Chapter 18
The price of land is similar throughout Baisha County. Except for those extremely remote villages, generally the best farmland in the village is only 10 taels per mu. Sometimes it falls to eight taels or even seven taels, and on dry land it falls to three to six taels.
The price of fields varies greatly, mainly depending on the harvest. In recent years, the weather has been good and farmers have had good harvests, so the fields are naturally expensive.
Gu Nanfeng originally only planned to buy two acres of land and one acre of land. Later, after Mei's father's analysis, he planned to buy one acre of land and two acres of land. But now the best fields were delivered to his door, and they all had two acres. He thought about it. I thought I'd bite the bullet and buy it.
The two acres of Chai's land were too close to him, and there were ditches next to the dry land. It was very convenient to water and fertilize. If you missed it, you wouldn't be able to buy it.
Gu Nanfeng now has less than thirty-four taels of silver in his hand. The two acres of paddy fields cost twenty taels, and the two acres of dry land cost another ten taels. In the blink of an eye, the thirty-four taels of silver were gone. He only had There are less than four taels of silver left.
The land was bought and the documents were written. When he went to the county to transfer the property with the two families, he looked at the empty money bag and was filled with satisfaction.
Now he has fields, and they are all good fields. Two acres of land is enough to support himself, and there will be a lot of surplus in a year. In the future, he can live on his own. .
Previously, Aunt Mei had said that she was going to Taosha Village to buy clay pots, and she had to pass through Taosha Village before going to the county. Aunt Mei was worried that Gu Nanfeng would go to the county alone, as she was afraid that the land transfer would not be done carefully. , he would suffer a loss in the future, so he called his two sons to follow him, and also went to Taosha Village to buy clay pots.
The Gu Nanfeng and Mei brothers, as well as the Chai family and the Deng family, hurried to the county government office as soon as they entered the county town.
Gu Nanfeng had already gone to the county government to handle matters. He knew that the people in the county government would not make things difficult for others. As expected, the land transfer went smoothly. After Gu Nanfeng got the land deed, he carefully placed it Well, there was always a smile on his face that he didn't even notice.
After everyone came out of the county government office, they headed towards the morning market together, planning to have breakfast together and then do their own thing.
They had big meat buns and rice porridge for breakfast. The money for the meal was provided by the Deng family. Gu Nanfeng and the Mei brothers were not polite to them. According to the rules, the meal should be paid for by their family.
Gu Nanfeng and the others originally did not plan to stay in the county for long. They planned to go to Taosha Village to buy clay pots after breakfast, but the three of them slowed down as they walked on the lively street.
People in Meijia Village do not come to the county on weekdays. They can buy all their daily necessities in the town. It is rare for everyone to enter the county once a year. The county seat is naturally much more prosperous than the town, and there are more fresh things. The three of them prepared to go shopping, whether to buy something or not was another matter.
None of the three of them could enter those grand shops. They would only stop and take a look at street stalls or sellers picking goods.
There are also sellers in Meijia Village on weekdays, but the things they pick are all common. The sellers walking on the streets in this county have all kinds of strange things in their hands, including chains made of beads of various colors and transparent utensils. The most eye-catching thing was that the three of them couldn't help but stare at it for a long time.
"Why don't we stop shopping and buy some gummy candies for my little sister and we'll leave." The three of them stopped at the salesman for a long time, but they had no intention of buying anything. The salesman looked a little bad, so Brother Mei stopped. The two younger brothers were ready to leave.
Gu Nanfeng had seen these things before, and the Liu family even had something called Liuli, but seeing that both his brothers from the Mei family found it novel, he followed others to look at it. He looked at the strings of beads and thought of what happened back then. He and the Mei family became connected because of the strings of beads.
Back then, if his mother hadn't used the money from selling mountain products to buy the string of beads for his third brother, he wouldn't have been angry and ran away and stayed at Mei's house temporarily.
If it hadn't been for the fate he had back then, after he reconciled with the Liu family, he really didn't know where to go. Maybe he would have drowned himself in the river and died.
