Jiang Yue understood what Xue Dafu meant. He wanted to buy the village head’s two acres mu of barren land either way.

The strong seedlings that she had grown in her s.p.a.ce were resistant to barrenness and could grow well without the need for especially fertile soil. She nodded.

Seeing Jiang Yue nod, Xue Yan also nodded.

Xue Dafu laughed at Chief Lu. “Chief Lu, the barren lands are all the same. There’s not much difference between buying your family’s land and buying other people’s land. Why don’t you sell your family’s two acres to me? As for the other three acres, can you help us ask other families?”

“How can we do that? We don’t even want that piece of land anymore!” Chief Lu said without thinking. “It’s been almost three years, and taxes have to be collected. There hasn’t been much harvest yet, so why do you want them? If you plant stuff on them, you’ll have to pay taxes. If you really want it, we can give it to your family. You don’t have to buy it.”

“That is even more unacceptable!” Xue Dafu said. “That piece of land was painstakingly plowed by your family. Even if we have to pay taxes, we have to pay according to the harvest. If there is no harvest at all, we don’t have to pay taxes. We can’t just take your land for free.”

Chief Lu didn’t want to dwell on this issue. He was already full of anger because of his wife, and she was getting more and more outrageous.

“How about this, ” Chief Lu said. “You can just give me twenty coins as a token of appreciation.”

“Honey,” Chief Lu’s wife immediately panicked and pulled him to the side. She whispered to him, “Dafu obviously has spare money. Other people won’t even have time to ask for more, let alone less. Dafu is st*pid and will definitely give it to us. Let’s just ask for three silver. Three silver for one acre, so we’ll get sic silver. Our family would be rich! No, it’s better to make it four silver per acre. We’ll get eight silver. As long as you ask, as long as Dafu has it, he will definitely give it to you. You are the chief for goodness sake! You can’t get any benefits usually, so we have to take advantage of this time to make a good profit!”

The others did not hear it, but Jiang Yue did.

Jiang Yue only glanced at Chief Lu’s wife calmly and did not say anything.

Chief Lu himself was so angry that his body was trembling.

Three to four silver??

Two acres for eight silver??

With so much silver, it was enough to buy an acre of good land from Geng!

A farmer might not even be able to save silver all year round, and she was asking for six or eight silver… who did she think she was?

“Do you think I’m a scoundrel like Dagui? That I’m fine no matter how much trouble my wife makes?!” Chief Lu immediately shouted at his wife.

The voice was so loud that it could scare people.

He was clearly in a state of rage.

Now, his wife really didn’t dare to say a single word… no, she didn’t even dare to even breathe too loudly.

Even though Lu Zhuangniu did not hear it, he could tell that his mother had gone too far. He laughed and chimed in, “That’s right, you can just give us twenty coins as a token of our appreciation. We don’t want anymore!”

Finally, Jiang Yue opened her mouth and said, “Since the barren lands are all the same, your family can take as much as the others. Chief Lu, your family doesn’t want to take advantage of our family, but our family won’t take advantage of you either. ”

She was not someone who would take advantage of others. Moreover, she was doing this to avoid wrangling in the future.

Although Chief Lu and his son were clear-headed, Chief Lu’s wife was obviously not.
