Qin Da couldn't hide his excitement, holding the five taels of silver tightly in his hand, "Auntie, if you trust me, I will definitely help you get things done!"

Qin Da turned around to communicate with the people in Xianyu Village. Old Mrs. Xu was still a little unsure and tested Xu Ning with her eyes. Xu Ning gave her a reassuring smile in return.

Old Mrs. Xu made up her mind immediately. Xu Ning had already been agreed upon by everyone in the Xu family, and they all spoke in the same tone. As long as their attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, the chances of him staying were very high!

After all, people can never get along with money.

Sure enough, when Qin Dayi said that building a house would cost fifty cents a day, the way those people looked at the Xu family members changed.

Of course, they were not coveting, but excited.

Xu Daqiang was strong and Xu Yuan had a cold face, and both of them looked difficult to talk to.

But these two people who looked difficult to talk to did not speak, but the old lady was talking. The old lady even kept looking at the "boy", indicating that this group of people was led by the "boy".

Qin Da had also seen such a combination when he went to the county. It seemed that these were rich people traveling!

Qin Da knew that what those rich people hated most was having their secrets exposed, so in that case, he would just pretend he didn't know.

"Ah Qin, is this true?" Qin Da took out the silver he had just given him and the man who was asking the question immediately took it and put it in his mouth to bite it!

"It's true!" The villagers who were biting the silver had shining eyes, and then said to Xu Ning's family: "They are all good people!"

Xu Ning almost couldn't help laughing. He was the one who said that the Xu family were not good people, and he was also the one who said they were good people.

In this person's eyes, those who give money are good people.

Xu Ning shook her head. Old Mrs. Xu looked at her in confusion. Xu Ning waved her hand and whispered to Old Mrs. Xu what she had heard. After hearing it, Old Mrs. Xu burst out laughing.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, Daya said the people here are very cute."

Xu Da scratched his head, thinking that Xu Ning definitely didn't say that. But he didn't ask in detail, after all, with so many people around, his mother would definitely not tell him.

"Auntie, we have already discussed it. We are all happy that you can live in our village. It's just that all our houses are made of mud, and we are afraid that you may not be used to it!"

"Uncle, don't you have stone houses? I see one on the cliff over there!"

"The place you are talking about was originally occupied by a foreigner, who picked up the stones himself and put them there." The people in Xianyu Village also wanted to build a stone house, but they were all defeated by that foreigner.

"Is there anyone in the village who would build this kind of stone house?" Xu Ning had checked the encyclopedia and found that this kind of stone house was the most suitable for living by the sea.

The seaside is prone to wind and rain, and mud houses are not only easy to break down, but also cannot withstand typhoons and other bad weather.

Therefore, it was not their will that the Xianyu Village was in such a dilapidated state. Instead, the repaired mud houses were rotten after being exposed to the wind and sun and a heavy rain at the seaside.

"I know how to build a stone house." There are fishermen who want to build a stone house by themselves on weekdays, but they have problems with food and clothing. Apart from going to the sea to find food every day, they don't have much time to pick up stones to build a house.

Moreover, building a house requires more than just stones; other materials cost money.

Coupled with the occasional winds and rains at sea, they also have to set aside time to repair the house, which results in them struggling to make ends meet.

Xu Ning saw their problem at a glance, "Uncle, since you can build it, help us build a big stone house on that slope!"

The place Xu Ning pointed to was right next to the bamboo forest. Qin Da took a look and talked to the villagers for a while before replying to Xu Ning: "Young Master, that place and the bamboo forest are common places in the village. I just discussed with everyone. If you really want it, I will sell the slope to you at the price of 200 coins per mu!"

The small fishing village does not grow crops, and there are places like the earth slopes that Xu Ning pointed out everywhere, which are worthless in the eyes of fishermen.

They didn't expect that Xu Ning actually wanted to buy it. The people in Xianyu Village were so happy that they agreed without saying a word.

"Are you selling that bamboo forest too?" Xu Ning continued to strike while the iron was hot. Qin Da turned around and said something else. The villagers behind him were even more excited than Qin Da after hearing what he said. "Sell it to her! Sell it to her! Bamboo shoots are bitter and astringent. Those bamboos are useless except for making bamboo rafts. Ah Qin, sell it to her quickly!"

Finally, Old Lady Xu bargained hard and bought the bamboo forest at a price of one hundred coins per mu, and also bought another piece of land to grow yam.
