C70 Buy Wasteland (2/2)
Fang Ruxiu's words seemed to have some hidden meaning, but Yeats did not hear it. She nodded her head hurriedly, and everyone continued to discuss the matter of building the house.
”Then, boss, where should we buy land?” The Yeats asked: ”There are some wastelands at the head of the village and the Village End.”
Once the Yeats said this, Fang Ru's mind immediately thought of the village entrance and the appearance of the Village End. She asked: ”Daddy, did anyone buy that hill in the Village End?”
”Nope.” Fang Changfu shook his head and said: ”Our village has a lot of mountains. If you want to cut down some trees, then go ahead, so everyone wants to buy land. Who wants to buy mountains?”
After hearing this, Fang Ruxiu nodded thoughtfully, then asked, ”Then dad, if you want to buy a mountain, how much is one mu?”
”It should only be one tael of silver.” After Fang Changfu heard Fang Ruxiu's question, he said: ”Ruo Xiu, you aren't planning to buy that mountain over at the Village End, right?”
Fang Ruzhu shook her head and said, ”I don't have any plans for now, but I can buy them in the future. After all, many large family like to build their own villas on the mountains. I feel that it would be better if we built the house in Village End. The Village End is closer to the county and quieter.
”If Embroidery has a sharp mind and broad knowledge, I think we'll do as you say.” Fang Changfu nodded, then looked towards the crowd and asked: ”Qing Ning, Yi Zheng, what do you think?”
”I think it's fine. I also like to be quiet. Some of the women in the village are really tired of talking, so I'm too lazy to talk to them.” The Yeats said.
”En, I also like the Village End. No matter what we do in this way, other people would not talk so much about it. After all, I will become a hero in the future.” Fang Yizheng glanced at Fang Ruxiu, and also cast her support.
”If that's the case, then let's make a deal. I'll go find him.” Fang Changfu stood up as he said that, he looked to be in a hurry.
”What's the hurry?” Yeats stood up and shouted behind him.
”There's no rush. I'm afraid someone else will buy it later.” Fang Changfu turned around and hurriedly left the place.
Fang Ruxiu smiled and shook her head, she just sat at home and waited for news of Fang Changfu.
Fang Changfu's movements was very fast, not long later, he arrived at the long house, and discussed about buying land.
This time, Fang Changfu's luck was pretty good, it seemed like he was home. After hearing that Fang Changfu wanted to buy the Village End's wasteland, he was happy for a long time, but there was no one who would buy the wasteland here, and if he were to sell it, it would count as his contribution. So after confirming that Fang Changfu wanted to buy the wasteland, he immediately brought along a group of tools, a ruler, and other tools and headed towards the Village End.
The old house of the Fang Family was originally close to the Village End. When Fang Changfu passed by the house, he specially called his family to come take a look, this way, everyone could take a look and discuss the purchase of the land.
She had already seen the wasteland of Village End for a long time, so she had a rough idea about it. However, the Captain wasn't as knowledgeable about the situation of the Village End as Fang Ruxiu, because he lived at the head of the village and had many things to do. He didn't expect to see the Village End again after a few days, even though he hadn't seen it for a while, the Village End's grass was already so tall.
Originally, when he was at home, he had told Fang Changfu that it would be two to five silver per mu. However, when he saw the grass that was swaying all over the place, he felt a little embarrassed. When he saw the shocked expression on Fang Rumian and her family, he immediately reduced the price to two taels of silver per mu.
Originally, he was related to the Fang family by blood relatives and even had dealings with Fang Weicheng. He thought that Fang Changfu just wanted to buy an acre and a half, so five taels of silver was not a big deal.
If it was two taels of silver, one hundred taels of silver would be enough to buy fifty mu of land. However, she did not need to buy that many mu of land, she could just buy thirty mu of land and use the rest to build houses and walls.
So she walked to Fang Changfu's side without batting an eyelid and pulled his sleeves.
Fang Changfu looked at her, then asked: ”Ru Xiu, how many acres do you think is better for us to buy?”
”Buy this land.” Fang Ru Xiu said to Fang Changfu.
Although her voice wasn't loud, the middle-aged woman still heard it. She said, ”Eldest niece, this plot of land contains seven to eight mu of land.”
”Such a large piece of land is only 7 to 8 mu?” Fang Ru Xiu said in surprise. To be honest, she had never cultivated in the fields before. Although she knew about mu as a unit of measurement, she had never seen one in her life, so from the beginning she thought that there were at least ten mu of land here.
