Chapter 61 Enemies meet on a narrow road
"My mother and I have just arrived in Changning Village, and we still have many things to trouble the village chief. Please don't refuse this small gift."
The head of the village was very conflicted about the braised pig's trotters sent by Ye Shian. On the one hand, he thought they were delicious because of the tempting color, but on the other hand, he felt that she was very stingy by sending these pig's trotters and ears without any meat on them.
Then I thought that the other person was new and I didn't want to offend him, so I had to accept it.
"If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. As the head of the village, I will do my best to help you."
Ye Shian was not polite either: "I do need help from Uncle Lizheng. We want to build the house while the weather is warm, but my mother and I are new here and we don't know anyone..."
Before Ye Shian finished speaking, the head of the village spoke up: "That's easy. Wang Qiang's family also wants to build a house, so you can build one together."
Ye Shian raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence! Her family and Wang Qiang's family really have a connection.
"How much do you plan to pay for this?"
Ye Shian was stunned. She had never thought of this. "It depends on the market. We should pay the workers here the same amount per day."
The head of the village nodded and said, "For helping to build a house here, the minimum payment is fifteen cents, but some families will give twenty cents."
"Then it's twenty cents a day, and I get a meal at noon."
The village head was surprised: "You also provide meals?"
Ye Shian nodded: "I'll take care of the meal."
"Okay, I'll help you build the house tomorrow."
Only twenty cents a day, which is the price of ten meat buns, and it’s not too expensive for a meal.
But she forgot that this was in ancient times, when poultry were free-range and the supply of meat was different from that of modern times, so meat buns were naturally more expensive.
In ancient times, there were not so many jobs for the people. Most people who farmed only farmed, and only a few people had jobs. Because of this, coolies in ancient times were particularly worthless.
The head of the village wanted to remind her that she didn't need to provide food with 20 cents a day, but then he thought that she had money and could spend it however she wanted.
Ye Shian happened to speak again at this time: "Uncle Lizheng, there is one more thing I want to ask you. We are now considered people of Changning Village, so do we have land to farm?"
"You have become a resident of Changning Village. Naturally, your family has land in Changning Village. However, there is no extra land for you to farm at the moment. However, it is not that there is no land for you to farm. You can rent land or open up wasteland."
She knew that renting land to farm was called a tenant. The land was rented from a landlord, and the landlord would take a commission every year. After working hard all year, they might only be able to make ends meet.
Ye Shian didn't want to be a tenant farmer. If she wanted to be a landlord, she would be a landlord. As for reclaiming wasteland...
"What if we need to open up new land?"
The village head changed his tone and replied, "The wasteland to the west of the river belongs to our village, as does the land at the foot of the mountain to the north. You can reclaim all of this land. Now, whoever reclaims it will own it and be exempted from taxes for one year. However, we have the most land in Changning Village, and no one is willing to reclaim wasteland."
The government can also exempt taxes for one year, so it is not that the court has done nothing: "Are there no other expenses?"
"If you want to buy good land, you will definitely have to pay for it. But there is no good land in our village now. It's all wasteland. We don't charge for wasteland. We will exempt you from taxes for one year. This is also a favor from our government to you."
Ye Shian thought about the wasteland to the north of the village. There were many large rocks there and it was not suitable for farming at all.
"I think the land east of the river is good, why is it also wasteland?"
"We have few people and a lot of land here, otherwise we wouldn't have let you come to Wanning Prefecture. The most important thing is that we have land. The area west of the river is far from our village. You've seen the only bridge that can be crossed. When the river rises in summer, the bridge is no longer accessible. It's very inconvenient. In addition, there are wild boars and badgers that always spoil the food. In short, no one grows crops there."
Ye Shian thought of the small bridge not far from her home. The bridge was built with stones and would be impassable if the river water rose.
After saying that, the village head added: "But the land over there is still good. It won't be a waste if someone cultivates it."
Ye Shian tilted her head and thought for a moment. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, far away from the crowd, this place was perfect for her. She had so many seeds in her space, it would be a waste if she didn't plant them. So a large piece of land was enough for her to plant.
"Uncle Lizheng, I want those wastelands."
The village head had no objection: "If you want to plant, then plant. But I think you can get a piece of land nearby to plant."
Ye Shian shook his head: "No, I want that piece of land. Uncle Lizheng, how many acres of land is there?"
"About one hundred and seventy acres of land."
"So many?" Ye Shian didn't expect there would be so many. With such a large piece, she could do whatever she wanted.
"Uncle Lizheng, whoever opens the land will own it?"
The head of the village nodded: "Yes, Miss Ye, you don't want to open up all that area, do you?"
Ye Shian nodded seriously: "Yes, Uncle Lizheng, is there any way to make that piece of land under my name now?"
"If you want to find a solution, then of course we should just buy the land. However, it is wasteland and few people would be willing to spend money to buy it."
"I'll buy."
Li Zheng: "..."
Even though the land was barren and no one in the village wanted to cultivate it, she actually bought it...
It’s really hard to guess what rich people are thinking.
A man was sneaking around at the main entrance of the village. He had just seen a familiar figure and he had to confirm whether it was the little bitch he met on the road.
The little bitch who got his third brother injured.
Seeing someone coming out of the headman's house, Feng Si quickly hid himself and only dared to come out after the person had gone far away.
"It's really her!" Feng Si didn't dare to delay and ran back home to tell his family the news.
The Feng family, consisting of fourteen people, were the first group to arrive in Changning Village. They bought a yard from a villager.
Although the house is shabby, the yard is big enough to accommodate their family of more than ten people.
Feng Si came back in a hurry. Feng San's child and Feng Er's little girl started quarreling for some unknown reason. The two children lay in their mother's arms and cried.
"Something serious has happened."
Feng Da was having a headache because of the quarrels between the two children. Seeing the fourth child coming back, he couldn't help but frowning, "What big deal can happen at this time?"
"Do you remember the woman and the man who injured our third brother?"
Feng San rushed out of the house: "Lao Si, did you say you saw those two women?"
Feng Si nodded: "I saw him. He came out of the village head's house today."
Feng Da's face was grim. If it weren't for the treatment of the third child's injury, they would have had some savings. "Great, they've moved in too."
Mrs. Feng came out from the kitchen and asked, "Old Fourth, are you serious?"
"Sister-in-law, can this be false? I saw it for real. When that little bitch went to the headman's house, she was still carrying something in her hands. When she left, the headman himself saw her off."
"It's true that enemies often meet on a narrow road. Guess who I just ran into? The woman who injured the third brother actually came to this village."
As soon as Feng Eryi entered the house, he shouted at the top of his lungs just like Feng Si. When he thought of the mother and daughter, he felt a dull pain in his knees again. The girl had beaten him so hard that he was lame for several days.
Feng San clenched his fists and said, "Brother, we can't let those two women go."
Mrs. Feng Da hit Feng San on the head with a shovel: "What do you want to do?"
