Chapter 15

There has always been a lot of gossip in the village, but no one is optimistic about the Ming family. Even if they hear them ridiculing Mingxiu like this, no one wants to help.

Although Mingxiu has been busy opening up wasteland these days, he still hasn't forgotten about going to the mountains to collect goods. When he passes by people in the village, he will always hear one or two gossips.

Mingxiu was indeed angry at first, but as time went by, she became less angry.

After all, Mingxiu was a graduate student in agriculture in his previous life. Even though he didn't have much practical experience, he just improved the land quality of two acres of land so that they could grow ordinary vegetables. This didn't take much effort and was completed in a few days.

"We can go collect some vegetable seeds now."

Planting can start in another month. As for the harvest time, which is already late autumn, Mingxiu is not worried about whether it will reduce production.

At this time, the quality of the land in Tubao Village is much better than Mingxiu thought. Even if the soil is not fertilized now, some common vegetables can still be grown, but the yield will not be very good.

After Mingxiu's conditioning, these fields are no different from ordinary vegetable fields.

Ming's father and mother knew as early as when Mingxiu was making early preparations that it might not be Xie Zhan who knew how to fatten the land, but their daughter.

However, both of them were soft-tempered, and after a few tentative questions, Mingxiu put them off, so they stopped asking any more questions.

The couple has been farming for a lifetime, so they naturally know whether the land is good or bad. They also know that the land that has been conditioned by Mingxiu is no longer wasteland.

Although there is still a gap between it and fertile farmland, if we cultivate it for a while this winter, and then plant some beans and cultivate them tomorrow next year, it will be almost the same.

In other words, they may be able to cultivate the land in one year. How great a good thing is this?

Ming's father even regretted it. If he had known it earlier, he would have believed that his daughter would have opened more acres of land.

Now even if they want to add more fertilizer, it is too late, not to mention whether they can find so much fertilizer. Even if there is, Mingxiu plans to plant vegetables in the ground next month, and at least Mingmu will help.

To open up land, the family's labor force is really not enough.

No one wanted to ask Xie Zhan to work in the fields.

When wild land is opened, it is difficult to obtain land deeds.

Originally, Mingxiu didn't think there was any difficulty. After all, the yamen said that the land that was opened was his own, and he could just apply for the title deed within one year after it was opened.

Because there is no need to pay tax when driving out of the wild, most people will choose to do it almost a year after driving out, that is, after the tax payment date has passed. This can save another year's tax, although it is not much.

, but for ordinary people, this much food is enough to feed a person.

But Mingxiu didn't think so.

She was well aware of the situation of her family in Tubao Village. If she didn't get the land deed as soon as possible, someone would come up and seize it within a few days.

Even the land that already belongs to their family and has the title deed can come and rob it. Is there anything that the villagers can't do?

Regardless of whether it is Mingxiu's villain's heart or not, this matter must be done.

But the village chief kept delaying it. Even if Ming's father came to urge him, he always used the excuse that his family was busy with affairs and it would take a few days before he could go to the county government office with Ming's father.

After three or two visits, even Ming's father honestly knew that the village chief was deliberately making things difficult.

Recalling that Li Guangsheng went out a few days ago, what else Mingxiu can't figure out?

She really didn't understand, even if she had been engaged to Li Guangcheng before, but now they were divorced, why did Li Guangcheng still make things so difficult for her family?

Mingxiu was somewhat aware of the village chief's temperament. After being pushed around for nearly half a month, she gritted her teeth and cut two kilograms of meat from the butcher's house and gave it to him with the fabric originally intended for Ming's father to make clothes.

"Dad, please come and talk to the village chief again. Just say that our house will be renovated soon. It's not good to delay the land deed matter. Our family is not good at evading taxes. In order to make it in time for next autumn harvest, please ask the village chief.

Please help me."

The advantage of having a larger population in the village than the village chief is not only because of the prestige when going out, but also because of the regulations of the imperial court. Every year, a very small part of the village's taxes will fall into the hands of the village chief. It is also because of this that,

The village chief's life is particularly easy compared to other people's lives.

Although there is no rank, the village chief can be considered an official.

Although the additional tax revenue from their family would fall into the village chief's pocket, it would only be a few cents more per year, but mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are.

Father Ming nodded, took something and tried it again.

"It is appropriate to leave the land deed to the village chief. He can get a lot of benefits from it, so why do you need to give gifts?" Xie Zhan frowned slightly. Even if the land deed is not completed this year, the village chief will always do it next year.

They will come to urge you.

"The nights are long and the dreams are many." Mingxiu was helpless. The situation of her family in the village could be said to be that everyone could step on her. It was obviously not her fault last time, but the family next door could still forcefully put it on her head.

However, Ming's father and Ming's mother are soft...

Eh...

"Are you going to let your parents be humiliated in vain again?"

Xie Zhan obviously also thought about what happened last time. Although it had nothing to do with him, it was an injustice that happened in front of him after all. Xie Zhan's face was still a little ugly.

But he believed that as long as Mingxiu was willing, no one in this village could bully Ming's father and mother.

"Nothing is absolute. How can I still stay by my parents' side all the time?" Mingxiu is not optimistic. Living here, she has to stay vigilant all the time. "Even if I can always accompany you, I can't help you."

There is strength in numbers, so what can I do?”

After all, Mingxiu is just a little girl who has no power to restrain a chicken.
