Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 300 Going to Lingjia Village to Propose

When Qiao Jianer saw that it was almost done, he had already prepared a room full of film. Since the old yard couldn't hold it, he put it in the warehouse in the new yard.

The row of houses in the south are either utility rooms or warehouses, and they are all built very spaciously, more than enough for storing things.

According to the local custom, people cannot move into the new house before the wedding banquet, so the Qiao family still lives in the old courtyard, but the new furniture and belongings that cannot be put in have been moved in.

The cost of plastic film for one mu of land is one hundred wen, and nine hundred wen for ten mu of land. Families with more land have to spend more money. Fortunately, they have a lot of land and can make a lot of money by selling grain. Even if most of it is confiscated, they can still pay it out.

"Jian'er, if you buy film for ten acres of land and give me the money for nine acres, then if I give you the money for ten acres, can you give me the film for eleven acres?" a villager asked.

"Sure." Qiao Jianer agreed readily.

"The sickle is really nice."

The film looks thin, but it is still very heavy when folded for one acre of land. Some families come with their entire family, and they either carry it on their shoulders or in a backpack.

Being able to harvest grain in winter was something we never thought possible before, so everyone was very positive.

Because there were so many people buying, even some from other villages, everyone was queuing up.

Several people in the Qiao family are busy working on it. The specifications for materials required for one acre of land are ready-made. They just need to take as much as the quantity depends on the acre of land.

When it came to the next one, the opponent's movements were a little slow, and he moved up slowly.

At first glance, it was the Shen family. After experiencing this robbery, the Shen family was badly injured, and everyone looked gloomy and dejected.

In addition, they had a grudge against the Qiao family, so they were not sure whether the Qiao family would be willing to sell the film to them.

If they had a choice, they wouldn't come here to buy film.

For the Qiao family, business is business. As long as they pay enough, they don’t ask anything else.

"How many acres of film do you want?" Feng asked without a smile on her face.

"Sixty mu of land." Liu said, "Six ten mu, wouldn't that be six hundred coins less?"

"This is what we agreed on before. I'll give you less." Feng didn't say anything more and handed them the film.

The Shen family breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was something to buy, it was fine. They also took out the five taels and four hundred wen they had prepared.

Then the men and women carried the film away.

The Qiao family originally thought that the Shen family might cause trouble, so they were quite cautious. However, the Shen family just bought the things and left without saying anything.

Sure enough, when it came to settling accounts, the Shen family also knew the importance of it.

The Shen family has 60 mu of land, which is quite fertile. If one mu of land can produce a little over 100 jin, that's a conservative estimate of 6,000 jin. At three cents per jin, it can be sold for 18 liang this year.

Not only will you get your money back, but you'll also make more.

Old Mrs. Qiao did some calculations and nodded, "We should buy more land."

If there is nothing to sell here, they will go to the nearby villages. For example, the Shen family has land in another village. In order to avoid being coveted during the harvest, the Shen family will bribe some people in the local village to help watch over it.

This experience can be used as a reference.

Those from other villages lined up and discussed at the same time.

"Is it really useful? If not, then it's a waste of money. We haven't even seen any results yet, and we're buying it. This much land is not cheap."

"It will take several months to see the results. By then, everyone else's fields will have crops, but ours won't."

"You don't know this girl. Do you see that big bridge above Datian Village? She designed it, and she had the villagers dig the river channel. Datian Village didn't suffer from floods this year, all thanks to her."

"So, the people in Datian Village trust her very much."

"And the other day, the grain collection team arrived at Datian Village and wanted to collect 90% of the tax. It was this girl who stood up for justice and nearly lost her life for it. In the end, the tax was reduced to 70%. If she had such a heart, she wouldn't be someone who is blinded by greed and only wants to take advantage of everyone's hard-earned money with useless things."

"Oh, that's amazing! Buy it, buy it, buy it!"

Just after lunch, Qiao Lao Da, Dayong, and Zhao Lao Si went to Lingjia Village with the prepared betrothal gifts.

The films were prepared in sufficient quantities and the family members had become skilled, so Qiao Jianer had some free time and they went to Datian Village together.

Because they were going to propose marriage, there were several red cloths tied on the carriage, even a piece was tied on Dahong's forehead.

The villagers knew that they were going to propose marriage and they all gave their blessings.

"Dayong, you're getting married. Congratulations! In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up and are getting married."

"Marry her home quickly so we can have a good look at her."

"A new house and a new wife, double happiness."

This place is about 25 miles away from Lingjia Village, which is not too far.

Qiao Jianer was going because she wanted to deliver something.

When the carriage arrived at Lingjia Village, the villagers knew that someone was coming to propose marriage when they saw the scene, and they all came out to watch the fun.

Since the road above couldn't lead down, Qiao Jianer went around the village and came up from the bottom, which attracted more people's attention.

"That's the family you mentioned who borrowed money and grain from the Ling family before the wedding. Didn't they say they were cheating and breaking up the marriage?"

"Nonsense! This family is rich. They just want to borrow a few taels to make ends meet. They might have already paid it back."

Everyone seemed to understand something and looked at each other.

"not--"

"I'm not sure. If that's the case, then I can only say that the family was very clever to come up with this idea to evade taxation."

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence." An old man had a serious look on his face, but looking at the Ferghana horse and the big carriage, he already had an idea in his mind.

How many taels of silver would a family like this borrow from their in-laws?

As for the grain, it seems that two bags were brought back last time. There is no need to say more about the reason.

"This family is selling film now. Several people from our village have already gone to buy it this morning. If anything happens, we won't be able to grow food this winter."

When it came to this life-and-death issue, the villagers wisely kept their mouths shut.

Although they felt unbalanced that the Ling family escaped this disaster, the reality they had to face next was the most important thing.

In fact, even if they wanted to expose it, the Qiao family must have been prepared long ago. It didn't matter whether those grain-collecting teams would come back for an ordinary family. The key was that they would not be able to find out anything.

Borrowing money and grain is normal. It is their business when to pay it back. There is no loophole and it cannot be used as a handle.

"The Ling family is lucky to have met a noble person." Someone sighed with envy.

I saw a carriage parked in front of the Ling family's door, and the things inside were carried down one by one, one box at a time, which was dazzling to look at.

Dayong, dressed in military uniform and striding with long legs, got down from the carriage, looking majestic.
