Chapter 71 I Just Want to Buy Wasteland!
next day
In the morning, Jiang Yuwei, Ning Zhao and Ning Wan ate locust flower buns and took a few pastries before going to collect firewood. Jiang Yuwei thought that if she could find a suitable tree today, she could dig it up and bring it back to plant.
As soon as the three of them left the hospital, Ning Wan took Jiang Yuwei's hand and said:
"Mom, I recently found a great place. The leaves I picked there are loved by our cows, chickens and ducks. I'll take you to see it."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded, then followed Ning Wan. Ning Wan went up the hill from the locust tree where she had placed the beehive, and led Jiang Yuwei and Ning Zhao around the back of the mountain. They saw a large area of land covered with the same kind of plants. Jiang Yuwei frowned and said,
"Whose land is this? Why is it not taken care of? All the useless things are growing here."
Ning Zhao looked around and thought for a moment before saying:
"It should be Grandma Sun's land. Her son went to the army and never came back, leaving only a daughter-in-law. Grandma Sun is always sick and can't go to the fields to work. She relies on her daughter-in-law to make a living."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Zhao in surprise and asked:
"Zhao'er, you know a lot."
Ning Zhao touched his head embarrassedly and said:
"I am the same age as his grandson Goudan, and we often played together when we were young, so I know a little bit."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded, then stepped forward to check the leaves that had grown, and frowned.
"Is this mulberry leaf? No wonder Wan'er said poultry likes to eat it."
Jiang Yuwei said as she looked at the tree trunk again and said in surprise:
"No, this is not a mulberry tree, it's a mulberry tree!"
In her previous life, Jiang Yuwei had seen a video blogger making paper with mulberry trees, so she immediately became interested and pulled Ning Zhao and Ning Wan down the mountain.
Ning Zhao asked doubtfully:
"Mom, are we not going to collect firewood anymore?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"We won't pick it up today. Let's go buy some land first. Then you don't have to worry about running out of paper to practice calligraphy, Zhao'er!"
Jiang Yuwei sent the two children back to the courtyard and said to Ning Huaizhi:
"Huaizhi, I've taken a fancy to the few acres of wasteland owned by Grandma Sun behind the mountain. It's very close to our courtyard, and I want to buy it all."
Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei's excited expression and said with a smile:
"This is the first time I've heard of someone being so happy about buying wasteland. Wife, if you want to buy it, just buy it. I'll do whatever you say."
Seeing that Ning Huaizhi supported her like this, Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded, then went out and walked towards the village headman's house.
As Jiang Yuwei entered the yard of the village head's house, she saw a girl about the same age as Ning Qiu cleaning pig manure in the pigpen. She was wondering when she saw Ning Qiu coming out of the house.
"Sister Yuwei, how come you have time to come here today!"
Ning Qiu happily stepped forward, took Jiang Yuwei's hand, and introduced Ning Daya who was cleaning the pigsty:
"Sister Daya, this is Sister Yuwei. She is the one who always takes me to the market to do business."
After hearing this, Ning Daya quickly put down the sled, rubbed her hands on her clothes, and said in a low voice as if she was very embarrassed:
"Hello Sister Yuwei, I often hear Ning Qiu mention you."
Jiang Yuwei also smiled when she saw this:
"Hello, Daya."
Ning Qiu pulled Jiang Yuwei into the house:
"This is my cousin from my uncle's family. Her name is Ning Daya. She is also a miserable person. She has to do all the dirty and tiring work at home. Today, her grandmother came to ask her to borrow some pig manure from my house to irrigate the fields. She was very envious when she heard that I could make money with you at the market, and she kept asking me about you."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded:
"I came here today to ask the village head to help me."
Ning Qiu led Jiang Yuwei into the house. When Li Zheng saw that it was Jiang Yuwei who came, he asked her to sit down.
Jiang Yuwei smiled and handed the village head some dried venison she had prepared and said:
"Li Zheng, these are the dried meats I made at home. They are very delicious and have a warming and nourishing effect. You can eat some if you have nothing to do."
The village head smiled and took the jerky from Jiang Yuwei's hand:
"Then I'll take it. Yuwei's craftsmanship must be good. What do you want from me today?"
Jiang Yuwei sat down and said:
"Li Zheng, you know that when we separated, my husband's family only gave us two mu of land. Now it has been fenced off to form a backyard. I thought about buying some land near our yard so that we can grow more crops. We farmers still need to have our own land."
The village chief thought for a moment and nodded:
"You're right, but now is a good year, who would be willing to buy land? Do you have a good piece of land?"
Jiang Yuwei took the tea that Ning Qiu poured for her and said with a smile:
"I have picked a piece of land. It is on the back slope of the mountain in front of our courtyard. I heard Ning Zhao say that it belongs to Grandma Sun's family. I think the land has been abandoned for a long time. I wonder if her family is willing to sell it?"
The village chief thought for a moment and said:
"Yes, there are three acres of land on the mountain owned by the Sun family. Speaking of which, his family is also miserable. There is no labor force to farm at home, and many fields are abandoned. Now there are only two women left to depend on each other. The land is abandoned anyway. His family lives a hard life, maybe it makes sense. Come on, you come with me to the Sun family."
The head of the village was a man of swift and decisive character. He stood up and was about to take Jiang Yuwei to the Sun family. Jiang Yuwei naturally wanted to get things done quickly, so without saying a word, she stood up and followed the head of the village out of the house.
Soon the village head brought Jiang Yuwei to the door of the Sun family. They saw that the yard was simply surrounded by a bamboo fence, and the house was also three small mud houses. Grandma Sun was squatting on the ground pulling weeds in the yard. Although the Sun family's house was a bit simple, fortunately the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cleaned it up neatly, and it looked warm.
The village head coughed a few times and shouted:
"Ahem, is the Sun family busy?"
Grandma Sun looked up and saw that it was the head of the village, so she stood up to greet him:
"Oh, what can I do with my current body? I'm just pulling weeds in the yard. Why is the head of the village here today?"
The village head stepped aside to let Jiang Yuwei, who was standing behind him, step out and said:
"This is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ning family. She has been married to our village for a short time. I don't think you know her yet."
Grandma Sun looked at Jiang Yuwei, who was smiling, and nodded:
"Well, I don't know him, but I have heard of him. He looks like a good kid. Come in and sit down."
Jiang Yuwei followed the village head into the yard.
The head of the village did not hesitate and asked directly:
"Have the three acres of land on the back hill of your house been left uncultivated for a long time?"
Grandma Sun thought for a moment and said;
"Yes, now I can't do farm work, and my wife is busy with embroidery, so I can't take care of the land at home. It has been left uncultivated for many years."
The village head laughed and said:
"I think it's a pity that your land is left uncultivated. I wonder if you have ever thought about selling it and getting some money to improve your family's life."
After hearing this, the smile on Grandma Sun's face disappeared. She looked at the head of the village seriously, then raised her eyes to look at Jiang Yuwei who was sitting next to her.
