Then, Chief Lu signed his name on the document and stamped his thumbprint on it, agreeing to sell the two acres of barren land in his house. The heads of the other three families were illiterate and couldn’t sign their names, so they all stamped their thumbprints to express their agreement to sell the one acre of barren land to the Xue family.

Chief Lu took the document in his hand, then took out the title deed for the two acres of barren land owned by his family, and the one acre of land owned by the three families, but he was not in a hurry to pass it to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.

Instead, he took out ten pieces of silver from Xue Yan’s pocket and gave four pieces to Chief Lu, while the other three families each received two pieces. Only then did Chief Lu pass the document and the title deed to Xue Yan.

Xue Yan passed it to Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue had read the document when she was grinding the ink, and there was no problem. Every word was watertight, and every word was carefully worded. Even if they wrangled, they would not have to be afraid of the authorities.

The title deed was even less of a problem. It was stamped with the official seal, so no one would dare to fake it.

The people in this village didn’t have the technology to fake it.

Those people received their two silver. They had never received so much silver in one go before, and they couldn’t help but be happy.

Chief Lu had clearly gotten four silver, which would take him two to three years to save up, but he was not that happy. When his wife was overjoyed and wanted to reach out to touch the four silver, he glared at her. His wife immediately retracted her hand and did not dare to reach out again.

It was obvious that he was not happy with what his wife had said.

Jiang Yue noticed it but didn’t say anything. She passed the title deed for five acres of land and the document to Xue Yan.

Seeing that the words on the document had dried up, Xue Yan folded it carefully and put it in his pocket together with the title deed. When he returned, he would give it to his mother.

Someone saw Xue Yan’s expression and couldn’t help but give praise, “In the future, no matter what Dafu’s family does, they don’t have to come. Xue Yan can do it. Look, Xue Yan is so capable.”

Chief Lu chuckled. “He’s truly capable indeed. I’ve been chief for so many years, but I’m not as good at writing as he is. If he wasn’t so young, I would have made him chief instead.”

Of course, the latter part of his sentence was a joke.

Everyone did not take it seriously.

Xue Yan naturally didn’t take it seriously either.

On the other hand, Jiang Yue felt that even if Chief Lu had the intention and had taken action, Xue Yan would not be Chief Lu. Xue Yan didn’t want to be an official in this life, so why would he want to be a chief?

After leaving the chief’s house, Jiang Yue said, “Let’s go back and give the remaining silver, documents, and land deeds to your mother. Then, let’s go and take a look at the five acres of barren land we just bought.”

After Xue Dafu left, Liu Guixia gave Xue Yan 11 silver. She was afraid that they didn’t have enough money. They only spent 10 silver on the barren land and had one silver left. Naturally, they would give it back to Liu Guixia.

“Alright,” he said. Xue Yan had no opinion.

However, after taking two steps, he ran into a dark-skinned woman in her forties with a hoe in her left hand and a bucket in her right hand.

The woman was also dressed in coarse clothes.

Seeing the woman, Xue Yan stopped and called out, “Hello, second aunt.”

Jiang Yue was a little surprised. She knew that Xue Yan had a Xue Dahua, but she had stayed in the village for a few days and had never heard of him. She thought he didn’t live in this village, but they managed to bump into his wife.

The woman only responded with a faint mumble. Then, as if she didn’t see the two of them, she walked past them like they were strangers.
