Chapter 407: Another 9 mu of top-quality land acquired!
Upon hearing this, Wang immediately cried out again, but it hurt again as she spoke.
"You brat, double the price? You're robbing me!"
"Then triple the price!"
Tao'er said in a clear and resonant voice.
"Mother, please say less!"
They're just two little girls!
Please don't make Tao'er angry anymore!
Liu Jiaojiao has learned her lesson and is now afraid that this wretched girl will make her pay off her debts as well.
Only then did Wang shut up.
She reached out to her daughter to help her up.
Although Liu Jiaojiao was reluctant, she still helped him up.
"Old man, there are still one hundred taels left. What do you plan to use to pay off the debt?"
I'm afraid you don't have any more people here. Oh, I forgot, Liu Tianbao seems to have an engaged daughter, right?
Or we can use her to pay off the debt!
That's fifty taels. You still have fifty taels left. Use your family's four mu of top-quality paddy fields to pay for it!
That makes it about right!
Tao'er said that on purpose; she just wanted to disgust them.
Of course, she didn't want the fourth son's daughter to be her maid!
"No!"
Liu Tianbao and his wife shouted at the same time.
"Why not?"
"Peach Girl, my Baozhu is already engaged, how can she sell herself into servitude as a maid!"
Wei hurriedly explained.
In her heart, she cursed: This brat actually wants her precious daughter to be her maid; she really dares to dream!
"If Xiuxiu and the others can do it, why can't yours?"
Tao asked back, then secretly gave her second aunt, Xu, a wink.
Xu immediately replied, "Fourth sister-in-law, why can't your Baozhu do it?"
We haven't separated yet; we're all still part of this family!
Being engaged doesn't mean being married; it's fine to just call off the engagement.
If all else fails, you can just use silver as collateral!
Who told the fourth son and his wife to always bully and exploit the second wife? Today she's going to get her revenge.
"Second sister-in-law, that's not how it's said."
"It's so embarrassing for Baozhu, a young woman, to break off her engagement. How will she get married in the future?"
Wei was extremely anxious; Xu was clearly deliberately trying to provoke her.
"But we can't just leave it all to my Baozhu, can't we? My sister-in-law can also help pay off the debt, right?"
For her daughter's sake, she had no choice but to offend Wang Shi and her sister-in-law Liu Jiaojiao.
"Fourth brother's wife, you heartless bastard, how could you drag Jiaojiao into this?"
Believe it or not, I'll skin you alive!
Upon hearing this, Wang was so angry that she was about to come over and scratch the person.
Why not?
Mother, you feel sorry for your daughter, and I feel sorry for my daughter too!
Why does Liu Jiaojiao get all the benefits?
Everyone in the village knows that Liu Jiaojiao is a good-for-nothing!
It would be better to send her to be Tao's maid, to temper her temper!
Wei didn't care about anything else and started shouting.
"Pah!"
My darling is already engaged, to a wealthy man no less! Don't even think about ruining her life of luxury!
As if suddenly revived, Wang slapped him across the face.
Liu Jiaojiao also came over to help, "You, Wei Shi, I've always been so good to you, how could you be so vicious as to want me to become Tao Yatou's maid?"
"You dare to ruin my life as a wealthy wife? I'll take your life!"
The mother and daughter together grabbed and beat Wei.
Tao'er felt truly delighted watching this scene of dogs fighting!
The villagers nearby couldn't help but laugh. These two women, who usually had such a good relationship, now seemed to want to beat each other to death. It was really funny.
"Get them apart right now! What a disgrace!"
Liu Laogen roared.
The fourth and third brothers quickly stepped forward and pulled the three of them apart.
Madam Wei tidied her messy hair and continued, "Father, my fourth son is a scholar and will become an official in the future. How can he have a daughter who is to be someone's maid?"
Isn't this ruining my son's career?
You should think this through carefully!
Upon hearing this, Liu Tianbao immediately realized what was happening and quickly said, "Tao girl, this really won't work. How about we try another method? Or I'll write you an IOU, how about that?"
That brat is deliberately trying to embarrass them today; he's a scholar, after all!
Everyone in the village treated him with utmost respect!
This brat actually wants his daughter to be some kind of maid for her.
What is this if not an insult to him!
"Send an IOU?"
No, I don't like that. I only feel at ease when I have the money in my hands.
If you are unwilling to use people to pay off your debts, then use land to pay off them!
You still have nine acres of top-quality land. At the market price of fifteen taels per acre, nine acres would cost one hundred and thirty-five taels of silver.
