Chapter 65 Let’s buy some land!
She didn't understand what it meant to look at the fields.
The main point is just a random joke.
Sanbao was also happy, "Let's go, look at the fields, and buy some land!"
The family bought a piece of land, and they would have a long-term supply of food.
The fields produce food every year, so we no longer have to worry about going hungry.
Erbao, who was a bit calmer in nature, couldn't help but smile slightly.
The whole family is dressed nicely and warmly today, so they don't have to worry about catching a cold when they go out for a walk.
So I went to the dental clinic with Dabao.
The owner of the pawnshop saw that the whole family had arrived and they were neatly arranged except for the man who was the head of the family.
Then he asked quietly, "If your head of the family doesn't come to see it, can you make the decision after you see it?"
The implication is that it might have been a waste of time to read it!
Cai said proudly, "My eldest son is the head of the family, my youngest daughter can also be the head of the family, and my sons and daughters can all make the decisions."
The pawnbroker still didn't believe it, so Cai intentionally or unintentionally showed him the silver bag hidden in the corner of her clothes.
Only then did the pharmacy owner realize what was going on.
I came here sincerely to check out the fields, not to mess around.
Cai and her friends always took all their valuables with them when they went out. She was worried about leaving so much money in a thatched hut without even a lock.
Carry it with you, and take Yuanbao with you, and no one can take it away from you.
Very safe.
It was a large transaction involving twenty acres of land, and the brokerage shop owner personally drove the horse-drawn carriage to take Cai and his friends to see the land.
It is convenient to have a carriage instead of walking.
It didn't take long to arrive.
The little boy was quite excited at first and chattered a lot when riding in the carriage. But after a while, he felt sleepy and fell asleep amid the bumpy ride.
After getting off the carriage, Cai held her all the way.
This place was indeed not far from Tangjia Village, and the owner of the pawnshop first took them to find the store where the land was sold.
The people selling the land were an old couple, their surname was Li, Mr. and Mrs. Li.
These are the fields within the scope of Lijia Village.
After the two parties were introduced by the pawnbroker owner, they got to know each other.
The couple were dressed respectably, but their faces were filled with sorrow.
Show them their fields.
As we walked, Mr. Li introduced everything along the way.
"All our farmland is good, passed down from our ancestors. All 20 acres of land are almost together, and there is a river next to it. We don't have to worry about watering our crops. As long as the river doesn't dry up, the crops won't have to worry about water. The fields are also fertile. Other people's farmland doesn't yield as much food as ours. We really can't bear to sell it!"
Cai held the sleeping little girl in her arms and asked softly, "Why do you want to sell it?"
Mr. Li stopped talking.
Granny Li added, "We are too old to farm, and our son is not doing well. We have no choice but to sell the land and move to the city to live with our married daughter. We have two little grandchildren at home. We can sell the land and give it to them to learn a craft. When they grow up, they can become craftsmen and have a meal."
Cai said, "Is that so? That's good too."
It's just a little strange. Generally, they rely on their sons for living and support in their old age.
Very few seek refuge with married daughters.
He also brought his two grandsons with him to seek refuge!
That doesn't make sense.
However, there are so many strange things in the world that she couldn't get to the bottom of it.
It was winter and the fields were all barren.
There are no crops.
Dabao and his friends looked around curiously and took note of the road signs.
Sanbao just looked around to see how lively it was.
We soon arrived at our destination.
Seeing the fields at Old Man Li's home, they were just as he had described, very good fertile land. Moreover, the twenty acres were not far apart, and there was a river next to it. This river was larger than the Tangwang River in Tangjia Village. The Tangwang River was a tributary, and this was the mainstream.
Dabao asked, "If the river rises, will the fields be flooded?"
"No, the river bank is high. Even in the year with the heaviest flood, the fields were not flooded. Besides, the fields are higher than the river bank. We use water trucks to draw water every year. We don't need the water trucks anymore. We can give them to you..."
The more Cai looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Old Man Li added, "If you don't have the manpower, you can rent the land to tenants. You just need to harvest the grain. Many tenants know that our land produces a lot of grain, and they are willing to rent it to grow crops!"
The shopkeeper of the pawnbroker also confirmed, "Indeed, there is no bargain for this land. This is the reason why there are so many people selling land recently. In the past, this kind of good land would be worth at least 20 taels. You are making a fortune by buying the land now. Old man Li is really anxious to sell it. If you decide to buy it today, I can help you measure the land and go to the government to transfer the ownership and change the contract..."
Cai and Dabao both thought it was a good idea.
The two discussed it and decided to take it.
It's better than buying one dollar here and one dollar there.
Anyway, I have the money with me.
The pawnbroker's shop owner and Old Man Li were very happy and cooperated actively. They found someone to measure the size of the land. Old Man Li also took out the land deed and showed it to Cai and her friends to reassure them.
Measure the size of the field to see if it is at least twenty acres, etc.
Cai sat in the middle of the field holding the soundly sleeping little baby, waiting, while Dabao and his two younger brothers took care of the rest.
After measuring the size, it was almost the same as written on the land deed.
There are twenty mu in total, and sixteen taels of silver per mu, which makes three hundred and twenty taels of silver.
The pawnbroker prepared the sales agreement, and both parties signed and sealed it. Cai paid half of the money to Mr. Li.
Then, after both parties took the deed to the government to transfer the ownership and corrected the names of all the owners on the government deed, the remaining half would be given to Old Man Li.
Even if the transaction is completed.
The pawnbroker collected a few taels of silver from both parties as a handling fee.
Everything was ready, and the group was preparing to go to the government office.
Suddenly a group of people came!
They are all tall and strong men.
It looks like nothing good is going to happen.
Before I even got close, someone called out from afar, "Who is Mr. Li?"
Both Mr. Li and Mrs. Li had a look of fear on their faces and did not want to stand out.
Those people teased, "Old Man Li, I heard that you are selling your land? Your family's land has been mortgaged to our casino by your son. You no longer have the right to sell it. Who would dare to buy it?"
Cai's heart skipped a beat.
Dabao also looked solemn.
Look at Old Man Li.
Old Man Li explained nervously, "No, they are talking nonsense. They are from the town's casino. My son gambled a lot, so I kicked him out a long time ago. The land deeds are in my hands, and my name is on them. They have nothing to do with my unfilial son. I don't want him anymore, so let them kill him. You can buy the land..."
Just now, Cai and her family had already looked at the land deeds.
Dabao nodded and said, "Okay then."
The strong men over there came over laughing, "What's the point of that? Li Dajiang has already mortgaged this land to our casino. I have Li Dajiang's signature here, it's clearly written in black and white, the son's debt should be repaid by the father, it's only right! You are not allowed to sell this land! It's useless to sell it. We come here every day to guard it, to see who dares to take it, to see who dares to plant it..."
