Chapter 88: Buying Land

When her broken furniture was mentioned by the carpenters, Old Lady Bai became very annoyed.

As soon as the few carpenters saw the old lady’s distorted face, they left in a hurry.

Looking at her house that was in a mess, Old Lady Bai’s heart felt at lost and empty.

Bai Dabao entered the big house and went outside again. Then, he said to Old Lady Bai: “Grandmother, the pots and bowls are all broken, how are we going to eat today?”

“Eat? Is that all the thing you know? Why don’t you hurry and clean up the house instead, huh?” When Mrs. Liu saw her mother-in-law’s face was not good, she hurriedly pulled her son away.

After Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan left the Bai Family, they directly went to Hu Changlin’s house.

Bai Zhi had already discussed this issue with Hu Changlin in advanced. That once they separated from the Bai Family, they will borrow their cabin for a while.

So, when Hu Changlin saw them coming in with their belongings, he immediately came forward and grinned: “Success?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head and said: “Success, we are now separated from the Bai Family. We no longer have any relationship with them.”

Hu Changlin sighed: “That’s good, that’s good, now they can’t beat you two again.”

At this time, Village Chief Li, who passed by Hu Changlin’s house, saw Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan standing in the courtyard. So, he also went inside and asked Zhao Lan: “Zhao Lan, what are you planning to do now?”

Zhao Lan has many plans, but now, she only listens to her daughter. She follows every plan she made.

Zhao Lan shook her head: “Don’t ask me Chief, you should ask Zhi’er, she already has plans.”

Village Chief Li raise an eyebrow and look at Bai Zhi: “Zhi’er, let’s talk about it. What are you two girls planning in the future?”

Bai Zhi was actually planning to look for Village Chief Li to discuss this matter, but now that he’s here, it saves her a lot of time.

“Li Bo, we don’t have a place to live. We can only live in Hu Bo’s cabin house for now, but we can’t always live here. We want to have our own lot. I don’t know if you can help us find a good place”

Village Chief Li knew a lot of vacant land in the village, but he can’t just give it away easily.

Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi were considered to be people in the Huangtou Village. They were now separated from the Bai Family, so it is only reasonable to want to have their own place. However, if they want to have their own lot, they have to pay a necessary amount of tax in the government.

Seeing Village Chief Li’s embarrassing face, Bai Zhi immediately added: “I don’t want to deceive Li Bo, I was able to dig out medicinal herbs a few days ago. Lu Dafu help me to sell them in the town. Although it’s not much, it’s enough to let us buy a lot.”

As soon as Village Chief Li heard this, he couldn’t help but smile: “This girl, it seems you have been prepared. I was worried about your mother and child, but it seems I shouldn’t have to worry about anything.”

Bai Zhi laughed and said: “No need to worry. But, if there are no good people around us like Li Bo and Hu Bo, I’m sure we will be very sad in the future.”

“By the way, we’re not just planning to buy a lot, but also a field. Even if we have a house, if there is no field, we can’t live a good life in the future.”

Village Chief Li nodded his head: “There is no problem. There are lots and fields available. I will talk to the officials to reduce the price as much as possible, so things will get easier.”

Village Chief Li then looked at Zhao Lan’s hand and said: “But, didn’t Lu Dafu said Zhao Lan cannot do a heavy work anymore? If you bought a field, you will have to work on your own, can you do it alone?”
