BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70 Its Good to be a Landowner
Qin Mian turned his head over, and carefully looked at his eyes, "Are you awake?"
Lei Tia embraced him, "Very awake."
"You didn't mention that ten years ago. I thought you didn't want to tell me." Qin Mian looked at him, smiled slightly, and felt relieved in his heart.
"I won't hide anything from you." Lei Tia pinched his chin, pecked his lips lightly, and took the rope, "I didn't mention it earlier, but I don't know where to start. "Back then ??"
Qin Mian listened seriously.
was still in a state of shock, he forgot to get off the carriage, and was carried by Lei Tia out. They entered the house together, and were placed on the sofa.
Never would he have thought that Lei Tia's ten years would be so tortuous, so hot-blooded, so exciting, and so heavy. No wonder he never mentioned the past.
Standing at the entrance of the kitchen, Qin Mian watched as Lei Tia sat in front of the stove and started boiling water. Knowing Lei Tia's past, he felt even more pain for him, and his heart was even closer to Lei Tia's. At the same time, he felt a little apprehensive. Lei Tia had confessed to him, but he did not want to immediately tell Lei Tia about the spatial matter.
"Actually, I have something that I have hidden from you ??"
Lei Tia embraced his waist, tilted her head and sealed his lips, continuing to stare at the fire with a normal expression, "I understand. I will wait until the day you are willing to tell me. "
Qin Mian breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little disappointed. Lei Tia didn't ask him further about his secret, but he felt that Lei Tia didn't care about him that much. This contradictory feeling. However, they still had a long time. There were many things that they were not in a hurry for.
"Wait until the fifteenth of the eighth month, you really will teach me ??" Qin Mian thought about the most important thing that Lei Tia said, and he was unable to control his agitated emotions. His heart was beating even faster, and his blood was boiling.
Lei Tia nodded, "The best time is on the fifteenth of the eighth month."
Qin Mian hugged his head and kissed him.
Lei Tia threw away the fire pincers in his hand, grabbed his waist and lifted him into his arms, allowing him to sit on his thighs.
The smell of alcohol in his mouth had not dissipated yet, it had filled Qin Mian's entire mouth. Qin Mian's body became weak, her two arms wrapped around his neck, not willing to be outdone and replied with full strength. His body was not as strong as Lei Tia's, hence he was defeated quickly. He could only rely on Lei Tia's arms to support his upper body, allowing Lei Tia to do as he pleased.
"Wait a little longer ??" Lei Tia said in a low and hoarse voice as his tongue moved even more intensely. His right hand rubbed the back of Qin Mian's neck and back through his cotton robe.
Qin Mian pushed him away with all his might, staring at him, slightly gasping for breath, he spoke with a hint of helplessness: "My butt is stinging from the heat." Lei Tia was originally closer to the stove, but when he was in Lei Tia's embrace, he was even closer.
Lei Tia reached out his hand to touch it, and as expected, it was very hot.
"What's so fu
y ?? ??" Qin Mian looked at him, lost in thought. This man was really good-looking. He didn't smile, but his eyes were sharp and fierce. When he smiled, starlight seemed to fly out of Gu Jing's eyes. The corners of his lips curled up into a charming smile, making people unable to shift their gaze away.
Lei Tia did not let go of him, he only moved the wooden block under his butt back, a little further away from the stove, his thumb aiming at's face. Ever since his wife woke up from her coma, she had never shown any fear or disgust towards the scar on his face. To be more precise, the scar on his face did not seem to exist in her eyes.
After boiling the water and doing some personal hygiene, Lei Tia brought Qin Mian back to his room. They squatted at the corner and broke off a piece of brick with their hands.
"What are you doing?" Qin Mian threw his slippers on the brick bed and asked in bewilderment.
Lei Tia took out a flat brown wooden box from the crevice. He placed the brick back inside and handed the wooden box over to Qin Mian, indicating him to take a look before anything else.
Qin Mian opened the wooden box suspiciously. Inside was a stack of papers. One, two, three... Three banknotes worth 10,000 taels of silver, one banknotes worth 5000 taels of silver, and five banknotes worth 1000 taels of silver. A total of fifty thousand silver? "
Lei Tia nodded.
Qin Mian snorted lightly, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked down at him from above, "Since you hid it so well, why did you give it to me?"
Lei Tia sat beside him, tugging him to sit down, and said in a low voice: "I didn't give you this in the past because I was afraid that you would run away."
The corner of Qin Mian's mouth twitched, he raised his head to think, and felt that it was true. If Lei Tia had given him the money right after he had teleported here, in the days when he was pe
iless, he really might have been able to take it all away.
Qin Mian intentionally said: "Right now, I might be able to run ?? ??"
Before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly felt heavy ?? He was firmly pressed down on the brick bed by Lei Tia.
Lei Tia's left hand pressed down on his right wrist, while his right hand locked onto his left wrist.
