After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 68 Buying Land
Cuiniang: "On the day my elder sister and elder brother were almost washed away by the flood, you saved them. When you came home with Mr. Lin, I saw the purse hanging on your waist, which was the same as when elder brother Qin left before. Exactly the same one I gave him.

"I was just suspicious at the time. Later, when you saved Yu Niang, I found that your voice was very similar to that of Brother Qin, so I confirmed it."

Qin Feng: "Cui Niang, please listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Cui Niang shook her head, "I know Brother Qin, you don't have to explain to me. You must have your own reasons for doing that. You don't need to tell me."

Qin Feng should have been happy that she was so considerate, but for some reason he felt a little disappointed.

In his heart, he hoped that she would get to the bottom of it. Only if she didn't care would it be indifferent.

She didn't care about the reason why he came to Mingshui Village disguised as a beggar. Does that mean she didn't care about him either?

The two fell into silence for a moment.

Qin Feng thought about it and said, "What did you want to say to me just now?"

Cui Niang: "Brother Qin, why don't you give me the healing medicine, and I can just change the medicine myself, so as not to trouble you to run there every day."

Qin Feng: "Where is the trouble? I wish every day -"

Realizing that he had almost blurted out what was on his mind, he quickly stopped himself and coughed in a covert manner.

"No trouble, the prince comes to see Xibao every day. I want to protect the prince, so I will naturally come with him. It's just a casual thing to give you medicine, so don't feel embarrassed.

"Besides, it's not convenient for you to apply medicine alone. Bandaging a wound may seem simple, but in fact there are certain tricks involved. Whether the gauze is bandaged tightly or loosely, it is not conducive to the healing of the wound."

His reasons were sufficient and legitimate. Cui Niang couldn't hold on any longer, "Then, okay."

She retracted her bandaged hand and dropped her sleeve, hiding the wound.

"It's time for me to go back." Cui Niang picked up the vegetable basket placed aside.

Qin Feng: "I'll send you off."

He said he was seeing her off, but he didn't walk side by side with her. Instead, he stayed behind her from a distance and felt relieved after seeing her safely enter the house.

He could tell that Cuiniang didn't hate him, but she was afraid of his approach. Needless to say, Liu Jingen and Liu Yaozu must have left behind sequelae on her, making her resist men outside her family and afraid of being attacked again. harm.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng's fist hardened.

He couldn't teach Liu Jingen a lesson after he died, but wasn't Liu Yaozu in prison?He had to go to him and "have a heart-to-heart" to make that bitch realize how much of a crime he had committed.

Lin Chunniang came out of the rice field, randomly pulled out a few leeches that had gotten into her calves, and went to the ditch to wash them.

When she got up, she couldn't help but look back at the three acres of paddy fields where rice seedlings were about to be planted. She was tired but happy.

These three acres of good paddy fields were compensated by the Liu family to their family.

With the intervention of the official, the Liu family had to pay even if they didn't want to. The land deed for the three acres of paddy fields was already in her hands.

With these three acres of paddy fields, as long as this year's harvest is not too bad, I won't have to worry about food in the second half of the year.

After returning home, Lin Chunniang became even more happy after hearing what Yu Niang said about the Liu family. She even ate two big bowls of rice.

Yu Niang: "Master Zhu asked Liu Guangzong to hand over sister Liu Hong within two days. If he cannot hand over the bride price, he will take back the bride price."

Lin Chunniang gloated: "Yes! I just pity Liu Hong. This girl is not bad. She even protected Cui Niang that day..."

Her foot under the table was stepped on by the elder brother next to her. Lin Chunniang realized that she was not able to pick up the pot and quickly changed the subject: "Why do you think Liu Hong became a scarecrow?"

Lin Dayou: "Maybe someone secretly rescued Liu Hong and replaced her with a scarecrow."

