Chapter 361: Leave them alone, what's wrong?
thump!
When Xu Wuyan found Lin Mo, she was sitting by the river bank, throwing stones into the dark river.
"What are you thinking about here?"
Xu Wuyan sat down next to her, put his arms around her shoulders, and with a little force, let her rest her head on his shoulders.
How nice it is to be together!
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment and chuckled.
This man!
She leaned her head on his shoulder obediently, "I have a lot of thoughts. What do you want to know?"
"Then it's my fault. I made Madam so worried." Xu Wuyan smiled.
Then he sighed, "Madam, I told you, I'll take care of everything, you don't need to think so much, but you ignored my words again."
Lin Mo didn't say anything, but changed into a comfortable position and leaned against him.
"Qi Zhengfei just asked me how far we want to go! I can't help but overthink it now that I'm feeling sentimental."
"How did you answer him?" Xu Wuyan grabbed her left hand with his right hand and gently played with her fingers.
Qi Zhengfei is a sharp person and a talented person who can be cultivated.
If he is loyal to his wife, I don't mind giving him a chance.
Lin Mo shook her head. "I didn't answer his question, but he's not stupid. He should have noticed our intention."
"Smart and sharp." Xu Wuyan said.
Lin Mo agreed with this, he was smart and decisive in killing.
This is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Old Xu, do you think we are selfish sometimes?" Lin Jiuyi turned his head and looked at him:
"We dragged so many innocent people into this and made them bleed and die for our ambitions."
"Have you ever thought that if they hadn't worked for us, their fate might have been even worse?" Xu Wuyan shook his head at her, then let go of her and stood up, staring quietly at the rushing river ahead:
"In this world, human life is worthless, and everyone lives cautiously.
In order to support their wives, children and elders, even if they have to abandon their dignity and sell themselves out, it is nothing to them. Have you ever seen someone risk their life for a tael of silver, Madam?
Having said that, Xu Wuyan turned around and looked at Lin Mo seriously:
“Madam, you feel guilty for using them and seeing them get hurt.
They work for us, and while we can't guarantee their lives, I can guarantee that if anything happens to them, their families will be taken care of. That's the promise I can make to them."
“Madam, do you believe that if you ask them, they will regret coming here?
Their answer is definitely no regrets, because they can survive here and live well.
Because any gain does not come out of thin air, it requires a price to be paid.
If something happens to us, who do you think can give them this guarantee?
So, ma'am, you are worrying for nothing tonight."
Lin Mo stared at Xu Wuyan blankly.
After a while, she stood up, hands on her hips:
"You actually said I was worrying too much?
"Old Xu, you're itching for trouble, aren't you?"
She was worrying too much, but she couldn't admit it!
Seeing those people who were injured because of her, she felt that she was responsible for so many people's lives, and she just thought too much for a moment.
Who doesn’t pay a price to survive?
If they follow me, at least they can have enough to eat, be together as a family, and don't have to sell their children.
If they had remained where they were, many of them would not have survived last winter.
Only if they live on their own can they live a better life.
Qi Zhengfei asked himself this question after thinking about this.
Because they all want to live well and live better!
Lin Mo figured this out and a smile appeared on her face.
"No!" Xu Wuyan begged for mercy, then chuckled:
"Ma'am, have you thought it through?"
"Hmm!" Lin Mo picked up a small stone and threw it fiercely into the river:
"Next, I'm afraid I'll be busy."
To build this place into their ideal home is a huge undertaking.
While worrying about the White Tiger Hall causing trouble, they also have to worry about sneak attacks from the refugees from Beiling.
However, there is no need to worry about the refugees in Beiling for the time being.
She asked the people living nearby and learned that refugees from Beiling would come to attack and steal food, but they usually came in the cold winter when there was no food.
The water plants are lush now, so they won't move.
So before that, they still have a lot to do!
Another food!
They also need to be self-sufficient.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
Lin Mo stood up and said, "Go back to sleep. I have to buy land tomorrow and have a lot of things to arrange."
After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly towards the tent.
Looking at Lin Mo leaving, Xu Wuyan felt depressed.
Madam, have you forgotten me?
But he shook his head, turned around and continued to look at the rushing river ahead.
"Safety!"
"Young Master!" Xu Ping'an walked out from the darkness.
“Have you checked the situation of this river?
Also, have you arranged for people to check the situation along both ends of the river?"
Xu Ping'an nodded, "The young lady has arranged for someone to investigate the situation.
We also found a map of this area and compared it in detail. We are very sure that if we continue to follow the river towards its source, we can reach Beiling.
The situation downstream is still unclear, and the person responsible for the downstream survey has not returned yet."
Xu Wuyan nodded, asked him to send the map to him tomorrow, and then turned back.
