When the villagers heard this, they were extremely excited. One elder asked, "Dashan, is what you said true?"
The old man nodded and said, "It's true. Children are the hope for the future of our Xujia Village. As long as they can read, their future will be easier."
"Uncle Dashan, thank you for always considering all of us. Please accept my greeting." Xu Daniu immediately wiped his eyes, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to the old man.
The other men in the village also began to kowtow.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, help everyone up quickly."
The village chief waved his hand and said, "Brother, you are worthy of the respect from these younger generations. You have given hope to the whole village!" After saying that, he glanced at Qibao intentionally or unintentionally. He just saw this girl whispering something in the old man's ear. It must be related to building a college. He knew that this girl was not simple.
After the villagers kowtowed, the old man said, "Okay, everyone, get up. Don't do this again in the future. As long as everyone cooperates with this renovation plan, I will be very happy."
"Uncle Dashan, don't worry. From now on, if you order me to go east, I will never go west."
"That's right, Uncle Dashan, you've been kind to everyone in the village, and we have no way to repay you. From now on, we will all listen to you."
"Yes, I'll do as you say!"
"Okay, since everyone believes in our family, I can't let you down. Starting from tomorrow, our plan will be completed step by step. Let us all work together to create this miracle!" said the old man.
"good!"
…
There were enthusiastic responses from the audience.
The old man said, "Okay, today's meeting is over. Everyone go back and rest early. There is still a lot to do tomorrow."
The village chief also said: "Since everything about the elder brother has been explained and everyone has agreed, let's adjourn the meeting!"
The villagers left in groups of three or four, discussing what happened tonight as they walked.
When the Xu family returned home, the old man said, "I just forgot to tell the village chief that although everyone sold the land to our family, there are still crops on the land. Boss, go tell the village chief tomorrow that these crops still belong to the villagers. We can dig the pond after they have harvested them."
"Okay, Dad." Boss Xu agreed.
…
Early the next morning, the village chief's house was very lively, and the villagers all came with their land deeds.
These lands were passed down from generations of ancestors, and they are reluctant to sell them now. However, for the sake of the village and their own children, they are willing to sell the land. If their children have a bright future, they will definitely not need to dig for food in the soil like them, so they feel relieved when they think about it.
The village chief registered and paid silver one by one, and his wife collected the land deeds on the side. Soon she had a large stack in her hands. There were eighty or ninety households in Xujia Village, and each family had an average of four or five acres of land. They paid a total of more than two thousand taels of silver.
After all the land deeds were collected, the village chief also instructed everyone to harvest the last crop of crops in the fields.
The villagers were grateful to the Xu family again. Logically, the land should have belonged to the Xu family by now, and the crops in the land should also belong to the Xu family. However, now not only did they give them more silver, but the crops in the land were also theirs. They all said that the Xu family was good and kind.
The village chief was on a rush to the yamen to transfer the ownership of the land. Uncle Xu had already told the village chief that the land would be transferred to Qibao's name. In fact, the village chief had guessed that the Xu family could be what it is today because of this girl, but he couldn't figure out how Qibao did it at such a young age. After thinking about it, he finally concluded that it was related to Qibao's mysterious master.
Uncle Xu returned home, drank a glass of ice water, and then said to the old man, "Dad, it's done. The village chief has gone to the town to transfer the ownership. I have already told him to put all the land in Qibao's name."
The old man nodded and said, "Will you blame me for not giving these lands to my brothers Wenwu, but giving them all to my granddaughter Qibao?"
Qibao was a little surprised. She had just learned that her grandfather had put the land in his name.
Uncle Xu took the lead and said, "This was originally earned by Qibao, so of course it belongs to Qibao. Now we are all enjoying the benefits behind Qibao!"
Uncle Xu also said, "That's right. Qibao, a girl, has such great abilities. Wenwu and the others should also make some achievements on their own."
The old man said, "Wenwu and the others have already achieved a higher starting point than the other children in the village. They don't have to worry about food and clothing right now, but if time goes on, I'm afraid they won't be motivated to make progress. So in the future, they will have to walk their own paths and earn what they want."
"Yes, Dad, we understand. Your idea is right. Your daughter-in-law agrees to do this." Zhang said.
Wang smiled and said, "In the future, our Qibao will be a small landowner. All the land in Xujia Village will belong to my good grandson."
Mrs. Li also smiled and said, "Yes, when Qibao gets married in the future, these plots of land alone will be enough to give her confidence, not to mention that Qibao also has various money-making skills."
Xu Laosan immediately said, "Qibao is still young, it's too early for her to get married! If my son-in-law marries my daughter for these reasons, I will skin him alive. I learned some moves from the kids."
Qibao was a bit amused and confused. How could she not know his father's abilities? He had only learned a few fake moves from his brothers, and they didn't do much harm. To prevent him from being blindly confident, Qibao said, "Dad, let me see how well you've learned. How about you practice with Kuiwu?"
Xu Lao San said, "Since my daughter said so, Kui Wu, let's go to the yard and compete. I haven't made a move yet."
