Elsewhere, after washing up, Mr. Li sat crookedly at the head of the bed and said to his wife, "Second girl mentioned to me today that she wants to buy more wasteland. She wants us to buy some and plant forsythia with her. Do you think it's feasible?"
Over the past six months, she had seen her granddaughter's abilities. Thinking of the family's savings, Wu thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, since that's what the girl wants, you can buy five or six acres. We'll be too busy to handle more!"
Mr. Li originally thought he would have to persuade his wife, but he didn't expect that she would agree so easily. From being so petty in the past to being so straightforward and generous now, his wife has changed a lot!
The next morning, Li Yan met Mr. Li at the door, carrying tofu.
She had mentioned this to her aunt yesterday, asking her to leave some tofu at home this morning and ask the clan leader to go with her today. After all, she couldn't let him work for nothing.
As the two walked towards the clan leader's house, Li Yan asked, "Master, have you decided how much land you plan to buy?"
"Your grandma said that buying five or six acres would be enough! If there's more, I'm worried we won't be able to manage it!"
Li Yan nodded, thinking about the wasteland near her home, which was at least thirty or forty acres. She would ask the headman to measure it later and prepare to buy all of it so that it would be convenient to take care of it in the future!
When they were almost at the clan leader's house, Li Yan handed the five-cent silver coin she had prepared to Old Man Li: "Master, if the village head can't refuse, you can give this money to him as a reward for his hard work!"
Although it doesn't take much effort to measure this wasteland and it can be completed in less than an hour, after all, it is a matter of asking someone to do something, and one still has to act according to the person's mood. Grandpa Li also approves of his granddaughter's approach!
When the two arrived at the clan leader's house, Clan Leader Li was waiting for them at home.
Chief Li saw the tofu in Li Yan's bowl and said, "What is this kid doing?"
Li Yan smiled and handed the bowl to Patriarch Li. "We don't have anything good at home. This is the tofu my aunt just made today. Give some to Patriarch Grandpa to try. Please don't be disgusted!"
"How could it be, how could it be!" After saying that, he quickly took the bowl, put the tofu in the kitchen, and returned the empty bowl to Li Yan.
"Let's go. It's getting late. We should go early. It's best to measure the land today so that we don't delay the planting of medicinal herbs!" After saying that, the three of them went to the headman's house.
Coincidentally, when the three of them arrived at the village where the headman lived, they ran into the headman who was going to the fields.
The village chief saw the three people and asked with a smile, "You guys are so good at this. Why do you want to buy the mountain again?"
Chief Li smiled and said, "I do want to buy some land. I'm thinking of buying some wasteland. Would you be able to help measure it today?"
Seeing the hesitation on the headman's face, Mr. Li quickly shook his hand and said, "Brother, please help me. It's only thirty or forty acres of wasteland. It will only take half a day!"
The village head felt the object in his hand and smiled more sincerely: "Okay, wait for me for a while, I'll put the farm tools home first!"
The village head, who received the benefit, acted quickly and soon followed the three people to Lijia Village.
That piece of wasteland was even worse than the one originally allocated to Li Yan. Not only was it too far from the water source, but the land was also even more barren.
Patriarch Li couldn't help but shake his head. Even if he planted medicinal herbs, he was afraid that the child would not survive. He couldn't help but worry for the child!
The head of the village also noticed that the farther away from the mountain, the drier and barrener the land became. He was afraid that no one would want the land even if he gave it away for free!
After all, he had received benefits from others, so when he saw the land like this, the headman finally released water, and in the end only thirty acres of the thirty-six acres of land were counted!
Li Yan handed the nine taels of silver she had prepared in advance to the head of the village and said, "Grandpas, please stay at home for a while and have lunch before leaving!" The two men refused to leave.
The head of the village said: "Okay, girl, let's talk about dinner later. I'm going back first and will send the land deed to you tomorrow!" After saying that, he was about to leave.
The three of them escorted the village chief out of the village. Clan leader Li said, "Okay, I'm going home too. I still have a lot of work to do in the fields!"
Li Yan thanked him again: "Thank you for troubling the clan leader!"
Patriarch Li nodded and went home with his hands behind his back. In fact, he was secretly looking forward to this girl growing medicinal herbs in such a barren land!
If, if it can really be grown, then those wastelands in the village that no one is willing to cultivate will have a place to be put to good use!
