Chapter 171 I Don’t Want to Be Burned to Death as a Monster
After breakfast, Xia Chengsheng brought Xia Xing'er to Chen Lizheng's house.
This time they were not given any trouble and were let in.
Chen Lizheng was not surprised at all when he saw the newcomer. He asked Daqiao to go and check the situation as soon as the sun rose today.
He thought that this family would turn into a pile of bones like the others before them, and he could go and take their things.
But I didn’t expect that this family was so lucky that nothing happened to them.
Xia Chengsheng bowed to Chen Lizheng and said, "Chen Lizheng, I came here today to ask you if the land around that small courtyard has any owner?"
When Chen Lizheng heard that they came for this matter, he felt relieved. As long as they were not here to cause trouble, it was fine.
"The land around here is unowned. You can see it, it's wasteland. If you want it, you need to cultivate it yourself!"
That yard was too evil. Anyone who knew the inside story would turn the land around it into wasteland.
Xia Chengsheng's eyes flickered with joy when he heard this, but it quickly faded. He pretended to be calm and asked, "Then if we reclaim the land, will it officially belong to us for use?"
Chen Lizheng glanced at Xia Xing'er and her father, and started to have some thoughts in his mind.
"If you reclaim wasteland, you don't have to pay taxes in the first year, but you have to pay taxes in the second year!"
In fact, the court’s policy was that any wasteland reclaimed by villagers themselves did not have to pay taxes in the first three years, and only started to pay in the fourth year.
In Shitou Village, it is Chen Lizheng who has the final say, and the taxes for the second and third years must be paid to him.
Xia Chengsheng and Xia Xing'er, father and daughter, looked at each other, and they understood what the headman was planning.
They really didn't expect that a village head could be so bold.
Finally, they suppressed their displeasure and continued, "I think you've misunderstood, Village Chief. We don't want the surrounding wasteland to grow crops, but to build houses!"
Chen Lizheng didn't expect that they actually wanted to build a house there. Aren't they afraid that they would have the life to build it but not the life to live in it?
"If you want to build a house, you'll have to buy this land. Even though it's wasteland, it's still public property for the villagers."
Xia Xing'er lowered her eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in them.
This piece of shit is just the same as that shitty county magistrate.
Just wait and see. Once he has sorted out everything here, I will definitely send him to see the King of Hell sooner rather than later.
Xia Chengsheng had expected this outcome and asked directly, "Chen Lizheng, how do you think you're going to sell us that wasteland? How much silver per acre?"
Chen Li was about to ask for a high price, but when he met Xia Chengsheng's cold gaze, he unconsciously shrank his neck.
"Ten taels of silver per mu!"
Xia Xing'er felt amused. For a wasteland that no one dared to take, he actually asked for ten taels of silver per mu. He was treating them as suckers.
But it doesn't matter. She can get the money back the same way he got it back. If he wants to cheat her out of her money, not only is there no way, he doesn't even have a window.
"Okay, then please ask Li Zheng Chen to send someone to measure it for us."
Chen Lizheng glanced at the two men suspiciously, then asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you want me to send someone to measure the area? How many acres are you planning to buy? Are you sure you're not trying to make fun of me?"
There are at least 30 mu of wasteland around that broken yard. If they were all bought, it would cost 300 taels of silver. Isn't he sure that these two people have so much silver?
Even if they had money, they still had to build a house and make a living, so how much silver did these two people have?
Why didn’t anything happen to their family last night?
If something happens to them, won’t all the money be his?
I feel sad just thinking about not being able to put this money into my own pocket!
Xia Xing'er didn't know what Chen Lizheng was thinking. If he knew, he would have beaten him up at least!
When did Xia Xing'er's money become his?
Soon they arrived at the courtyard. After measuring the surrounding land, they found that it was a full 35 acres. I don’t know if Chen Lizheng had a change of heart, but he actually didn’t charge any money for this shabby courtyard!
In order to avoid any accidents, Xia Xing'er asked Xia Yi to drive a carriage to take Xia Chengsheng and Chen Lizheng to the town to exchange the deeds.
Finally, Xia Chengsheng gave Chen Lizheng another five taels of silver, and Chen Lizheng's expression looked a little better.
Xia Chengsheng was not the one who had a lot of money to burn. He was thinking that they still had to live in this village, and it would be better not to offend Chen Lizheng before they had established themselves.
The Xia family sat together. They now had the land to build a house, but among so many people, no one knew how to build a house. This put them in a difficult situation!
Xia Xing'er does know a lot, but the only thing she doesn't know is building a house.
Xia Xing'er thought of Jiujiu again and began to call out Jiujiu in her heart.
"Jiujiu, we are now in the exile area. We have no place to live. Now we want to build a house, but no one knows how to do it?"
For a long time "..."
Its host is really great. When he needs it, he comes to find it. When he doesn’t need it anymore, he locks it up in a small dark room!
But it is really a system. Although the system is omnipotent, when the system trained them, it did not tell them how to build a house!
Now Xing'er finally has something that needs it. If it can't help her, will it be locked up in the dark room again?
After hesitating for a moment, it finally spoke honestly: "Xing'er, it's no use asking me, I don't know how to build a house!"
Xia Xinger: "..."
She shouldn't have asked this question!
Just as she was about to play Yin and Yang for a while, she heard Jiujiu say, "Xing'er, can't we just move to another place and bring it back?"
Jiujiu felt that he was really smart, as only he could come up with this idea!
Xia Xing'er really wanted to open Jiujiu's head to see how it came up with such a bad idea!
If she really moved a mansion back from somewhere else, the villagers here would burn her entire family as monsters!
"Jiujiu, have you been alone for too long and lost your mind?"
Jiujiu: "Xing'er, let me make it clear in advance that I am not a human, I am just a system!"
Xia Xing'er: She was really speechless. After a long time, she treated Jiujiu as a partner and forgot that it was not a human?
"Such a clever system, how did you come up with such a stupid idea? Do you want me to die quickly so you can find an obedient host?"
Jiujiu: Is it a bad idea?
"Xing'er, even though you're a bit stingy and petty, I don't have any intention of changing hosts. I'm really trying to find a solution for you!"
"Okay, then I misunderstood you, but your idea is not good. I don't want to be burned to death as a monster?"
Jiujiu: "Don't you understand your own abilities? Can fire burn you to death?"
