Ugly Peasant Wife: Money Grubber

Yang Xinyu looked at him and shook her head, she had thought that he would reject her. Fortunately, he did not have any intention to reject her, so she could not help but heave a sigh of relief, "Grandpa Gu, then if I were to buy the wasteland today, when will the land contract be given to me?"

He muttered to himself, "Girl, buying a field is pretty much the same as buying a house, I have to take the document to the county town and ask the county magistrate to seal it, so that this document can take effect, and normally it will take 4 to 5 days before I can get the document with the official seal on it, the land deed is the same as well."

Yang Xinyu cried in alarm, "Five days? So long? Doesn't that mean we have to wait three more days before being able to obtain the Younger Brother's transfer documents? "

It was no wonder that the Madame Hee-zhou dared to come looking for trouble today. It was obvious that she had yet to obtain the documents, but her brain was clearly not working properly, and she actually thought that not obtaining the documents would mean that the documents were not effective.

Yang Xinyu still wanted to say something, but Ephor Gu said, "Girl, are you willing to listen to my advice?"

If she remembered correctly, they were talking about the title deed, right? Why did she have to be persuaded by the Ephor Gu?

Yang Xinyu was at a loss, and sullenly said, "I don't understand … Grandpa Gu's meaning. "

Ephor Gu sighed, his face showing helplessness, "You must be thinking fast, but sometimes, you really don't care about what happens outside."

Yang Xinyu still did not understand. Following the principle of diligently studying, she said, ", please enlighten me."

"Rumors that you and the Linghuan Tower Great Boss might not know are spreading all around here, so I naturally know that these are all jealous people who randomly fabricated such rumors. But other people don't think so!"

"Today, you gave us nearly one tael of medicine. It has already made a lot of people jealous. If you were to buy ten acres of wasteland, how would those people talk about you behind your back?" Ephor Gu didn't speak fast, every word was like a knife stabbing into her heart.

A single silver tael was already more than enough in the eyes of the common people, let alone ten mu of land.

Even if the land in question was of low quality, ten mu would cost at least five taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money.

Even if she knew herself, as long as she was well, there would be people who would be jealous.

Weren't those rumors made out of jealousy?

"Grandpa Gu, then how do I make these people shut up?" This was the first time Yang Xinyu felt so helpless.

In her previous life, she had been able to become a super secret service agent because she had never given up on the dictionary in her life. She had always felt that hard work would pay off.

But this time, the words came out of someone else's mouth. No matter how much effort she put in to improve her life, as long as those people casually slandered her, all of her efforts would be for naught.

This made her feel extremely depressed.

The Ephor Gu thought for a while and replied, "I see that the village isn't necessarily a bad place, it's just that they don't understand your character and treat you as an idiot from the past. "Alright, you go ahead and renovate the broken house. I'll ask the villagers in the village and the surrounding villagers to get to know you better."

Wasn't this using money to bribe others? Why hadn't she thought of that?

In the end, wasn't it the same way for her to get close with Madame Wang?

Yang Xinyu immediately regained her confidence and laughed: "Grandpa Gu, then when are you going to start repairing the broken house?"

Ephor Gu muttered to himself, "Tomorrow, I will go to Zhang Luo, we will first talk about the wages here, normally, a worker will earn 20 gold coins a day, a foreman will pay more than an ordinary worker, it will cost 30 gold coins a day, and as for you, you are in a small courtyard, you don't need too many people, I think it is enough for six people, one day you have to pay for materials, it will cost you 100 gold coins, and even if it is half a month, it will cost at least 2 gold coins, little girl, can you bear it?"

"No problem, Grandpa Gu, you remember to tell the workers that I will pay for lunch. If they do not eat at my house, I will give each of them another two coins." Saying this, Yang Xinyu remembered that the Younger Brother had said that it would cost at least nine taels of silver, which meant that there was still money for the ingredients.

She paused, "Then, should I go to the county to buy these materials, or should I buy them from the foreman?"

Ephor Gu laughed, "Of course it's for the foreman to buy. I know a foreman who lives in a county who can give me the money and bring the materials over tomorrow so that I can settle the bill."

When he said that, Yang Xinyu heaved a sigh of relief, "If I were to do this, it might drag on for many more days. Grandpa Gu, how much money do you want, I'll give it to you right now."

Ephor Gu calculated, "Generally speaking, your family has a small amount of 5 taels of silver. Just in case, you will give me 6 taels, and I will return the excess money to you."

Yang Xinyu took out six taels of silver. Only then did she remember the two catties of pork, and she gave it to him. "Grandpa Gu, it's all thanks to you telling me so much today, or else I wouldn't know how to deal with it. This is two catties of pork, and it's my wish, and I hope you can accept it."

He was even more pure than the county magistrate. When he heard what was said, he frowned and only took the six silver taels, not taking the two catties of pork even if he died. "Girl, why are you still being so polite with me?

Yang Xinyu had already thought of an excuse long ago, and said, "Grandpa Gu, it's not because I'm giving you the money as a gift, but because I think of you as my grandfather."

When Ephor Gu heard this, he beamed and took the two catties of pork, "Child, you really know how to talk and talk. I think those craftsmen will also like you."

Yang Xinyu was so praised that she could not hide her smile, and said: "Grandpa Gu, quickly say it, even I am embarrassed."

The Ephor Gu laughed heartily, "Girl, don't be embarrassed, you're still waiting for you to cure the Madame Zhou! "I think you're the only one other than her old man that can handle that woman!"

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly placed the two catties of pork into the rice jar and followed Yang Xinyu back to her dwelling.

The door was broken when Yang Xinyu kicked it, causing Madame Hee-zhou to be scolded by Hee Lianshan. Madame Hee-zhou clenched her teeth, spent her own private money, and replaced the door with a new one.

Yang Xinyu watched from afar, afraid that she would accidentally knock on the door again, so she invited Ephor Gu to knock.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

"Dong, dong, dong!"

Ephor Gu knocked on the door a few times before he heard a female voice coming from inside.

"Coming, coming!" Madame Sunn thought that Hee Qingshan was the one who had returned, and happily opened the door.

In the end, the one she saw was the Ephor Gu, causing her expression to darken, "Why is it you?"

Just as she said 'you', she saw Yang Xinyu standing at the back, and forcefully added, "Everyone …"

Then he asked, "Ephor Gu, why are you here?"

When she spoke, she deliberately avoided looking at Yang Xinyu's face.
