Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 794: Careless

The huge farm at the foot of the mountain also has a large orchard, which is even bigger than Gujiazhuang. It was originally the property of the Wu family. Even the Zhao family couldn't get involved, and ordinary people couldn't buy it.

The reason why it is still in the hands of County Magistrate Huang and no one around knows that it is actually County Magistrate Huang's property. I'm afraid that County Magistrate Huang is also worried that a disaster is imminent and he and his family have retreated there.

Careless.

I actually forgot to ask Liu Lang if he had noticed that the manors that the Huang family owned in the list were still okay, but the manors that were privately owned were almost like mountains in a row.

The mountains here are a good place. Instead of burning the mountains, we can hide inside. We need to have a plan to deal with and avoid the wild beasts in the mountains. It is definitely not difficult to hide for ten or eight years.

"Fortunately, the Gu family had an unfilial son. It was so difficult to buy a farm, but this one was sold, and sold in small quantities. My father bought it that year and got drunk on the day he got home.

My father said that as long as we could get a piece of land, we wouldn't have to worry about Master Gu not selling it. Unfortunately, he hadn't expected that Uncle San would also set his sights on this place and secretly bought all the prime land."

Gu Erlang almost laughed out loud.

Yes, who could have thought that Liu Lang's father-in-law was not only good at pretending to be poor, but also so tight-lipped. Dozens of acres of prime land were right under his nose, but no one in the entire village knew about it.

Of course, Manager Wang and the head of the village also contributed to this. After all, the land deeds had to be registered with the government office to calculate the summer and autumn taxes, and the head of the village could not hide it from anyone.

"My father said that he had never seen Third Uncle do things like this. It was too late when he found out. Otherwise, the entire Gujiazhuang would belong to my Ma family, so why would we need to give away half of it?"

Gu Erlang had to speak up, "You can't say that. Gujia Village is next to Qinghe Village. If the Gu family and Zhou family didn't give in, your father wouldn't have had the chance to get the first half of the land a few years ago. It was my father who found my great grandfather and my second grandfather, so no one stopped him.

This is just like when someone in our Gu family transfers land, it must be transferred to the clan members first. His Gu family does not dare to offend both the Gu and Zhou families at once.

What's more, Liu Lang's father-in-law still has dozens of acres of land there. Their Gu family's land is a farm, not scattered fields. It is next to his father-in-law's land. If they want to sell it, they will definitely tell him.

Even if my father-in-law gets the Gu family to give in first, when the time comes to negotiate the price and sign the contract, the Gu family will definitely inform Liu Lang's father-in-law that he wants to sell the remaining land.

First, the neighboring Dongkou Village only recognizes our Qinghe Village. They will not recognize the Gu family, which only has one farm here, unless the Gu family is extremely powerful.

It can be said that as long as Liu Lang's father-in-law says hello to the head of the village and the head of Dongkou Village, even if the people in Dongkou Village are not relatives of the Zhou family, they will make things difficult for the Gu family.

Otherwise, why do they say that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people? In the surrounding villages here, after several generations of relatives, the Zhou family is definitely more like our own family than the Gu family.

When family members are bullied by outsiders, they don’t unite to find fault. One reason is that it is embarrassing, and the other is that everyone is afraid that it will be their turn, so family members won’t lend a hand.

Therefore, Liu Lang was awarded the title of Xiao Sanyuan, and even several surrounding villages were happy about it. In their hearts, this area was their family, and they were not afraid that Liu Lang would be bullied by outsiders when he became an official.

Also, why did the Gu family inform Liu Lang's father-in-law that the remaining land had been sold? To raise the price, but your father was too smart and didn't give the Gu family any loopholes to raise the price.

This is why your father asked you to go to your sister-in-law to buy the dowry land. If your sister-in-law doesn't show up, it will be difficult to connect the remaining fields with her father's dozens of acres of top-quality land. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to connect them, but it will be troublesome to water them and affect the harvest. When your sister-in-law wants to buy, her father's dozens of acres of top-quality land will naturally be exchanged with your father."

It’s just that your father had calculated everything, but he didn’t expect that Zhou Sanya, in addition to the dowry, actually had a lot of cash in her hands, and she dared to spend it!
Generally speaking, no matter how devoted a newly married daughter-in-law is, she will wait until she has children and gets settled in her husband's family before using her own money to buy land.

Who knew that Zhou Sanya was different from ordinary people and had great courage. She just set your father up. One wrong step led to all the wrong steps and it was too late to regret now.

When Gu Erlang thought of the tone of his mother-in-law's voice expressing regret for missing out on the Feng Shui treasure land of Gujiazhuang, he almost laughed out loud and forgot to change the subject quickly.

"Actually, there's nothing to regret. This situation is actually good for everyone. With Liu Lang and his wife by your side, no one in the government office will dare to make things difficult for your family.

Just last year, when the land tax was collected for two seasons, didn't anyone dare to mess with your family? Look, Liu Lang came to give him some benefits again tonight, so he asked his senior brother for two vacancies for the yamen runners.

He said there were no vacancies for clerks now, so he and his sister-in-law wanted to find a way for your mother's family. They could go to the yamen first and then take a look nearby to see if there were any vacancies for clerks.

It’s just that my sister-in-law has been thinking too much. She is worried that your parents will think she didn’t do her best if she asked your brother to be a yamen runner. She didn’t dare to tell you and asked Liu Lang to ask me what to do. ”

Hearing this, Ma Shan burst out laughing, "It was San Ya who did it, no wonder she said before I came back that if I encountered any trouble, I should just look for her.

Yes, San Ya said she was short of money and came to her, could it be that she borrowed Daya's money to buy the yard and land because she was afraid that I would be jealous? Liu Lang came to you to talk about the money we need to spend?"

This sister-in-law is very thoughtful.

Gu Erlang knew that his sister-in-law could not be unaware of what his silly brother mentioned tonight, and she must even agree with it. However, he did not expect that his sister-in-law would use his wife's mouth to reassure him.

But in front of his wife, he praised his brother's wife for not only having good spirit, but also being smart and capable of handling things? Are you crazy? This is just like you can't praise your brother's wife for her beauty.

"That's true. Otherwise, why would I say that you, the eldest sister-in-law, are not as good as our eldest aunt? Speaking of Liu Lang, I am a henpecked brother, afraid of my wife."

Ma Shan suddenly laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at? That's how it is. Zhou Sanya is very cunning. If you weren't in her eyes and she had you in her mind, would she always be afraid that you would suffer and want to protect you?
You are the eldest sister-in-law and you love her like your own sister. But when there is something to take advantage of, she doesn't think about her biological elder sister. Instead, she is worried that I will not agree and it will make you embarrassed, so she goes around in a roundabout way and ask Liu Lang to find me. She is also worried that you are short of money and ask your mother's family, so she asks you to look for her when you are short of money, right?

This person is very cunning, but fortunately, he treats you very well. I feel much more at ease now that you have such a sister-in-law who can protect you from the bottom of her heart, my dear. "

Ma Shan sneered, "I've already told you that no matter how cunning San Ya is, she has her own people. Our parents only have you and Liu Lang, and I'm not Da Lang's wife. You still don't believe it!"

You can despise me if you want, but if I don't say this, how can I let you be a good sister-in-law? Gu Erlang couldn't help but laugh, "It's mainly because my wife is knowledgeable and sensible--"

"Okay, stop teasing me and get down to business. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the clinic. Tell me what good thing you can do to get a bargain. Don't we have enough money?"
