In the 21st century, Chen Qingqing transmigrated to become cannon fodder in Nanshan Village of the Great Ning Dynasty. In a year of famine and a waning moon, her wicked grandmother, to support her ...
Chapter 74: Wish Come True
"I can't sell this land to her!"
"I will sell that piece of land to anyone in Nanshan Village who wants to buy it, except her!"
Old Mrs. Chen roared with her eyes wide open, as if she had suffered a great humiliation.
Wu Baoan explained his purpose as soon as he entered the house. He did not expect Old Lady Chen to react in this way. A hint of displeasure appeared on her face. "Auntie, Qing gave you money to buy the land. What does it mean that you don't want to sell it?"
Old Mrs. Chen put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Village Head, I'm not saying anything bad about you. I asked you to help sell the land, not to bring a little girl here to cause trouble. Can she afford to buy the land? You are kidding!"
Old Man Chen chimed in, "That's right, you must know what's going on at this little girl's house, right? How could she come up with so much money to buy land? She's making fun of us!"
Wu Baoan frowned slightly, his tone somewhat impatient. "Uncle, aunt, what are you talking about? Since Qing wants to buy the land, she must be sincere. I will definitely not give you a penny less."
"Alright, alright, stop talking." Old Lady Chen waved her hand dismissively, "I think this damn girl has no conscience. She must be holding a grudge against me for separating her family.
She knew we didn't have the money to return to Butcher Li, so she deliberately came to cause trouble. She wanted Butcher Li to cause trouble for our family, so she could vent her anger and make fun of us."
"That's right, I think she has a bad conscience." Old man Chen glanced at Chen Qingqing unhappily, "Stop bragging and making fun of us. If you want to buy land, take out the money first."
Old Mrs. Chen curled her lips and said, "That's right, stop talking nonsense and take out the money if you have the guts."
Chen Qingqing hadn't expected Old Mrs. Chen and his wife to react so strongly to her land purchase. She snorted disdainfully, "Uncle Village Head, give them the money."
"Okay." Wu Baoan handed the fifty taels of silver he had prepared long ago to Old Lady Chen. "Auntie, here are fifty taels of silver. Hurry and get the land deed out so I can help you with the resale paperwork."
"This, this, this, this is impossible?" Old Mrs. Chen was stunned and took a long time to recover. "Old man, I said this damn girl was up to no good, look, it's true."
"Oh, how shameless! I find this silver dirty. Take it away now." Old Man Chen said with a sullen face and gritted teeth, "No wonder you said you wouldn't marry Butcher Li. It turns out you've chosen to marry Mr. Fan, the wealthy man."
Old Mrs. Chen looked at the fifty taels of silver and rolled her eyes in regret. It was much better to be with the rich man Fan than with the butcher Li. How could she not realize that this damn girl had such ability? If she had known this would happen, she would never have split up the family and cut off the relationship.
Although she regretted it to death in her heart, she still pretended to be disgusted, "Bah, what a disgrace! Fortunately, I separated you from me, otherwise I would have been embarrassed to my grandma's house."
Seeing her mother-in-law slandering Chen Qingqing, Sun's face darkened and she couldn't help but scold, "Mother, you sold the land and Qing bought the land. Why do you care where she got the money? You just keep slandering her. Are you sick?"
Chen Zhanliang interrupted, "That's right, everyone in the village knows that Qing Yatu treated Mr. Fan, the wealthy man, and the reward he gave her. How come you say it's immoral?"
Old Lady Chen was quite angry and glared at the two of them. "Shut up! You still believe this nonsense? This little girl can't even read a single word, how can she treat illnesses? She said she was being rewarded, but that's just an excuse to deceive everyone."
Chen Zhanliang retorted angrily, "Mom, I watched Qing grow up, and she is definitely not that kind of child."
"Get out of the way, you stupid guy with your elbows sticking out. Do you think you have any business saying anything?" Old Mrs. Chen's eyes were as big as buns.
Wu Baoan couldn't stand it any longer and said indignantly, "Auntie, you're going too far. Qing Yatou earned her money by digging ginseng. It's pure and innocent. Don't put the blame on her."
"What? She dug up ginseng?" Old Mrs. Chen was shocked, her eyes full of disbelief. "She even knows about ginseng? Village head, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Wu Baoan said solemnly, "Why would I lie to you? It's absolutely true. Besides, everyone in Qingshui Town knows about Mr. Fan's itchy disease. It was indeed cured by Qing Yatou. If you don't believe me, go and ask around. Don't speak nonsense and slander someone's innocence."
"Even if it's true, I won't sell this land to her."
Seeing that Old Lady Chen was being unreasonable, Chen Qingqing's eyes turned cold and fierce. "Old lady, I came here today to buy land. As for what you said about seeing your family make a fool of themselves, you can also understand it this way. If you don't sell the land to me today, I will definitely not miss the good show tomorrow. As for whether Butcher Li will demolish your house or sue you in the government, I am actually looking forward to it!"
"You, shut up!" Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that she bit her back teeth to pieces.
Wu Baoan's expression was serious. "Auntie, since you don't want to sell this piece of land, then keep it! Qing girl, if you have the money, you can buy any land from them. As for what you asked me to do this morning, I'm sorry, I can't help you."
When Old Lady Chen heard this, she panicked. "Village head, what do you mean? Can't you just ignore this?"
"Auntie, you're making things difficult for me. You said this morning that you needed money urgently and had to sell the land today, but now I've brought the people here, and you're making a fool of me. You're making a fool of me. I can't interfere with your family's affairs. You can sell whoever you want. Qing girl, let's go."
Chen Qingqing nodded slightly.
Old Mrs. Chen was really scared. If Wu Baoan didn't care, how could she sell the land? She quickly blocked his way and said, "Don't worry!"
"You're getting out of the way. Why are you stopping me?"
"Leader, don't go. We have something to discuss."
"What else is there to discuss? Just tell me whether you want to sell it or not?" Wu Baoan lost his patience.
Old Mrs. Chen's face flushed red. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, she gritted her teeth and nodded with a painful expression, "Okay, I'll sell this land. Isn't it okay for me to sell it to her?"
Wu Baoan paused, snorting in his heart, "I don't believe I can't cure you."
"Since you're selling it, go get the title deed quickly. I'll write the resale paperwork now."
"Okay, I'll get it right away." Old Mrs. Chen rummaged through boxes and handed the deed to Wu Baoan. "Village head, it's all here. Take a look."
Wu Baoan took out the land transfer documents he had prepared in advance.
"Okay, as long as you put your fingerprints on the document, this land will have nothing to do with your family anymore."
"Okay, I know."
The land he had cultivated for his entire life was sold just like that. Old Man Chen's heart was bleeding. "Village head, although the land has been sold, the crops on it are what we planted this year. The autumn harvest is coming soon. Will the grain belong to our family?"
"Of course, Qing girl won't bother with you about this little bit of food."
"Okay, okay, that's good." Old man Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
The signing and sealing were completed quickly.
Wu Baoan handed the land deed to Chen Qingqing, "Qing girl, these four acres of fertile land belong to you. Work hard in the future. I believe your family's life will get better and better."
"Uncle Lizheng, thank you."
"Why are you being so polite, girl? If you have any questions, remember to tell me. I will do my best to help you."
"Okay, I'll take note." Chen Qingqing took the land deed and was delighted. It was great! With this piece of land, I could build a big house for my parents...
