Yu Qingshu and his family endured the hunger and continued to follow Village Chief Liu Hanshan to the yard.

Everyone was in a very good mood when they thought that they would be able to settle down soon.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour and passing a small river, Yu Qingshu and his family finally arrived at the small courtyard that the village chief had mentioned.

What came into view was a yard that looked abandoned for a long time, with weeds growing so tall that they were higher than the knees.

When Yu Qingshu saw the small courtyard in front of him, he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Yu Qingqing frowned and asked, "Village Chief Liu, are you sure? Is this yard still habitable? It must have been so deserted for a long time!"

Yu Qingqing walked inside and felt a sense of powerlessness when she saw the dilapidated courtyard.

Village chief Liu didn't expect Yu Qingqing to be so direct. After all, he had treated people in the village in the same way before, and no one dared to ask him so directly.

There was some embarrassment on his face and some anger in his heart. He thought that they were being too troublesome. It was good enough to have a place to live, but they were still being picky.

However, he did not show anger on his face. Instead, he put on a smiling face and lied with his eyes open:

“Don’t be fooled by the desolateness of this place. The houses inside are clean and can still be lived in.

The four main rooms here are not small in size. "

Yu Qingshu and his family resigned themselves to their fate and followed along, looking at the house inside with Village Chief Liu.

After looking around, I realized that what Village Chief Liu said was right. It is indeed quite big inside and looks quite breathable.

The situation inside the house looked a little better, with fewer weeds, but there was a lot more dust.

Then I walked around the area and found a small pond behind the house.

A lot of fish and shrimps can be seen inside, and this discovery made Yu Qingqing really ecstatic.

There is a large piece of wasteland near the courtyard, which looks quite empty. After the land was reclaimed, it still looks very good.

There were two acres of medium-sized land nearby, and Yu Qingqing decided to buy it all, including the wasteland.

Yu Qingshu also knew that his daughter was independent-minded, so he naturally gave her his full support.

Yu Qingqing stepped forward and asked softly, "Hello, Village Chief Liu! We are planning to buy the small courtyard and the wasteland nearby.

As for the acre of land next to the wasteland and the stream behind the house, how much silver would it cost to buy them all?"

Yu Qingqing thought this through carefully and it was not an impulsive purchase.

But when Village Chief Liu heard this, there was only surprise in his eyes.

They had fled all the way here, and they actually had money to buy land. It doesn't look like they had money. Could it be...

When Yu Qingshu saw the expression on Village Chief Liu's face and the uncomfortable look in his eyes, he knew that he had misunderstood.

He pulled Yu Qingqing behind him and immediately explained: "Village Chief, don't misunderstand!

Our money came from legitimate sources. My daughter knows about herbs and makes all this money from selling them. I am also a hunter and I often go hunting and sell the prey.”

Yu Qingshu was really afraid that Village Chief Liu would mistake them for roaming criminals and report them to the police to have them arrested.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Village Chief Liu's expression eased a little. It seemed that he was short-sighted.

He put on a smiling face again and said with a laugh: "Shame on you! Shame on you! It was indeed a misunderstanding.

If you all want to buy it, the price of wasteland is two taels of silver per mu, and if it is reclaimed, it will be one tael of silver per mu.

The land was two mu in size, which was considered medium-sized land and cost eight taels of silver per mu.

As for the small pond, I'll give it to you for free. It depends on how much wasteland you need."

Village chief Liu Hanshan had a smiling face. He was happiest when someone spent money on him.

Yu Qingshu and his family discussed it and decided that wasteland was still too expensive, so they would just have to wait until the land was reclaimed.

There are two acres of land in the yard just now, so we can plant some crops there first.

Yu Qingshu pondered for a moment and said, "Village Chief Liu, we don't want the wasteland for now. We'll reclaim it later. Let's just buy the small courtyard and two acres of land, plus the pond."

After hearing this, Village Chief Liu also felt that they were wise enough not to waste the money.

Then he turned around and said, "Okay, the small courtyard is still twelve taels. A total of twenty-four taels are needed, but it takes one tael of silver to process the land deed, so you can give me twenty-five taels."

Finally, Yu Qingqing took out twenty-five taels of silver with a painful heart. After receiving it, Village Chief Liu turned around and left with satisfaction.

In consideration of the fact that they spent so much money, the village chief called a few men from the village to help Yu Qingshu and his family pull out the weeds in the yard.

Yu Qingqing took a few cakes to thank others. After tidying up the yard, the family had a quick lunch.

I ate some wild vegetable cakes and drank some water, and then made some delicious food in the evening.

There was basically no furniture in the house, except for a wooden table covered with dust and cobwebs in one room and a few benches.

There is a kang bed in the house, so at least I don’t have to worry about being cold when the weather gets cold later.

Yu Qingshu felt more at ease when he saw the yard in front of him, which was dilapidated but belonged to him.

He smiled a little foolishly and said, "Wife, we finally don't have to ride around any more. This will be our home from now on."

Hua Qinglu looked at the small courtyard in front of her, and her heart was also warm. Although it was dilapidated, it was still their home.

She said with a smile: "Yes, husband! We finally don't have to travel around any more. It's great to have a home!"

Yu Qingqing watched her parents interacting from the side and sighed in her heart.

Suddenly she thought of the person she stabbed. She didn't know how he was doing now, and she didn't know if she would have the chance to meet him in the future.

Yu Qingqing shook her head hard and continued cleaning.

After it was much cleaner, I put the quilt in the space directly on top of it. So far, I have to make do with it.

Then she went to the kitchen, which had a ready-made stove, which was good.

She put out the two pots and other bowls and chopsticks in her space.

Then he filled the water tank with water. Everything was fine except that there was no firewood.

I also added a lot of wheat flour and brown rice, some wild boar meat, and the bag of millet that I had just received today.

There is not much brown rice left, so she plans to buy white rice from now on because she misses it so much.

There were several kinds of vegetables growing in the space. Yu Qingqing picked a few handfuls of green vegetables and put them in the kitchen.

Although they killed the wild boar meat later, it was also to avoid some trouble, and they also ate a small portion of the wild boar meat on the way.

However, there are still quite a lot of pheasants and rabbits in the space.

As for those deer and buffaloes, we will need to find a way to sell some of them later.

For Qingqing, the most important thing for her now is to "make money".
