Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

That evening, Li Yu found Aunt Wu and told her what Han Xiuwu had said.

Aunt Wu didn't quite believe what she said, but since it was related to business, she didn't dare to take it lightly and kept saying that she would pay attention.

Li Yu knew that she had an idea in her mind, so he continued to do his own thing.

I had previously told those businessmen from other towns that they could come to her to buy braised meat in early September.

August is just around the corner, and she should start getting ready.

At least build a house for cooking braised meat first.

*

Li Yu plans to build a few new houses specifically for cooking braised meat.

She had been observing for a while and had selected several plots of land.

One of the plots is the land on the right side of my yard. If I can buy it, after the new house is built, I can open a small door in the wall and the two yards can be entered and exited at will.

Other plots of land are also available, but they are some distance from home and not very convenient.

After discussing with Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei, Li Yu decided to talk to the owner of the land next to his own first.

It would be best if you could sell it to her, but if you can't, she won't force you.

The land next door belongs to Li Tiandi in the village. Li Tiandi is a relative of the village chief. He is the youngest son of the cousin of the village chief's grandfather. The village chief usually has to call him uncle.

Li Yu thought that he had little contact with Li Tiandi, so he asked the village chief to go with him to discuss the matter with Li Tiandi.

Li Tiandi is in his forties, has a beard and looks quite shrewd.

When he heard that Li Yu wanted to buy his family's land, he agreed without hesitation, but he had some requirements.

"Land is not cheap nowadays. If Xiu Wen's wife wants it, it will cost ten taels of silver."

Li Tiandi showed ten fingers and said, "I won't sell it for less than ten taels!"

Ten taels of silver is actually too much. The fertility of this piece of land is poor, and the annual output of one acre of land can't even sell for one tael of silver. What's more, this piece of land is only a little more than half an acre.

According to normal prices, this piece of land is only worth five taels of silver, at most six taels of silver.

The village chief knew the market better than Li Yu. When he heard that Li Tiandi wanted ten taels, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Li Yu shook his head at him and asked Li Tiandi solemnly, "Are you sure you want ten taels?"

Li Tiandi was a little afraid of Li Yu, but thinking of the silver, he stiffened his neck and said, "Yes, you must give me ten taels, otherwise I won't sell it."

Li Yu looked at him for a while and said, "Then I'll buy it for ten taels of silver."

But it was four taels of silver more than the normal price, so she could afford it.

Li Tiandi didn't expect that he could get a few more taels of silver so easily. His expression when looking at Li Yu was a little better than before.

*

In order to avoid any further complications, Li Yu planned to buy the land immediately.

On the way back with the village chief, the village chief said earnestly: "Xiu Wen's wife, I know you can earn money, but you can't spend it like this. My uncle is clearly taking advantage of the situation. If you agree to him this time, others will follow his example in the future."

Li Yu understood his painstaking efforts and thanked him first, then said: "That piece of land is indeed not worth much on the surface, but it is worth it to me. As for others imitating him in the future, Uncle Li, don't worry, I am not someone who can be easily manipulated."

Seeing that she showed no fear at all, the village chief swallowed the rest of his words.

Indeed, Xiu Wen’s wife is a brave person, otherwise she would not be liked by the princess.

*

The two went their separate ways in the middle, Li Yu went home to get the silver, and the village chief went home to write the deed.

Half an hour later, Li Yu and Li Tiandi stood together in the yard of the village chief's house.

There were two deeds on the table in the yard, and Li Tiandi and Li Yu needed to put their fingerprints on them.

After the village chief finished reading the article, he motioned for the two men to come forward and put their fingerprints on it.

Li Yu stepped forward decisively.

Li Tian took a step forward, then suddenly stepped back, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Li Yu turned around and looked at him.

The village chief frowned: "Uncle, it's time to press your fingerprints."

"I won't sell it anymore." Li Tiandi suddenly said, "I won't sell it anymore!"

Village chief, Li Yu: "..."

Li Tiandi said: "Ten taels of silver is not enough, I want more."

Li Yu was silent for a moment, then asked, "How much do you want?"

Li Tiandi showed five fingers and said, "Fifty taels!"

Wow! The lion opened its mouth!

Li Yu looked at Li Tiandi quietly, "Are you sure?"

Li Tiandi crossed his arms and said, "Sure, that land belongs to me. I can sell it for whatever I want."

Li Yu: “…”

Beside him, the village chief frowned tightly and shouted in a low voice, "Uncle, you don't even have an acre of land, how dare you ask for fifty taels?!"

Li Tiandi glared at the village chief with disdain, "Don't interfere in the affairs of the elders. Don't think you can yell at me just because you are the village chief!"

village head:"……"

Li Tiandi thought he had hit Li Yu's vital point, and said with a strong sense of pride: "Xiu Wen's wife, I know you want that piece of land, and I am willing to give it to you, but you have to take more silver. Your business is doing well, and there is a reward from the princess, I think you don't need forty taels of silver."

After hearing this, the village chief felt that Li Yu would not buy it unless she was a fool.

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Yu's voice rang out in the courtyard, "Whether I am short of money or not is my own business. As for that land, I will not buy it."

Li Tiandi’s smile froze.

Li Yu nodded to the village chief and said, "Uncle Li, you have seen what happened today. I don't think it is appropriate to buy land now, so I will not buy it this time.

I'm sorry to bother you for following me around for so long. I'll ask Xiaomei to bring you some braised meat tonight."

Village chief: "It's just a small matter, why are you being so polite?"

Li Yu said a few words to the village chief and turned to leave.

Li Tiandi was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped up, pointed at Li Yu's back and cursed: "How could she not buy it?"

"She's not a fool." The village chief looked at Li Tiandi as if he were a fool. "Uncle, you've gone too far this time."

He had clearly already taken advantage, but was still greedy, and ended up in this situation.

Li Tiandi felt regretful for a moment, but the next moment, he became complacent again, "In the entire Qingshui Village, there is no land better than mine. She will definitely come to me to buy it. Humph, I don't believe she can give up that land."

Village chief: “…” Why is his uncle getting more and more confused as he gets older!

*

Li Tiandi confidently went home and waited for Li Yu to come to him to buy land. However, after waiting for three days, Li Yu still did not show up.

He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he ran to the village chief's house to ask about the situation.

"Does she still want the land? If she doesn't buy it, I will raise the price! Tell her that my land won't wait for anyone."

The village chief looked at him inexplicably, "Xiu Wen's wife has already bought the land, uncle, haven't you heard about it?"

Li Tiandi's voice suddenly rose: "She bought it. When did she buy it? Whose land did she buy?"

"She bought it the day before yesterday. It's the land on the left side of her house, from Wang Erfu's family." The village chief hinted, "Erfu and his wife are both good people. They asked for a normal price. Xiuwen's wife thought they were honest, so she gave them an extra three taels of silver and promised to invite Erfu's wife to help after the house was built.

And Erfu, Xiuwen's wife has found him a job now - helping her tend the rice fields. By the way, she pays him more than the workers in the town."

Li Tiandi: “…”
