"If it's the land you told me about, The area from Mrs. Zhang's house to the foot of the mountain has a total of 40 villages. Each village has 1 tael. Can you afford to buy it, Ji Jiu?" The elder uncle asked with concern.
"I can buy it for you, Uncle. Moreover, the land is next to a stream. I can grow vegetables and raise chickens. Uncle, don't worry. But now I think it's better to buy a little further away from Aunt Zhang's house. I don't really want anyone spying on me. Uncle knows that I have no one to protect me. And I'm afraid of getting into trouble for you." Ji Jiu said in a depressed voice. Actually, she wanted to buy them all. But if the villagers come and watch She definitely wouldn't have a peaceful life. Right now, there were only a few dozen families in the village. But she really didn't want to mess with anyone.
"Then I suggest you buy only 30 mu, far from Mrs. Zhang's house but next to the foot of the mountain. What do you think? There were no villagers' houses in that area. There shouldn't be a problem."
"Okay, Uncle. I'll go back and bring you some money. I have to go buy things in the district as well. Today, I have to bother Uncle about the documents." Ji Jiu made a hasty decision and was about to go back home to get the money. But the elder uncle made her wait first.
"After purchasing it, what will you do next? If you hire people in the village to build a house after the seed-sowing period, then you can help the people in the village a bit, Ji Jiu. Uncle will take care of the village workers if you agree. Now the people who like to cause trouble have left our village. So I want the rest of you to have enough money to buy supplies to prepare for the winter."
"Yes, Uncle. I don't have a problem. As long as the villagers don't interfere with me, that's enough. I would be happy to give you more wages if everyone does a good job and doesn't cause me trouble."
Ji Jiu hurriedly told her the deal she wanted. The elder uncle thought about it and agreed and told her not to worry about anything else. Then let her go home and get the money first.
She took the mother and son to walk home indirectly as usual. And thinking about how to fence the land, she used to walk home every day along the side of the stream to avoid people. But sometimes someone comes to do the laundry. It's good that this village's stream has both sides. Whoever's house is near, they mostly go there. As a result, there aren't many people around her house. Because they like to sit and talk washing clothes on the other side of the stream.
Soon we reached home. Ji Jiu opened the door and took the couple inside to wait. She asked them both and found that they hadn't eaten yet so she told Aunt Qiao to make it. She would use the money to take care of the land at the elder's house first and then go buy things in the district.
Aunt Qiao, knowing that Ji Jiu had to go shopping, told her daughter to eat Ji Jiu's food left over from breakfast first. Come back and make Ji Jiu eat again. Qiao Huang Yu listened to her mother's words. She knew that her mother was in trouble so she had never been spoiled even once. Aunt Qiao hurriedly ate and then went to wait for Ji Jiu.
"Miss, Auntie will go help carry your things."
At first Ji Jiu wanted to go alone. Because of her solitude But thinking again, now that she's accepting both of them, it might be better to ask their opinions before buying things.
"Okay, then let's hurry and go. It's almost noon. When you're done shopping, you'll be able to hurry back."
The pair walked to the adults' house again. Ji Jiu paid a total of 30 baht for the land. Gourd without blinking She also gave the elder uncle another 5 taels as operating expenses. Today, Ji Jiu is acting like a millionaire who likes to spend money. Wahahaha.
"This is too much, Ji Jiu. You save some money for times of trouble. Don't spend a lot of money."
The old man hurriedly told the little boy he was watching over with concern. Moreover, right now there were only 12 families in the village. The land value received from Ji Jiu could last for two years if used sparingly.
"It's not difficult, Uncle. You and Auntie have taken care of me for over ten years. Now I can take care of you. Please don't mind the small amount of money I am grateful to you all."
Ji Jiu's words brought tears to Aunt He's eyes. He walked over and rubbed her head with affection.
"If you say so, Uncle and aunt will be brazen and accept it. Next time you have any problems, hurry and come see Uncle and Auntie. Do you understand?"
"I understand you, Uncle, Auntie," Ji Jiu responded with a smile.
"Alright, it's already noon. Let's hurry to the district. Uncle will make the title deed for you."
"Yes, Uncle."
Uncle He had prepared the ox cart earlier. Ji Jiu and Aunt Qiao then sat comfortably and entered the district. Uncle He talked with Ji Jiu about general matters. And by inquiring about Mrs. Qiao and the child sometimes, he realized that the mother and daughter were also in a lot of trouble. It was considered that Ji Jiu was very kind in helping them like this.
Arrived in Jijiu District, asked to separate from Elder Uncle to go shopping with Aunt Qiao. The elder uncle told them to wait for him at the city gate when he finished shopping. They will return to the village together. After making an agreement, Ji Jiu takes Aunt Qiao to buy rice first. She really forgot yesterday. Now there are two more people to eat. You may have to buy a lot. Today, Ji Jiu is possessed by the spirit of a shopaholic.
