Chapter 182 I Am Poor

It is said that you should not be on guard against others, so I thought she was being mean. The two old people are not young anymore, if something happens, she will be very embarrassed.

People are fickle, she is not in the mood to test, nor does she want to cause trouble for herself.

"I really can't do anything with you. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"It's like this. We have already reclaimed the land on the west slope. We just went to take a look at the east slope and thought that piece of land was good. We also want to reclaim it. Before reclaiming it, I want to ask my cousin to go to the county government office and ask the yamen runners to come and measure the land first, get the land deed, and then we will slowly reclaim it."

Bai Yunsong listened to her plan and looked at her in surprise.

"Cousin, you are still planning to reclaim land. It's okay to just reclaim the west end. Although it looks good, you have never planted crops and don't know what the harvest will be like. Why are you planning to reclaim land without seeing the harvest?"

"What if it doesn't work? Wouldn't it be a waste of energy and physical strength? If you have that spare time, you might as well send the children to earn some wages, save money, and buy a piece of good land in your hands to be guaranteed.

Bai Yunxi smiled.

"What my cousin said makes sense, but you also know that we still owe Doctor Yang two strings of money. How easy is it to buy good land? Although it is tiring to open up wasteland and there is no guarantee, at least there is no tax for three years. This alone is attractive enough for me.

"For me now, as long as it doesn't cost money, I am willing to give it a try. What if I get lucky?"

Listening to the tone of his cousin, Bai Yunsong choked. Sure enough, a penny can make a hero fall.

'He thinks too much. Although there are many people in his cousin's family, the two half-grown boys can't do physical work, and child labor doesn't make money. There are two daughters-in-law, one is sick and the other is stupid. In total, there is only An Yan, a laborer. It's a blessing to be able to support the family and not starve to death. How can it be possible to save money to buy a field? '

Listening to the voice of his cousin, Bai Yunxi's mouth twitched. It turned out that their family was so unbearable in the eyes of his cousin?

"You'll have to trouble your cousin to make a trip."

"Since you've made up your mind, I'll go to the county tomorrow morning. If I'm lucky, I can measure it on the same day. If the county government is busy, just make an appointment and wait for the yamen runners to come."

Bai Yunsong stood up and shook his clothes. "Just wait at home, I'll write to you tomorrow."

"Then I'll leave it to you, cousin." Bai Yunxi sent her to the door and said politely.

"What are you talking about? Not to mention my own people, even other people in the village, I, as the head of the village, have to make a trip." Bai Yunsong waved his hand, glanced at the dilapidated shack, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

'Forget it, it's not too late to talk about the house after it's done. '

Listening to his cousin's voice, Bai Yunxi was stunned. What house?

Looking at her leaving back, Bai Yunxi shook her head. What house did he care about? It had nothing to do with her anyway.

There was no rush for land reclamation. Bai Yunxi picked up the bucket and her equipment and went to the river to fish.

Standing by the wooden bridge, she looked around and decided to try her luck on the opposite bank to avoid meeting villagers and shouting hello to her, scaring away the fish.

She dug some earthworms, found a suitable place to sit, spread the bait, hung the earthworms, threw the hook into the water, and waited quietly.

In the cool autumn season, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and it is still very hot at noon. After sitting for a while, Bai Yunxi felt a little drowsy.
