Chapter 81 Buying Land
After Jiang Zhiluo figured it out, her expression softened, she shook her head and said, "I've slept well, I don't need to sleep more."

"I'll get up first."

With that said, Jiang Zhiluo got up and got out of bed to wash.

Cui Hejin also got up.

While Jiang Zhiluo was washing in the yard, Cui Hejin told Mrs. Cui about the location of the homestead.

Cui Hejin comforted Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Cui was not worried about her safety.

"Well, you spend more time with Zhiluo on weekdays, and go home early after school."

"If you stay with Zhiluo, Zhiluo will feel more secure."

"Woman, I still hope that my husband will be by my side."

Mrs. Cui told Cui Hejin based on her own experience.

Cui Hejin glanced at Jiang Zhiluo who was busy in the yard, and felt that she had a different temperament from her mother.

She doesn't necessarily need company like her mother does.

……

Jiang Zhiluo naturally didn't know this.

While eating breakfast, Mrs. Cui said: "Zhiluo, after thinking about it, I will build the homestead behind the village as you said. Hejin will go home early after school, so it will be safer."

No, mother, do you have any misunderstanding about safety!
Jiang Zhiluo blinked and looked at Cui Hejin, not knowing how he convinced her mother.

"Mother, since we've decided so, we'll go to Uncle Li Zheng after we have dinner and measure the land, so we can go to the yamen to get the land deed."

Only the red deed after being stamped by the yamen is the real land deed, which is guaranteed in the hand.

Mrs. Cui nodded and said, "Okay, earlier."

"When the weather is warm, we can find someone to build the house early, and in half a month, everyone will be busy farming."

From mid-to-late March to April, the villagers are busy planting wheat, corn, peanuts, vegetables and other crops.

Taking advantage of the beginning of March, when everyone is not so busy, they can hire villagers to help build houses.

If more people are hired, it can be built earlier.

Now that they have decided to buy land, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui will not go to the town to set up a stall to sell leek boxes this day.

After breakfast, it was still early, so Cui Hejin accompanied Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui to Lizheng's home.

As soon as they reached the door, they heard a raised voice inside.

"What, you want six taels of silver? Our village girls don't even ask for such an expensive gift. Six taels, how dare you ask for it!" This was Zhu's shocked and unbelievable voice.

Another woman said: "Don't worry, the girl is indeed a flower in the village, she is beautiful and capable, her parents promised at least six taels of silver as a bride price."

"The bride price is expensive, but marrying Zhou Zhaoxi to a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law, watching them live a good life, won't you feel at ease."

Zhu said with a headache: "The key is that my family can't afford six taels of silver at all."

Mrs. Zhu discussed in a low voice: "Isn't it okay to have two taels of silver?"

"Oh, don't be fooled by the dowry money spent by the Cui family in your village to marry their daughter-in-law. Now, anyone who is good-looking and can do a good job will not ask for a lot of dowry for marrying a daughter."

"The conditions in your village are poor, and the land is scarce and barren. You can find out after asking about it. Many families are not willing to marry their daughters to your village, so they need at least four taels of silver for the bride price."

Mrs. Zhu said in a low voice: "Hey, I just said that Zhiluo's child is good, and the Jiang family is also a good family. Who would have thought that Zhiluo's child fell in love with the Cui family's child."

Zhu originally planned to tell his son.

She really likes Zhiluo.

Although he looked a little stupid and not very smart before, he is a nice person.

But now the more I look at it, the more I feel that this child has grown up, as if he has suddenly opened up, and understands a lot.

Jiang Zhiluo listened at the door, feeling that she was involved, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Mrs. Cui felt a lot of emotion in her heart, but fortunately she let her son marry Zhiluo back earlier.

As for the emotion in Cui Hejin's eyes, no one knew.

Jiang Zhiluo was next to him, and she always felt a chill emanating from him, and she didn't know if it was an illusion.

Jiang Zhiluo felt a little embarrassed and thought about going home first.

At this time, someone from the village went up the mountain and passed by here, saw Mrs. Cui and her family, and greeted with a smile: "Sister Cui, you are looking for Li Zheng, they are at home, why don't you come in."

People in the village speak naturally loudly.

There may be some little women who speak softly at first, but after staying in the village for a few years, their voices grow louder.

This speech was heard by Mrs. Zhu in the courtyard.

Get out of the house quickly.

"Oh, sister Cui, He Jinzhi Luo, you are here."

The other woman probably felt that staying was not the time to talk, so she greeted Mrs. Zhu and left.

Mrs. Zhu warmly entertained Mrs. Cui and the others.

Knowing that she was going to buy a one-acre homestead, Zhu was shocked, but she came back to her senses in an instant, and she shouted towards the back room: "Zhaohe, go to the field and call your father back."

After a while, a young boy ran out, politely called Mrs. Cui and the others, and ran out.

Mrs. Zhu poured water for Mrs. Cui and the others, and chatted with them, and soon, Lizheng came back with a hoe on his shoulder.

Li Zheng said excitedly: "Nephew Cui Xian, do you really want to buy the homestead behind the village, one mu of land?"

"But let me tell you first, people in our village don't like to buy land behind that, it's close across the valley, and even if the land over there is enclosed to plant something, the land is very barren and not suitable for growing things."

"And the price is not cheap, four taels of silver per acre of homestead, which is also the price set by the county government."

Because of this, that piece of land was planned as a homestead.

They are all from the same village, and Li was thinking of telling others about the situation first.

Cui Hejin said softly: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou, for letting me know, but we still decided to buy a one-acre homestead there. Maybe I need to ask Uncle Zhou to measure it for us."

Seeing that the Cui family has made a decision, Zhou Zhengde can't say anything more.

"Alright then, I'll take you to the back to measure the land and help you measure a good place."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

"We're all in the same village, and our two families are close, so there's no need to talk about that."

Zhou Zhengde was also happy for the Cui family. He did not expect that the Cui family would be able to buy their own homestead and build a house so soon.

After measuring the land, it happened to be time for Cui Hejin to go to school.

Cui Hejin and Jiang Zhiluo went to town together.

Jiang Zhiluo also brought the stewed pig that she cooked last night into the water, so that it could be consigned at Lin Zhuzhu's meat stall.

But Cui Hejin was traveling with her, so it was inconvenient for her to make space.

Ben was a little worried about what to do, but Zhou Zhaoxi came driving an ox cart, and he said enthusiastically, "Brother Cui, Sister Jiang, I heard from my parents that you are going to the town.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin, and found that his expression was normal, so she nodded and said, "Then thank you, Brother Zhou."

Just as Jiang Zhiluo finished speaking, Cui Hejin coughed.

"Cough cough..."
