Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.
Chapter 23 Buying Land, Yu Banxia's Plans
"What is it?" Yu Hongwen's smile hadn't faded, and when his youngest daughter called him, he quickly asked.
Yu Banxia pointed to the house she was currently living in and said, "Third Brother hasn't married yet, and my nephews will grow up in the blink of an eye. Our house is not big enough to accommodate them."
"What I mean is, let's go directly to Third Grandfather tomorrow and buy a plot of land for a house, and build a big house."
"Huh? How big?" the whole family asked at the same time.
Yu Banxia did the math and said, "Let's go straight for it and build a five-courtyard house."
"That's too much, no way." Yu Hongwen waved his hand immediately.
Yu Banxia finally withdrew two fingers: "Then three times, we can't reduce it any further."
Seeing her pained expression, the family looked at each other, but ultimately couldn't bear to disappoint her, and nodded painfully as well.
This pain is a bittersweet joy, but all this money was earned by my little girl.
After dinner, Yu Banxia asked her brother-in-law how much it would cost to build a three-courtyard house.
The brother-in-law replied that it was about one hundred taels, so she had enough money on hand, and there would be more money later.
After the family finished eating and chatting, they went back to their rooms with happy smiles on their faces.
"Honey, I can hardly believe it! Our Tiger can really go to school!" Wu Zhuxiang said excitedly, holding her husband's arm.
Yu Mangui chuckled and replied, "Yes, I knew our little sister was a lucky charm, wasn't I?"
"Although she was confused for two years, she has now had a miraculous encounter, and our family will definitely get better and better in the future."
"But I never expected that my sister-in-law would think of opening a restaurant for me. I must learn from her."
Hearing his wife's excited words, Yu Mangui knew that she had worked hard all these years.
His tone towards Wu Zhuxiang became increasingly gentle: "Don't worry, our family will definitely get better and better, my wife. If you're too excited to sleep, let's do something that will help you fall asleep."
Wu Zhuxiang let out a soft cry of surprise, and then Yu Mangui kissed her on the lips.
……
Without further ado, the next day after breakfast, Yu Banxia and Yu Hongwen went to find the village chief, Third Grandfather.
They drew a line on the vacant homestead, which stunned the village chief. He had thought they were going to add two rooms to their house for the third son and Hu Zi to use.
Unexpectedly, they directly carved out one-third of the open space at the foot of the mountain.
"Such a large piece of land is not cheap. It will cost at least forty taels of silver, and you will also need to go to the household registration office to register and process the land deed, which will cost another tael of silver."
The village chief pointed to the marked area on the map and explained it to Yu Hongwen.
"Third Uncle, we know." Yu Hongwen nodded with a smile.
He then added, "Although this is a residential plot, it's close to the foot of the mountain, so it won't all be used to build houses. We'll need to build a wall around it."
"Xiaxia can grow some medicinal herbs there. Uncle San should know that she's learning medicine from Brother Zhao, right?"
“Brother Zhao has no wife or children, and my Xiaxia is his last disciple. She will definitely take care of Brother Zhao in his old age, and he will also have a share in this house.”
"Yes, Xiaxia is indeed a filial child."
The village chief nodded, thinking that the house was probably supported by Doctor Zhao, so he didn't say anything more.
"Then I'll go with you to town later to get the land deed done." The village chief readily agreed, so Yu Hongwen didn't say anything more.
Yu Banxia directly asked her eldest brother to charter Sixth Grandfather's oxcart, and then took Hu Zi and Wu Zhuxiang to Yunshan Town again.
The land title process wasn't too busy; it only took half an incense stick's time to obtain the title.
"This is the money for processing, and this is the money for the land." Yu Hongwen handed over the money, received the land deed, and that was the end of it.
"Third Grandfather, we still have some things to take care of. You and Sixth Grandfather have worked hard. This is for tea money." With that, Yu Banxia slipped a tael of silver to the village chief.
The village chief glared at him: "What? This is what I should do anyway, and we're from the same clan, why are you being so polite?"
"And where did your family get rich? You just throw away an ounce or two. You're about to build a house, take it back with you."
Yu Banxia still gave the silver to the village chief, and before the village chief could get angry, she said first, "Third Grandfather, consider this money as a bribe for you."
"After I develop a new soy sauce, I want to lead everyone to work together and set up a soy sauce workshop. When we have profits, we will share the profits with those who are willing to invest."
"You are the village chief, and we will need you to take charge of the overall situation in the future. Consider this my way of showing my filial piety to you in advance."
The village chief immediately became interested and asked as he walked, "What kind of soy sauce?"
"I saw it in an ancient book that my master gave me, but I haven't started studying it yet. I'll make further plans after I figure it out."
Yu Banxia said shyly.
The village chief, however, became excited: "You little rascal, you're doing the village a favor!"
"Third Grandfather doesn't doubt that I'm talking nonsense?" Yu Banxia was also a little stunned. Why were these two people so supportive and trusting of what she said?
The village chief laughed heartily: "Hongwen, didn't you tell this girl?"
“No.” Yu Hongwen shook his head with a smile, which made Yu Banxia even more curious.
“Actually, before you were born, more than one Taoist priest and high monk pointed to your mother’s belly and said that the baby in your mother’s womb was a lucky star that would bring great fortune to the Yu family and our village in the future.”
"And here it is, it has come true."
Yu Banxia searched for a long time but couldn't find anything about it. Looking at the two people, neither of them seemed to be lying to her.
Upon reflection, it seems that the elders and peers in the village have all been quite kind to her.
Even Yu Meihua, who would always make sarcastic remarks whenever she saw her, always looked at her with an envious expression.
So there was this part too?
Although they all wanted to gain good fortune from her to some extent, that's just how people are, and she didn't get angry about it.
The whole village is harmonious and happy, working together towards a common goal, without scheming or plotting against each other. Isn't that great?
"Alright, once I figure it out, there are still many things I can do. I will definitely make our village the richest village in all of Southern Jin!" Yu Banxia said with great ambition, raising her hand high.
People around her stopped and turned to look at her.
Even with Yu Banxia's thick skin, she felt embarrassed. It made her seem like she was bragging, which was so awkward.
"Hahaha..." The unscrupulous family members behind him laughed without any restraint.
Yu Banxia felt even more embarrassed and ran even faster.
When they found Sixth Grandfather, the smiles on the faces of the others had not yet faded.
"Then let's go back first, Sixth Brother," the village chief said to Sixth Grandfather in a very good mood.
Sixth child?
Phew...
Yu Banxia couldn't help but laugh, while Yu Bingsheng was completely bewildered. What was going on? Why were they all laughing?
"Is Hongwen's matter settled? Aren't you going back together?"
