The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune!-Chapter 60 - I Want All!

60 I Want All!

At the door.

Zhou Xiaoli stopped Wei Chiyu and asked in a low voice, “Are you sending them to the county office tomorrow?”

“No.” Wei Chiyu shook his head.

His answer surprised Zhou Xiaoli.

At this moment, Wei Chiyu said, “I know some friends in the underworld. They’re very good at dealing with difficult scoundrels like them. Don’t worry, they won’t come looking for trouble with you in the future.”

Although she did not know how Wei Chiyu was going to deal with Wang Gou and Sun Er, she was relieved to hear Wei Chiyu say so.

The next morning.

Zhang Lan woke up early and sent back the rice and flour that the two stole from the Liu family last night.

Last night, the two of them had drugged the Liu family. They only woke up in a daze when Zhang Lan knocked on the door.

When she heard Zhang Lan say that their house had been burglarized last night, Lin Xiujuan jumped up in shock and ran back to her room to check on her money.

“You scared me to death. Fortunately, I didn’t lose them. These damn thieves!”

Then, she thanked Zhang Lan.

Then, she asked, “What about the thieves? Are they still at your house? I’ll break their hands!”

Lin Xiujuan shouted and was about to look for her weapon to hit the thieves with.

Zhang Lan hurriedly said, “They’re not here anymore. Chiyu took them away last night. He’s probably on his way to send them to the county office now.”

Lin Xiujuan felt a little regretful that the two thieves had left.

“Well done! We have to send them to the county office and let the county magistrate punish them!”

After ranting, Lin Xiujuan finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The pot at home was still on the stove, so Zhang Lan did not stay for long. After returning the rice and flour to them, she bade farewell and left.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli and Zhou Yu had also woken up and were brushing their teeth in the courtyard.

“Hmm, what’s this called? After using it for a few days, my teeth don’t hurt anymore. They’ve even become much whiter.”

After Zhou Yu finished rinsing his mouth, he could not help but sigh in contentment.

“Toothbrush, toothpaste,” Zhou Xiaoli said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, yes. It’s really a good thing. It’s much more useful than the willow branches.”

The toothbrushes and toothpaste they used were all from the alternate space.

There were many good things stored in the cabinets of the washroom in the small courtyard of the farmhouse.

Toothbrushes and toothpaste were one of them. There were also shampoo, detergent and more.

More importantly, she also found sanitary pads in the bedroom of the small courtyard.

There were two big boxes, enough for her to use till she reached menopause. She was pleasantly surprised at her find.

Although she was only 10 years old and had yet to have her period, her period would come in two to three years’ time.

She had heard that in ancient times, women used wood ash when they had their period. She probably wouldn’t dare to use that when her period comes.

On the other side, Zhou Yu, who had finished brushing his teeth, was humming a mountain song. He washed his toothbrush and toothpaste and carefully placed them on a high shelf on the wall behind the left side of the kitchen door.

It would be hard for anyone to notice this hiding place.

After Zhang Lan returned, she went into the kitchen and cracked three eggs in the broth. Breakfast was ready.

In reality, farmers would only eat two meals a day when it was not the busy period. They would eat one meal at nine in the morning and one meal at eight in the evening.

However, Zhou Xiaoli was used to eating three meals a day. Besides, there was no need to worry about food at home now. The two little guys also needed to nourish their bodies.

Hence, the family followed Zhou Xiaoli’s cooking habits and ate three meals a day.

However, they usually ate simple breakfasts in the morning. They would have porridge or egg soup, together with stir-fried vegetables and steamed buns.

After breakfast, the family got busy.

Today, Foreman Cao was coming to visit the homestead. Zhang Lan listened to the village chief’s suggestion and prepared to cook a table of delicious food to entertain them.

This way, they would be diligent in building the house for them, and the house they built would be sturdier and more secure.

Hence, after breakfast, Zhang Lan started to prepare.

Zhou Xiaoli took all her belongings and drove the donkey cart to the mayor’s house in Dazhuang Village.

