Zhao Wuma and others helped to clean up and were ready to go back. My uncle went to the kitchen to pack some vegetables for them to take away.There are only three of them in the family, and it would be a waste if they can't finish eating in a day or two, so it's better to give it away.Zhao Wumo and the others went back with a full load of meat, smiling all over their faces.

The guests left with a mouth full of greasy food, and the helpers went home happily with leftovers.The three of Shen Xi were left, and they were not used to being so quiet for a while.Dr. Qiao walked past Shen Yu with his hands behind his back: "Tomorrow I will go to the village chief with you."

Knowing that Dr. Qiao wanted to back him up, Shen Xi fully agreed.The adoptive father has recognized it, and the school has been prepared, so it should go well, right?

In the early morning of the next day, Dr. Qiao picked up a dozen eggs and led Shen Xi to the village chief's house.The village head, Zhao Wu, got up not long after he saw Dr. Qiao and Shen Yu came to the door and probably knew something, so he smiled and invited them in.Shen Xi gave the basket to Zhao Wumo.

After receiving the basket, Zhao Wumo smiled when she saw the eggs inside and said, "Come here, bring anything. Sit inside."

Entering the main room, several people sat down on the bench.Dr. Qiao is rare and kind: "Village chief, Boy Shen just recognized me as a adoptive father, and he didn't contribute much to the village. He thought, it's not a big deal for these children to fight around all day, why not run a school."

"Running a school?" Zhao Wu didn't expect it to be for this matter, it was a big surprise, "Have you thought about what to do?"

"Village chief, don't worry, I've already found a teacher. He's a scholar in the county, and he can teach at any time after the school is built." Shen Yan smiled, "I'd like to ask the village chief to choose an address, and I'll pay for the school. It can also be regarded as repaying the village."

"Okay, I knew boy Shen was a good one." Zhao Wuxi was overjoyed. It would be a great thing to have a school in the village.

Zhao Wuma listened, and quickly made a pot of tea foam and said happily: "From now on, there will not be many scholars in the village."

It's a great thing, Zhao Wu naturally didn't want to have long nights and dreams, so he hurriedly asked his son to invite several respected elders in the clan.Zhao Wu was grinning from ear to ear. It was naturally his credit to run the school during his tenure.Soon he will be the most respectable village chief within a hundred miles.

Seeing that Zhao Wu was very happy, Shen Xi lowered his eyes and sipped his tea.He had never drunk such a bitter tea, and Shen Hao almost vomited it out, even though he didn't drink tea much.Shen Yan swallowed to relieve the bitter taste in his mouth: "The village chief is happy, why don't you also deal with my purchase of land."

The smile gradually disappeared on his face, and Zhao Wu figured out the joints.Shen Xi didn't want to repay the village for running a school, but it was clearly to buy land.If the school is completed, it is not impossible for Shen Xi to buy land in the village.Zhao Wu thought about it and said, "Ask the seller."

Zhao Wumo immediately went to Li San's family, Shen Xi didn't remember who Li San was at first, but when she saw Li San's sister-in-law who was helping her at home last night, she got a little impression.The five elders of the family, their descendants and Li San's family arrived one after another, and the room was full of stands for a while.

Too many guests, not enough stools.Zhao Wuma asked Zhao Li and Zhao He to go to the neighbor's house to borrow a few, and they went there immediately.

Old Mrs. Lin was supported by Boss Lin and sat down slowly.Old Mrs. Lin looked at Shen Yu and nodded with satisfaction: "Good boy."

"Now that everyone is here." Village Chief Zhao Wu presided over the overall situation, "Let's talk about running a school in detail."

"Wait." Shen Xie put down his tea, took out melon seeds from his pocket, and knocked, "Let's talk about my land purchase first."

The implication is that if the land is bought, a school will be established, and if it is not bought, it will be separated.Zhao Wu looked at Li San: "Li San, tell me."

Li San opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Li San's sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "We sell the land, but only two acres. We don't sell the upper fields, only the lower fields. Our family's lower fields are fatter than other people's upper fields. 15 per mu is the same price.”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the audience. Isn't this obviously a scam?Shen Xi raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Li San, originally thinking that they had a little friendship, and the land purchase should go smoothly.It turned out that he was too naive, there was nothing human to talk about in front of interests.

Shen Xi didn't speak, and continued to eat melon seeds.Dr. Qiao stood up angrily and pointed at Mrs. Li San and scolded: "It's okay to ask for 15 taels for your broken field. I think five taels is enough. If you want us to be taken advantage of, don't even think about it. At worst, we won't buy it!"

Li Sansao didn't care about Dr. Qiao's threats, and said confidently, "If you don't buy it, we won't sell it."

Zhao Wu couldn't see it and said: "How can you sell land like this. Boy Shen is half a villager now, so be kind."

"Half a villager is only half." Mrs. Li San didn't let go, "It's not 15 taels, and I won't sell it here."

A group of people looked at this and then that, discussing in low voices.Dr. Qiao wanted to say something more, but Shen Xi pulled him to sit down.

Dr. Qiao sat down angrily, and glared at Li Sansao.Shen Hao glanced at Mrs. Li San, money was not a problem, he just felt that it was not worthwhile to buy only two acres of land for so many things he had done.Speaking of it, it is not necessary to buy land in Wuhu Village, and it is the same to buy land elsewhere and ask someone to take care of it.Shen Hao has decided to go to other villages after finishing the business here, and if it doesn't work, he will go to the county government to buy official land.

Seeing that Shen Yu didn't speak, Zhao Wu suggested: "Let's discuss the matter of running the school first. The matter of buying the land will be discussed later."

