98 Old Man Wang’s Family Buys Land


    Old Madam Wang silently moved to the side to prevent Vige Chief Hu from spitting another mouthful of water at her.


    She said indifferently, “You didn’t hear wrongly. We want to buynd with 500 taels of silver. How much publd is there in the vige for sale now? If there’s not enough, it’s the same if we buy from another vige.”


    “There’s enough, how is it not enough?” Vige Chief Hu calcted in his heart for a while before saying, “What kind ofnd are you buying? The vige still has hundreds of mu ofnd.”


    Even the worst type ofnd cost two taels of silver for a mu. There was naturally enoughnd for 500 taels of silver.


    “I only want first-rate farmnd. I don’t want second-ratend. There’s no need to talk about the lousier ones.” Old Madam Wang thought to herself. The Guardian God behind Little Ah Yu said that it wantednd worth 500 taels of silver. It probably only wants the bestnd too. God definitely wouldn’t fancy ordinary fields.


    Moreover, Old Madam Wang had already thought about it. The high-quality grain that Little Ah Yu had given her would be nted in these high-grade fields.


    Initially, Old Madam Wang was still a little unhappy in her heart. She felt that it was not good to use Ah Yu’s divine water. But now that these plots ofnd were bought by the Guardian God, it was equivalent to Ah Yu’snd. It was naturally reasonable for her to use the divine water on her ownnd.


    However, Old Madam Wang had to think about how to tell her family. She could not let others suspect Ah Yu too much, let alone let the other vigers know.


    As the saying went, it was not a matter of scarcity but of inequality. The vigers naturally hoped that the Wang family could live well, but they must not live much more luxurious than the rest.


    Old Madam Wang had never thought of sharing the money with the vigers. She was not that generous.


    As for Ah Yu’s divine water, it was even more impossible to share. If possible, she would rather Ah Yu hide the existence of the divine water forever and pretend that there was no such thing.


    “You only want fertile fields?” Vige Chief Hu was in a dilemma. “Our vige only has 80 mu of fertile fields now. Of them, 50 mu are not allowed to be sold. The government has already sent tenant farmers over two days ago. You know, it’s thend near the river at the entrance of the vige.”


    The price of first-rate fertile fields was the most expensive. Now, it was 10 taels of silver per mu. The price of second-rate fields was 6 taels, third-rate fields were 3 taels, and mountainous areas were 2 taels.


    Vige Chief Hu and Old Madam Wang discussed for a while. Vige Chief Hu made the decision to sell the avable 30 mu ofnd in the vige to Old Madam Wang. The price was 300 taels of silver.


    The remaining 200 taels of silver still had to be used for the handling fee. It could not be used entirely to buynd.


    If she still wanted to buy first-rate fields, she could still buy approximately 15 mu more.


    “If you don’t find it troublesome, I can go to the neighboring vige to ask around. There are also many fields in the neighboring Great River Vige. They’re close to the river, and the fertile fields there are better than ours.”


    Actually, there was a lot ofnd in Shanyang Vige as well, but Vige Chief Hu did not intend to interact with the people from Shanyang Vige.


    Their rtionship was really bad now. If he could avoid transacting with them, he would.


    Old Madam Wang ced the 500 taels of silver in front of Vige Chief Hu. “You’re the vige chief, so I’ll listen to you. I’ll have to trouble you to do this. This is 500 taels of silver. I’ve already decided on the 30 mu ofnd in the vige. I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to Great River Vige to buy as much as you can. I’ll also have to trouble you to help me with the various documents.”


    “We’re all from the same vige. You’re treating me like an outsider.”


    Old Madam Wang thought about the remaining 50 taels of silver and took out 20 taels for Vige Chief Hu as remuneration for his help in the administrative work.


    When Vige Chief Hu received the 500 taels of silver, his hands trembled.


    This was really 500 taels of silver!


    However, he still had to go to the bank in town to withdraw the silver first. Then, he could settle this matter in town.


    If he did it well, he might be able to obtain a few more mu ofnd for the Wang Family.


    Old Madam Wang did not mention anything about giving Vige Chief Hu benefits, and Vige Chief Hu did not care about this at all.


