Chapter 223, Guan (asking for recommendation votes and monthly votes)
"I'll listen to grandma." Mei Xue felt that it would not be a problem to exchange it for land, but how much land did his family have?
"But even if his family has ten acres of land, it still wouldn't be enough, right?" Mei Xue knew the market price.
He Anze told her when he left, for fear that she would be deceived by the village chief.
"It's okay, let's calculate it first. If it's not enough, ask him to write an IOU. Anyway, we can't lend money out so easily." If possible, she really didn't want to ask for a price.
But if I don’t lend it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to live in peace in the future.
Borrowing too little is a mistake, and not lending is also a mistake. It is better to just ask for more.
After returning home, Grandma He asked about what happened again and finally gave the answer that there was no money to borrow, otherwise she would use their land in exchange.
After seeing that they were talking about serious matters, Li Shuangshuang left sensibly.
After returning home, she did not gossip with her mother-in-law. She just said that Uncle Zhengbei had something to discuss with Third Grandma, so she came back first.
Without outsiders around, Grandma He also spoke to He Zhengbei from the bottom of her heart about the situation at home. Even though they were selling vegetables and wine, apart from the capital, they really couldn't earn much.
He also took out the money box where he kept his private savings. There was indeed some money in it, but only about two or three thousand yuan.
Seeing so much money, Aunt Yong smiled and said, "Aunt San, I know I have offended you a lot in the past. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Please save my Yongzi. He is only eighteen years old."
As he spoke, he knelt down.
Grandma He didn't go to help her. If she wanted to kneel, she could kneel.
"I want to help, but you have to know that there are too many relatives in the village. I can help one, but not everyone. Don't blame me for being cruel. No one helped me when my family was in trouble."
"If it weren't for Anze and the others, I wouldn't have planned to help you this time. So, kneeling to me is useless. I still say that if you want money, you can use your fields, land, and mountains to pay for it."
There was no way Grandma He would be tempted by her tricks.
Kneel, haha, she is the elder, she can bear it.
He Zhengbei recalled some things there, but it was unknown what he was thinking about. In the end, he agreed to use his own fields and mountains to look for it, and he would not sell the land because the land was not worth two cents.
After the inventory, we found out that He Zhengbei's family actually had nearly ten acres of rice fields, which of course had both good and bad aspects.
But the best thing is the three acres of land below Mei Xue's house, two paddy fields, which are the most fertile and flat.
Next to it is the canal leading to Group 4, so there is no shortage of water all year round.
These are also the two fields that Mei Xue values the most.
Five thousand yuan for ten acres of land was still too much, so he wanted to use the bamboo mountain behind their house as collateral, but Mei Xue did not agree.
According to grandma, their family's fields will have to be redeemed in the future, but Mei Xue doesn't want to sell the two pieces of land in front of the door.
"Uncle Zhengbei, we don't want the mountain anymore. You can use your fields as collateral to let us borrow the 5,000 yuan. But when you want to redeem them in the future, you can't redeem the two plots of land in front of my house. Is that okay with you?"
When Grandma He heard this, she became unhappy immediately and glared at Mei Xue, wanting to know how to refute her. Mei Xue shook her head at her.
In the end, Grandma He was defeated by Mei Xue. When she looked at He Zhengbei, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose.
After He Zhengbei sold the land, he thought he must earn money to redeem it, but when he heard that it could not be redeemed, he was stunned.
"Xiaoxue, what do you want so many fields for?" She couldn't farm too many fields.
The annual harvest from hiring people to grow crops is not enough to cover the labor costs.
"I want to use it to open a fish pond, so you can't redeem the two fields below. If you agree, I will use your fields to pay 5,000 yuan. If you don't agree, I will use your mountain to pay the rest."
Mei Xue is not a good person, she just wants to get what she wants.
After thinking for a while, He Zhengbei nodded and agreed, "Okay, I agree." He had to agree. Of course, he was grateful. No matter how useless or how much of a jerk An Yong was, he was still his own son. His mother could ignore him, but he had to take care of his own son.
Mei Xue was very happy after getting this answer. Grandma He knew that Xiao Xue wanted to open a fish pond, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so suddenly that she couldn't refuse it.
After counting the money, there were three thousand in whole bills and the rest were some loose change. Grandma He did this to leave herself a way out.
"Zhengbei, here is exactly 5,000 yuan. Auntie San doesn't have the ability to help you for free, but you should also know that no one will lend such a large sum of money. You know whether it is a favor or not."
It’s not that she wants him to remember this kindness, she just hopes that he can be a little grateful.
Looking at the one-cent and two-cent coins left in the money box, He Zhengbei, a grown man, hugged his third aunt's legs and started crying.
"Third Aunt, wuwu, my mother doesn't care about my family, she doesn't care..." In comparison, Third Aunt is more like his mother.
Even if they are brothers, they have to settle accounts clearly. He has to remember this kindness and this favor. Not only he has to remember it, but he has to make his family remember it too.
Aunt Yong is just as she said herself. Apart from that mouth, she can clearly tell the good from the bad.
"Aunt San, from now on you are my mother, my dear mother."
Seeing the couple crying with snot and tears all over her body, Grandma He couldn't help but push them both away, "Get out of here, don't try to throw your snot on me."
Are you touched?
Grandma He was not touched. She just wanted Anze and Xiaoxue to have more people to help them in the village so that they could have enough space to stand on their own feet.
Her family is the only rich one in the village. I think her fate will be the same as that of the landlords back then.
She had experienced this before and just didn't want it to happen to them.
"Why don't you bring the child back home quickly and stop hanging around outside. In a few years, he'll be looking for a wife. Who will be willing to marry him if he continues like this?" These words were spoken from the heart.
After seeing the two off, Mei Xue looked at her grandmother.
"Grandma, where is your remaining money? Where did you hide it?" Mei Xue asked, knowing how to ruin the atmosphere.
"Oh, it's none of your business. I will never give you any money again. I don't know how much you have given away to grandma." Grandma He walked into the house with a proud look on her face.
When Xiaoyu came back in the evening, he found that the atmosphere at home was not right, but he was very well behaved, so it must not be because of him.
"Mom, what happened to grandma?" When he came back, he saw his wife with a sullen face and he was scared.
Mei Xue touched Xiao Yu's dirty face and said, "Don't be naughty. Your wife lost a fortune and is very upset."
Afterwards, grandma regretted her decision. She didn't want the fish pond anyway, so why did she agree to it at that time?
When grandma realized what was happening, she was furious, but she couldn't vent it on her beloved Xiaoxue, so she held her anger.
Xiaoyu was very obedient. He went straight into the house to do his homework and accompany his younger brothers.
