Chapter 100 - 100: What About Those Fifteen Acres?



Tofu, in the future world, is merely a dish.

Tofu pudding, in the future world, is just a snack, a breakfast item.

Such a high stake for this? Isn’t it too much?

Hearing this, Shen Bai showed a smile on his straight face, and explained warmly, “Wherever Ji Wei Ju is located, there must be a Zuixian Building. In Bailu Town, the two businesses were originally on a par. However, now with the fresh food provided by the young lady, I’m afraid the earnings of Ji Wei Ju this month will multiply several times.”

“I see.” Qiao Xiaomai nodded with understanding in her small face.

“Let me think about it.” She also put on a serious face.

If this deal goes through, the Qiao family will leap from being slightly well-off to becoming large landowners in an instant.

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai stood up, “Then I’ll wait for the good news from the lady.”

Qiao Xiaomai only smiled slightly, not daring to respond casually.

After these two distinguished guests left, Qiao Xiaomai closed the yard gate and looked at the large mill in the shed. Various thoughts were spinning in her mind.

Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami did not return until sunset, their cart full of fresh grass, and both of them smiling. After a whole afternoon’s work, these two were not tired at all, and instead seemed more spirited.

At dinner, Qiao Xiaomai mentioned the chilli pepper. Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami only glanced at it without saying much. They fully trusted Qiao Xiaomai’s words and thought this pepper was really from the mountains.

Qiao Changshun, full of enthusiasm, said, “I think it’s time to water the wheat field. Let’s do it tomorrow and bring all the wooden basins and barrels.”

Now with the donkey cart as a tool, the task of watering has become much easier.

This was the first time doing such an easy task, and he could not wait to try it.

“There’s no rush. Let’s go to town tomorrow.” said Qiao Xiaomai.

“Right, we’re almost out of soybeans.” Qiao Changshun nodded. The hundred pounds of soybeans they bought last time were gone in three or four days.

“I think, the land we bought is still too little. If we use so many beans every day, and only plant on five acres, it’s a bit too less.” he added.

“Yes.” Qiao Xiaomai nodded.

At the beginning, she only thought about doing business and didn’t think about farming. But now it seems that she hadn’t thought it through.

Not only soybeans, sweet potatoes and chilli peppers, but she also has potatoes and corn in her space, which all need land to cultivate.

In her opinion, she should buy a hill…

“Don’t rush to buy land. Father, when our family originally divided, we only got fifteen acres of farmland. According to the Daqi Laws, you should have thirty acres.”

The Daqi Laws stipulated that each adult male was granted a hundred acres of land, while females and children were not granted any land.

At the time of the division, Qiao Changshun, Zhuang Luhe, and the original owner, who was only four or five years old at the time, should have had thirty acres of land. But for many years, this family of four only had fifteen acres of land.

The remaining fifteen acres were all occupied by the Sun Family.

Back then, Sun Junyan’s mother occupied these fifteen acres of land on the grounds that Sun Junyan needed to study, and crying and making a fuss about it, thus occupying it for a decade.

Mentioning this matter, the wrinkles on Qiao Changshun’s face deepened again, “Your fifth uncle’s attempt to study… it’s not easy either…”

The more land you have, the more you produce, the more silver you can earn.

Now his family is not short of silver. This fifteen acres of land, just let it go…

The answer of Qiao Changshun was within Qiao Xiaomai’s expectation, and she secretly pursed her lips, “Father, I’ll speak bluntly here, if the people from the old house come and make trouble again, I will definitely take back these fifteen acres of land.”

“It’s absolutely unreasonable for our land to be occupied by others, and we need to pay out money to buy more land.”

Qiao Changshun stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth and answered vaguely.

Seeing the wrinkles on his face, Qiao Xiaomai swallowed the harsh words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Forget it, anyway, she is the head of this family now. As for Qiao Changshun, change will come gradually..
