Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

The village chief didn't know yet that the whole village had to go to town to help find the twins.

He was at the county government office, carrying some silver money to help Li Mengyue buy a small hill and get a land deed.

Although the small hill and wasteland are assets of the village, the sale and purchase still needs to go through the government, and after the land deeds are obtained and clear procedures, they will truly belong to Li Mengyue.

"Zhang Zhubo, the small hill and wasteland in our village have been sold to Li Mengyue. Can you please help me get a land deed?"

"Village Chief Li, it's not that I don't want to help you, I'm just too busy and can't spare the time. In addition, the small hills and wastelands in your village need to be re-measured, so going back and forth will take up a lot of time. How about this, you go back first and come back in half a month."

Who is Village Chief Li? Having lived for so many years, he naturally heard the hidden meaning in Zhang Zhubo's words. He smiled on the surface, but was cursing in his heart.

He had never heard that the transaction of village assets required re-measurement.

As the village chief, he knows better than anyone how much land there is in the village, so there is no need to measure it again.

Zhang Zhubo said this because he just wanted money, why did he have to speak in such high-sounding terms?

However, although he was reluctant to spend the money, he also knew that if he didn't give enough money today, it might take even half a month, let alone half a year, to get the job done.

Moreover, he saw that Miss Yue had a great use for these lands, and he couldn't help in other places. If he couldn't even handle this small matter, how could he have the face to see Li Mengyue.

Besides, Yue girl is now the hope of the whole village. As the village chief, he cannot hold everyone back.

So he suppressed his heartache, took out two taels of silver from his pocket and put them on the table.

Zhang Zhubo glanced at him sideways and said nothing. He sat there calmly, picked up a book from the table and flipped through it casually.

When the village chief saw Zhang Zhubo flipping through the book, he gritted his teeth, took out three taels of silver from his pocket and put them on the table.

As soon as the village chief took his hand away from the table, Zhang Zhubo's hand reached out, and in the blink of an eye, the five taels of silver were gone.

"Oh! Village Chief Li, what did you say just now? You want to sell the hilltop and wasteland in Xinghua Village to a woman named Li Mengyue. The total is 1300 acres. The current price of wasteland is one tael of silver per acre, which is taels of silver. You must have brought enough."

When the village chief heard this, he knew it was settled. There was no need to measure the land and the deed could be completed today.

It seems that the saying is true: the government office faces south, so don't come in if you don't have money.

If he doesn't take the silver today, nothing will be done.

It doesn't matter that he feels sorry for the money, but it would be terrible if it delayed Miss Yue's important business!

"That's enough. I brought the silver here today. Please help me get the land deed."

"Okay, okay, that's it..."

"what?"

The village chief saw that Zhang Zhubo seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he didn't understand why there was still something wrong after receiving the money, and why he couldn't do it immediately.

Seeing that Village Chief Li didn't understand what he meant, Zhang Zhubo pursed his lips and looked at his right hand.

The village chief looked over and saw Zhang Zhubo rubbing his thumb and index finger. What was there to understand? He just wanted money.

But he had already given five taels. As far as he knew, the monthly salary of people in the county government was not very high. He already had five taels of extra income, but he still wanted more. This was too greedy.

Seeing that Village Chief Li did not take any action, Zhang Zhubo put the spread paper back and said casually, "Village Chief Li, you know that it is not easy for the brothers to go to the village to measure the land. It takes time and energy."

Thinking that he would never get back the five taels of silver he had given out, Village Chief Li took out another five taels of silver.

After receiving the silver this time, Zhang Zhubo did not make things difficult for the village chief and directly wrote the land deed. The only thing missing was the official seal of the county government, which would only be valid if it was stamped by the county magistrate himself.

In fact, there were no such rules before County Magistrate Yang came. He had the authority to issue land deeds regardless of whether it was a small piece of land or a large area.

Nowadays, any land transaction exceeding 500 acres must be approved by County Magistrate Yang. Otherwise, if the deed is not stamped with the official seal, it will have no legal effect.

In other words, even if Li Mengyue had the land deed, the hill and the wasteland were not hers.

Therefore, after Zhang Zhubo finished writing the deed, he prepared to go to the back court to find County Magistrate Yang.

Village Chief Li was lucky that County Magistrate Yang did not go out today. If it were any other day, he would have made a wasted trip.

Zhang Zhubo arrived at the back court and walked to the study where County Magistrate Yang worked.

"Guard Yang, is the master in the study?"

"What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?" Yang Run asked in a businesslike manner.

