Chapter 83 Only Huo Bing hits the point

Mr. Jiang stayed for this matter, but he was not only thinking about his own family, he was thinking about the entire village.

It was impossible to sell the land. They were different from Shen Qing. Shen Qing had been planning from the beginning and working hard to make money. Even if she lost the land, she could still make a living, and her life would not be bad. Therefore, even if her family had any objection to her selling the land, it would not be much.

But no other family in their family or in the entire Qili Village has such conditions.

Now he just wants to minimize the damage caused by the flood without hurting others, and the prerequisite for all this is to protect himself!

He looked at the two younger generations and said, "Farming is not only physically demanding, but also wastes seeds. It's easy for me to solve this problem, but the difficulty lies in how to get your third uncle, fifth uncle, and the other families in the village to stop farming without causing trouble."

Not to mention, after the flood, only their family did not suffer any losses, while their brothers and fellow villagers suffered heavy losses;

But once they tell the truth, people's hearts are unpredictable, and they may be the ones to suffer a tragic end!

You can be kind, but you cannot be too kind, and you must not be too kind to disregard the safety of yourself and your family.

Shen Qing understood what Jiang Yang meant. After thinking for a moment, she suggested, "How about we just say it's a dream? The three of us all dreamed. We didn't dream about the flood bursting the dam, but just that it was a heavy rainstorm that soaked the roots of the corn seedlings. Whether they believe it or not is up to them."

Jiang Ying immediately reacted and said happily, "I think it's great! It's not that the flood has nothing to do with the government, it's just that even if the news of the heavy rain gets out, it's not a big deal. It can't be considered a rumor to confuse the public.

Dad and I should be honest and try to persuade him as much as possible. If he listens, that's great. If he doesn't, that's fine too. At least we won't feel guilty later."

The main reason is that Dad won’t feel guilty. After all, he is the head of the village and he has different feelings towards the village and the people in the village.

Especially since my father is old, the older generation who are still alive in the village are his childhood playmates, and the rest are the ones he watched grow up. Out of selfishness and emotion, he must hope that all the old people are still there.

Captain Sun is indeed very concerned about purchasing land.

The next morning, he came alone and quietly.

This opportunity was rare. After all, including the three taels of silver he had given away, the price was a full seven and a half taels cheaper. If he hadn't been so influential, how could he have gotten such a total price? Of course he had to seize the opportunity!

This piece of land is close to the city and is easy to manage. It is also close to the water source and has no worries about irrigation. He can rent it out to farmers and collect rent every year. This is a family inheritance that can be passed down from generation to generation. If he has a piece of land belonging to his grandson's family to collect rent, his sons and grandsons will also be rich and powerful!

Shen Qing watched Captain Sun come alone to deliver the silver, and realized that the land deed would not reach the Liu family.

After a while, Jiang Xiangnan, who had followed quietly, quickly returned and ran over, reporting excitedly in a low voice: "There is a donkey cart waiting at the entrance of the village, and an old woman is standing next to it. Dabao said that she is the one who serves Madam Sun;

Captain Sun handed the land deed directly to the person in the carriage. Mom, do you think it was Mrs. Sun?

Strange, wasn't Captain Sun standing up for the Liu family because of the concubine? He must really like the Liu family girl. Why did he give the land deed to Madam Sun instead of the Liu family girl? "

Jiang Xiangdong was completely bewildered. His first reaction was, "Third brother, shouldn't it be given to the Liu family? The Liu family was so happy yesterday, and Captain Sun didn't even explicitly say he wanted it himself."

After all, Captain Sun said at the beginning that the three taels of silver as compensation were to be paid to the Liu family, so how did it become Captain Sun's?

The others looked at each other and remained silent.

Jiang Xiangnan had no choice but to explain: "Brother, how could I give more than 60 taels of silver to the Liu family!

Captain Sun doesn't really want to stand up for the Liu family. Liu Sheng keeps calling me brother-in-law. Do you think Captain Sun will agree?"

Jiang Xiangdong opened his mouth and finally understood.

Captain Sun looked down upon the Liu family.

After resolving Jiang Xiangdong's doubts, others began to discuss Jiang Xiangnan's doubts.

"A concubine is still a concubine. Even if she is pampered, she is not as trustworthy as the wife who has been with her through thick and thin."

"I heard from Dalang that the Liu family's daughter has no children. Men may not love their wives, but how many of them don't love their children? The twenty acres of land must not be left to the children!"

Jiang Xiangdong thought about how he agreed to abandon the two children in the beginning, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

"What wife and children? I think it's because Captain Sun doesn't have much money. All the money is in Madam Sun's hands! To buy such a large sum of money for the family property, of course he has to ask Madam Sun for it. How can it not be known?"

Shen Qing listened to the previous discussion without saying anything, and only nodded with a slight smile when he heard this sentence.

Xiaoshui sees things clearly.

Giving trust to the wife and thinking about the children are not the most important things. Because the concubine can love the family so much that she abandons the family and can also have children with other women. This man can even support a concubine, and you still expect him to have a conscience? Keeping control of the family money is the most important thing!

However, since Madam Sun took out the money, she must have known about this matter. Alas, this couple are really birds of a feather.

One is at the front, making full use of the little power in his hands, while the other is at the back, not caring about right or wrong and only caring about making money.

She looked at Jiang Yu, who looked depressed, and asked, "We have money now. Xiaoyu, tell me what you want. I'll go to the city and buy it for you!"

That's sixty-five silver coins! Of course I have to go on a shopping spree! Stock up! Fill all five cabinets to the brim, so I won't have to worry about the escape.

Jiang Yu raised his head, his eyes filled with worry. "Sister-in-law, you said you dreamed of a heavy rainstorm and a complete crop failure, so you decided to sell the land. Isn't that just an excuse to comfort me?"

She has brought so much trouble to the family, and now even the land has to be sold.

Shen Qing said very confidently: "Yes! Selling the land has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, if my dream is true, I have to thank you. Without the Liu family and Constable Sun, we can't sell it to others, right?"

Jiang Xiangbei advised: "Don't worry, my dear sister. My mother's dreams are very accurate. If she doesn't come true, the worst that can happen is that we lose a few taels of silver, which is not a big deal."

At least it doesn't matter to their family now.

Jiang Xiangnan said with a smile, "I don't want to farm anymore! It's hard and tiring. It would be better if we could make brushes."

Jiang Xiangdong and Jiang Xiangxi still wanted to farm, even though making brushes could earn money, the peace of mind it brought them was far from comparable to farming.

However, outsiders do not believe in my mother's dreams, but her family believes in them very much and of course they will listen to my mother's arrangements!

Huo Bing asked, "Mom, should we buy some more pork to make bacon, a few more jars for lard and lard, and make some fried rice, fried noodles, and oil tea...in preparation for the heavy rain?"

After all, when there is a lot of rain, the firewood will still carry moisture even if it is not wet by the rain. These foods are delicious when soaked in hot water, and they can fill your stomach by just eating them when there is no hot water.

Shen Qing: .....Only Huo Bing hit the point!

"Buy! Let's go into town and stock up!"
