Chapter 820 Keep it for Fortune

Only then did Shao Liulang retract his cold and impatient look and slowly went back to his room.

Ma subconsciously let out a breath.

She didn't know since when, but her son's temper became worse and worse, and he became more and more prone to having a cold face. She didn't dare to provoke him or disobey him.

Fortunately, he is more diligent and hardworking than before.

Maybe, maybe it's because I work too hard and am too tired, so I'm in a bad mood.

She couldn't help but advise him to take a break if he was too tired and not work so hard, but he ignored her and instead told her not to talk too much and meddle in other people's business. She didn't dare to say anything more.

I just hope that he can pass the examination and become a scholar next year.

Within two days, people from the Shao family's main house came one after another and sold their land.

Only a fool would not calculate the cost of such a good thing and would be reluctant to sell it. After discussing it at home, of course everyone in the family agreed to sell it.

Hundreds of taels of silver are in hand, why not do something with it?

This incident caused a sensation not only in the entire village, but also in the surrounding villages. Those who had no chance to sell their land were extremely envious.

However, there are exceptions.

After discussing it, two families decided not to sell. Their lands totaled about 30 mu.

Because they felt that the eldest branch of the Shao family must have known some inside information in order to pay so much money for the land which was not worth the price at all.

It's just that their family is cunning and selfish and refuses to tell everyone.

So they are willing to take a gamble and keep these lands. They can make one or two hundred taels by selling the land today, but maybe they can make hundreds or thousands of taels in the future if they don't sell them?

Not only did they not sell it themselves, they also went to other families to try to persuade them not to sell it, and even tried to persuade them to go to the Shao family's main house to interrogate them, asking them to tell them what was so strange about the land and how much it was really worth.

But the others either did not hesitate or only hesitated slightly, and finally rejected them.

Their family was well-off and they didn't care about the 100 or 200 taels of silver, but other families did! 100 or 200 taels of silver was a huge sum of money!

As for saying that this place is strange and that you might be able to make a lot of money, so what? Shao Wulang is the top scholar in the imperial examination, the god of literature, he is not an ordinary person, he is blessed and has good fortune.

Even if you can get rich, it belongs to the right person.

I am unlucky and have a small destiny, so I dare not be greedy.

With this one or two hundred taels of silver, I am already very satisfied! The conditions at home can be greatly improved!

Haven’t you seen so many people in the village being envious?

Why don't you sell this land? Only a fool wouldn't sell it!

The two "fools" were very angry after hearing these words.

He grumbled in private, "Let them sell! They will regret it later if they are greedy for such a small profit!"

"That's right, there must be something fishy going on here. If we keep this land, we will definitely make a fortune!"

The two men made up their minds to keep the land and do whatever the Shao family did with the land.

They were unwilling to sell, and Qiao Xuan did not force them.

After the two-day deadline, she wouldn't buy it even if you wanted to sell it again.

She didn't have to buy the land, but she couldn't let the villagers think she was breaking her promise.

Qiao Xuan plans to buy another 520 acres in total, which, when combined with the previous ones, will total 600 acres.
