Chapter 821: Feeling of Loss
The thirty acres of land owned by these two families could be bypassed. Without them, we would have to buy dozens of acres of wasteland that needed to be reclaimed.
The local security guard came quickly and took care of the matter.
Qiao Xuan quickly recruited workers in the village, a total of forty people, and started the work in a grand manner.
More than 300 acres of wasteland were covered with weeds, shrubs, and trees, and the ground needed to be cleared first. Among them, there were some large trees with good shapes, so Qiao Xuan did not have them cleared away and left them alone.
A total of twenty-seven big trees are left, sparsely scattered among the trees. It is a nice scenery and quite unique. When you are tired from work, you can hide under them in the shade and take a rest, which is quite nice.
All the land was connected, so it had to be re-divided. Some places needed to be filled up, and some needed to be dug up and leveled. Several paths had to be opened in a crisscross pattern, and ditches had to be laid to divert water.
The amount of work is actually not small.
Fortunately, it is late autumn and early winter now, and the crops in the fields of every household have been harvested, so there is no need to worry about anything when tidying up, just follow the terrain.
Those who sold their land quickly bought new land.
Although the newly purchased land needed to be cultivated and was much farther away from the village than before, everyone was very happy because they had money in their pockets and land again.
The whole family, young and old, goes out to reclaim the wasteland enthusiastically so that they can plant crops in the spring of next year. Nothing will be delayed!
The farming season was slack in previous years, but this year it is particularly busy.
The two families that did not sell their land saw that the eldest branch of the Shao family was actively reclaiming and cultivating the land, and that the families that had bought new land were also actively reclaiming and cultivating the land. For some reason, they felt a little empty in their hearts.
Subconsciously, they felt that their land was very important to the eldest branch of the Shao family, who "had some unknown plan in mind." The eldest branch of the Shao family would definitely not give up easily and would definitely come to their family and persuade them to sell the land.
But unexpectedly, the two days Qiao Xuan mentioned meant two days, and voluntary meant voluntary, and she didn't even ask them any more questions.
This left them stunned and also made them a little angry for no reason.
When Qiao Xuan hired people to reclaim the land, they were gossiping in the village, saying that the eldest branch of the Shao family had big ambitions, that there must be something fishy going on, and that they were waiting for the people who sold the land to regret and cry.
There were actually a few gossipers who agreed with the talk and gathered together to whisper behind the scenes.
Some curious people even went to learn it for Fang and Qiao Xuan to hear.
Fang sneered with disdain, but Qiao Xuan just smiled and said nothing.
Human hearts are really hard to predict. I just wanted to give back to my neighbors, but they imagined so many things.
However, most people are smart people. Didn’t they buy the land well?
Later, the two families who were eager to follow the eldest branch of the Shao family's example were dumbfounded when they saw Qiao Xuan having people plant roses, roses, pomegranates, osmanthus, lemons and other flowers, and a small number of people planted cassava!
Even after I found out that they were making lipsticks, I was still dumbfounded!
Because we don’t know how to make lipstick at all.
Later, they regretted it so much that their intestines turned green. They were too embarrassed to come forward themselves, so they asked the elderly and women in the family to go to the Shao family's main house and beg for the land to be sold to them.
Qiao Xuan politely declined.
She doesn't need so much land anymore.
