Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

When he got home from school in the evening, Zheng Qingming repeated what the village chief had said to his family.

After listening to him, Zheng Dashan said, "Then let's buy 20 acres of mountain land first, and then buy more when we make money in the future."

Twenty acres of mountain land, that's twenty taels of silver.

Add to that the fourteen taels for buying good farmland, and most of the sixty taels were gone in an instant.

Zhou Chunfeng sighed in her heart that the money was really not worth spending. She had to build another house in a few days, and there would not be much left of the sixty taels.

Zheng Xiaoman thought it was a big deal. The purpose of earning money is to spend it. It won’t make money if you just leave it there. You can earn more if you spend it.

The family agreed on how much land to buy. The next day, Zheng Qingming asked for leave from school and went to the village chief's house with the money.

Wang Dehai was shocked for a long time when he saw him take out more than thirty taels of silver in one go.

He thought their family was running a small business, but he didn't expect that selling food could make so much money?

You have to know that just a few months ago, Zheng Laoer's family couldn't even come up with one or two taels of silver.

Wang Dehai was really curious, but it was not easy for him to ask directly about other people's profitable business, so he swallowed the words back.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll pack up and we'll go to the county government office."

You have to go to the county to apply for a land deed, it cannot be done in the town.

It is quite far from here to the county government office, and it takes two hours to walk there.

Zheng Qingming went to find a ox cart in the village, gave the driver five cents, and asked him to take the two men to the county town.

Of course it would be better if he didn’t have to walk, so Wang Dehai happily sat on the ox cart.

When we arrived at the county government office, we first got the title deed for the two acres of fertile land. As for the mountain land, we had to wait until the people from the county government office had measured it before we could get the title deed.

As it happened, the county government office was not busy that day, so it sent two bailiffs to follow them back to measure the land.

Zheng Qingming and his sister have learned to be more tactful recently. Before the two yamen runners measured the land, he secretly gave each of them a hundred coins.

The two bailiffs' attitudes improved a lot, and they took the money with a smile.

After that, the land measurement went very smoothly, and they even measured out half an acre of land for him.

Zheng Qingming spent money to hire an ox cart and sent the two yamen runners back to the county town.

Wang Dehai saw that he was so clear in his work, so he patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Qingming is fine, it seems that the book was not read in vain."

Zheng Qingming smiled shyly and said nothing. He thought to himself, this was not something he learned from studying, but something he learned from his sister who kept whispering in his ear that money makes the world go round.

The next day, Wang Dehai went to the county government again and got the title deed to the mountain land back from them.

Originally, he wanted to hand it over directly to Qingming, but after changing his mind, he took the deed and walked towards the Zheng family.

When he came over, Zheng Xiaoman and a few others had just returned. The family was sitting in the yard cleaning the pig heads and offal they had bought today.

Today, Mrs. Zheng also collected several pig heads and offal at home. She looked at her granddaughter and asked, "Xiaoman, do we have to make all of these?"

Zheng Xiaoman shook his head. "Granny, we don't need so much. We can freeze the extra ones in the cellar. If we can't get the pig offal someday, we can use these."

"Okay, then let's not wash these sets of milk for now. This way they won't spoil easily. We can wash them when we need them later."

As they were talking, the village chief walked to the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey, why are you here, village chief? Come in and sit down." Old man Zheng was the first to see him and quickly opened the door to welcome him in.

When Wang Dehai came in, what he saw was a pile of pig offal.

When Zheng Dashan saw the village chief coming in, he put down the pig head in his hand and walked over with his crutches, "Village chief, what are you doing here?"

Wang Dehai took out the land deed from his arms and said, "This is the land deed for your family to buy the mountain land. I brought it to you."

Zhou Chunfeng poured a glass of water and placed it next to the village chief. "Just ask Qingming to bring it back. It's troublesome for you to make another trip."

Wang Dehai smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, I don't have anything to do anyway. Your family has moved here for so long, and I haven't come to see you yet."

As he said this, he looked at Old Lady Zheng and asked curiously, "Aunt, what are you busy with?"

Old Mrs. Zheng raised her head and smiled, saying, "Isn't this just a small business at home? We have to pack up everything we need today, otherwise it will be too late tomorrow."

Wang Dehai pointed at the pig offal in the basin and said, "Auntie, is this the pig offal you're selling?"

Old Mrs. Zheng nodded. "Yes, we make some pig offal every day and sell it in the city to earn hard-earned money."

She knew clearly in her mind that the village chief just thought that their family had made money and wanted to come and take a look.

This doesn't mean that the village chief has any bad intentions, he may just be curious.

But we still have to be on guard against others, and what should be concealed should still be concealed.

Wang Dehai was a little skeptical. "This pig offal smells so bad, is there really anyone who would eat it?"

Old Man Zheng took over the conversation, "Haha, we don't sell it raw, so it won't smell that bad once it's cooked. The village chief is here, so he can stay at home for dinner tonight and taste our cooking skills."

Wang Dehai originally wanted to refuse, but he was really curious about how delicious the pig offal would be, so he nodded and agreed.

Old Man Zheng called his eldest granddaughter over and said, "Go to the school later and ask your brother to invite the teacher to have a meal. The village chief is also having dinner at our house today, so we won't be neglecting him."

"Grandpa, I understand. I'll go to the village now. My brothers will soon finish school."

"Well, let's go."

Zheng Xiaoman washed his hands and walked towards the village.

When she arrived, the school was not over yet, so she sat at the door and listened to the teacher's lecture inside.

Mr. Fang’s lectures were not rigid but rather very interesting. He could always find many stories and tell them to his students using quotations from classics.

Zheng Xiaoman was so fascinated by what she was listening to outside the door that she thought it would be great if she could go to class as well.

Unfortunately, she is a girl, and there is no such thing as girls going to school in the village.

It's already very good that she can learn to write from her brother.

When Zheng Qingming came out from get out of class, he saw his sister sitting at the door.

"Xiao Man, why are you here?"

Zheng Lixia saw his sister and rushed over happily, "Sister, are you here to pick me up from school?"

Zheng Xiaoman touched his head and said, "Well, I'll pick you up from school."

She looked at Zheng Qingming again and said, "Brother, the village chief is having dinner at our house tonight. My grandfather asked me to come over and tell you to invite Mr. Fang as well."

Zheng Qingming nodded, "Okay, I'll go talk to the teacher right away."

Seeing Zheng Qingming return to the classroom, Lixia looked at his sister in confusion, "Sister, why did the village chief come to our house?"

"The village chief brought the land deed to our house, so I asked him to stay at home for dinner."

Lixia nodded, "Hey, when I have a day off, let's go to the back mountain."

"Okay, when you have a day off, I'll take you to the mountains."
