If she planted something good in the field in the future, this person would definitely think that her family had taken advantage of her. It was better to settle the deal now and make it even.
If she still wanted to cause trouble for her family, she would not be polite.
Xue Dafu didn’t know what to do at first, but Jiang Yue’s words enlightened him. “Yeah! Chief Lu, you don’t want to take advantage of our family, and our family won’t take advantage of your family either. Just take it at whatever price you want! Otherwise, I’ll feel bad about it.”
“If you don’t follow this rule, we can’t take your barren land.” Xue Yan said.
He also knew that Jiang Yue was doing this to avoid any trouble in the future. Therefore, he spoke up about it.
“This… ” Chief Lu was in a difficult position.
Lu Zhuangniu whispered, “Father, although we don’t want this barren land anymore, it really was something that we worked hard to open up. In fact, it’s not worse than other people’s barren land. It’s just that we feel that it’s not worth it to grow crops on this barren land. We might as well earn more by weaving bamboo baskets. It’s the same price as other families’ barren land. We shouldn’t take advantage of his family. You also know that he’s an honest person and never takes advantage of anyone. If you still do that, The Da family will never want these two acres of land. Why overthink things?”
“Alright, ” Chief Lu said, “Let’s do the same as how much other people’s barren land is worth. Dafu, thank you. Only your family… your family is good. I’ll go ask around and see who’s willing to sell their land.”
“Thank you, chief.” Xue Dafu chuckled.
Seeing that Chief Lu had left, Chief Lu’s wife dared to smile obsequiously. “Dafu, I’m really sorry for what happened just now.”
“It’s okay. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Xue Dafu chuckled. “We’ll head back first.”
“Okay. I’ll let you know about the lands as soon as possible. I’ll ask around tomorrow and tell you.” Chief Lu’s wife walked them to the entrance of the courtyard.
“No need,” Xue Dafu laughed. “Just let Zhangniu go to my house and shout. We’ll come over immediately. ”
“That’s fine, that’s fine.” Chief Lu’s wife even smiled obsequiously. “Take these peanuts back and fry them for Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. These two children have just come here and there’s nothing for them to eat.”
“No thank you, we have plenty at home!” With that, Xue Dafu quickly left with Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.
back home.
Xue Erfu was just about to leave with Xue Yifu, Xue Wufu, and Li Hehua saw them return. He immediately called out to Xue Dafu, “Father, Yifu said that this wood is not enough. We still need to go up the mountain to cut a few more trees. Come with us. The trees we cut this time are quite thick. It will be faster with more people.”
“Alright,” he said. Xue Dafu immediately agreed. “but Chief Lu went to ask about the barren land. What if he comes to our house?”
“You go,” Jiang Yue said. “Xue Yan and I will handle the rest.”
Xue Dafu thought that he wouldn’t be of much use even if he was there. She wasn’t illiterate, and Chief Lu would be there too, so there was nothing to worry about. “Alright, alright.” Then, he said to Liu Guixia, “Guixia, give the money to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. Let them do the deed. I’ve already talked to Chief Lu. We’ll buy five acres.”
