After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

At this time, the Jiang family, thousands of miles away, was indeed not having an easy time.

Since Jiang Wan left for the capital, although she gave Jiang's mother a gold hairpin, there are two patients in the Jiang family. Jiang's father and Jiang Feng's father and son have to pay a lot of money to take medicine and see a doctor. In addition, the family also needs money to eat and drink. Even if Jiang's mother sold the gold hairpin for five taels of silver, it would only be enough to survive for half a month.

"Head of the family, let's sell the few acres of land at home." Seeing that her son and husband were about to run out of medicine, Jiang's mother discussed with her husband.

She was not willing to sell the land unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, for the country people, the land was their lifeblood. They were not willing to sell it even during the difficult times before.

But now if they don't sell it, the family really won't have the money to buy medicine for their husband and son.

The Jiang family has a total of ten acres of land, seven of which are good paddy fields and three acres of which are relatively poor dry land. They earn several taels from the rent alone every year.

These land were handed down from the ancestors of the Jiang family. Later, Jiang's father took the path of studying, so he rented out the land to the villagers and collected land rent.

Father Jiang's leg was broken. Although he couldn't stand up, he couldn't just let it go. He still needed to apply medicine to make the wound heal quickly.

Her son Jiang Feng's medicine couldn't be stopped, so Jiang's mother thought about it all night and finally decided to discuss with her husband to sell the Jiang family's land.

Although the place is important, no one is important.

"Okay." Although Jiang's father was reluctant to part with the land his father left for him, there was nothing he could do about it. He would not agree to sell the land until he was at the end of his rope.

"But let's leave two acres of paddy field to grow food. After all, our family has to eat no matter what." Jiang's father suggested.

"Then let's keep two acres." Jiang's mother did not object. Her husband was right, they still need to eat. Now that her husband can't teach, there is naturally no income. Although she can embroider purses and handkerchiefs to sell, but because of her The female workers in our country are not as good as the embroiderers in the town who can embroider large pieces for sale. The little money they earn is not enough for the family, so leaving two acres of land to grow their own food is enough for their family of three. .

As soon as the news came out that the Jiang family was selling their land, many people came to get close to the Jiang family and wanted to buy the Jiang family's land.

These days, land is the lifeblood of farmers. Few people are willing to sell it, and if they want to buy it, there is no place to buy it. Finally, someone is willing to sell land, and everyone naturally wants to buy it.

Initially, everyone was worried about being implicated by the Jiang family and did not dare to get involved with the Jiang family. But now, no one was afraid anymore and took the initiative to visit the Jiang family.

"Taozi, I heard that your family is going to sell the land, why not sell it to my uncle? There is no word "jiang" in this sentence. We are all a family, it is worse than selling it to outsiders." The old man who spoke was Jiang's father. ’s cousin, Grandpa Jiang’s cousin.

Jiang's father was an only son and had no brothers or sisters. However, unlike his family, his cousin's family was prosperous and gave birth to three sons and a daughter. Each of the three sons married and had children, the eldest grandson and the second grandson. Now they are all married and have two great-grandchildren.

There are more than 20 people in the family, and the few acres of land at home alone cannot support that many people, so they also rented the land from Jiang's father's family.

Jiang's father thought that his cousin's family was having a hard time, so he rented it to them cheaply. The rent per acre was 10% lower than the market price.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother have helped their family a lot over the years. However, when something happened to the Jiang family, the cousin's family didn't even come to visit them. They even thought of breaking off the relationship with them, for fear of being implicated.

Although Jiang's father and Jiang's mother did not expect that their cousin's family could help them, after all, their family was not well off, but this kind of adding insult to injury really chilled them.

For the first time in his life, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother realized what "if a family is rich, the family will be separated, and if the family is poor, brothers will be separated." When their family was in decline, they used to fawn over these relatives in their family, treating them as if they were gods of plague, and wished they could follow them. To put aside the relationship, there is no connection at all.

"Okay, one acre of good paddy fields costs 8 taels of silver, and dry land costs 5 taels of silver. We will only keep two acres of paddy fields for our own cultivation, and sell the rest for a total of 55 taels of silver." Father Jiang heard this. said.

"Fifty-five taels! This is too much!" Uncle Jiang's eldest son Jiang Fugui shouted after hearing this.

Father Jiang: "This is based on the market price. If you think it's expensive, you don't have to buy it."

Although he feels sorry for his uncle's family, if their family is willing to buy it, Jiang's father is still willing to sell it to them. After all, this land belongs to the old Jiang family. If he sells it to his uncle's family, the land still belongs to the Jiang family. It's just a matter of exchange. I just became a member of my cousin's room.

Jiang Fugui still wanted to speak, but his father stopped him.

"Taozi, we are a family after all. Do you think it can be cheaper? How about seven taels for paddy fields and four taels for dry land? You also know the situation of our family." Uncle Jiang played the family card and said, Bian was crying again.

"Before, our family was not short of money, so we always charged 10% less rent when renting to your family. Now our family is short of money, so we can't do less. If you think it's too expensive, then we can sell it to others. That's it." Jiang's mother said directly when she heard Uncle Jiang's words.

Their family was willing to give priority to selling the land to them regardless of their past grudges, but they actually wanted to take advantage of their family. They really thought that their family had no temper and liked to be taken advantage of.

"No, it's nothing. How could we find it expensive?" Uncle Jiang and his son said hurriedly when they saw that she wanted to sell it to someone else.

There are not many people selling land in this village. No one in Shanhe Village has sold land in several years. It is not easy for them to meet someone who wants to sell land. Naturally, they cannot let this opportunity pass.

I originally thought that since the two families are related, it would be cheaper, but it seems that they can't take any advantage at all.

But think about it, if my family hadn't immediately cut ties with their family when they heard that the Jiang family had offended a big shot, and even went around saying that they had severed ties with their family, I wouldn't have come to their house without giving them a little something. Affordable.

The Jiang family had priority in selling to them because they took into account the relationship between the two families. They were also afraid of making the Jiang family and his wife angry, so they refused to sell to them.

It's just that fifty-five taels of silver is too much, and they really can't come up with it.

In the end, Uncle Jiang's family only bought three acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land, spending a total of thirty-four taels of silver.

When they had to pay for it, it was very painful for their family. This was their family's savings for so many years, and it was all spent in one fell swoop.

As for the remaining two acres of paddy field and one acre of dry land, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother sold it to Aunt Wang's family next door. Aunt Wang's family is neighbors with the Jiang family. The relationship between the two families is not bad. Aunt Wang's youngest son was formerly Jiang's father's family. student, but since Jiang’s father’s accident, the school has been unable to operate.

There is a school in Jiangjia Village in the nearby village. Now, if those children still want to go to school, they can only go further away, or go to a private school in the town.

However, the fees charged by those places were much more expensive than those charged by Jiang's father. Many parents were reluctant to pay so much money, so they simply did not allow their children to continue studying.

Although Jiang's father felt sorry for the children who had no education, there was nothing he could do. His injuries had not healed yet, and his legs could not walk, so the school would definitely not be possible.

As for the repairs that the children had taught, Jiang's mother returned all the money to the parents of those children. After all, they could no longer teach the children, so they naturally had to return the money.

Although there has been less contact between the two families since the Jiang family's accident, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother are sensible people. It is good that Aunt Wang's family has not made any trouble to their family. They are alienated from their own family because they are afraid of being implicated.
