MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 343 little landlady

 After entering Ding Xiucai's house, Qin Yao realized that Ding Xiucai was not at home at all.

He was in Fucheng and never came back. His wife asked the clan members to help with the land sale.

As soon as the land was sold and the money was obtained, he took his wife and two sons with him to Fucheng to join him.

Even if something as big as a murder happened midway, he didn't show up.

Because he was a scholar and enjoyed certain privileges, the government collected the body and asked someone to come over and ask a few questions before leaving.

Of course, the murderers cannot be the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Ding family. There is no point in tracking them down.

 It's just that the matter of selling the land has been delayed until now.

 The land that should have been easy to sell is now in hand and no one dares to buy it.

It is only a small number of people who dislike the bad luck. The bigger reason is that some people refuse to buy it and do not allow others to buy it.

Ding Xiucai’s old mother said that whenever someone came to ask questions, they would be blocked when leaving the house, frightening the people’s original negotiations to the point of being ruined.

“Didn’t you go to the elders of the Ding clan to make the decision?” Qin Yao asked tentatively.

 The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with only wry smiles and suppressed anger.

Even if they are blood brothers, they will sometimes stumbling against each other, let alone clan members who have been separated for several generations?

Ding Xiucai is not a very popular person. There are always villains in the village who secretly make things difficult. In addition, those people promised benefits, so the clan elders accepted it on the surface, but the result was superficial and they didn't care about it privately.

The tribesmen who had been entrusted by them before now dare not come forward anymore. Only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still holding on, and the worst thing is that they won't sell it!

However, Ding Xiucai’s future cannot be ignored. Not selling is the worst option.

 In fact, as long as someone dares to buy it, they can sell it at a lower price.

Qin Yao became interested and asked what the reserve price was.

Ding Xiucai’s wife sighed: “Six hundred taels.”

 After saying that, his eyes were locked on Qin Yao, fearing that she would bargain again, he wrung the handkerchief with both hands and tightened his cheeks.

Qin Yao: "Deal!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other excitedly, and Madam Ding Xiucai asked urgently: "Sister Qin, when will you bring the money over?"

"No need to go get it." Qin Yao shouted outside the courtyard: "Awang!"

 The wooden box containing the money was quickly delivered to her.

The Ding family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were overjoyed. They didn’t expect Qin Yao to be so well prepared, and they felt relieved.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get the land deed right now." Mrs. Ding Xiucai stood up hurriedly and asked the cleaning girl in the courtyard to bring paper and pen.

Things changed later. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just wanted to get the six hundred taels of silver in their hands quickly.

Qin Yao looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in such a hurry, fearing that something would get in trouble, and she severely spurned Wang Mawu and others in her heart.

 She was a little suspicious now that the so-called murder was either caused by Wang Mawu or a few other bullies from Kaiyang County.

Mrs. Ding Xiucai took out the box containing the land deed, and the maid spread the paper on the Eight Immortals table. Mrs. Ding Xiucai grinded it down to write down the sales contract.

Suddenly, several roars came from outside the gate.

“What are you doing sneaking around at the door of an orphan’s house?”

　　“Where did you come from with such a colorless thing? Get out of here!”

Hearing this, the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Ding family in the hall suddenly changed. The pen raised by Ding Xiucai's wife shook violently, and a large ball of black ink spread out on the yellow paper, as if there was a shadow, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

“Bang bang!” There was a muffled sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground, and the two strangers screamed and fell under the Eight Immortals table.

The maid of the Ding family screamed "Ah", and the mother-in-law of the Ding family turned pale for a moment.

But Mrs. Ding Xiucai was still calm. She immediately carried the wooden box containing the land deed in front of her and pulled her mother-in-law aside to avoid it. Qin Yao coughed twice uncomfortably, looked at A Wang who walked in expressionlessly, raised her head and comforted her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law:

"It's okay. See if these two people know each other. If they don't, I'll ask my driver to throw them out."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally realized that the person who fell to the ground was the person who had just yelled at the door.

