Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1225 - 1227: You Want to Buy a Mountain?

After coming down the mountain, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming grabbed the rabbits they hunted yesterday and headed to the Village Chief’s house.

Although the Village Chief’s son’s family collects game, who would complain about having more? Even if they don’t eat it themselves, they can trade it for silver.

Luckily, the rabbit from yesterday was still alive; otherwise, a dead one overnight wouldn’t be good.

"Village Chief Uncle, are you home?"

The Village Chief’s wife was in the vegetable garden picking vegetables. Hearing the voice, she immediately ran out, "Oh, it’s you two, quickly come in."

"Auntie, this was hunted yesterday, treat yourselves to it."

The Village Chief’s wife took the rabbit from Yang Ming’s hand, still saying polite words, "You see yourselves, every time you come, you have to bring something."

"It’s only right."

Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao then followed the Village Chief’s wife into the house, "Village Chief Uncle isn’t home?"

"You two sit for a while, I’ll call him for you." The Village Chief’s wife said, then went out.

Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao had to sit and wait, and soon the Village Chief came into the house, smiling and saying, "What brings you two here this time?"

Every time these two came, it was for something significant, each matter driving progress for their village. Because of this, he hoped to run for the position of the village head this time.

"Village Chief Uncle, we want to buy the mountain behind our village."

"You want to buy the mountain?" The words really surprised the Village Chief. Buying land was already surprising, but to buy a mountain, especially since there’s nothing much on that mountain, did this couple discover some treasure again?

"Well, how is the mountain sold? Is it the whole mountain, or can we buy a portion?" Xiaoxiao asked. If they could buy a portion, it would be great. Just like their family used to lease a portion, around a hundred acres. If the mountain is sold as a whole, it’s too much; it must be a thousand acres.

"To be honest, you have to buy the whole mountain, about twelve hundred acres, because nothing can be done on the mountain, it’s cheaper than fertile land, but even cheaper, it’s still quite expensive for the whole thing."

"Village Chief Uncle, just tell us how much it is." Surely, it can’t be like modern times where you can buy just a portion.

Although unsure if this couple could afford it, the Village Chief still spoke up, "One silver per acre, a total of twelve hundred silver for the whole mountain."

Twelve hundred silver? Xiaoxiao calculated the silver in hand, thankfully, they got silver from the Grand Theater. Luckily, this was just a small hill with only twelve hundred acres; if it were a big mountain, she couldn’t afford it.

But they had to pretend to be in difficulty, "Village Chief Uncle, the price is indeed a bit much to bear, too expensive."

"Oh, yes, but this is already the lowest price, much cheaper than land. If there was leeway, I would help you, but this time, I’m afraid it can only be this price." The Village Chief wasn’t lying; indeed, the price was like that, originally the mountain was hard to sell, and the price was already as low as it could go.

Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao exchanged glances, also realizing it couldn’t be negotiated down, "Village Chief Uncle, when can the land deed be processed?"

"This will take a few days, the government office has been busy visiting households about children recently."

"Alright, whenever it can be processed, Village Chief Uncle, let us know, we’re buying this mountain."

As soon as this was said, the Village Chief was astonished, twelve hundred silver, and they decided to buy just like that? How much silver did their family make?

"Alright, when it’s ready to be processed, I’ll let you know."
