Chapter 362 - 351 Contract Documents
Old Zhou eventually agreed to exchange a full twenty acres of land on that plot for Manbao, plus the forty acres of mountain land under Zhou Silang’s name, making a total of sixty acres for Manbao.
It sounded like a lot, but everyone knew the so-called divided fields were practically useless. Seeing Old Zhou repeatedly emphasizing how his family had offered sixty acres, Zhou Dalang and his brothers despised Old Zhou in their hearts, thinking their father was quite dishonest. Yet, they dared not voice it.
Once Manbao got Old Zhou’s tentative approval, she skipped merrily back home with her schoolbag after school the next day to discuss it with Bai Shanbao.
When Old Master Bai heard that the Zhou Family was willing to give twenty acres of land and a mountain, he looked at her in astonishment.
Their family could afford to let children play with lands because they had a lot of it—discounting other places, just within White Horse Pass town, Old Master Bai’s family owned nearly ten hectares.
As for the Zhou Family, well, it couldn’t be said they were in difficulty, but they definitely weren’t wealthy.
Old Master Bai couldn’t help but sigh, thinking how spoiled the children were in their family.
He then looked at Ms. Liu.
Ms. Liu smiled and said, "This shows good will. Your family offers sixty acres, plus the agricultural book in your hands, Erlang’s family will provide a hundred acres, Shanbao will contribute manpower and material resources, and the profits can be divided evenly into three parts, how does that sound?"
Ms. Liu said this while looking at Old Master Bai.
Because it seemed that he was getting the short end of the stick.