    Usually, Vige Chief Hu did not mention any rules of giving gifts. The vigers were not rich, so how could they withstand such a practice?


    However, the vigers would not let him do things for nothing. Those who had money would give him some money, and those who had things would also give him something.


    “By the way, thend in our vige can be registered in my fourth son’s name. Thend outside the vige will be registered in Ah Yu’s name,” Old Madam Wang said.


    These words really surprised Vige Chief Hu.


    “I can understand if you want to register thend in your fourth son’s name, but what do you mean by registeringnd in Ah Yu’s name? No woman in our vige ownsnd.”


    What Vige Chief Hu said was the truth. In the current Great Chang era, women basically did not have any assets under their name, and no one would register their assets under a woman’s name.


    Of course, whether those high-ranking officials would leave assets for their women was another story.


    Vige Chief Hu only had one granddaughter in his family. His granddaughter was still at a lively and cute age, so he did not particrly despise girls.


    However, it was verymon for people to not leave inheritances ofnd or property to the women, unless the family had no male descendants.


    Old Madam Wang only said, “The money we have was earned by Ah Yu. It’s naturally right to register all thend under her name, but that would be too ostentatious.”


    “Did Ah Yu really earn this?”


    “Is there any benefit in lying to you?” Old Madam Wang asked.


    “...”


    Vige Chief Hu thought of the iparably huge python. It was still an unsolved mystery in the vige.


    Actually, if not for the Wang family seeing it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that a two-year-old girl had killed such a huge python.


    However, there were already faint rumors in the vige that Little Ah Yu had been sent by the heavens to save their vige.


    That was their vige’s Blessing Child. Everyone had to love and protect her.


    They did not treat her as an ordinary girl at all.


    It was normal for her to earn 500 taels-as if!


    It was too bizarre!


    “Don’t tell anyone else about thend outside the vige. Just keep it between ourselves.” Before Vige Chief Hu could ask, Old Madam Wang said, “Thosends will be registered under Ah Yu’s name. That way, it won’t be troublesome in the future.”


    Old Madam Wang thought that when Ah Yu grew up, she would treat those plots ofnd as Ah Yu’s dowry.


    Land existed forever. As long as Ah Yu did notmit any major crime deserving of the arrest and extermination of the family, thosends would be left to her forever and could even be passed down forever.


    “Don’t worry, I won’t go out and say anything about this. However, I don’t know if there’s anything nted in the fields outside. If there’s nothing in the fields, you still have to go and nt the fields. At that time, won’t others know?” Vige Chief Hu analyzed. “Your family has the most people and enoughbor, but if you want to nt so many acres ofnd at once, I’m afraid you’ll be exhausted. You still have to look for help.”


    Old Madam Wang said, “We’ll have to trouble the vige chief for this. Let’s follow the rules outside and continue letting the people outside nt in the fields. We’ll take as much profit as is avable. Let’s work out the vige’snd rules first.”


    Old Madam Wang had long thought about it. The vigers could not nt on publd casually, but the vigers’nd could be rented to other vigers.


    ...


    Their family had bought 30 acres of fertilend in Hu Family Vige at once, so they would naturally farm these fields in the future.


    Usually, if the ordinary fields at home could not be nted, they would leave it to the others in the vige to use. Everyone could just give them some food as a token of appreciation. It was fine as long as thend was not deste.


    Old Madam Wang roughly told him her thoughts before Vige Chief Hu went to do his work.


    In the end, he held back his curiosity and did not ask how Little Ah Yu earned so much money.


    It was not easy for the Wang Family to earn a sum of money. Although he was a little envious, he at least knew that this was the path of fortune for other people.


    However, before Old Madam Wang left, she still said to him, “Doctor Hu knows how our family got this money. The weather is good now, so the opportunities might still be there.”


    Recently, Old Madam Wang did not intend to let Little Ah Yu go to the mountains to find that truffle. She was afraid that this was all exchanged with the child’s luck.


    The Wang Family rose too quickly and it won’t be good if they harmed the child’s luck because of it.
