I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

Chapter 102 Land Exchange Success



Chapter 102 Land Exchange Success

"That piece of land has been taken by someone else. Why don't you go find another place?" The village chief was shameless. How could the land that could make one rich and change one's fate become someone else's land right under his nose?

"I just like that side. If it doesn't work, I'll pay a little more."

The village chief shook his head and said, "No, I promised you this first. Miss Shen, please don't embarrass me. You can go anywhere else in the village that you like."

Shen Ying frowned tightly: "I don't want any other place."

The village chief probably felt guilty, so he took the initiative to mention the piece of land that Shen Ying really liked: "The fortune teller said that piece of land is good, why don't you choose that piece of land, the price can be cheaper."

How much cheaper?

The village chief gritted his teeth and offered a price that was almost free.

After all, it was the land he had already occupied.

You can set your own price or anything.

Shen Ying seemed moved.

The village chief continued: "For this matter, I didn't tell you in advance which lands belonged to you. You can build a fence around the land I mentioned, and I won't charge you more."

"Well, okay, but if that piece of land can be sold, you must tell me." Shen Ying made a concession, but showed hesitation.

The village chief immediately took out the prepared land deed and took Shen Ying to go through the formalities.

After the fingerprint was pressed, Shen Ying obtained the residential land.

The village chief obtained the land which was very humid and unsuitable for building a house.

Although Shen Ying hooked out the village chief's greed and increased the bargaining chips for his own goals.

But he wasn't really so vicious as to stand by and watch the pitiful look on the village chief's face after he bought the land.

The land over there is actually very fertile. The village chief is a bit cunning and greedy, but we will have dealings with them again in the future, and he was just deceiving himself this time.

I was also thinking that I should find a way to give the village chief some compensation and some lasting benefits, otherwise I would feel guilty.

So he deliberately said, "I don't know what other people will do with that piece of land. I'm actually very satisfied with the land over there. When the time comes, I can dig a ditch, dry the pond to consolidate the water and add water, and then raise fish over there!"

Before I could respond, the village chief curiously asked what pond water consolidation and water addition meant.

"I've heard from city folks that drying a pond is to use the sun to kill the dirt in the mud, and consolidating the water is to prevent the pond water from leaking out and causing the houses next door to become too damp or moldy.

Adding water is the last step, adding water, sowing seeds, and then deciding whether to sow water plants to raise ducks or to build a lotus pond to raise fish—" Shen Ying covered her mouth, as if she didn't want to continue.

The village chief chuckled and was not angry. He told Shen Youtian to go to the yamen with him tomorrow.

As for what Shen Ying said, even if he kept it to himself, he would ask someone who knows the matter.

He has been digging in the fields for a living for half his life, so the worst that can happen is that he will try a few more times.

Shen Ying found Qi Yanchuan with a sly smile and gave him the task of digging trenches and laying pipes.

Remuneration, no.

He himself is also a part of the community.

He used one of the two toilets, so of course he had to work there.

To outsiders, it looks like the couple is working hard to build their home.

Before laying the pipeline, Shen Ying sneaked out in the middle of the night and hid in a small courtyard in the bamboo forest with Qi Yanchuan to do something that could not be told to outsiders.

That is...painting white pipes green.

Woo woo woo, they are so tired just to be dug out later and said to be made from special processed bamboo tubes.

After painting all night, Shen Ying's eyelids were swollen, and Qi Yanchuan wasn't much better. The two of them found a room, threw two mattresses together, and slept soundly until noon.

Shen Ying woke up yawning, parked the RV in the yard, and went upstairs to wash up.

The fragrant cross-bridge rice noodles, some side dishes, and steamed buns and fried dough sticks filled the huanghuali wooden table in the living room.

The luxurious way to eat Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles is to put a plate similar to the nine-grid hotpot, with a hole for each side dish, and two plates occupy half of the table.

After waking up, Qi Yanchuan obediently used the shower outside the RV to wash up. After sitting down, he thanked Shen Ying for preparing breakfast before starting to eat.

Shen Ying suddenly thought of a play she had filmed: "I played a role before, a wife in a couple who were in love but not in love. She told her husband that this was the way it was, thanking him for everything he did, but they ended up parting on bad terms."

"Then I won't thank you?"

"No, I like to hear it."

"That's incredible. Drama is drama, life is your own. You can tell me what kind of married life you want to live."

Qi Yanchuan said this seriously.

But Shen Ying said something out of turn. "Is seven times a night okay?"

Qi Yanchuan coughed violently a few times.

Well, that’s not impossible.

The two came out of the yard one after another, and Qi Yanchuan went to find his elder brother, sister-in-law and Sai Yang to help lay the "bamboo tube" pipe.

By the way, I mentioned to my elder brother and sister-in-law whether we should start a small business.

Mrs. Qi was quite clever: "It was my sister-in-law who came up with the idea."

Qi Yanchuan thought to himself, could it be that Shen Ying had informed Mrs. Qi and the others?

"You've been here for how long, and you've never brought up this matter. You've been so close to Shen Ying these past few days, and you just brought up this idea. If it wasn't Shen Ying who suggested it, who else could it be, you?"

You're just a smart-looking wooden block.

Besides, when it comes to business, ten of you can’t match one Shen Ying.

It was because of all the coincidences along the way and your decent face that I was able to get close to Shen Ying.

Mrs. Qi's expression and eyes have already expressed the meaning of this sentence. Qi Yanchuan sighed in his heart. During the time he lived in ancient times, he did realize that he did not have the resources to accumulate and was indeed inferior to Shen Ying in everything.

Moreover, he didn't really get close to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying didn't even leave any rope ladder for him to climb up.

Yes, he admired Shen Ying, and through repeated observations, companionship, and cooperation, he fell in love with this unique and changeable figure.

It seems that she always has a natural optimism. Sometimes you think that it is a Buddhist mentality of taking one step at a time, but when she calculates, she makes you see the scenery three or five steps away from one step.

It's hard for someone to be so close to her and not admire her.

It’s just that his appreciation has deteriorated.

The more favorable his feelings were to him, the more anxious he became.

Apart from the two useless functions of spiritual liquid and the so-called water finding function, he is totally useless.

Even if he could make money, he could also help Shen Ying with some of the chores. All in all, it would be easy for Shen Ying to find another man like this.

Love is sometimes also competition.

What else can he do to increase his competitiveness?

Qi Yanchuan felt the distress of love for the first time, but he was also clearly aware that the gap between him and Shen Ying was not small.

If it were in modern times, he would gather his assets together, strengthen himself and provide assistance to Shen Ying.

If he could go back to the modern era, he could push Shen Ying to a higher position and let her go further.

Why is he blind and heartless in modern times!
