<h4>Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Buying the Depressed Land</h4>


    Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming followed the Vige Chief to look at the lond plot. Along the way, Xiaoxiao worried about Yang Ming walking too far, "Husband, are you tired?"


    In front of the Vige Chief, Yang Ming awkwardly smiled and felt a bit embarrassed; a grown man being asked if he was tired, "Not tired."


    The three of them arrived at the lond. Xiaoxiao looked over the area; it seemed like thend hadn’t been farmed in a long time, quite neglected. It didn’t look very low-lying either. If during the rainy season there’s a lot of water, we couldpletely solve it by digging canals.


    Most importantly, the price was half off. Xiaoxiao excitedly said to Yang Ming, "Husband, let’s buy this piece ofnd."


    Yang Ming hadn’t expected that after seeing this piece ofnd, his wife would really want to buy it. Thend’s yield was truly very poor. Could his wife have seen something he hadn’t?


    He pulled his wife to the side and asked quietly, "Wife, do you think this piece ofnd is okay? Did you notice anything?"


    "..." Actually, she didn’t know whether it was good or not because she had never farmed. When she was a child, her family farmed, but she never worked in the fields, though she knew a bit of the theory.


    "I didn’t notice anything." This was truly the case; she didn’t know how to evaluate it. She just wanted to know where thisnd was and whether it was far from home.


    "..." How did she take a liking to thisnd without noticing anything, "Wife, do you know how to farm?"


    "No."


    "..." He thought as much. His wife was too delicate, unlike a farmer.


    "Perhaps we should think this over; this really isn’t goodnd."


    "Husband, let’s just buy thisnd. Maybe we’ll be lucky and won’t encounter a year with heavy rain. Even if there are rainy years, then we can dig ditches to redirect the water."


    "..." Was this relying on luck for food?


    However, his wife’s suggestion about digging ditches to redirect the water was something no one had tried before. If it really could drain the water, thend might indeed be worth buying.


    Perhaps their luck wouldn’t be that bad. Seeing that his wife really wanted to buy, Yang Ming agreed. If they really did buynd that yielded nothing, he would apologize to the family.


    The Vige Chief was waiting on the side. He had no hope at all; it was a terrible piece ofnd, obviously visible to anyone. No one would buy it.


    But if it really got sold, it would greatly benefit him. The plot was a hot potato. If he could get rid of it, it would certainly count as a feather in his cap. He neither wanted Yang Ming to buy it nor hoped it could be sold.


    Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao approached the Vige Chief, "Uncle Vige Chief, we’ve decided to buy this plot ofnd."


    The Vige Chief was shocked to hear this but didn’t want to cheat them and reminded them again, "Yang Ming, you better think this through, this isn’t goodnd."


    "Yes, we’ve thought it through. But, Uncle Vige Chief, since thisnd is so poor, could you lower the price a bit, how about 100 silver notes? If we don’t buy it, no one else will."


    Upon hearing they really wanted to buy, the Vige Chief became somewhat excited; it was after all a hot potato, "Yang Ming, like this, tomorrow I’ll report this to the government office and see if we can lower the price."


    "That would be a great help, Uncle Vige Chief."


    The next day, the Vige Chief showed up, thend deal went through. The thirty-acre lond was purchased for 100 silver notes. They received thend deed, and the Vige Chief, with 100 silver notes in hand, left Yang Ming’s home beaming. He truly had not expected the Yang family to be so wealthy, casually taking out 100 silver notes.
