaide would be his sesame ninth-grade official peacefully, so she would be at ease as long as they didn't completely burp in Henghe.
Tian Minyan's words sounded nice, but they also reminded Mr. Tian. He glanced at the boss and saw his expectant eyes, which were faintly gleaming with calculation, and couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
Yan Yatou is right. The boss only has a talent for reading. He has some small calculations, but his will is weak. If he is not careful and is taken advantage of by someone with good intentions, it will be a big loss for him, not to mention his life.
He said that he had brought trouble to his family.
He needs to be careful, and so does the second wife. With his restraint, he will be more restrained.
"Third brother, the old house is rather dilapidated, so don't rush to move there. If you still live in the west wing, just help take care of the other wings when you have time. As for the land, if you don't want to farm it, then rent it out.
, these summer crops, after collecting and paying taxes, will be sent to Henghe."
As soon as the old man said these words, Tian Minyan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the old man was going to Yokogawa. Tian Huaixiao and others also breathed a sigh of relief. Only Tian Huaide and his wife were in mourning, but they still forced themselves to smile.
"Grandpa, I don't know how you rent out the land. How much rent do you pay?" Tian Minyan asked at the right time.
"After paying the tax, just pay 30% of the rent." Mr. Tian pondered for a moment.
Thirty percent is high, not high, low. If the output is small, it is still too heavy. However, Tian Minyan still thinks it is feasible, so she said: "Grandpa, why not share it with outsiders? Why don't you share it with us? It's just rent.
Can it be less?"
As soon as she said this, not only Mr. Tian was surprised, but also Tian Huairen and Tian Minrui looked at her in astonishment. However, since Tian Minyan fell into the river and died once, they felt more confident, so they did not speak.
"Hey, eldest niece, didn't Cai'er say that she can't take care of her, so she actually has to rent a house?" Mrs. Li finally caught Tian Minyan's speech impediment and couldn't help but sarcastically said.
"Second Aunt, we don't have the energy to work in vain, but if we have to do our own work, no matter how weak we are, we still have to do it, right? Besides, we like to be self-reliant, and the money we get is solid." Tian Minyan smiled disdainfully at her sarcasm.
, sarcastically replied, choking and making Mrs. Li grit her teeth with hatred.
"Terrant land? Third child, is this what you mean?" Mr. Tian reacted from the shock, looked at Tian Huairen, then looked at Tian Minyan, and said: "You are only a few people, can you really cultivate twenty-four acres of land?