Let's do the math. We're still 65 taels short of 200 taels.
"Old man, what do you suggest we do?"
Tao'er slowly calculated the accounts.
Everyone gasped.
In this way, all of the Liu family's best paddy fields were given to the Liu Daniu family.
This girl Tao is punishing the Liu family; karma really works!
Grandpa Liu refused on the spot, "No, these are all good fields. If we use them all to pay off debts, how will our family survive?"
Farmland is the foundation of survival.
"Old man, why can't you live? You still have seven or eight acres of medium-grade land and six acres of low-grade land."
There was a son who would become a high-ranking official, two other sons, a grandson who worked as an accountant in town, and a grandson who was still studying. How could they all die?
There are also those who marry the daughters of wealthy merchants or the granddaughters of scholars—what wonderful conditions that would be!
From now on, you can just lie back and be treated like royalty!
So many people envy you!
Tao'er described a fairyland to Grandpa Liu.
Old Master Liu hesitated, thinking that what this brat said seemed to make sense.
"Father, Peach Girl is right. Let's give her those nine acres of top-quality land as compensation!"
If my son becomes an official in the future, he can buy more and better land.
We'll just sublet it out, and you can just sit back and collect the rent.
We can't let Baozhu become that girl's maid!
If that's the case, how will my son ever have the face to go out and see anyone!
"Won't my classmates laugh at me to death?"
Liu Tianbao was being advised by his father in a low voice.
"Alright, then those nine acres of top-quality land will be used to pay off the debt."
Let's write the sales agreement now!
Liu Laogen finally nodded.
"Grandpa Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
Tao'er turned to the village head sitting there and said with a smile.
"It's no trouble at all, just a small favor!"
Chen Shuigen thought to himself that the Liu family was now completely ruined by this little girl.
This is karma, I suppose!
People should never do evil!
The sales agreement was quickly completed, and Tao'er had her mother, Zhang Su'e, affix her fingerprint to it.
Thus, the land ended up in his mother's hands.
"Grandpa Chen, write down my mother's name!"
Chen Shuigen looked up in surprise and asked incredulously, "Write your mother's name?"
Tao'er nodded, "It's for my mother. My father is easily swayed, and I'm afraid he'll be tricked into giving everything to someone else."
She was worried about her father, who was easily influenced.
"Da Niu, Tie Zhu, Tie Chui, you three agree too?"
Chen Shuigen asked them.
"We'll listen to our little sister."
"Mom, come here and just put your handprint here. From now on, we'll need you to take care of this family."
Tao'er took her mother's hand and walked over.
Zhang Su'e's face was covered in tears, and her voice trembled, "Tao'er, how could you write my name? You should write yours! These will be your dowry, your source of security!"
She owed her daughter so much, yet in the end, her daughter was always thinking of her and the family, but never of herself.
Liu Daniu also came over to persuade her, "Tao Yatou, your mother is right, your name should be written."
"Your father is useless; he can't give you anything. How can he..."
Liu Daniu looked ashamed and could barely speak properly.
"Little sister, why don't you just write your name instead!"
Don't worry, your parents will be taken care of by your brother and me!
We will also work hard to build our family fortune.
The eldest brother, Liu Tiezhu, also felt that he shouldn't have taken his younger sister's money.
Liu Tiechui, the second brother, was so moved that he didn't know what to say. This little sister was truly as kind as a fairy.
"Father, Mother, eldest brother, second brother, don't worry about me, Tao'er is capable!"
I can gather herbs and I know a lot of medicinal herbs, so I can make a lot of money.
"Mom, please press your handprint quickly."
At Tao'er's insistence, Zhang Su'e finally pressed her handprint.
Erniu and his wife thought to themselves that their elder brother and sister-in-law were truly blessed to have such a wonderful daughter!
Some villagers were envious, while others thought the girl had gone mad, wondering why she would give land to someone from another family.
Even giving it to my two older brothers would be fine!
Old Liu originally wanted to refute, but his son stopped him, so he could only hold back.
Wang was so angry that her eyes turned bloodshot, but Liu Jiaojiao stopped her.
We'll deal with this wretched maid after she gets married!
We cannot act rashly now!
The sales documents were signed quickly.
"Old man, if you don't have the remaining sixty-five taels of silver, why don't you lend it to me?"
The villagers are still waiting to buy pork!
It's been over an hour already, don't waste any more time.
Tao'er put the documents away carefully, and everything would be fine once the official deed was approved tomorrow.
