He spread out the white rice paper, dipped the brush into the ink, and began to write.
However, the person who wrote it was Guo Bing.
She was a modern person who only knew how to use pencils and fountain pens. She did not know how to write with a brush.
Lin Yuelan said, “Big brother Nan, today I buy your property at the price of 15 taels per mu of high-grade farmland. There are a total of 1560 mu, which is a total of 23400 taels. There are 32 hills, and each hill was bought with 200 taels of silver. 6400 taels, which is a total of 29800 taels. Including the real estate and so on, the total is about 30000 taels. For you, it’s more cost-effective to rent, right? Brother Nan, you really don’t want to rent it? Do you want to sell them to me?”
She still had to be clear about this.
After all, she did like money, but she needed to get it through normal channels.
Jiang Zhennan did not hesitate to say, “I’m selling! ”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll pay 30000 taels to buy all your fields and hills.” In reality, he did not fork out a single cent.
“After the thirty thousand taels, you still owe me three hundred thousand taels.”
Guo Bing’s hand, which was holding the brush, paused.
Guo Bing couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, ‘this miss Lin, why does she always remember the 300000 taels?’
They had known each other for such a long time and thought that they were good friends. He had even forgotten about the 300000 taels of silver.
He didn’t expect that she still remembered it.
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, he smiled with a hint of pampering and nodded. “yes. ”
After that, Guo Bing finished writing the agreement. There were three copies of the agreement. After Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan signed it respectively, Guo Bing, as a witness, also signed it, keeping one copy each.
It could be said that this was a one-sided transaction.
However, Jiang Zhennan sat at the dining table with a wronged expression on his face.
Because his punishment was still going on.
The others covered their mouths and chuckled.
The next day, at the break of dawn, he went out to fetch water.
However, when he stepped out of the courtyard and headed in the direction of the well, he was a little surprised.
That was because he realized that the surroundings were filled with sand.
Of course, it was normal for there to be sand and mud when building houses.
However, he had only been gone for half a month, and the courtyard had already been built half the height. Moreover, the more than 100 Mus of land had been surrounded by walls that were as tall as a person.
How fast was that?
He clearly remembered that building a house would take some time. it would take at least a month to build it to this state.
But here, she only used half a month’s time.
Guo Bing also started yawning.
When he saw Jiang Zhennan carrying two water buckets, he immediately woke up.
He ran over and asked, “Boss, where are you going? ”
Jiang Zhennan looked at the water bucket with a slightly puzzled look and then looked at Guo Bing. His sharp eyes seemed to tell Guo Bing that he was going to fetch water.
Guo Bing immediately understood and said, “My good brother, we don’t even have to fetch water now.” As he spoke, he was about to take the bucket away from Jiang Zhennan.
Jiang Zhennan was even more confused.
Could it be that they didn’t need to drink any water during the half a month that he wasn’t around?
Guo Bing immediately explained to Jiang Zhennan, ” my good brother, come, come, let me tell you why we don’t have to fetch water anymore.”
Then, he brought Jiang Zhennan to the back of the small thatched house, even though there was a well in front of the house that was being built.
Jiang Zhennan was slightly surprised when he saw the well.
He didn’t expect that in this half a month’s time, even the well water had been dug.
However, the well was different from what Jiang Zhennan had seen before.
In the past, the wells that Jiang Zhennan had seen were either drawn by manual work. However, what was going on with this thing that stood upright in the well, like a dog’s head, and the handle of a long stick?
Jiang Zhennan pointed at the thing in surprise and asked hesitantly, “This … what is this? ”
Guo Bing smiled mysteriously and didn’t say anything. He carried the wooden bucket and walked to the side of the well water. He placed the wooden bucket under the dog’s mouth. He held the handle of the long stick with both hands and moved it up and down. It didn’t take long for water to come out of the long mouth of the dog’s head and into the wooden bucket.
This time, Jiang Zhennan was so surprised that he was speechless. At the same time, he had a feeling that this thing must have been created by Lin Yuelan.
Guo Bing quickly filled the bucket and then held it up.
He winked at Jiang Zhennan and asked, “Boss, are you dying of curiosity? If you tell me that you’re really curious, I’ll kindly explain it to you.”
Jiang Zhennan gave Guo Bing a strange look. Then, he walked silently to the side of the well and imitated Guo Bing’s movements. he held the handle with both hands, then moved it up and down. similarly, water came out of the dog’s mouth.
Everyone was curious about new things, and Jiang Zhennan was no exception.
At this moment, he was also slowly studying the dog’s head.
However, no matter how hard he looked, he could not understand why the water was flowing from the bottom to the top. Didn’t water flow from high to low?
Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan’s curious look and asked, “Boss, it’s strange, isn’t it? If big brother begs me, I will explain it to you.”
Jiang Zhennan looked at Guo Bing’s smug look and only gave him a cold glance before walking away.
There was no need to beg for this. This was not a secret. He believed that other than Guo Bing, the others would know the reason.
Guo Bing was a little dumbfounded as he watched Jiang Zhennan leave just like that. Then, he saw the two water buckets on the ground and immediately reacted and shouted, “Boss, you didn’t carry the buckets!”
“You carry them!” Jiang Zhennan said sternly. This was clearly an order.
