Chapter 6 What do you need so much for?
Song Chuman tried to hold back her laughter. If you don't know how to use idioms, don't embarrass yourself by bringing them out.
Song Hexiu's mouth twitched. "You mean you're asking for too much? I bought all of them with my own money. I want them all. Is that too much?"
"you!"
Song Hexiu sneered at the people from the second and third houses who were staring at him intently, "After all, some people want to kill my daughter. I can't expect them to leave food for them, right?"
Song Xiangqian said impatiently: "Okay, I'll give it all to you."
Song Hemao said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, what are we going to eat?"
Song Xiangqian yelled, "Let's buy more!"
Although Song Hemao was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.
Song Chuman said: "Father, we still have land at home. We bought it with the money you earned. There's no reason not to share it with us."
Most of the land by the sea is saline-alkaline land, which is not suitable for growing many crops, and the people here don’t know how to grow them.
Many of the lands are agricultural lands planned by the government, and the government does not allow the people to build houses on them, saying that they can be cultivated sooner or later after the court's research.
But decades have passed and the court has not come up with anything, and everyone probably thinks it is useless.
But she knows how to grow crops, and she can also improve saline-alkali land.
Song Hexiu hesitated: "But..."
That land is useless. Nothing you plant will grow.
Song Chuman: "Father, it's ours, so we should keep it."
Song Hexiu nodded and turned to look at his parents: "I know, we have five acres of land at home."
Song Xiangqian said impatiently: "I'll give you two acres, okay?"
It's useless anyway.
Every year, people go to the government to ask when the land can be planted, but the government officials are always impatient and only say in a few years.
But for decades, the government has always used the same rhetoric, probably just to appease them.
Song Hexiu: "The government sold those lands cheaply, and I bought them with my own money. Since they've been vacant for so many years and there's no way to farm them, I want them all."
Song Xiangqian frowned: "If you can't farm the land, what do you need so much for?"
Song Hexiu: "I bought it with my own money. I don't want the house or anything else. Of course I want all the land."
Song Xiangqian just wanted to quickly separate the troublesome family from the first house. "Okay, I agree."
Song Hemao and Song Hewei didn't say anything. Land that couldn't be used for farming or building houses was useless, and they didn't want it.
Song Chuman narrowed her eyes and smiled. You'll regret it later!
Li Cuicui snorted, "Although we've split up, you still have to pay the monthly tribute. In my opinion, it should be one tael of silver a month, one hundred catties of high-quality rice, three catties of salt, three catties of sugar, ten catties of fresh pork, and one piece of linen."
Song Chuman was speechless. In the past, these things would have been more than a month's income for her father.
Most people in the village eat inferior rice. She is six years old and has never eaten high-quality rice, but she actually eats a hundred kilograms of it.
Ten kilograms of meat? In the past, when Dad gave all the money to Li Cuicui, Li Cuicui was reluctant to buy ten kilograms of meat a month.
As for linen, Li Cuicui would only buy a few feet of cloth to buy new clothes during the Chinese New Year, but she actually asked for a whole piece of cloth right away.
Song Hexiu was also dissatisfied with the conditions proposed by Li Cuicui. "I don't have a job now, so I can't afford these. I can only watch you give me money in the future. If you don't agree, then I will have no choice but to keep the family together and continue to rely on you to support us."
Li Cuicui's face fell.
