Chapter 87 Buying Land
"Wang Hao, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Zhang was so angry that she didn't even call out her uncle and called Xiucai by his first name. She pointed at Xiucai and shouted angrily, "I tell you, this matter is endless!"

"Then what do you want?" Lin Guoxiang, who appeared out of nowhere at this time, stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhang Shi's back collar and pulled it back vigorously. He took a few steps back quickly before he managed to stabilize his body.As soon as she stood firmly, she quickly turned around and waved her hands to give Lin Guoxiang a big-eared melon seed, but Lin Guoxiang had already moved to Xiucai's side to stand with him, and at the moment she was looking at Zhang with her hands crossed. Shi, a trace of bloodthirsty excitement flashed in his eyes.

When the scholar saw Lin Guoxiang came forward, he naturally stood aside and did not speak. Now it is a matter between their women, but he is not easy to intervene as a man.

Zhang's head is already hot with anger, how could he notice Lin Guoxiang's vaguely excited and bloodthirsty expression?She almost jumped up and pointed at Lin Guoxiang's nose and was about to yell, but fortunately she didn't yell, otherwise today she would be doomed to tragedy.

"Why are you so unreasonable? Why does the old lady let our family support?" Mrs. Zhang said, "Aren't you sons? Wang Hao, you must have a conscience. The old lady saves money for your study. If you come out and earn money, then you don’t have to serve your wife?”

"Before you speak next time, think carefully before you speak." Lin Guoxiang answered from the sidelines, "The thing about reading is because the uncle can't read it by himself, and the old lady has no choice but to force Wang Hao to study. If it wasn't for She herself loves vanity and wants to be envied that she is a scholar's mother, how can she be so kind to let Wang Hao study?" About studying, she only found out when she was chatting with the scholar once, and it turned out that the scholar was the same as Wang Yuanzhi in the beginning. Those who are willing to study, but the eldest brother Wang Liang can't get in and Cui Shi is so strong that he insists on forcing his son to study hard, saying that the mother who can't be a scholar will make others envy her and die.

But Wang Liang has been dull since he was a child, and he is not a material for studying at all, so after persecuting Wang Liang to no avail, he turned his attention to Xiucai. Naturally, he will firmly grasp the slightest opportunity to read and write desperately, but he is also smart, and he was admitted as a scholar when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Every time she thinks of this paragraph, Lin Guoxiang can't help but sigh, and she sympathizes with Xiucai, who is another poor child who desperately longs for family affection.

After hearing Lin Guoxiang's words, Mrs. Zhang shook her neck angrily and shouted, "You are talking nonsense, the old lady is clearly biased!"

"I'm full and I'm talking nonsense with you here." Lin Guoxiang said impatiently, "Believe it or not, if you really don't believe it, you can ask uncle when he comes back in the evening." After finishing speaking, she turned to unlock the lock. I plan to pay attention to Mrs. Zhang again.

But Mrs. Zhang is not willing to give up. The old lady has not figured out the matter, so how could she let them go like this, so she reached out to pull Lin Guoxiang's clothes: "Speak clearly for me, I tell you, you If I don't get the old lady here today, I'll never end with you!"

Lin Guoxiang was completely annoyed by her, she quickly dodged Zhang's outstretched claws and grabbed her backhand with a flash of her body, three fingers pinched her wrist, pinching her wrist with a little cleverness, Just screaming "Ouch" in Zhang's pain, his face turned pale instantly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Lin Guoxiang looked at Mrs. Zhang coldly, and said in a deep voice, "If you have any dissatisfaction, let your man come over and talk about it. As for you, you are not qualified! Also, I don't have much patience, so I advise you to stop messing with me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." !" After speaking, she shook her vigorously, and she staggered again.

Once she was free, Zhang quickly covered the wrist of the hand pinched by Lin Guoxiang with the other hand, only feeling the pain in the place pinched by Lin Guoxiang, as if the bone was about to be broken Same.She looked at Lin Guoxiang in horror, although she was very dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't dare to rush over to trouble her again, and finally stared at Lin Guoxiang with resentment and gritted her teeth and said: "Lin Guoxiang, wait for me, Let's not finish this matter!" After speaking, he was afraid that Lin Guoxiang would rush over to make trouble for him, so he quickly ran away without looking back.

The scholar watched Zhang go away, then tilted his head slightly to look at Lin Guoxiang, and asked, "Your move just now is also a kind of kung fu?"

"En." Lin Guoxiang responded, "My grandfather created this one himself, called...the Phoenix Claw." Grandpa, please forgive me, the name you chose is really unpronounceable...

How could Xiucai fail to hear Lin Guoxiang's pause just now, but she wisely didn't expose her: "My sister-in-law is gone too, I should go back and continue teaching the children."

Lin Guoxiang shook her hands impatiently, opened the door and went in.

Seeing Lin Guoxiang's eyes like this, Xiucai could not help but darken, pursed his lips and sighed inwardly before turning and walking towards the school.

