nOnly then did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan follow him in.

nShe only knew Chief Lu and Lu Zhuangniu, but Xue Yan knew the rest. So, she followed Xue Yan in and greeted everyone politely.

n“Is there a problem? Come, come, come in and sit.” Chief Lu quickly put down the work in his hands and wanted to get up and invite them into the house.

n“No thank you, we can talk in the yard.” Xue Dafu laughed.

nChief Lu, who had just left the stool, immediately sat back down.

nChief Lu’s daughter-in-law wanted to pour them some water but was stopped by Xue Dafu. She then brought three stools over for them to sit on.

nXue Dafu, Xue Yan, and Jiang Yue all sat down.

nBefore Chief Lu could ask, his wife continued to peel the peanuts and asked with a bright smile, “Dafu, why are you looking for?”

nXue Dafu placed his hands on his knees. “It’s nothing serious. I just came to ask Chief Lu if anyone is willing to sell their barren land. My family wants to buy a few acres. Five acres will do.”

nLu Zhuangniu immediately laughed. “Dafu, are you out of your mind? Do you actually want to buy barren land? Who would buy barren land? ”

nJiang Yue and Xue Yan were speechless.

nXue Dafu only laughed and didn’t take it to heart.

nHowever, that wasn’t the focus of Chief Lu’s wife’s attention. The moment she heard that he wanted to buy a barren land, she immediately stopped peeling the peanuts and asked with her eyes shining, “Your family has so much money. Didn’t you already buy eight acres of good land? How do you still have money to buy barren land? Could it be that the blind bear was sold for more than a hundred silver?”

n“How could you say that!” Chief Lu chided his son first, then his wife. “I told you to stay away from Wang Sufen and the others, but you insisted to listen. Now, you’re no different from them! You only know how to inquire about these things, don’t you know how annoying that is to others?”

nHearing this, Jiang Yue felt that Chief Lu was quite a good person.

nChief Lu’s wife felt wronged.

n“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Xue Dafu laughed and tried to smooth things over. “Then, Chief Lu, what do you think about our family’s purchase of the barren land?”

nChief Lu said, “If you really want to buy it, I can’t stop you. However, Dafu, as the village head, I still have to say what needs to be said. Besides, I’m a few years older than you. ”

n“Go on, go on.” Xue Dafu was still laughing.

nChief Lu sighed, and then said with a heavy heart, “This is a barren land. Just like Zhuangniu said, no one will buy it. There’s not much harvest at all. You’ve opened up a few acres of uncultivated land before, so you know the situation. You’ve spent a lot of effort on that uncultivated land to make it have some harvest. It’s because your family is diligent, always watering or fertilizing the land. Other people’s uncultivated land might not even have your family’s harvest. If your family really has that money, I advise you to buy one acre of low-class land from Feng rather than five acres of barren land in the village.”

nXue Dafu laughed. “I understand the logic, but we’re not buying it for our adults to plant. We don’t expect any harvest. We’re buying it for our Jiang Yue and XueYan to play with.”

nHe was just playing around …

n“W-what did you just say?” Chief Lu thought he had heard wrong.

nLu Zhuangniu and the rest also thought that they had misheard. They stopped what they were doing and looked over.

nHowever, perhaps because Chief Lu’s voice was a little soft and Xue Dafu hadn’t finished his sentence, he didn’t hear him. Xue Dafu was still chuckling. “The two children usually don’t have much to play with. if they want to have a few acres of land, let them have it as long as they are happy.”
