My Gentleman Reborn

Chapter 19 Cong Di

He Yuzhou got up helplessly: "Grandma Cong joked, I don't care, it's because Yuzhou didn't think carefully, it's not the right time to come, Yuzhou will visit again next time."

After speaking, he turned his head and left, and the woman frowned: "Just leave as you please, don't pay too much attention to what Cong Li said, she is still young..."

He Yuzhou was very helpless, he really didn't care, no matter how people who had nothing to do with him thought of him, he didn't care.

But he was really too lazy to answer, the old woman gave him a very bad feeling when he came last time.

"...Why is this child so arrogant? The elders are talking to her, who does she think she is! She doesn't even turn her head! Also, a girl's family should really dress up like a girl, how indecent it is to wear a man's clothes .” (For information about indiscretion, please see what the author has to say)

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, He Yuzhou heard the old woman muttering, followed by the village chief yelling - that's enough.

He Yuzhou sighed, it seemed that he had to find a better time to come over again.

"Girl, wait." A voice came from behind.

When He Yuzhou turned around, it was the village chief's eldest son who first scolded Cong Li's man—— Cong Di.

He Yuzhou was taken aback, and stopped, Congdi smiled apologetically and said, "I'll see you off."

He Yuzhou nodded, and walked in front silently, He Di said: "My sister said something wrong just now, I apologize for her, what's the matter with the girl coming to see my father?"

He Yuzhou said: "You can also call me Xiaozhou. The girl sounds awkward. I originally wanted to ask the village chief about buying land and building a house, but I didn't know the time. I came at the wrong time."

The man smiled honestly when he heard the words: "It's really not the right time for Xiaozhou to come."

"..." He Yuzhou glanced back at him, Congdi said, "Actually, we were just discussing the separation of the family..."

"..." He Yuzhou was stunned.

Cong Di said: "Xiao Zhou may not know much about my family's situation, but you should also know that my father is old and can't take care of many things. He wants to give the village head to me or my second brother. The second brother has always been silent. He doesn't care about general things, so my father wants me to be the next village head, but if I become the village head, I will lose a share of the family property. It has already been divided, but my younger sister and mother disagree. Give them a share for the elderly, and my younger sister said that she is also a member of the family and wants a share."

"Mother's father agreed, and my younger sister's father said that she will marry someone. When we pay the dowry, she will not think about the family property. So when you came, she just happened to be in a bad mood."

"...You don't need to tell me so much." He Yuzhou turned his head.

Cong Di scratched his head and said, "I always think it's better to say it clearly, my little sister is not targeting Xiaozhou, but just lost her temper in a bad mood."

He Yuzhou sighed: "I really don't care."

As he said that, he changed the subject and said, "You want to take over the village chief's affairs, so you probably know the land price? I think of the house..."

Cong Di was stunned and said, "It's probably clear, but you only moved to Xiaozhou for more than a month... When you came here, you were penniless, do you really want to start a house now?"

"No." He Yuzhou shook his head: "I just bought the land first, and I probably wait until everyone is done with the farm work."

"So..." Cong Di said, "When the time comes to build the house and need help, Xiaozhou will count me in."

"Okay." He Yuzhou replied, this man was as enthusiastic and honest as Brother Guan, and much better than the two girls in his family.

"Where does Xiaozhou want to buy?" Cong Di asked He Yuzhou.

He Yuzhou said: "Just inside the mouth of the river, there is a bamboo forest, and there is a large open space outside the bamboo forest. I like it there."

"Where?" Cong Di frowned: "A girl like you lives so far away..."

"It's okay, I can build a wall, and I'm very strong." He Yuzhou replied casually.

Cong Di wanted to say something else, but seeing He Yuzhou's determined look, he changed the subject and said, "The land in that place is not expensive, but it's located in a remote place, so I'm afraid it won't be sold alone..."

"Not for sale alone?" He Yuzhou was puzzled.

Cong Di said: "This is the government's regulation. In some places, the land has to be bought together. If I remember correctly, the land outside the bamboo forest has to be bought together with the bamboo forest. It is five taels per mu. What about the bamboo forest?" It is said that there are three or four acres, and you have to spend 20 taels for this land alone, so what else do you need to build a house?"

"Compared to the neighboring villages, our village is a little poorer, but it is relatively rich when counting the remote areas. The craftsmen who make the furniture are more expensive, and the prices of materials are the same as those in the town because it is close to the town. All of these add up to ten taels even if you build a small house, plus you have to add something to the house, so it’s hard to get started if you don’t have a hundred taels, can you think about it clearly, Xiaozhou?”

After speaking, Cong Di said again: "Why don't you buy a piece of land in a remote place, such as the one at Guan Da Niang's house where you live now, the price will be one or two more expensive than the one in the bamboo forest, but if you want If you want to build a house, one acre is very wide, and you can even buy half an acre. Then borrow the furniture from the aunt’s house, and then ask the neighbors to help, and ask people to go up the mountain to cut down some trees for building materials... This way it will probably be possible. Reduced to 60 taels, like Mrs. Guan lived in a house built at 60 taels, which is worse than your current thatched hut, and it is considered comfortable to live in.”

He Yuzhou frowned and thought for a while when he heard the words, and finally shook his head and said, "Brother Cong, I still like the bamboo forest."

"..." Cong Di was silent, and finally sighed: "Then it's up to you."

He Yuzhou smiled and asked, "Then what should I do if I want to buy that piece of land?"

"It's very convenient to buy land now. When you want to buy it, I'll go with you to measure the land. After the measurement, you can go to the county government to register with me with your household registration and bank balance."

"County government..."

"Are you going to the county seat?" He Yuzhou frowned.

Cong Di said: "Yes, none of the officials live in the town, but we still have to get the land deed, and the household registration also needs to be registered."

He Yuzhou frowned. If he went to the county to register, then he...

However, he used to be the young lady of the He family who didn't stay out of the house, so he expected that no one would know her.

It's just why he has left the He family, and he still has to be so close to that He family.

He Yuzhou pursed his lips and thought, if possible, he really wanted to stay away from the place where the He family lived for the rest of his life.

Sighing deeply, He Yuzhou looked back at Cong Di and said, "Brother Cong, send it here first. If you are free tomorrow, we will measure the land and go to the county town to buy the land in the future."

Cong Di was taken aback: "Are you really planning to buy it?"

He Yuzhou nodded: "If you don't buy it, I won't ask."
