I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 138 I Didn’t Underestimate You

Bai Jingzhou looked back at Gu Wenxuan, "Half of the original capital we used to buy the farm belongs to you. When we grow cotton and lotus roots in the future, you will be the main contributor."

Gu Wenxuan smiled, "There are farmers. Even if I contribute, how much can I contribute? As for the half of the original capital I contributed, can't you just give me half of the future profits of the farm?"

She and Bai Jingzhou each contributed half of the money, so it was only natural that they should split the profits equally.

Bai Jingzhou hesitated to speak.

Gu Wenxuan's eyes were gentle, and she said, "Don't underestimate me. Even in this feudal society where men are superior to women, you have to believe that I have the ability to live a good life."

So what if the map has changed and she is unfamiliar with the place? So what if the new social environment is not friendly to women? She is a strong person, and she is a strong person wherever she goes.

She is not afraid of sudden changes in environment and situation, because as long as she is given a little time, she can quickly turn the tide.

Bai Jingzhou was silent for a moment, "I didn't underestimate you."

I just want to use my wings, which are not yet fully grown, to shield you from the injustice and malice of this world, and to give you more confidence to walk through the world with your head held high.

"Then it's settled." Gu Wenxuan smiled as she walked towards the house they rented. "The credit goes to you, and we'll split the profits in half."

Bai Jingzhou followed, "Okay."

It was said that each of them got half, but in fact, all of their private money was placed in a cave in the small valley, and Bai Jingzhou also signed all the house deeds and land deeds in Gu Wenxuan's name.

Gu Wenxuan had previously asked Bai Jingzhou why her name was written entirely on the deed.

Bai Jingzhou did not explain, but directly asked, "You won't keep it all for yourself anyway, so what difference does it make whether I write your name or mine?"

Gu Wenxuan thought about it and felt that there really was no difference, so she didn't worry about it any further.

"By the way, Uncle Wang said that he has found some properties for us and asked us when it would be convenient for us to go to the county town." On the way back, Bai Jingzhou suddenly remembered this and told it to Gu Wenxuan.

Gu Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it today."

It just so happened that they had not yet had time to return the five hundred taels of gold that Mu Hanzhi refused to accept yesterday to the cave. Together with the gold that they had not spent before, it should be enough for them to buy four or five more farms, shops or houses.

The two of them did what they said. After saying hello to Gu Yongming and others, they rented a horse carriage and went directly to the county town.

After spending most of the day inspecting the site, the two men finally bought another shop located on the same street as theirs.

The layout of the shop was almost exactly the same as the one they had bought before, and the price was only twenty taels more expensive than the previous one.

Considering that this shop did have a better location, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou did not mind the extra twenty taels that the seller asked for.

In addition to this shop, the two bought a three-courtyard house next to the bustling street area in the south city, which was quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. The house was beautifully built, and there was a well in the front yard and the second yard, and there was also a well-maintained small garden in the third yard.

Gu Wenxuan liked this house very much, because even if her family and Bai Jingzhou's family all came to the county town together, this house could accommodate them all.

She said to Bai Jingzhou: "After the Chinese New Year, we can bring our family to the county town to celebrate the Lantern Festival and visit the Lantern Festival."

As soon as Bai Jingzhou heard it, he understood why she wanted to buy the house. After a brief negotiation over the price, they bought the house.

As for the two farms that the broker Wang Tai found for them, one of them was good in almost every aspect: large in area, fertile soil, water source for irrigation, beautifully built houses, and located close to the county town... The only bad thing was that all the previous owners of this farm had a bad ending.

Wang Tai didn't make it clear, but who was Bai Jingzhou? Wang Tai hinted a few words, and he immediately understood why the manor had changed hands several times.

To put it simply, this farm was simply put out by some people to fish. They would instruct the middleman to select the buyer according to their requirements, and then after a certain sucker bought the farm, they would use all kinds of despicable means to force the other party to sell the farm back to them at a bargain price of half selling, half giving away.

During the process of buying and selling, they could make a lot of money every time by relying on this farm.

The brokers may not notice anything once or twice, but after many times, they will all know that there is something fishy about the transactions in this bank. However, not all brokers are like Wang Tai, who has his own bottom line and conscience.

Even if many brokers know that the village is a scam, they will pretend that they have discovered nothing.

So this manor cheated many people who were unaware of the situation time and time again.

As more and more people were cheated, the news naturally leaked out. Those who wanted to buy the farm would basically deliberately avoid this farm, even the broker who sold the farm.

There was no other way, so the original owner of the manor had to turn his attention to other brokers, such as Wang Tai.

Wang Tai didn't dare to offend the other party, so he could only take the order with a smile, but he didn't want to cheat his customers, so he would always give some subtle suggestions every time.

Wang Tai was not worried that the farm would fall into his hands and the other party would be dissatisfied with him. After all, the farm was well-known and the brokers the other party had found before were all unable to sell it, so it was not surprising if Wang Tai could not sell it.

In addition to this farm that was used to make up the number, he also looked for another farm next to Xiaoyang Village.

The farm has a total of one hundred acres of land, with canals extending in all directions, which can directly draw river water from outside the farm for irrigation. There is also a slightly old small house with two entrances.

It just so happened that Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan had also bought a farm near Xiaoyangzhuang. The two farms were almost next to each other, which would make it convenient for Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan to manage them in the future.

In addition, apart from being far from the county town, the farm has no other disadvantages. Wang Tai believes that Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou will definitely be satisfied.

Sure enough, after seeing the farm, the two decided to buy it immediately.

Wang Tai made three business deals at once, and his income for the day was not small at all. He happily took Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan to the county government office to get the red deed.

This time, because Gu Wenxuan was watching closely, Bai Jingzhou signed his name on the deed as she wished.

By this point, they already had two shops, two houses, and three farms. Anyone who knew about this would say that they were indeed small landlords.

It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate distinction, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou named the three small farms Dongbaizhuang, Beiyangzhuang and Nanyangzhuang according to their geographical locations. Nanyangzhuang is the small farm with one hundred acres of land that they had just bought.
