"What's the matter?" asked the village chief He Dafu.
"Oh, it's like this, my granddaughter..." He Shoushan seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject, "I want to ask you, how do we sell this mountain?"
"Mountain? Shoushan, what's wrong with you? Why do you want to buy the mountain? There is nothing else on this mountain except Changshan Dandan. What's the point of buying it?" He Dafu felt strange.
"Oh, that's right, village chief. We plan to plant some seedlings on the mountain and then try it out first. If it works, we will make a fortune together with everyone else, and you can follow us. But if it doesn't work, then we will lose money. It will only be my family that will suffer." Yiyami stood up to explain.
"Who is this?" He Dafu saw that the woman looked unfamiliar, yet familiar.
"Oh, this is my granddaughter, Huaizhu's child. She came to our village to play when she was little." He Shoushan introduced.
"Oh, Huaizhu's child, he has grown up so much!" The village chief found some facial features of He Huaizhu on Yiyami's face.
"I understand what you just said, but I'm not saying that guarding a mountain or buying a mountain is no joke. It requires a lot of money. Can your family afford it? Don't learn some speculative things. If you lose everything at the end of the day, it won't make up for it." He Dafu said earnestly.
He Shoushan was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but Yi Yami immediately replied with a smile, "Thank you, Village Chief. We remembered your reminder, but we still want to give it a try. Grandpa Village Chief, how much do you want to sell this mountain for?"
He Dafu felt more at ease when she called him grandpa. "Mountains, few people buy them. Our mountains don't have anything good, and they're not worth much. If you insist on buying one, then you can pay 400 taels per mountain. You pay the money and I'll hand over the contract. Then, we'll send it to the government for registration."
When Yi Yami heard this, she thought to herself that it was cheaper than she had imagined. She had 1,500 taels on her and originally thought that she could only buy a mountain, but now she could buy more.
"Grandpa Village Chief, let's buy three mountains." Yiyami made the number three seriously.
When He Dafu heard this, he spit out the water he was drinking the next second. Not to mention him, even He Shoushan widened his eyes.
"How much?" He Dafu suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Three seats." Yi Yami repeated seriously.
He Dafu pinched He Shoushan, and He Shoushan jumped up in pain. "He Dafu! Why are you pinching me?"
"I want to check if I am still asleep and dreaming..." He Dafu said with a smile.
"Oh, that's great. Come, my dear girl, come into the house. The village chief will write a contract for you right away." He Dafu smiled and welcomed Yi Yami and the other person in.
"Grandpa Village Chief, does the village own this mountain? In addition to your consent, do we also need the consent of other villagers?" Yi Yami thought of modern land ownership and asked He Dafu.
"The mountains and land are all owned by the state, but according to the principle of whoever is closer, they belong to them. Each of our villages has its own scope. However, in order to encourage economic development, the state agrees or acquiesces to the village chief's land transactions. The money from the sales is divided into 136. One point goes to the village chief, and three points are the common money of the village, which is used for village construction and so on. The remaining six points all go into the pocket of the state. So you pay me the money, and I have to take it to the government for registration and verification." He Dafu explained.
"Okay, I understand." Yi Yami smiled and took out 1,200 taels and put them on the table.
When He Dafu saw that she could come up with so many banknotes at once, he had a different feeling about her.
He Dafu quickly wrote the contract.
"Should the owner be written in your name or your grandfather's name?" He Dafu asked. After all, it was Yi Yami who paid the money.
"Write my grandfather's name." Yiyami said calmly.
"No, no!" Shocked He Shoushan quickly refused.
"Xiaomi, how can you put my name on the money you paid for?" He Shoushan refused.
"Grandpa, this mountain was bought to be used. Whether it's your name or mine doesn't make a big difference." Yi Yami didn't care much about the ownership of the mountain. In her heart, as long as they were truly kind to her, it would be worth it to give them a mountain of gold and silver. She had originally planned to buy the mountain and put it in her grandfather's name.
"No, no, no, that's still different." He Shoushan waved his hands repeatedly.
Seeing him like this, Yi Yami didn't insist and changed his approach. "Then write my name first. When you have money, give me the money for the mountain, and I will transfer the rights to you. How about that? Is this acceptable to you?"
When He Shoushan heard this, he thought it was a good idea, but he didn't know if he could make so much money. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."
Seeing that the two people had reached an agreement, He Dafu successfully wrote Yi Yami's name.
Each of them signed and sealed.
"Okay, the three connected mountains behind your grandfather's house all belong to you." He Dafu said happily.
"Thank you, village chief!" Yiyami was also happy.
"Stay for dinner, I'll ask my wife to make you something delicious." He Dafu persuaded him to stay.
"No, Grandpa Village Chief, we have something else to do, so we won't bother you anymore. By the way, remember that the people in the same village said that the three mountains are ours. We will build fences to enclose them later. It would be bad if we don't cause an argument then." Yi Yami politely declined He Dafu's request and reminded him.
He Dafu smiled and said, "That's natural."
The two men said goodbye and walked towards the village entrance.
Just then, the seedlings arrived. Yi Yami stepped forward and gave the order, "Come, follow my instructions and go in that direction. Then, pile the seedlings in the open space outside the yard."
"Okay, Miss Yi." The person who came was Butler Yang, who immediately directed the workers to work.
