It can be said that except for the silver and two pigs brought out by the Liu family, the Liu family was in need of money and food, and was still in debt.
Even the land cannot be regarded as belonging to the Liu family because there is no title deed.
After all, most of the land owned by the Liu family is white deeded and has never been registered with the Yamen.
Li Yuan planned to wait until she got better, go to the county town to find someone, change the name of the land deed in her hand, and then sell it back to Liu Dongsheng.
Next year will be the year of famine. She sells the land deed to others, which always feels like a scam.
Instead of doing this, it is better to make arrangements so that the Liu family mistakenly believe that the land deed was stolen by others, and then changed hands several times. It happened that someone Liu Dongsheng knew saw it, and bought it at a price of 500 yuan per acre lower than the market price. Come back and sell it to them.
As for how the Liu family got the money to buy it back, what does it have to do with her?
Thinking about this, Li Yuan thought about the person who was suitable to help her do such a thing.
Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to rely on her alone.
She didn't know much about the county. The last time the original owner entered the city was five years ago...
After Ma left, Li Yuan saw Wang Can, who had just helped her change the bedding, and was now cultivating the land behind with a hoe. She couldn't help but sigh, the heroine was really hardworking.
"Can Niang, stop working now and come here for a drink of water!"
After hearing this, Wang Can raised his head and wiped his sweat, and said with a serious face: "Sister Yuan, the weather has not completely cooled down these days. I want to clear out the land and plant some radishes and cabbages. We can't always spend money to buy them, but You can’t always go and pull it out of other people’s fields.”
It's too late to plant radish and cabbage at this time. The snowstorm is in the middle of winter, which only lasts a month and a half.
But Wang Can still wanted to try. She felt that the water that came out of her fingers in the morning might help the growth of these vegetables.
If it can grow, they won't have to worry about having no food to eat in winter.
If it doesn't work, at most it will just be a waste of seeds.
As long as it can sprout and grow, it's not a loss. The worst is to eat seedlings like radish seedlings.
Li Yuan's body became lighter and lighter now, and she had already determined that the water Wang Can gave her in the morning was spiritual spring water.
Referring to the content of novels she had read in the past, she concluded that the heroine's spiritual spring water should be able to promote the growth of vegetables and fruits.
Thinking of the snowstorm and this house with nothing, she immediately said: "Okay, you go ahead and work first. I'll take the bedding to my grandma's house, and by the way, I can borrow the hoe to make it together!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Wang Can immediately put down the broken hoe in his hand, and then nervously helped her back into the house.
"Sister Yuan, you are weak, take a good rest. I will do these things. I am strong, and it won't take long to open a few points."
After saying that, he hurried into the kitchen, poured the little water left in the ladle into a bowl, and brought it over.
"Sister Yuan, come here, drink some water to moisten your throat."
Li Yuan felt that since she dared to drink this water for herself, she should not hide her physical condition and should tell her frankly.
"Can Niang, I don't know if it's because I feel relaxed after coming back. But after just one night, I feel a lot better. I used to feel heavy and tired every day, but today I feel particularly light. , seems to have endless strength."
Wang Can also felt that after drinking the porridge cooked with that water in the morning, his whole body felt lighter than before.
She thought that the water droplets that suddenly emerged from the gaps between her fingers should have the effect of strengthening the body.
But she didn't want Li Yuan to find out that she had such a thing, even if she trusted the other party.
It is better for few people to know about such mysterious and mysterious things.
"That must be because you came back. In the past, Sister Yuan, when you were at Liu's house, you had to work before dawn. You did the most and ate the least. It must be different from now."
"But you are still in confinement. Even if your health is much better, you still need to rest. Otherwise, when you came back from Shuiyun Village yesterday and you were still very weak, you will be able to work in the fields with a hoe today. What will the people over there do? I wonder, do they feel like they were cheated?”
Li Yuan knew what she meant by what she said, so she smiled and looked like she had listened, nodded and said, "Well, then I'll listen to you."
"That's right! You can rest for a few more days now. After I clear the land and plant radishes and cabbages, we will consider other things. By the way, Sister Yuan, do you have any plans for what to do next? You can't just sit back and have nothing. Bar?"
Wang Can already had a plan in mind and continued talking without waiting for Li Yuan to answer.
"To be honest, Sister Yuan, I plan to make some food myself and sell it in the county. But I am penniless now, so I want to go up the mountain to get something to sell first. When I have the capital, I will buy some rice, flour, oil and salt. I want to make some pancakes. , if you can earn a penny then it will be a penny.”
She said, and continued to talk about the next thing.
"Brother Junzi said yesterday that he was going to go on a escort trip. This trip will take a month. I guess that's still going well. If something delays him on the way, it might take longer."
"It's getting colder and colder now, so we need to chop more firewood and keep it at home. We may need to find someone to renovate the roof of this house. If it snows again and it snows heavily, the roof cannot bear it and may collapse. …”
Although Wang Can said it euphemistically, Li Yuan, who knew the plot, still knew very well that she was doing this for the sake of the family and her and her children.
This house may be the reason why her brother Li Jun doesn't live there often. The roof is leaking and it really needs to be renovated.
The book describes the heavy snowfall in Dongyue, saying that it was a goose-feather-like snow that fell continuously for more than ten days.
The sky and the earth were completely white, and the roofs of many houses collapsed due to the gravity.
That winter, many people starved to death and froze to death. What's more, the roof collapsed, crushing many people to death!
Therefore, strengthening the roof and stocking up on firewood, charcoal and food are top priorities!
But she also knew that the plot had changed now, and the heroine was penniless and had nowhere to go, so she said: "Can Niang, my brother is not married yet, and you also know it. If you don't mind the gossip that outsiders may say, , then live with us this winter."
"It's getting colder and colder now. It's not suitable for you, a girl, to live outside. If someone has evil intentions, or if you have a headache or fever, we can help you if we live together."
For Wang Can now, she doesn't care about the opinions of outsiders at all. When she heard Li Yuan say that they can live together this winter, she was very happy.
It's just that Li Yuan is a married woman after all. When she and Li came back, it was not easy for her to be the head of her brother's family, so she hesitated.
"Sister Yuan, I don't have anything to do. I'm just afraid that Brother Junzi will mind. I like Da Ya Er Ya very much. It would be best if I could live with you."
"Whatever this means, we can all discuss it. It's better than me being alone. But Sister Yuan, what I just said is really possible. You have to take it to heart."
"Well, I will discuss with Junzi. I understand what you said. There is a possibility of eventuality in everything. If we are fully prepared, we should not go wrong.
