The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

   Chapter 67 Be careful I knock on the door in the middle of the night

   "Aren't you crazy? After you circle the mountain, you can eat it by yourself?"

   "I've seen a fool, but I've never seen a fool like this. Don't you think that Zhao Chuchu after the plague is ruthless, like a ghost."

   "What nonsense in the daytime, afraid of coming to you in the middle of the night?"

  …

   Zhao Chuchu turned his head and smiled slightly: "Yes, I am a lonely ghost now, say this in front of me, be careful I knock on the door in the middle of the night."

   Even though she smiled beautifully, it made the villagers feel cold for no reason.

   As if she was really a ghost and would capture their souls.

  Some people who had bullied the original owner were guilty and slipped away quietly.

   Zhao Chuchu looked at the bottom of his eyes, and the corners of his lips drew a mocking arc.

  The old lady Chen, who came after him, scolded: "What are you talking about? What's the matter, the recipes sold to you are sold for nothing? Why don't you die and eat your souls directly?

   All of them are ungrateful white-eyed wolves, and I don’t know how many bad things they have done to get what they want and look like. Be careful when thunder strikes you white-eyed wolves! "

  These people did not dare to say a word when they were scolded, because they were afraid of Zhao Chuchu.

   Seeing the gray-haired and small old lady Chen protecting her like this, Zhao Chuchu felt warm in her heart.

  There are still many good people, not all of them are as disgusting as some people.

   "Grandma Chen, don't worry about them, you can say whatever you like, I don't care." Zhao Chuchu grabbed Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, "You child, how do you buy a mountain? What can you grow in this mountain? Just reclaiming wasteland is enough for you to toss. How long do you have to drive such a big mountain before you can harvest? Three years? You'll have to pay taxes later, don't you know?"

   "I know it." Zhao Chuchu didn't want to explain.

   She has seen the mountain she wants to buy, and it's perfectly fine to grow some sweet potatoes or something.

   Old lady Chen saw that Zhao Chuchu insisted, she sighed and did not persuade any more.

   Zhao Chuchu said to her, "Grandma Chen, today, you and auntie have to help me get lunch. I can't let the official messenger go all the way and not even eat."

"to make."

   Zhao Chuchu took out a piece of silver or two from her purse: "Buy me a chicken and duck to slaughter. Let's see who can fish in the fish pond and cook some other dishes."

   Chickens and ducks cost about 200 cents a pound, fish meat is about 20 cents a pound, and vegetables are worthless, a few cents a pound.

   A tael of silver can make a table that is not bad for the farmers.

   Mrs. Chen accepted the money, and before leaving, she did not forget to tell Zhao Chuchu: "Save the money and use it, don't buy it if you can't buy so much, there are really no mountains!"

   Zhao Chuchu nodded and agreed, whether to buy it or not is another matter.

  The top of the mountain is not high, it is a small hill to the lofty mountains behind the village, but it is enough for her.

   Several yamen officers knew that Zhao Chuchu had quelled the plague, and they also wanted to please Zhao Chuchu, so it only took one morning to measure the mountains.

   "The food has been prepared, the officials sent the elder brothers to have lunch before leaving." Zhao Chuchu said to the crowd.

   "How does this make it?"

   "It still takes two hours to go back to the city. If you don't eat, do you want to go back hungry? I have already prepared it for you. If you don't eat, our family will only have three people, how can we finish it?"

   "Eat first, and then go back for business."

  Niu Tongsheng also helped to persuade.

   Several officials saw this and climbed the mountain all morning. In fact, they were hungry, so they didn't shirk any more and went back to Xie's house together.

   Passing through the place where the Zhao clan lived, all the doors were closed, and they did not dare to come out to make trouble.

   I was afraid that Zhao Chuchu would give these yamen the confession and arrest them.
