Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

After hearing what her mother said, Zheng Xiaoman laughed out loud.

"Of course not. From now on, Dad and Mom will be the landlord and his wife."

Zheng Dashan sat aside and grinned, and Zhou Chunfeng also had a smile on her face.

"Now that you mention it, I feel it's a good idea. Father, I'll get you the money right away, and we'll go buy the land tomorrow."

Zheng Dashan responded happily, "Hey, I'll go tomorrow."

The next day, Old Man Zheng and Old Lady Zheng were shocked to hear that their second son's family was going to buy so much land together.

Did he miss something? Is the second son's family so rich now that he spent five or six hundred taels?

Zheng Dashan scratched his head and told his parents everything that had happened at home recently.

The old couple looked at each other for a long time after hearing this. It was really too shocking to hear this.

They knew that their son's family had business dealings with the master in the city, but all they knew was that cookbooks were sold.

I didn't expect that they had done so many things during this period of time.

The old couple have been busy with their daughter and granddaughter's marriage recently and have no time to pay attention to their son's family affairs.

However, they are sincerely happy that their second son's family is living a better and better life.

Old Man Zheng said with a smile: "It's good to buy land. This land is the root of us farmers. Wait a minute, Dad will go with you to find the village chief."

Old man Zheng went back to the house and changed his clothes. The clothes were newly made for him by his daughter-in-law, using the fabric that Cao Jun had sent.

After he made it, he was reluctant to wear it, but today he finally put it on.

You know what, no wonder people say that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.

The old man put on new clothes, straightened his back, and looked a lot more energetic.

Wang Dehai looked at the father and son who came to his house, wondering what they came to see him about.

"Uncle, Dashan, why are you here?"

He smiled and let the two people into the house, and after they sat down, he poured them some water.

Old Man Zheng said with a smile: "Haha, we came here this time to buy some more land."

When Wang Dehai heard about this, he didn't take it too seriously. "Uncle, which piece of land do you want to buy? See if this one is big enough. This one is connected to another piece of land with five acres."

Wang Dehai took the booklet and showed it to Old Man Zheng.

Old Man Zheng took a look and then looked away, "Dehai, we have a lot of land to buy this time, this piece is not enough."

Wang Dehai raised his eyebrows. Five acres of land were not enough. How much land should they buy?

He asked tentatively, "There are still ten acres of land here. Have you seen enough?"

Old man Zheng shook his head and just smiled without saying anything.

Wang Dehai was a little shocked. He knew that Zheng Laoer's family had already bought a lot of land. Wouldn't it be enough to add another ten acres of land?

"Uncle, then tell me, how much land do you plan to buy this time?"

Old Man Zheng didn't keep it a secret any longer. "We want to buy 200 acres of mountain land and another 50 acres of good farmland."

"Snapped"

"what?"

Wang Dehai screamed and the book in his hand fell to the ground.

Old Man Zheng was very satisfied with his reaction. "Haha, you heard it right. We do want to buy more of this land."

Wang Dehai sat down again and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

My goodness, has the Zheng family made a fortune? Buying so much land at once?

He picked up a glass of water and drank it to calm himself down. After a long while, he said, "Uncle, there is no such large piece of land in our village."

This time Zheng Dashan spoke up: “Village chief, we want to buy the dozen acres of land near our home, and then buy some in the village.”

Wang Dehai picked up the booklet on the ground and flipped through it. Indeed, there were more than ten acres of vacant land near Zheng's house.

"Okay, then in addition to this piece of land, I'll give you these ten acres of land as well.

The remaining contiguous area is the one adjacent to Zhaojia Village."

Old man Zheng took a look and nodded. This place was close to his son-in-law's home, and he could ask them to help take care of the child.

They have agreed to send some sweet potato seedlings to their son-in-law's family in the early spring of next year so that they can also grow sweet potatoes together.

Seeing that they had no objection, Wang Dehai began to write land deeds for them.

After writing it, he said to the two of them, "I will take the deed to the county government tomorrow to get your seal, and then you can give me the money."

In fact, he really wanted to ask them why they bought so much land, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Forget it. Even if he asked now, they probably wouldn't tell him.

He shouldn't bother with that, because he will find out what's wrong sooner or later.

Zheng Dashan left behind the two pieces of pork and pastries he had brought with him, and gave the village chief five taels of silver. Only then did he and his father leave the village chief's house.

Wang Dehai did not refuse. He wanted to get the land deed quickly, so he would definitely have to give some benefits to the people in the government office.

He was a very capable village chief and went to the county town early the next morning in a ox cart.

In the afternoon, two yamen runners came with him.

Zheng Dashan first invited the two officials home for tea, and then served them some cakes made by his daughter.

After the two yamen runners had eaten and drunk their fill, they went up the mountain to measure the land with a smile on their face.

The results of treating them well were obvious. When measuring the land for them, the two of them measured out nearly half an acre of land.

By the time we finished measuring, it was almost dark, so we definitely couldn't just let people leave like this.

Zheng Dashan called the village chief and took the two yamen runners back to have a sumptuous dinner.

This time, Zhou Chunfeng and other female relatives did not sit at the table. The table was occupied only by the men in the family.

When the two yamen runners learned that Zheng Qingming and Lixia were both studying, they couldn't help but look at this family with a new respect.

Nowadays, there are not many people who can afford to send their children to school, especially farming families like this one.

But think about it, this family can come up with so much money to buy land at once, it is obvious that they are not poor.

It is not too difficult to support two students.

Although they were both yamen runners, they were just rough men who knew a few words and had never attended a proper school.

They all admired and envied people who knew books, so Zheng Dashan and the others clearly felt that the two men were much more polite when speaking to them.

After dinner, Zheng Dashan drove the ox cart to take the two to the town to stay in an inn.

Zheng Dashan doesn't have to pay for staying in the inn. They can get their accommodation reimbursed when they go back home while performing official duties.

Zheng Dashan arranged for the two of them and then drove the ox cart back home.

By the time he got home, it was already midnight.

But finally all the procedures for buying the land were completed, and he could sleep peacefully.

How could the people in the village not know about such a big commotion in their house?

When people in the village learned that their family had actually bought several hundred acres of land this time, they had different thoughts.

Yang Changqing, Zhao Laosan and others came to congratulate him. They were all genuinely happy for Zheng Dashan.

Some even came over to ask them why they bought so much.

Of course, there are also some ignorant people who actually come to ask them how they made the money to buy the land.

This person is none other than my eldest sister-in-law Ma Meihua.

Old Mrs. Zheng didn't tolerate her and just chased her out with a broom.

Even though Ma Meihua was not convinced, she didn't dare to say anything.

There is another person here whose thoughts are different from everyone else, and that person is La Mei Niang.
