Chapter 70 The Abacus is clacking
What she didn't say was that her father didn't buy a mountain for her and her eldest brother, but that the mountain deed was a dowry for her.
It seems that before her father went to serve in the army, he had prepared a plan that he would never come back. Now he even prepared a dowry for her. As for her eldest brother, his father probably meant that the boy should be raised. Yes, you have to rely on yourself to get a wife and have children.
"Which mountain?" Lin Changhong asked immediately.
"The barren hills behind our house." Lin Caisang thought for a while and said.
She couldn't understand what was written on the mountain deed. It was not that she was illiterate, but that she didn't know where the east or west of what was written was.
But what her father told her before was the one at the back of the house...
"What a barren mountain!"
Lin Changhong's eyes widened even more.
"Sangsang, do you know? The barren hills behind our house are at least three hundred acres."
More than 300 acres of mountainous land, calculated at one tael of silver per acre, is more than 300 taels. If you exclude some that can be reduced or reduced, it will be a minimum of 300 taels of silver.
And the mountain land is in their hands, 300 acres, and they have to pay taxes.
But in the past four years, no one has come to urge their family to pay the deed to the mountain land. It can be seen that Dad has paid all the taxes in the past few years.
Although the food delivered in the mountains will be much less, it is still money. That is, three hundred taels of silver is not enough. Is their father making a fortune outside? You can actually buy Manghuang Mountain in one fell swoop!
"Isn't dad going to Luo cliff to collect bird's nests?" he guessed.
Everyone who collects bird's nests knows that Luo cliff is a place with the most canaries, but no matter how many canaries there are, no one dares to go there to collect bird's nests.
Because people are afraid of death.
If his father had really gone to Luojiebi to collect bird's nests before, it would really be possible to save so much money in one go and buy Manghuang Mountain.
"Maybe. I was still young at that time. I don't know where my father earned the money." Lin Caisang said.
"You said before that there is still something to do. Is this the matter?" Lin Changhong asked.
There are very few trees in the Manghuang Mountain. It is a barren mountain with only weeds. If you really want to clean it up, it is not difficult, but if you want to grow food on the 300 acres of mountain land, it will take a lot of time. It's definitely not enough for their family alone.
"Tomorrow morning, you take me to the mountain to have a look first. I will make plans after seeing it." Lin Caisang said.
"good."
Lin Changhong responded.
If it were possible to grow food in the mountains, that would be great. It would be much better than spending money to buy food every day as a family, right?
He also felt that the mountains should be reclaimed.
…
The next morning, when they came back from visiting Menghuang Mountain, everyone in the family knew that before Lin Baizhong left home, he left more than 300 acres of mountain land for his children.
Lin Laogan held the mountain deed in his hand, looked at it again and again, and then glanced at Sangsang.
"Grandpa, is this true? Uncle really left us three hundred acres of mountain land? Then we don't have to go hungry this year?" Lin Caihe is always the first to jump out.
I heard that there are so many mountainous areas. Even if you grow a little something, you won't go hungry, right?
"What's the matter with you? Just stand aside." Lin Baiyi glared at the eldest daughter.
"Dad, I'm so happy. My uncle is so awesome. He has left so much land for us. Not only growing food, but even selling it, we can get a lot of money, right? My eldest brother will definitely have enough money to go to the provincial capital to take the exam. ”
Lin Caihe was still excited, and the calculations in his heart were crackling.
