Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
Slowly, everyone was starting to realize that they could have a good harvest on the barren land.
They had long thought that everyone would discover this sooner or later.
“This has never happened before. It should be because of the seeds. In the future, our family will only buy seeds from that shop. The seeds in that shop are really good.
“If it wasn’t for my son working in the Xue family’s workshop and getting paid every day, our family would not be able to live like this. We only said that we would sell the land to them if we needed money in the future.
“Now that we can have a good harvest on the barren land, the money we earn can cover our rent. Since that was the case, we won’t have to sell it to the Xue family. We will keep it for our own family to grow our crops.
“Things like land could also be passed down to their descendants in the future. Wouldn’t that help my descendants in the future? When the weather gets cooler, I want to open up more barren land. Maybe we won’t have to rent land from Landlord Feng in the future.
“We can live on the farmland that our family opened up and won’t be poor anymore,” Xiulan said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other and smiled; they had already expected this.
It was also because of this that they had made their family agree to the village chief’s request.
“Isn’t that so?” An aunt quickly took over the conversation.
“Everyone is talking about this now. Who would have thought that such a good harvest could be produced on a barren land? If we had known earlier, we wouldn’t have sold it to that family for two silver. At that time, two silver felt like a lot. Now, it doesn’t sum up anything. Many people regretted it.
“However, everyone also understood that it was all thanks to them that we can make a living now. Some people were so poor back then. They sold their barren land and earned some money. They lived a much better life than before.
“Since there was a good harvest on the barren land, they could just continue to open up the barren land. Now that they know the harvest would be bountiful, wouldn’t they earn more money in the future if they didn’t sell the land?
“If the Xue family hadn’t said that back then, many villagers would have no future here. Isn’t it because of them that we now have a way to make money? In the future, we’ll have even more prospects. With this harvest, I don’t think we’ll go hungry again.” The aunt said.
“I agree. Look, some people have a large family. In the first half of the year, they opened up a lot of acres of barren land. Before they could sell it to the Xue family, such a thing happened. Those people won’t sell it now. They will leave it for their families to grow more crops. If it weren’t for the Xue family, why would they work so hard to open up barren land in the first place? How could they have so much barren land to grow now?”
“That’s right, that’s right.” The other aunties echoed.
Then, another aunt said, “Isn’t this a little unfair to the Xue family? They said at that time that if we were willing to sell it, they would buy it. Now, most of us don’t want to sell it. In the end, we benefited the most from it.”
“This is the conscience of a rich family.” Xiulan sighed. “If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
“Yes, yes. That is true.” Everyone nodded.
“I think someone has already gone to look for the village chief,” an aunt said. “He was too embarrassed to tell Dafu, he wanted to ask the village chief to tell him that he wouldn’t sell his barren land in the future.”
