The villagers of Dashui Village were filled with sighs of regret.
Jiang Tietou not only sold himself, but also his son, daughter, and wife.
This is absolutely absurd!
"Iron Head, you've become a slave, but your life is in the hands of your master. How foolish you are!"
"That's right, it's better to be poor your whole life than to be a slave. Once you sell yourself, your master can beat you to death."
Jiang Tietou looked at them impatiently, as if swatting flies, "Alright, alright, I think you're just jealous that we found a good place to go during the natural disaster."
"What a pity, Master Wang isn't buying people anymore, so you can't sell even if you want to! Alright, alright, if you want to buy land, come; if not, get lost. Don't keep nagging me."
Seeing that Jiang Tietou was unyielding, the villagers of Dashui Village stopped saying anything more.
Seeing that the villagers had no desire to buy the land, Jiang Tietou lowered the price repeatedly. He gritted his teeth, "Twenty taels! For twenty taels, I'll give her all the land!"
However, the villagers of Dashui Village remained silent.
Even without a natural disaster, no family could easily come up with twenty taels of silver. Besides, with the locust plague raging now, it's better to keep that silver for emergencies.
Jiang Tietou glanced at everyone, and finally fixed his gaze on Jiang Wanwan. He had a fawning smile on his face, "Wanwan, you can buy my family's eighteen acres of fertile land and ten acres of mountain land for just twenty taels of silver. Don't you want to consider it?"
I dare say, there's absolutely no land cheaper than mine!
Jiang Wanwan raised an eyebrow, "Are you really going to sell it to me?"
Jiang Tietou nodded vigorously, "Only your family in our village can come up with twenty taels of silver at once. Wan'er, my family was wrong. We shouldn't have treated your family like that. I apologize to you here. Please forgive us and buy our land."
Jiang Wanwan smiled slightly, "Well, since Grandpa Tietou wants me to buy your family's land so much, then I'll buy it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tietou looked at Jiang Wanwan excitedly. "Alright, alright, let's sign and put our fingerprints on it, and we'll ask the village chief to be a witness."
Hehe, great, I can finally get rid of it.
This twenty taels of silver can be kept for protection.
Moreover, according to Master Wang's guess, a drought is very likely to occur soon.
These fields won't be arable for a long time. Jiang Wanwan is spending a lot of money to buy these lands now, instead of saving up some money for herself. She'll regret it later.
This can be considered a lesson I taught Jiang Wanwan.
“Okay,” Jiang Wanwan said with a grin. “Fourth brother, fifth brother, get some paper and pens and bring out a table.”
"Okay." Jiang Liu and Jiang Xun ran home. A little while later, Jiang Xun brought out a small table, while Jiang Liu brought out paper, ink, brush and inkstone.
Jiang Wanwan spread the paper on the table and quickly wrote out two contracts.
She signed her name on the paper and pressed her fingerprint on it. Then she called Jiang Tietou over, "Come and sign here, Grandpa Tietou."
Jiang Tietou walked to the table, took the brush pen handed to him by Jiang Wanwan, and signed and stamped it.
Jiang Wanwan handed one of the papers to Jiang Tietou. Jiang Tietou took it, didn't even glance at it, and stuffed the contract into his pocket.
He smiled and said to Jiang Wanwan, "Wanwan, bring the money."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Jiang Wanwan smiled and folded the contract in half, seemingly putting it into her crossbody bag, but actually putting it into the storage cabinet.