"Brother, those things seem to come from the Western Regions, a country far away from our Dayan. Those things are expensive and rare here, but they are not so rare there. If there is a chance, we can go with them People who run business outside the territory can bring back a lot of things and should be able to make a lot of money."
Gu Nanfeng talked about his fantasies while looking at the bustling streets of the county. There was yearning in his eyes, but he knew in his heart that he would not dare to go to such a far away place, and most people would not dare to go.
Perhaps they were attracted by the strange things in Gu Nanfeng's mouth. The two brothers didn't say a word. The three of them just walked in silence. It wasn't until Gu Nanfeng was suddenly pulled forward by someone that the two brothers realized and hurriedly chased after him. .
As soon as he was caught, Gu Nanfeng recognized Gu Qingyao, so he did not resist and allowed Gu Qingyao to pull him to a quiet and narrow alley.
"Okay, there's no one here anymore, tell me what you want to do." After looking around, Gu Nanfeng shook the person away. Just as he shook Gu Qingyao away, the Mei brothers also arrived.
As soon as the Mei brothers arrived, they protected Gu Nanfeng and looked at Gu Qingyao warily. After only a few glances, the two brothers guessed his identity when they looked at Gu Qingyao's face. This man is a shameless person who seduced his brother and husband.
"Bah!" Brother Mei spat directly in front of Gu Qingyao, then crossed his arms and looked at Gu Qingyao with disdain. After looking at him for a long time, he didn't say anything. He just rolled his eyes and turned his face to one side, as if he didn't want to look at the person again.
Because of his outstanding appearance, Gu Qingyao has been a star among the stars since he was a child. Not to mention ordinary men, even many guys and girls are willing to get close to him. How has he ever been so disliked by others?
Gu Qingyao, who suddenly felt insulted, said angrily: "How dare you run away? It turns out that you hooked up with someone else, but the person you hooked up with is quite similar to you, two mud-legged people..." Looks like a poor man!"
Although the small alley where a few people were located was deserted, occasionally people would pass by from the nearby street. They would inevitably take a second look at the man in the narrow alley. Gu Qingyao didn't know what he was worried about. Although his words were harsh, his voice was very low, and he lowered his head deliberately, as if he didn't want people to recognize him.
But even though his voice was low, the three people across from him could hear him clearly. The two brothers immediately took a step forward, presumably to teach him a lesson, but they were stopped by Gu Nanfeng.
Gu Nanfeng thought that Gu Qingyao must have something to say to him, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged him to this deserted place, so he said to the two Mei brothers:
"Big brother and second brother, go and wait for me at the entrance of the alley. Don't worry, he can't beat me." Gu Qingyao has never done farm work since he was a child, and his stature is petite and much shorter than Gu Nanfeng. If the two of them really He can't take advantage of him.
As Gu Nanfeng spoke, he pushed the two of them to the alley. Brother Mei initially refused, but was pulled away by Mei Qingshan. Although the two brothers arrived at the alley, they kept looking at this side for fear of Gu Nan The wind suffers.
After there were only two people left, Gu Nanfeng stopped talking nonsense and said bluntly: "We have nothing to do with each other now. I don't have time to waste on you. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you don't say it, I will leave. Don’t look for me again in the future, even if you see me on the street, just pretend you don’t recognize me.”
"Who cares about you?" Gu Qingyao was no longer afraid when Nan Feng was alone. He curled his lips towards Gu Nan Feng and rolled his eyes. Then he looked up at Gu Nan Feng in a condescending manner. Nanfeng said: "Since you have said that we will have nothing to do with each other from now on, then you'd better remember what you said and don't go back to Liu's house again, and don't look back at home again. Mom, I will take care of myself and don't need you to worry about it." .”
"That's your mother, so of course it's your responsibility to worry about." Gu Nanfeng glanced at Gu Qingyao lightly and uttered these words softly.
