Chapter 678: The Proud Old Man
After seeing off the villagers of Shizi Village, Wan Laoer felt much more relieved.
"Fubao, if they say something bad about you again in the future, you should fight back and say that Dad is fine but you are not."
Wan Laoer felt that his daughter was too kind and would be bullied in the future, so he quickly indoctrinated her.
"Daddy, I won't be bullied, and you can't be bullied either."
Wan Laoer touched Fubao's little head with a smile, then carried Fubao back to the yard. In just a short while, half of the people from other villages had completed the signing.
"Daughter, how much do you think we can sign this year?"
"Except for the land in the hands of the landlords, which we cannot recover for the time being, we can recover 70% of the rest."
"So much? How much land is that?"
Wan Lao Er can no longer be calculated.
"There are a total of 150,000 acres of land in our town, 70% of which is 100,000 acres."
Fubao just opened his mouth and it came out.
Wan Laoer exclaimed, "Oh my God, 100,000 acres? Doesn't that mean our family has become a big landlord? When I was a child, my family was poor and we didn't have many acres of land. I thought that if I had money in the future, I would buy more land, but I didn't expect..."
Wan Laoer was filled with emotion.
"Dad, this border will belong to our family from now on. You will be in charge of this land, okay?"
Fubao smiled and hugged Wan Laoer's neck to coax him.
"Then I will rely on my daughter's help in the future."
When Wan Laoer was carrying Fubao back, some villagers had already started to return.
I guess everyone will be talking about the land renting issue on their kangs tonight. Not only will the Wan family be unable to sleep, but the people of the entire Jinwu Town will probably be unable to sleep either.
The landlord who lived next to Shizi Village was smoking welding fumes at home at this time, with the notice posted by Jia Yanbing in front of him.
"Master, what do you think the Wan family is going to do? What do they mean? They are taking all the land from the people. Are they going to go against us landlords?" The woman stood aside with a worried look on her face.
"Humph, a grasshopper in autumn can't jump for long. What can an outsider who made a fortune from mud legs have? He has no idea how high the sky is and how deep the earth is with a few dollars in his hand. Wait, if his family doesn't sell everything to pay back the money next year, I will call him grandpa."
"Master, we should be more cautious. We should be nicer to the long-term workers below us and it would be best to win over some short-term workers to prepare for a rainy day."
"That's just a woman's opinion. Just wait and see. When they can't get the money, they will definitely demolish their house."
The woman sighed and said nothing more.
The Wan family had returned to peace by now, and the sun had already set.
"Mr. Jia, how are you today?" Wan Laoer asked excitedly, rubbing his hands.
"Today, we have signed contracts with 137 companies, covering a total of more than 1,500 mu of land. We will send people to check out the general situation of these lands tomorrow to see which ones are connected so that we can start digging wells."
"What? Digging a well? Mr. Jia, you didn't mention this before? There is very little water at our border."
Wan Laoer was extremely surprised.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll find a place." Fubao pulled Wan Laoer's hand.
Wan Lao Er looked down at Fu Bao, this...
"Girl, I know you are capable, but for this matter of finding a well, shall we ask a professional to come and help?"
"Of course we have to invite professionals. They will only be responsible for digging wells, and Fubao will be responsible for finding the water source."
Wan Laoer looked at Jia Yanbing, then at Fubao. Did these two have a plan beforehand?
Fubao blinked his big eyes and signaled Wan Laoer. Wan Laoer then understood. He thought that the well in his yard was full every day. No matter how much water was used the day before, it would be full the next day. It seemed that this was also related to his daughter, right?
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Fubao's abilities now seem to be getting stronger and stronger. She can feel a wisp of spiritual energy flowing into her body every day, but she doesn't know why there is such a change. Now she sees more and more colors, and she has also figured out the energy corresponding to each color, and can judge whether things are good or bad.
Wan Laoer let go of his hands and ignored everything. Now everyone who came went directly to find Jia Yanbing. He concentrated on studying the new seeds.
Around October, an old man suddenly came to the Wan family.
The old man was wearing gray clothes, had silver hair, and his beard was braided into a small braid. A piece of rag was casually wrapped around his waist as a belt, and he also had a pipe on his waist. From the yellow color on his hands that would not fade, it could be seen that the old man was definitely an old smoker.
The old man looked to be in good spirits, with fair skin and rosy cheeks, and he didn't look like an old man.
He stood at the door of Wan Laoer's house, looked up, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed.
"Hey, old man? Who are you looking for?" Guihua just came out to call Wan Laoer's family to come for dinner, and saw the old man standing at the door.
The old man looked at Guihua and said, "Girl, this is the Wan family? Is there a Jia here?"
"Grandpa, are you looking for my second uncle and Mr. Jia?" Guihua was no longer surprised. Many people came to see Wan Laoer and Jia Yanbing every day. Now the land was being rented much faster than expected.
"Well, is Jia kid here? Ask him to come out and pick me up."
The old man stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant, as if he would not go in unless Jia Yanbing came out to greet him.
"Grandpa, please wait a moment. I will go and ask the gentleman to come."
"Hmph, you don't want to be a rich young master, but you want to be a teacher. You must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey." The old man was not polite at all.
Guihua secretly stuck out her tongue. This old man is so angry? Did Mr. Jia offend someone and they came to his house?
However, Guihua did not dare to delay and immediately turned around and ran back.
"Sir, there's someone outside looking for you. It's an old man."
Jia Yanbing was looking at his newly acquired map, which was a distribution map of all the land in Jinwu Town. The parts marked in red were all the lands that had signed contracts, and more than half of them had already been occupied.
The rest are either old stubborn people or landlords and gentry. So far, no landlord is willing to rent out his land.
Upon hearing this, Jia Yanbing immediately stood up.
"Osmanthus, is it really an old grandfather?"
"Yes, sir, he even specifically asked you to pick him up, otherwise he wouldn't come in..."
Before Guihua could finish her words, Jia Yanbing had already strode out.
Fubao keenly realized that this person must be no simple person, but her husband seemed to have not told her about it?
Fubao followed Jia Yanbing happily and ran out with his short legs.
Before I reached the gate, I heard an old man cursing.
"You little bastard, you tricked me into coming to this godforsaken place, are you here to make me starve? Open your eyes and look around, is there anyone here? You can't even hit a fart with a stick, how can you make money without people?"
Fubao tilted his head and watched the old man drooling, poking Jia Yanbing's heart with his pipe, with an expression of disappointment on his face.
"Old man, stop it. Don't touch my husband." Fubao shouted and ran towards the old man.
Fortunately, Jia Yanbing was quick-witted and grabbed Fubao by the back of the collar.
Fubao walked on his two short legs like a little turtle.