Hearing this, Lin Wushang and Lin Xi looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

Two days later, as expected, Liu Guangzong failed to find Liu Hong and had to return the 50 taels of silver as the bride price.Otherwise, Mr. Zhu will go to the government to sue him for marriage fraud.

However, the bride price had already reached Liu Guangzong before Liu Hong was forced to get married. He had already spent almost all of it, and when the two days were up, he couldn't get it out at all.

Originally, he had a good idea. As long as he could attend Mrs. Cheng's birthday party, with his talent (as he thought), he would not have to worry about making connections. If he had connections, would he still worry about not having money?

Maybe he could be directly recommended to become an official.

Unfortunately, he never expected that his married sister would turn into a scarecrow.

This also resulted in him not being able to come up with any money to pay back to Mr. Zhu.

Seeing that Mr. Zhu sent someone to ask for the bride price, Liu Guangzong had to try his best to stabilize him. He persuaded him to give him an extension for a long time, promising that the money would be delivered before dark.

As soon as the Zhu family boy left, Liu Guangzong immediately went to the home of his third uncle, the village chief, to borrow money.

In the past, Liu Zhaodi often came to Liu Shuigan to borrow money, saying it was a loan, but she never paid it back.

As soon as Liu Shuigen mentioned repaying the money, Liu Zhaodi cried out to him about her poverty, saying how expensive it was to support her eldest son in education, and how the family's life looked bright but actually they were not enough to eat.

Liu Shuigen thought that during the years when he joined the army, his eldest brother and his family took care of the two elderly people. The money he lent out should be regarded as compensation for his eldest brother and his family.

Liu Zhaodi was not grateful, but instead intensified her efforts. She treated Liu Shuigan, her unmarried and childless brother-in-law, as a money bag, and would plunder it from time to time.

This also resulted in Liu Shuigan having no money at all.

The total wealth of the whole family is only a few hundred pennies.

Liu Guangzong looked at the pitiful few hundred coins with an ugly expression on his face, "Third uncle, I know that in the past, my mother often asked you whether to pay back the borrowed money, which was a bit excessive, but don't worry, I will pay back the money in the future. I’ll give it to you, as long as you, Third Uncle, help my nephew get through this difficult time.”

The implication was that Liu Shuigan was suspected of deliberately not lending him money.

Liu Shuigen slapped the bunch of money on the table and said angrily: "I only have so much in my hand, do you want it or not?"

Borrowing money also lent an ancestor.

Liu Guangzong felt deeply humiliated, but money is still money no matter how small it is. If you don't take it, it will be in vain.

Putting the strings of money into his sleeves, he turned and left, walking heavily on his way back.

After thinking about it, I felt that the only way to make money was by selling land.

He went back to get the land deed and went to Liu Shuigen again: "Uncle Third, I want to sell the land. It's best to sell it before dark."

The Lin family was surprised and happy to learn that Liu Guangzong was selling their land.

Lin Chunniang slapped her thigh and said, "Good sale! I have wanted to buy land for a long time, but unfortunately no one in the village is selling it, so I can buy it now."

Cui Niang: "Sister, what if the Liu family refuses to sell it to us?"

Lin Dayou: "No, Liu Guangzong sold the land to raise money and return the bride price to Mr. Zhu, otherwise Mr. Zhu would go to the government to sue him. Liu Guangzong is now eager for someone to buy the land."

Lin Chunniang: "What you said is right, but we can't hide the fact that our family bought the land and had a large deposit in hand. I'm sure it will arouse the jealousy of some people. Then they will deliberately cause harm to us. How can we protect ourselves when we are alone?"

Sanfu, who has always been a man of few words, suddenly said: "Is it feasible to let someone else buy it for us and then secretly transfer the land deed to our family?"

Lin Chunniang slapped her brother on the head: "This is a good idea! But who will buy it for us?"

As soon as this question came up, the Lin family all thought of one person——

Even Yu Niang thought of it, raised her hand and said: "Young Master Lin!"
