After Mr. Zhao, several families one after another chose to go up and sign to sell their land.

Zhao Shuren took a general glance and found that the people who came up were basically villagers who had received help from him.

These people, firstly, believe in him, and secondly, they repay their kindness.

After feeling relieved, when he looked at most of the villagers below, his eyes were still slightly cold.

These are not the only ones who have been helped by him over the years.

Yang noticed Zhao Shuren's dissatisfaction and gently held her husband's hand.

In the past few years, the couple had indeed done a lot for the people in the village. They had never thought about what those people could do in return, but they still felt a little uncomfortable in this situation.

Zhao Yitian watched helplessly as most of the villagers were still whispering underneath and making no other moves.

When she looked up again and saw her parents frowning in discomfort, she already regretted it.

She shouldn't have told her father that she wanted to help the people in the village. It was her fault for oversimplifying the matter.

"Dad, mother." Zhao Yitian's eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame.

"Forget it for others, let them regret it later."

Hearing his daughter's words, Zhao Shuren bent down and rubbed her little head and chuckled.

"Yes, let them regret it."

The village chief also secretly hated the villagers for not living up to expectations, but selling land was indeed a big deal, and he couldn't keep forcing the villagers.

Thinking back on his past as a village chief for so many years, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, as if he wanted to let out all the depression that had accumulated in his chest for so many years.

That's all, that's all!

Just when the village chief was about to say that the matter was over, a strong man stood up.

His name is Zhao Fu, and he is the person with the most fields in the village. The name was specially changed by him.

"Shuren, here is this land. I can sell it to you." Zhao Fu's seemingly honest face had a hint of calculation.

"But I think you can increase the price per acre of land, so I can support my family, right?"

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Shuren's lips, and he responded, "Okay, is it okay to add three hundred wen per acre of fertile land?"

He wanted to see now how greedy this person really was.

"Well, how could Shuren just agree to Zhao Fufu? Isn't this giving him a free advantage?!"

The other villagers, whether they signed or not, started talking endlessly.

Those who signed were worried that Zhao Shuren would suffer a loss, while most of those who did not sign were wondering if they could add more.

Zhao Fu's eyes were shining. Seeing how casually Zhao Shuren agreed, he wondered if he could ask for more. He didn't lack the money anyway.

"Shuren, I'm going to tell you the truth. These lands are all good farmland. If you add five hundred cents per acre, I'll sign it. Can't you do it without grinding?"

It's really good. Zhao Shuren couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This five hundred wen is equivalent to half a tael of silver, and how come he has heard before that Zhao Fu has several acres of wasteland.

"Okay, I'll give you five hundred more." Zhao Shuren ignored the exclamations around him and looked at Zhao Fufu and continued, "But you don't need to read this contract, let alone sign it."

Zhao Fufu was immediately fascinated by this "big deal". He had twelve acres of land.

Suddenly, a hand pulled off his clothes from behind, and Zhao Fu turned around to look. The person who pulled his clothes was one of his cousins, and several relatives looked at him with a smile.

"We will sell you a few acres of land under our hands. It would be nice if you pay more, so that you can sell a few more acres of land to Zhao Shuren."

"Good idea!"

When Zhao Fu heard this, the joy on his face became even stronger, and at the same time, his inner abacus started to work again.

With such a large amount of money, why would he stay in this poor village?

"Shuren, wait for me. I will go home and get the title deed right away. Wait, don't worry, I will definitely sell it to you."

Looking at the few people leaving in a hurry with Zhao Fufu, the smile on Zhao Shuren's lips became even stronger.

He gestured "Follow me" behind his back, and then a dark figure immediately chased after him.

The other villagers who had not signed the petition were very moved when they saw how Zhao Shuren had been taken advantage of.

Maybe, they can also sell it higher?

But as soon as such thoughts started to stir in my heart, they were extinguished by reason.

People like them, who have been honest for half their lives, really can't do this kind of behavior like a lion opening their mouths.

A few people with a lot of land chose to go up and sell part of their land, leaving one or two acres for their own farming.

In this way, he could not only hang out with Zhao Shuren, but also keep part of his family fortune.

Zhao Shuren didn't tell the village chief that everything had to be sold at the beginning, because he really considered that most people would not choose to pay for it.

Because they are afraid of the eventuality and cannot afford to bet on the eventuality.

The remaining families who did not choose to sell their land did so because they were still living well and did not want to make any risky changes.

Zhao Fufu and several relatives finally ran over panting.

Not wanting to take a moment to catch his breath, he ran directly to Zhao Shuren and the village chief and slapped the land deed on the table.

"Twenty-six acres of land, ha, a total of thirty-nine taels, give me the money!"

"Sign it."

The village chief no longer wanted to look down upon the right person. After counting the land deeds, he took another land deed transfer letter and asked Zhao Fu to sign it directly.

And after Zhao Fufu signed without any hesitation, he took a big breath of air and twisted the facial features on his face.

Because he ran too fast and too hard, he was suffering from lack of oxygen.

Yang had never seen such a greedy person before. He was so angry that he poured out several silver nuggets of different sizes from the sachet containing money.

He counted forty taels, and he hit Zhao Fufu hard, who was still breathing, and said while hitting him.

"This is forty taels, no need to look for it."

Zhao Fu just wanted to be angry at the woman for hitting him, but when he realized that what fell was money, he immediately hugged the silver in excitement.

He didn't mind it being dirty, so he just put each one in his mouth and bit it. After confirming that it was correct, he became obviously more excited.

"Okay, okay, thanks Ang."

After Zhao Fu got the money, he happily turned around and walked to his relatives. He was suddenly surrounded by the previous relatives.

Forty taels, how long do they have to save without food or water to save such a large sum of money? Are decades enough?

Zhao Shuren looked at Zhao Fu's greedy face with cold eyes, like watching a grasshopper jumping up and down.

By the way, Zhao Shuren glanced at the relatives who had just gone with him, and a somewhat playful smile appeared on Zhao Shuren's face.

For those who are too greedy, it will be very difficult to get the money from selling the land.
