LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 87 Buying the Yuan Family Farm on the First Day of the Yuan Dynasty
When Yuan Chuyi heard Xuan Yue say that Yuan Wenyuan came to ask for a meeting, she was not surprised at all, she had expected it. She was not in a hurry to see him. It wasn't until two or three moments later that she finished her work and then slowly walked out of the new house to the inn with a big belly.
There is no business in the inn now, but the door is still open. Yuan Wenyuan was pacing in the inn hall, back and forth, looking very uneasy.
"Master Yuan, can you sit down? You're shaking me here so much that I'm dizzy!" Yun Duo said, "Would you like a pot of tea for you? It's not expensive, it's only 500 yuan a pot!"
"This is your wife's uncle, and you still charge him for a cup of tea in your shop!" Yuan Zhongming said dissatisfied.
Yun Duo smiled, "In this situation, you may not be able to buy a pot of tea for five hundred coins elsewhere!"
Nothing is expensive now, except water.
Yuan Zhongming did not dare to say another word. Before Yuanjiawan, no one was willing to contribute to digging wells. The three major families only wanted to pay ten taels of silver per household to solve the problem. However, the people in the village suffered a lot. No one took their money, and only a few families jointly shared the mortgage. Master He dug two wells in the backyards of two families and shared the water in the wells.
When the Chen family and the Sun family saw that the villagers were unwilling to take money to do things, they had no choice but to organize their own clan members to build one or two wells in their backyards for their own family members to use. Only the Yuan family, because they were thinking of moving to the capital, did not pay attention to digging wells.
Moreover, most of the middle-aged men in their family are scholars, and several of them have already followed Yuan Hongjie to Beijing. Most of the people who remain in the Murakami clan are old, young, women, and children, and the middle-aged men are only in their twenties. Come on. But they usually don't work very much. How can they have the strength to dig a well? They barely dug a well, but the digging was shallow. Now the water has bottomed out. If they want to drink water, they can only spend money to get it. Buy water from other villagers' wells.
Nearly half an hour later, Yuan Chuyi finally appeared slowly in the inn.
Yuan Chuyi's body is now more than eight months old. She has a big belly and it is difficult to walk. Fortunately, she has taken good care of her body. Her feet are not swollen and her face is not fat. She is very healthy.
"Clan leader Yuan came to my little inn. I don't know why?" Yuan Chu sat down and poured some water. She is not short of water. Their family has dug three wells themselves, and her farm mall also has bottled water for her to exchange for drinking.
"I've met Princess An!" After the Yuan family elder was slapped in the face last time, the Yuan family now bowed respectfully when they saw Yuan Chuyi, "I heard a few days ago that you intend to buy Zhuangzi. I wonder if it's true or not?" Wen Yuan said straight to the point.
Yuan Chuyi had a faint smile on her face. She learned last month that they were going to sell the farm. She let go of the news and said she wanted to buy the farm, but no one from the Yuan family came to see her at that time.
"I originally wanted to buy it, but the weather is dry right now, and I can't grow it even if I buy it. So, I don't plan to buy it!"
"To be fair to Princess An, the grassroots have two farms, both of which are connected with good fields. Each farm has ten hectares. I wonder if you can help the grassroots buy it!"
Yuan Chuyi laughed, "Clan Chief Yuan, I just said that the weather is dry now and I no longer want to buy it! Don't you understand?"
Yuan Wenyuan's face turned red and white, and he was stunned. "To be honest, we are really in a hurry to sell the land and need money to save our lives. Can Princess An help buy it?"
Yuan Chuyi lowered his face and said coldly, "No!"
In the current situation, as Yunxuan said, only a fool would buy land, but even if she were to be that fool, she would not let the Yuan family get away with it in vain.
Yuan Wenyuan was so anxious that he clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths before letting go, "Mrs. Xiao, if not, I will pledge the land to you and you can lend us some money, how about that?"
"Then you should go to a pawn shop, Ruifuzhai is good!"
Yuan Wenyuan sighed in his heart, if Ruifuzhai was willing to accept it, why would they come to beg her?
"I wonder how the princess is willing to help us?"
Yuan Chuyi pretended to think, and after a long time he said: "It's not impossible for me to buy this land for you, but you have to agree to a few conditions!"
"What are the conditions? Tell me!"
"First, I bought your two farms for a total price of four hundred taels, and they will be mine from now on. Second, our three siblings will return to the Yuan family in Yuanjiawan, and I will become the Yuan family. The patriarch of the clan! You move away with your third wife, two clan elders, their two families, and the Yuan family who are willing to go with you. After you leave, you will branch out as a side branch. From now on, the Yuan clan in Yuanjiawan The family will have nothing to do with you anymore!”
Yuan Chu looked at Yuan Wenyuan with a smile, "I have these two conditions. If you agree, I will buy those two farms!"
"On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, your surname is not Yuan, your surname is Rob!" Yuan Zhongming blurted out.
Yuan Wenyuan also felt that these two farms, which were worth thousands of taels, were only worth 400 taels at first glance in the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, the three siblings would return to the family to become clan leaders, and they would have to move out as side branches! This is really a shame!
Yuanchu smiled and said, "If you feel that you have lost money, you don't have to sell the land and the people don't have to leave! Anyway, you have been living here for generations, so it's not impossible to continue living here!"
This makes sense. But Yuan Wenjing now seems to be possessed by an evil spirit and just wants to move to the capital to live. He always felt that the capital had a lot of room for development, and it was currently dry. If the situation continued, the drought would continue, and in two months the entire Yizhou Prefecture would have to flee the famine.
If you leave early and leave late, you might as well leave now. If I leave now, if I'm lucky, I can still sell the land and get some money to pay for it. If I escape later, I won't be able to take care of the land, and I won't get a penny at all.
Yuan Wenyuan thought about it again and again, and finally said helplessly, "Okay, as the current leader of the Yuan clan, I agree. We agree that you three siblings will return to the Yuan clan and give up the position of clan leader to you. I will take it with you later. Our family, the two clan elders, and the Yuan family members who are willing to go with us moved away and branched out as side branches, never to return to Yuanjia Bay."
Yuan Chuyi chuckled, "Okay, then let's establish the word as evidence and go to the Yamen to do justice, so as not to regret it later!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, someone took out the pen and ink and asked Yuan Zhongming to write the contract documents. Both parties signed the documents. Then Xuan Yue took Yuan Wenyuan to the Yamen for notarization. When they came back after completing the procedures, the first day of the Yuan Dynasty saw Yuan Wenyuan. The names of their three siblings have been added to the family tree.
"You can move out within two days tomorrow. I will return to Yuanjiawan in two days." Yuan Chuyi said. Seeing that Yuan Wenyuan agreed, she readily took out four hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to him.
Yuan Wenyuan took the banknote and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately returned to Yuanjiawan to let his family pack their things. Two days later, he headed north to the capital.
Yun Xuan looked at Yuan Chuyi, "I think the Yuan family has treated you as an easy target and killed you again!"
Yuan Chu smiled and touched his belly. The two children were making a fuss inside, "It's only four hundred taels. Think of it as a way to accumulate merit for them two!"