Qin Mian chuckled, he raised his left hand to stroke the back of his neck, and scratched his head, "I was just joking. Since you do not like living in the city, tomorrow we will look for the Precinct Head to buy more land. "Get up, I'll go hide the money."
Lei Tia laid on the brick bed, hands behind his head. Watching him opening the wardrobe with a satisfied look on his face and then opening the secret box inside, a trace of a loving smile surfaced in his deep eyes.
Qin Mian did not feel safe leaving such a large sum of money at home. He only pretended to look with his back facing Lei Tia, then kept the wooden box back into his space and locked it.
Other than the five hundred taels of banknotes that Lei Tia used to sell Bear's Palm, there were also two hundred taels of banknotes.
Since he had nothing to do, Qin Mian moved the money box on the surface to the bed and the two of them started counting the money scattered inside. Lei Tia also had the key to the money box, but only Qin Mian had the key to the secret box.
In the cash box, there was a silver ingot worth fifty taels, ready for emergency situations. A silver ingot worth ten taels, four silver taels, eight silver taels, three good copper coins, and forty-five scattered copper coins. On the surface, the total amount of assets was ninety-one, two hundred and forty-five dollars.
"How much land do we buy?" Qin Mian patted the money box in satisfaction. They were slowly earning the money, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Lei Tia said: "You decide."
Qin Mian leaned on his pillow and thought for a moment, then said: "I want to buy five acres of paddy field, five mu of dry land, and ten mu of uncultivated land, as well as vegetables and fruit trees." Since most of them would be living in the countryside, it would be good to be a happy landlord. With Goldfinger, farming was not a difficult task. However, it was too obvious that he couldn't buy too many of them at once.
The next day, Qin Mian and Lei Tia brought money and snacks to Precinct Head's house.
Precinct Head was surprised to know that the two wanted to buy land, "Didn't you two open a shop in the town? Why do you still want to buy land? "
Qin Mian spoke in a righteous tone, "Uncle Precinct Head, the merchant is at the very end of the line. We are farmers to begin with, so we can't afford to forget our roots. "
The Precinct Head nodded, "Yes. There are three farms in my village that are going to be sold. There are more than twenty acres of paddy fields and dry fields, but they are all scattered, one here and one there. There's quite a lot of wasteland in the village. "
Lei Tia said: "It would be inconvenient to take care of them."
"There's nothing we can do about that," Precinct Head said as he took a sip of tea. "But you can trade with the others."
Lei Tia asked.
Qin Mian thought for a moment, "How about this, we will only buy 15 mu of wasteland temporarily, and after we harvest the wheat, we will buy the paddy fields and the dry lands."
"Alright." The Precinct Head asked, "The land in the village that isn't Tian Fei's residence is basically a wasteland. Where do you want to carve out these fifteen acres of wasteland?"
Qin Mian asked: "Can you draw a square piece of land next to our house towards the small forest,?"
Precinct Head thought about the situation in that land and frowned. He said with difficulty, "Wouldn't we have to take up a portion of the base ??"
Qin Mian placed a small gray pouch on the table, pushed it towards the Precinct Head, and said with a smile. Besides, there are seven rows of houses in our village. In addition to the row where we live and the row in front of our house, there are five rows. If a villager wants to buy a house, he or she can go on to another five rows of houses. What do you think? Furthermore, it's not that we want to take any advantage of them. The main reason is because that piece of land is convenient to co
ect with our family. "
Precinct Head felt for his bag. It was a big spindle, and it could only be five taels of silver ingots. He put the bag away and smiled: "Alright, I'll draw that piece for you guys."
"Thank you, Uncle Precinct Head." Qin Mian was overjoyed.
Precinct Head looked at Lei Tia with a smile, and joked: "Tia, with such a daughter-in-law, you will not be at a disadvantage in the future. "Hahaha ??"
Lei Tia cupped his hands: "In the future, I hope that Uncle Precinct Head can take care of me."
"Sure, sure." Precinct Head laughed. Lei Tia's wife came to settle the matter, he originally brought with his two bags of not cheap snacks and gave him another five liang of silver. Even if they had something else to trouble him with in the future, it would also benefit him greatly.
He opened up a book and read, "The price of a piece of wasteland is one or two hundred gold coins per acre. Buy fifteen acres of wasteland and that will be ??" 18 taels of silver. "In addition, the land deed costs fifty dollars."
Qin Mian immediately took out a small spindle that was worth ten silver, fifty silver, and three hundred silver, and counted out fifty copper coins.
Precinct Head took the money and stood up. He straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go, we'll go draw the land now. After breakfast, I'll go to the county and help you get the land deeds."
"Thank you, Uncle Precinct Head."
Precinct Head brought his two sons as helpers, and the few of them took out tools to measure the land. Sticking sticks on the ground as markers, they tied up the lines between the sticks and sticks.
After every circle was marked, Qin Mian's house landed in the middle of the eastern boundary of the field. In the future, if he wanted to expand his house, it would be easier to expand it north, west and south.
