In fact, there was no need for Hu Changgeng to come in person for this matter, but he came anyway, which shows that he attached great importance to it and even the head of the village did not dare to slack off.

The head of the village and Grandma Xiao no longer had any other thoughts, and they didn't even dare to think about why Yuan Junyao dared to divorce and why she had so much money. After all, she really had the ability to start her own business.

With fifty taels of silver, thirty taels would be enough to build a very beautiful wooden house. She also had three acres of good farmland, which was enough to support herself. Even many families in the village might not have as much assets as her.

The village head said, "Sir, there are homesteads and fertile fields. Let me take you to see them!"

Before Hu Changgeng could say anything, Uncle Hu spoke up.

"Look, go check it out now." He turned his head and glared at his son unhappily, "You only have this one sister. You should pay more attention to her and ask more questions to prevent her from being bullied."

There was sarcasm, favoritism and warnings in his words. Yuan Shisheng and Qi Meixiang's faces turned pale and blue, even though they were Yuan Junyao's parents.

At this time, they had many questions and speculations in their minds, but because the county magistrate was there, they could not and dared not say them.

The village head had already thought of which piece of land and which acres of farmland to give to Yuan Junyao.

First, there is the residential land. There is also a piece of vacant land at the east end of the village where a house can be built.

Hu Changgeng and Uncle Hu were both very satisfied. Yuan Shisheng and Qi Meixiang had nothing to say either. This piece of land was indeed a good choice for building a house.

But Yuan Junyao didn't like it, she wanted to stay away from the village.

Because if it is to be built on this land, the house will have to be side by side with the first row of houses in the village, and the type cannot be too different.

You can't build a house higher than others, otherwise it will be like you are deliberately suppressing others. If you can suppress others, it will be good for you. If you can't suppress them, you will suffer backlash.

No matter how arrogant or disrespectful Yuan Qinghai was, he would never do such a thing. His two-story blue brick and tile house was built alone at the back of the village.

It was some distance away from the village, but not completely separated from it. He even used his own money to build a road out of the village, which surrounded half of the village.

Many people have taken a fancy to this piece of land, but this land does not belong to a private individual but to the state. To build a house on it, one needs approval from the government office and a certain amount of money to be paid.

Now the government is going to award residential land, so this can definitely be given to Yuan Junyao.

The village head asked Hu Changgeng, "Sir, what do you think of this place?"

Hu Changgeng looked at Yuan Junyao, "What do you think?"

Yuan Junyao shook her head and said, "I want to be farther away from the village because the house I want to build is different from the houses in the village, so this land is not suitable."

Hu Changgeng once again set his eyes on Yuan Lizheng.

The village head thought about it and took Yuan Junyao in another direction.

"Then let's go to the other side and see if it's appropriate."

That road was built by Yuan Qinghai. It circled half of the village from his doorstep. Many people who built houses later had to build on the other side of the road.

There are seven or eight houses built on the other side of the road, which makes it look like another village.

"Jun Yao, what do you think of this place?"

There is open space on the other side of this road, which is suitable for building houses.

But Yuan Junyao was still not satisfied, because the houses in this village were built in a regular pattern, in rows, just like these seven families, all built along the road.

She could have built the house a little further away, but it would still have an impact on others. Also, it was too close to the village, so it would not be suitable for others to build houses there in the future.

Everyone is waiting for her final decision.

This is just her. If it were someone else, the government would just issue an order for rewards and the village head would just make the decision. She would not have the right to speak.

Before Hu Changgeng and the village head could say anything, Yuan Shisheng, already displeased with her picky nature, immediately chided her, "What's wrong with you? These are the best plots of land in the village for building a house, and yet you're being so picky."

Yuan Junyao glared at him coldly, "I'm building a house, and I'm choosing the land. What does it have to do with you?"

Yuan Shisheng's face darkened, and now he really couldn't stand his daughter no matter how he looked at her.

Yuan Junyao ignored him, walked forward a few steps, and began to look around, trying to find a suitable place to build a house without disturbing others.

Uncle Hu looked at Yuan Shisheng several times and guessed that he was Yuan Junyao's father. His face immediately turned ugly.

In his opinion, this kind of person is simply unworthy of being a father. His daughter was bullied to the point of hanging herself, but he still didn't protect his daughter.

If he had such a good girl, no matter how much she was treasured, she would never be enough for him.

Seeing that Yuan Junyao was not satisfied with either of these, the village head asked gently, "Junyao, don't you like these two plots of land? Then tell me, where do you want to build your house?"

His attitude when talking to Yuan Junyao was no longer the same as before.

Yuan Junyao said, "It's not that I dislike these two places. I'm just considering others because the house I want to build is different from others."

As soon as she said this, everyone immediately thought of Yuan Qinghai.

The place where Yuan Qinghai built his house was previously a fertile farmland. Because the house he built was different from everyone else's, he opened up another place.

To be honest, his house is two stories high and is made of blue bricks and tiles, so no one wants to be his neighbor.

Not only will I be outshined by him, but I will also be compared to him like a piece of shit.

But Yuan Qinghai is Yuan Qinghai. Does Yuan Junyao want to imitate Yuan Qinghai?

But she only had fifty taels of silver. Yuan Qinghai's house was built many years ago and it was said that it cost more than three hundred taels. Adding the decoration and furniture in the house, it cost a full thousand taels.

The fifty taels Yuan Junyao had were at best enough to build a mud-brick house similar to theirs.

If she wants something better, she could use half blue bricks and half adobe. If she wants to build a house like Yuan Qinghai, it will definitely not be enough. Not even one layer will be enough.

Although they thought so, they didn't dare say it out loud. After all, Yuan Junyao was now clinging to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate might give her money to build a house.

As a result, everyone couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between Yuan Junyao and the county magistrate's family was.

Although she is a goddaughter, she is not her biological child after all. She has her own sons and daughters, so why should he treat her so well?

The village head observed Hu Changgeng's expression out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that he had no reaction, he could only ask Yuan Junyao.

"Then take a look at what you like?"

He finally realized that Yuan Junyao must be satisfied today.

Yuan Junyao looked into the distance, constantly recalling the surrounding environment in her mind. Finally, her gaze fixed in one direction.

It is about six or seven hundred meters away from the village, at the foot of the mountain. The mountain naturally forms a depression, which contains a small open space. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, giving people a full sense of security.

The mountain near Yuanjia Village is flat, and there are high mountains behind the small hills, so there is no need to worry about landslides. Moreover, the geology of this mountain is relatively hard and there is not much mud and sand.

The place is isolated from the world, but not too far from the village, which is very suitable.
