The peasant girl led her mother and sister to become rich
Chapter 17 The Source of Money
"Uncle village chief, my mother dug up a ginseng this morning when she was cutting bamboo in the mountains. Since we had nothing else at home, we took it to the town to sell.
I had just bought some food, but I didn't expect the Bai family to come and steal our things. They even turned the tables and accused me of stealing their money.
Please help us, the Bai family doesn't want us to live!"
Song Yunran started crying as she spoke. She looked so pitiful, like a completely different person from when she was fighting and getting an injection just now.
"I can testify that Yuling came to my house early this morning to borrow an axe. My mother-in-law and son were also there."
Song Chunhua was busy in the fields. When she heard others say that the Bai family was causing trouble for the Song family again, she immediately picked up her hoe and rushed to the end of the village, fearing that she would be bullied.
"Doctor Xu in the village town can also testify that I sold ginseng to him. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
Song Yunxi immediately joined in and provided information that was beneficial to her.
After hearing this, Song Yunran couldn't help but praise him for being smart.
"Cai Lai, did you hear me? The Song family didn't steal your money. Take care of your wife and don't do nothing all day long and do shameful things."
"Village Chief, this is a misunderstanding. It won't happen again next time. Let's take her back now."
Old Man Bai didn't intervene at all, he just watched from the side, but the village chief still talked about him in public, which made him a little unhappy.
After all, he wasn't the one who started the trouble, and I didn't do anything, so why are you blaming him?
Although he felt uncomfortable, he didn't dare to say it. He could only drag Bai Baozhu, who was suffering from bone pain, and a few others back home in shame.
The two brothers of the Bai family, who had been hiding in the crowd like invisible men, found that the situation was becoming more and more wrong, so they sneaked away.
"Okay, everyone, go back and do what you need to do!"
The village chief looked at the group of villagers who were watching the fun and didn't want to leave, so he immediately asked them to go back to work to avoid any trivial matters arising later.
When only the Song family and the village chief were left, Song Yunran touched his nose embarrassedly, and went up to the unhappy village chief and said in a flattering manner:
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I didn't expect the Bai family to be so shameless and only knew how to cause trouble for us. I will be more careful in the future. Please don't be too angry!"
Song Yunran apologized to the village chief and invited people into the house.
"Tell me! What else is there?"
The village chief looked as if he had known that you, a smart guy, had other things to say.
"Hehe...Uncle, you are so smart, you are worthy of being the village chief! Well, I have something to trouble you with.
I want to buy land and build a house, but the house is too small now, and it will be winter in a few months, so it is neither warm nor safe. "
"It's time to buy land and build a house. Where do you want to buy it and how much do you want?"
The village chief took a look at the small, dilapidated house.
"It's right here. About two acres will do."
She planned to build a green brick and tile house in the shape of a Chinese character "日", with an inner courtyard in the middle where she could lie down and bask in the sun.
The backyard should be made bigger to make it easier to dry things, so that everyone can have their own room.
"So many? The land here is all wasteland. You can only build houses but not grow anything. You might as well buy some farmland. That would be better."
When the village chief heard that he had to buy two acres of wasteland that could not be used for cultivation, he couldn't help but frown.
“I am going to use it to build a house. I want to fence this place off and buy some farmland, but I will buy the land and build the house first.
Besides, with the Bai family here, I don’t feel safe holding the money, so we should buy land and build a house first.”
When the house is built, I can build a higher wall to reduce my exposure to those weird things, and I will feel happy instantly.
"Okay, you can just discuss it among yourselves. One mu of wasteland is two taels, and two mu is four taels."
Looking at Song Yunran with a determined face, he knew that he couldn't persuade her. After all, this child was very opinionated.
"Uncle Village Chief, please help me with the formalities!" As he said that, he took out five taels of silver and handed it to the village chief.
"You don't need so much. How can you be so bad at managing the household, kid?"
Looking at the five taels of silver, the village chief returned the extra tael to her.
"Uncle, please keep it. Don't you have to spend money to do business at the government office? Although I am not very old, I still understand.
Just take it, and any extra money will be considered as your tea money. Don't be polite to me, we will have to trouble you a lot in the future in this situation."
"You kid, you've learned all the ways of the world even though you're still young. Okay, uncle will accept it. If you have any difficulties, come to me."
After thinking about it, I decided to accept it. After all, going to the government office to do business does require some arrangements.
Otherwise, those people won’t be able to do it so efficiently, and it might take a day or half a month.
"Okay, thank you uncle."
Before even buying the land, Song Yunran was already impatiently thinking about how to build it.
It is necessary for each person to have his or her own room. They are not little babies, how can they sleep together?
However, I need to discuss with my mother and sisters how to build the house specifically, and ask them what their requirements are. I can then make changes based on their requirements.
After everyone had left, I started to pack up my newly bought things. By the time I had finished packing everything, it was already dark.
I was already very tired, and after being bullied by Old Lady Bai and her gang of weirdos, I lost all mood. I ate two meat buns each and then washed up and prepared to go back to my room to rest.
I was obviously tired after a whole day, but I was still thinking about building the house and I couldn't fall asleep.
I might as well sit up and talk to my mother.
"Mom, the village chief said that the weather in seven days will be good and suitable for building a house. Now the weather is getting colder. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we will be freezing."
When Song heard that the house would be built in seven days, she felt a little panicked.
However, after just a few days of divorce, I, a woman and my three daughters, no longer had to worry about food or have to live on the streets.
I can hardly believe that they are still building houses nowadays.
"Is Yunran really going to build a house in seven days? Isn't that a bit too hasty? Besides, we don't know how to do anything, so how can we build a house?"
"Look at this house, mother. It only has a wooden door that can be locked. We are both women, and if we meet someone who is not afraid of death, we will definitely be the ones who suffer.
It would be much safer if we built a wall outside after the house was built. We will go to the town to buy some tiles tomorrow and we can build it in seven days."
"That's true, but Mom doesn't know much about building a house, and do we have enough money?"
Song knew that what her daughter said was right, but she really didn't understand anything and was afraid that she would not be able to help at all when the time came.
Seeing the hesitant Song, Song Yunxi couldn't help but persuade her, "Mom, just listen to my younger sister! My younger sister is so smart and she was taught by the gods. We will definitely not be wrong if we listen to her."
