Jin Niang

When Su Mo Yan saw that everyone was looking at him with doubtful eyes, he could not help but look towards Jin Niang, as if calling for help.

Following his gaze, it was then that he saw Jin Niang unhurriedly say: "Uncle, Aunt, actually, it's not our family that wants to buy it, but the Uncle Han that came today. He said that he has great uses, and he did not tell me what that great uses is, and then I also did not know what he wanted."

Other people thought that he was embarrassed, but he was actually hiding his surprise. He did not think that Jin Niang would actually change the excuse he had given and bring out Shopkeeper Han.

After that, he started to sell them the silver taels per mu. Although he wasn't short on money, he couldn't cheat them either.

The upper grade fields cost eight taels of silver per mu of land, while the lower grade fields cost six taels of silver. The lower grade fields cost four taels of silver, and the lower grade fields cost four taels of silver.

If the hillside behind was right next to the wasteland, then they could calculate it together: two silver taels for an acre.

The wasteland combined with the mountain slope at the back of the mountain would make up at least ten acres of land. That was equivalent to thirty taels of silver. This was not a small amount.

Spending 30 taels of silver to buy a piece of barren land was quite useless. After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Mo Yan to let him make his decision.

Su Mo Yan glanced at Jin Niang. At that time, they already knew that the lower grade fields were worth four silver per mu, and the lower grade fields were extremely barren lands.

Therefore, it would be suitable to pay three taels of silver for that piece of barren land.

After he calculated, Jin Niang immediately had mixed feelings. They bought ten acres of wasteland for 30 taels of silver, then it would be close to 100 taels of silver if it was a high-quality field. It was so expensive!

No wonder farmers value the ground more than their lives.

Jin Niang calmly exchanged a glance with Su Moyan, then Su Moyan nodded and said, "Then let's do it. When are we going to get the land deed?"

Seeing him agree, Li Jun understood that the esteemed guest definitely did not lack that little bit of silver. In their eyes, an astronomical amount of silver might not mean anything to him, so she did not say anything more.

Moreover, being able to sell the wasteland and mountain slopes was also good for their village. Thus, after hearing Su Moyan's words, he said, "Wait a moment." Then he got up and went inside.

Su Moyan and Jin Niang looked at each other for some reason, thinking that they had to prepare something.

After a while, he came out with something in his hand. He walked up to Su Moyan and handed it to her.

Su Moyan picked it up and looked at it. She couldn't help but raise her head to look at it. "This is …"

Li Zheng also knew his doubts. This was because he had given Su Mo a land deed, which coincidentally belonged to the wasteland behind them.

He picked up his pipe and knocked it again, then said, "This land deed was made long ago, and the higher ups are also rushing to sell it. Unfortunately, no one is willing to buy it, so it has been put on hold for a long time."

"The slope at the back of the mountain belongs to our village. After we measure it, we will go to the county magistrate's office and prepare a case. The red deeds will belong to you. I'll go over to your village."

He also saw that Su Mo Yan wanted to read. Jin Niang was still too young, and it was inconvenient for Xia Lanqing to be alone with her, so he decided to help them out.

No matter what, they still helped him out by buying that piece of land. If he could help, he would help out.

Su Moyan and Jin Niang naturally smiled as they expressed their thanks and passed the thirty silver taels to Li Zheng before leaving.

Knowing that they still had things to do, Jin Niang smiled and told Linfang to let her go the next time they came back.

The two of them did not speak after they left. Because they knew that this was not the time to ask questions, Su Mo Yan remained silent all the way to home.

After entering the house, he briefly explained the situation to Xia Lanqing. Su Mo Yan then asked: "Why did you say that Shopkeeper Han wanted to buy it?"

Jin Niang was already prepared to be questioned, but she calmly replied: "Since you've already taken up Shopkeeper Han's banner, then just continue using it. It feels like it's quite useful, doesn't it?"

It was indeed easy to use. If they had said that he had bought land, Li Zheng would have questioned them nonstop. Even if he could have bought land, it wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it was now.

Therefore, Jin Niang nodded her head, "Then it's settled, it's fine if it's easy to use, don't mind the form."

