Chapter 148 The fight started
When they saw the land bought by Grandma Li, everyone who had bought land there regretted it.
The terrain here is obviously higher and much flatter than the previous place.
The most important thing is that the land here doesn't seem to be sandy, but harder yellow soil.
They didn't know much about building houses, but they knew that the stronger the foundation, the better.
"Village chief, can we also buy land here?" Yue Niang's second sister-in-law asked with a little regret.
Mai Dong snorted, "Of course not. The land here has already been bought."
Yue Niang's second sister-in-law bit her lip and looked at Yue Niang with regret and envy.
Ever since Yue Niang got together with Shen Yitian, her life has been getting better and better.
Look at the journey of exile. Not only did she and that bastard Fuguier not lose weight, they even gained a lot of fat on their faces.
Even Daya's family, who were on good terms with Yue Niang, were not particularly craving meat.
In contrast, she and her children were so thin that they almost looked unrecognizable.
As soon as Shen Yitian and the others arrived, Grandma Li came out to greet them.
Seeing Shen Yitian looking so exhausted, Grandma Li felt heartbroken.
"Xiao Wei, quickly bring a chair for the young lady to sit on. Shengsheng, prepare some hot tea to help the young lady relieve her fatigue."
As soon as Shen Yitian sat down, Grandma Li started running around, fearing that she had not taken good care of her.
Others were not surprised by Grandma Li's attitude. After all, everyone had seen Grandma Li on the street and knew that she was a servant of the Shen family.
But the village chief Maidong was different. He didn't know the relationship between the two people and thought they were relatives.
When he saw her being so respectful to Shen Yitian, and thought of his previous repeated rebuttals to Shen Yitian, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
When they came to buy the land that day, Grandma Li was accompanied by several strong men, and the confidant sent by the county magistrate was also very polite to Grandma Li.
He could tell at that time that this lady must be rich and powerful.
I never thought such a wealthy and powerful lady would be just a servant of this female prisoner...
"Miss, I've rented a yard in the village. You can live there until the house here is built. Shengsheng will follow you, and Xiaowei will go there too. I'll just keep an eye on things here."
Although we arrived many days ahead of schedule, building a house is not a matter of one day or one night. Especially if you want to live comfortably, it takes more time and effort.
Grandma Li made arrangements in advance, fearing that the yard would not be ready when Shen Yitian arrived, so she rented another yard in the village first.
There are quite a few empty courtyards in Maoer Village, most of which were left behind by previously exiled prisoners.
Some of these prisoners were pardoned, some were rehabilitated, but more...still died in this place of exile.
Grandma Li made careful inquiries and didn't want any property that had a history of sudden death in the courtyard.
Finally, I chose a small but very clean yard, which was a little close to the village.
With the magistrate's confidant around, Maidong didn't dare to ask for an exorbitant price.
Hearing that Grandma Li had already made arrangements, Shen Yitian nodded, and then told her about asking Yue Niang, Song Wanshi and others to build houses here as well.
"Grandma, you can charge them according to the same calculation as you paid for the land, or you can rent it out. It's up to you. But Yue Niang doesn't have to pay." Shen Yitian explained.
After hearing what she said, Grandma Li understood what was going on.
"Okay, miss, don't worry, I will arrange it." Grandma Li replied with a smile, and asked Xiao Wei and Shengsheng to take Shen Yitian back to the yard she rented to rest.
Upon hearing this, Yue Niang and Song Wanshi hurried over to thank Grandma Li, and then thanked Shen Yitian.
We were talking back and forth, it was very lively.
Maidong felt a little embarrassed when he saw them talking to themselves and no one wanted to pay attention to him.
But the embarrassment was only for a moment, and he turned around and directed his anger at the prisoners who had nothing to do but join in the fun.
"What are you all standing there for? You still have the mind to watch the fun. Do you know that you should hand in your catch starting from today?" He narrowed his eyes and sneered at everyone.
The prisoners were still amazed at the house built by the Shen family, but when they heard Mai Dong's words, they were immediately furious again.
"What? We have to turn in our catch today? But we don't even have a house or a boat. We don't know how to do anything. How are we supposed to fish?"
"That's right. I don't even have a place to get food, so how can I have the energy to fish?"
"Shut up, everyone." Maidong's head hurt from their noise, and he shouted.
"You still have the energy to come here and watch the fun. I knew you could hand over your catch. Don't just stand there. It's too late to teach you how to fish today. Pack up and settle down for the night. Someone will take you fishing tomorrow morning."
Maidong left after saying this, not caring at all about the prisoners' screams and cries.
He had to go back quickly and think about how to repair his relationship with Shen Yitian.
After all, Mrs. Li looks very rich. If I have a good relationship with them, I might be able to get some benefits from them in the future.
After Maidong left, the prisoners who were howling in agony thought that crying was useless, so they watched for a while and then hurried back to the land they had bought.
The rest of Yue Niang and the others were waiting here for Grandma Li to arrange where to build their house.
After walking for a whole day, Shen Yitian was indeed very tired, so she followed Shengsheng and the others to the yard rented by Grandma Li.
No matter how big the matter is, we have to wait until she has a good sleep and wakes up before we can talk about it.
The next day, she woke up to a loud noise.
Sheng Shengxing hurried over to tell her that the prisoners who had bought the land and were planning to build houses had started arguing.
Shen Yitian hadn't even had breakfast, so she had no interest in watching all this excitement.
But when she heard that Yue Niang's second sister-in-law and eldest sister-in-law were arguing, she wanted to go and see.
In my impression, Sister Yue Niang is a person who rarely meddles in other people's affairs, and she will not take the initiative to provoke others.
But Yue Niang's second sister-in-law is fierce and unreasonable, and always wants to take advantage of others.
Of course, she didn't want to favor anyone, she just wanted to go and take a look.
Who knew that when she arrived, the two women had already started fighting.
Probably because they hadn't slept all night, they both looked very haggard, but they were still pulling each other's hair and cursing at each other.
Er Niang's child was crying anxiously beside her, while Daya led her younger brothers and sisters to try to stop the fight.
However, Shen Yitian felt that whether the attempt to stop the fight was a serious one was debatable.
After all, when she was trying to stop the fight, she accidentally scratched her second aunt and then accidentally stepped on her foot.
But she still held her second aunt's hand tightly, and even her hand that was pulling Daya's hair was pried off by Daya one by one.
The originally evenly matched fight almost turned into a one-sided brawl due to her mediation.