Old Mrs. Lin nodded: "You can discuss the matter of buying the land yourself. Running a school is a major event in the village, let's talk about it first."

The respected elder opened his mouth, and the villagers naturally had nothing to say.However, Shen Hao didn't give face. If he didn't meet his expectations, he couldn't talk about running a school.Shen Xi spat out the melon seed shell in his mouth, and said leisurely: "What's the rush, I can't delay."

Zhao Wu thought for a while and found a compromise: "There are more than ten acres of public land in the village. If you want to buy it, I will sell it to you."

There was a smile on the corners of Shen Xi's lips, which was more or less the same.He looked up at Zhao Wu: "Tell me the price of those fields."

"Five acres of farmland, one mu of 13 taels; five acres of middle field, one mu of eight taels; three acres of field, one mu of three taels." Zhao Wu wanted to finalize the matter of running the school, even if he sold the public land, "Are you sure you want it, wait Let's go and see. Now let's talk about running a school."

Seeing that Zhao Wu took out the public land, Li Sansao immediately changed her words: "I will sell five acres of middle land, one mu for ten taels, no less."

Shen Hao didn't care about the extra one or two taels, he would have [-] mu of land after buying it this time, so he could be considered a small landlord.It's finally done.

The disdain of Liu Laosan's family snorted coldly: "Thank you for speaking out. Can your Zhongtian compare with Gongtian?"

Sansao Li glared at Liu Laosan's family, and didn't bother to answer.She looked at everyone and said, "The village chief said before that boy Shen is half of the villagers, and this half is also discounted. Boy Shen, you bought so much land in the village, who will be responsible if you run away? I think so, Boy Shen is also at the age of marriage, why don't you marry someone from our village. That way our hearts will be put in our stomachs, don't you think?"

Hearing this, everyone chatted quietly.They all knew that Shen Xi was a rich man, so they were certainly worried about buying so much land in the village.If Shen Xi can marry a village girl or elder brother, they will really be at ease as the son-in-law of the village.I have to say that everyone was moved.

Mrs. Lin was not happy about being humiliated by Shen before.He patted the chair with his hand and said seriously: "I think it will work."

The elders agreed, and other people who were already thinking about it had no reason not to agree.Zhao Wu smiled and looked at Shen Yu: "Boy Shen, there are so many daughters and brothers in our village, you can pick any one you like. We decide to let you get married, double happiness."

Congratulations were heard one after another, and Shen Xi almost laughed angrily.Dr. Qiao frowned, but stopped yelling angrily.

Everyone thought it was a good idea. They all had daughters and brothers in their families, and it was better to marry Shen Xi than a man in the village.They persuaded Shen Xi one by one, and promoted their daughters and brothers one by one.Shen Hao just finds it ridiculous, the so-called parents' orders, haha.

"You guys really have a good idea." Shen Hao threw away the melon seeds and clapped his hands, no smile on his face, "Who are you to me? What qualifications do you have to decide my marriage? Make it clear, I'm buying land, not selling myself .Is the land in your village full of gold? Not only will I run a school for you, I will pay for the land, and I will marry someone from your village. Let me tell you, go ahead and dream.”

Li Sansao stood up angrily, pointed at Shen Yu and scolded: "You! What are you! You begged us to sell the land!"

"Originally I didn't want to overthrow things. I wanted to talk about things that I could sit down and talk about." Shen Yu stood up and glared at everyone, "But you are deceiving people too much! You are not the only ones in Wuhu Village who have land to buy, I also I don’t have to run a school in your village. I’m leaving my words here today, and unless you come to ask me, I will never run a school in Wuhu Village. I have more choices.”

Helping Dr. Qiao up, Shen Xi turned around and glanced at Mrs. Li San: "I have a lot of money, and I'll go to another village right away after leaving this gate. I don't believe that all the villages in the world are like you, for their own benefit, regardless of future generations! I hope you will not Will regret it."

Shen Xi helped Dr. Qiao take the eggs he brought up and left without turning back, leaving a group of people looking at each other in blank dismay.Zhao Wumo saw that Shen Xie had taken the eggs away, and wanted to chase them back, but in the end she gave up.Old Mrs. Lin was trembling with anger, a junior didn't give him face.

Zhao Wu wanted to fight for another chance: "Everyone, what should we do with this matter? If he really wants to run the school in another village, we..."

"If he wants to go to other villages, he has already gone, and he won't wait until now." Mrs. Li San doesn't think Shen Xie can do such a thing, "The important thing now is that we don't let go. Once we let go, he will buy so much land. What will our village do in the future?"

Some people nodded in agreement; some frowned and didn't know what they were thinking;They were sure that Shen Hao would not dare to do that, and as long as they struggled for a few more days, they believed that Shen Hao would agree to their conditions and marry the daughter brother in the village.

Of course, all they think about are their own daughters and brothers.Those from other families are delusional, and they are completely incomparable with their own.

Just as Shen Hao and Dr. Qiao walked out of the village chief's house, many women and brothers surrounded them.They had already noticed that many guests had come to the village chief's house today, and they had been peeking outside, but they didn't hear anything.One of the women stepped forward and asked, "Boy Shen, what's going on at the village head's house today? Called all the old masters away, so nothing serious will happen, right?"

"It's not a big deal." Shen Yu smiled lightly, "I plan to run a school in the village. But they disagree."

The women were shocked.Another middle-aged brother asked: "Why don't you agree? Running a school is a good thing."

"I don't know either." Shen Xi smiled helplessly, "Maybe they think it's okay if the children in the village don't study."

After speaking, Shen Xi and Dr. Qiao left.Dr. Qiao glanced at Shen Yu out of the corner of his eyes, and said nothing, nothing was superfluous.
