Chapter 60 Curiosity and Favor towards the Original Owner
Liang Lizheng spent the whole night last night thinking about how to ask Liang Mingxuan about the school, but he was completely stunned by the conversation between his uncle and his sister-in-law.
“.”
"Is this really going to work? Without the teacher's guidance, can you really pass the exam?"
Liang Mingxuan: "Don't worry, Li Zheng, I've been studying for so long, so a month or so won't make a difference. My brother and sister-in-law bought me a lot of books in the past, and I've read a lot since I learned to read. To be honest, there are many books in my house that Liu Tongsheng probably doesn't even have or has seen. I will definitely pass the exam."
What he meant was that his current knowledge might not even be comparable to that of Liu Tongsheng, and it was really not difficult to pass the examination to become a Tongsheng.
Liang Lizheng thought so too. More than a month is not a long time. He thought he had probably learned everything he needed to learn, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he reviewed it at home.
"Since you said so, it's fine for you to study at home. If you need anything from the village head, please don't hesitate to ask."
He glanced at Xu Zhichun and smiled with some emotion, "Come to think of it, it was your sister-in-law who said you were smart and asked your brother to send you to school. I didn't expect you to be so smart. You learned words quickly and memorized things well. If you pass the exam, it will be a different story. You must be filial to your sister-in-law in the future."
Liang Mingxuan nodded: "I will."
Xu Zhichun's mind buzzed, and some dormant memories seemed to be stirred up. She seemed to remember that it was really like this.
How could Liang Minglang be so careless and think of this? The original owner noticed that this child was not ordinary and suggested it to Liang Minglang, and Liang Minglang agreed without hesitation. What did Liang Minglang look like? She couldn't remember
But she seemed to recall that the original owner had fled in a panic, leaving a sea of fire behind her. Were those books Mingxuan had mentioned? She had about ten books in her bag at the time, and later gave them all to Mingxuan.
"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law?"
"Ah," Xu Zhichun came back to his senses and smiled, "By the way, Uncle Lizheng, my family wants to buy some land."
That's easy.
But Liang Lizheng was still curious and couldn't help asking, "Are you planning to plant more sweet potatoes?"
"And konjac. It's not so convenient to go to the mountains to dig it all the time. It's better to plant more in our own fields."
Liang Lizheng nodded: "You think long-term, it's good this way. The villagers would be shocked if they knew that your family grows that thing, haha."
Xu Zhichun also laughed, "Everyone will know that it is a good thing in the future."
This time, Xu Zhichun directly bought one hundred acres.
There are fifty mu of barren mountain land behind the house and fifty mu of shady concave land in the valley where there are large areas of wild konjac.
Liang Lizheng was a little surprised. "So many! If no one asks, forget it. But if someone does, just say that the land for growing konjac was bought by three families together, and the wasteland behind also belongs to Qi Tian's family. Tell them later, and don't let it slip."
"good."
"Are you still hiring those people from last time to open up the wasteland?"
"Well, they did a good job. That's them."
"Also remind them not to tell anyone how much they bought."
"That's what I planned too."
One hundred acres of wasteland, even if it is wasteland, will cost two hundred taels of silver. If you don't show your wealth to others, you can keep it as long as possible.
Although he was protected by the village head and others, few people dared to have any bad thoughts after Liang Mingxuan became a student because he was too high-profile.
"Then let's put it this way. I'll measure the land this afternoon and get the title deed ready tomorrow."
"Thank you, Li Zhengbo."
"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome, haha!"
As soon as the uncle and his wife left, Liang Lizheng slapped his forehead and said, "How foolish! Old woman, old woman!"
Aunt Liang, who was feeding the pigs in the backyard, thought something was wrong and ran over from behind, "What's going on?" Seeing that Liang Li was fine, Aunt Liang breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him, "What are you yelling about?"
Liang Lizheng hurried over: "How much money do we have now?"
Aunt Liang was stunned and looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to do?"
Liang Lizheng: "Buy land!"
"ah?"
"Can't sweet potatoes be grown using vines? Buy more land and plant more."
Aunt Liang slapped her thigh and said, "That's right!"
Sweet potatoes are so delicious that you don’t even need seeds. You can just cut the vines and plant them. If you can afford to buy land, only a fool would plant them.
Aunt Liang didn't bother to feed the pigs anymore. She wiped her hands and hurried back to her room to look at the small cloth bag hidden under the locked wooden box.
She simply took the bag out.
The two of them counted it, and wow, it was a full forty-six taels, eight qian and seventy-nine wen.
Aunt Liang exclaimed, "I didn't realize there were so many. The third brother and his wife have given me more than ten taels recently. This is too much."
You have to know that in the past, if we lived frugally, we could only save five or six taels a year.
But the third brother and his wife have only been together for less than a month.
My goodness, how much would that earn in a year?
Liang Lizheng was good at math and had a rough idea of the amount, so he said, "Let's take out 40 taels and buy some land. Let's buy 20 acres and clear it all as soon as possible so we can plant sweet potato vines."
Forty taels?
Thinking about having to take out forty taels at once, Aunt Liang couldn't help but cover her chest.
A little shivering.
Although the land I bought is my own, I have no money left.
“Isn’t that a bit too much?”
Liang Lizheng said without hesitation: "No. Zhichun bought more than our family. Sweet potatoes are such a good thing, there is no worry about not making enough money to cover the cost."
"Okay."
Aunt Liang sighed, and watched reluctantly as her husband waved his hand and ruthlessly took away all the wealth that had been accumulated bit by bit like an ant moving house.
Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan went home, and Xu Zhichun was silent along the way.
She couldn't help but think of the original owner.
When she thought of the original owner this time, she inexplicably felt a sense of unwillingness, tenacity, resentment, and grievance in her heart. She knew that these were the remaining emotions of the original owner.
She couldn't remember what had happened to her, but she could feel that she had unfulfilled wishes and a genuine love for her brother-in-law.
Xu Zhichun felt a little melancholy, yet also curious. What kind of woman was the original owner? She wasn't sure yet, but she subconsciously had a fondness for her. She secretly told herself that if she ever remembered everything, she would definitely fulfill her wish.
When they returned home, Liang Chunfen came over with a smile, "Sister Zhichun, little prodigy, you're back. Sister Zhichun, should I go chop wood or gather pig grass?"
Xu Zhichun: "How about we just go and pick grass for the pigs?"
There was enough firewood at home because the konjac tofu was cooked at their home. The day before yesterday, Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhuer brought several large bundles of firewood from home, piling them up like a small mountain.
"Okay!"
Liang Chunfen agreed and went happily.
"Sister-in-law, I'm really fine now. Please rest assured."
"Okay, don't rush to review your lessons, take a break."
"Um."
Xu Zhichun fed the chickens and pigs, took a look at the vegetable garden and the cultivated land behind the yard, but did not go far.
In order to make braised meat in the evening, she prepared the necessary spices in advance.
Happy weekend! Don't forget to follow the article. Love you guys
