Chapter 424

The Yachai followed Zong Yu on the mountain tops of the wild mountains for three days. When he came back, he was visibly haggard.

Zong Yu has lived in the mountains all year round and has become very familiar with the environment. He could live in the mountains for ten days and a half without becoming so haggard.

As soon as the official came back, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.

In the past three days, I measured the area of ​​the mountain and met several ferocious beasts in the mountain. As soon as Zong Yu saw the ferocious beasts, he left him alone. He could only squat in fear and wait.

After an hour, you can see him coming back carrying the dead beast. The Yamen swallowed his saliva in fear. The man next to him was more terrifying than the beast.

He just wanted to finish his work and leave.

The moment he returned to the Zong family, the Yamen could not wait to write a deed for the sale of the barren mountain and fill in the specific area.

Then calculated the price.

"Ms. Zong, the top of this wild mountain has a total of [-] acres. Please sign and pledge this deed at the price that the county magistrate has set before."

Fang Jinxiu nodded. The thin piece of paper in front of her was her first inheritance in this world.

I was still a little excited. I spent a lot of thought and time in order to buy this hilltop. Fortunately, I finally got it.

After signing, she took out 350 taels of silver and handed it over to the Yamen servant. Then she stuffed a purse into his hand alone, which contained a fortune of [-] taels of silver.

The officer was just stunned for a moment, then pretended that nothing happened and stuffed his purse into his sleeve.

After collecting my wallet, I felt much better and had a smile on my face.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zong, we will do our best in your affairs from now on!"

Although so much money was spent at once, no one in the family felt distressed. Mu and the others were even more excited than Fang Jinxiu.

After the official left, Village Chief Wang also came. He had been paying attention to such a big event.

"Jinxiu, what happened on the mountain top is done?"

Fang Jinxiu nodded, "It's done."

The deed was made in two copies, one for her, and the other was taken by the Yamen to the government for filing.

Village Chief Wang nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay, great! The village is in difficulty right now."

"Last time you said you would distribute food seeds to everyone once the Barren Mountain issue is resolved. When was that?"

If he didn't mention Fang Jinxiu, he would have really forgotten about this.Xiaoyue silently noted down that Sister Jinxiu is getting busier and busier now. She will have to write down everything she promised to others in the future so that she can remind her master in time.

"You can do it at any time, I've prepared the seeds."

"Just tomorrow, Uncle Wang, organize the villagers to line up in front of your house tomorrow to receive the seeds."

Village Chief Wang was excited again when he heard this.

Fang Jinxiu glanced at Xiaoyue, and Xiaoyue took two boys to the kitchen to bring ten bags of seeds, each bag weighing about thirty kilograms.

"Uncle Wang, these five bags are seeds for staple grains, including rice and wheat seeds, and the other five bags are seeds for miscellaneous grains."

"It's up to you to decide how to distribute it and how much to distribute to each household."

"Of course, Jinxiu girl, you really saved the lives of the whole village." Village Chief Wang was very excited when he looked at the grain in the field.

In the past, he never dared to think that someone could contribute hundreds of kilograms of grain seeds to the village at once.

Although Village Chief Wang didn't say it, he remembered this great kindness in his heart.

"Uncle Wang, there is one more thing. Our family is planning to build a new house. We plan to open up wasteland and build a house at the same time. I want to complete at least one of these two things before winter."

"I definitely don't have enough manpower. If anyone from the village is willing to come, not only can they get a lunch, but they can also get wages, which is ten cents a day."

Village Chief Wang was overjoyed when he heard this. It was a good feeling. In this way, the villagers would be able to save enough money and food for the winter.

But when he thought about Fang Jinxiu's situation, he felt very sorry for this girl.

"Jinxiu, isn't it too much to pay ten cents a day for lunch? You have just bought the hilltop and are now anxious to open up wasteland and build a house. Do you have enough money on hand?"

Seeing that Village Chief Wang would still consider her, Fang Jinxiu felt that she had seen the right person.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry. There will be a way for the car to reach the mountain. I will find a way to deal with the money."

In fact, after buying Shantou, she already had very little money in her hand, and there was still space piled full of supplies.

The 4000 taels of silver given by the fat old man only left over 300 taels, which was certainly not enough.

As soon as Village Chief Wang left, Fang Jinxiu's expression suddenly became less relaxed.
