Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 79 Kneeling Down to Beg for the First Slot (7)
Xiaobai twitched his tiger snout and nestled honestly in Feng Xuxu’s arms, while Baihe and Yingsu looked at Feng Xuxu holding what was clearly a little tiger, they were astonished as they stared at the young lady; the lady was indeed unconventional, actually keeping a tiger as a pet. The two of them obediently sheathed their soft swords, but still kept a close watch on Xiaobai, fearing it might harm the young lady.
"Alright, you go and wash up, I’m going back to sleep for a while. Just let me know when Big Brother returns," Feng Xuxu glanced at the still dark sky and went back to catch up on some sleep.
Once inside the house, she closed the door, flashed into her space, and carrying Xiaobai, arrived at the hot spring. Lifting her hand, she tossed Xiaobai in, then Feng Xuxu stood on the shore, watching Xiaobai splashing about in the water, "It’s been several days, and you didn’t come back even when I called you."
After a while, Xiaobai washed off the dust from his body and finally revealed his snow-white fur, swam ashore, shook off the water droplets, and slowly approached Feng Xuxu "Sister Feng, Xiaobai went to Spiritual Mountain the other day, it took me a few days to track down the den of the Golden King. Tonight, I plan to capture it and bring it back."
Feng Xuxu watched Xiaobai with a serious expression, sighed helplessly, got up and picked some fruits for Xiaobai to make up for the lost moisture.
Seeing that Xiaobai had eaten the fruit, she sent him off to rest before she herself left the space. Seeing that it was bright outside, she estimated that her brother should have already reached the town. She sighed again, wondering how the sales went today. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
After getting up and washing, Feng Xuxu ate a little millet porridge with some prepared cucumber on the side. Having finished a small bowl, she then stood up with the maid Yingsu and went to Luo Jiabao’s house, the village chief.
"Uncle Luo, I want to purchase all the land currently in your village, whether they are good fields or wasteland." As soon as Feng Xuxu finished speaking, Luo Jiabao stood up in shock, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Feng Xuxu and asked with a trembling voice, "Miss Feng, the villagers only have this bit of land left, if they lose this land, how will they survive?"
"Uncle Luo, let me explain. For the remaining good fields, I will offer a high price of ten silver per acre, and for the wasteland, it will still be one silver per acre. I can hire men from the village as long-term workers with a monthly wage of one silver. As for the women and unmarried girls, I will unconditionally teach them a skill, and once they have learned, they can come work for me. The wages will be calculated per piece. And for the elderly at home, I will also arrange appropriate work for them that they can handle, of course, they will be paid," Feng Xuxu said in a comprehensive manner, all the while attentively watching the village chief’s expression.
Luo Jiabao pondered for a while. This was not a decision he could make on his own. Such a big matter needed careful consideration as it concerned the survival and destiny of the entire village.
"Miss Feng, how can you prove the authenticity of your words? I must be responsible for the entire village," Luo Jiabao said, looking at Feng Xuxu with his dull eyes.
Seeing the village chief’s concern, Feng Xuxu did not press him, "Uncle Luo, we can sign a contract, and it will be a long-term engagement. As long as they don’t violate the rules and harm the interests of the estate, they can work here indefinitely, even till they are old. And after they retire, the estate will provide each elder with some compensation."
Noticing Luo Jiabao seemed somewhat tempted, Feng Xuxu continued to persuade, "As long as you cooperate with the estate, the estate can build houses for you for free. But, the current land will belong to our estate. We will select a new location and build new houses, of course, without leaving Luo’s village."
Luo Jiabao, with his head bowed, carefully considered what Feng Xuxu had said, "Miss Feng, I must discuss this with the villagers. Whether it is feasible or not, I will come to inform you personally."
Feng Xuxu nodded in agreement. After speaking for a while, she stood up and left. As she got into the carriage, the maid Yingsu, the cold beauty, asked in confusion, "Miss, why not just buy the land and give them a sum of money to move them out of the village?"