When Wang Liang came back in the evening, Mrs. Zhang made a big fuss at home. In the end, Wang Liang had no choice but to consult with Xiucai. I know that my mother doesn't want to see Guo Xiang at all, if Guo Xiang goes to take care of my mother again, won't they both feel panicked? Why don't we just pay some money to hire someone to help take care of us when it's our turn, so as to save the family from having to worry about it? This thing is messing up."

Wang Liang sighed after hearing this, and said: "Okay, just do as you said." As long as you don't make a fuss over this matter, he is also tired and flustered in the middle now, and he didn't take a good rest when he came back after a long day. Then he still had to deal with these bad things, and even Wang Liang felt a bit overwhelmed with such a dull temper.

After Wang Liang finished speaking, he went back in silence. He probably told Mrs. Zhang what the scholar had said, and Mrs. Zhang had another fight. Finally, Wang Liang was so troubled that the couple fought again. In the end, this matter was settled like this. When I saw Mrs. Zhang again, although she still had a nose and eyes, but she never came to fight with Xiucai and Lin Guoxiang again.

Two days passed in such a peaceful way. Father Lin and elder brother Lin Sijin came. Father Lin told Lin Guoxiang: "Girl, there is a piece of land on the side of the mountain over there for sale. Your elder brother and I I also went to see it, except for some miscellaneous trees, the land is quite good, although it is not too fertile, but it is more than enough to plant fruit trees, but the original miscellaneous trees are a bit troublesome to clean up."

Lin Guoxiang immediately became happy when she heard that there was a land for sale, and quickly asked, "Is the land near our house?"

"It's pretty close." Lin Sijin took it and said, "My father and I went to see it, and it's not far from our orchard." After he paused, he asked Lin Guoxiang, "Little sister, do you really want to buy land?" Plant fruit trees?"

"Of course." Lin Guoxiang nodded and replied without thinking. Being a landlady is her greatest dream so far. Now that this dream is finally coming true, how could she give up, "Dad, brother , How many acres is that piece of land? How much money is needed? There must be a lot of people buying it, why don't we go back and buy it now, or what if it is bought by someone?"

Seeing Lin Guoxiang's eager look, Father Lin comforted her and said, "Don't worry, we've already negotiated with the government about the land. We just need to wait for the money and the land deed to come back tomorrow."

When Lin Guoxiang heard this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, as long as no one buys it." In fact, she didn't know that Father Lin had already helped pay for the land in advance, and the title deed was all over. He got it, but he was worried that his daughter was just talking casually, and if he regretted it now and said that he didn't want to buy the land, then he wouldn't tell her, and he could grow the land by himself.

"Father, how much money does that piece of land cost, I'll go and get the money for you right now." Lin Guoxiang asked.

"200 taels." Father Lin was not polite to Lin Guoxiang, and said directly, "The land has [-] mu, and it costs two taels of silver per mu. This is the lowest price when negotiating the price. If it is lower, the government will not accept it." sold."

"Okay, then I'll take the money." Lin Guoxiang didn't even hesitate after hearing this, and went directly into the main room to get the money.

Seeing that Lin Guoxiang was so surprised, Lin Sijin couldn't help asking Father Lin in a low voice: "Father, my sister really wanted to buy that land. I thought she was just joking."

Father Lin glanced at his eldest son and said, "That's right, I was shocked when I first heard it." After speaking, he suddenly grinned happily, and said with a smile, "That's fine, buy the land At our house, your sister will go to live in order to take care of the place, so that our family can get together again."

Lin Sijin nodded, obviously agreeing with his father's words: "That's true. When the younger sister's family moves there, they won't have to be angry with their mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law anymore. Our family can get together, which is great."

The father and son stopped talking immediately when they saw Lin Guoxiang coming out.

Lin Guoxiang came out and put three 100 taels of silver bills into Father Lin's hands, fearing that he would think too much, she quickly explained: "Father, the 200 taels here are money for buying land, and the rest The 100 taels is wages. You just said that there are a lot of miscellaneous trees in the field, and it will take some work to clean up. The family is also busy with farming, so I will definitely not be able to let go, so I use the money to hire some workers to do it. Let's go." After speaking, he glanced at Papa Lin with some trepidation, for fear that he would reject her again like last time.

Father Lin was very angry at first, but after listening to Lin Guoxiang's words, he thought about it for a while, and finally put away the money: "Okay, when the time comes, let's hire a few more workers to clean up the land, maybe I can also grow a season of soybeans and sorghum, and I can make some money."

Seeing that Father Lin was not angry and put away the money again, Lin Guoxiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.She also knew that doing so might seem a little extravagant, but there are five older brothers in the family, she always takes advantage of her mother's family, even if the older brothers don't talk for a long time, can the sisters-in-law have no complaints?So it's better to divide everything up at the beginning, so as to avoid troubles when you can.
