"There shouldn't be any problems with the land, right?" Zhang Xiaoloong asked.

[It is not easy to take care of this place. It is just a matter of paying. Why is it so troublesome?]

"What did you just call me?" Lee Xiulian, on the other hand, kept him in suspense.

"Elder Sister Lianzi?" Zhang Xiaoloong said in confusion.

"You already called me Sis, if that old man dares to make things difficult for you, I'll chop him apart," Lee Xiulian said fiercely, then she started giggling, "But we agreed that you can't call me Sis for nothing. In the future, you have to often come to my house to chat with me, and I don't know what's so good about that old man outside."

Zhang Xiaoloong was sweating profusely. He didn't know who had just yelled at Wang Tiezhu to scram.

No matter what, this matter was more important. After signing the contract, even if he didn't come here often, would Lee Xiulian go to his house to find him?

"What is Xiaoloong thinking? He's not thinking of having a wife, is he?" Lee Xiulian noticed that the other party's eyes were a little unfocused, so she couldn't help but tease, "Which girl do you like? Elder Sister Lianzi will advise you. Speaking of seeing women, it's Elder Sister Lianzi who is more experienced than you …"

"Ugh …" "Cough …"

There was a long cough coming from outside and he knew that Wang Tiezhu had come back.

He was also surprised to see Zhang Xiaoloong sitting inside. "What's up with Xiaoloong?" he asked. "Right, I just heard that Liu Changsheng wanted to attack and be scared by you. Haha, you brat, you're great. You look just like how you did back then …"

"Enough, enough with the gold on your face," Lee Xiulian interrupted him with a look of disdain, "And your appearance back then, even when you were just a kid on Xiaoloong's side, you were just a fool. And Xiaoloong, that's the top scholar in the entire country, now you still want to do something big, can't you compare yourself to a nail?"

However, he did not dare to be angry with the woman, so he could only whip his pipe twice and change the topic: "That brat Liu Changsheng is too much, it's only right that you beat him up after telling him about it. Oh right, Xiaoloong, you came to find me about the matter of renting his house, it's fine. For the remaining two years, let's rent according to the rules. I see if he dares to give you a cent or more."

"It is indeed a matter of land ownership, but we will not be including Liu Changsheng's home anymore. We want to discuss it with Grandpa of Zhuzi and see if we can carve out a piece of that wasteland on the west side of the village for me to grow." Zhang Xiaoloong said seriously.

"The wasteland at the western end of the village? "What use is a bag of that land for? Even if it was really opened, don't talk about how much effort it would take to get it, if you don't raise it for two to three years, it would be impossible for it to yield any good results." Wang Tiezhu was confused.

This time, Grandpa of Zhuzi is right, just listening to you just now and not thinking about it too much, the area on the west side of the village is a land that has been deserted for several lifetimes. Although the soil is the same as the village, I heard that there are a lot of rocks underneath. Lee Xiulian didn't beat around the bush for the man this time. It was only because she understood it in her heart.

The land that ordinary villagers grew was planted year after year. Only by fertilization and nurturing could this type of land grow crops with vigor.

It was like the kind of wasteland that had just been opened. It hadn't been overturned, suntanned, or fattened before, and everyone called it a birthplace. It would only yield good harvest after a few years of proper cultivation.

"This is also something I want to discuss with Grandpa of Zhuzi, because this wasteland needs to be raised, so the lease period must be a little longer. Otherwise, if I finish all the work in front and the village doesn't let me rent any more, then all my hard work will be wasted." Zhang Xiaoloong said his request first.

So, that's what you're worried about, if it's just that, there's no need to rent that wasteland. In the past two years, there are many people who want to work in the city, and there are also a lot of people who want to take care of the land outside the city. Not everyone is as bad as Liu Changsheng. Wang Tiezhu pondered for a moment before suggesting.

"I understand that Grandpa of Zhuzi is thinking for my sake, but I still want to rent that piece of barren land. I want to build a glass greenhouse in the village, so this time, I plan to rent it for thirty years. No one would rent someone else's land for such a long time." Zhang Xiaoloong also admitted his difficulties.

"So it's like that, that's true …"

Wang Tiezhu thought for a moment. Three to five years passed in a flash, but it would take him thirty to fifty years. That was half of his life. Who would dare to guarantee that he wouldn't be able to come back from the city for the rest of his life?

Since that's the case, then there's no need to hesitate. If Xiaoloong wants to rent it, then just let him have it. But I have to be clear about one thing. Lee Xiulian put her hands on her waist, clearly showing her attitude.

"Look at you, what are you saying in front of the child?" Wang Tiezhu turned his head away out of curiosity, knocked on the pipe and said to Zhang Xiaoloong, "That place originally had no race. Although I'm not in charge of this, I don't think it's a problem. How much do you want to rent?"

Zhang Xiaoloong looked at the Village Head and nodded. After pondering for a while, he replied, "Ten mu first."

It wasn't that he didn't want to rent more, but when he thought about how he had to rent too much land at once, even if it was cheap, it would cost a lot of money. He didn't have much capital to spend.

Wang Tiezhu nodded: "Okay, no problem. Tomorrow I will call a few meetings in the village and come up with a suitable price …"

"You, the village chief, are just decorations. You can't even make the decision for such a small matter. You're so cowardly." Lee Xiulian said in a dissatisfied tone.

No matter what, it's not our own land. Since it's from the village, we have to ask the village committee to let us know, "Wang Tiezhu did not dare to be vague about this," If I really have to make my own decisions, I'll rent it out quietly. When the time comes, everyone will think that I've benefited from it.

"Grandpa of Zhuzi is right, we have to do this in the open," Zhang Xiaoloong also agreed, "In addition, I have another request, although I want to rent for 30 years, but I might not be able to pay all of the rent at once, either on a yearly basis or within 5 years, so the price can't be too expensive, or I can't afford to rent it either."

Don't worry, if you are able to open up this wasteland, the village will have to thank you. Tomorrow, I will just say hello at the meeting and believe that those people will all agree with me. At the very least, I will have to give you the free rent for the first five years. Wang Tiezhu also patted his chest to get to the bottom of it.

Five years was more than enough time to realize all the plans he had made. Zhang Xiaoloong finally felt reassured and left after a few pleasantries.

"This child is someone who does great things!" Wang Tiezhu packed another bag of cigarettes for himself.

"Boss," Lee Xiulian said in a rare gentle tone, "I have something to discuss with you."
