Chapter 127: The Plan
Wang Laozhu took a deep drag on his cigarette, "What’s the matter?"
"I’ve been thinking, waiting for the Li Family to sell off their land and house, who knows how long that will take, and surely some people are waiting to drive the price down, won’t that just benefit others? I’m thinking, why not give up on the silver left by the Li Family, and instead have them use their house and land as collateral, mortgaged to us, what do you think?"
Old Granny Zhang naturally had plans, given the current situation at home, life would probably be hard in the future. No matter how much money you have in hand, it will run out eventually.
For peasants, land is the most reliable asset.
Instead of letting others benefit, it’s better to take the land into our own hands, with land in possession, one won’t starve to death! Moreover, she could take this opportunity to secretly buy a couple of acres of land for her daughter and set it aside, otherwise she feared that all the silver would be spent on the eldest son.
She would never let her daughter suffer for the sake of the eldest son.
Wang Laozhu hadn’t expected Old Granny Zhang’s intention was to stealthily acquire some land for their eldest daughter’s dowry. He really gave it some thought, calculating the Li Family’s paddy fields and dry land.
A peasant’s family loves nothing more than their fields, only with land do they feel secure.
The Li Family, although Li Dagui was cunning, both of his sons and daughters-in-law were good workers, aside from a few acres of good paddy fields, many were dry fields they had cleared themselves.
If all these fields were compensated to the Wang Family, then...
Wang Laozhu suddenly felt an overwhelming excitement, and couldn’t sit still.
