Chapter 53 -53 Hurry Up and Deposit in the Bank_1

“The little girl is really sensible,” the officials suddenly exclaimed in mild surprise upon seeing such a pretty child.

It was hard to imagine that such a barren and backward mountain village could raise such a vibrant young girl.

Some even reached out to pat the little girl’s head.

Even in the Capital City, they had never seen a girl more beautiful than her.

By this time, Mrs. Xia had also come back to her senses and hurriedly invited them in, “Come, please come in and sit down!”

“Village Chief Grandpa, and all the uncles, please have some water.” After they took their seats, the five brothers quickly brought over sugar water and some fruits and milk candies, placing them in front of the guests.

Mrs. Xia nervously fidgeted with the corner of her clothes, “We country folks don’t have much to offer, I hope you won’t mind.”

Indeed, these things were considered quite abundant in the countryside, but people from big cities might not treasure them as much.

“Where’s that coming from, sister? You’re too polite,” the officials waved their hands and laughed heartily.

This laughter alleviated much of the awkwardness and constraint.

Seeing that it was about time, the village chief got down to business, “The thing is, Mrs. Xia Jianren, the authorities are planning to build a canal in the northwest direction for drought prevention and other purposes, and they need to requisition your seven acres of land…”

“What?” Mrs. Xia was stunned and felt as if she were floating in a dream.

Could it be possible to requisition barren land?

“Yes,” the officials confirmed, “Sister, please rest assured, we’re acting on orders from above and we won’t shortchange the farmers. We will provide a compensation of two thousand three hundred yuan per acre.”

Two thousand three hundred yuan!?

Didn’t that mean her seven acres of land were worth sixteen thousand one hundred yuan?

Could a few acres of barren land really be worth that much?

Mrs. Xia was so shocked she almost fell off her chair.

In fact, this amount of money was merely the sum of two months of her earnings, but for an ordinary peasant family, it was an extraordinary matter.

Her shock was born from the feeling that she was getting an incredibly good deal; who would have imagined that the unwanted barren land could be requisitioned, and with such a generous compensation!

This was like money falling from heaven… and it seemed to be aimed directly at her!

“Sister, what do you think?” the officials asked.

“I…” Mrs. Xia was about to speak, but then remembered that it was Xia Ningxing who had insisted on having the barren land allocated to them, so she instinctively looked at Ningxing, wanting to hear her opinion.

Ningxing, cradling her clean chin, gave her a slight nod.

Two thousand three hundred per acre, which was actually three hundred more than what was written in the novels.

Although she didn’t know why, it was undoubtedly a good thing!

Without hesitation, Mrs. Xia smiled and said, “We agree. It’s our pride to be able to help the authorities.”

Now, Mrs. Xia had lost her earlier unease, and being experienced in business, she naturally knew the right thing to say to people. Each of the officials showed a satisfied expression, “Sister, your ideological awareness is commendable.”

“Let’s sign the contract then.”

The officials said as they took out the pre-prepared contract from their bag and laid it in front of Mrs. Xia.

“Okay!” Mrs. Xia didn’t suspect any deceit from the officials, and without even looking, she immediately imprinted her thumbprint on the document.

The officials then took out a stack of banknotes from their bag, “Sister, please count them.”

“No need, no need; we trust the authorities.” Mrs. Xia looked at the stacks of banknotes, almost bursting into laughter.

However, even though she declined, as soon as they had left, Mrs. Xia hurriedly carried the money back to the room, laid it on the bed, spat into her hand and gleefully began to count the money, “One note, two notes, three notes… a hundred and sixty-one notes!”

Sixteen thousand one hundred yuan, not one note less, not one note more, just the right amount!

After counting the money, Ningxing heard Mrs. Xia mutter, “No, no, we must hurry and deposit it in the bank; we can’t keep it at home, what if it gets stolen!”