He thought Gu Qingyao was sick, so why did he think he would go home? Gu Nanfeng didn't understand Gu Qingyao's purpose, but Gu Qingyao was choked by his indifferent attitude. After a pause on his face for a while, he deliberately emphasized his tone and repeated what he meant. : "That's best."
"If all you have is this nonsense, then we have nothing to talk about." Gu Nanfeng turned around and was about to leave, but Gu Qingyao grabbed the clothes behind him. He felt a chill in his lower back, and finally couldn't hold it back and turned around. He slapped Gu Qingyao hard and knocked him to the ground.
Gu Qingyao, who was knocked to the ground by a slap, covered his face and looked at Gu Nanfeng in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Gu Nanfeng dared to hit him?
Since childhood, Gu Nanfeng had only been beaten and scolded by him, so how could he dare to beat him?
"How dare you? How dare you hit me?"
"Why don't I dare? You pulled my clothes in broad daylight. Why can't I slap you when someone lifts my clothes?" Gu Nanfeng had long wanted to slap you, but now that he actually slapped him, he was happy. It was incredible. Seeing the disbelief on Gu Qingyao's face, he felt sad in his heart.
Maybe it was his own fault, because when he was bullied since he was a child, he didn't know how to resist, so Gu Qingyao felt that everything he did to him was right and natural, and he couldn't be dissatisfied at all. and resistance.
He originally wanted to say something, but now that the Mei brothers who saw them fighting had come over, Gu Nanfeng didn't want to say anything more, and just said what he thought was his last words to Gu Qingyao.
He felt that they would never meet again.
"I don't know what your intention is, but remember, I have nothing to do with the Liu family and the Gu family. You don't have to worry about me going back. You can just coax the man named Liu, lest someone better-looking than you appears again. , he is looking for someone else again. Also, take good care of your mother. After all, you are her heartthrob. If you treat her badly, she will probably feel cold."
After Gu Nanfeng said this, he really didn't want to say anything to Gu Qingyao anymore. He left simply, but he didn't know that Mei Qingshan behind him winked at his elder brother, and he pulled Gu Nanfeng away. .
"You are Gu Qingyao, right? The guy who steals men or steals his own brother's men." Mei Qingshan squatted next to Gu Qingyao who was still paralyzed on the ground. He had a smile on his face, but the words in his mouth were all insults. words.
Mei Qingshan originally wanted to say something even harsher, but he was not good at words and could only tell the facts. However, the facts he stated made Gu Qingyao blush, and she stretched out her hand to give him a slap. .
He punched the wrist that was hitting him directly. After that, without saying a word, Mei Qingshan fired his bow left and right at the person's face. After more than a dozen slaps, his hand felt numb and painful, so he simply stood up. He got up, then stepped on the person's stomach, and then kicked the person hard on the chin!
Gu Qingyao bit his tongue due to the kick, and his mouth was full of fishy and sweet taste.
Gu Qingyao wanted to shout for help, but his stomach hurt so much that he couldn't breathe, and his mouth hurt so much that he couldn't open his mouth. He couldn't shout out at all! He regretted it now. He regretted finding such a remote alley. He was going to be beaten to death by this man!
Just when Gu Qingyao felt that his life was in danger, Mei Qingshan stopped and said the last words to the person: "If you have the ability, go to Meijia Village to find me."
Mei Qingshan knew that Gu Qingyao had gone to Meijia Village to look for Gu Nanfeng, but deliberately did not find anyone to go back to. He heard this from Deng Dahong himself.
At that time, he felt that this man was a little strange. Today, this man specially brought people to this remote alley and seriously warned Gu Nanfeng not to go back. Mei Qingshan understood in his heart.
The man named Gu didn't want Nan Feng to go back, and he didn't dare to let others discover Nan Feng's traces, so he didn't dare to mention Nan Feng to others.
Then this beating would be in vain! Anyway, Gu Qingyao didn't dare to say who hit him.
Without any worries, Mei Qingshan fought without any scruples. After beating the person severely, he went to find his elder brother and Gu Nanfeng with a smile on his face while humming a song.
