Chapter 53: Plans

“Don’t worry, go ahead and do it.” Xu Qing was relieved that these two girls were kind, so she was willing to hand over money-making work to them.

In the next few days, Xu Qing was extremely busy. In the end, Xu Qing was really too tired, so she drew a blueprint and asked Xu Sizhi to deal with the renovation of the baby store. Otherwise, she would really be exhausted.

Now, she had to brew all kinds of wine in the day and consider building a house. At night, she had to help Xu Sizhi and Qiao Yanhui soak in the medicinal bath and administer acupuncture. To treat these two injured patients, she had no time to accompany the children. Fortunately, Qiao Yanhui was good at taking care of the children and the children didn’t make a fuss. Those who didn’t know better would think that he was really their biological father.

At night, Xu Qing was almost done. She carried a few catties of pork and some pastries and rushed to find the village chief.

“Little Qing? What happened?” The village chief saw Xu Qing panting and thought that the Xu family had caused trouble again. A few days ago, Old Master Xu had asked him to stamp their family’s separation document, so it was notarized. This made him feel even more sympathy for Xu Qing and her family. The older Old Master Xu was, the more muddle-headed he became. Xu Jiangxi was a mellow and kind-hearted person. Also, Xu Qing was smart. If he split this family and occupied Xu Qing’s family’s land, Old Master Xu would regret it.

Xu Qing smiled and handed the things to the village chief’s wife. “These are the things I bought in the town two days ago. Try them.” The village chief’s wife smiled, but she didn’t take these things.

The village chief sighed. Xu Qing was really different from before.

The village chief’s wife put down the things and quickly brewed a cup of tea for Xu Qing. After Xu Qing took a sip, she didn’t exchange pleasantries as she said, “Village chief, I want to buy land.”

The village chief and his wife were shocked. Xu Qing’s family had just left and had nothing on hand. How could they have money to buy land?

Xu Qing knew about the village chief’s doubts and hurriedly said, “It’s a coincidence. A few days ago, I saved a rich businessman’s wife in town. I took this opportunity to borrow some money from that wife. In order to build a house for my parents and siblings, I can’t care less about the interest anymore. It was really urgent.” Xu Qing looked completely angry and helpless.

“The Xu family is too heartless. They will suffer retribution.” The village chief’s wife sighed. She loved money. After all, who didn’t love money? But she definitely wouldn’t abandon her children for money.

“Good child, you’ve suffered. Tell me which piece of land you want to buy. I’ll give you a cheaper price.” The village chief’s heart ached.

Xu Qing’s eyes flickered. “The land around where I live now is about seven to eight acres. Although it’s a corner, it’s quiet.”

The village chief was very surprised. “Your land? Only the land at your door is less than an acre and can produce food. The rest is salt-alkaline land and can’t produce food.”

“I’m not planting food. I want to build a bigger house. Otherwise, my family won’t be able to live in it,” Xu Qing said helplessly.

“Since you’ve already decided, I won’t say anything more. The land you want is relatively remote and barren, and you want so much, so this acre of land will be yours for five thousand yuan.” The price the village chief offered was indeed very low. After all, the lowest-grade field was ten thousand yuan per acre. The middle-grade field was fifty thousand yuan, and the high-grade one was a hundred thousand yuan.

“A total of 40,000 yuan for eight acres. This is 50,000 yuan. Take it,” Xu Qing said.

The village chief immediately widened his eyes. “Little Qing, you gave too much.” Although everyone who bought land would give him more, they wouldn’t give him 10,000 yuan more.

Xu Qing smiled and said, “I’m in a hurry to get the title deed. I hope you can help me get it done as soon as possible. After all, my parents can’t stay outside forever. Moreover, there are expenses to get the title deed done. The rest is for you. I can’t take out too much now. I hope you don’t mind. Don’t refuse.”

When the village chief heard this, he no longer refused and accepted it with a smile. This girl was indeed someone who would achieve great things! He didn’t misjudge her! The Xu family would definitely regret it.

The village chief did not disappoint Xu Qing. He handed the title deed to Xu Qing the next day. Xu Qing was naturally very grateful.

Xu Qing had already drawn the house she wanted to build. She planned to go to town to find people who built houses. If she looked for the villagers, she was afraid that they would not be able to achieve the effect she wanted. However, in order to let the villagers earn some money, she would still find the villagers to help her. She would not forget this. Sometimes, some acts of kindness seemed small, but they could solve many problems.
