Chapter 284 It’s a chore

Yulian covered her head and stared at Zong Bai, "Second brother! You hit me on the head again. How could the eldest brother hate me? My eldest brother and sister-in-law like me the most now!"

"You, on the other hand, made an excuse to come down to help, but ended up playing here without doing anything. Let the elder brother know that you are lazy in studying, and see if he talks about you later!"

Zong Bai made a face at her, "Brother won't talk about me. You are the noisiest sister in the world, and you are still the follower of your eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Zong Yulian shouted angrily, "You are still talking about me, and you are the same! All day long, you are either following your eldest brother around or approaching your sister-in-law and asking her what she is eating today."

"You, you can still eat to death!"

Zong Bai was not shy when it came to talking about this, he even put his hands on his hips proudly.

"Hey, sister-in-law, you can tell me, now is the time for me to grow taller. I just need to eat more so that I will be taller and have a great body in the future."

Yulian glanced at her brother with disgust, "You are already as tall as a pillar. If you are taller, you won't be a weirdo."

"Stop giving you excuses for being greedy."

Zong Bai pretended to glare at his sister fiercely, "Hey, you little girl, you are getting more and more courageous now. Who told you to talk to your brother like this?"

"I think you owe some repairs."

The brother and sister started to fight, and Zong Yulian ran away with a smile.

At the same time, Fang Jinxiu invited Village Chief Wang back to his home and brought him a bowl of water.

"In today's weather, it's so happy to have a bowl of clean and cool water." Village Chief Wang has been busy outside for a long time, and he is indeed thirsty.

After saying that, he picked up the water and drank it all in one breath, sighing after drinking it.

"Why does your water feel so much cleaner and better than ours? When you sip it carefully, it still has a sweet taste."

Fang Jinxiu smiled and said, "No, they were all beaten from the mountain."

Since the canals in the village started to be dug again, every household would fetch water from the water source on the mountain and bring it back. No matter how tired they were, they had to bring a bucket of clean water back for the whole family to drink.

It was Fang Jinxiu who reminded Village Chief Wang that the yellow mud water in the village's ditch was too dirty and he would get sick if he drank too much.

Now everyone no longer drinks yellow mud water.When Village Chief Wang heard what she said, he felt something was wrong, but he didn't pay much attention.

Fang Jinxiu didn't plan to tell anyone about the mountain stream and pool. Now that the village had solved the water crisis, she didn't have to be such a holy mother and share whatever good things she got.

After drinking the water, the village chief began to sigh worriedly again.

"This old man from Zong is so arrogant just because he has some food in his hand. As far as the conditions he put forward, I thought he was daydreaming before."

"But right now." Village Chief Wang shook his head helplessly.

If the problem of lack of grain cannot be solved, in the end he may really have to give up ten acres of land in exchange for him.

Fang Jinxiu asked, "Uncle Wang, what is the normal price per acre of wasteland in the village?"

Village Chief Wang replied, "The land in the village belongs to the government, and naturally the price is set by the government."

"Barren land costs one tael of silver per acre, high-quality farmland costs three taels, and second-class land depends on the situation. It should be between one and a half to two taels."

"The homesteads in the village are worth more than [-] yuan. My Tie Zhu is right. This old man from the clan is simply taking advantage of the fire."

After listening to Village Chief Wang's words, Fang Jinxiu thought for a moment.

"Are you saying that if someone pays to buy land, the money will still be handed over to the government in the end, and the village won't get any advantage, right?"

Village Chief Wang nodded, "This is true under normal circumstances, but many villages will charge some money for running around."

Fang Jinxiu frowned, but she still didn't understand one thing.

"But it seems to me that you intend to agree to Old Man Zong's conditions. Since two hundred coins can't buy wasteland, why don't you reject him outright?"

Village Chief Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Old man Zong is right about one thing. In today's world, land is the least valuable, and the government is not static."

"It just requires me to run back and forth for him and keep talking to the government officials. In the end, there is a high probability that I can get the price of [-] yuan, but."

Village Chief Wang shook his head, "It's a hard job, and you may offend the officials. Next time you want to do something for the village, you will be resented and embarrassed."