Taking a deep breath, Madam Ding Xiucai managed to suppress her shock. She glanced at the two people who were curled up and rolling on the ground with a solemn expression, "They are the guys from the **** shop in the city."

“These days, they drove away people who wanted to buy my land.”

Ms. Ding Xiucai glanced at Qin Yao with admiration, but she still wanted to remind her, otherwise forget it.

"Ms. Qin, it's not easy for you as a girl. This is a bad luck for my family. You can leave. I won't sign the contract."

“If you don’t know me, just throw it out.” Qin Yao said to herself and winked at Awang.

Awang understood, grabbed the two guys who couldn't get up, carried them out of the door, removed their chins, so as not to listen to their calls, and threw them under the ridge of the field!

 Clap your hands, sit back on the ox cart, and look at the white clouds in a daze, as if nothing happened.

 “It’s okay, let’s continue signing.”

Qin Yao smiled and picked up the brush on the paper, put aside the faint yellow paper, spread it on new paper, and polished it for Madam Ding Xiucai.

Her few scrawled calligraphy strokes are no longer embarrassing.

Mrs. Ding Xiucai hesitated to speak, and Qin Yao said gently: "Don't be afraid, my coachman is guarding us, and no strangers will interrupt us."

Seeing that Qin Yao was calm and relaxed, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other. The mother-in-law nodded, and then Mrs. Ding Xiucai sat down and started writing the sales contract again.

Her handwriting was very beautiful, delicate and graceful, and also revealed a tenacity. Qin Yao was very envious of it.

But if she really wants to practice calligraphy, she should continue to envy others.

The contract was quickly written, and the maid who had recovered quickly handed over the ink pad. Qin Yao glanced at the content and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so she signed and stamped it readily.

Qin Yao took out the money, a 500-tael silver note, plus an additional 100 taels of loose silver, for a total of 600 taels, not a penny.

Madam Ding Xiucai handed over the land deed box. The land deeds for thirty acres and the land deeds for seventy acres were both inside.

Qin Yao finished checking carefully and confirmed that it was correct. She closed the lid and suggested:

“It’s going to be a long night and a lot of dreams. I think it’s still early. How about we go to the county office now to complete the resale procedures?”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got what they wanted. Ding Xiucai's wife went to get the entrustment land purchase and sale document that her husband had sent in advance, and immediately drove to the county town with Qin Yao.

There are many inconveniences for a woman to do things alone. Without the documents sent by Ding Xiucai, she is completely unqualified to handle the family's land and house on her behalf, and has to find the clan leader or clan relatives to be the guarantor.

Qin Yao's side is much more convenient. I have acquaintances in the county government, so I can do it by brushing my face.

At this point, Mrs. Ding Xiucai finally felt relieved. She knew that Qin Yao had a way to deal with the pawnshop, so she felt relieved.

However, the procedures on Ding Xiucai's side have been completed, but Qin Yao still needs to call Liu Ji, the head of the household, to come over tomorrow to make a new household registration information and leave it in the county office for filing for tax verification in the coming year.

 This step can only be handled by Qin Yao herself unless she becomes a widow and an independent female household becomes the head of the household.

 But similarly, you must also find the village chief or a clan relative to act as a guarantor to act on your behalf. Even a woman cannot enter the yamen.

After finally completing the formalities and leaving the Yamen, the two of them needed to buy some more gifts and go to Jinshi Town to inform Li Zheng to ensure that the information was consistent.

According to the normal process, Li Zheng should have been informed first, and then Li Zheng would submit documents, sales contracts and other proofs to the county government until there was a result, at least two or three months later.

Qin Yao was afraid of long nights and many dreams, so she went directly to the county government office to handle the matter herself. It was fast, but it was also easy to offend Li Zheng.

 Fortunately, Li Zheng did not feel embarrassed for the sake of the head of Liujia Village and Ding Xiucai.

 Finally all the joints were taken care of, Qin Yao held the land deed box and breathed a long sigh of relief.

From now on, she will also be a small landowner. (End of chapter)
