Chapter 39: Who would complain about too much of such a good thing?
As soon as she finished speaking, Fang and Shao Yunduan, mother and son, looked at each other, both of them speechless.
Shao Yunduan glanced at her secretly, feeling somewhat helpless and at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I sighed in my heart. No wonder she doesn't understand. How can she, a rich lady, understand the affairs of farmers? She's still buying land. Listen to what kind of land she wants to buy.
Seeing her eyes shining, her interest and her anticipation, Shao Yunduan couldn't bear to disappoint her.
Mrs. Xu was a little anxious, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother's wife, what are you going to do with those wastelands? It's troublesome to clean them up, and at most you can only plant some beans and peanuts, and they won't grow well. Why waste money? It's better to buy a few acres of good farmland!"
Xu had her own thoughts. Qiao Xuan had the money to buy land, so of course she was envious and a little jealous, but she was also happy.
Even if Qiao Xuan bought all the land and put it all under her own name, since the family hasn't been divided yet, her family will naturally benefit from it!
Moreover, when the family is divided in the future, they have more land, so naturally they will get less from the public share, and they can still get the advantage.
Who could complain about having too much of a good thing like this?
Although Fang didn't think much of Xu, she nodded in agreement this time and advised with a smile: "Yes, Qiao, your sister-in-law is right. It's better to buy good farmland than to buy that useless dry land! Although the price is much different, the good farmland can produce food in the same year, which is incomparable to dry land!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "What mother and sister-in-law said is correct, but I still want to buy some land first, plant fruit trees and other things, raise some chickens, and then buy a few acres of paddy fields later. Mother, please agree to it!"
Mrs. Xu was unwilling to give up easily and continued to persuade him earnestly: "Fifth brother's wife, please don't blame me for being nosy. You don't understand the difference between fields. Just listen to mother! It's very difficult to cultivate the wasteland on the edge of the village. It really can't grow anything good. Not to mention the piece of land behind our yard. The soil is less than an inch thick and most of it is gravel! It's a waste of money to buy it!"
Fang also advised.
Shao Yunduan suddenly said, "Mother, sister-in-law, since Qiao wants to try, let her try. It doesn't matter what she grows."
Fang always listened to her son, and it made sense if she thought about it.
Mrs. Qiao is spending her own money, so she can spend it however she wants. You can make some suggestions, but it's not your place to say too much.
Even if you plant some fruit trees and grow some peanuts, it's better than nothing.
Fang nodded and smiled, "Since you have made up your mind, then let's do it! When you buy the land, put it in your own name and keep the deed carefully."
"But there is one thing. We haven't divided up the family yet. Half of the harvest from the land must be turned over to the public. You can sell the remaining half for money. Not only you, but everyone else in the family is like this too."
"I understand, mother!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and agreed readily.
She kept the title deed herself and made her own decision, which was considered quite enlightened. Before many families split up, everything was shared by the public.
But, do we have to hand over half of the harvest? We will discuss this issue later.
It's not that she was reluctant to part with it, but if she handed it over to the public, maybe the second or third wife would get a discount, which was not acceptable.
When Fang saw Qiao Xuan agreed, she smiled and nodded, quite satisfied.
The daughter-in-law is so sensible! Her son is so lucky to have married a good daughter-in-law!
Poor 11 is crying and begging for votes (╥╯^╰╥)
