After discussion, several families decided to buy the vacant land in front and behind their own yards.

As for the three courtyards, the third grandfather said: "My family will buy one."

The couple lived with Dashan's family and did not buy a yard. They had to buy one so that Fuya and his family could find a place to settle down.

The Gu Jinli family wants all the other two courtyards.

Gu Jinli wanted to make soy sauce and expand his tofu business, so he needed a yard for his workshop, and the remaining yard was intended for his family to live in after he found Aunt Daya.

Secretary Gao worked neatly and came one by one. In two quarters of an hour, he completed the deeds of their houses.

At this point, Gu Jinli's family now has three old mud house courtyards, each of which covers an area of ​​two acres. It cost twelve taels of silver to obtain the house deeds for these three courtyards.

Her family bought all the open space in front of and behind the three courtyards, which totaled 20 acres, and they spent 40 taels of silver.

There is also six acres of wasteland that is being reclaimed, and six taels of silver have been spent. Counting item by item, her family spent a total of fifty-eight taels of silver.

This is a lot of money. If it had been kept in the past, her family would not have been able to get it out. However, they have been doing tofu business for more than a month and have earned an average of three taels of silver every day. Now the family has more than one hundred dollars saved. With two taels of silver, you can get fifty-eight taels to buy a house or land.

Gu Jinli and Gu Dashan took out the cloth bags they were carrying, took out two bags of broken silver and handed them to Secretary Gao.

Secretary Gao counted the money and after confirming that it was correct, handed the deed of the house and land to Gu Dashan.

Gu Dashan was very excited when he took over the house deed. He could be considered a man with a house and land.

After getting excited, Gu Dashan hurriedly put the property deed close to his body, patting the inner pocket of his heart from time to time, for fear that the property deed would disappear.

Secretary Gao seized the time to complete the house deeds and land deeds for the other families. Just after finishing the house deeds, a burst of noise came from far and near. Hearing the sound, Gao Shuli waved to them. Said: "Follow me."

Several families hurriedly followed Secretary Gao to a small corner door behind the official's house. Secretary Gao took out a bunch of keys and opened the small corner door: "Go from here and go through this small aisle to the north back door of the county government office. That's where This is where the government officials come and go, and there are people from the Jiang family waiting for you."

"Thank you, sir." Third Grandpa and the others bowed to the official, and hurriedly entered the corner gate and left the official's courtyard. They followed the small corridor to the north back door of the county government office. Shang Xiucai was already waiting for them at the door. Standing next to him were two unfamiliar boys and a burly middle-aged man with a beard, wearing black and brown, with a wolfskin belt around his waist.

This man is none other than Shang Xiucai's uncle, Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi scanned the group of people for a while, then fixed his eyes on Qin Sanlang and asked, "Is this the descendant of the Qin family?"

Shang Xiucai nodded: "Exactly."

"Haha, look at this body and waist, he is indeed a good practitioner." Because of Lu Dezhu's incident, Jiang Qi liked Qin Sanlang very much.

When Qin Sanlang heard this, he grinned, and his smile was a little shy.

Shang Xiucai said: "This is my uncle, the eldest son of my father-in-law's family."

Several families hurriedly greeted Jiang Qi.

The third grandfather asked Shang Xiucai: "We heard a noise when we were in the official's room. It seemed that a group of people came to the official's room, but they were stopped by another group of people. Will anything happen?"

He was afraid that Jiang Xianwei's people would fight with Zou Xiancheng's people.

Jiang Qi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. This is the county government after all. Although the Zou family is a local leader, the people of Zou County Cheng don't dare to go too far, otherwise the county magistrate and my father will It will be difficult for them to explain when they come back."

Jiang Qi added: "Lu Dezhu has been watched by Lao Yang and his people. When it gets dark, Lao Yang's people will escort him into the prison cell through the back door. His affairs will not involve you and your family."

Third Grandpa and the others were very happy after hearing this, that's all. They are farmers and they just want to live an honest life farming the land without getting involved in any official trouble.

After Jiang Qi said this, he looked at Qin Sanlang: "You did a great job with Lu Dezhu."

Then he asked him: "What kind of work do you do at home? Have you ever thought about coming to the county government as an errand?"

Qin Sanlang shook his head: "Thank you Uncle Jiang for your kindness. The family has just settled down, and there is still a lot of work to do. Grandpa is getting older. I want to stay at home to help in the past two years, and I have not thought about leaving home for the time being."

Jiang Qi said: "You are a filial person. But you don't have to rush to answer. Go home and discuss it with your grandfather. Maybe he will agree to you coming to the county government as an errand."

Officials have great power and high status. Farmers dream of working in government offices. Jiang Qi felt that even if Qin Sanlang's grandfather was expelled, he would still drive Qin Sanlang into the county government.

Qin Sanlang smiled: "Then I'll go home and ask grandpa. If it doesn't work, I hope Uncle Jiang won't blame him."

Hearing this, Jiang Qi was even more satisfied with Qin Sanlang. This young man is not an ignorant person, he is someone who can talk and deal with things.

Shang Xiucai looked at the alley ahead and said, "Uncle, let's go back first. The people in Zou County Cheng are angry. It's not good for them to see us."

"Okay, you go back first." Jiang Qi said to the two young men beside him: "Huzi, Ah Liu, send my uncle and the others back. If there is anyone who dares to embarrass my uncle, you know what to do."

"Don't worry, uncle, you guys won't let those bullies bully our uncle." Huzi and Ah Liu are both strong men in their late thirties. They have been soldiers and have some skills in their hands, so they can protect people. .

Jiang Qi nodded, and Huzi and Ah Liu took Shang Xiucai and the others out of the alley, got on two mule carts, and drove towards the city gate.

One of the two mule carts belonged to Shang Xiucai's family, and the other belonged to Jiang's family. Lao Luo was not there, so Huzi and Ah Liu drove them, and they arrived at the city gate in a short time.

When he arrived at the city gate, Huzi saw two servants of the Lu family and knew that they were waiting here specifically. He sneered at them, flicked his whip, and rushed out of the city gate.

After running for more than a quarter of an hour, I saw Lao Luo and Ah Jiu. After picking them up, I ran towards Qingfu Town.

In the Lu family, Widow Qiu was beating Lu Laosan's back: "Third Master, don't worry, the Qin Gu Luotian family would never have thought that we would come up with such a coup. When Lu Dezhu comes back with their house deeds, Let’s ask Lu Dezhu to lead people to drive them out of the house. It’s getting dark now, and they will definitely sleep outside tonight.”

Widow Qiu smiled and said sinisterly: "There are a few girls from those families who are not very young. Let's ask Zhang Niuzi to lead people to make trouble in the place where they sleep. The girls from those families will have a bad reputation. When the time comes, you will have avenged everything."

"You deserve it. Those families who dare to go against me deserve this!" Lu Laosan was humming an opera while eating candied dates, happily waiting for Lu Dezhu to come back.

But he didn't wait for Lu Dezhu, but instead waited for his second brother.

Lu Lao Er returned to Dafeng Village at midnight. After seeing Lu Lao San in the study, Duotou slapped Lu Lao San twice.

Bang bang!

Both sides of Lu Laosan's face were swollen. He woke up in fright. When he saw Lu Laoer, he said angrily: "Second brother, why are you so crazy?"

Lu Laoer scolded: "Why am I crazy? If it weren't for your bad idea, how could I be crazy? It's a failure! Lu Dezhu is gone, and this time our Lu family will have to break our muscles again!"
