Chapter 223 Leaving

Mrs. Zhou clapped her hands, "Look at my memory. I forgot when I was interrupted just now. This is because the weather has been good in recent years. The harvest is good in these years. Every family has made some money in the past two years. Your uncle asked several villages and found that there are not many people selling. Most of them are selling a few acres of land. There is no big family selling large areas."

Zhu Lan frowned, "It's hard to take care of them if they are not in groups."

Zhou Wang sighed, "That's right. If you want to buy a whole batch, you have to buy it from the country gentlemen, but the hope is not great."

Good times are rare, and everyone wants to farm to earn more money.

Zheng pinched her handkerchief, because the clan leader's wife didn't say anything, and lowered her head to drink the honey water.

After a while, the patriarch was about to go back, and Zhou Wang also said goodbye. The patriarch still had corn kernels to be shelled at home, so he had to go back to work.

Zhulan sent Zhou Wang back and saw that Zheng had no intention of leaving. "Sister-in-law, do you have anything to say to me?"

Zheng likes smart people and it's not tiring to talk to them. "Well, I heard that your family wants to buy land. It just so happens that my mother's family wants to sell land. They just have 10 more acres of land, a total of 60 acres, 30 acres of paddy fields and 30 acres of dry fields. The paddy fields are medium quality and the dry fields are top quality."

Zhulan calculated the silver and found it was nearly four hundred taels. "My sister-in-law's family is not going to buy land!"

Otherwise, the patriarch would not be unaware of it.

Zheng nodded. "What a coincidence! My sister-in-law came to me yesterday and asked me to find out who can take over all the sixty acres of land."

Zhulan thought that maybe Zhou Shuren had inquired about the Zheng family, and the Zheng family had noticed and wanted to leave, but seeing that Zheng Shi didn't look like that, she asked casually, "Sister-in-law's family sold the land, so they won't farm anymore?"

Zheng was happy in her heart, and nodded with a smile, "We won't farm anymore. We were separated by the snowstorm a few years ago. My uncle came to find us a few days ago. We are living well in the northwest now. Now I am going to take my father and my second uncle's family to the northwest for a family reunion."

Here, they are just farmers and dare not use their real names. Only by going to the Northwest can they live with dignity. It's a pity that her body cannot withstand the long journey and she can't go to the Northwest to have a look.

Zhulan saw that Zheng didn't say anything specific, but she could guess something. Zheng's uncle should be doing well in the northwest, and might even be a military general. The new dynasty has only been established for twelve years, and the border has always been in chaos. If he dares to take someone over now, his status must be quite high.

Zhulan smiled and said, "I'll ask the boss and write back to my sister-in-law this afternoon."

Zheng thought for a moment and said, "The house at home also needs to be sold. Besides, it is right next to the land. The whole land and the house can be considered a small village."

Ever since she knew that Zhou Shuren's family was moving to Pingzhou, she knew that Zhou Shuren was a generous person and had great confidence in Zhongju!

Zhulan's eyes lit up. Although she couldn't buy a small farm in Pingzhou, it would be the same if she bought one in her hometown. However, she didn't show it on her face and smiled and said, "I'll tell the boss."

Zheng had been here for a while, and stood up, "Then I'll go back first."

"I'm sending my sister-in-law off."

"No, I come here so often, why would I need to give you anything? Please stay!"

Zhou Shuren waited until Zheng left before returning to the room. "What did Zheng say?"

Zhulan told me about the land that Zheng's family had sold, "Do you think you should buy it?"

"Don't you have an idea of ​​what's going on?"

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "It would be a pity to miss such a rare opportunity. I didn't expect that the Zheng family would leave just after we found out the truth."

Zhou Shuren became more interested in Zheng's. "You went back to Zheng's this afternoon. Our family bought some land. It's a good opportunity for me to go meet the Zheng family."

"Well, it looks like the gold jewelry given by the male lead needs to be sold, otherwise there won't be enough money to buy the land."

Zhou Shuren: "Yes."

He had been spending quite a lot recently, especially on his trip to Pingzhou, which cost him eighty taels of silver, including the jade bracelet he bought. There wasn't much cash left at home.

In the afternoon, Zhulan went back to Zheng's, and Zhou Shuren took Zhou Laoer to sell gold jewellery. This time, they not only sold the gold jewellery given by Yao Zheyu, but also sold the old-style gold jewellery that they had stored before.

After receiving Zhulan's reply, Zheng asked her second son to go to Li's Village to reply. Zhulan stayed there for a while before returning home. Not long after, Zheng's second son replied, saying that he could go to see the land the next day.

After Zhou Shuren came back, Zhulan said, "We can check the land tomorrow. It looks like the Zheng family is in a hurry to leave."

Zhou Shuren signaled the second child to put down the box, "Well, I'll go to Zheng's house tomorrow."

Zhulan looked at the box and asked, "How much silver did you exchange for? How much silver did you sell?"

It costs a lot of money to buy the land and the house together. The Zheng family’s house is very big and newly built, so the house is worth a lot of money!
