Chapter 38: Becoming a Landlady



"There's more to life than just cultivation. Isn't it also a form of cultivation to see more different kinds of human nature?"

Shen Yizhi said casually.

However, Yichang thought it made sense. "You are right. I was too focused on cultivation before and neglected the people around me. As a result, I didn't know until I died that the woman who claimed to love me just wanted to get something from me."

Shen Yizhi didn't expect that he had such an understanding just by his casual remark, and couldn't help laughing.

While the two were communicating with their spiritual consciousness, voting had already begun in the yard.

"Raise your hands if you agree to sell one mu of land to Zhiniang for three taels of silver," said the village chief.

Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, Li Jingeng, Li Dongsheng and others raised their hands.

The village chief counted and found there were 23 people in total, and wrote five and a half correct characters on the paper.

"What about the 400-ounce one?"

"Five taels..."

When the price reached ten taels, Old Lady Wang and Zhang Cuihua, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly raised their hands.

However, after looking around, less than five people raised their hands.

Old Mrs. Wang was immediately unhappy. This was different from what she had expected.

After the results came out, Shen Yizi returned to the yard.

The village chief picked up the counting paper and said, "Let me read it to everyone. Twenty and three people agreed to pay three taels. Thirty and seven people agreed to pay four taels. Twelve people agreed to pay five taels. Three people agreed to pay six taels. One person agreed to pay seven taels. No one agreed to pay eight taels. No one agreed to pay nine taels. Ten taels... five people agreed. This is the result of everyone's vote. Therefore, the land will be sold to Zhiniang at four taels of silver per mu."

Old Mrs. Wang didn't expect that after all the fuss she had been making, this was the result. She was immediately dissatisfied and wanted to continue.

The village chief glanced at her fiercely, and she subconsciously shrank her neck and wilted.

But he gave Shen Yizi a fierce look.

I don’t know what kind of gift this little bitch gave to the village chief’s family that made the village chief help her like this.

Shen Yizhi looked back calmly. It seemed that the lesson from last time had not taught the old lady how to behave. Should she help her again? Her eyes were obviously not threatening at all, and she even had a smile on her face, but Old Lady Wang felt a chill on her neck when she looked at her, and she dared not glare at her again.

The village chief called two young men on the spot and said, "Jin Geng, Dong Sheng, go to Zhi Niang's home and measure the land."

Those who are curious also go to watch the fun.

Not long after, Li Jingeng and others came back and said to the village chief: "Second Grandpa, the total area is four mu and three fen."

The village chief nodded and said, "Okay, Zhiniang, tomorrow morning, you will go with me to the county government office to transfer the land. Okay, everyone, go and do what you need to do."

Zhang Cuihua said, "The price has been set, and the land has been measured, so why don't you pay?"

She is just waiting to share the money.

The village chief said angrily, "The property hasn't been transferred yet, why are you giving me money? It's all gone, it's all gone!"

Several families who had the same idea as Zhang Cuihua had to leave reluctantly.

The next morning, Shen Yizhi carried Qingbao, who was still asleep, to the village chief's house, and took their donkey cart to the county town.

Li Qingyun was driving the car.

When they arrived at the county town, Li Qingyun stood there watching the car while the village chief took Shen Yizi to the government office to handle the land transfer procedures.

Shen Yizhi remembered that Qingbao had not yet been registered, so he asked the village chief to issue a certificate and gave Qingbao a big name - Shen Moqing, and added it to her household registration.

The village chief asked hesitantly, "Zhi Niang, did Master Gu agree that Qing Bao should take your surname?"

"What can I do if he doesn't agree? Qingbao was raised by me with great effort. Did he, as a father, contribute anything? Uncle, don't worry. I told him about this and he agreed."

Shen Yizhi is now accustomed to using Gu Xueting as a shield.

So the village chief stopped trying to persuade him.

After everything was done, Shen Yizi received a land certificate issued by an ancient government office.

"This must be kept well, understand?" the village chief instructed.

"Well, I'll put it away now."

Shen Yizhi pretended to put the things into his arms, but in fact he put them into the space. There is no place safer than the space.

"Master, thank you so much for this time. Let's go. I'll treat you and Yunzi to a big meal at the restaurant."

The village chief waved his hand firmly: "Don't! You spent a lot of money buying the land this time, and you will have to build a house later. There are many places to spend money. Even if you have money, you have to spend it sparingly. After all, there will be many places to spend money in the future."

"Master, don't worry. Qingbao's father left me a sum of money when he passed away. It's enough for my mother and I to spend. Besides, he's only gone temporarily, it doesn't mean he's leaving Qingbao and me. I've reserved this meal for you, please come and do me a favor."

She had said so much, what else could the village chief say? He could only agree helplessly.

But I made up my mind that when I got to the restaurant, I would just order two of the cheapest dishes.

Unfortunately, after arriving at the restaurant, Shen Yizi took over the task of ordering food and ordered five or six dishes in one go.

The village chief kept saying, "Zhi Niang, that's enough, we can't finish all the food we ordered, isn't it a waste?"

Li Qingyun also echoed: "That's right, Sister Zhizhi."

"You can eat as much as you want. If you don't finish it, you can take it away, right?"

The dishes came, and Shen Yizhi handed chopsticks to the village chief and Li Qingyun, urging them to eat quickly.

The dishes in this restaurant are not as large and substantial as those in the countryside. The village chief and his companion said they couldn't finish them, but in the end they finished them all.

"Uncle, Yunzi, are you full? If not, I'll order a few more dishes." Shen Yi knew.

"That's enough, my stomach is almost full." The village chief touched his stomach with satisfaction.

"Yeah, I can hardly walk anymore." Li Qingyun agreed with a smile.

After leaving the restaurant, Shen Yizhi said to the village chief: "Uncle, I have something else to do, so I won't go back with you."

"What do you want to do? We have a car, let Yunzi take you there."

"No, I think it will take quite some time. You guys go back first."

"What are you afraid of? Yunzi is fine anyway, so we'll just wait for you here."

Shen Yizhi was really overwhelmed by the village chief's enthusiasm. He smiled helplessly, "Sir, it's really not necessary."

The village chief wanted to say something else, but Li Qingyun pulled him back, "Well... okay, you take Qingbao with you, so be careful."

"Okay, I know, don't worry."

On the way back, the village chief patted Li Qingyun and asked, "Why did you pull me up just now?"

"Master, can't you see that Sister Zhizhi doesn't want us to follow her? She has her own things to do, so let's not cause trouble for her."

"You're so smart, you little bastard!" The village chief scolded him with a smile.