When she arrived, the mayor was shooting arrows at the back of the house. He was very enthusiastic to see Zhou Xiaoli.

Ever since they listened to Zhou Xiaoli and moved their ancestral grave, no one in the Zhuang family had fallen ill for no reason.

The clansmen who had fallen ill earlier also began to improve with medication.

He witnessed Zhou Xiaoli’s ability and was completely convinced by her.

“Aiya, Little Li, why are you free to come to my place today?”

After the mayor handed the bow and arrow to his son, he greeted her with a smile. “Let’s go, let’s go in and have a seat. My wife, make a pot of tea quickly and use the Longjing tea I just obtained.”

“Uncle Zhuang, you’re too polite.” Zhou Xiaoli smiled.

The mayor laughed. “Ha, no, no. You’re our family’s esteemed guest, so you have to be treated with our best hospitality.”

As they chatted, the two of them entered the living room.

Soon, the mayor’s wife brought tea over.

Zhou Xiaoli took the teacup and thanked her.

After the two of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries, Zhou Xiaoli did not keep them in suspense and explained her intentions for coming.

“What? You want to buy the wasteland on the southern slope of Qingyuan Mountain?”

The mayor almost spat out the tea in his mouth. He hurriedly put down the teacup and looked at Zhou Xiaoli in disbelief.

Zhou Xiaoli calmly took a sip of tea and said with a smile, “That’s right, Uncle Zhuang, you didn’t hear wrongly. The wasteland on the southern slope of Qingyuan Mountain. Could it be that someone has already bought them?”

“Ah, no.” The mayor waved his hand and confirmed again, “Little Li, are you sure you want to buy the land on the southern slope of Qingyuan Mountain?”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded.

The mayor adjusted his sitting posture. “Little Li, since you call me your Uncle, I have to remind you that you should look beyond the price of the land. Although it is cheap, those slopes are infertile land.”

“If you want to buy farmland, I’ll help you ask around and see if there are any cheap and good farmlands.”

However, Zhou Xiaoli shook her head and said affirmatively, “Uncle Zhuang, I know what I want. I don’t need fertile land. The land on the southern slope of Qingyuan Mountain will do.”

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli was so certain about the slopes,

The mayor pursed his lips and did not say anything else. He sighed. “Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing. How many acres do you want?”

Zhou Xiaoli asked in return, “How many acres of land does the southern slope have in total?”

The mayor stood up and went to the shelf to search. After a while, he took out a blueprint and flipped it open. “Hm, there are a total of 23 acres of land on the southern slope.”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded. “Okay, then I’ll take them all.”

This almost frightened the mayor again.

“All of them?”

“Yes, all of them.”

Zhou Xiaoli was someone who knew what she wanted. Seeing that she was not panicking at all, the mayor did not try to persuade her further.

He flipped through the records and said, “Among the 23 acres of land, 10 acres were cultivated by the villagers previously. It’s 4 taels per acre then.”

“The remaining 13 acres haven’t been cultivated yet. The Imperial Court is encouraging land cultivation now. As long as it’s cultivated, it’ll be considered as your land. However, you have to pay taxes in the second year of cultivation. Do you want these 13 acres as well?”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded and said without hesitation, “Yes.”

“Alright! Then I’ll transfer the land ownership to you.”

As he spoke, the mayor walked to his desk and took out a few deeds.

After paying 40 taels of silver, she only had 840 copper coins left on her.

Fortunately, she still had the four pearls.

Zhou Xiaoli did not remain after receiving the deed from the mayor.

After bidding farewell to the mayor, she drove the donkey cart and admired the surrounding scenery as she leisurely moved towards the village.

Qingyuan Mountain was really beautiful.

Zhou Xiaoli could not help but feel a little satisfied as she admired the beautiful scenery and enjoyed the breeze.

However, just as her donkey cart entered the village, this satisfaction was shattered.

“Sister Xiaoli, Uncle Zhou is fighting with someone!”
