<h4>Chapter 412: Has the Heart to Take Care of Us</h4>
“No, Old Qin. Thisnd is used to support our food supply. How can we sell it just like that?”
The woman widened her eyes and looked at the old man in disbelief.
“Why can’t I sell thisnd?”
Old Qin smiled and said, “I’m sure everyone knows what kind of people my son and daughter-inw are. If they don’t even farm thend, how can we talk about food supply? Instead of taking those few hundred coins every year, why don’t I just sell thend and end this?”
Old Qin’s son and daughter-inw did not like farming. His wife died early and he had leg problems, so his capabilities were limited. He could only take care of the two mu of farnd at home.
As for the othernds, his son and daughter-inw had rented them out for others to farm. They only earned five hundred coins annually, and when the harvest was not good, they would lose half of the money.
Previously, when Li Zheng came over, he was not around. Hence, his son discussed privately with Mdm Zhu and the rest, saying that they wanted to negotiate with Lu Sheng together and that she had to agree to their five taels per mu ofnd.
If not for the vige head and Lu Sheng today, he would have been kept in the dark by his son and daughter-inw.
He looked at Lu Sheng and said, “Lu Sheng, to be honest, it’s useless for me to keep my plot ofnd at home. If you really want it, just give me a suitable price.”
“Okay!”
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I’ve seen thend too. I’m willing to give you fifty taels for one mu ofnd.”
“Five... Fifty taels?”
Before Old Qin could react, Mdm Zhu had already eximed.
One had to know that thend in their hands cost only two to three taels a mu when they bought it from the vige head.
Lu Sheng was actually giving him fifty taels now. If they had morend, wouldn’t they receive a hundred taels?
For ordinary families, five taels was enough to spend for a year.
Fifty taels could be spent for years if one scrimped and saved.
Moreover, if they sold thend, they would not have to worry about paying taxes in the future.
Who would not be willing to agree to this good thing?
“Lu Sheng, I’m willing to sell thatnd too.”
A middle-aged man walked out. Lu Sheng recognized him. He was Butcher Li, who sold pork at the vige entrance.
“Me too.”
“Me too...”
...
Everyone agreed instantly.
Even Mdm Zhu, who was boasting earlier, agreed to sell thend.
“Since everyone is willing to sell, I’ll help with the registrationter. You just have to ce your fingerprint on it. As for the money, I’ll distribute the money to you after the title deed is passed to me.”
Mdm Zhu was greatly disappointed when she heard that. “Aren’t you giving the money now?”
She thought that Lu Sheng would be giving the money to her on the spot. She was happy for nothing.
“Of course not.”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “After all the procedures are done, I’ll naturally give you the money.”
“But...”
Mdm Zhu wanted to say more, but she heard Li Zheng say, “Mdm Zhu, if you’re unwilling to sell yournd, you can continue to farm it.”
“How can that be?”
When Mdm Zhu heard that, she immediately replied with a dry smile.
It was fifty taels for one mu ofnd. Her family had three mu, which meant she could get a hundred and fifty taels.
In the future, they could build a big house like the vige head.
She was ted at the thought of it. How could she not sell it?
Li Zheng snorted coldly. “Lu Sheng is not stupid to be willing to give you a high price. She just wants to take care of you. Yournd is only worth two to three taels at most. You won’t be able to receive so much money even if you farm in your lifetime.”
“Li Zheng’s right!”
Old Qin’s hands trembled slightly. He smiled and said, “Lu Sheng indeed has the heart to take care of us.”
When Mdm Zhu heard this, she felt a little ashamed, but she could only cover it up with a dry smile.
Lu Sheng smiled and told everyone to wait for a while. She borrowed some paper and pen from Li Zheng and ced them in the courtyard to start the registration process.