But when he got closer and saw clearly the tent his wife had last entered, Xu Wuyan's face immediately lengthened.
He is already married, but he still goes to sleep with his mother. The lady is becoming more and more outrageous.
no.
This house must be built as soon as possible.
A man must have a house!
Xu Wuyan looked at him with a sullen face and a depressed look before turning and leaving.
I don’t have a house and I can’t sleep with my wife in my arms. Who understands how depressing this is?
The next day.
As soon as the sun rose, Beijia Village immediately became lively.
The people who gather here to work and the people who live here make the entire Beijia Village full of vitality.
After Lin Mo had breakfast, she took Xu Ping'an to see the village chief Jia Jie.
Originally Xu Wuyan wanted to follow, but was left behind by Lin Mo.
He has to make decisions on all matters concerning the Rong family, the house, and the layout.
Now that he is back, it is natural for him to make the decisions on these matters.
Lin Mo soon arrived at the home of the village chief Jia Jie.
When she walked into the yard, Jia Jie was lying on a lounge chair drinking tea and fanning himself.
When he saw Lin Mo, he didn't stand up, just pretended not to see her, and even snorted coldly.
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows. Was he taking his anger out on himself?
Because his nephew Jia Dashan was beaten and had his hand broken?
Lin Mo is not the kind of person who would spoil him, and she doesn't absolutely have to have the land in Beijia Village.
After all, there is a lot of wasteland in the next village waiting for them to buy.
With this attitude, he really takes himself seriously.
Jia Jie originally wanted to leave them alone, but who knew they would just turn around and leave without saying anything. What was going on?
They came to me because they wanted something from me, so why are they picking on me?
Also, what's wrong with leaving them alone?
Who dared to be so cruel to Jia Dashan even though they knew he was their nephew?
Thinking of Jia Dashan lying at home screaming with a broken hand, Jia Jie was furious.
He stood up from the recliner and gritted his teeth:
"Come here and tell me what you have to say."
Humph, now you're asking for trouble. Just wait and see how I make things difficult for you.
Thinking of the villagers who came to him these days and asked him to intercede for them, Jia Jie's eyes showed a hint of calculation. Perhaps he could also take the opportunity to ask for more benefits!
Lin Mo stopped and said, "I want to buy the wasteland in the village.
I inquired and found out that the land behind our house is arable land, but no one is cultivating it. I want to buy it. Please name a price.
Also, I want that piece of wasteland to the west."
Bought again?
Jia Jie frowned.
The Xu family has already bought a lot of land in the village, so why do they need to buy more?
But if she buys more, Beijia Village will become the Xu family's, which is not acceptable.
This is Beijia Village. All village affairs are decided by the people with the surname Jia.
He looked up and asked, "What are you going to do with all that wasteland?"
"Build houses and let people live in them." Lin Mo answered calmly.
The piece of wasteland was very large and not far from them, making it suitable for building a house for Qi Zhengfei and his friends.
This side of the river will be used for business in the future and is not suitable for living.
Jia Jie's eyes widened.
She thought of the people who came to seek refuge with her.
If these people all settle in Beijia Village, can Beijia Village still be called Beijia Village in the future?
I immediately shook my head and refused:
"I can't buy you that wasteland, but if you want the uncultivated field, I can sell it to you."
In Mocheng, reclaimed land can only be used for farming and cannot be used to build houses or live in.
So, even if she bought it, she could only let people continue to cultivate it.
Lin Mo glanced at him and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to buy it?"
Seeing Jia Jie nod, Lin Mo turned around and left without saying a word.
Seeing this, Jia Jie frowned:
"Nata, don't you want it anymore?
Those are mature fields, not newly cleared fields."
The newly reclaimed fields are very barren and have low crop yields, so most people won’t want them.
If it weren't for the serious troubles in Beiling and the bandits in recent years, there wouldn't be so much land left uncultivated.
"No!" Lin Mo didn't look back and walked away decisively.
This really pissed off Jia Jie, and he kicked the stool beside him fiercely, "Are you trying to tease me?"
His wife beside him frowned and asked, "Why are you so angry?
I also want to ask you, why don't you sell that piece of wasteland, which can't be used to grow crops? If you sell it, we can get a lot of benefits."
"What do you know!" Jia Jie glared at her unhappily.
“Women are long on hair but short on knowledge.
If I buy your wasteland, your grandchildren's grandchildren won't even have a piece of land to build a house on in the future.
Furthermore, if we sell it to them, Beijia Village will have many outsiders, which will threaten the status of our Jia family in the village."
Jia Jie's wife frowned immediately. Is it that serious?
But seeing how angry he was, she didn't go up to him to provoke him, but turned around to do her own thing.
Jia Jie stood there with a gloomy face.
No, it’s too passive. He needs to think of a way!
Thinking of this, he hurried out the door.
