Female-to-male: I live on farming

"Village chief, are you home?" Qin Ke knocked on the door of the village chief's house with one hand holding the bacon.

Lu Youqing stuffed the bacon into his hands before he left, and also reminded him to be more polite when speaking. In the village, the village chief is the most powerful person, and if you have a good relationship with him, it will be much easier to do things in the future.

Qin Ke met the village chief during the last fight and had a good impression of him.

The village chief's surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Cong'an. He is over 40 years old this year. In the backward ancient times when the average life expectancy was less than 40, he was considered to be very old. He also acted prudently and impartially, and was highly respected in the village.

Anyway, after Qin Ke grew up, he had the impression that he was already the village chief.

"It's Qin Ke. What are you doing here?" The person who opened the door was a pretty girl, but the girl's face didn't look very good when she saw Qin Ke.

"Is the village chief at home? I have something to discuss with him." Qin Ke recognized her as the village chief's youngest daughter and didn't care about her cold face.

The little girl frowned. She knew all the bad things Qin Ke had done in the past and didn't want to let him in. But at this moment, the village chief heard the noise and said, "Who is it? Let him in."

She could only reluctantly open the door and step aside to let the other person in.

"Aunt, we don't have anything else at home. It's just a small gift. Please accept it." It is said that one should not hit a smiling person. Qin Ke was very polite as soon as he entered the door. Even Aunt Wu, who did not welcome his arrival in her heart, could only force a smile.

"How can this be? You're having a hard time, too. Take it back." She looked down at the bacon Qin Ke handed over and pushed it back.

You have to know that productivity was low in ancient times and every family was not well off. Generally, people would only eat meat during festivals. The bacon that Qin Ke brought was already a generous gift.

Seeing that she refused to take it, Qin Ke had to change his target and put it into the little girl's hand.

How could the little girl handle such a situation? She awkwardly held the bacon and looked at her parents for help.

"Then accept it, Qin Ke, and come with me into the house." Finally, the village chief glanced at Qin Ke, turned around and went into the house first.

"I heard that you won a lot of money yesterday and bought a lot of things to take home. Looking at you, since you have the signs of living a good life, then you should calm down and live a good life. Don't gamble anymore. You were lucky this time, but what about next time?" The village chief first sighed, and then advised earnestly.

It turns out that secrets cannot be kept in the village. Today, everyone in the village knows what happened yesterday evening.

"Don't worry, village chief. My wife has also told me that I won't gamble again." Although Qin Ke didn't do what happened before, it was him who took over his body. Only he could clean up this mess.

The village chief squinted his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds. Seeing that he was sincere and didn't seem to be pretending, he smiled with relief and said, "That's good. It seems that you should get married sooner. Although your wife's background is a little unclear, it seems that you can make a living with her."

Qin Ke deliberately led them to mistakenly believe that his transformation was due to starting a family so that it would not be too abrupt.

"Actually, I came here today to ask you something. You know the house I live in now is too dilapidated. It will probably collapse after a heavy rain in the summer. I still have some extra money, so I thought I might as well build a new house."

"Indeed, your house is quite old. You have this idea, which shows that you are really more at ease. Your father in heaven would be relieved." The village chief nodded in agreement. "So what do you need help with today?"

He knew that the other party would not come to him for no reason, and he must have something to ask for.

"It's like this, village chief, I want to ask if the vacant land next to my house has an owner. If not, I want to build a house there directly."

The village chief stroked his beard and thought for a while, then agreed: "No, if you want to build a house, build it there."

After getting the promise from the village chief, Qin Ke finally felt relieved. The village was vast and sparsely populated, and there was no such thing as residential land. As long as he greeted the village chief, no one else would say anything.

"Then, after some time, when the spring ploughing is over and the villagers have some free time, I will ask them to come and help build the house."

At that time, there was no construction team for rural people to build houses. When someone built a house, the neighbors would come to help. However, Qin Ke curled his lips secretly. He didn't think that with the popularity of his original body, the villagers would be willing to help.

However, the village chief offered to help, and Qin Ke couldn't refute it. He thought about it and said, "How about this, village chief, when the time comes, I will pay ten cents per day to everyone who comes to help build the house."

The village chief was surprised and shook his head randomly: "No need to give money, the villagers help each other when they have problems, you are too..."

Qin Ke interrupted him with a smile and advised: "Actually, it's like this. My wife and I are not good at cooking. We can't make anything delicious, and we can't ask them to help for nothing. Secondly, I was... a bit of a jerk before, so I can take this opportunity to improve my relationship with the villagers."

Of course Qin Ke was talking nonsense. He was too lazy to cook for so many people, and he was reluctant to let Lu Youqing pour tea and water for them. Anyway, they were not short of money now, so it would be easier to just give them the money.

And this way you don't have to worry about no one coming to help you.

"That's fine... I'll tell the villagers when the time comes." The village chief pondered for a while and nodded with satisfaction.

Before getting up to say goodbye, Qin Ke suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Village Chief, whose land is next to my five acres of wasteland? I don't think anyone has reclaimed it."

"Oh, over there! That's Li Danniu's family in the west of the village. Her family isn't having a good time either." The village chief shook his head helplessly.

Qin Ke thought for a long time before she remembered where Li Danniu lived. She was two years older than Qin Ke, but had never been married. The main reason was that she had a bedridden mother and the mother and daughter depended on each other for survival. Another reason was that she looked too rough and ordinary people looked down on her.

Qin Ke nodded in understanding. Given the quality of those few acres of land, even if one worked hard to cultivate it, the annual output might not even be enough to pay the tax. This was also the reason why the land was not small but had been left idle.

"Do you want to buy the land there?" As expected of a village chief who had served for so many years, he had a sharp eye and guessed Qin Ke's intention based on just one sentence.

"I have this idea."

"If that's the case, we can help her family. I heard her mother fell ill again a few days ago."
