Chapter 224 Buying Land with My Sisters

Yang Mingxi watched her elder sister's actions and quickly said, "Sister, let me do it! Steam some rice and eat the dishes directly from the pot! It's convenient and quick, I can do it alone. You stay by my side and talk to me. I'm going to tell you something."

After hearing this, Yang Mingyun waved his hand and said, "No need for you, I can do it myself, just help me light the fire!"

Yang Minghu walked in and said, "I'll light the fire, you guys can work together!"

Yang Mingxi stared quietly at her elder sister's firm and persistent expression, her lips moved slightly, but in the end she chose to remain silent and did not say another word.

Afterwards, the three siblings walked into the kitchen and began busily preparing the meal. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of cooking, and the sound of pots and pans clattering against each other was like a warm and harmonious family symphony.

When the meal was almost ready, Yang Mingxi pulled Yang Mingyun to sit down, and the three siblings sat together, eating and chatting happily while watching the fire.

At this moment, Yang Mingxi was the first to reveal a bright smile, and softly said to her elder sister, "Sister, there's actually something I've been wanting to discuss with you. It's about that wasteland behind your house. We're thinking of buying it. However, we wanted to see what you think first. If you want to buy it, you can buy it first, and we'll buy the rest later. That's why we came to your house to take a look. What do you think?"

Yang Mingyun was slightly taken aback when she heard this, thinking to herself: Buying land? That's not a small sum! How could my family afford so much money to buy land right now? However, she was too embarrassed to complain directly to her brother and sister, so she forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Okay, if you want to buy it, then buy it. Buying land is indeed a good idea! As for our family, the most urgent thing right now is to buy this house we live in now."

Hearing this, Yang Mingxi subconsciously turned her head and looked outside the house. Then she suddenly remembered that the house her elder sister and the others were living in was actually borrowed from the village!

Fortunately, the house was quite spacious and could barely meet the family's basic living needs. Thinking of this, Yang Mingxi sighed softly, silently thinking about how to help her eldest sister realize her wish of owning her own house as soon as possible.

Yang Mingxi thought for a moment and said, "Sister, how much money does your house cost? How much land is there? Is the surrounding grass included or not?"

Yang Mingyun thought for a moment and said, "Your brother-in-law has been negotiating with the village chief to buy this house these days. Since it's an old house, he doesn't need to pay for it, just the foundation. This courtyard uses a five-acre residential plot, which costs 25 taels of silver. Our current money is barely enough to buy the foundation for this house."

Yang Mingxi listened quietly, pondered for a moment, then raised her head, looked at her elder sister with a firm gaze and said, "Eldest sister, if one day you have enough money, how much land would you like to buy? As for other things, you don't need to worry about it."

When Yang Mingyun heard his third sister ask this, he couldn't help but smile. With a glint of longing in his eyes, he replied, "Of course, the more the better! But I'm not the kind of person who is insatiable. About thirty acres will be enough. But why did you suddenly ask this, third sister?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingxi smiled broadly, revealing two adorable dimples. She responded cheerfully, "Haha, big sister, I have good news for you. We now have enough funds! This mere 30 acres of land is no problem at all. I'll buy the 30 acres behind your house as your dowry! Let's buy all the vacant land in front of your house as well. I'll lend you the money temporarily. When the chickens and ducks you raise grow up, you can sell them to me directly to repay the loan. How about that? Oh, and let's buy the house you live in as well. I'll give you the remaining balance!"

After hearing what her third sister said, Yang Mingyun subconsciously looked at her eldest brother. Is this something a married woman like her can say?

Yang Minghu was also shocked when he heard what his third sister said. Thirty acres of land means thirty taels of silver, which can be directly used as a dowry. Although his family can afford this dowry now, he can't just give it to the eldest sister. What about the second sister?

Seeing Yang Mingyun looking at him, Yang Minghu smiled and said, "What Xier said is what I said. Don't have any other ideas. We have made some money with Xier, and we also want to make your life better. The same goes for Moer. We also want to buy land in their village."

Yang Mingxi stuck out her tongue, forgetting to discuss it with her eldest brother. She smiled and said, "That's right. Let's do it together later! When will my eldest brother-in-law come back? He should be back soon from the purchasing business!"

While they were talking, Yang Mingyang, Yang Mingyu, Gu Laosan, Lu Jintang, Lord Tang, Master Qin and several clerks came to the yard of Yang Mingyun's house. The village chief of Gujiaying also accompanied them.

Yang Mingxi, with a warm smile on her face, walked briskly forward and said in a gentle voice, "Ah, you're all finally here! Master Tang, Master Qin, and all the other masters must have come all this way! Come, come, have a quick meal with us!"

Tang Jiahang also smiled and responded gently, "Miss Yang, you're so polite! We just finished our meal, so let's get down to business first. We need to hurry and survey the homestead, then complete the household registration procedures. Then we can go survey the wasteland."

Lu Jintang, who was standing aside, nodded repeatedly to show his agreement: "That's right, that's the truth. Axi, elder sister, elder brother, second brother, third brother, the rest of you should go and have dinner. I, your brother-in-law, am here. Just leave it to us!" As soon as he finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to join others in measuring the foundation.

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi quickly added: "After measuring the foundation, please measure the wasteland in front as well. As for the cost, I will advance the money for my eldest sister. In addition, mark out 30 acres behind the house and register it in my eldest sister's name. It is her dowry from our Yang family. The rest will all be counted as our own family." After she finished speaking, she smiled at everyone, indicating that they could start working.

When Village Chief Gu was invited here just now, he felt that the Gu Laosan family was about to rise. Now, after hearing the greetings from several people, he was afraid that the Gu Laosan family would not be able to stay in Gujia Village in the future. Gu Laoba, this fool, will regret it in the future! While thinking about this, he hurriedly and enthusiastically followed to measure the homestead.
