The Space Doctor Became the Favorite of the Exiled Powerful Minister - #81 - Chapter 81: buy land

After Jiang Zhiluo figured it out, her expression softened, she shook her head and said, “I’ve slept well, no need to sleep more.”

 “I’ll get up first.”

With that said, Jiang Zhiluo got up and got out of bed to wash up.

Cui Hejin also got up.

While Jiang Zhiluo was washing in the yard, Cui Hejin told Mrs. Cui about the location of the homestead.

Cui Hejin comforted Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Cui was no longer worried about her safety.

“Well, you should spend more time with Zhiluo on weekdays and go home early after class.”

“Zhiluo will feel safer if you stay with her.”

 “Women, they still want their husbands to be by their side.”

Mrs. Cui gave Cui Hejin advice based on her own experience.

Cui Hejin glanced at Jiang Zhiluo who was busy in the yard and felt that she had a different temperament from her mother.

 She may not need companionship like her mother does.

 …

Jiang Zhiluo naturally didn’t know this.

While having breakfast, Mrs. Cui said: “Zhiluo, after thinking about it, I will build the homestead behind the village as you said. It will be safer if Hejin goes home early after school.”

 No, mother, do you have some misunderstanding about safety?

Jiang Zhiluo blinked and glanced at Cui Hejin, not knowing how he convinced her mother.

“Mom, since we have decided this way, after dinner, we will go to Uncle Li Zheng to measure the land, so that we can go to the Yamen early to get the land deed.”

 Only the red deed that has been stamped by the Yamen is the real land deed, and it is guaranteed to be held in your hand.

Mrs. Cui nodded and said, “Okay, earlier.”

“While the weather is warm, we can find someone to build the house early. In half a month, everyone will be busy farming.”

 From mid-to-late March to April, the villagers began to be busy planting wheat, corn, peanuts, vegetables and other crops.

　　Since March has just entered and everyone is not so busy, you can hire people from the village to help build a house.

 Hire more people and it can be built sooner.

Since they have decided to buy land, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui will not go to the town to set up a stall selling chive boxes that day.

After breakfast, it was still a little early, so Cui Hejin accompanied Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui to Lizheng’s house.

As soon as they reached the door, they heard a loud voice inside.

“What, it actually costs six taels of silver. Our village girls don’t ask for such expensive gifts. Six taels of silver, how dare you ask for it!” This was Zhu’s voice in shock and disbelief.

Another woman said: “Don’t worry. This girl is indeed a flower in the village. She is pretty and capable. Her parents have agreed to give her a bride price of at least six taels of silver.”

“The bride price is a bit expensive, but marrying your Zhou Zhaoxi a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law and watching them live a good life will make you feel comfortable.”

　　Mr. Zhu said with a headache: “The key is that my family can’t afford six taels of silver.”

Zhu Shi discussed in a low voice: “Can’t two taels of silver work?”

“Oh, don’t be fooled by the amount of bride price that the Cui family in your village spends on marrying a daughter-in-law. Nowadays, any family that is good-looking and capable of working will not ask for a lot of bride price when marrying a daughter.”

“The conditions in your village are poor, the land is sparse and barren. You will know if you ask around. Many families are not willing to marry their daughters to your village, so the bride price must be at least four taels of silver.”

Mrs. Zhu said in a low voice: “Hey, I just said that Zhiluo’s child is good, and the Jiang family is also a good family. Who would have thought that Zhiluo’s child would like the Cui family’s child?”

 Zhu originally planned to tell it to his son.

 She likes Zhi Luo from the bottom of her heart.

Although I looked a little stupid and not very smart in the past, I am a nice person.

 But now the more I look at it, the more I feel that this child has grown up, as if he has suddenly become enlightened and understands more. Jiang Zhiluo was listening at the door, wondering why she was involved, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

Mrs. Cui sighed inwardly. Fortunately, she had asked her son to marry Zhiluo back earlier.

 As for the emotion in Cui Hejin’s eyes, no one knows.

Jiang Zhiluo was next to him and always felt that there was a chill coming from him. She didn’t know if it was an illusion.

Jiang Zhiluo felt a little embarrassed and thought about going home first.

At this time, someone from the village went up the mountain and passed by. When they saw Mrs. Cui and her family, they smiled and said hello: “Sister Cui, you are looking for Li Zheng. They are at home, why don’t you come in.”

People in the village are naturally loud when speaking.

 Perhaps some young women speak softly at first, but after staying in the village for a few years, their voices become louder.

This statement was heard by everyone in the courtyard.

 Hurry out of the house.

“Oh, Sister Cui, He Jin Zhi Luo, you are here.”

 The other woman may have felt that it was not the right time to stay and talk, so she said hello to Mrs. Zhu and left.

 Zhu Shi warmly entertained Mrs. Cui and the others.

Mrs. Zhu was shocked when she learned that she was going to buy a one-acre homestead, but she came to her senses in a flash and shouted toward the back room: “Zhaohe, go to the fields and call your father back.”

 After a while, a young boy ran out, politely called Mrs. Cui and the others, and then ran out.

　　Mr. Zhu poured water for Mrs. Cui and the others, and chatted with them. Soon, Li Zheng came back with a hoe.

Li Zheng said excitedly: “Nephew Cui Xian, do you really want to buy the homestead behind the village, buy an acre of land?”

“But let me tell you first, we villagers don’t like to buy land behind that, across the valley, and even if the land over there is enclosed for planting something, the land is very barren and not suitable for growing things.”

“And the price is not cheap, four taels of silver per acre of homestead land, which is also the price set by the county government.”

 Because of this, that piece of land was planned as a homestead.

They are all from the same village, and Li was thinking of telling them about the situation first.

Cui Hejin said softly: “Thank you Uncle Zhou for informing us, but we still decided to buy a one-acre homestead there. We may need to ask Uncle Zhou to help us measure it.”

Looking at the Cui family’s decision, Zhou Zhengde couldn’t say anything else.

“Okay, I’ll take you to the measuring field at the back and help you measure a good place.”

 “Thank you, Uncle Zhou.”

“We are from the same village, and our two families are close to each other, so there is no need to say these things.”

Zhou Zhengde was also happy for the Cui family. He did not expect that the Cui family would be able to buy their own homestead and build a house so soon.

 After measuring the land, it was time for Cui Hejin to go to school.

Cui Hejin went to town with Jiang Zhiluo.

Jiang Zhiluo also needs to take the braised pig meat she cooked last night so that she can put it on consignment at Lin Zhuzhu’s meat stall.

But with Cui Hejin accompanying her, it was inconvenient for her to make room.

I was a little worried about what to do, but Zhou Zhaoxi drove an ox cart over. He said enthusiastically and cheerfully: “Brother Cui, sister Jiang, I heard from my parents that you are going to the town, and I happened to be going to the town too. By the way, I’ll take you with me.”

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin and found that his expression was not strange, so she nodded and said, “Thank you so much, Brother Zhou.”

As soon as Jiang Zhiluo finished saying this, she heard Cui Hejin cough.

 “Ahem…” (End of this chapter)