Su Moyan: "…" Have you made up your mind what to do? "

Previously, Jin Niang had always been acting mysteriously, so he did not ask about it. However, now that she had already decided on something, Jin Niang could change her direction to the most advantageous one at any time, so he was no longer confident.

Jin Niang nodded his head, and no longer hid it from him, "I plan to dig a pond, plant lotus roots, raise fish, and beside it, plant a fruit tree."

Su Mo Yan raised an eyebrow. I didn't expect her to actually dare to think of such a thing!

"Digging out the fish pond is not something as simple as saying it." Su Moyan wasn't trying to dampen her enthusiasm, but she was able to point out the crux of the problem.

Jin Niang nodded, "I know about that." Naturally, she knew that it wouldn't be that easy. It wasn't like the future generations, with the excavator and a few shovels of water, they could easily dig out a fish pond. Now, they were all relying on manpower.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Su Moyan knew that she had made up her mind.

Thus, he asked another question, "What about the back mountain?" Isn't it just because of the wild acanthopanax?

Jin Niang blinked his eyes, "How about we plant acanthopanax s inside them?"

Su Moyan said, "It's your decision!"

Jin Niang smiled slightly, "I will set aside a plot of land for growing flowers and vegetables."

Su Mo smiled. "Have you forgotten about your flowers yet?"

"How could I forget?" She was still thinking about her flower tea and flower dew.

"When do you plan to start?" Digging the fish pond is not a small project.

Jin Niang thought about it, in fact, she could already do it now, but the weather in October was a little cold, but it was not too cold.

"How about we start in two days?" Jin Niang probed.

Su Mo Yan thought for a moment. "It's not impossible." The temperature in Spirit Mountain County was relatively high. Even in winter, the cold only lasted a dozen or twenty days.

Now that people had settled down and the ground wasn't frozen, it sometimes even drizzled a little, so it wasn't hard to dig up the ground.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Moyan and asked, "How much do you think a day's wages are appropriate?"

Su Moyan frowned and thought for a moment, "The number of days that a helper works in the town is fifteen dollars. Why don't we calculate it according to the number of helpers in the town?"

Jin Niang nodded his head, "Alright, then it's settled." Then, she thought of something, "Who cares about food?"

Seeing her frown, Su Mo Yan smiled, "Why don't you add a few extra coins and then stop caring about food?"

"How much?"

"Three pieces? Being able to buy three big meat buns is more or less enough for an adult to eat. "

Jin Niang nodded her head, "Alright, I will speak with Uncle Li Zheng now." She started to run out.

Su Moyan helplessly pulled her back, "What are you panicking for? Hong Qi hasn't been exchanged yet, why are you so worried?"

Jin Niang blinked her eyes, "Am I not afraid of forgetting?"

Su Moyan knew her fiery temperament, so she didn't say anything. She just instructed, "If you're free, go and chat with your mother." Don't be crazy outside all day long, don't dare to say the last sentence out loud.

Jin Niang didn't know what he was thinking, so she obediently went to find Xia Lanqing. Xia Lanqing was still making shoes for Jin Niang.

When she saw Jin Niang, she smiled and waved to him, and waited for Jin Niang to sit beside her and said: "You should learn how to use the red needle, while it's winter, I'll teach you."

Jin Niang:... Every time she heard it, her scalp would go numb. What should she do?

She had learnt it for so long, but it was only a crooked button. Embroidery or something like that, it was better to just kill her!

Seeing her expression, Xia Lanqing felt helpless, "How can girls not learn how to sew like a lady? When the time comes, how will they be able to stand at home?"

Jin Niang:... Damn it! Why does it have to be needlework to get married? I'm not marrying, okay?

Xia Lanqing pulled her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, no one can do it well in the beginning, so practice more slowly.

Jin Niang could only nod her head, what else could she say? Amongst them, Lin Xue had learned the best, so Liu Cuiping would often show off to the outside how capable his daughter was.

Jin Niang truly admired them, it was already impressive enough for them to have that kind of perseverance at such a young age.

The reason was so that he could marry a good family in the future. Hence, even starting to help her build up a strong family from now on, it was also with utmost consideration!
