Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 148 Outing (6)
Feng Xuxu watched as each of them stood up, all looking very nervous, and said soothingly, "You don’t need to be so tense, I’ve understood all that you mean. However, wanting to join is not an issue, but you are aware of the conditions, right?"
"We know, we know. You offer a high price for buying land. Then the remaining villagers can work for you, earning one silver tael per person each month, and the remaining village women can learn skills." Village Chief Zhao Wei of Zhao’s village said.
"Right, and if anyone betrays the villa or harms its interests, they will compensate with one hundred thousand silver taels." After Village Chief Zhao finished speaking, someone from Wang’s village immediately added on.
The few who were the slowest to speak turned red with urgency, unable to get a word in at the side.
"Hmm, you’ve spoken well. You’ve all thought this through. If there’s even one person in the village who disagrees, I won’t take you in," Feng Xuxu said with a light smile, looking at the group of village chiefs.
"Agreed, all agreed. Our village has already followed Luo’s village’s example and prepared the guarantee letters," he said, then took out a thick stack of papers from his chest and handed them to Feng Xuxu.
Qiangwei took them and brought them to Feng Xuxu, who briefly scanned the documents, which bore signatures and palm prints.
"Hmm, if all your villagers agree, then pick a day to come and sign the contract together. And bring this guarantee letter with you."
The village chiefs nodded in understanding and then left the villa.
Days went by, and before anyone knew it, early June had arrived.
"Little Xuxu, did you miss me?" Jueqing, clad in a fine silk robe, strolled leisurely over to Feng Xuxu’s side.
Feng Xuxu raised her eyelids to look at the person swaggering in from the gate, then closed her eyes again to continue basking in the sun.
"Don’t you miss me? Don’t you remember last year..." Before Jueqing could finish, a shoe sole flew at him. Jueqing dodged to the side just in time, looking at Feng Xuxu in disbelief.
"You... you... Do you even act like a girl? Doing such ungraceful things, you..." Another shoe sole flew towards Jueqing’s face. He dodged again, pouting his lips and looking at Feng Xuxu with a pitiful expression.
"Xuxu, don’t you remember me?" he said, with teary eyes and a cute pout.
"Who are you? I don’t know you." She gave Jueqing a sideways glance. This guy had vanished for half a year, and now he appeared without a sound—certainly not bearing good news.
"How mean, you actually forgot about me. But no matter, as long as I remember you, that’s enough. From now on, we’ll love each other dearly," he went on shamelessly admitting cheesy lines to Feng Xuxu.
"Yingsu, that man is so annoying. You and Baihe haven’t had a good practice in days; take him for a spin," Feng Xuxu said, reclining leisurely in her armchair, enjoying a two-on-one spectacle. Jueqing dodged back and forth, not daring to strike for fear of angering Feng Xuxu. Although he hadn’t seen her for over half a year, he was aware of all her actions. His cousin was so righteous and never forgot a grudge. Alas, it seemed a great effort was needed to earn her forgiveness.
"Alright, alright, I give up, is that not enough, Xuxu? Call them off, or it might lead to injury," Jueqing said, after practicing with the two maids for a while, trying to please Xuxu. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
But seeing no response from Xuxu, he had to loudly beg for mercy himself.
Feng Xuxu waved her little hand, and the two maids returned to their miss’s side, glaring fiercely at Jueqing, as if they wanted to devour this shameless person.
Dusting off his clothing, Jueqing made himself comfortable next to Feng Xuxu, pulled up a stool, and sat down. He then turned to look at the blissful sunbather, "You’ve done quite well for yourself these past six months, owning all the land in town. Even the county magistrate gives you way. How did you manage that?"
