Chapter 208: Stupid People with Lots of Money
Anyway, those lands are idle, so they might as well be sold at a low price.
Seeing this, the Zhao clan leader also said, "Our Zhao family also has 26 acres of abandoned land over there. Like the Zhou family, we sell it for one tael of silver per acre."
Mo Jiuye first looked at Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou.
After all, they all came to Xiling Village for their own families, and since there was land for sale, they naturally couldn't leave others out.
When Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhuo heard that the land had been abandoned for many years and had low yields, neither of them was interested.
They were not very good at farming to begin with, and if they tried to cultivate such land, they would probably end up with nothing.
Therefore, the two of them shook their heads at Mo Jiuye at the same time, indicating that they did not want to buy such land.
If possible, they would like to buy some of Cui's fertile land.
The two did not want to buy these lands that had been abandoned for many years, which was exactly what Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran wanted.
They had planned to buy all the land at the foot of the mountain and build their future house there if possible.
In this way, their family business can be managed centrally.
Mo Jiuye made the decision immediately.
"Two clan leaders, I have decided to buy all of your lands."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Zhiran brought a large silver ingot weighing ten taels.
"Two clan leaders, this is the deposit for the land. Once our family is settled in the next few days, we will go to the government office to handle the land transfer procedures."
Such a large silver ingot placed on the table immediately gives people a feeling of wealth.
Seeing this, Clan Leader Zhou smiled and said, "Old Nine's wife is really polite. Just give me a symbolic deposit. We will be neighbors in the future. How can I not trust you?"
Now, the two clan leaders have determined that the Mo family is stupid and rich.
Not only did they take all the land, they also paid for it so readily...
He Zhiran didn't try to guess their thoughts at this time. He smiled and replied, "The money will be paid sooner or later. This deposit also shows our sincerity in buying the land."
"Okay, okay, in that case, we will accept it without hesitation."
Chief Zhou was very humble and pushed the silver to Chief Zhao.
"Chief Zhao, please keep this silver for now. Once we have completed the formalities at the county government office, we can divide it up."
Patriarch Zhao smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll follow Brother Zhou's arrangements."
From this we can see that the two clan leaders, Zhao and Zhou, are very good people. They are humble and not greedy for money.
After the purchase of their land was completed, Mo Jiuye asked, "Also, I heard that many of the houses we were allocated here belonged to members of your clan?"
Patriarch Zhao explained the ownership of those houses.
Mo Jiuye asked again: "I wonder if those courtyards are for sale?"
From what Mo Jiuye said, it seemed that he wanted to buy those courtyards that were so dilapidated that they couldn't be dilapidated anymore. The two clan leaders were completely upset.
"Old Nine, you want to buy those yards too?" Patriarch Zhou was a little incredulous.
You know, those courtyards are an eyesore. Not only are they unable to repair them, but they are also always used by the government for exiles to live in for free.
Although no one can live there for long, such things still make people feel a little upset.
Mo Jiuye smiled and said, "My family all likes quietness, so I think it would be more appropriate to build a house there.
Moreover, it is close to the land we bought, so it is convenient to take care of it.”
Both clan leaders felt that what he said made sense.
"Well, that's a good idea. However, there are so many yards at the foot of the mountain. Have you decided which one to buy?"
"If possible, I plan to buy them all." Mo Jiuye's words were not at all dragged out.
"Buy them all?"
The two clan leaders were once again shocked by his words.
If it was just one or two courtyards, he would just buy them, after all, the population of the Mo family seemed to be quite large.
But if they buy them all, what do they need such a big place for?
"Old...Old Nine, you have to know that although those courtyards are a bit shabby, they are still much more expensive than buying land. Are you sure you want to buy them all?
Also, the reason we moved away from there was because it was not easy to avoid harassment from the barbarians.
Look at the houses of the people in our village. No matter how dilapidated the houses are, the walls are more than one person high.
Stay away from the foot of the mountain, so that the barbarians will have a chance to discover us in advance, and we will take timely precautions.
If you build your house at the foot of the mountain, even if you build a high wall, if the barbarians come, you won't even have time to prepare for defense."
Although Patriarch Zhou was very eager to turn the family's dilapidated houses into silver, he also felt it necessary to give a reminder.
Collecting the money is a small matter. If the Mo family feels unsafe living there, they will feel guilty even if they take the money.
Mo Jiuye knew that the two clan leaders were kind-hearted people, and he was very grateful for their sincere reminder.
However, he didn't take the harassment from a few barbarians seriously at all.
As long as there is at least one man in the family, the barbarians will return empty-handed.
He smiled and said, "I have my own plans for these. If possible, I want to buy all those yards at the foot of the mountain."
Now, not only the two village heads were uneasy, even Mo Chuhan was a little anxious.
Before he went up the mountain today, he took a special look at the foot of the mountain.
There are at least twenty abandoned yards of varying sizes there.
Is Ninth Brother crazy? Are you planning to let everyone in the family live in their own yard?
"Ninth brother?"
Mo Jiuye knew that the myna had doubts, but it was not easy to explain too much in front of so many outsiders.
"Myna, I'll tell you later."
Seeing that his ninth brother said this, Mo Chuhan had to suppress all the doubts in his heart.
When Mrs. Mo saw that her eighth son seemed to be objecting, she quickly spoke up to help Mo Jiuye.
"Chu Han, listen to your ninth brother. The He family is now in charge of our Mo family."
Mo Chuhan knew that the ninth brother's wife was in charge of the family.
Ninth brother did this with his sister-in-law's intentions.
But he just couldn't figure it out. Including Liang Hao and others, there were less than twenty people in his family. What was the purpose of buying so many yards?
Since the old mother is speaking for the ninth brother, it means that the mother also supports the ninth brother and his wife.
Therefore, Mo Chuhan decided to keep quiet and wait and see.
The fifth brother knew that he had lost his memory, and he decided not to get involved in family decision-making until he remembered it.
The two clan leaders finally realized that the only people whose words were final in the Mo family were Mo Laojiu and his wife, and the old lady.
Since the three people in charge all have this idea, it would seem hypocritical for them to offer any further advice.
"Old Nine, our Zhao family has seven courtyards at the foot of the mountain, of varying sizes. How about we check them out on site and then decide on the price?"
The Zhou clan leader also continued: "We have nine courtyards in the Zhou family, and the price is the same. Let's discuss it after we have seen them.
As for the remaining five, they all belong to the Cui family. If you want to buy them, you should consult with the Cui family."
