Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 320 Asking for Dowry (1)
After hearing these words, Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt had a complicated expression on her face, and after a while she slowly said, "What's the use of being sad now! A mother will only be in front of her own men and children. , so blindly weak that she can't even protect her own son. But if this mother-in-law can be a little bolder and stronger, and don't let her father-in-law mess around, she won't be able to get to where she is now!"

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at his aunt, her expression was not very good, so she said to Uncle Lu: "Uncle Lu, you have worked hard for these days, go and rest!"

After Uncle Lu left, Mrs. Sun looked at her little girl's expression, sighed, and said, "I have seen your mother-in-law before, she is not a bad person, so don't blame her in your heart! "

"Mother, I don't blame her, I just feel a little puzzled. How can a mother be so weak? She gave birth to her son. If she is a mother, she can stand up and preside over a little justice. I don't believe that their brothers can go to such a level! What's the point of caring about my son's whereabouts at this point!" Lin Xiaoqiao's aunt said a little angrily.

When Mrs. Li heard this, the expression on her face was not very good-looking. She sighed leisurely and said, "Alas—this world is already harsher on us women! Moreover, people are not the same as each other. In the same way, our two sisters have so different temperaments! People like your mother-in-law are indeed rare, but at least deep down in her heart, she still knows that she cares about her son, so don't be angry anymore !"

Listening to her mother's words, Lin Xiaoqiao thought in her heart that although Mrs. Li was also weak, she would still resist when it came to the matters of their children.

People are indeed different. Lin Xiaoqiao also heard her aunt talk about her weak mother-in-law before. Compared with Li Shi, she can only say that the weakness between people , are all different...

After the troubles at Li's sister's husband's house were settled, Lin Xiaoqiao's grandmother led the family back home.

The days entered February, and for farmers, spring plowing was imminent. Over the past few years, Lin Xiaoqiao's grandma's family had accumulated a lot of wealth just by selling Fuguo.

With the money, old man Li first went to buy the wild mountain in their village. It didn't cost much money to buy the mountain, but he spent some money on dredging at the government. After all, buying a mountain is different from buying a mountain. field.

In ancient times, all mountains were the property of the public. Unlike land property, as long as the money was spent, buying and selling was not troublesome at all. As long as the buyer and seller communicated with each other and negotiated a good price, there would be no problem.

However, if you want to buy a mountain, you must get permission from the government. So when Mr. Li bought the mountain, he spent less than 100 taels of silver for dredging, and it cost only 300 taels to buy a mountain. It's less than [-] taels of silver.

This premise is still that the current emperor is very encouraging the people to cultivate and open mountains to develop the economy, so the government did not make it difficult.

Although the top of the mountain has been bought, because the mountain was unowned before, no one has taken good care of it, and there are patches of weeds growing everywhere on the mountain.

Therefore, at the beginning, old man Li spent a lot of effort, brought some hired workers every day, and slowly opened the whole mountain bit by bit. At the end of last year, he even planted seeds on the mountain. Many fruit tree seedlings.

I believe that in two or three years, Lin Xiaoqiao's family will be able to eat the fruits grown on the mountain of his grandma's house. On such a big mountain, the money from selling fruits every year should be enough for their family to be rich. Let's live.

In addition, in the past few years, old man Li has also used his own money to buy a lot of land. Lin Xiaoqiao heard from his grandmother last time that it seems that their family now has hundreds of acres of land. It can be regarded as a veritable landlord class.

As for Lin Xiaoqiao, in recent years, most of his thoughts have been spent on running a business and opening a shop. Therefore, his family did not buy much land. Eighty acres.

Moreover, because the family moved to the provincial capital last year, Uncle Lu took care of all the fields in the town. Except for the fixed [-]-acre field used to grow mustard every year, most of the others have been taken care of by Uncle Lu. Tsukuda went out.

Now, Lin Erniu just took care of it. The two villages they bought in the provincial capital last year almost didn't care much about the fields in the town here.

This year, because Mrs. Li is pregnant, it is not suitable to travel long distances. Therefore, Lin Xiaoqiao and the sisters do not plan to go back to the provincial capital in the near future. In order to return to live in the provincial capital.

Li's fetal appearance has gradually stabilized, perhaps because she has her own sister and the company of Widow Zheng, and her mood is much better than when she first became pregnant.

Therefore, recently, Lin Xiaoqiao began to think about adding more land to her family. She felt that after all, her grandma's family had already been upgraded to the class of landlords, so her family could not be left behind.

Anyway, there is still a little spare money at home now, and it is still on the shelf. It is better to use it to buy more land. Even if the business of the shop cannot continue in the future, at least their family will not sit at home hungry Die.

Moreover, now that my two older brothers have already gained fame as scholars, unlike before, the whole family is white, so they don't dare to buy more properties, for fear of attracting the fear of some local gentry and bullies, and a bad man might be afraid. If you pay attention, you will not be able to keep your own property.

In this small town of Anping, the identity of a master scholar is quite useful, not to mention there are two scholars in their family. Therefore, at present, as long as there is a little calculating person, it should not be able to Come to trouble yourself.

Throughout February, Lin Xiaoqiao was almost frantically buying land. After one month, she really added nearly a hundred acres of land to her family, making her a successful little landowner, worthy of the name.

After buying the field, Lin Xiaoqiao put aside his picks and left all the fields in the hands of Uncle Lu for the time being. Therefore, poor Uncle Lu not only has to take care of various trivial matters in the Lin family's house every day, but also To travel between the various properties that the Lin family bought, it can be said that he was so busy that he almost exhausted his old bones.

It was at this time that Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly realized that there seemed to be too few talents available for her subordinates.