"It's like this. The small hilltop in Xinghua Village and the wasteland below the hill were bought by a girl named Li Mengyue. I came to ask the adults to stamp the official seal."

"Okay, you wait first."

After listening to this, Yang Run asked Zhang Zhubo to wait outside the door while he went in to report.

After a while, the door was opened by Yang Run.

"The master lets you in."

"Thank you, Guard Yang. I'll be in right away."

Zhang Zhubo thanked Yang Run and went into the study.

"I am Zhang Ran, and I pay my respects to the master."

"Get up and bring the title deed."

"Yes."

Zhang Zhubo stepped forward and handed the land deed to the county magistrate.

When County Magistrate Yang saw that the name of the woman he was buying was Li Mengyue, the image of the fake daughter immediately emerged in his mind.

The last time he met her at Huang Shiren's house, he knew that the fake daughter was not living well after returning to her biological parents' home, otherwise why would she go to Huang Shiren's house.

But now she actually gave him such a big surprise again. You know, before he came to Wuning County, he knew that this place was remote and the people lived in poverty.

But after more than two months of visits, I realized firsthand how difficult life is for the people and how they need someone to lead them in changing their current situation and living a good life.

But he was better at government affairs and knew nothing about farming.

He also wanted to help the people, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing Li Mengyue buying so much land at once, somehow, he felt a little expectant in his heart, hoping that Li Mengyue could make good use of the land.

So he wrote a new deed with a stroke of his pen, adding another 1100 acres of land on the basis of the 200 acres of hilltops and 500 acres of wasteland.

These 500 acres of land do not belong to Xinghua Village, but are located to the south of Xinghua Village and Taohua Village. It is also close to the mountains and no one grows crops here. Giving it to Li Mengyue as a gift is nothing at all.

When Zhang Zhubo took the land deed out, he was still confused.

In his impression, the county magistrate was a person who clearly distinguished between public and private affairs and would never do such a thing to be partial to his own interests.

What's more, 500 acres of land were donated. Even if it was wasteland, it was still land. At one tael of silver per acre, it would be a total of taels of silver if sold.

I don’t know if the county magistrate has lost his mind, or if there is something special about this Li Mengyue that makes the county magistrate take notice of her.

Suddenly Zhang Zhubo thought of a possibility, that is, their county magistrate was still very young and had not yet married and had children. He wondered if he had fallen in love with this girl named Li Mengyue.

Giving away 500 acres of land was to win the favor of the beauty. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhubo felt that he might be on to the truth.

If this girl named Li Mengyue became the wife of the county magistrate, and later found out that I had encountered difficulties in getting the land deed, I would still be able to end up well.

So when Zhang Zhubo took the land deed and returned to his office, he had already made up his mind.

Therefore, when Zhang Zhubo handed the land deed and ten taels of silver to Village Chief Li, Village Chief Li was completely stunned.

What happened was that not only were 500 acres of land added to the title deed, but the ten taels of silver that he had given away were also returned.

Before Village Chief Li could react, Chief Zhang stuffed ten taels of silver into his hand.

"Brother Li, look at what you are doing. You come to me to do something, but you are still so polite. If you do this again next time, I will be angry."

After Zhang Zhubo returned the silver to Village Chief Li, he said arrogantly.

Village chief Li was confused and didn't understand why Zhang Zhubo changed his attitude so quickly.

He looked indifferent before, but now he is smiling so exaggeratedly that all the wrinkles on his face are brought together, which looks weird.

But he still gave the silver to Zhang Zhubo.

This incident made him deeply understand that it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.

It's not enough to just have money to pave the way, someone has to take the money before things can be done, otherwise you'll just have to keep waiting.

Naturally, Zhang Zhubo coveted the ten taels of silver. You know, although he worked in the county government, he only earned two taels of silver a month, which was not much better than that of an ordinary farmer.

Because the whole family depended on these two taels of silver to survive, they lived a tight life and were reluctant to eat and wear.

"Zhang Zhubo, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I could get this done. You must take this money. I will treat you to a meal some other day."

After hearing what Village Chief Li said, Zhang Zhubo no longer refused and took the silver.

Besides, he would not feel guilty taking the silver, as he saw that there were 500 acres of land extra on the land deed.

"Okay, this is what you said, brother. When I have time, I will go to your house for a couple of drinks. You are not allowed to refuse."

"Of course, of course."

……

After exchanging greetings with Zhang Zhubo, Village Chief Li took the freshly-issued land deed and prepared to return to the village.

But as soon as he returned to the town from the county, he saw Yue Yatou and a group of children.
