Chapter 170 Buying Land and Building a Village
It is said that mother and daughter are connected by heart. This is Ning'er saying that the He family is very important to her, at least their status is the same as her and her husband.
She agreed with this point very much.
The He family saved the three-and-a-half-year-old girl. Fortunately, they were kind-hearted people and did not even touch Ning Bao's jewelry. She was naturally grateful that such good people protected her little sweetheart.
Holding Mrs. He's hand, she whispered softly, "Thank you, Sister He. From now on, you will be Ning Bao's mother. Let's love her well together."
The lights in the house had been turned off long ago. Mrs. He felt the delicate warmth in her hands, and tears flowed unconsciously. She held back her sobs and said, "Okay, I really can't bear to part with Ning'er, so I shamelessly agreed."
That night, many people outside the yard were so excited that they couldn't sleep, but the woman in the He family's yard slept very soundly.
The sky was slightly brighter, and the villagers opened the gate and wanted to go to the fields to take a look. When they walked outside the He family, they were shocked to see so many people.
"Oh my god, is this someone from the capital? It's just..."
"That's a little too few people. The storyteller in town said that anyone who goes out to deliver an imperial edict must have a ceremonial guard."
"These things in front of me... don't look like them."
Old Man He, who was worried about whether there was enough food at home, came out of the tent early. When he saw the villagers, he smiled and greeted them, "Are you going to the fields?
"Yes, yes, the seeds have been planted. I feel at ease when I go to check on them every day."
"Why is Uncle He sleeping outside? Is there no room at home?"
"Who are these people? Were they sent by that person? He lowered his voice and pointed to the sky cautiously.
Old Man He understood what they meant, so he smiled and said, "No, he is a relative of Master Xi's family. Because there are women in the family, the old man sleeps outside."
The Xia family members all practiced martial arts and were very sensitive to noises. They raised their eyebrows slightly when they heard the voices outside, thinking that the father of the He family was too low-key and did not mention the tenth sister's family at all.
After thinking about it, the Left Prime Minister stood up first and strode out of the tent. In the eyes of everyone in Xiaotian Village, he was very imposing and intimidating without even getting angry. Just one glance at him was enough to make people tremble with fear.
Everyone said they didn't understand the reason. If they had read a few books, they would definitely know that this was the aura of a superior.
"Hello, sir. Did the big guys wake you up?"
As he spoke, his expression was very embarrassed. He was very scared when he saw the left prime minister, worried that the other party would get angry and take their lives.
With just one glance, Prime Minister Zuo saw through their thoughts and felt that the villagers in front of him were so easy to understand.
His aura changed, with a kind smile on his face, and he spoke modestly and politely, "No, I just need to rest and get some fresh air."
"Your Xiaotian Village is really beautiful. It is backed by mountains and has plenty of oxygen, which makes people feel very happy."
Although the villagers didn't understand the words "fresh air" and "oxygen", they relaxed a lot when they saw that he was easy to get along with. They smiled and said, "There are still many wild animals on Datian Mountain. It's a pity that we can't go up the mountain now, otherwise it would be more fun."
Looking at the mountain not far away, the Left Prime Minister casually said, "It won't be long. News will come in a long time." His tone was very firm.
"Ah? Is this gentleman serious about what he said?"
"Yeah, it's been several days. If I stay at home any longer, my body will get moldy and my bones will become stiff."
"Don't blame you. It's the same for everyone. The firewood is arranged over and over again. It looks neat and tidy. It has never been so diligent."
This made the others laugh heartily. When Zheng Lizheng came over, there were already a lot of people gathered outside the He family's door. He vaguely saw a man standing in the innermost group.
After the two exchanged glances, Zheng Lizheng knew what was going on. He politely bowed and said, "I am Xiaotian Village Lizheng. May I know what this gentleman's name is?"
Thinking of what he said last night, the left prime minister's eyes lit up, and he smiled and clasped his hands and said, "Your surname is Xia, so don't call me Master here. Just call me Xiao Xia."
"It just so happens that I have something to trouble the village head. I am a relative of Brother He's family, so I want to buy a piece of land and build a farm in the village so that the elders in my family can come back to live there in their old age."
"I wonder if this land can be bought? How much can I buy?"
Zheng Lizheng was surprised at first, because he didn't remember that Old Man He had any wealthy relatives. It was a good thing to buy land and build a village in the village, so he put aside his doubts.
He explained with a smile: "This residential land can be bought. You just need to measure the land and go to the county government to exchange it for a red deed. How much land do you want to buy, Mr. Xia?"
After all, he is the head of the village. He knows that others are just being polite and would not really call the Left Prime Minister "Xiao Xia".
Hearing this, the left prime minister stopped being polite and pointed to the He family's courtyard at the foot of Datian Mountain and said, "We want everything here. Zheng Lizheng can calculate how much money it will cost and let the guards pay for it."
A man stood up behind him, bowed and said, "My name is Wu Ming." After saying that, he stood there coldly and didn't say anything else.
Zheng Lizheng: “!!”
"Oh my god, this guy looks really fierce, so scary, boohoo~~~"
He swallowed, ignored the cold breath on Wu Ming and said, "Master Xia, that land takes up a lot of space. Are you sure you want to buy so much?"
The left prime minister smiled and said, "It just so happens that Brother He's house also needs to be renovated. If the homestead can be expanded, we can buy it together."
Everyone: "!!"
What, what did they just hear? Mr. Xia wants to buy a homestead for Old Man He's family!
Oh, oh, oh... They are all crying with envy and jealousy. They also want to curry favor with others. What if there are a few more lucky people in this world!
Zheng Lizheng: “!!”
In an instant, the look in everyone's eyes when looking at Old Man He was not right, and it was clearly expressing that you are so lucky, it makes people jealous.
Old Man He: “!!”
He was just immersed in the joy that the Xia family really bought land and built a village. This proved that he would be able to see Ning'er often in the future, which was the best thing for them.
Unexpectedly...
He quickly waved his hands and said anxiously, "No, no, no, no, no."
"There's enough room at home. Brother Xia, just buy the size of the toilet you need. Don't worry about the He family. Don't spend the money."
Seeing him refuse, the Left Prime Minister's face darkened and he said, "Brother He, you don't consider me as your own family, that's why you are so polite, really..."
He shook his sleeves and made a very sad look, which instantly made Old Man He panic.
He said anxiously, “No, no, even if we are a family, we can’t let you buy a homestead. You can’t spend this money.”
The crowd was no longer in a hurry to go to the fields. They just stood there and watched the two of them going back and forth, which made them very annoyed.
"Look... Comparing yourself to others makes you feel pissed off."
"This broken sky of wealth is in Old He's house, why doesn't it come to our house?"
