The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 60 Obsession
Qin Ziyan stayed awake all night, and Old Lady Qin also did not sleep well as she was full of worries.
When they woke up the next day, both of them had bruises under their eyes.
The grandparents and grandchildren each had their own concerns, and Old Lady Qin couldn't even muster the energy to reclaim the land.
Qin Ziyan wanted to give in to Old Lady Qin, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
So he spent the whole morning around Old Lady Qin, moving around without saying a word, trying to attract her attention in this way.
Old Mrs. Qin looked very annoyed and simply hid back in her room, out of sight and out of mind.
At noon, someone from the village suddenly came to the Qin family to inform Old Lady Qin to hurry to the village entrance. They said that Captain Yu had come with a notice regarding the reclamation of wasteland in Changhe Village.
When she heard that it was about land reclamation, Old Lady Qin no longer cared about being sad about the passing of time and hurried towards the village entrance in a hurry.
Qin Ziyan just came out of the room, and when he saw Old Lady Qin leaving the door, he hurriedly followed her.
He is not interested in reclaiming wasteland or anything like that.
What Old Lady Qin said last night made him feel uneasy.
He thought about it and hoped that Old Lady Qin was just angry with him and that everything would be fine after she calmed down.
As for the hurtful words that Old Lady Qin said last night, he just pretended he didn't hear them.
Old Mrs. Qin didn't know yet that she was generously "forgiven" by her grandson.
When she rushed to the village entrance, Qin Ruo was leading Captain Yu and Master Qian and their group heading towards the Qin family, followed by a group of villagers from Changhe Village.
Old Mrs. Qin looked at the crowd in front of her, confused for a moment.
Didn’t Captain Yu come with some notice for land reclamation?
Now, let’s see how these people are heading towards their homes at the end of the village.
Before Old Lady Qin could say anything, she was pushed aside by the villagers who swarmed after her.
One of the women who had come to the Qin family to help cook noodles some time ago saw Old Lady Qin standing on the side of the road and quickly ran out of the crowd.
She trotted up to Old Lady Qin and took her arm enthusiastically.
"Oh, old lady, you're finally here. What are you still standing there for? Captain Yu and the lawyer have gone to your house to measure the wasteland."
"If you ask me, your girl is really promising. She bought 20 acres of wasteland..."
"What? Are you saying that my Yaguan bought twenty acres of wasteland?"
Old Mrs. Qin was stunned by this sudden news. Her voice rose eight octaves and she interrupted the woman.
"Auntie, you didn't know yet?"
Seeing Mrs. Qin's reaction, the woman let go of her arm awkwardly.
"I... I know it. I was just teasing you."
Old Mrs. Qin forced herself to smile to save her face.
Qin Ruo bought the land without consulting her on such a big matter, and Old Mrs. Qin was not in a very good mood.
The woman looked at Old Lady Qin's ever-changing expression, but did not expose her and quickly changed the subject.
It's no secret that the Qin girl and Old Lady Qin are not close.
"Auntie, Captain Yu and Master Qian just said that from now on, as long as the pioneers of Changhe Village obtain the land deed, the land they reclaim will belong to them and they will be exempt from taxes for three years."
"The notice is still posted at the entrance of the village..."
Old Mrs. Qin gave an occasional answer, and responded absentmindedly from time to time.
Old Mrs. Qin was thinking about Qin Ruo's purchase of land. She also thought about last night and the troubles caused by Qin Ziyan, and her mood became even worse.
When they arrived at the destination, Captain Yu and the yamen runners he brought with him began to measure the wasteland.
At this moment, Master Qian was grinning from ear to ear, because Qin Ruo had just temporarily added an additional thirty acres.
The Qin family's move shocked the villagers for a while.
Everyone felt sad. The villagers in Changhe Village could only earn about ten taels of silver a year, which was barely enough to support their family.
According to what Master Qian said about 300 wen per mu, the Qin family spent taels of silver just to buy the wasteland.
Therefore, everyone was secretly wondering how much money the girl from the Qin family earned that time she went into the mountains.
"My fellow villagers, the land under heaven belongs to the king. The land you reclaim after the sale of the land deed is yours. With these three years, if you take good care of the wasteland, it will have become fertile land. Are you still worried about not being able to pay taxes in the future?"
"Now that the new policy has just begun, the price of this wasteland is only symbolic, 300 coins per mu. It's hard to say what will happen in the future..."
Master Qian knew how to create anxiety. As soon as he finished speaking, most of the villagers couldn't sit still.
After Wang Lizheng fell from power, the villagers thought about reclaiming wasteland, but with the lessons learned from the past, no one dared to act rashly.
Besides, when Lao Li was in power, why would there be any need for money to buy the wasteland in Changhe Village?
What's more, there is no need to pay any taxes at all.
But what Master Qian said makes sense. Didn’t we suffer in the past because we didn’t have a land deed?
I saw that the Zhou family, the Yang family, and Aunt Jiang's family had already lined up to register with Master Qian.
The villagers who were still hesitating gritted their teeth and lined up at the back of the line.
If I hesitate any longer, I'm afraid that the good spots will be taken by others first.
No one would worry if the Qin family offered 50 acres. It would be possible for one to squeeze out money and buy one or two acres.
People tend to follow the crowd, and more and more villagers lined up to register.
By the time Captain Yu and his group finished measuring the land and went to the next villager to register, Old Lady Qin finally found an opportunity to talk to Qin Ruo.
"Ruo'er, why do you suddenly want to buy so much wasteland? I know you have your own way to make money. Although the court will not collect taxes for three years, if a natural disaster occurs after three years, I am afraid that our family will not be able to pay taxes..."
Old Mrs. Qin had a worried look on her face, and she didn't dare yell at Qin Ruo like she did to the original owner in the past.
Qin Ruo bought fifty acres of wasteland without saying a word and without even discussing it. Old Mrs. Qin felt very uncomfortable.
"Since I can buy it, I have my own plans." Qin Ruo didn't want to say more and interrupted Old Lady Qin coldly.
Although Old Lady Qin's attitude has changed a lot during this period of time, Qin Ruo has always been very sober.
She herself was not Qin Qiuxi, so she did not feel much about Old Lady Qin's deliberate approach to her.
As long as Old Lady Qin doesn't cross the line, she won't deliberately make things difficult for the other party.
"Then the deed to this fifty acres of land..." Old Mrs. Qin spoke cautiously with a smile on her face.
"The title deed is naturally written in my name, so you don't have to worry about that. Of course! Don't think of using filial piety to pressure me. After all, after I died once, I don't care about what others think."
Just now, Old Lady Qin did have the idea of holding the land deed in her hands.
Looking at the face in front of her that was familiar yet somewhat strange, Old Lady Qin stammered a few times. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.
Dalang blamed her for being unfair, Da Yatou was divorced, and Erlang was not close to her. How did she end up like this?
