Farming and reading family

Chapter 596 Chen Qing Sends Land

I've actually already got my eyes on one.

However, Gao E didn't understand which piece of land at an angle was it. After listening to Xiao Chuyun's description, she realized that it was the land belonging to her eldest brother.

"Okay, I understand." Gao E nodded.

"When can I buy it?" Xiao Chuyun said impatiently, "If it's quick, I can plant the plants I just brought back in the ground."

"Soon." Gao E promised.

Since it is my eldest brother's land, it's easy, whether we buy it or exchange it is fine.

Gao E thought about it and decided not to avoid her sister-in-law. This kind of thing could not be kept secret for long, and when she found out, she would have a grudge against her.

In the evening, Gao E took Lianxin and two pieces of cloth to her eldest brother's house.

It was Guo who opened the door, and she was very respectful when she saw it was Gao E.

"My second brother's wife is here, so what else did she bring?" Yang saw Lianxin holding two pieces of cloth in the main hall.

She was planning to make some small clothes for her unborn baby. Although her family was better off now, it still hurt to buy two pieces of good new cloth.

"I'm too busy on weekdays and seldom come to see my sister-in-law. Please keep these two pieces of cloth to make some new clothes for the children." Gao E said with a smile.

Yang saw that it was fine cotton cloth and was extremely curious: "This can only be bought in Qinzhou City. When did my second brother's wife buy it?"

"This was sent by Jin Ruyi." Gao E made up a random excuse. She couldn't say that she had bought it a long time ago and was sending it to you now because she had something to ask you.

"Why haven't I seen Master Jin recently? All the girls' schools in the village have been closed." Yang was quite happy.

"I'm busy with other things." Gao E didn't explain much.

At the beginning, everyone knew that Jin Ruyi was Gao E's servant, but later on, people couldn't understand the relationship between the two, and even felt that Gao E sometimes looked down on Jin Ruyi.

Therefore, the people of Baotou Village did not dare to neglect Jin Ruyi at all.

"I'm not saying anything bad about my second sister-in-law, but you're just too easy to talk to. That Master Jin used to be a servant in your family, and now you're raising her son, but she's running around everywhere." Yang reminded Gao E.

Gao E smiled and said, "She is also doing things for me."

"Then you have to be careful about your second brother's wife. When people are away from home for a long time, their hearts will become wild." Yang looked like she was doing this for your own good.

"Why don't I see my eldest brother?" Gao E wanted to finish talking about the land and leave quickly, otherwise the chat would never end.

"Your elder brother is reading in the side room." Yang said with a bit of pride, thinking that if her husband could also pass the imperial examination, she would be a scholar's wife like Gao E. "Is there something you want to talk to your elder brother about?"

"I want to plant some seedlings. The piece of land at the upper corner of the village is more suitable. I want to discuss with my eldest brother to see whether he can sell it to me or trade it with me." Gao E said directly.

Upon hearing this, Yang sat up a little straighter. "Although that piece of land isn't good, your eldest brother put a lot of effort into it, and now it's all planted..."

Gao E heard that Yang was planning to raise the price: "If you want to exchange it, I will exchange it with good farmland, and I will buy it at the price of good farmland. I will also pay for the estimated harvest of the crops I plant."

Yang didn't expect Gao'e to be so generous: "That's not what I meant. You should know that we farmers rely on that little piece of land, which is very precious."

Lianxin on the side rolled her eyes when she heard this.

It either means this or it means wanting more.

Gao E saw Yang's aggressive attitude and said, "Lianxin, go to the wing room and invite my eldest brother over."

"You can't disturb your elder brother from reading." Yang said hurriedly.

She knew that Chen Qing was easy to talk to, and Chen Qing might give the land to Gao E as soon as Gao E asked him to. After all, it was Gao E who was in charge of purchasing the land.

The piece of land at the upper corner of the village is not a good piece of land either.

"I bought the book that big brother is reading." Gao E said with a smile.

Yang's old face turned red with embarrassment.

Lian Xin had already walked outside the wing room: "Master, my wife wants to see you."

Chen Qing was so engrossed in reciting his lessons that he came back to his senses when Lianxin called him. He opened the door and walked out.

Yang stood up when she saw Chen Qing coming out: "My second brother's wife has taken a fancy to our land. I came to tell you about it."

What she said was useless to Gao E.

Gao E wanted to laugh. If Yang's little trick had worked, things wouldn't be like this now.

Chen Qing had already walked to the main hall door when he heard Yang say this: "Which piece does my second brother-in-law want?"

"I have talked to my eldest sister-in-law about the piece of land at the upper corner of the village. My eldest brother wants to sell it to me and buy it at the price of good farmland. He wants to exchange me for good farmland." Gao E said directly.

"Change it." Yang was really worried that Chen Qing would give it away for nothing.

Gao E's land has also been planted, and it is grown very well, so there is no loss in any way of exchanging it.

"That piece of land didn't cost much money, and it's not suitable for growing crops. If my second sister-in-law needs it, I'll give it to her." Chen Qing ignored Yang's suggestion.

Yang looked reluctant and unconsciously patted the cloth on the table.

Chen Qing glanced at Yang and said, "Go get the land deed."

Yang was reluctant, but still took the two pieces of cloth to the inner room to get the land deed.

"How can I take your land for nothing?" Gao E said hurriedly, "It's better to change it."

Chen Qing waved his hand: "The money spent on our children's education each year is more than that amount. If you don't accept it, I, as the eldest brother, will feel a little guilty."

Gao E didn't want to calculate it so clearly. After all, being the eldest brother also requires face: "Thank you very much, brother."

Yang Rou took out the land deed after a long time of persuasion. When she handed it to Chen Qing, she pinched a corner of it and almost tore it to pieces.

Gao E ignored Yang's little gesture. What she wanted was the land deed, not Yang's emotions.

Chen Qing took the land deed and handed it to Gao E: "I will not be responsible for the crops grown on the land. You can deal with them."

"Okay." Gao E accepted the deed. "Then I won't bother my brother and sister-in-law anymore." She said as she stood up and left.

Chen Qing sent them to the gate and closed the door before returning.

When Yang saw Chen Qing coming back, she couldn't hold back and said, "Did the wind blow our land away? You put so much effort into repairing it, and now you're giving it away."

Chen Qing looked at Yang's angry expression and said, "It's only natural for you to accept your second brother's wife's things."

Yang paused, her tone noticeably weaker: "Isn't it just two pieces of cloth?"

"Those two pieces of cloth are more valuable than that piece of land." Chen Qing said unhappily.

"That's too expensive..." Yang was dissatisfied.

The next day, Gao E went to find Xiao Chuyun and told him that the land was hers and asked Xiao Chuyun to clean it up himself.

"Can you give me some temporary work? I need to go and erect the fence." Xiao Chuyun rubbed his hands.

In the past, it was extremely difficult for me to do something. Now, as long as I tell my boss what I want, he will get it for me. Even though I am doing it for my boss, I am very happy.

"Looking for He Jiabei." Gao E glanced at He Jiabei, who was sitting in the yard playing chess with Bai Hao. "Just keep track of the working hours for the villagers."

"Okay!" He Jiabei raised his hand and responded, his eyes still fixed on the chessboard.

Bai Hao is a good chess player, but he and He Jiabei played like two noobs fighting each other. This guy doesn't seem to know how to play chess, but he is as difficult to deal with as a troublemaker.
