Chapter 768: Chapter 773 Landlord Lady_1
This matter was of great significance, and she had waited until everyone else had left.
"There’s also a plot of paddy fields covering four hundred acres on Xuan Eagle Mountain, costing a total of two thousand four hundred taels, should we consider it?"
Chen Yiling lacked a bit of confidence; she’d previously said that the reward would only come by the end of the year, giving Duo’er plenty of time to save up silver.
But she hadn’t expected that with the covert help of her godfather, this day would come almost half a year early.
If Qiao Duo’er didn’t have enough funds on hand, then she would be the chief culprit.
Who made her make such absolute statements in the beginning?
"As long as I can afford it and it’s available, I definitely want to buy it," Qiao Duo’er answered without hesitation.
"Becoming a Landlord Lady is indeed different, not blinking an eye at a few hundred acres of land."
Chen Yiling said teasingly.
Qiao Duo’er pouted: "What kind of Landlord Lady am I? I just have this much silver, I just hope this year is a bountiful one."
If the harvest turned out poor, she could end up buried in debt, since she couldn’t avoid paying the taxes.
So, this was a great risk for her, but she lusted after the fertile lands of Xuan Eagle Mountain Village.
After weighing both options, she decided to go ahead and purchase the entire plot of paddy fields.
As someone who had once been a typical modern person, she would never think of having too many houses.
Anyway, these were all immovable assets, and they would always be a part of her wealth.
"Last winter saw a good amount of snow; this year’s harvest will surely be bountiful."
Chen Yiling was certain; as the old saying goes, a timely snow promises a good harvest—it wouldn’t be wrong.
"Let’s hope so. I’ll give you the silver note now, and ask your husband, Lord Qin, to help make the arrangements,"
Qiao Duo’er made up her mind and decided not to change it.
As someone who had once been a typical modern person, she would never think of having too many houses—these were all immovable assets, that would always be a part of her wealth.
Chen Yiling nodded: "Leave this matter to me, I will make sure you get the Land Deed as soon as possible."
"Then thank you in advance, Lady Qin!" Qiao Duo’er also curtsied in gratitude.
Chen Yiling couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
But she caught a glimpse of Qiao Duo’er’s slender waist and nearly died of self-pity, now that she was inching closer to resembling a barrel.
She couldn’t help but say: "How come you stopped vomiting after two or three months? Now everything you eat tastes divine, you’re almost fattening up like a pig!"
"What does that matter, as long as Lord Qin doesn’t mind,"
"If he dares to mind, I’ll kill him! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t want this little thing!"
In truth, Chen Yiling was all talk; she didn’t realize how tenderly her eyes shone when she spoke, as if they were about to drip with gentleness.
In this world, no one cared more about that little thing than Chen Yiling herself.
Qiao Duo’er didn’t expose Chen Yiling, and after a few more jokes, she brought out the box containing the silver notes.
Buying the land would cost two thousand four hundred taels, with a service fee of ten percent capping at two hundred taels, totaling two thousand six hundred taels.
After counting out twenty-six silver notes, Qiao Duo’er’s box had become completely empty.
However, Qiao Duo’er was quite calm about it; being empty was a new beginning, and in the future, she would earn even more.
The next day, the Zou Clan and Gu Qingdie came with a load of gifts.
Yesterday, the Feng Family had also received the imperial edict, awarding Wind Liyang a Golden Axe, appointing him as a Sixth Rank Imperial Axe, along with a certain amount of gold and silver.
All this was thanks to Duo’er’s good fortune.
Gu Qingdie apologized: "My aunt asked me to come over yesterday, but I couldn’t make it; please forgive me, Sister Duo’er."
"If it weren’t for Brother Feng’s skillful hands, I wouldn’t have been able to get that thing out, so let’s not talk about who’s thanking whom. Isn’t it better to help each other out in the future than to go at it alone?"
