Chapter 19 Buying Land
The next day, old man Yun got up early in the morning and walked to the village chief's house with money in his arms.

"Uncle, have you eaten? Where are you going?"

"Eat, go to the village chief, there is something wrong"

"Uncle, you are busy. I'll go to the field." A man from the village greeted Old Man Yun enthusiastically.

"Old Yuntou, why don't you go to the field, where are you going?"

"Hey, you old boy, let you call me old man Yun, you have to call me old Yuntou, I really want to fight, I'm going to the village chief's house, I have something to do." The black-faced old man replied with his eyes wide open and unhappy.

"Okay, okay, old man Yun, I won't chat with you anymore, you can go to the village chief's house quickly." The black-faced old man had an expression of saying whatever you said, and he smiled after saying hello, and walked to the field with a hoe on his shoulder go.

There were quite a few people in the countryside who went out to work in the fields early in the morning. Along the way, they met several people from the village and said hello to Mr. Yun.

Finally, they arrived at the village head's house. The village head's house was the first brick house in Yun's village. It was bigger than Yun's house. It was located in the middle of Yun's village. There were four sons and two daughters in the family.

The eldest son Yun Jiang married his wife Wu Shi and had three sons.

The second son, Yunhe, married his wife, Wang, and they have two sons and a daughter.

The third son, Yunhu, married his wife, Chen, and had a son and a daughter.

The fourth son, Yunhai, has not yet married a wife because of his young age.

The youngest daughter, Yun Baozhu, is only 15 years old and still unmarried.

Yun Lijuan, the eldest daughter of the village chief's family, is married. There are more than a dozen members of the family living together. The house must be big, but this is not enough.

"Da Jiang, is your father at home?" Old man Yun walked to the door of the village chief's house, just in time to see the village chief's eldest son coming out, so he hurriedly asked.

"Uncle, my father is at home, I will lead you there." Seeing that it was old man Yun, Yun Jiang hurriedly led him into the house again.

The grandfather of the village chief and old man Yun's grandfather are brothers, and the village chief Yun Zetian and old man Yun are cousins. There is nothing wrong with the village chief's son calling old man Yun uncle.

"Father, my uncle is here to look for you."

"Why are you here, brother? What's the matter?" The village chief Yun Zetian came out of the room when he heard what the elder son said, and asked when he saw old man Yun in the yard.

"I want to buy land, you can see if there is any."

"How much land do you want to buy, brother?"

"I want to buy 35 mu of fertile land, [-] mu of which is closer to my family's land, and the other [-] mu, you can look for it. These [-] mu of land are for the clan."

"Hey, how did Big Brother buy so much land? Do you have enough money in your family? You won't empty out your family, right?" If you have money, you won't empty out your family.

"Don't worry about this. I must have money to come to you. The boss went up to the mountain a few days ago and was lucky enough to pick a wild ginseng in it. I borrowed an ox cart for you yesterday and asked your sister-in-law to take the boss there. Sell ​​the ginseng, and you can get this amount." Old man Yun waved three fingers in front of the village head.

The village head took a deep breath, looked at Old Man Yun in surprise and asked in a low voice, "300 taels?"

Old man Yun nodded.

"That's good, that's good, congratulations brother." The village head congratulated with a smile.

"Hey, this is also luck. It's not because we want to have some money. Our farmer's family still has reliable land. Previously, the scholar of the third middle school did not give the family a field. It just so happened that this opportunity happened. Please help me to see it. How much is it, how can the county government get it?"

"Okay, big brother, it's just right for you to ask today. There is not a landlord named Lin in our village. I heard from his housekeeper that his son has made a lot of money in business in Fucheng, and he wants Landlord Lin to go and enjoy himself."

"Yesterday morning, the servants of the family came to me and told me that they were going to sell the [-] mu of land in the family. It's not that he has been in our village for many years, and let our villagers buy it first. If no one buys it, he will hang up the tooth shop."

"If the eldest brother wants to buy it, I will ask the second child to go to Lin Landlord's house and ask his housekeeper."

"Okay, trouble brother."

"Hey, they are all my brothers, so why bother? Besides, the land bought by the elder brother still has [-] acres belonging to the clan. Our clan uncles must be happy."

"Second brother, second child, go to the landowner's house across the river and tell his housekeeper that someone in our village bought his land."

"Hey, Dad, I'll go right away." A man around 25 came out of the room, answered and left the house.

After about half a cup of tea, the second child led a slightly fat middle-aged man in a blue silk shirt into the courtyard.

"Father, I have invited Butler Lin here."

"Village Chief Yun, who wants to buy my master's land?"

Steward Lin followed his second child into the main room of the village chief's house, and asked the village chief with a bow.

"Steward Lin, this is my cousin. My cousin wants to buy the land in your mansion. Look at your price..." the village head introduced to Steward Lin.

"I wonder how many acres of land this old man wants to buy?"

"35 acres, I wonder if it's feasible?"

Butler Lin pondered for a moment and then said: "It's a bit small, but our master explained that 35 mu is 35 mu. The market price is [-] taels of silver per mu of good land. If you look at a village, you can count it as seven taels per mu. You think it is feasible. If possible, let's take a look at the land, and then we can go to the county government to transfer ownership."

Old man Yun has been farming for half his life, and he knows how much good land is per mu, and the price is not bad. If you go to a dental store to buy it, you can get at least eight taels of silver per mu, and it may not be in a village, so he immediately replied: "Yes, yes. "

"Then let's go and see, if possible, we can finish it today."

Mr. Yun followed Steward Lin to look at the land, and picked the [-]-acre field closest to his own land, and another [-]-mu field. The owner of the forest was also harvesting grain, so he told Mr. Yun that the grain would be harvested. Afterwards, the land belonged to the Yun family. Old man Yun went home after negotiating with Steward Lin, and asked his eldest son to take the silver ticket and follow the village head to the county seat.

Outside the county government gate, Yunyi carefully folded the land deed that had just been stamped and put it in his arms. It cost more than 200 taels of silver, so he had to put it away.

They took the Lin family's car together and went back to Yun's village. At the entrance of Yun's village, Yun Yi got out of the car with the village chief, thanked him and parted ways with Steward Lin.

Yunyi walked home with the village head.

"Uncle, you and Aunt Guixiang will bring the children to my house for dinner tonight. My dad can tell you that you must come. I'll go back first. You must come at night." Yunyi sent the village head to the door of the house, said something and hurried I ran away, for fear that the village head would not agree.

"Hey, kid, I didn't say no, what are you doing running so fast, there's a dog chasing after you..." The village chief suddenly realized that there was a dog behind him, so he didn't mention himself.

"Bah, bah, bah, I'm getting old, and my brain is not working."

After Yunyi finished talking to the village chief, he trotted home all the way. From Mr. Yun to find the village chief, to seeing the location of the field with Lin Steward, and then to Yunyi taking that car to the county to transfer ownership, all this has passed It's been a long time, and it's already late afternoon.

When they got home, old man Yun and Mrs. Zhao had been waiting at home for a long time. Seeing that Yun Yi had returned, they hurriedly asked, "Boss, how is it going? Has the land deed been completed?"

"It's done, it's done, Dad." After speaking, he took out the title deed from his arms and handed it to old man Yun.

Looking at the two land deeds, old man Yun felt much more at ease, and gave one of them to Mrs. Zhao, motioned to put it away, and put the other in his arms.
